Did anyone notice that the integrity symbol with the two headed bird is the same as the coat of arms of russia? Why?

I will venture a guess and say that it might be some sort of interest (russian history, perhaps). I never noticed the coat of arms thing, but someone else mentioned that leo tolstoy is russian, and the old mutiny perseverance graphic was "loosely based" on a russian propaganda poster that was created to usher change.

Usher...who likes that guy? Anyone?? Anyone?? Bueller??

The middle part of the crest is different. IE: Not the same as Russia. But considering what Esnow said, it's possibly some type of tribute.

Was Tolstoy a socialist/communist?

He was kind of a modern day philosopher. (Modern day meaning.. late 1800s I believe.)

kento911, did I miss something? What does Ferris Bueller have to do with this?

My post got deleted, which may have made it a little more obvious... The whole 'Bueller... Bueller...' thing in Electricsnow's post.

Im still trying to figure out what the hell the russian writing on the nose of my integrity means - if anyone by chance knows russian, WHAT DOES IT SAY?

The Russian text on the nose of the Tolstoy model loosely translates to tselostnost, which is something like wholeness, completion, or fulfillment. A buddy in my office goes over to Russia sometimes to pull young Svetlanas.
