I was assuming he was smiling with some inner scandinavian joke like 'Tehe, I left the gas on' or something. :)

In one of his pre-1917 exiles, Trotsky spent some time in NYC and lived in an industrial neighborhood. He was in awe that American factory workers had electricity, central heating, garbage collection... He rented an apartment there and then he left without paying his rent... To stick it to those capitalist swine! :)

latvians and lithuanians have still a lot of really ancient symbols, my wife has replica shield ring with protective swastikas and earrings too

 

my son has one of these hanging from his window - as cultural heritage sign, like some wear crosses

In flags it's actually black, since the flag itself is blue:

It's constant source of amusing outrage in, shall we say, more progressive countries :) couple of years ago a Swedish hockey coach shared picture of this plane in Facebook and was fired due to "promoting intolerant ideologies" or something like that.

No, it was curious to me symbols are so close to one of Finland.

And it was quite popular at that time - for example here is Rus "Temporary Gov" money

 

Actually indicating how populist was Nazi movement - it is like having "Facebook F" as official symbol nowdays.
