In July 2005 I was in Helsinki -I'm not even sure why, when I spotted a seagull on top the Russian imperial two headed eagle at Kauppatori. Helsinki is full of signs of the Russian rule, now over for nearly 96 years and what would be a better way of winking towards the past and laugh a bit at the Imperial pomposity.
And I do think that the Seagull looks more majestic than the slightly suffering eagle...
