The hammer and sickle symbol used in the article comes from the flag of the naval ensign, which is obvious to anyone looking at it; the state flag did not make use of a red hammer and sickle, but the naval ensign did. Therefore, this is the version that should be used; anyone who might have any objection to that is also the one who should make a discussion of it before changing it. This, you see, was the original version used until some users recently started changing the description. Thank you for understanding.

The point
In regards to the WW2 edit, I believed it was grammatically-incorrect. Was I wrong? Apologies if so.

- Youngjtdyt, you don't need to use a hyphen in unambiguous word combinations, a space is enough. As MOS:HYPHEN states, Avoid using a hyphen after a standard -ly adverb (a newly available home, a wholly owned subsidiary) unless part of a larger compound (a slowly-but-surely strategy).

Thanks for the info! I truly appreciate it. Keep up the good work.
