That’s interesting. But even if most of them were soldiers, isn’t an astronaut still a “civilian” job? Either way this shirt is super cursed and the fact they didn’t even make the CCCP person a Star Wars character is just even more cringe.
Later they started to send scientists and engineers but for good few years it wasn’t exactly safest job out there, and it heavily involved things airforce pilots learned, so they send soldiers. Same for USA. If you look at ISS crews, basically safest possible astronaut posting in history of space flight, still most of them were soldiers including nearly half of current crew.
Yes! Not even a Russian guy specifically (which would’ve still been bad, don’t get me wrong), but a Soviet specifically who could’ve been anything (Russian, Ukrainian, Georgian, etc.). It’s a terrible shirt that you can actually buy for around 11 bucks.
Star War is popular and people think Zelensky is a hero, so imagery like this is seen as relatable rather than worrying. "The guy fighting the evil Russians likes Star Wars? He’s just like me!“ People wont realize how bad this actually is until way after this war is over, it’s unfortunate but thats just how things go it seems.
Also depicting the death/killing of an astronaut; not a soldier, a civilian. Very cool.
I think all or almost all cosmonauts were actually a soldiers of airforce (it’s still supercringe and on the nose for ukronazis).

I was tired as hell, and read that as “ISIS crews.” Funny thing is, the American soldiers part still made sense.
Damn, now that you mention it, it’s not any astronaut either! It says CCCP on the helmet. That nazi t-shirt just gets worse the more you look at it

Insane how someone so high-profile can just walk in public wearing something like that. It should trigger tons of alarm bells
