Five Years in Azerbaijan, a 1922 USSR poster. Interesting that it's in Arabic. From "Red Star Over Russia': A revolution in visual culture 1905–55. Exhibition at the Tate Modern, November 2017. (2017 marked the centenary of the October Revolution.) https://flic.kr/p/2mLZHbr
Presumably from before all Soviet republics and satellite states taught everyone Russian because the script is Arabic, and I'm told by a professor of Arabic the language is a form of Turkish.
