Prepare a story about flags 1 2. Russian flag. The meaning of the flag for the state

Throughout the second half of the 19th century, historians debated which flag should be considered national: white-blue-red or black-yellow-white. The issue was officially resolved on April 28, 1883 (on May 7, 1883, this decision was included in the Collection of Legalizations of the Russian Empire.), When Alexander III, inclined to Russophilia, ordered to use exclusively white and blue -Red flag.

These colors are also used in Pan-Slavic flags. It is believed that it was the Russian flag that was the prototype for many flags, the main national composition of which is the Slavic peoples. It is customary to refer to the Pan-Slavic flags: the flag of Slovakia, the flag of Slovenia, the flag of the Czech Republic, the flag of Serbia, the flag of Croatia.

The flag of Russia is included in the State Heraldic Register Russian Federation at number 2.

For desecration of the flag, the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Article 329 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for up to two years.

The flag of the Tsar of Moscow was used in 1693 during the journey of Peter the Great. Currently, the original of this flag is kept in the Central Naval Museum under number 10556.

The flag is a rectangular cloth with an aspect ratio of 46x49. In fact, the proportions are closer to the square.

After the defeat of Peter the Great at Narva in 1700, the sovereign decided to completely abandon the traditions of waging war in the Russian army. Foreign officers were no longer admitted to important posts; they are no longer trusted with important information; the army was modernized at an accelerated pace. The Tsar of Moscow flag was no longer used - it was replaced by the Tsar's standard.

The standard has completely changed its color scheme. The background of the flag has turned yellow. In its beaks and claws, the eagle held pieces of a map on which were depicted the seas to which Russia had access (Black, Caspian, Baltic, White).

Russian commercial flag of 1709

Flag Russian Empire was approved by the Naval Regulations on January 13, 1720, although it had already been used for 11 years before.

This flag was introduced into use on August 12, 1914 by circular number 29897 of the Ministry of the Interior. A golden square with the image of the state eagle was added to the roof of the flag. This element was similar to the emperor's palace standard. The flag was introduced for general use by citizens of the Russian Empire.

The symbolism of the flag indicated the unity of the tsar with the people.

The image of this flag could be found on rare photographs or postcards.

Flags of the RSFSR during the existence of the USSR

During the Second World War, the Vlasov formations used the white-blue-red tricolor as the flag of the new order in Russia.

The flag mainly differs from the modern version in shades of blue and red, as well as in proportion. This version used an aspect ratio of 1: 2.

On November 5, 1990, the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR adopted a resolution on organizing work on the creation of a new flag and coat of arms of the RSFSR, instructing the Committee on Archives under the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR to develop a new concept of official state symbols, as well as, together with the Ministry of Culture of the RSFSR, to submit drafts of a new coat of arms and flag of the RSFSR ... It began to be widely used during the "August putsch". Discontinued in 1993.

Day of the State Flag of the Russian Federation

Annually on August 22, Russia celebrates the Day of the State Flag of the Russian Federation, established on the basis of the 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 over the White House in Moscow for the first time, replacing the red flag with a hammer and sickle as the state symbol.

History:

The national flag in Russia appeared at the turn of the 17th-18th centuries, during the era of the formation of Russia as a powerful state. For the first time, the white-blue-red flag was raised on the first Russian warship "Eagle", during the reign of the father of Peter I, Alexei Mikhailovich. "Eagle" sailed under a new banner for a short time: after descending the Volga to Astrakhan, it was burned there by the rebellious peasants of Stepan Razin. Peter I was recognized as the legal father of the tricolor. On January 20, 1705, he issued a decree, according to which "all merchant ships" should raise a white-blue-red flag, he himself drew a pattern and determined the order of the horizontal stripes.

In different variations the three-stripe flag also adorned warships until 1712 when the Andreevsky flag was established in the navy. In 1858, Alexander II approved the drawing "with the arrangement of the emblem of the black-yellow-white colors of the Empire on the banners, flags and other items for decoration on the streets at solemn occasions." A January 1, 1865 a personal decree of Alexander II was issued, in which colors black, orange (gold) and white already straight named "state colors of Russia". The black-yellow-white flag lasted until 1883. April 28, 1883 The order of Alexander III was announced, which said: "So that on 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: the upper one is white, the middle one is blue and the lower one is 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 came to the conclusion 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 ones." The three colors of the national flag received an official interpretation. Red meant "statehood", blue - the color of the Mother of God, under whose cover Russia is, white - the color of freedom and independence. These colors also meant the commonwealth of White, Small and Great Russia.

August 22, 1991 An extraordinary session of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR decided to consider the official symbol of Russia tricolor, and by the 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, which says: “In connection with the restoration of the historic Russian tricolor state flag on August 22, 1991, fanned by the glory of many generations of Russians, and in order to educate current and future generations of Russian citizens a respectful attitude to state symbols, I decree: Establish a holiday - the Day of the State Flag of the Russian Federation and celebrate it on August 22 ”.

On 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 top one is white, the middle one is blue and the bottom one is red.

Many symbolic meanings are attributed to the colors of the Russian flag. Currently, there is 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 - nobility and frankness;
• blue - loyalty, honesty, impeccability and chastity;
• red - courage, boldness, generosity and love.

For the world around us, in the textbook for grade 2, there was a task to prepare a report on the state flag of Russia (or about other state symbols: coat of arms, anthem, but my daughter chose the flag). Here is such a report with visual support, we got it.

In the course of the report, illustrations with the abstracts of the report are displayed on an interactive whiteboard.

Russian flag- its official state symbol, along with the coat of arms and anthem. It is a rectangular panel of three equal horizontal stripes: the top one is white, the middle one is blue and the bottom one is red.

How the tricolor appeared in Russia? Until the 17th century, Russia did not have a state flag. The flag appeared during the time of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich (father of Peter 1) in connection with the birth of the Russian fleet.

the tricolor appeared in Russia under Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich

In 1668, the Dutch engineer David Butler, by order of the tsar, built the first Russian warship "Eagle". The question arose as to which flag to raise on the ship. They asked Butler. The engineer replied that the flag of his native Netherlands has three stripes: red, white and blue. Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich ordered to order the same fabrics for his cloth. But the order of the stripes on the Russian flag changed: a white stripe was located at the top, then a blue and a red one.

1. Most state flags are 2: 3 or 1: 2 rectangles. However, a couple of European states: the Vatican (speaks Italian) and Switzerland (speaks Italian, German, French) have square flags, while Nepal owns a flag made up of two triangles fused together, one on top of the other, and Ohio ( USA, English) adopted a flag similar to the letter M turned 90 degrees to the right, just like a children's flag.

2. Same frags. The flags of Monaco and Indonesia use the same state symbols: red and white horizontal stripes. In 1945, the government of Monaco opposed the adoption of the red and white bicolor by independent Indonesia, but their protest was rejected, since the Indonesians proved that their flag was ancient in origin.

3. The most popular colors of national flags are red, white and blue. Of these three favorites, the flags of Russia, France, the United States, SQUiSI (Great Britain), Australia, NZ, the Netherlands (Holland), Serbia, Thailand and many others are entirely composed.


The less popular trinity is yellow, black, and green. They are present (along with the first) in the flags of Spain, Germany, Italy, the Vatican.


4. The simplest (one-color) flag until October 2011 was the flag of Libya, but with the fall of the Gaddafi regime, the completely green rectangle has ceased to be a state symbol, so the place is currently vacant.

5. Most volatile flag. The colors on the flag of the Philippines change places: in wartime, the upper stripe is red, the lower one is blue.

6. Constellation of the Southern Cross. The most famous constellation of the southern night sky, visible only below the equator, is depicted on several flags at once: Brazil, Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, Samoa, Tokelau.


The constellation of the Big Dipper flaunts on the flag of Alaska. The moon (crescent) is mainly present on the flags of Muslim (professing Islam) states: Turkey, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Algeria, Mauritania, Singapore, Malaysia, Pakistan, Tunisia.

The sun is on the flags of various countries and can take the form of both faces with rays, in Argentina and Uruguay (they speak Spanish), or just a circle (Japan, Bangladesh, Niger), and on the flag of Guinea the sun appears as a yellow stripe standing vertically between red and green. Kiribati, Malawi, Taiwan (Republic of China, not to be confused with "people's" - PRC) also chose a star named Sun as their symbol.


7. The Scandinavian cross is seen on the flags of the Nordic countries (where the Vikings lived) such as Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Finland, Sweden, as well as the micronation of Ladonia.

8. Inscriptions. On the flags of Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, the Arabic script is present. The Brazilian flag carries the motto in Portuguese and Haiti in French, Baileyza and San Marino (speaks Italian) in Latin. The inscriptions in Spanish are usually so small on the scale of the flag that they are almost invisible, but they are present in the flags of Spain itself, Bolivia, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Equatorial Guinea, El Salvador, and the coat of arms of Venezuela, which (sometimes!) Falls on it flag.

9. "Hammer and sickle" is still used in heraldic symbols, for example, on the flag of the unrecognized Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR) and the Vladimir and Bryansk regions of Russia. And another symbol similar to it can be seen on the flag of Angola. The flag of Mozambique carries a Kalashnikov assault rifle.

10. Double-sided flag. In Paraguay (speaks Spanish), the flag has two sides. On the obverse there is a star and the inscription "Republica del Paraguay", on the reverse - a lion and the slogan "Paz Y Justicia" - "Peace and Justice".

Flags differ not only in colors, but also in proportions. The width and length of the panel is usually determined by the laws of the country. In addition to images, shapes and stripes of various colors, they can also contain inscriptions.

Each color on the flag is symbolic, it reveals a certain phenomenon or historical fact. One of the most striking examples is in Kenya, where the Masai shield is taken as a basis. The red color on it symbolizes the blood shed by the people in the struggle for independence, black - the actual black population of the country, white speaks of peace, green - of the country's rich natural resources.

The most depressing color - black - has a rather gloomy interpretation on flags as well. He usually talks about tragic events in the history of the country: for example, brutal wars. African countries are an exception to this rule: state flags indigenous people are denoted in a similar way. And also - the Bahamas, where the black triangle proclaims the unity of the people.

The flag of the Philippines can be flown as usual - blue stripe upside down - or upside down. In the latter case, it becomes a sign that a war has begun.

All flags of the world, and there are more than 500 of them, are rectangles or squares. Except Nepali: it resembles two merged triangles. Each of them denotes a dynasty that rules the kingdom.

In Denmark, there is a law according to which a person is responsible for the burning of any flag of the world and for other desecration against him. But this rule does not apply to Danish.

British submarines, rising to the surface, sometimes hang out pirate flags. But this does not mean at all that sea robbers swim on them. In the First World War, when submarines were tested, the English Admiral A. Wilson met the appearance new technology very hostile. He said that the submarines are fighting a dishonest war, and the captives from the enemy submarines should be hanged like pirates. Comparison with pirates really liked the British themselves. Even today, returning from each successfully completed mission, divers often parade the Jolly Roger.

On the flag of the Chelyabinsk region, located far from southern latitudes, you can see an image of a white camel loaded with luggage. There is no mistake here, because it was through these lands that numerous trade caravans passed through these lands in the 19th century, and it was no wonder for the Urals to see camels.

In Saudi Arabia, the flag is never lowered as a sign of mourning.

The image of the future flag of Alaska was suggested by a 13-year-old teenager. And the current arrangement of stars on the US flag (after Alaska and Hawaii joined the States) is an 18-year-old boy Robert Heft. Moreover, the school teacher, to whom the guy showed his work, did not like it: Robert was not given more than "four with a minus". The teacher promised that he would change the grade if the US congressmen approve this project. Congressmen approved, and the assessment had to be revised.

Canada could have a beaver instead of a maple leaf. It was he who in the 19th century was considered their main symbol by Canadians. But since a canvas depicting a beaver would have looked quite comical and certainly not solemn, they remembered another symbol, which, by and large, was not even a symbol: about the sugar maple. But the maple leaf depicted on the flag of Canada does not exist in nature. This sheet has 27 sharp protrusions, in the figure there are only 11.
