Flag of Russia - Official National Symbol and Design #3241293 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of Russia consists of three equal horizontal stripes-white, blue, and red-adopted in its current form in 1991 after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Its origins trace back to the 17th-century Tsardom of Russia, when Peter the Great introduced a similar tricolor based on Dutch maritime flags; the colors symbolize nobility (white), faithfulness (blue), and courage (red). The flag is used officially in state institutions, diplomatic missions, and international events.
