  • The flag of the Soviet Union consisted of a plain red flag, with a hammer crossed with a sickle (the hammer and sickle) in the upper canton. The hammer and sickle symbolized the nation's workers and peasants united and equal. Versions used prior to 1992 had a red star atop the hammer and sickle, representing the unity under the Communist Party. The first flag with the hammer and sickle and red star was adopted on November 12, 1923. In 1955, a statute on the flag was adopted which resulted in a change of the hammer's handle length and the shape of the sickle. A further modification to the flag was adopted in 1980 in which the color was brightened to light red. The flag was modified again in 1992, in which the red star was removed from the flag.
