In the text on page 1038, there is a picture of a Russian Soldier holding a Soviet flag. The Russian soldier is standing in front of the Russian Parliament, as he is celebrating the victory by Bors Yeltsin. This image stuck out to me for the fact that there is a hole in the soviet flag and the soldier is sticking two fingers through the hole with his fingers in the formation of a peace sign. To some people this action may occur to them as being cocky or disrespectful, but I think it is rather clever and unique way to show the soldiers happiness. One of the main reasons why I don't find this picture disrespectful is because it is a soldier who is making the sign of peace which means he helped in leading his country to victory.
