This item is an accessory for a toy minifigure, consisting of a ceremonial flag mounted on a small black flagpole with a base.
The flag shown is a red banner featuring the State Emblem of the Soviet Union (USSR). While the official national flag of the USSR was a simpler design (a plain red flag with a small hammer, sickle, and star in the corner), this version with the full, complex emblem was often used in official and ceremonial contexts to represent the Soviet state as a whole, for example, on government buildings or during parades.
The State Emblem itself is rich with communist symbolism:
- The hammer and sickle on top of a globe represents the victory of communism across the world.
- The rising sun at the bottom symbolizes the dawn of a new era for humanity.
- The emblem is framed by wreaths of wheat, representing the nation’s agriculture and prosperity.
- The wreaths are wrapped in red ribbons, which on the real emblem were inscribed with the state motto, “Workers of the world, unite!” in the various languages of the Soviet Republics.
- A red star is positioned at the very top.
The flag piece itself is a small, printed plastic tile. This accessory is perfect for dioramas of Soviet government buildings, official ceremonies, or military parades from the WWII or Cold War eras.
