If Efimov worked for the USSR, can someone explain why this particular poster is in English? Is this an "after-the-fact" translation, or were his posters used in English speaking countries as well? -- Bletch 22:55, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I was wondering the very same thing. -- babbage 09:18, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Ha, a year later and I show up to ask the same thing... Everyking 06:18, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
Many of the posters/cartoons during the time of war (and some, after the war) were reprinted with Enlish captions and forwarded to the commitees in the West (Europe and US) to be disseminated for propaganda purposes to help the war effort. Anchorite 15:31, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

He was born in 1900 and is currently still alive and well... as well as someone could be at the age of 107.

The entry says Sept 28. However, this article states he celebrated 107th birthday "this week". I doublechecked the Hebrew calendar, and the 28th of Sept in 1900 was Tishrei 5, which would have been Sept 17th this year, so that isn't the discrepancy. Gavroche42 18:00, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't sure how to handle this situation, so I matched the Infobox (and ending content) with the introductory content. I'm not certain which year Efimov was born, so I'll let others decide. GoodDay ( talk) 15:51, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
