Maybe try something more semantically meaningful? "Soviet realism" looks pretty good (no seals):

This website likely uses a semantic vector space like CLIP or BERT space. Which is based on co-occurrence of words, it doesn't have a harder logic behind it. Soviets probably had cylinders in some machinery which is why it pulled.
