1935 The decision to change the emblems on the Kremlin towers
80 years ago, on August 23, 1935, the Politburo of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks adopted a resolution to replace the double-headed eagles on the Kremlin towers with five-pointed stars with a hammer and sickle. It was ordered to remove the eagles from the Spasskaya, Nikolskaya, Borovitskaya and Troitskaya towers, as well as from two towers of the Historical Museum.
