Why the Phoenix?

Many of you may wonder why the image of the Phoenix. Little known by most foreigners and even many Russians, the bear was not always the symbol of Russia and was actually originally more of a slight or propaganda against Russia. Russians were shown as the barbaric bear to be tamed by European civilizations. With time many Russians also came to associate Russian symbols with the bear, especially after the arrival of the Soviet Union removed the two headed imperial eagle.




But one of the oldest symbols of Russia was the phoenix. It represented the ability of the Rus to also be reborn from immanent collapse, to return stronger and wiser then before. If one studies Russian history of the past 1.500 years, this is obviously the case many many times over.
