Coat of Arms Question

[Hamr Mark]

Question:
Does the Russian coat of arms (the 2 headed eagle) represent the Ukraine as well? I know a fellow Uke who has it tattooed, and I asked him about all the bad things that the Russians did to the Ukrainian people, and he had no answer. So what's the concenous here? Can Ukrainians wear this symbol proudly, or is it a slap in the face for all the suffering that past generations have gone through from our neighbours. Thanks for helping me out on this one.

from wiki:

Under the first tsar of the Romanov dynasty, Mikhail Feodorovich, the image of the coat of arms changed. In 1625 the double-headed eagle was adorned with three crowns for the first time. Through time, the latter have alternatively been interpreted at the conquered kingdoms of Kazan, Astrakhan and Siberia, or as the unity of 'All the Russias' - Grand Russia (Russia), Little Russia (today's Ukraine) and White Russia (Belarus).

Also, it was the symbol of the russian empire, of which much of Ukraine was part of (via Bohdan Khmelnytsky)
