The hammer and sickle, an emblem originally adopted by the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) in 1918, represents the unity of industrial workers (hammer) and peasants (sickle), core pillars of communist society. This symbol quickly became synonymous with the Soviet Union and was featured on its national flag, representing the aspiration for a classless society and solidarity among workers worldwide. The phrases “Glory to Soviet Socialist Republics” and “Proletariat of the World, Unite” echo foundational communist sentiments. The latter phrase was famously associated with Karl Marx’s “Communist Manifesto” and became a rallying cry for international labor solidarity, symbolizing the Soviet Union’s aim to lead a global socialist movement. Lenin’s presence on the flag is especially significant, as he was the architect of the 1917 October Revolution and the founder of the Soviet state. His portrait was often used to symbolize revolutionary ideals, leadership, and loyalty to Marxist-Leninist principles. Flags like this one were used in parades, public buildings, and gatherings to inspire national pride and remind Soviet citizens of their revolutionary roots and their unity with the global proletariat. This flag is not just a piece of cloth but a piece of history, reflecting the ideological fervor, ambitions, and the cultural-political identity of the Soviet Union.
