105 years ago today, the Hammer and Sickle emblem was created.
Thanks for reminding us, @red_termos1917. I’ve translated their original post into English:
“On April 25, 1918, the artist Yevgeny Ivanovich Kamzolkin first created the emblem "HAMMER AND SICKLE" The idea of a crossed hammer and sickle, their arrangement came to the artist of the Zamoskvoretsky Theater of the Council of Workers' and Peasants' Deputies E. I. Kamzolkin, when in April 1918 he worked on the design for the May Day holiday. The crossed sickle and hammer symbolically symbolized the unity of workers and peasants in their peaceful creative work. Together with the red star, the hammer and sickle appeared on the flag and coat of arms of the USSR in 1923, and in 1924 the symbol was written into the Constitution of the USSR. The hammer and sickle was also placed on the flags and emblems of the Soviet republics.”

Друзья, товарищи, братья и сестры! Завтра самый радостный праздник — 1 мая — праздник трудящихся.
Ни один другой день в календаре не заслуживает большего уважения, потому что это НАШ праздник — праздник, общий для всех стран.
Это также день, который напоминает нам: где бы мы ни жили, нас всех угнетает и эксплуатирует один и тот же враг — класс капиталистов.
Мы должны помнить, что именно класс капиталистов заставляет наших друзей умирать на чужой земле, защищая прибыли корпораций. Эти подонки урезают зарплату у наших братьев; они отравляют наши семьи токсичными продуктами; их желание сэкономить приводит к техногенным катастрофам — рушатся мосты, загрязняется вода.
Мы должны помнить, что нам, трудящимся, не принадлежат страны, где мы живём — у нас нет родины. Мы рождаемся с уже вытатуированным штрих-кодом, который определяет, на какое правительство мы будем работать и за кого будем умирать.
Мы должны помнить, что не может быть мира, пока рабочие не станут классово сознательными и организованными. Только тогда мы сможем принудить нынешних "хозяев жизни" к миру. Только тогда мы сможем положить конец кровопролитным войнам.
"Нашим лозунгом должно быть: вооружение пролетариата для того, чтобы победить, экспроприировать и обезоружить буржуазию. Это — единственно возможная тактика революционного класса, тактика, вытекающая из всего объективного развития капиталистического милитаризма, предписываемая этим развитием. Лишь после того, как пролетариат обезоружит буржуазию, он может, не изменяя своей всемирно-исторической задаче, выбросить на слом всякое вообще оружие, и пролетариат, несомненно, сделает это, но только тогда, никоим образом не раньше.
Русская революция доказала, что всякий успех, хотя бы даже и частичный успех революционного движения, — например, завоевание известного города, известного фабричного поселка, известной части армии, — неизбежно заставит победивший пролетариат осуществить именно такую программу".

Friends, comrades, family! Tomorrow is the most joyful holiday: May 1. The holiday of the workers.
No other day on the calendar deserves more respect because it OUR holiday. A holiday shared between all countries.
It is also a day to remember that no matter where we live, we are all oppressed and exploited by the same enemy: the capitalist class.
We must remember it is the capitalist class that forces our friends to die on foreign soil defending corporate profits. These leaches steal our brothers' wages; they poison our families with toxic products; they embezzle money, causing water pollution and collapsing infrastructure.
We must remember that we workers do not own our countries - we don't have a homeland. We are born and immediately tattooed with a bar code that determines which government we will work for and die for.
We must remember there can be no peace until the workers are class-conscious and organized. Only then can we force peace on the barons. Only then can we put an end to their murderous wars.
"Our slogan must be: arming of the proletariat to defeat, expropriate and disarm the bourgeoisie. These are the only tactics possible for a revolutionary class, tactics that follow logically from, and are dictated by, the whole objective development of capitalist militarism. Only after the proletariat has disarmed the bourgeoisie will it be able, without betraying its world-historic mission, to consign all armaments to the scrap heap. And the proletariat will undoubtedly do this, but only when this condition has been fulfilled, certainly not before...
...The Russian revolution showed that every success of the revolutionary movement, even a partial success like the seizure of a certain city, a certain factory town, or winning over a certain section of the army, inevitably compels the victorious proletariat..." - Lenin - The Military Programme of the Proletarian Revolution
