HISTORY
Introduced 1699, re-adopted
August 22, 1991
The Russian civil ensign was
personally designed by Peter the Great, Czar of Russia, in 1699 and became the
national flag of Russia on May 7, 1883. In 1918, it was replaced by a red flag
with the golden initials RSFSR in the upper hoist. Since 1990, the
white-blue-red three color has been used in great numbers by pro-democracy. The
colors are as follows: White stands for God, Red for the people and blue is
for Czar.
