Meaning of the flag of Russia
The tricolor dates back to the late 17th century, when it flew on Russian merchant ships in the time of Peter the Great. It was replaced by the red Soviet flag after the 1917 revolution and brought back in 1991, as the Soviet Union came to an end. The colors have no official meaning, though they are often linked to nobility, faithfulness and courage.
