Today 1918, the hammer and sickle emblem was created - one of the main symbols of the USSR and the Communist movement. It’s creator Yevgeny Kamzolkin, said of its creation, “I decided to experiment with a number of different options, before deciding upon the peasants being…represented by a sickle and the workers by the hammer. I made a number of sketches experimenting with arrangement and decided that the most powerful expression was a sickle crossed over a hammer. It seemed to me that such an arrangement, was profound with revolutionary meaning.”
