Is there any proof of Russia ever doing this?
There isn't, anti-communists just seethe at the flag.
I've seen some individual Russian soldiers wearing Soviet symbols if that counts. I've definitely seen Russian tanks with the hammer and sickle on them, but who knows how common that is or what the individual soldiers involved are trying to say. I also saw a video years ago of some Ukrainian soldiers ripping a Soviet flag down from an old lady's front lawn. She said something like "my parents fought for that flag."
Also I don't speak Russian or Ukrainian, and this entire war was been rife with misinformation, so who knows. I doubt the Russian chief staff of the army is commanding the display of Soviet flags though.
