Talk:Flag of the Soviet Union

message: Excerpt from the article:
"On April 15, 1996 Boris Yeltsin signed a presidential decree giving the Soviet flag (called the Victory Banner, after the banner that was raised above the Reichstag on May 1, 1945) status similar to that of the national flag.  The difference is that the hammer and sickle has been removed from the flag.  On certain holidays, the Victory Banner is flown along with the Russian flag. Under President Putin, the Victory Banner was adopted as the official flag of the Russian Army."
However, to the immediate right of that paragraph is a picture with the caption "Victory Banner", which contains the hammer and sickle. Which one tells the truth? Kareeser|Talk! 02:19, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I find that this article contradicts its Russian version which should itself be more reliable. There the so called "almost-burgundry crimson" flag is not portrayed for example. I think a revision should be made. ZealotKommunizma 16:10, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

message: As follows from the article, its only difference from 1980 flag, is that it is darker. Should it be uploaded, or we should use 1980 version for that period? Cmapm 23:44, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I say yes, we should upload. That would be better than using an incorrect flag in the  parameter of  etc.  slυмgυм [ ←→ ] 17:35, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Flag#Shape and design claims that the USSR flag is one of few where "the reverse design may differ, in whole or in part, from that of the obverse."  Is this really the case, and if so, how? Jpatokal 22:41, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The way the Cuban flag is shown seems to imply that it was inspired by the Flag of the Soviet Union, which doesn't seem actually to be the case. LaFoiblesse 2010-01-09 11:40PM (GMT)
I agree, the Cuban flag according to the Wikipedia article predates the Soviet union. GVasil (talk) 14:01, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure if flags of SFR Yugoslavia and SPR Albania should be here, because former is old Yugoslav flag with (large) Red star, and similar thing is with latter (Red star is smaller). So it looks more like just incorporating Red star symbol than adapting Soviet Red flag? -- Olovni (talk) 15:22, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

message: This article mentions nothing about the current usage of the Soviet flag, it's used all the time in Russian military parades, political rallies, popular protests, and by several political parties (such as the CPRF, the Left Front, and the National Bolsheviks), this should be discussed.

message: I and some other people see the flag of Albuquerque, New Mexico and say that it looks weirdly like the Soviet flag, especially since the background is red and the dove on the Albuquerque flag is in a very similar shape to the hammer and sickle. Should that flag be included in "Similar flags"?

message: While this page depicts the Victory Banner hammer and sickle as the standard design for the pre-1955 flag of the USSR, I’m pretty sure the hammer and sickle design printed on the documents from the Comintern was the “official” hammer and sickle emblazoned on Soviet flags at the time. It much more closely matches contemporary photographs. Rhemmiel (talk) 08:26, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
