Light blue and white flag country7/21/2023 ![]() The flag of free Russia is freed from associations with imperialism, militarism, and authoritarian leaders of our country. The white-blue-white flag is a symbol of Russia, which does not parasitize on the symbols of the past. The Novgorod Republic did not have a flag in the modern sense of the word, so we borrow colors from the flag of Veliky Novgorod. One of the oldest cities in Russia was the center of the Novgorod Republic, the only proto-democratic state formation in the history of our country. The white-blue-white flag is similar to the symbolics of Veliky Novgorod. White color symbolizes peace, purity, prudence, and azure (blue) is for truth and justice. ![]() Azure color is a symbol of hope and faith in the future. The early nineties were an unstable economic and political period in the history of our country, but it was then that Russians believed that our country had embarked on the path of democracy. The azure stripe could be seen on the flag of Russia from 1991 to 1993 until it was replaced with a vigorous blue. Often, not only the red stripe on the flag of modern Russia is replaced with white, but also the blue one with azure. We are opening a new page in the history of Russia, Russia that respects human rights and freedom of speech. In the Russia of the future, there is no place for autocracy, militarism, or the cult of violence and blood. Russians who come out to protest under the flag of free Russia are refusing military expansion and rejecting claims on the territory of foreign states. We have replaced the bloody stripe with a white one, because we stand for peace with Ukraine and demand respect for human rights in our country. The flag of free Russia is similar to the current Russian flag, but it does not have red, a symbol of war and blood. Why exactly white-blue-white (white-azure-white)?ĭespite everything, we are Russians who cannot give up self-identification. We also support Russians within our country who cannot participate in protests without risking income, peace, freedom, health and life. ![]() We stand under the flag of a peaceful and free Russia in order to express our anti-war position and show up under a common banner. We need a symbol that unites Russians who are against political repression, censorship, war and the violation of Ukraine's sovereignty. We, the citizens of Russia, who do not support the authoritarian regime and the military, cannot use it. The white-blue-red flag that is currently used by the government of the Russian Federation has become a symbol of blood, war and aggression. The very next day after the first mention on social networks, Russians abroad took to peaceful protests with a white-blue-white flag instead of the official Russian flag. The flag was coined by an online community opposing the Russian army's invasion of Ukraine at the end of February 2022. The white-blue-white (white-azure-white) flag is a symbol of the free Russia of the future. ![]()
