I think this had everything to do with commemoration not politics.

Well, nw_arizona_granny, you have tried to tell me for years about Putin. I was never sure and wondered about Gorbachev.
I’m sorry. You were right. I guess this return of the flag will probably be symbolic of a violent revolution that Marx always advocated.

Russia's Parliament has voted to restore the communist-era hammer and sickle to the official flag of the Russian Army. It is expect President Vladimir Putin will ratify the move in time for next week's commemorations Only fools are surprised.
Same with China, those that believe China has now become a legitimate friend, and are approving of capitalist ideals, are foolish.

All this means is that the current flags are getting worn out, and some genius said ‘hey wait Comrades! we have a bunch of old Soviet-style flags with the hammer & sickle just gathering dust in a warehouse, let’s use ‘em!’, they pass a quick law restoring the symbol, and everybody’s happy. ;)

God this is depressing.

Federation Council endorses Victory Banner bill
MOSCOW. May 4 (Interfax) - The Federation Council has approved a bill on the Victory Banner as revised by the conciliation commission.
Senators discussed the bill for the first time in mid-April. The majority of senators then opposed the bill passed by the State Duma, which provided that a copy of the flag raised atop the Reichstag in Berlin on May 1, 1945 have a five-pointed white star on a red field without the hammer and sickle.
The senators voted it down, saying that the hammer and sickle must remain on the Victory Banner.
The bill was sent back to the Duma, which in its turn overcame the Federation Council’s veto. However, the president subsequently vetoed it. The conciliation commission, consisting of members of the both chambers of the Russian parliament, then revised the bill.

but in Russia its significance is much deeper, with the Soviet victory over fascism in World War II remaining something seen in almost religious terms. Until Hitler invaded the USSR, National Socialism and Communism were two sides of the same coin.
Before the Nazi invasion, the USSR denounced Britain's stand against Hitler and America's aid to Britain.
The USSR and Nazi Germany deserved all the horrors they did to each other.
