you're wrong — the Russians are restarting their conquest of the Caucasus into Iran. The Communists only interrupted Russia's advance. If you read up on how the state of Muscovy advanced from being a tiny principality under the thumb of the Golden Horde, to conquering Kazan and Astrakhan, to conquering the Khan-ate of Siberia and the Crimean Tartars, to their 19th century wars against Persia, you will understand that Putin aims to bring back the days of the Tzar's, not the days of the Commissars.

Umm...I posted a link to a pre-Communist flag. Maybe you were responding to another poster?
