The bird has the hammer and sickle, the symbol of the joint partnership of the industrial proletariat and the agrarian peasantry, the symbol of Marxism-Leninism. The hammer and sickle was created in the RSFSR, the first socialist state in history. Using any one person as symbol for the working class movement, and not symbols of the working classes themselves, is akin to liberal Great Man Theory.
