Theories:

Most Bible scholars agree the bear is the modern national symbol for Russia. Russia was reborn in 1991, with the removal of the Berlin wall. [Source]🕊️

One theory is that the three ribs symbolize the Yalta Conference of 1945, when Joseph Stalin (Czar of Russia), met with Winston Churchill (Prime Minister of Britain), and Franklin D. Roosevelt (President of the United States). That day, Roosevelt's assistant, Alger Hiss, drafted the charter for the United Nations. Hiss would later be convicted of being a Communist Russian spy, an agent for Stalin. Russian had recently gained control of Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Albania and East Germany, and with the formation of the U.N., essentially devoured the whole world - although this prophecy may not be fully fulfilled yet.

In the eastern parts of the continent, the Russian Tsardom, and ultimately the Empire (1547–1917), declared Moscow to be Third Rome and inheritor of the Eastern tradition after the fall of Constantinople in 1453. [Source] 🕊️
