Hello comrades and welcome to the third improvement megathread of June! bonfire There is one more full week left to finish the month strong.

Some discussion ideas:

  • How was your week?
  • Do you have some plans or goals for next week?
  • Do you have any sober days or streaks?
Poster caption

“The Red Army is bringing liberation to the oppressed of the whole world”.

This poster was issued in 1919 and it contains two emblems of the Soviet Union in use during that period.

The emblem of the hammer and plow (visible in the small red star at lower right) is the earliest Soviet emblem. It was first used in April 1918 as a badge for the Red Army. The hammer and sickle (visible on the flag) was officially recognized in July 1918 when the Congress of Soviets approved it as the state seal.

Not seen on this poster is the crest of the Soviet Union (a hammer and sickle, globe and two shafts of wheat with banners of the Soviet republics). The crest was approved in 1923.

Good luck with your goals! feral-hog
