Without going into a full-blown history lesson, these emblems are just an expression of nostalgia that Russians and former Soviets have for an era that is gone - now glorified and idealized, like with most things of the past.

Anyways, i'm definitely getting that outfit, and intend to wear it proudly here in Israel, on roads built with money that the the government and the capitalist bourgeoisie stole from the proletariat, while exploiting its sweat and blood to glorify itself and satisfy its blood-thirsty greed for the American $$$!!!
US $ = Isreal existence = pissed off middle east = war = US $ Isn't this ironic?
