gde seri i molot, yest smert i golod = where there is sickle and hammer, there is death and famine

The grim reaper was inspired by the Black Death in western Europe. In that time, the plague was mowing down people like a farmer at harvest.
In this, the Soviet propagandists were great fools ignorant of foreign cultures. In Western Europe and North America, the sickle is a symbol of mass death.
