Perfect! beautifull and well executed.
I can't find anything wrong in this, but i would place Nicolau Alexandrovich Romanov as the fool (for his naivetΓ©) or the hanged man.Β

I love them, and the aesthetic is great, though if the deck is propaganda themed, why would the Soviet propaganda department make Stalin the Devil?Shouldn't he be the Emperor and Uncle Sam be the devil?

I would have made Lenin and Trotsky "Justice", to combat Stalin as the "Devil"

This is a very great job ! I really love the result
There is just a mistake : "magiGian" instead of "magiCian" below Karl Marx's card, but never mind ! ^^

I know, but the cards are russian and Soviet themed and at time of the Chernobyl disaster Ukraine was still a part of the USSR

It's more american russian interpretation then the pure soviet.
The Imperial twohead eagle and the Soviet cannot be put together.
Priest is quite catholic not orthodox. Also official religion of USSR was atheism and communism: the Church was oppressed very much.
Also Emperor - no empreror in Soviets; if you want to use culturary russian siluette, then search for the pre-Peter the First (after him everything became very europian styled) - Ivan IV and so on figures.
The Rasputin - also is for the Emperial Russia, not the Soviet. His role in history is quite undefined.
And Lovers - use the "Worker and the Peasant" statue )

Thank for the Crits, My opinion was more of a outsiders view of Russia and Soviet themes,I under up with a mixed becuase of the short time frame I had to do the

research and to make them in, I had to try and make some of themes more understandable for people not from Russia, Tho it is more of my British view of Russian mainly because not american( just wanted to get that in there

Mkey )
Also, "The Justice"'card could be represented with the commisar.
Like here - Felix Dzerzhinsky - [link] - the creator of CH-K- The KGB progenitor.
Or here - [link] - something very W40K-ish )

Very nice and creative!
It would've never crossed my mind to use this kind of theme in Tarot cards.
Truly creative way to interprete the Major Arcanas.

I've been favoriteing your work since it came out, you've done an excellent job with these. Only thing I woulda changed would have been to use a ostok capsule for the chariot vs a space shuttle since Russia's Buran didn't get very far and these were soviet themed. But that's just me being picky. Great job

Thanks very much for liking my work. I had looked into using different Russian spacecraft for the Chariot card. But I found the Buran had the most recognisable silhouette of being a spacecraft compared to others I tried, Even though the Buran didn't have manned flight.
