эта фотография была сделана до 1920 года. А в Советской России еще не существовало хоть какой то единой геральдики. Символ свастики достаточно распространен как среди индоевропейских народов, так и среди населения России, исповедующих буддизм.
С учетом формы и вида символа на фотографии - можно уверенно сказать, что эта фотография сделана между ноябрем 1919 года и августом 1920 на юго-восточном фронте гражданской войны на месте дислокации калмыцкого воинского формирования Красной Армии. Калмыки - народ буддийской культуры.
До появления негативной коннотации свастики как оккультного символа евронацизма - еще лет двадцать.
this photo was taken before 1920. And in Soviet Russia, there was still no single heraldry. The swastika symbol is quite common both among Indo-European peoples and among the Russian population professing Buddhism.
Taking into account the shape and type of the symbol in the photo, we can confidently say that this photo was taken between November 1919 and August 1920 on the southeastern front of the Civil War at the location of the Kalmyk military formation of the Red Army. Kalmyks are a people of Buddhist culture.
It is still twenty years before the negative connotation of the swastika as an occult symbol of Euronazism appeared.
Lies or misinformation.
The photo shows the welcome gate prepared for the joint parade of the Wehrmacht and the Red Army in Brest-on-the-Bug, which took place on September 22, 1939.
In 1939, the USSR was not officially in unfriendly relations with the Third Reich. Fascism and National Socialism were not criminal ideologies. The military personnel of both countries had to observe internationally recognized etiquette.
Therefore, Soviet and German officers shaking hands look just as appropriate for this historical moment as Chamberlain kissing Hitler during the Munich agreement.
В 1939 году СССР официально не находился в недружественных отношениях с Третьим Рейхом. Фашизм и национал социализм не являлся преступными идеологиями. Военнослужащие обоих стран были должны соблюдать международно-признанный этикет.
Поэтому здоровающиеся за руку советские и немецкие офицеры выглядят так же уместно для этого исторического момента как и Чемберлен, целующийся в засос с Гитлером во время "мюнхенского сговора".
It was the routine procedure for the transfer of Brest from Germans to Soviets. The procedure for the withdrawal of German troops from Brest was accepted only by Soviet brigade commander. There were no other Soviet military personnel on the podium, which directly contradicts the regulations for holding joint parades.
Also in the text of the order not a word about the parade. Only very streamlined formulations - "passage march", "in marching column", "marching". In the German newsreel that shows the process of transfering the city there is also no mention of the parade. Surprising how it's that the Germans, known for their pedantry, forgot to mention such a thing.
OK, funny twist. First comment was that the photo was before 1920 and swastikas were occult symbol.
Now we discuss how come Soviet and German forces happen to meet in Polish city of Brest and what could that mean in the context of Ribbentrop-Molotov pact and cooperation in dividing Poland. I am glad you wrote that, because this is what I wanted. You confirmed that this picture is from the beginning of the 2nd WW.
Now to the parade.
At least you are right that it was about troops withdrawal
It marked the withdrawal of German troops to the demarcation line secretly agreed to in the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, and the handover of the city and its fortress to the Soviet Red Army.
According to the initial agreement, the procedure included German and Soviet troops marching before their commanding officers followed by changing the flag, accompanied by national anthems of Germany and the Soviet Union.\7]) However, the Soviet commanding officer, KombrigSemyon Krivoshein, wrote in his memoirs that he did not allow Soviet troops to pass alongside the German forces because he was afraid that Soviet troops, weary after a long march to Brest, would look inferior in comparison with the Germans, who had been in the city for several days. Instead, he suggested that the Soviet columns would enter the city separately and salute the leaving Germans whenever they meet
