The Soviet roundel was originally going to be a red star, as is customary with socialist nations, but the sheer ubiquity of the red star design convinced the Soviet leadership to look for something different. The red rose has been part of socialist iconography since the 19th century, and was quickly adopted as the Soviet Air Force official roundel due to its easily-recognizable shape and non-violent origins. Since the reorganization of the VVS into the Sozvezdie Soviet, the roundel has become the official seal of the faction, appearing on papers, plaques and medals in place of the red star.
