they tend to not notice such things.Hey hey hey! Don't criticize them so much! It's not like they've had years of development, only to reverse right back to a pre-conclave DLC version of CK2! At least we have India, Africa, the Steppes and the Norse at start, and they totally feel unique all of them. the march was on a state holiday commemorating the birthday of one Stefan Bandera, who was an officer of Nazi Waffen SS, organization condemned criminal on the Nuremberg trials, and directly responsible for Volhynia massacre, Lviv massacre and others. the march was state sanctioned and state supported. people were carrying these tridents, portraits of Nazi criminals, chanting "hang all Russians" and Nazi salutes, which i can not quote without breaking the forum rules.
for example, just a week ago there was a march with torches in Kiev, like one of those German Nazi did in 1930s. The problem is modern Ukraine adopted exactly the Nazi symbol exactly because it was Nazi. why not use archaic black and white diving hawk? why this XIX century Nazi related symbol? how is it relevant here? ok, let's assume Paradox wanted an older symbol, unfounded it may be. while Wendish Empire or Volga-Ural never existed. Yes, Russian Empire was formed much later. being a Paradox fan, i see Paradox's participation in such dirty political games highly disappointing. why use this highly insulting and historically inaccurate symbol now? it very much looks like a part of recent anti-Russian hysteria.
Paradox was using mostly historically accurate and not Nazi related symbols for Russia for 7 years. there never was a Russian empire that used diving hawk in any form as its seal.
his seal was 2 headed eagle, which was used as Russian imperial seal since him till XX century. for example, Ivan IV was a Rurikid and the first Tsar. that aside, the Rurikid seal was never used by Russian Emperors/Tsars even those of Rurikid blood. true, some of the Rurikid grand princes of ancient Rus' states (which were many), sometimes used the Rurikid seal, however it was black and white, not Nazi blue and yellow, and in archaic diving hawk design, from which it derived, not XIX century design Paradox offers, which later was used by the Nazi. The latest update in CKII changed the coat of arms of Russian Empire and Ruthenia Kingdom (which never existed historically btw) to the Nazi variant of the Rurikid seal.
