Soviet Union (USSR) (Socialism) (Communism) House Flag

This design features the national flag of the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), otherwise known as the Soviet Union, which was a federal socialist state in Northern Eurasia that existed from 1922 to 1991. The flag features a golden hammer and sickle (which serve to symbolize the enduring alliance of the working class and the peasantry) on top of a red background. The Soviet Union had its roots in the October Revolution of 1917, when the Bolsheviks, headed by Vladimir Lenin, overthrew the Provisional Government that had earlier replaced the monarchy. They established the Russian Soviet Republic, beginning a civil war between the Bolshevik Red Army and many anti-Bolshevik forces across the former Empire, among whom the largest faction was the White Guard. The USSR produced many significant social and technological achievements and innovations of the 20th century, including the world's first ministry of health, first human-made satellite, the first humans in space and the first probe to land on another planet, Venus. At the time, the country had the world's second-largest economy and the largest standing military in the world. This design would make a perfect gift for yourself, friends, history lovers or political radicals.
