Why those emblems should be taken down, I have no idea. Would a properly Western-formatted mind explain that to me ?

Symbol of a totalitarian state and ideology.  Then again, given the fact of how attached a part of this country is to the Confederate flag, we shouldn't complain too much.

That's only a part of what they represent. You may choose to discard the rest, but that's awfully hard to do in a room full of middle-aged russians...

Well, you asked, I answered. And given that the hammer and sickle is also a symbol of the struggle against Nazi Germany for Russians, and post Stalinist communism was nowhere near as bad a system as the antebellum South, I do give them somewhat more of a pass than I do the TiDoS folks.
