State flags of Russia. Three stripes, but which ones?

Oh Russia! forget the former glory:
The two-headed eagle is afflicted
And yellow children for fun
Given the shreds of your banners.

Long way to the state flag. Subject stories The VO readers liked the flags. All of them agreed that this topic, even if it is rich to disbelief, but the third article should be devoted to the flag of Russia. And it even turns out somehow inconvenient: where is our flag? And our story is no less interesting than that of Italian. The same ancient and full of myths. For example, for some reason, some people believe that the flag of the same Ivan the Terrible was red. And this despite the fact that the description of the "Great Banner" of Ivan IV (1560) and himself have survived. This is what the “great banner” looked like, sewn according to the medieval tradition from fabrics of different colors and, in addition, covered with embroidered images. It was “built” (then they wrote “build”, not sew!) From Chinese taffeta with one “slope”, that is, with a triangular braid at the top. The middle was azure (light blue), the slope was sugar (that is, white), the border around the main panel was lingonberry, and around the slope was poppy. In the middle of the azure cloth there was a circle of dark blue taffeta, in which there was an image of the Savior in white clothes and on a white horse. Around this circle were embroidered golden cherubim and seraphim, and to the left of the circle and under it were also a large heavenly host, also in white clothes and on white horses. Another circle was sewn into the slope, but this time made of white taffeta, and in it was Saint Michael the Archangel with a sword in his right hand and a cross in his left, on a golden winged horse. At the same time, both the middle and the entire slope were embroidered with gold - crosses and stars.




"Great banner" of Tsar Ivan the Terrible

Another banner is known, which is referred to in the chronicle description of the siege of Kazan by Ivan the Terrible in 1552 and where it is said: “and the sovereign of the kherugvi ordered the Christian to unfold, that is to say, the banner, on them the image of our Lord Jesus Christ Not Made by Hands” After the seizure of Kazan at the banner, which had the name of the "Most Merciful Savior," not only was a solemn prayer service immediately served, but in the place where this flag stood during the siege, the tsar ordered to erect a church! That is, this banner played the role of a kind of icon and was colored accordingly icon-painting, and not at all worldly canons. And we are very lucky that this historical banner has survived to this day and is now kept in Armory chamber of the Kremlin. Its length is 4 arshins 2 vershoks (i.e. about 3 meters), its height is 2 arshins 2 vershoks (1,5 meters). The image of Christ is, in fact, an icon on the fabric, embroidered with gold, silver and silk threads; two crosses and five stars are embroidered on the slope, and the edge is trimmed with gold and crimson silk. The fabric itself is dark crimson and, in addition, patterned.

Among the relics of the Armory are the whole banners of Ermak, under which he conquered the Siberian Khanate of Kuchum. They are all blue. The length of each is more than 3 arshins (2 meters), and two images are embroidered on one at once: Christ and St. Michael, on the other two - a unicorn and a lion.

Well, referring to the more ancient chronicle miniatures, we often see flags with panels in the form of triangular pennants of red and blue colors, that is, everything is according to the iconographic tradition: after all, these are the colors of the robe of the Virgin.

Accordingly, the tsars who succeeded Ivan IV used very similar flags, "built" of expensive brocade, woven with gold, and embroidered with the faces of the patron saints of Russia and the Russian army. This is how, for example, the banner of the Great Regiment of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, father of Peter the Great, sewn in 1654, looked like.


The banner of the Great Regiment of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich from 1654 to 1701, when it was canceled by Peter I

It is interesting that, although the banners of the sovereign regiments, that is, large military formations, were real works of art, the banners of the Streletsky regiments were, on the contrary, extremely simple and were multi-colored panels without any embroidery, but with the obligatory straight cross of contrasting colors in relation to the main field. Moreover, all the "colored" Moscow rifle regiments, which also wore colored hats, caftans and boots, had almost the same design, but different colors.

As for Peter I, at the beginning of his reign he used the old-style banners with a "slope" and all kinds of embroidery. This, for example, was his coat of arms in 1696.


Coat of arms of Peter I 1696

However, it is interesting that the sea flag of the Russian state appeared five years before it was born! Then, in 1667, by the tsar's decree, the first Russian warship "Eagle" was built on the Volga, and it was he who needed the flag. In a document of 1667 entitled: "Painting, what else is needed for the ship structure, cut off what is now bought ..." the commander of the ship "Eagle" asked to release him more matter for the flags, and added the following: "and those flowers are all Kindyaki like the Great The sovereign will indicate, only on ships there is, which state is the ship, that state is the banner. " That is, judging by the text, he did not know the colors and structure of the state moisture of Russia, but he knew that the ships sail under the state flags, which is why he asked for the appropriate fabrics, that is, "Kindyaks."

The choice of the flag was then taken very seriously. So, Alexei Mikhailovich prepared a special "Scripture on the conception of signs and banners or ensigns", which depicted the flags of all the biblical twelve tribes of Israel, as well as the state and naval flags of England, Denmark, Sweden and Holland. Then April 9, 1667. The Siberian order received an order "to send from exchange goods three hundred and ten arshins of kindyaks and one hundred and fifty arshins of worm-like (that is, red), white, azure (blue) tafts for shipbuilding for banners and yalovchiks (yalovtsy - pennants)."

True, it is still impossible to establish the design of the flag from the surviving documents. But it is believed that it included a blue straight cross, as well as two white squares and, accordingly, two red squares located diagonally, and in addition it was also trimmed with a red border. That is, for some reason it is very similar, just like the banners of the "colored" Moscow rifle regiments!

State flags of Russia. Three stripes, but which ones?

Flag of 1668

That is, how he looked exactly, we still do not know, but we can only assume this. But it is known that in 1693 Peter I, sailing on the White Sea, for the first time raised the "flag of the Tsar of Moscow" on his yacht. And that flag consisted of three horizontal stripes of white, blue and red, and in the center of the flag a two-headed eagle was embroidered in gold. This flag can be considered the state flag, since there were simply no others at that time, but since the tsar himself was there, it can also be considered the tsar's standard.


Flag of Russia, 1693

In 1712, Peter I personally created a model of the flag for the naval fleet, a very simple and laconic white flag with an oblique azure cross - St. Andrew's flag, named in honor of the Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called. The flag of stripes of white, blue and red remained in the Navy as the flag of merchant ships, it also became the military field flag of the Russian army, part of the officer's uniform (as an officer's scarf over his shoulder), and then also the state flag of the empire!


Andrew's flag, 1712

Why didn't Peter I keep the old flag with a vertical blue cross, or why didn't he arrange the stripes vertically? We can only guess about that. One thing is clear: the origin of the red and blue colors of the Russian flag from the colors of the clothes of the Virgin, as they were depicted on the icons. This is why these colors were so popular. And people saw these colors from early childhood, considered them a shrine and kissed, begging the Lord for grace for themselves and their children.

And for a long time, these two flags, trade-imperial and naval, suited everyone in Russia. But in 1858, Emperor Alexander II adopted a new flag for special occasions, which had completely different colors: the upper stripe is black, the middle yellow and the lower one is white. The proposal came from Baron Kene, who pointed out to the emperor that the colors of the flag did not correspond to the colors of the state coat of arms, which was a violation of the rules of German heraldry.


Flag of Russia, 1858

A decree was issued, according to which black, orange (gold) and white became the state colors of the Russian Empire. The symbolism of the flowers was simple and understandable: black symbolized the earth, and the other two - gold and silver. In addition, the benefit of black is also that it implies absolute dominance. He can “paint over” any other color, but “paint over” black is not so easy. However, the new flag did not gain popularity in society, since the influence of the "non-reckoning" was felt in it, and the Germans were not liked in Russia. There was one more, purely psychological reason: the black color, heavy, gloomy, the color of hell and hellish torment, was located in it above! This was a violation of the tradition of visualizing the “heavenly world” as “the golden world” (“the color of paradise”), the world of “divine purity” (“dove color” of innocence) and the world of “heavenly blue”. People were not ready for this psychologically and therefore did not accept the new flag in their hearts.

But here Alexander III, during his coronation, noticed that his festive procession was decorated with some flags, but the city was decorated with completely different ones. That is, black-yellow-white colors sharply discord with white-blue-red. The emperor, who stood up for the unity of power and people, considered this situation abnormal and on April 28, 1883 ordered to raise exclusively the white-blue-red flag of the Russian merchant marine fleet on all solemn occasions.

However, this flag received state status only on the eve of the coronation of Emperor Nicholas II. At the same time, his description indicated that the red color in it symbolizes "statehood", azure (blue) - the patronage of the Mother of God (remember the color of her clothes on the icons!), But white in this case no longer symbolized purity, but freedom and independence.

In 1914, the Russian flag changed again. A special circular from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs introduced a new national white-blue-red flag with a yellow square ("kryzha") added to the top with a black double-headed eagle. Well, apparently, the black eagle on a yellow background looked very good. By the way, the personal naval standard of Peter the Great, with maps of the seas washing Russia in the claws and beaks of eagles, was just such a yellow and black eagle!


Peter I standard

It turned out to be very successful in all respects, which is why it was not replaced until 1917. Psychologically, the black eagle is absolute dominance, and the golden background is absolute wealth. And what can be opposed to these two symbols? Nothing!


Imperial Standard (1857-1883)

In April 1918, at the suggestion of Sverdlov, the state flag began to look like this: a red cloth with the inscription "RSFSR" in gold in the upper left corner. Everything is obvious, simple and clear.


Russian flag in 1918

In 1920, the flag of the USSR was adopted, on the model of which, that is, with a hammer and sickle in the upper right corner, and abbreviations denoting a particular republic, the flags of our union states were also created. But the flag of Russia as such did not exist until 1954, when on May 2, by a decree of the Presidium of the RSFSR, the Russian flag was finally approved. It was a red cloth with a light blue stripe near the shaft from top to bottom. In the upper left corner were the traditional golden hammer and sickle, and above them a red five-pointed star bordered in gold. It is clear that the blue color in this case symbolized the blue sky above us and the blue seas around us, but the original, “spiritual” context of this flag has not disappeared anywhere either. If Peter I himself was a somewhat more religious person, he could well have come up with a blue-red or red-blue flag for Russia with a golden Orthodox cross located on the color separation line. All according to the well-known popular saying: a candle to God, and a devil of a poker! I would follow all the icon-painting traditions and create a very memorable laconic flag, on which the Orthodox would be baptized, like an icon. Such a flag, like the power of the sovereign, the "anointed of God", would be easy to deify. But he did not think of this, alas!


Flag of Russia, 1954

And August 22, 1991 was marked by the beginning of a new history of the Russian flag. A rectangular cloth with horizontal stripes of white, blue and red colors of different sizes with an aspect ratio of 1: 2 was adopted as the state flag.


Flag of Russia, adopted in 1991

Note that the flag of our Fatherland is a banner with a very, very difficult fate in all respects. Twice it was compromised by the bloodshed of the brotherly blood of Russians: the first time during the Civil War, when it was used by the armies of the White Guards, and during the Great Patriotic War, when the ROA fought under it.

It would seem that this alone would have been enough to permanently abandon this symbol, but apparently in 1991 they thought differently or simply forgot about these episodes ... in a hurry. Meanwhile, it was quite possible to revive the old imperial flag of the heyday of the Russian Empire, that is, the black-yellow-white tricolor. And, by the way, in order to be accepted then on the wave of the general thirst for change, it was only necessary to turn it over so that the black "mourning" strip was below!


Then the flag would read like this. Below is the "land", the main wealth of Russia, its black soil, its bowels. In the middle, "gold" is all that is created by the labor of its citizens on this earth. By the way, the primordial wealth of Russia is “the gold of bread”. Finally, the upper band is white, the color of purity of thoughts, piety, and nobility. It could have turned out beautifully, wouldn't it, but that too ... didn't work out. Well, the president's standard, as before, could have been gold, with the same black eagle clutching a hammer and sickle in its paws!

      About the flags of Ermak.
      .... on the other two - a unicorn and a lion.

      If my memory does not fail me - the old coat of arms of Moscow!
      Considering the "official version" of Ermak - as a robber who arbitrarily "crushed" Siberia. It is doubtful that the described flags belonged to his Cossacks. Remembering that the Ermakovites, after the death of the ataman, fled from Siberia. There is even more uncertainty about the authenticity of the banners. Although in the detachment of Ermak there were mainly veterans of the Livonian War, so they could dust the state property !!!
      Thank you Vyacheslav Olegovich for continuing the cycle!

            Oh, you have not seen, you live the Ural River! Especially in the Orsk region. Then they did not call him blue.
            The residents of Orenburg themselves remember the "dark waters of the Urals", only in the spring during floods! When it is bright brown, it attacks all accessible lowlands, sweeping away anything that is poorly built and nailed down. In this connection, all coastal towns and villages are fenced with dams. In summer, this is a river no more than 10 meters wide, through which you can go ford in the Orenburg region. Near Orsk, a resident from the banks of the Kama, Belaya and Volga, may generally seem like a stream.

              Vladislav, there is no need to cross over to the ford in the Orenburg region. There are 100 meters and in some places a decent depth, and after the confluence with Sakmara, outside the city, it is generally a serious river.

                Sergei!
                Last fall, on a dare, we went in wading boots with trousers a hundred meters above the bridge, where on the left bank in Orenburg there is a stele of Europe-Asia! After the merger with Samara, the Urals did not see.
                But there is no reason to underestimate it, in the flood Orsk Ural was pretty drowned. For the first time in general to zero, I had to move the city. After the second, they moved 400 km downstream, where modern Orenburg is located.
                By the way, Orsk at the dawn of its history was called Orenburg. The Orchanka River still flows within Orsk!

                  I know history, the current Orenburg is in third place, the first in 1735, where Orsk is now, the second - it seems, where Kuvandyk is, did not like it either, and in 1743 they founded it on the current place, giving a kick to the Cossack settlement (about 300 souls), the settlement rolled back to 9 versts to Sakmara (not to be confused with the Samara River, it is also there, but ultimately flows into the Volga). This Cossack settlement later acquired the name "Byrd", at one time they were visited by Pugachev, and then by Pushkin. Now within the city boundaries. The name of the new city - Orenburg - remained the same as in the decree of Anna Ioannovna, and it means "a fortress on the Ori river". So it remained - the fortress was in one place, and the Or river - upstream. About the obelisk "Europe-Asia" - local insanity. Once upon a time, about 150 years ago, the border really passed through the Urals, but in the mid-50s, the World Geographical Congress, taking into account geology, decided to draw the border along the Mugodzhary and Emba, that is, to the south. The last time I was in my hometown was at the beginning of May last year, the Urals, of course, got smaller, but not too much.

                    The second place, as far as I remember, was where the village of Krasnokholm is now, and the name Orenburg, yes, remained from the Or river, where Orsk now stands.

    Note that the flag of our Fatherland is a banner with a very, very difficult fate in all respects. Twice it was compromised by the bloodshed of the brotherly blood of Russians: the first time during the Civil War, when it was used by the armies of the White Guards, and during the Great Patriotic War, when the ROA fought under it.

    What nonsense:

    1.Russia lived before WWI with him, fought under its official state flag with the invaders in WWI and continued under it, to fight the invaders of power after it.

    And today Russia, like many centuries earlier, continues to live and fight under it.

    And yes, the opposite side also participated in the fratricidal war, moreover, she also unleashed it (before the thief, there was no civil war), this is about "compromising" participation.

    2. ROA did not fight under it, the Nazis did not allow her, her officers. Andreevsky flag.

    Which, again, does not compromise him in any way: Hitler, for example, adored and used excellent autobahns. vegetarianism, watercolors, loved the Alps, etc. and this does not compromise the Autobahn vegetarianism, watercolors, the Alps.

            With the flag of the "Pskov" parade of the so-called. "Guards Brigade" history is dark, it should be noted. It was rather the former whites who insisted on the tricolor, but in the ROA their influence was small, and the number too.

        ,,, he was not officially accepted, Andrey is right.
        Gradually, all the so-called "national military units" in the German army received badges with the national colors of their peoples. Only the largest people - the Russians - were denied this. This issue urgently demanded a solution. But here, too, difficulties arose. Historical Russian national colors - white-blue-red - were banned. The proposals were developed both at Dabendorf and at the headquarters of the general of the Eastern forces. Dabendorf projects were 90% white-blue-red. One project even corresponded to the former flag of the Romanov house.

        Rosenberg himself took up the question of the flag with interest. The Romanov flag with an eagle and the white-blue-red colors were, of course, rejected by him. On the contrary, Rosenberg liked the blue St. Andrew's cross on a white background, conceived as a small shield on a red banner. Only the abundance of red did not like the minister, and he proposed to reduce the red color to a narrow framing of a white field with a blue St. Grotte was pleased and, being in Dabendorf, especially congratulated Malyshkin, who had prepared the project with his officers.

    Meanwhile, it was quite possible to revive the old imperial flag of the heyday of the Russian Empire, that is, the black-yellow-white tricolor. And, by the way, in order to be accepted then on the wave of the general thirst for change, it was only necessary to turn it over so that the black "mourning" strip was below!

        For the first time, "black and yellow" cockades appeared in the time of Anna Ioannovna. The St. George ribbon has its roots precisely from her.
        But here we must admit that Alexander III's “choice of the people” did not return to the modern tricolor for nothing. His Contemporaries did not accept the "black-yellow-white" flag. All solemn exits under it were accompanied by "white-blue-red" flags in the crowd of subjects.
        Similarly, the standard of the President of Russia was chosen, which is essentially a tracing of the flag of Peter in 1693, with the exception of the golden border!

Such a directly Russian-pre-Russian name ... well, about the same true Russian name for a "domestic" aircraft - "Superjet" - eh?

              Kote pane Kohanka - Colleague, our country did not develop in isolation, of course there are a lot of "borrowings" in language and culture, even in the everyday sphere. But the flag of the state is a symbol, and the current flag can be said to be "typical" and all attempts to somehow justify the connection of this flag almost with a religious tradition are extremely unconvincing. Well, Pyotr Alekseevich "borrowed" the flag from the Dutch, but what has to do with the icon-painting of the Virgin?

                Well, probably not "typical", but functional! The classic flag is a cross on the field. The oldest are Danish, British and French (white cross on a blue field). Equal horizontal stripes are clearly visible in the sea! Judging by the sketches from Peter's personal archive, he initially leaned towards a cruciform flag (a red cross that divides the fields of blue and white in a checkerboard pattern) similar to the Strelets' orders. But practice has shown difficulties in identification.

                After knowledge is harmful! Until 1795, the Dutch flag was like this!

                Along with it, striped ones with alternating 6 and 9 stripes were used!
                So, it would be more likely that Peter stole the flag from the Duke of Luxembourg!

                But here again the "infection", the latter has been put into circulation since 1815!
                In fact, we come to the conclusion that Peter did not "turn over" and did not "Borrow" anything except the horizontal arrangement of equal stripes.
                But there is also an interesting point! We reliably know that for the flag of the ship Eagle, three fabrics were allocated: white, azure (blue) and scarlet (red).
                In 1693, Peter in Arkhangelsk swims, under the standard of their three equal horizontal stripes: white, blue, red and a golden two-eyed eagle on top of them?
                So maybe it was the tracing of the Eagle's stern flag? And there were no borrowings? Holland - definitely!

                Now for the divine!
                The description of all the old coats of arms in heraldry was originally tied to the blood of the savior, red; purity of thoughts and spirit (white), blue (the robe of the Virgin Mary). You can put other meanings, but in the flag of the Netherlands only orange was from the house of the Duke of Orange. So something of your version is as described by Vyacheslav.
                My distinctive, gives the possibility of interpretation.

                    In essence you are right, but historically it happened the way it happened. By the way, in the middle of the last century, there was even a controversy between Luxembourg and the Netherlands over the colors of the flag.

              explain that a bear is a bear !!!

              If we go to the Indo-European roots of languages, then the bear was denoted by a word similar to the English bear or the German ber, which originally meant like "the one who takes away". By the way, the Russian "den" is also from there. But even in the ancient Slavic pre-Christian times, the bear was considered the owner of the forest and was afraid to call it by name - otherwise he would hear it, come and take it to the den. Like "say damn, and he's right there." Therefore, they were called allegorically, including a specialist in honey, i.e. bear. So it stuck.

                Many linguists believe that the word "honey" among the Slavs is just one of the earliest borrowings from the Huns. laughing
                Analogy - there is a Russian word "bookkeeper", but every bookkeeper imagines himself "bookkeeper". In the word I spoke, there is pride, with a bear, primitive beliefs. Although the word Ber itself is embodied at least in the names of the two capitals Berlin and Bern.

        You know, Gennady, me too. Red, white, blue is beautiful, I admit it. 100% religious, the veils of the Mother of God and all that ... But ... it was a question of how ... to move away from the past. The eagle was returned, but the flag and anthem in general have the same content. The white stripe was returned to the red and blue Soviet flag and that's it. And the white-gold and black flag is completely new, it is "speaking" (and speaking well!). And the anthem had to be made a song from the film Circus - "Wide is my native country ..." And then, they say - "similar to German." So the Germans have black at the top, but we would have it at the bottom! Where the earth is supposed to be!

    ... in 1693, Peter I, sailing on the White Sea, first raised the "flag of the Tsar of Moscow" on his yacht. And that flag consisted of three horizontal stripes of white, blue and red, and a two-headed eagle was embroidered in gold in the center of the flag. This flag can be considered a state

    Everyone has the right to consider whatever he likes. Last time I gave you screenshots of this book:



    " In 1910 year Russian emperor Nicholas II convened a Special meeting: the 100th anniversary of the Borodino battle was approaching, it was planned to hold large festivities, during which it was planned to demonstrate the triumph and greatness of Russia and its sovereign flag. And therefore it was necessary to urgently decide on which flag itself is the symbol of the state. This task was to be solved by a Special Meeting.

    During the work of this meeting, it turned out that during the entire three-hundred-year reign of the Romanov dynasty, Russia did not have a state flag".

                  Nicholas II called a Special Meeting in 1910 to determine the colors of the imperial flag, or is it not true (garbage)? If so, then the color of the imperial flag, like it itself, did not exist, because there is no state flag with indefinite colors. Today is blue, tomorrow is white ... delirium.

                  The white-blue-red tricolor, for which all liberal circles of Russia stood up, was approved as a state decision by the Provisional Government only on September 01 [14], 1917. Why did they do it, if, as you say, he was already "our" symbol?

    The author began so intriguingly and ... immediately moved on to the XNUMXth century. But what about antiquities and myths?
    Actually, if we talk about the single national flag of the Russian state, then as a state regalia, as a symbol of the unity of the state, the State Banner of the Russian Empire appeared in 1742, before the coronation of Elizabeth Petrovna.
    The drawing of the state banner was made by the painter Ivan Yakovlevich Vishnyakov. The banner was made of gold fabric, on which the images of the state eagle and all the coats of arms placed in the large state coat of arms were embroidered. The flagstaff, border and fringe of the canvas were made in the state colors: white, yellow and black. The shaft is crowned with a golden apple (orb) with a state eagle. The years are placed on the Andreev's ribbons of the banner: 862 (foundation of the state), 988 (baptism of Rus), 1497 (acceptance of the royal title) and 1721 (acceptance of the imperial title).

    For example, for some reason, some people believe that the flag of the same Ivan the Terrible was red. And this despite the fact that the description of the "Great Banner" of Ivan IV (1560) has been preserved.
    However, the description of the "Banners of the Most Merciful Savior", under which he besieged Kazan in 1552, has also survived.

          It turns out that finding the original color is an unsolvable task.
          To begin with, to narrow down the search field, I would separate, for a start, concepts such as a flag and a banner.
          In Russia, until the last quarter of the 1699th century. there were banners, not flags. The word flag appeared in Russian in XNUMX as a derivative from the Dutch vlag, and initially, perhaps,
          existed in the form flaghouse - the Dutch name for pure wool worsted fabric for flags on ships.
          The banner originally had a completely different meaning. In Dahl's dictionary, it is not even awarded
          separate dictionary entry, it is included in the entry "sign". Old Russian "znamenovatsya" meant "to be different, to stand out in something". For this purpose, in particular, a sacred symbol (sign) of a tribe or group of people was raised on the shaft. The banner, according to Dahl, meant about the same as the banner, that is, a sign, a sign, and only much later acquired the meaning of "a banner on a staff, handed to the troops for honor and as a composite sign during a battle."
          Proceeding from this, it hardly makes sense to look for the "primary color" of the Russian tricolor in the depths of centuries.
          Obviously, it is worth limiting ourselves to the time frame for the creation of a centralized Russian state and the color symbols of the regalia of Russian sovereigns.

            It was argued that in "Poltava" Pushkin is found only in 3 words.

              The pundits have no disagreement about this. The concepts of a flag and a banner are separated in vexillology.
              On the colors of the Russian flag there is an interesting article by the Russian military historian, heraldist, one of the founders of Russian vexillology, Pyotr Ivanovich Belavenets "Colors of the Russian State National Flag: Note of a Member of the Special Council."

                    Another name for the banner!
                    To be honest, I would not categorically divide the functionality of banners and flags!
                    In Holland, the flag was originally a banner. A similar situation with the oldest Danish or Swiss! The first was born at sea, and was originally the standard of the king. The second - on land and wandered around Europe along with the Swiss battles! It makes sense to define the status of the flag as a symbol of power! The banner is a symbol of a military unit! The standard is a specific representative, but there are also various jacks, pennants and much more !!! Which also had their practical value !!!
                    So the banner of victory was raised over the Reichstag, and merchant ships sail under the flag of Russia. If you dig further, you can find even more absurdities, but all of them are not fundamental !!! We will only delve further into the derby of heraldry, symbols!
                    Although I do not mind smelling the difference between "lancers with colorful badges", by the way, on the picks! Determined belonging to a particular unit!

                      The banner is the predecessor of the banner. Among the French, oriflamma carried similar symbolism. A banner (sign) is a banner with the image of the Savior. The banner was also called.

                        Let's take a closer look at the French!
                        Oriflamma - banner (banner)! What did it mean?
                        If I'm wrong, correct it.
                        1. The presence of the king of France on the battlefield.
                        2. Location of His Majesty with the detachment.
                        3. Moreover, she climbed onto the spear only at the moment of the battle, and before that the gonfalon bearer wore the oriflamma on him!
                        In fact, this is the altar banner! Which seems to be on the battlefield for the first time taken by King Philip from the monastery of Saint-Demi !!!
                        In other words, it is also the standard of the King of France !!!
                        With the accession of the Bourbon dynasty, the lily becomes a symbol! I don't remember what happened at Valois. After Agincourt - Saint-Demi was not used. Initially, the standard of Henry of Navarsky - then it is reborn into a naval flag, national flag, etc. At the same time, remaining the standard of the king and the banner of his regiment.
                        The French tricolor was originally the banner of the militia of Paris, the standard of its count, then it was raised to the barricades and? In the beginning, according to Hugo, a green flag competed with the tricolor, but .... "Someone remembered that green is the symbol of the Prince of Condé's house!" Now France lives under its own tricolor, not a green flag !!!
                        In principle, the line flowing from the banner to the flag and back can be continued for a long time!
                        "What's their rag - Reed?" A pig is not a pig, not a tree and a bird of some sort! A golden tree and a nightingale in a field of hearts? Maybe so sir! Sheathed swords, this is Willie the hog, not the Douglases!

                        Oriflamma - banner (banner)! What did it mean?
                        The main meaning of this sacred sign is a campaign, mobilizing forces for war and inspiration at a difficult moment of battle; victory in a battle consecrated by oriflamme was considered only a consequence.
                        They mark the adherence of the supreme ruler of the state to certain ideas and the readiness to defend them.
                        It is included in a number of monarchical insignias and shrines associated with the personality of the monarch, meaning the continuity of his power from the powerful Roman emperors and at the same time the blessing of the primate of the Church, the Pope.
                        It was used not to designate troops, but as a sacred protective sign and an inspiring symbol.
                        The sacred-monarchical significance of oriflamma was expressed in the fact that it was deployed in front of the army only in those cases "when the war was fought against the enemies of Christianity or the whole kingdom and the monarch himself was at the head of the campaign." It was the banner that was directly connected with the supreme power, and therefore could be in the hands of the supreme ruler. Only the king could "deploy oriflamma" - and this meant his personal participation in the war, the fact that he himself went to war, acts at the head of the army.
                        For the sake of interest, read the article "Banner" in the first volume of Viskovatov. If we ignore the insignificant details, the French oriflamma and the Old Russian banner are one and the same.

              The simplest thing, so as not to look in the lists of the Laurentian Chronicle, open the Radziwill Chronicle with miniatures. It turns out there still Svyatoslav walked under a red triangular banner (10th century), well, the next ones too.

          There was such a Lermonologist Irakli Andronnikov, who shot the wonderful film "The Secret of the NFI" on TV, and a number of similar ones. One described how an unknown portrait of Lermontov was found. But ... the piping on the uniform was red, and the red piping was worn by military engineers. So not Lermontov ... And only when a specialist in uniformology looked at the portrait, he said, this "red" was never one, and this is crimson, but there is a border of the regiment in which Lermontov served. So this is sometimes very important.

      Interesting remark!
      However, everyone looked up to the tricolor of the Russian Empire!
      On the other hand, he would have been born illiterate, could have wrapped up a fake version, no worse than Fomenko and Nasonov, about how the Dutch and French “stole” our flag! laughing
      Or put forward a hypothesis, in defiance of the respected A. Samsonov, how the "masters of the West" (France and Holland) were outraged by the Russian-Slavs-Aryans, forcing the first to accept the state colors of the national tricolor! In other matters, the shaves with the Americans are not far away, with their blue-white-red !!! The number of stripes, they tried so hard to please us !!! laughing

    Despite my absolutely communist convictions, I will note that the opinion widespread among the left and nationalists about the modern Russian tricolor as a "Vlasov flag" is not true.
    The Vlasovites fought under the "Andreev" flag, which the RI Navy had until 1917, and now the flag of the Russian Navy.
    Widely replicated photos from the ROA parade in Pskov are not an argument, because the tricolor was passed there by a former White Guard officer on his own initiative, for which he was punished in a disciplinary manner.
    And about the drawing on the SPG, it's not even funny, there they drew crocodiles ..........
    So, Shpakovsky, he is so ............ Shpakovsky ...... :)
    By the way, if "someone does not know," the order of hoisting banners at the "Presidential Palace" in Grozny in January 1995 is interesting.
    First, the naval flag was hung (by the political officer of the BF BF), since the storming of the houses closest to the palace was completed mainly by the Navy MP with the Baltic Fleet and the Northern Fleet.
    Then the next day, the flag of the USSR appeared on the floor above ..... :)
    And only a couple of days later - the tricolor of the Russian Federation.

    Q. Oh, spa for your work. One feels the skill, and not a primitive hack. But you have small mistakes
    1) in 1918 there were 4 letters on the Russian flag: R.S. f. R. Russian Soviet Federative Republic.
    2) The USSR was formed in 1922 and at the same time the 5 letter C was added to the Russian flag

    P.S. At the VO "something died" with the monarchist Olgovich in "one trench" ........: D
    This is what Shpakovsky's "life-giving" incompetence does ......... :)

    But seriously, the flag really needs to be somehow changed, tk. it is completely analogous to the banner of one of the parties in the civil war. Moreover, the loser, i.e. rejected by the majority of the people.
    This confirms the antagonism between the modern "elite" and the main part of the Russian proletariat.
    But, as with Niccolo .. ".... because you can replace the elite, but you cannot replace the people." ... :)
    The process of "re-Sovietization" is objective, we hope (and make efforts to this end) and "recommunization" is already at a higher turn of the historical spiral than the state of the Soviet Union.
    As one well-known historical character said in 1917, speaking to the Swiss youth: "We, the old people, may not live to see the decisive battles of this coming revolution." ........... :)

    If you dig into the depths of the centuries, then you should also remember Vladimir Monomakh. It is not known how its banner looked in shape, but in the annals a "scarlet banner" was noted, then red. And since many, including Byzantine authors "actually considered Monomakh an imperialist, it was necessary to continue the imperial tradition and adopt a red flag in 1991, but without a hammer and sickle. Thus, end-to-end continuity in heraldry was preserved.

    Peter could not raise the flag of the "Tsar of Moscow", because he became Tsar only in 1696 after the death of Tsar Ivan Alekseevich. Two previous attempts in 1682 and 1689 were unsuccessful. And about what he really did in the White Sea in 1693-94. in the Book of the Head of the Historical Club (istclub.ru) Alexander Kasatkin "The collapse of the Empire of the Russian Tsars in 1676-1700." https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=Qn5xCwAAQBAJ&hl=ru&pg=GBS.PA1 The Forbidden History of Russia.

    What's there to guess? For example, the British came up with a ritual: a hymn (prayer) "God bless the queen (monarch)." The Russians adopted the ritual along with the hymn itself. At first, it never occurred to anyone that the anthem might have a national identity. Well, the flag, in the complete absence of tradition, could be introduced into use by some "military specialist" who entered the Russian military service.

    in short, I propose such a flag
    1 white
    2 turquoise
    3 black

    white is customary. black calms down and in general the most serious color of the earth, but turquoise is the only color besides acid ones that does not mix with other colors.
    And no one has a turquoise color because before that there was no such color at all ?!
    Proven in PC games - just a buryuz sight against the background of all the other colors look bright and distinct.
    For those who, like the Japanese, for some reason, does not distinguish turquoise from blue - the turquoise colors have a pronounced greenish tint.
    on the other turquoise is blue-green.

    and yes, red, like the red colors of sundresses, is a theme of a purely Moscow principality, for example, Novgorod has a green theme.
    the fact that the Moscow principality defeated others still does not make this color truly national
    and Muscovy that they did not love then that now tongue
    and red color and blood and aggression! that programs all the shortcomings of our people:
    1 white - the sky is clear, But
    2 blue - water serenity, going with the flow - submission

    Judging by the fact that there are banners of the never-existing character of Ermak, the rest of the information also causes distrust. There was no point in conquering Siberia. Russian people lived there much earlier. And even more, it has always been the territory of Russia. All this inside was called the Land of Yarrila, for Europe It was Tartary, for the people of the outgoing generation of Aryan Rus it was Artaria. Tartary itself is not the correct name for the country of Artaria.
