The hammer symbolizes urban industrial workers while the sickle symbolizes agricultural workers (peasants) who together, as the Proletarian class, form the state.

Have a great day!

Answer:

Hammer (union of worker) and Sickle (victorious and permanent revolutionary alliance).

Step-by-step explanation:

The state flag of the USSR remained the national flag of the Soviet Union in the years between 1922-1991. The hammer and sickle on the flag of the Soviet Union represent the "union of workers" and the victorious and permanent revolutionary alliance respectively. The first flag was raised in December 1922. In the year 1955, a law on the flag was accepted to change the length of the handle of hammer and shape of a sickle.
