I had some personal experience with how designers in Russia work - the client has a budget, the client’s subcontractor chooses the cheapest local designer at miserable price, the designer pulls the first image from Google that roughly fits client’s idea, opens pirated PhotoShop, copy paste and it’s done. There was a short period when Russia was ready to pursue copyright claims following its membership in NATO but I don’t think anyone cares anymore.

“We have cities that are troubled, we can’t have cities that are troubled,” Trump told assembled service members in Japan on Tuesday. “And we’re sending in our National Guard, and if we need more than the National Guard, we’ll send more than the National Guard, because we’re going to have safe cities.”Trump later told reporters: “The courts wouldn’t get involved. Nobody would get involved. And I could send the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines. I could send anybody I wanted.”
