The deputy chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev held negotiations in Beijing with the chairman of China Xi Jinping, and also transferred a message from the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin.
On the photos and video frames common on the network, you can see that next to the flag of the PRC there was a flag similar to the banner of the Soviet Union. Some users considered that the Russian delegation for a reason performed in Beijing under the flag of the USSR. “Medvedev’s trip to China. Judging by the flags, the meeting of the USSR and China. An interesting situation,” one of them wrote.
Later it turned out that the “flag of the USSR” turned out to be the flag of the Communist Party of China. It is very similar to the Soviet banner, but is characterized by the proportions of a sickle and hammer.
