Are you OK dude; its a wolf from the animated movie of cats in boots he carries a sickle blade that breaks into two sickles I have no idea what sickles have to do with Russia specifically other than sickles being common in eastern Europe (and everywhere else)
That icon was in use for 80 years, and Putin is bringing it back. You’d have to be pretty young or not know any world history to not know about it.
Maybe memes are fun if we’re all in on the joke, but for a wider audience - especially in these times, with tankies, krems and the like pushing their own memes - a bit more awareness wouldn’t be bad.
I’m well aware, I’m from a post-soviet country. But just because hammer and a sickle was a thing used in soviet union doesn’t mean its “Russian”. Soviet Union wasn’t just Russia plus communists from other regions of the world still use the iconography.
Either way the sickle has nothing to do with Russia, sickles have been a farming tool for thousands of years within European continent.
C’mon. The dog is carrying a Russian sickle. That’s pretty on the nose.
