It depends on whether you have the right or not. If you control the copyright to something (i.e., you drew/painted/wrote it), you have the exclusive right to copy it or authorize others to do so. If you do not control the copyright, you need an exemption in the law or permission from the copyright holder.

Can you claim copyright on reproduced Soviet Military produced posters?

No you cannot "claim" copyright unless you are the original artist/author. Just because you "found" a copy of something does not mean you own the copyright for it. The only way to obtain copyright is to create it yourself, hire someone to create it for you, inherit it, or purchase the rights from the legal owner.

What does it mean if a computer game or software is copyright?

'Copyright' is the acknowledgement that the software's creators get to decide how their intellectual property (the game) is used. That means that it's a breach of copyright to distribute the software yourself, or to try to disassemble it into components, and such.

Does copyright mean that nobody is allowed to copy a famous design?

Fortunately or unfortunately, copyright law isn't as black-and-white as that. If the design is protected by copyright, then only the copyright holder can copy it or authorize others to do so. Some copying is allowed by limitations, defenses, and exceptions in the copyright law itself. And the design may not even be protected in the first place, if the term has expired. So yes, copyright law means I can't put a Picasso on a t-shirt and sell it without a license. But I can take a photo of it or attempt to recreate it in my art class.

Copyright doesn't mean you can't write about something.
