I have to agree with Tarso as well. It doesn't really matter what you say it means, it's what people think of when they look at it. Right now, people think of the Soviet Union, which isn't exactly remembered fondly, to put it mildly.

I just feel like pointing out that the difference between the swastika and the soviet symbol is that the swastika is an actual symbol in several east Asian religions (Buddhism and Hinduism, for example). Its still not widely accepted in the western world and is even outright banned in many places, but it can still be seen in eastern Asia a lot where it keeps its original meaning. Meanwhile, the soviet symbol doesn't have any other meaning. When you look at it, you only have one thing you can think about, and its the Soviet Union.

Also, you're not exactly helping your case by naming the image "Soviet_Alliance.jpg".
