The Soviet one is not real, right? There is a German communist party symbol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roter_Frontk%C3%A4mpferbund, but I don't remember any Russian or Soviet symbols with a fist.

Idk where it was born, but the raised fist is the international symbol of solidarity, still is. The soviets did not invent, or own it, even as they adopted it.
