WTF Monday: Photos Prove Schwarzenegger Actually Russian Terminator From WWII

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 20 of July , 2009 at 5:19 am

Russian Terminator

From the “somebody has too much time on their hands” file comes this set (there’s a whole series at the link below) of photos detailing how Russian soldiers constructed a Terminator robot during World War II, gave it some booze and a fuzzy hat and a Schwarzenegger outfit, and then set it loose upon the world with some oversize weaponry and a poor understanding of modern fiscal management techniques. I wouldn’t have believed it if the pics hadn’t been picked up by some Russian newspaper… If anyone can translate those speech bubbles, please please share.

translation of the first at top left: “thats our good sovjet raw iron”
second at top right “dr Bormental is late” (i suppose its the one who’s offering “to loose weight with hypnosis)

middle “before Kalashnikov was invented, sovjet soldiers were practicing on the speed-communistborg-assembling”

headline: “batlle commborg (communistborg?)”

middle bottom – “tell the command – test was successful”

left bottom “sovjetian robot has not only to fight the enemy, but also to know whom (by rank) to pour out first”

oh – and the right side^^:
top: “comrade commborg – for fatherland, for stalin – advance!”

whole headline is “stalins battle commborgs”

bottom right: “did not have other (heads) on stock”
