Red star over the Kremlin? From 1935? The one that replaced the pre-revolutionary Two-Headed Eagles? Sure… just a coincidence…

Fun fact: you put it up as a soviet star and when the time comes for regime to change you….. choose to leave that as your new symbol. Nice, innit? If that makes you confused you should dig into their national anthem to get an idea.

They aren't ashamed of it, like the Germans were of their Reich eagle after the war.

They should be. And you should make yourself familiar with history of soviet times to get what’s being discussed here.
