Description

1991. Soviet Union collapses.

"-- the People’s Republic of China openly competed against the USSR for the leadership of the international Communist movement --"
~1965?

So, the idea behind this photo is that when the Soviet Union collapsed, China "won" the leadership battle, thus holding both of the flags. Their relationship had improved in the late 1980's, though, but anyway.
Or, if you want to think it in a friendlier way: Yao carries on with Ivan's legacy. Though I've heard that China isn't all that communistic anymore.

I don't know much about the history of these two countries, so feel free to note if I'm wrong. It's pretty much Wikipedia all the way, especially with China. '-' Anyone willing to recommend any books about China's/Soviet Union's/Russia's history? :D

Also, even though many of the (successful) pics we took are kinda serious and interpret history, please don't be offended by them as we don't mean to offend anyone. We just like history, even if we don't know much about this subject. ^^

I might post a flagless pic tomorrow! :O_o: We posed with them a lot. I guess posing is easier with them...

Very cute
很可爱.
I really like this series of pictures you girls did
And yes China isn't really Communist (nor did we ever claim that we successfully implemented communism, it was always on the socialist road to communism), We been walking on socialist path with Chinese characteristics 有中国特色的社会主义道路 (aka.....capitalism) since the 1980s. As we are now the largest CINO (Communist in name only) country left, so easy target for western media to just label us Red China/Commies etc.
