The rebel advance reversed the course of Syria's 13-year civil war, eliminating a stronghold that had allowed Iran and Russia to exert influence in the Arab world. In a symbolic gesture, a Syrian rebel flag was displayed outside the Syrian consulate in St. Petersburg, though the identity of those responsible for this act remains unknown.
