It's what it is. Nasty rhymes of the kind of language one wouldn't be taught to translate. I don't believe it is a homage. Perhaps it might have served an inspiration to the Soviet soldiers who wrote it, though. I found it appropriate to the topic of the conversation, having the picture in my archives of interesting historical things, so I posted it.It seems like the body of that poster is a lot of rhyming insults.
