Significance of the Double-headed Eagle
The eagle has been used in symbolism since ancient times, due to
its nature as a powerful animal. There are many theories about why the
eagle has two heads, and in some civilisations, it was seen as a sign
dominance, or control of both the East and the West.
One of the most common interpretations of the two-headed eagle, is
of a mythical creature representing Power and Protection.
As
the official Russian emblem, such a meaning would be highly
appropriate in its role as a symbol of nationalistic pride and unity.

Russia is no different:
