We are quite familiar with the USA flag and its pole, but does anyone know if the USSR got around to designing a flagpole for their moon landing? I have seen photos of the Krechet suit in training so I presume they intended to mark the event with a flag ceremony of some kind. The Russians take such a pragmatic approach to engineering so I would love to see their solution to the problem of planting a flag on the moon. Any thoughts?
