Russian Warship, Go Fuck Yourself | Screen Printed Poster by Sascha Lobe

posted by Robyn Pitts February 28, 2022

On 25th February, Ukraine’s president Zelenskyy honoured 13 soldiers defending Snake Island after reportedly swearing at a Russian warship that ordered them to surrender. Against first reports, the soldiers, thankfully, may still be alive. Their quote “Russian warship, go fuck yourself”, recorded on audio clips, stays the signature quote that captures the sentiment of the Ukrainian people defending themselves against Putin’s invasion. Since the beginning of Putin’s unlawful war, over 150,000 Ukrainians – mostly women and children – seek refuge in Poland and other neighbouring countries. Support the cause and pre-order our A2 screen printed poster created in collaboration with graphic designer Sascha Lobe.

All of the revenue raised from this poster project will go directly towards the UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and we hope that our efforts, along with your support, help the Ukrainian Crisis.

After selling out our first limited edition #1 of 100 silkscreen poster in just five hours, we can’t thank our audience enough for the support and donations they have given. We have decided to create a second run of this special print in reverse colours to generate more revenue which will go directly to UNHCR. We will be keeping no money from this campaign and are printing everything free of charge.

Sascha Lobe is a graphic designer working at the intersection of architecture and graphic design, he joined Pentagram as a partner in June 2018. Previously, he was founder and lead creative director at L2M3, where his work encompassed wayfinding systems, signage, print, branding, and identity projects for some of the world’s most well-known companies and cultural institutions.

Please Note: this is a pre-order, so please allow time for hand screen printing and delivery. Estimated dispatch 12th March.
