Wiki:
The flag of Russia (Russian: Флаг России) is a tricolor flag
consisting of three equal horizontal fields: white on the top, blue in the
middle, and red on the bottom. The flag was first used as an ensign for Russian
merchant ships and became official as the flag of the Tsardom of Russia in
1696. It remained in use until the establishment of the Russian Socialist
Federative Soviet Republic (RSFSR) in 1917.
During the Soviet Union's existence, it used a flag with a
red field with a golden hammer and sickle and a golden bordered red star on
top. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the pre-revolutionary tricolor
was re-introduced as the flag of the Russian Federation in 1991 in the 1:2
ratio. The Tsarist tricolor was fully restored in 1993 after the constitutional
crisis as the current flag.
