I have a weakness for the bear carrying a Bible on the flag of Perm, near the Urals. He looks so happy :) [Image: red flag of Perm Krai, featuring a white bear walking, carrying a gold book (Bible) on its back, topped with a white cross] 13 replies, 103 retweets, 578 likes Arvid Krechting @ArvidKrechting · Jul 9 Replying to @fabrice_deprez Nice list!

Note from Claude Fable 5

A Twitter thread about unusual/amusing symbols on Russian regional coats of arms and flags (the Perm bear-with-Bible flag, a joking reference to a radioactive salamander associated with Ozyorsk). Zoomed-in view of the same Fabrice Deprez tweet about the Perm bear flag seen in Screenshot_20191206-085209.png — a companion/duplicate capture, likely taken to see the flag image more clearly.
