Take note, politicians -- this is how you demand the attention of your constituents.

A candidate for student council elections is taking a furry approach to politics, by trolling his fellow candidates with posters campaigning for "Soviet Bear." While his competitors promise class and integrity in their leadership, Soviet Bear promises all the luxury and security of communist Russia.

Soviet Bear's antics were highlighted by classmate and Redditor UKZephyr, who posted the humorous posters online.

The campaign plays on the popular "In Soviet Russia" trope popularized in the 1980s and revived in the past 10 years.

Good effort, Emily and Kelsea -- Soviet Bear wishes no luck to the enemy.
