Whilst reading this post I can see the banner graphic at the top. It is the procession that was to take place in the Last City to celebrate our victories in D1. The flag and banners are very Eurasian in stlying and also the presence of bouquets being carried, very Russian. Imagine most people in he Last City would be Eurasian due to where it is supposed to be (modern day Nepal). So in this respect it is just acknowledging customs that exist in other parts of the world. Western or not. This is what I love about the game tbh. This implies current history was the same till the Traveller arrived then the What if future time line started. The Cosmodrome we explore would probably be a golden age era installation though. There are Northern Lights at night so it has to be far up in Russia itself. IMHO.
