That's a cool cover, Grubozaboyschikov! Very simple in style, but so very effective!

Very cool, I like the simplicity of the design. Nothing too over the top, just a very subtle, powerful image.

Very clever idea to have the swastika cracking open the soviet symbol.

Jim like.

It's a KGB badge, to be precise.

I really really really like it. The best covers always have a single image to look at - and this one's just terrifically done. Makes me wish it was an actual cover!
