The advantage being that, when you enlage a BMP or JPEG file, the edges become jagged and distorted, because the pixels have also been scaled up. A vector graphic, on the other hand, will keep its smooth edges, no matter how large or small you make the image (within reason, of course).
Inkscape is sort of like Photoshop because you have 'layers', but each layer is an individual shape or group of shapes. For example, in this, each part of the bird, wings, head, and talons, are a different shape.
And I was thinking that the stars are more symbolic, rather than a literal representation of the constituent states/soviets.
