From Hammer and Sickle to Red Stars: Unveiling the Visual Language of Soviet Society
Symbols of Soviet Society is a term that refers to a diverse collection of flags and pennants that were in use in the Soviet Union. These symbols had various roles and depicted different elements of Soviet society.
The national flag of the USSR, a prominent symbol, was a red rectangular panel featuring a golden sickle and hammer, and a red five-pointed star surrounded by a gold border. This flag was a representation of the state sovereignty of the USSR and the unbreakable bond of workers and peasants in their pursuit to build a communist society.
In addition to the national flag, each of the Soviet Republics had its own flag. These flags were unique to each republic and symbolized their individual identities within the union.
