This item is an accessory for a toy minifigure, consisting of a flag mounted on a small black flagpole with a base.
The flag shown is a vertical banner version of the national flag of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), commonly known as the Soviet Union. This was the official flag of the country from 1922 until its dissolution in 1991.
The design is one of the most recognizable symbols of the 20th century and is rich with communist symbolism:
- The solid red field represents the 1917 October Revolution and is the traditional color of the international communist and socialist movements.
- The emblem in the upper corner is a yellow hammer and sickle. The hammer represents the nation’s industrial workers, while the sickle represents the agricultural peasants (farmers). Their crossing symbolizes the unity between these two classes.
The flag piece itself is a small, printed plastic tile, hung vertically in the style of a banner. This accessory is perfect for representing a Soviet soldier or citizen, or for use in historical dioramas of the World War II or Cold War periods.
