Victory Banner Over the Reichstag
In one of the most iconic images from World War II, a Russian
soldier raises a red flag atop the ruins of the German Reichstag on
April 30, 1945. Known as the Victory Banner, this piece of fabric
has come to symbolize Russian triumph, glory, and patriotism.
Facsimiles are used in public celebrations all over the country,
and an exact replica is the centerpiece in the annual Victory
Parade in Moscow's Red Square. The Victory Banner Over the
Reichstag examines how and why this symbol was created, the
changing media of its expression, and the contested evolution of
its message. From association with Stalinism and communism to its
acquisition of Russian nationalist meaning, Jeremy Hicks
demonstrates how this symbol was used to construct a collective
Russian memory of the war. He traces how the Soviets, and then
Vladimir Putin, have used this image and the banner itself to build
a remarkably powerful mythology of Russian greatness.

The Coats of Arms and Other Forms of State Emblem Proposed for the Republic of Macedonia, and the Process of Their Adoption, 1992–2014
Selecting national emblems is crucial for the development of a national identity. This paper presents all official proposals for the coat of arms of the Republic of Macedonia, starting in 1992, with the proposals of the public competition for the selection of the coat of arms, flag, and anthem of the Republic of Macedonia, and finishing with the last Government proposal in 2014. All of the proposals are categorized according to their main symbol, a sun or a lion. The long and complex process of creating national symbols shows that there is a deep division regarding which one to use.
