The Russian Naval Jack has a puzzling similarity to the American Confederacy flag. Coincidence?

Our Finnish flag is based on the Russian blue-white naval flag. First representative flags used by Finnish yacht clubs and sea traders used the same symbolism to show loyalty to the Tsar's military while doing foreign sea trade or participating in international boat races. After gaining independence, we used a red flag with a lion coat of arms in the centre, but after the bloody civil war between pro-western whites (ironically lead by tsarist loyalists like Mannerheim) and the pro-Soviet reds, the red flag was scrapped, and the flag that represented antagonism against the communist Russia was chosen due to it's history of use and Christian meaning in addition to national romantic explanations of the white being snow, blue lake water etc.

(chernozem is fertile land or arable land) Russia has always had a leading position in world agriculture The light blue in the flag of Russia in 1991 was used as the flag of the democratic forces, namely Boris Yeltsin. indeed, this color is from the Soviet-Russian-republic. The dark blue flag finally became the state flag along with the new anthem of 2000 under Vladimir Putin . The official interpretation of dark blue is computer color. (however, dark blue has been used as the flag of the President of the Russian Federation since 1993)

Флаг 1914го года (кажется, он назывался "флаг единения царя с народом") не был официальным флагом. Царская администрация предлагала использовать его на патриотических митингах, праздниках и в гражданском быту. Официальным оставался классический триколор. Кстати, сейчас он становится более популярным среди русских умеренных националистов. "Ельцинский" бело-лазарево-алый никогда не существовал. В те года не были установлены определенные номера за цветами полос флага и разные производства делали флаг каких угодно оттенков красного и синего. А спустя лет 20 кто-то закинул на Вики информацию, что лазарево-алый был якобы официальным и пошло-поехало.

The 1991 Russia flag wasn't actually a light blue, it's just a misinterpretation of the government explanation of the new flag. The "changing" of the shade was actually just a clarification of the shade of blue that they originally meant

@dmitrypechenkov7115 3 ай бұрын

But in fact, the color of the flag was different until 1993. For example, in the Resolution of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR dated August 22, 1991 No. 1627/I-I, it was stated that the color of the flag is white-light blue-scarlet. In addition, the flag that was hung over the Kremlin after the collapse of the USSR can now be viewed at the Yeltsin Center in Yekaterinburg. You can see there that the colors are different from those now. I don't think it was just a misinterpretation

Did I miss where you actually show the Confederate Flag? That seems like a large omission. Also, the "National Flag" of the CSA is not what you are thinking about. The original National Flag has a blue field in the upper left with seven white stars in a circle and then three bars (red/white/red) for the rest of the flag (the "Stars and Bars"). What you are probably thinking about (and never show) is the Confederate Battle Flag which has the blue cross (called the "Southern Cross") with 13 stars (for the 11 states in the CSA plus two states, Missouri and Kentucky which they hoped would join) on a field of Red. This was later adapted for use on the second National Flag which had the Southern Cross in the upper left and the rest of the flag white (not a great choice). They later added a red bar at the far end of the field of white.

15:11 Я буквально идя по улице встречаю в окнах все виды флагов, от царских, до советских, ну и про Знамя Всемилостивого Спаса не забывают. Про то, что может твориться в определенные даты даже вспоминать не хочу.

14:52 this flag technically never existed, the government just didn't make a law yet for the color of the flag, so every factory was making their own version

The most world flags colors meaning: “Blue for the glory and beauty of our state, white for purity, and red for the BLOOD... SPILLED BY OUR ANCESTORS! IN WARS! IN THE STRUGGLE FOUR OUR INDEPENDENCE! and etc etc.” Colors of the Russian flag: "Uh... Netherlands, I guess?"

being from russian navy myself i have to correct you as the whitte flag with blue cross i actually a russian navy jack, the britain-looking one is a jack for the first and second rank ships only

And the flag of the Soviet Union is also used and is called the “Victory Banner”; it hangs on some government buildings and military

@ProtossOP 3 ай бұрын

Late to the party but that’s factually incorrect. The Victory Banner is a banner of a 150th rifle order, not the flag of Soviet Union.

@@ProtossOP Originally it was just a Soviet flag with white instead of gold. The writing on it was added by the soldiers afterwards. However, the Banner as it is now is indeed recognized as officially being equal to the Russian state flag _during Victory Day_

Not accurate. You failed to mention that while they all share the tricolor design, each country has a different shade of blue. I am Croatian and our flag has a different shade of blue compared to russian flag

The Russian Jack having the same symbolism of the British Jack but with the colours reversed kinda makes Russia and Britain like Mario and Wario

@timelordthemaster 3 ай бұрын

Well, by the way, if Britain is Wario, everything fits. Britain attacked and conquered literally half the planet and gave all these lands as colonies, that is, they pumped out resources from there and exploited the natives without giving most of them equal civil rights.

As a person who grew up in Russia. White: heaven, religion Blue: the sky below it Red: the blood spilled by mortals, the mortal realm. OR: White symbolizes peace, purity, and independence. Blue represents faith, loyalty, and the Virgin Mary, considered the protector of Russia. Red signifies strength, courage, and the blood shed for the country. idk, at least what i remember. I was adopted at a young age, but even then, this is what the schools taught the flag meant.
