# Bear

🏷 Slavic pun · symbol — by Gerry · May 2021 · 192 words

The Russian name Medvedev means “bear” and is popular among spooks. The bear is also a prominent symbol in Russian heraldics, and replaced the earlier double-headed eagle. As usual, the explanation is a pun: Slavic med-ved for “honey-eater” aka “bear” puns with med-vedat for “coins dealer” aka “banker”! Sadly, it seems that imperial Russia has always been ruled by spook banksters, just like the Southern & Western empires whose phoenix, lion and unicorn symbols are also spooky-speak for “banking”.
