Disguisting. I wonder Uncle Joe made an appearance. I wonder what the athletes from the former Warsaw Pact countries and countries that Stalin swallowed up, for example the Baltic states, thought when they saw they.

Appears the hammer is towards the top of the pic. It’s what the chain holding the sickle is attached to.

When ever you see the Hammer and Sickle beware of the Shackles and Chains to follow.

no they skipped that....that said the soviet portion had an odd theme....first hipsters then lovers and then wedding were described in english on the stadium floor....I did not know what to make of it. They used some soviet era cars to show the hipsters getting together as well.
