The first flag of Russia was a red flag. Under the red banner, the teams of Prophetic Oleg and Svyatoslav went on campaigns.

The team of the Prophetic Oleg, storming Constantinople under the red banners

The flag under which Svyatoslav smashed Khazaria had an image of a two-prong on it. With the adoption of Christianity, the two-prong was replaced by a cross at Calvary. During the period of feudal fragmentation, each principality had its flag. The first attempt to introduce the all-Russian flag was a banner with the face of Christ. Under this flag, Dmitry Donskoy won.

When Moscow princes began to collect Russian lands under their own hands, the Moscow Ezdets on the red field, which during the reign of Ivan III, gradually became the flag of united Russia replaced by a double-headed eagle borrowed from Byzantium on a white background.

For the first time, a white-blue-red flag was hoisted on the first Russian warship Eagle, launched in 1667, which, however, three years later was burned by troops   Stepan Razin.

What did this tricolor mean in those days? Surely you noted for yourself the fact that the appearance of the tricolor flag coincided with the unification of Russia that began: according to the Andrusovsky truce, which ended the victorious Russian-Polish war of 1654-67, left-bank Ukraine and a piece of the eastern part of White Russia departed to the Moscow kingdom. In commemoration of this event, a three-color flag was established, meaning the unity of Great, Lesser and White Russia.

Rightful father tricolorand now Peter I. is recognized on January 20, 1705, he issued a decree according to which "on all kinds of merchant ships" they should raise a white-blue-red flag, he drew a sample and determined the order of horizontal stripes.

Flag of the times of Alexei Mikhailovich

In different variations, the three-lane flag was also decorated with warships until 1712, when the St. Andrew flag was approved on the navy.

In 1858, Alexander painted a drawing “with the arrangement of the emblem's black-yellow-white colors of the Empire on banners, flags and other objects for decoration on the streets for special occasions”. And on January 1, 1865, a personal decree of Alexander II came out, in which the colors black, orange (gold) and white were directly called the "state colors of Russia." The black-yellow-white flag lasted until 1883.

  Flag of the RSFSR from June 17, 1918 to January 21, 1937

The decree of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of April 1, 1937 approved a new image national flag The RSFSR, developed on behalf of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, by the artist A.N. Milkin. Unlike the RSFSR flag of the previous model, the new flag did not have a roof surrounded by gold lines, and the abbreviation of the name of the republic was plotted in ordinary font, without dividing points.

On January 20, 1947, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, by its resolution “On the State Flags of the Union Republics,” recognized it appropriate to amend the state flags of the Union SSR so that the state flags of the Union SSR reflect the idea of \u200b\u200bthe Union Soviet state and the national characteristics of the republics. The USSR emblem was placed on the flags - a sickle and a hammer with a red five-pointed star while maintaining the main red color of the panel, and in addition to the main red color of the panel, other colors were introduced, a national ornament was included. By a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR of January 9, 1954, a new description of the state flag of the RSFSR was established: a red rectangular cloth with a light blue stripe at the flagpole over the entire width of the flag, which is one eighth of the flag's length. In the upper left corner of the red panel were depicted a golden sickle and a hammer and above them a red five-pointed star framed by a gold border.

On August 22, 1991, the Extraordinary Session of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR decided to consider it an official symbol of Russia tricolorand by presidential decree of December 11, 1993, the Regulation on the State Flag of the Russian Federation was approved. And this is not accidental, because it is this tricolor   developed over the heads of those who provided

Every year on August 22, Russia celebrates the State Flag Day of the Russian Federation, established on the basis of Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 1714 of August 20, 1994 “On the Day of the State Flag of the Russian Federation”.

On August 22, 1991, the tricolor Russian flag was officially raised for the first time over the White House in Moscow, replacing the red cloth with a sickle and a hammer as a state symbol.

Story:

The national flag in Russia appeared at the turn of the XVII-XVIII centuries, in the era of the emergence of Russia as a powerful state. For the first time, a white-blue-red flag was hoisted on the first Russian warship Eagle, during the reign of the father of Peter I Alexei Mikhailovich. The “Eagle” did not sail for a long time under a new banner: having descended the Volga to Astrakhan, it was burned there by the rebellious peasants Stepan Razin. Peter I was recognized as the legal father of the tricolor on January 20, 1705, according to which a white-blue-red flag should be hoisted on all kinds of merchant ships, he himself drew a pattern and determined the order of horizontal stripes.

In different variations three-lane flag decorated and warships until 1712when the St. Andrew’s flag was established on the navy. In 1858, Alexander II approved the drawing "with the arrangement of the emblem's black-yellow-white flowers on the banners, flags and other objects for decoration on the streets for special occasions." BUT January 1, 1865   a personal decree of Alexander II was issued, in which colors black, orange (gold) and white   already right called "state colors of Russia."   The black-yellow-white flag lasted until 1883. April 28, 1883 an order was issued by Alexander III, which said: “So that in those solemn occasions when it is considered possible to allow the decoration of buildings with flags, only the Russian flag should be used, consisting of three stripes: upper — white, middle — blue and lower — red.” In 1896, Nicholas II established a Special Meeting at the Ministry of Justice to discuss the issue of the Russian national flag. The meeting concluded that "the white-blue-red flag has every right to be called Russian or national, and its colors: white, blue and red are called state." Three colors of the flag, which became national, received an official interpretation. Red color meant "sovereignty", blue - the color of the Mother of God, under whose cover is Russia, white - the color of freedom and independence. These colors also meant the community of White, Small and Great Russia.

August 22, 1991   Extraordinary session of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR decided to consider the official symbol of Russia is the tricolorand by decree of the President of the Russian Federation of December 11, 1993, the Regulation on the State Flag of the Russian Federation was approved. In August 1994, Russian President Boris Yeltsin signed a decree stating: “In connection with the restoration on August 22, 1991 of the historical Russian tricolor state flag covered with the glory of many generations of Russians, and with the aim of educating the present and future generations of Russian citizens with respect state symbolsI decide: To establish a holiday - Day of the State Flag of the Russian Federation and celebrate it on August 22nd. ”

December 25, 2000 Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the Law, according to which the State flag of Russia is a rectangular panel of three equal horizontal stripes: the upper - white, middle - blue and lower - red.

The colors of the Russian flag are attributed many symbolic meanings. There is currently no official interpretation of the colors of the State Flag of the Russian Federation.

White, blue and red colors from ancient times in Russia meant:

• white color - nobility and frankness;
• blue color - fidelity, honesty, impeccability and chastity;
• red color - courage, courage, generosity and love.

The national flag in Russia appeared at the turn of the XVII-XVIII centuries, in the era of the emergence of Russia as a powerful state. For the first time, a white-blue-red flag was hoisted on the first Russian warship Eagle, during the reign of the father of Peter I Alexei Mikhailovich. It is known that the “Eagle” did not sail for a long time under a new banner: having descended the Volga to Astrakhan, it was burned by the rebellious peasants Stepan Razin. Peter I was recognized as the legal father of the tricolor on January 20, 1705, according to which a white-blue-red flag should be hoisted on all kinds of merchant ships, he drew a pattern and determined the order of horizontal stripes. In different variations, the three-lane flag was also decorated with warships until 1712, when the St. Andrew flag was approved on the navy.

In 1858, Alexander II approved the drawing "with the arrangement of the emblem's black-yellow-white flowers on the banners, flags and other objects for decoration on the streets for special occasions." And on January 1, 1865, a personal decree of Alexander II came out, in which the colors black, orange (gold) and white were directly called the "state colors of Russia."

The black-yellow-white flag lasted until 1883. On April 28, 1883, the decree of Alexander III was announced, which said: "So that in those solemn occasions when it is considered possible to allow the decoration of buildings with flags, only the Russian flag should be used, consisting of three stripes: upper - white, middle - blue and lower - red flowers. " Finally, in 1896, Nicholas II established a Special Meeting at the Ministry of Justice to discuss the issue of the Russian national flag. The meeting concluded that "the flag white-blue-red has the full right to be called Russian or national and its colors: white, blue and red are called state" and determined that the whole empire should "finally be considered white-blue-red, and no other. "

Three colors of the flag, which became national, received an official interpretation. Red color meant "sovereignty", blue - the color of the Mother of God, under whose cover is Russia, white - the color of freedom and independence. These colors also meant the community of White, Small and Great Russia.

After the February Revolution, the Provisional Government used the white-blue-red flag as the state. Soviet Russia did not immediately reject the tri-color symbol of Russia. April 8, 1918 Ya.M. Sverdlov, speaking at a meeting of the Bolshevik faction of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, proposed to approve the combat red flag with the national Russian flag, and for more than 70 years the red flag has been the state flag.

The proposal to replace the “revolutionary” red flag with a white-blue-red one was expressed by Russian MP Viktor Yaroshenko - even before the August 1991 coup. The Extraordinary Session of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR on August 22, 1991 decided to consider the tricolor to be the official symbol of Russia, the Decree on the national flag of the Russian Federation was approved by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of December 11, 1993, and the decree of August 20, 1994 established that the State flag is constantly on the buildings , which houses the Presidential Administration, federal executive bodies, other federal bodies of state power, bodies of state power of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (together with flags with The object of the Russian Federation).

In August 1994, Russian President Boris Yeltsin signed a decree that said: "In connection with the restoration on August 22, 1991 of the historical Russian tricolor state flag covered with the glory of many generations of Russians, and in order to educate current and future generations of Russian citizens with respect to state symbols, I decide: To establish a holiday - Day of the State Flag of the Russian Federation and celebrate it on August 22 ".

In January 1998, it was decided to remove the problem of legislative consolidation of state symbols from the agenda of domestic political life, since there are polar points of view in this regard both in society and in parliament.

On December 4, 2000, Russian President Vladimir Putin introduced to the State Duma, among other laws on state symbols, a draft federal constitutional law "On the State Flag of the Russian Federation." On December 8, 2000, the State Duma adopted the bill in the first and third (final) readings. On December 20, 2000, the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation approved the draft law; on December 25, 2000, it was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In accordance with the law, the State flag of the Russian Federation is a rectangular panel of three equal horizontal stripes: the upper - white, middle - blue and lower - red. The ratio of the width of the flag to its length is 2: 3.

Currently, most often (unofficially) the following interpretation of the values \u200b\u200bof the colors of the flag of Russia is used: white means peace, purity, purity, perfection; blue - the color of faith and fidelity, constancy; red color symbolizes energy, strength, blood shed for the Fatherland.

  STATE ANTHEM OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

For a long time in Russia there was no anthem. Until the seventeenth century, Orthodox church songs were performed during state ceremonies and events of national importance. In the era of Peter the Great, during all sorts of celebrations, “viva cantas” began to be performed - patriotic chants interspersed with the singing “Many summers”. They were performed until the 1780s.

Throughout the eighteenth century, the anthem performed the medieval pan-European anthem "We praise you, God." It was performed after the victories of the Russian troops, at the end of solemn prayers and in the "royal" days of the imperial family. The oldest Russian Transfiguration March of Peter the Great, which was created closer to the end of the reign of Peter, adjoined the laudations and oratorios.

By the end of the nineteenth century, the Transfiguration March became the main one in Russia. Since 1917, this march for some time served as the national anthem.

The first official national anthem of Russia was the “Prayer of the Russians” to the words of A.V. Zhukovsky - "God save the Tsar!" September 19, 1816 "Prayer" was sung during the celebration of the anniversary of the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum with two additional verses composed by A.S. Pushkin. Then Alexander I issued a decree to perform the “Prayer of the Russians” by the regimental orchestra always at the meetings of the emperor.

The date of birth of the second official anthem of Russia - "God Save the Tsar" to the tune of A.F. Lviv - it was December 25, 1833, the day of the celebration of the anniversary of the expulsion of the French from Russia. This hymn existed until March 2, 1917, the day of the abdication of Emperor Nicholas II.

After the February Revolution of 1917, the Russian Marseillaise played the anthem for a short time. At the suggestion of V.I. Lenin "in the new conditions" of the "irreconcilable class struggle" instead of the "bourgeois" Marseillaise "began to use the" International. "January 10, 1918 at the Third Congress of Soviets, it was already performed as the anthem of the triumphant proletarian revolution.

On January 1, 1944, for the first time, the new national anthem “Union of the indestructible republics of the free” was sounded on the radio (music by A.V. Alexandrov, lyrics by S.V. Mikhalkov and G.A. El-Registan). By a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, the new anthem was approved from March 15, 1944 for widespread use.

In 1990, by decision of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR, a government commission was formed in Russia to create a new national anthem (co-chairs are Sergei Mikhalkov, Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation Evgeny Sidorov, chairman of the Union of Composers of Russia Vladislav Kazenin). The authorities approved M.I.'s "Patriotic song" as his music. Glinka. A competition was announced for the text of the anthem. According to the terms of the contest, poems were accepted from all citizens of Russia.

The Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of December 11, 1993 approved the Regulation on the State Anthem of the Russian Federation, on the basis of which the State anthem of the Russian Federation is a melody created on the basis of the "Patriotic Song" by M.I. Glinka arranged by A. Petrov.

The commission for the preparation of the new anthem announced a competition for its text; in total, over 6,000 texts were received by the commission. After a long work, we stopped at twenty, which were recorded on tape by the choral collective. After listening to these texts, the commission members came to the conclusion that none of the options voiced is suitable for the national anthem of Russia. The work of the commission was discontinued in 1996.

In January 1998, President of the Russian Federation Boris Yeltsin submitted to the State Duma a federal constitutional law “On the State Flag, Coat of Arms and Anthem of the Russian Federation”. The State Duma rejected the law already in first reading on January 23, 1998. The State Duma also rejected an alternative project "On the State Anthem of the Russian Federation", submitted by the Communist Party faction and providing for a return to the anthem to the music of A. Alexandrov, the anthem of the USSR.

At a meeting of the top leaders of the legislative and executive powers - the Quartet - on January 29, 1998, it was decided that it is currently advisable to remove the problem of legislative consolidation of state symbols from the agenda of domestic political life, since there are polar points of view in society and in parliament on this account. The issue of state symbols will be referred to a special commission "for a thorough study and preparation of proposals."

On December 4, 2000, Russian President Vladimir Putin introduced the draft federal constitutional law “On the National Anthem of the Russian Federation” along with federal laws on state symbols. Alexandrov’s music was proposed as a hymn. On December 8, 2000, the State Duma adopted in the first and third (bypassing the second, which allows the State Duma regulations) readings a draft constitutional law "On the National Anthem of the Russian Federation." On December 25, 2000, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin signed the federal constitutional law of the Russian Federation On the State Anthem of the Russian Federation, which entered into force on December 27, 2000.

In December 2000, a working group was formed to consider proposals for the text of the national anthem. Part working group   in particular, St. Petersburg Governor Vladimir Yakovlev, Minister of Culture Mikhail Shvydkoy, Chairman of the Duma Committee on Culture and Tourism Nikolay Gubenko, a number of State Duma deputies and members of the Federation Council, as well as the Presidential Administration are included.

On December 30, 2000, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the text of the national anthem of the Russian Federation. By decree, the President approved the text of the anthem, written by Sergei Mikhalkov.

In mid-January 2001, Vladimir Putin introduced the text of the State Anthem of Russia to the State Duma for consideration as a draft law "On Amendments and Additions to the Federal Constitutional Law" On the State Anthem of the Russian Federation.

On March 7, 2001, the State Duma adopted in the first, second and third, final reading, the bill introduced by the president on the text of the National Anthem to the words of Sergei Mikhalkov. On March 14, the bill was approved by the Federation Council, signed by President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin on March 22, 2001 No. 2 of the FKZ, and entered into force on March 24, 2001.

  STATE EMBLEM OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

The double-headed eagle as the emblem of the Moscow state first appeared on the seal of Ivan III in 1497 after his marriage to the Byzantine princess Sofya Paleolog: the image of the double-headed eagle (the coat of arms of Byzantium) was combined with the Moscow coat of arms, resulting in an eagle on one half of the coat of arms, and a horseman on the other trampling a dragon.

Subsequently, changes were made to the coat of arms. On the seals of Tsar Ivan IV the Terrible, the image of George the Victorious, the symbol of Moscow princes, began to be placed on the chest of the eagle. Since 1625, under Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich, three crowns appeared over the heads of the eagle. After the foundation of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called by Peter the Great, a chain with the order sign was included in the coat of arms. Under Paul I, the image of the Maltese cross was also added to the coat of arms.

A large-scale reform of the coat of arms was carried out by Alexander I - in 1825 the state eagle was given not a heraldic, but a completely arbitrary form. This eagle had widely spread wings and held thunderbolts and a torch in the right paw, intertwined with ribbons, and a laurel crown in the left. The dynastic Andreev chain disappeared, and on the chest of the eagle appeared an unconventional (heart-shaped) shield, pointed up, with the Moscow coat of arms. Emperor Nicholas I already in 1830 returned to the traditional emblem, but supplemented it with the arms of the kingdoms that make up the Russian Empire. The shields of these emblems were located on the open wings of an eagle.

The reign of Alexander II was marked by a new reform of the coat of arms. It was a purely heraldic reform - the emblem's drawing was brought into line with the international rules of heraldry. In 1882, a strict hierarchy of the coat of arms was established - the Large, Medium and Small state emblems of the Russian Empire. From this time until February 1917, the image of the coat of arms becomes unshakable.

After the February Revolution of 1917, the imperial double-headed eagle, but without crowns, appeared on the press and banknotes of the Provisional Government. The decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of November 10, 1917 "On the destruction of estates and civil ranks" abolished the Russian insignia, orders, flag and coat of arms.

On November 5, 1990, the Government of the RSFSR adopted a resolution establishing the State Emblem and the State Flag of the RSFSR. A Government Commission was created to organize this work. After extensive discussion, the commission proposed recommending the Government a white-blue-red flag and coat of arms - a golden double-headed eagle on a red field. The final restoration of these symbols took place in 1993, when they were approved by the Decrees of President B. Yeltsin as the state flag and coat of arms: November 30, 1993, President of the Russian Federation B.N. Yeltsin signed the Decree "On the State Emblem of the Russian Federation." According to the Regulation on the coat of arms, it is “an image of a golden double-headed eagle placed on a red heraldic shield; above the eagle are three historical crowns of Peter the Great (above the heads are two small and above them are one larger); in the paws of the eagle are a scepter and orb "on the chest of an eagle on a red shield is a horseman striking a dragon with a spear."

On December 4, 2000, Russian President Vladimir Putin introduced the draft federal constitutional law "On the State Emblem of the Russian Federation" along with a number of bills on state symbols. A double-headed golden eagle against the background of a red shield was proposed as a coat of arms. On December 8, the State Duma adopted in the first and third (bypassing the second, which allows the State Duma regulations) readings a draft law "On the State Emblem of the Russian Federation." On December 25, 2000, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin signed the federal constitutional law of the Russian Federation “On the State Emblem of the Russian Federation” (No. FKZ-2); the law entered into force on the day it was published — December 27, 2000.

In accordance with the law, the State Emblem of the Russian Federation is a quadrangular, with rounded lower corners, pointed at the tip, a red heraldic shield with a golden double-headed eagle, which raised its spread wings. The eagle is crowned with two small and one large crowns connected by a ribbon. In the right paw of the eagle is the scepter, in the left - the power. On the eagle’s chest, in a red shield, there is a silver horseman riding to the left on a silver horse in a blue cloak, striking with a silver spear a black knocked over backward horse and trampled by a horse, also facing left.

The golden double-headed eagle on the red field preserves historical continuity in the color scheme of the coats of arms of the late XV - XVII century. The drawing of the eagle goes back to the images on the monuments of the era of Peter the Great. Above the heads of the eagle, three historical crowns of Peter the Great are depicted, symbolizing in the new conditions the sovereignty of both the entire Russian Federation and its parts, constituent entities of the Federation; in the clutches - a scepter and power, personifying state power and a single state; on the chest is an image of a horseman striking a dragon with a spear. This is one of the ancient symbols of the struggle between good and evil, light and darkness, the defense of the Fatherland. The restoration of the double-headed eagle as the State Emblem of Russia personifies the continuity and continuity of Russian history. Today’s coat of arms of Russia is a new coat of arms, but its components are deeply traditional; it reflects the different stages of Russian history, and continues them on the eve of the third millennium.

In memory of free antiquity,
In the hour of adversity - the honor of freedom
Your sons defend.
