Soviet Russian Issue New Info An old discussion on the talk page 2006 and an old version of this article notes that the Russian scientists have baggage with the Russian Aeroflot airline logo which contains the Soviet hammer and sickle See it at and here on Wikipedia at Aeroflot Now on the one hand Aeroflot decided to keep this logo AFTER the Soviet Union dissolved they became privatized because it had become so recognizable On the other hand virtually anyone seeing the film in 1968 would have concluded from the presence of the logo on the baggage that these scientists were working for the Soviet Union
