The Hammer and Sickle was the symbol of the Soviet Union.
Licensing
This image is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain, because it consists entirely of information that is common property and contains no original authorship.
(However, in the Hammer and Sickle article it has the text "The symbol as it appeared on the Soviet flag" below it, so I think it'd be better if the symbol was shown as it indeed appeared in said flag)
