Communist symbol returns to Russian Army's flag

When did it leave?

This gesture obviously tells you something about what Putin intends to do to the country. The Soviet Union never died. It's just been dormant, and is slowly creeping back to life. Cold War Part II, here we come.

President Vladimir Putin will ratify the move in time for next week's commemorations marking the end of World War II in Europe

Riiiiight....more like marking the beginning of the gradual re-appearance of the neo-Soviet Union. Stupid commies...

An overreaction. Red Army soldiers who fought in Stalingrad, who marched to Berlin and back are still alive. That is the largest reason for adopting the hammer and sickle. WWII still has a mythical hold on the Slavs of the FSU.
