Sierra Zulu Kickstarter Reward: Long Play Records, autographed by Jello Biafra
Soviet Unterzoegersdorf Ambassador Chrusov received 5 (in words: five) LPs with works of US American musician and spoken word artist Jello Biafra! All records are signed by Jello Biafra. The LPs cleared censorship and are currently stored in the bathroom of Ambassador Chrusov’s motel room in San Mateo (California).

Sierra Zulu Kickstarter Reward: A ‘T-Shirt’ for the (limited) Masses!
Fellow communists! We got a multitude of electronic messages, all of them asking for a reward in form of textile! And we answer with: DA!
Soviet Unterzoegersdorf’s Cotton Commission presents a very limited ‘T-Shirt’ for $72. A high amount? No. Shortage of resources!

Sierra Zulu Kickstarter Reward: The Bust of Pavel Protin
People’s General Pavel Protin, nicknamed ‘Pavel the Prole’, was one of the VIPs (Very Important Proletarian) of Soviet Unterzoegersdorf. As a special remembrance reward we offer a 3D-printed bust of the People’s General! For only $42!
This fine item made of heat-squirted plastic is limited and will never ever be posted on Thingiverse! Artifical scarcity, but in a memorable way!

For filthy rich reactionaries: We also added a $5432 option.

Sierra Zulu Kickstarter Reward for Plutocrats: Blood!
Soviet Unterzoegersdorf’s Research Group For Commodity Fetishism published a new paper (H32/7/12).
Quote: “In order to access and attract the wealthy plutocratic Western clientele, the State has to offer an additional reward in form of a decadent perversion.”
Recommendation of the research group: “In case of a single donor contributing more than $19,998, director Johannes Grenzfurthner should consume 1 pint of his own blood.”
He accepted. Only 1 pint available.

Sierra Zulu Kickstarter: Get Digital Versatile Disk! Huge piece of paper! And Signatures!
The “Digital Versatile Disk” is an optical disc storage format, invented and developed by Philips, Sony, and other class enemies in 1995. Soviet Unterzoegersdorf tried to establish its own standard, but failed, because they didn’t embrace the porn market.
Nevertheless: Donate over $129 and you will receive a limited edition DVD (signed by celebs) plus a Sierra Zulu movie poster (signed by even more celebs), plus a special Soviet gift (signed by an unknown soldier). (Disclaimer: DVD is a dying medium. It might end up being a Blu-Ray.)

New reward on Kickstarter! Gravel, the Fundament of our State!
In the face of a slowly expanding population and the unfulfilled demands for land for all types of public development, the problem of utilizing gravel is a critical issue for the industry of Soviet Unterzoegersdorf!
We want to offer you a deal. Give us $39 (bah, Bretton-Woods, bah!) to tell our story and you will receive a precious (and collectable) piece of our homeland! The Soviet Unterzoegersdorf Academy of Earth Handling will include a one-of-a-kind certificate of origin! (And your name on the silver screen!)
