Handwritten drawing of Peter I, the “father” of the Russian tricolor, in the Presidential Library stock

The history of the Russian state flag is not simple, and there are still white spots in it. Old editions and modern audiovisual materials presented on the portal of the Presidential Library tell a lot of interesting things about the Russian flag, the day of which is celebrated in our country on August 22.

On January 20, 1705, Peter I issued a decree according to which a white-blue-red flag should be hoisted on all merchant ships, he himself drew a pattern and determined the order of horizontal stripes. The handwritten drawing of Tsar Peter Alekseevich was published in the book by P. I. Belavenets “A Brief Note on the Old Russian Banners” (1911), an electronic copy of which is presented on the portal of the Presidential Library.

Initially, during the reign of Peter I’s father Alexei Mikhailovich, Belavenets reports in another book – “The flag of the Tsar of Moscow, kept in the cathedral of the mountains. Arkhangelsk since 1693” (1910) from the Presidential Library’s stock, “The Tsar ordered to release “kindyaks and taffeta (various types of fabric) of worm, white and azure” on banners and yalovchiks, i.e. red, white and blue … These colors have been preserved to this day as the colors of the national flag. They were chosen in 1668 and have never been canceled since,” emphasizes Belavenets. In the studies of Russian authors, it was suggested that this flag of three horizontal stripes with the image of a golden double-headed eagle in the center was adopted in imitation of the Dutch one, because it was there that Peter became a ship master and tried to learn a lot from this European country. Until now, however, there is no consensus on this issue among historians and heraldists.

Belavenets writes that there was a period when Peter I himself replaced the tricolor with another banner. The reason, however, was weighty: in 1709, after the Battle of Poltava, the Moscow kingdom began to be called the Russian Empire. In the table of flags of the whole world of that period, for the first time, a Russian standard of a new type is found – a yellow flag with a black double-headed eagle, on the chest of which St. George piercing a dragon is depicted in a white shield. According to the heraldist V. E. Belinsky, this was the personal initiative of the tsar. In his work “The Russian National Flag and Its Reform”, which can be found in the electronic reading room of the Presidential Library or the remote access center, the following assumption was made:

“Peter the Great, who loved to create and introduce various innovations, being greatly carried away by his passionate nature, could, in the field of national differences, wish to “renew” the old system that he did not like and give the new Empire he was creating – a new emblem, new colors and appearance, which should henceforth apparently and instructively to distinguish (allegorically) the new era from the old, completely rejected by him. The emperor did not accidentally propose a “new old” version. “Seeking the correct Russian state colors historically, one should turn to the coat of arms, banner and symbolic accessories of state clothes, that is, to the uniforms and cockade of the Russian state. These are historical sources, and in Russia they are much older than the arbitrary above-mentioned colors of merchants, merchants, given by Peter to merchant ships, – E. Voronets echoes Belavenets in his historical and legal study “What colors are established by history and Russian laws for a distinctively Russian all-class and state flag?” “Flags of red, blue and white are the ancient Dutch and French state colors, and in Russia they are legalized only for some commercial ships.”

E. Voronets, referring to Yazykov’s research, insists on the combination of black, yellow and white on the cloth of the Russian flag, criticizing the position of V.I. readers at the word “flag” like this: “All the peoples of Europe know their colors, suits, paints – we (that is, Russians) do not know them . ..” Meanwhile, much earlier Dal, Mr. Yazykov wrote: “We wish our Kingdom, which retained so much specialness, retained the signs expressing our national color: black, orange (gold) and white (silver) “.

In 1864, the above colors were combined on a ribbon for a medal and were recognized as the colors of the Russian state. And only in 1896 the status of the only state flag of the Russian Empire was finally assigned to the white-blue-red flag. This fact was described by P. I. Belavenets in his work “Colors of the Russian State National Flag”: “A special meeting on establishing the colors of the national flag … in its final decision, spoke in favor of the colors white-blue-red, completely rejecting the combination of colors black-yellow-white , finding that the latter colors “have neither heraldic nor historical basis”. It was at this time that the three colors of the flag, which became national, received an official interpretation. White symbolized freedom and independence, blue – the color of the Mother of God, who patronized Russia, and red meant sovereignty.

As you can see, during the formation and development of our state, the flag has changed several times. Each Russian ruler brought something of his own to Russian symbols. Only in 1896, on the eve of the coronation of Nicholas II, was the white-blue-red flag finally approved as the national one. Since 1918, our country has lived under a red flag, and on August 22, 1991, a white-blue-red flag (tricolor) appeared again on Krasnopresnenskaya embankment. On this day, the extraordinary session of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR decided to consider it the official symbol of Russia.

In addition to electronic copies of rare books, the Presidential Library’s portal also presents modern audiovisual materials. Everyone can get acquainted with the informative video lecture by G. V. Kalashnikov, Candidate of Historical Sciences, Executive Secretary of the Heraldic Council under the President of the Russian Federation. In addition, illustrations from the “Album of Standards, Flags and Pennants of the Russian Empire and Foreign States” (1890), as well as the “Album of Flags and Pennants of the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic, Union Soviet Republics and Foreign States” (1923).

You can read about the meaning of the official state symbols in the section “Symbols of State Power” of one of the four basic collections of the Presidential Library “State Power”.

Day of the State Flag of Russia – St. Petersburg State University of Telecommunications. prof. M.A. Bonch-Bruyevich

On August 22, 1991, the tricolor Russian flag was officially hoisted over the White House in Moscow for the first time, replacing the red flag with the hammer and sickle. On this day, at the Extraordinary Session of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, a resolution was adopted to consider it the official national flag of Russia. Soon after that, in 1994, a new holiday appeared in our country – the Day of the State Flag of the Russian Federation, which since then has been celebrated at the end of every summer.

It is believed that for the first time the white-blue-red flag was raised during the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich on the first Russian warship “Orel”, but Peter I was recognized as the legitimate “father” of the tricolor, who on January 31, 1705 issued a Decree according to which “on trade all courts ”should raise a white-blue-red flag, he himself drew a pattern and determined the order of the horizontal stripes. However, the flag acquired official status only in 1896, when on the eve of the coronation of Nicholas II, the Ministry of Justice determined that the national color should “definitely be considered white-blue-red, and no other.”

In April 1918, the Soviet government decided to abolish the tricolor and replace it with a revolutionary red flag, and for more than 70 years the red banner was the state flag. On August 22, 1991, the Russian parliamentarians canceled the verdict of the communists, thanks to which the historical banner took its place of honor in the official and solemn events of the Russian Federation.

Today, the Russian flag, along with the coat of arms and the anthem, is a symbol of statehood and personifies the power and greatness of our Fatherland. The Russian flag is not only one of the most important attributes of our country, it is a particle of its glorious centuries-old chronicle, a link between the past and the future. The legendary tricolor is covered with centuries-old glory, great victories, scientific discoveries, cultural achievements, military and labor feats of many generations of the multinational Russian people and is recognizable all over the world as the flag of a strong and independent country with a rich history and statehood traditions.
