In Russia, flags and banners were called banners, since the army was attached to them. Under Ivan the Terrible, the banners could reach three meters in length. We recall the banners under which we went to battle in the pre-Petrine times.
Traditional for Russia - red. For many centuries, the squads fought under the banners of the wedge-shaped form, with tops in the form of a spear with a crossbar, that is, in the form of a cross. Svyatoslav the Great, Dmitry Donskoy, Ivan the Terrible led the troops under the red flags.
The naive version is that there were no flags in Russia until the second half of the 17th century, and the Dutch invented them. About the first flags in Russia, we get information already from the chronicle "The Tale of Bygone Years".
1. Russian Banner
In Russia, instead of the words “flag” and “banner” the word “banner” was used, since under him the army. The flag marked the middle of a huge army. He was guarded by warriors - styagovniki. From afar, it was clear whether the squad suffered defeat (the lanes fell) or the battle was successful (the banner “stretched like clouds”). The shape of the rod was not rectangular, but in the form of a trapezium. The banner of the banner could be with three, two, but more often with one triangular wedge of matter.
As a rule, the princely army had several military banners, which it was necessary to assemble under a sound signal. Sound signals were given by pipes and tambourines. The chronicle story about the Lipitsk battle of 1216 states that Prince Yury Vsevolodovich had “17 banners and 40 pipes, as many tambourines”, his brother Prince Yaroslav Vsevolodovich had “13 banners, and pipes and tambourines 60”.

2. Russian Gonfalon
In the XII century, in the famous "Lay of Igor's Regiment," one more designation of the military banner is mentioned - banner. The banner is not a means of controlling the army, but a symbol of the state, of power. Now, victory is marked by hoisting the banners on the city walls and gates of the enemy.
From the descriptions of the banners given in “The Tale of the Mamai Massacre”, it follows that the saints were depicted on Russian military flags, which were hardly mentioned in the earlier period. Before one of these banners, starting the battle, Prince Dmitry Ivanovich Donskoy fell to his knees to pray for victory over the Tatars.
In the "Tale" it is described very figuratively: "The great prince, seeing his shelves decently arranged, got off his horse and fell on his knees right in front of a large regiment with a black banner on which the image of the Lord of our Lord Jesus Christ was embroidered and from the depths of the soul began to cry out loud "... After the prayer in front of the banner, the grand prince rode over the regiments, turning to the Russian soldiers with a heartfelt speech, in which he called" without confusion, "to stand firmly behind the Russian land.

3. Russian flag
The banner comes from the word "sign", these are banners with the image of Orthodox figures - George, Christ, the Virgin Mary. Since ancient times, the grand dukes went on campaigns under such banners. The feudal lords of Western Europe carried personal emblems on their banners, the emblems of the ruling clans were quite secular symbolic signs. Russia turned to God, to the Most Holy Theotokos, to the patron saints - “assistants in the army”, because it was thanks to Orthodoxy that the Russians managed to resist the centuries-old foreign yoke. Similar appeals to heavenly patrons, the intercessors of the Russian land, also carried banners accompanying the Russian princes in their military campaigns. And the image of the Most Gracious Savior, for example, on the banner of Dmitry Donskoy is not accidental.

4. Joshua on the banner
The white banner of the Grand Duke of Moscow Vasily III, father of Ivan the Terrible, depicted the biblical commander Joshua. One hundred years later, Joshua appeared on a crimson cloth of the banner of Prince Dmitry Pozharsky, which is kept in the Armory. It is rectangular, two-sided: on one side is the Almighty - Jesus Christ, whose right hand is in a gesture of blessing, the left holds the Gospel. The image is bordered by texts of Scripture. On the reverse side of the banner, Joshua bowed his knees before Archangel Michael, the archangel of the heavenly host, and the inscription on the edge of the banner explains the meaning of the biblical story.

5. Great Banner Ivan the Terrible
Under Ivan the Terrible, the attitude towards flags became not only respectful, but sacred. Behind each of them stood a story, victories, feats and lives. They were told about them "with that banner the Tsar and the Grand Duke of All Russia subjugated the Kazan Khanate to the Russian state and defeated numerous Basurmanian peoples." Flags were created from expensive fabrics, with artful embroidery in gold or silver on silk. Often the banner was trimmed with a border or fringe. The flags of Ivan the Terrible reached a length of 3 meters, in height - 1.5. To carry the banner were appointed two or three people. The lower end of the shaft of such a banner was sharp, so that the banner could be stuck into the ground.
Description of the Great Banner Ivna IV: “Built” is from a Chinese taffeta with a single slope. The middle is azure (light blue), the slope is sugar (white), the border around the cowberry-colored cloth, and around the escarpment - poppy. A circle of dark blue taffeta is sewn into the azure middle, and in the circle - an image of the Savior in white clothes, on a white horse. Along the circumference of the circle are golden cherubim and seraphim, to the left of the circle and under it are the heavenly host in white robes, on white horses. A circle of white taffeta is sewn in the slope, and in the circle is the holy Archangel Michael on a golden winged horse, holding a sword in his right hand, and a cross in his left. Both the middle and the escarpment are covered with gold stars and crosses.
Under this banner in 1552, the Russian regiments marched beneath him on the victorious assault of Kazan. In the chronicle entry about the siege of Kazan by Ivan the Terrible (1552) it says: "and the sovereign Herugwy ordered the deployment of the Christian, that is, the banner, on them the image of our Lord Jesus Christ, without hands," This flag and a half century was accompanied by the Russian army. Under Tsarina Sofia Alekseevna, it was in the Crimean campaigns, and under Peter I - in the Azov campaign and at war with the Swedes. there was a banner.
6. Banners according to the rank of holy icons
In the seventeenth century. The father of Peter the Great, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, went to Smolensk, Vilna and Riga under a large banner of crimson-colored taffeta with the face of Jesus Christ on it. The banner is a real work of art, executed with the finest embroidery, and the image of the Savior is expressively close to icon painting. Great honors were given to these banners. They were consecrated by the patriarch according to the rank of holy icons.

7. First State Flag
In the picture: The squad of Oleg Oleg storming Constantinople under the red banner.
The first flag of Russia was a red flag. Under the red cloth, the campaigns of Gostomysl, Oleg the Wise and Svyatoslav went on campaigns. The flag under which Svyatoslav smashed the Khazars had on him an image of a bident. With the adoption of Christianity, the two-prong was replaced by a cross on Calvary. During the period of feudal fragmentation, each principality had its own flag. The first attempt to introduce the All-Russian flag was a banner with the face of Christ. Under this flag, Dmitry Donskoy won the Battle of Kulikovo.
In Ancient Rus, banners could be of different shapes. Spreads in the form of an elongated triangle were spread. There were also spread-wounded banners with long shoots sewn to them - braids (or trunks), which fluttered in the wind, creating a special mood.
The red flag of the Slavs from ancient times was fanned by military glory and military prowess in the defense of the Russian Land against invasions by invaders. Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy fought with the enemies of Russia under the red banner. For a long time, the Slavs "red color" symbolized the beauty of the Universal Light, which in the mythology of the Slavs manifested itself in the image of the Solar Energy Yaryla. One of the images of Yarila (the Sun) was the name of Kolyada (Khors). Horse (the baby - the Sun) was responsible in Russia for the sunny (good) mood, which was supposed to be present at all the holidays. It was not by chance that a red shirt, a red caftan, and a red sundress were considered festive colors.
Thus, the red color was not only the color of the sun and beauty. It was the color of truth and justice, the color of the righteous life of the Slavs. With the beginning of the planting of serfdom in Russia, the flag is changed. At the same time, not only the symbolism of the Byzantine power, but the immoral way of life of exploiting one another, is adopted in the West.
The double-headed eagle on a white background is a symbol of Byzantine power.
For the first time the white-blue-red flag was raised on the first Russian military ship "Eagle", launched in 1667 by Peter I. It is noteworthy that the Russian fleet under the tricolor (white-blue-red flag) was defeated by the Swedes. Russia under this state symbol suffered a defeat in the Russian-Swedish (Northern) War. Only with the refusal of the failed state symbol in the form of a white-blue-red flag, the situation in the military field has changed for the better.
From this point on, the white-blue-red flag is transferred to the jurisdiction of the Russian merchant fleet. And as such, this symbol until February 1917. Peter I had long been looking for his symbol for Russia in the form of the flag of the Russian Empire. And in the end, the choice stops on a black-yellow-white flag, which existed until the February bourgeois revolution, paid for by the big capital of England. From this moment on, the Social Revolutionaries, who sold themselves to English bankers, return the white-blue-red flag to Russia as the state symbol. By a strange coincidence, big troubles are raining down in Russia in the form of famine and complete socio-economic disruption. The country was on the verge of complete ruin and redistribution of territory by the Western powers. The Bolsheviks intervened in the situation of anarchy, who choose the ancient symbol of the Slavs (the Red flag) as their symbol.
Under the revived symbol of Russia, the RSDLP (b) party is trying to lead the country out of the socio-economic crisis. The basis of appeals V.I. Ulyanov (Lenin) are the foundations of the veche democracy. The essence of this revival are the Soviets of People’s and Soldiers' Deputies. At the heart of the socialist construction put ancient symbols of the power of the Slavs - "Truth - Justice - Loyalty", "Equality - Freedom - Brotherhood". Under this flag, the RSA of the RSFSR defeated the imperialists and the Socialist-Revolutionaries, who received funding from England through American banks.
By a decree of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of April 1, 1937, a new sample of the image of the national flag of the RSFSR was developed, designed on behalf of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee by artist A. Milkin. In contrast to the flag of the RSFSR of the previous model, the new flag did not have a roof circled with gold lines, and the abbreviation of the name of the republic was applied in normal type, without dividing points.
On January 20, 1947, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, by its decree “On the State Flags of the Union Republics”, recognized it expedient to make changes in the national flags of the Union SSRs so that the state flags of the Union SSRs reflect the idea of a union Soviet state and the national characteristics of the republics. The emblem of the USSR was placed on the flags — a sickle and a hammer with a red five-pointed star, while maintaining the basic red color of the cloth, and other colors were introduced in addition to the main red color, the national ornament was included. By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet 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 in the full width of the flag, which is one-eighth of the flag's length. In the upper left corner of the red cloth were depicted golden sickle and hammer, and above them a red five-pointed star, framed by a golden border.
The red flag at all times on the Russian Land was a symbol of Victory. And it seems not by chance that the greatest battle on a world scale was held under his symbol. The peoples of the USSR survived in the fight against fascism and the Red Banner of the USSR became a symbol of the Great Victory on May 9, 1945.
Whether historical justice will prevail in relation to the most ancient symbol of Russia - a symbol of victory over the enemies of Russia, a symbol of beauty and spilled blood on the battlefields, time will tell ...
