Little eaglet, little eaglet, fly higher than the sun
And look at the steppe from the heights.
I probably left my home forever,
Joining the Cossack ranks.

Do you remember, little eagle, how we flew together
Over the steppe in the dust of battle,
How the horses neighed, how the checkers sparkled
In the fields near Chelyaba, dear.

Have you seen how in a terrible battle
Both right and left shells exploded,
Tearing off my hat.

I was sent on reconnaissance by my ataman,
Do you remember, my fighting friend,
Like on a dark night in an unequal battle
My faithful horse was killed.

Little eagle, little eagle, my faithful comrade,
You saw that I survived.
Fly to your home village and tell me
How they led their son to be shot!

Have you seen, little eagle, how long they tormented
me with a Bolshevik bayonet,
How they beat me with rifle butts and tortured me a lot
Later in the KGB dungeons.

Little eaglet, little eaglet, fly higher than the sun,
Where there is no enemy meanness.
I don't want to think about death, believe me,
At sixteen boyish years.

You will see, little eagle, circling over the steppes
My bloody body.
The Cossacks will be silent, they will lower the banner here
And they will say: Lord, calm down!

We raised the banner of rebellion,
We couldn't live as slaves
And taking the cross of testing in my hands,
They left their native land.

We fought for happiness for a long time.
The struggle was too much
And dark clouds of bad weather
An evil fate gave us
.
We fought for a long time, we are tired,
Fighting in bloody dust
The enemies have taken away our strength,
But they could not extinguish the spirit.

We have the spirit of our great ancestors,
Those who served their native country,
Faces greet us from the sky
Died in a fierce struggle.

We are the basis of Russian happiness,
Without fear we look forward.
We are always ready to fight
For the truth, for Rus', for the people

God sent us a heavy cross:
Rus' suffers in the claws of discord,
And evil noises like a stormy squall
Under the cries of our shame.

And the Russian heart is Moscow,
Her great shrines
Under the yoke of a daring enemy+
And a symbol of devilish pride. -

Banners red as blood
They look from the heights of the Kremlin towers+
Forward to where love is
Drawn - to Moscow - to our capital!

We will come from the distant outskirts,
Like a cleansing flame
And over Moscow we will develop
We are a white and green banner.

To victory we follow him everywhere
Let us direct our firm aspiration+
A gift from the north - to Moscow
We will bring liberation.

And the holy face of the Savior
And our glorious double-headed eagle
Will replace the Kremlin with a wall
Bloody violence symbol

Initially, the Bolsheviks called their star the “Star of Mars,” because, according to their understanding, it seemed to belong to the god of war, Mars.

But they made their first order, the Red Banner, unusual by approving and placing on it the image of an inverted star.

The statute of this order stated that the five rays of the red star are a union of ordinary workers of the five continents of the Earth for freedom. In September 1918, the chairman of the Central Executive Committee, Yakov Sverdlov, entrusted the artist Vasily Denisov with developing the design of the order, but he was ill and almost all the main work was done by his son Vladimir Denisov, who was also an artist. This order was awarded to commanders and commissars of the Red Army, the first of whom was Blucher. Nestor Makhno was also awarded this order (in Soviet times this fact was hushed up in every possible way).

But the five-pointed red star on the Order of the Red Banner of the RSFSR was made upside down, and this, according to one version, corresponds to Masonic symbolism:

The evolution of the first order of the country of the Soviets - the Order of the Red Banner:

In addition to the RSFSR Order of the Red Banner, there was a similar Azerbaijani “Red Banner”:

And here is a rare Mongolian “Red Banner” and a sign very similar to the order “To the Hero of the Rev. movement":

STAR is an ancient magical symbol. In alchemy and hermeticism it denotes a person. Everyone knows the image below.

Vitruvian Man. Drawing by Leonardo Da Vinci

But the pentagram is also a working symbol of the 5th arcana of magic. Star - pentagram, pentacle (penta - five) is usually depicted in two forms. A star with the top up and the top down.

A star with its point up means violence, programming of people, submission to the will of others. And with the top down - any interaction with dark forces.

Is it not because the revolutionaries, among whom the leaders were Jews, grew up as a rule in Jewish families and were baptized most likely to create appearances and achieve their goals [in accordance with what is written in the second part of the Jewish code of laws “Shulchan Aruch” it is said: “If a Jew can deceive the Akum (apostates from Judaism), forcing them to believe that he (himself) is Akum, then this is permissible.” Thus, Judaism teaches that in front of foreigners a Jew has the right to falsely, for show, accept Christianity], along with the “star of violence” they also accepted an inverted star?

It is obvious that people from religious families, due to their origin, were, to one degree or another, familiar with Kabbalah and other mystical movements of Judaism, among which they grew up and were brought up before they were baptized. The Bolsheviks were interested in Theosophy; Blavatsky’s popularity is also known among them. In addition to using the sacraments of Kabbalistic movements, after the revolution the Bolsheviks attracted A.V. Barchenko, who, under the control of Trotsky’s kabbalist Yakov Blumkin (Simcha-Yankel Gershev Blumkin), who worked as a secretary, searched for information about the ancient knowledge of different peoples and faiths. The head of the Special Department of the OGPU, Gleb Bokiy, was aware of all the occult and mystical contacts and discoveries of Alexander Vasilyevich Barchenko. The murder of the royal family was also shrouded in mysticism, when investigators discovered Jewish Kabbalistic symbols and signs, as well as inscriptions in Hebrew, on the walls of the Ipatiev house.

Therefore, it should not be surprising that in those years the Jewish Bolsheviks decided to use an inverted star. When adopted by the army, the star pointing up is violence and subjugation. And the inverted star, intended directly for the commanders and commissars of the Red Army, awarded for the destruction of those who did not agree to live under the new government, meant that the wearer belonged to the dark devilish forces, one might say - it was a mark for identifying especially zealous assistants.

This mystical theme is reflected in this propaganda poster, calling on workers and peasants to join the army under the leadership of the communists:

The poster is the work of the famous artist Dmitry Moor. It was later published in the Soviet book "Illustrated History of the USSR".

And in the 30s, a dark mysticism can be seen in the Republic of Soviets, if only in this badge of the All-Union Spartakiad, the participants of which were mainly military men and security officers:

More than once in his articles he drew parallels between the ideology of the communists and the Abrahamic religions, born in the minds of the Jews with the aim of enslaving peoples infected with these ideas and religions and equally destructive to the consciousness of listeners.

https://cont.ws/@artads/531175 --"Occupiers in robes."

So today I will supplement this short post with an image of an inverted star, symbolizing communication with the dark forces of not only Jewish Bolsheviks, but also ministers of various religions.

Andrei Rublev painted this Orthodox icon (pictured 3) without being drunk:

He was well acquainted with various symbols, not the least of which were hexagrams and inverted stars located on religious buildings of various faiths (photos 1 and 2).

"The Red Star is a symbol of the unity of the worker and the plowman, who threw off the bloodsucker Tsar, landowners and capitalists from their necks and hoisted the Red Banner of Socialism over Russia. The Red Star is a symbol of the workers' and peasants' Soviet power, the defender of the poor and the equality of all workers. (... ) Shine brighter, our red star, and illuminate the whole world with your radiant rays of freedom and equality for all working people."

A red star. Ed. All-Russian Central Executive Committee. M., 1918, p. 5.7.

"You can offer me a flag other than red, any coat of arms other than the Jewish five-pointed star or other Masonic symbol, and any anthem other than the Internationale."

The main distinctive emblem of the Bolsheviks was the red five-pointed star, officially installed in the spring of 1918. Initially, Bolshevik propaganda called it the “Star of Mars” (allegedly belonging to the ancient god of war - Mars), and then began to declare that “the five rays of the star mean the union of the working people of all five continents in the fight against capitalism” (see Red Army. - “Izvestia of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee” "(M.), 1919, 11.V., No. 92, p. 3; Drachuk V.S. Heraldry tells. M., 1977, p. 94). True, here the Bolsheviks could not explain why exactly the same stars appear on the coat of arms and flag of the largest citadel of world imperialism - the USA, as well as on the state emblems (or flags) of Bolivia, Brazil, Venezuela, Honduras, Costa Rica, Cuba, Liberia , Panama, Paraguay and Chile, where the situation of the working masses has traditionally been extremely difficult.

Coat of arms of Paraguay (What a Soviet symbol!)

In reality, the five-pointed star has nothing to do with either the warlike deity Mars or the international proletariat. This is an ancient occult sign (obviously of Middle Eastern origin), called in heraldry a “pentagram” or “Star of Solomon” (not to be confused with the six-pointed “Star of David”, which deserves a separate discussion).

One of the oldest Middle Eastern images of a pentagram on a vessel (Mesopotamia, 4th millennium BC)

It should be emphasized that the party flag of the Zionist movement, personally designed in 1897 by the Ober-Zionist Theodor (Benjamin-Zeev) Herzl, simultaneously contained one large six-pointed “Star of David” and seven small five-pointed “Stars of Solomon” - obligatory ritual accessories of Jewish Kabbalism (see. "Motherland", 2002, No. 4/5, p. 95). Note that in 1903 in Russia, the Zionists started issuing “copper tokens with the image of a star and five main figures on the Zionist issue” (see “Bulletin of the Archivist”, 2001, No. 2, p. 205)

The pentagram is constantly used in Masonic symbolism, from where it came into the state emblem of the USA, post-war Italy and other countries ruled by Freemasons (the coats of arms of many Latin American republics are actually slightly modified signs of local Masonic lodges that came to power in the 19th century as a result of anti-monarchical revolutions) .

Masonic signs in the form of a pentagram

As is known, the Freemasons set as their program goal the so-called “globalization” - that is, the subordination of all the peoples of the Earth to a certain “World Government”, which is under the complete control of Freemasonry (primarily American-Israeli): “... We will tire the goyim so much that we will force them agree to an international power that can, without breaking, absorb into itself all the state forces of the world and form a Super-Government. In place of modern rulers we will put a monster, which will be called a super-governmental administration. His hands will be stretched out in all directions, like pincers, with such a colossal organization that it cannot fail to conquer all nations. (...) It is necessary to ensure that, besides us, in all states there are only the masses of the proletariat, a few millionaires devoted to us, policemen and soldiers. ... We will ... entrust responsible positions in states ... to persons whose past and character are such that an abyss has opened between them and the people, to such people who, in case of disobedience to our instructions, can only wait for either trial or exile. This is so that they defend our interests until their last breath” (see Zion Protocols No. 5, 7, 8).

"Globalized" Globe, entangled in Masonic symbolism

As for Russia, the leading printed Masonic mouthpiece, the Parisian magazine Acacia, directly wrote in an editorial at the beginning of 1904: “The true policy of Western Europe should be to dismember this colossus before it becomes too dangerous. A possible revolution should be used to restore Poland as a protective wall of Europe, and the rest of Russia should be divided into three or four states” ((see Solovyov O.F. Freemasonry in world politics of the 20th century. M., 1998, p. 42) .
Briefly and clearly! Another important task of Freemasonry is the destruction of the Christian religion. Hence, among the highest degree Masons, the satanic cult of worship of Baphomet is secretly practiced - the incarnation of the devil in the form of a winged goat, on whose forehead the same red pentagram shines.

Very often, Satanists draw a pentagram with both ends up so that the devil’s head can be easily inscribed there (“Pentagram of Baphomet”).

Satanic pentagrams on Masonic symbols

By the way, the notorious authors of the communist anthem “The Internationale” - the poet E. Pothier and the composer P. Degeyter - were also Freemasons (which was always kept silent in the USSR). International Masonic lodges secretly provided the Bolsheviks with comprehensive support, especially financial (see Nikolaevsky B.I. Russian Masons and Revolution. M., 1990, pp. 66-67).

Red (just like the Bolsheviks) pentagram on Masonic signs

And the Marxist plans for the “world proletarian revolution” were clearly of Masonic origin, especially since a number of the most prominent Marxists (including some Bolshevik leaders) were members of Freemasonry. These included the “leader of the October Revolution” (as he was called in the communist press) L. Trotsky (Leiba Davidovich Bronstein). It was Trotsky who proposed making the Masonic pentagram the identifying emblem of Bolshevism.

Twin brothers. Masonic badge of 1917 and badge of a delegate of the 3rd Congress of the Comintern with the image of Lenin, 1921 (find the fundamental differences)

Let us note that the Bolsheviks often placed this pentagram on Red Army uniforms, military equipment, various signs and badges, and all sorts of attributes of visual propaganda in a purely satanic way: with two “horns” up.

Propaganda plate with the pentagram of Baphomet, in the center of which is the head of a security officer. Around the circumference there is a characteristic inscription: “Everywhere I see a conspiracy of the rich, seeking their own benefit under the name and pretext of good.”

The horned “pentagram of Baphomet” can also be seen on the military “Symbol of the World Socialist Revolution” established on September 16, 1918 (again at Trotsky’s suggestion) - the Order of the Red Banner of the RSFSR (and on similar orders of the same name of the Azerbaijan SSR and the Mongolian People’s Republic and the breastplate sign “Hero of the Revolutionary Movement”).

Similar satanic pentagrams adorned special award certificates awarded to distinguished security officers. Chairman of the Cheka Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky quite consciously and confidently wore a similar devilish star as a cockade on his service cap (see Rodina, 2007, No. 12, p. 7).

Let us add that the portrait of this “fiery revolutionary”, placed inside the “pentagram of Baphomet”, was the central part of the composition of the special Chekist order “Felix Dzerzhinsky” designed in 1932 (this project was rejected by Stalin, who deeply hated “Iron Felix”, whom “the leader of the peoples “rightly called an “active Trotskyist”). This is the truth about the true origin and real meaning of the Bolshevik emblems.

And the final deliverance from this Kabbalistic Masonic-Satanic symbolism (which, among other things, continues to desecrate the sacred towers of the Moscow Kremlin) seems to be an indispensable condition for the true national revival of Russia.

S. V. Naumov, historian

The second most important symbol of the army after the banner is the identification mark of the armed forces of the state. This is the most laconic and widespread symbol of the army. For the defenders of our Motherland during the Great Patriotic War, such a sign was a star. Continuing the conversation about the symbols of war - a story about the semantics of this sign and the history of its transformation into a symbol of our army

The second most important symbol of the army after the banner is the identification mark of the armed forces of the state. This is the most laconic and widespread symbol of the army. First of all, it is necessary in order to distinguish your fighters and equipment from the enemy at first glance and from afar. In addition, it is often used as the main element when designating military ranks, as well as on other insignia. It is present in all attributes of military uniforms, applied to weapons and documents, and depicted “as a keepsake” in a prominent place.

For the defenders of our Motherland during the Great Patriotic War, such a sign was a star. For fascists - a swastika (cross). The use of stars and crosses in marking attributes has an ancient heraldic and sacred tradition. First, let's turn to the star and the history of its appearance in Russian military symbols.

Part 2. Red star - sign of protection

From time immemorial, the stars of the night sky have attracted man's gaze and inspired his dreams. The dynamics of the constellations gave rise to a whole science, with the conclusions of which leaders and commanders of various nations coordinated their actions. The figure denoting a star began to be used by the ancient Sumerians three thousand years BC. It has also spread to many other cultures around the world. In 300-150 BC e. The five-pointed star (also called the “star of Solomon”) was considered the official emblem of Jerusalem. The five-pointed geometric figure was also known to the ancient Greeks - for them the pentagram (from the word pentagramos - five-line) was a protective and defensive sign (amulet), symbolizing the strength and fortitude of the spirit. That’s why it was used very widely, from minting coins to painting children’s cradles. The star served as an individual and collective amulet against disasters and external evil forces to the Babylonians and Druids, who drew a pentagram above the entrance to the house and above the windows. Sometimes it was also drawn on the ground in front of the house, always directing the end away from the door. By the way, let us remember that Doctor Faustus was guided by the same principle when he drew the five-pointed star of Solomon to block the path of Mephistopheles.

In Christian culture, the pentagram once symbolized the five wounds, or stigmata, of Christ, the five joys of the Virgin Mary, which the perfection of her son Jesus brought her. The Star of Bethlehem introduced into the symbolism of this sign features associated with indicating the source of salvation for all who follow it (in Russia the Star of Bethlehem was seven-pointed).

Secret societies of modern times, for example, the Freemasons, who, depending on the context, depicted a star with a different number of rays, also resorted to the ancient tradition of using the mystical sign. Thus, the five-rayed star meant the five wounds of the Savior and the five component parts of the human body, and also symbolized the struggle of the spirit with the darkness of matter and its victory over it. The six-rayed star personified the seal of King Solomon: six equal triangles signified the secret of the six-day creation of the world. In the language of Kabbalah, two triangles symbolize the dualistic nature of man, in which good fights evil, the spiritual principle with the physical (in particular, the triangle pointing upward symbolizes good deeds rising to heaven and causing a flow of grace). In ancient Hebrew (during the reign of King David), the name David consisted of three letters and was depicted as a triangle. King David used a six-pointed star as his signature. The six rays of the star symbolize for the Jews that God rules the world and protects them from all directions, above and below. According to legend, King David wore this symbol on his battle shield.

For a Muslim, a five-pointed star means the five pillars of Islam and the five daily prayers (in addition, in the Muslim world, not only a five-pointed star, but also an eight-pointed, seven-pointed and six-pointed star is used as a symbol).

Mars star

In state military symbols, the star was first used by soldiers of the French army - after the Great French Revolution, the heraldists of the republic, when choosing new symbols, turned to ancient mythology, where the five-pointed star symbolized the god of war, Mars. According to legend, he was born from a lily, the bud of which is a five-pointed star (the so-called “martagon lily”, i.e. the one that gave birth to Mars). Since then, the five-pointed star has been called the Star of Mars and has been “adopted” by the armies of many countries around the world.

In the Russian army, the star came on the wave of military reforms of Emperor Nicholas I - from January 1, 1827, forged five-pointed stars were introduced to designate ranks on general and officer epaulettes, and from April 29, 1854, already sewn stars appeared on the newly established shoulder straps.

The star also became a traditional element of the highest awards of the Russian Empire - these were the eight-pointed stars of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called, the Order of St. Catherine, the Order of St. Alexander Nevsky and others.

And in 1918, the star was introduced by the Soviet government as a distinctive emblem of the soldiers of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army. At the same time, golden symbols of a plow and a hammer were added to the center of the Star of Mars (and in some cases, as, for example, in the Order of the Red Banner, a bayonet was also added to them) - personifying the protection of peaceful labor. Moreover, in the first years of the atheistic power, the race was oriented not as it is now, with one end up, but, on the contrary, with two ends (this is exactly how it still looks on the same Order of the Red Banner). However, such a symbol caused significant hostility among the Red Army soldiers. Thus, at the conference of the 2nd Soviet (Ukrainian) Division, held on February 11, 1919, the head of its political department, I. I. Mints, noted that “peasant youth are full of prejudices against “communes”, against the new “cockade” - the Red Army star... ." The position, two rays upward, caused people to associate it with the satanic tradition of depicting a pentagram. Taking into account the sharply negative attitude of the Bolsheviks towards the Church, the star was soon recognized as a “sign of the Antichrist”. There is a version that the argument about the satanic origin of the star was an element of counter-revolutionary propaganda. As a result, the military department of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee issued a mass circulation of a special leaflet “Look, comrade, here is the Red Star,” where the symbolism of the revolutionary sign was explained in the form of “The Parable of Truth and Falsehood.” However, in the end, the overtly satanic orientation of the emblem was abandoned and the image of a star with one ray upward was officially approved (such a pentagram symbolizes a positive principle in magic). And after the return of pre-revolutionary shoulder straps to the Red Army in 1943, the star returned with them - for junior officers a small one made of gilded brass, for senior officers - a large one, for generals, marshals and admirals - large ones embroidered with gilded and silver threads. It is curious that, according to the order of the People's Commissar of Military Affairs of the Soviet Republic No. 321 of May 7, 1918, persons who were not members of the Red Army were categorically prohibited (up to and including being put on trial by a revolutionary tribunal) for the use of the star. There is also information that in the first years of Soviet power, Red Army soldiers were branded with a star on their left hand.

Victory Star

During the Great Patriotic War, a whole series of military awards appeared, dedicated to the star or based on this sign. In particular, the orders of Alexander Nevsky, Suvorov, Kutuzov, Ushakov, Nakhimov appeared, on which a five-pointed star acted as a background.

In 1943, after a radical turning point during the Great Patriotic War, the country's leadership had a need to establish a higher military order, to which particularly distinguished commanders could be nominated. Thus, the Order of Victory was established. It was awarded to the highest command staff of the Red Army for the successful conduct of military operations on the scale of several or one front, as a result of which the front-line situation changed in favor of the Red Army. The order had only 17 cavaliers, of which three were awarded twice, one was deprived of the award posthumously.

Medal "Gold Star"

The highest military award during the Great Patriotic War was the Gold Star medal and the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. 11,635 soldiers of the army and navy, partisans and underground fighters received this high rank. 115 people were awarded the title twice. Fighter pilots A.I. Pokryshkin, I.N. Kozhedub and Marshal of the Soviet Union G.K. Zhukov - four times. In total, during wartime there were over 8 thousand Heroes of the Soviet Union in the Ground Forces, over 2400 in the Air Force, over 500 in the Navy, about 400 partisans, underground fighters, intelligence officers, over 150 border guards. 87 women became Heroes of the Soviet Union, the first of which there was Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya.

Entire squads, crews, units and cities became heroes. The highest title of the Soviet country was awarded to more than 20 foreign citizens.

Order of Glory

In November 1943, the Order of Glory of three degrees was established, which became the Soviet analogue of the pre-revolutionary St. George Cross (the statutes of the orders were completely identical). It was awarded to privates, sergeants and junior officers.

In total, about a million badges of the Order of Glory of the 3rd degree were issued for distinction during the Great Patriotic War, more than 46 thousand - of the 2nd degree and 2631 - of the 1st degree.

Order of the Red Star

This is one of the first Soviet orders and the second military one in terms of approval. Initially, the order was worn on the left side of the chest, like the symbol of the Red Army during the civil war. Since 1943, like all orders attached to pins, it was moved to the right side of the chest. According to its Statute, the order was given for “outstanding activities contributing to the major success of troops in wartime, aimed at increasing the combat effectiveness of the Red Army and strengthening the defense capability of the USSR”

During the Great Patriotic War, the Order of the Red Star became one of the most widespread awards: more than 2 million people were awarded 2,860,000 orders. Together with the Order of the Patriotic War of both degrees, the Order of the Red Star constituted the so-called “officer set”: a set of awards available to junior officers - platoon and company commanders. The order was awarded to 1,740 units, formations and institutions of the Red Army and the rear, including 14 Czechoslovak and Polish units that fought on the territory of the USSR.

People have always paid attention to signs and symbols. The five-pointed red star, one ray of which is directed upward, thanks to the communists, became one of the main symbols of the USSR. And in a fairly short period it became one of the main symbols of totalitarian statehood. Let's find out how the red star became one of the main symbols of the USSR.

How did the story of the red Soviet star begin? After the Great October Revolution, not only the political system changed, but also many signs and attributes disappeared into oblivion. This is how a new system of symbolism began to take shape. Initially, the appearance of the star as a symbol is associated with Masonic societies. Since the influence of Freemasonry on revolutionary activities in different parts of the world (including the USSR) was truly significant. However, there is no real evidence for this fact.

On the territory of the USSR, the scarlet star appeared as the emblem of the Soviet Army. Unfortunately, today it is not possible to name the exact name of the author of the emblem. Thus, some historians suggest that it was first proposed for the army by N.A. Polyansky (commissar of the military Moscow district). Other historians associate the name of K.S. with the red star. Eremeevna (commander of the troops of the Petrograd district).

The official history of the emblem begins on April 18, 1918. It was then that a red five-pointed star with a gold border, which depicts a golden hammer and a plow, was appointed by order of the People's Commissariat for Military Affairs as a badge for all personnel of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army (RKKA). It became a distinctive sign that allowed people to be divided into “friends” and “strangers”. In this regard, an act was issued that prohibited people who were not serving in the Red Army from wearing the emblem. Violation of this rule was punishable by a tribunal.

The meaning of the red star. The Scarlet Star is a heraldic sign that is closely associated with both the Soviet army and directly with the USSR. This sign was depicted on the flag and coat of arms of the Soviet Union.

What is the significance of this key symbol of the USSR? It was believed that the star was a symbol that was supposed to unite the world proletariat. For example, the 5 ends of the star were associated with 5 continents on which communism spread. In addition, it is a symbol of safety and security. And the color red was associated with the proletarian revolution, it was the color of brotherhood and blood shed in the struggle for the rights of the proletariat.

Also, some scientists associate the scarlet star with the god of war Mars (an ancient Roman god), who was considered the protector and patron of workers. It is possible that some Soviet influential people were guided by this theory.

The depiction of such a symbol on the flags and coats of arms of socialist countries denoted the unity of ideologies and solidarity on the path of development. Many Soviet newspapers described that the red star characterizes the struggle of the peasantry, which was trying to free itself from poverty, hunger, war, and slavery.

Hammer and plow as a complement to the symbol. On the badge of the Soviet army, as described above, there were also images of a plow and a hammer. They also symbolize the union of workers and peasants. Later, the image was slightly modified: instead of a plow, a sickle was placed on the sign for clarity. But this did not change the meaning of the “ ” emblem.

It is also noteworthy that the star was originally depicted with two ends up. However, Soviet people associated this arrangement with the “satanic” pentagram. And this is in a country where they had a negative attitude. So, the star began to be depicted with one end up and two ends down. And the position of the star never changed again. On this occasion, a leaflet was even published in the USSR in large quantities with the title: “Look, comrade, here is the Red Star.”

Star and the Great Patriotic War. During the Second World War, this Soviet emblem began to acquire new qualities. In 1943, stars returned to the army along with pre-revolutionary shoulder straps, which helped distinguish the ranks of officers. In addition, at the same time, the red star was taken as the basis in many orders and medals (for example, the Gold Star medal, Order of Glory, Order of the Red Star).

One way or another, the star is considered an ancient symbol that has been and is used in various traditions. This probably ensured the iconic role of this sign in Soviet society.
