THE TSARS
LAST EMBLEMS GO History has been repeating itself at Moscow, where, having survived the Tsar for 18 years, the royal emblems (the Russian eagles, crown, orb, and sceptre) have at last been removed, and their place taken by gold-plated stars symbolising Soviet rule. The change would have been made long ago but for the fact that it was thought the towers on which the emblems were fixed were unsafe for tlie workmen, who would have to scale 250 feet. Now that the work has been carried out there remains no sign that the Romanoffs ruled in the ancient Russian capital.
