Interesting discussion about the swastika symbol.
Also - an obscure fact, but swastikas were one of the symbols of the new Soviet state shortly after the 1917 October revolution! Evidence of this can be seen, as swastikas were used on the first paper money of the Soviet Russia.
I'll post some scans of the Soviet banknotes with the swastikas if I can find one in my archive (I think that was denomination of 10,000 rubles). The design was introduced in 1918, the notes were in the circulation for short time and were later discontinued.
