The blue color stands for the faithfulness and honesty of the people of Russia. The red color symbolizes the courage and the love of the Russian people. The white color stands for the frankness and nobility of the Russian citizens. The flag has a width-to-length ratio of 2:3. </p><h3>History of the Flag of Russia </h3><p>Over Russia's history, several flags have been flown within the Russian nation. One of the oldest banners the Russian army used was the banner of Ivan the terrible, whose rule over the entire country lasted from 1547 to 1584. The banner outlasted his rule as it would later be used by other rulers such as Tsarina Sophia Alekseevna and Peter the Great in different campaigns. Another military banner that was used in Russia's history belonged to Dmitry Pozharsky and was used by the Nizhny Novgorod militia. During the reign of Peter the Great, the flag of Moscow's Tsar was first raised on a ship. The flag at this point was comprised of three colors blue, red, and white. The colors chosen were of great significance as the red symbolized the Russian citizens, the blue symbolized the Russian monarch, and the white represented God. The colors used in the flag were a significant source of inspiration for the Pan-Slavic colors. The tricolor flag was regularly used on Russian ships and in 1883 was officially approved for land use. In 1896, the flag was formally adopted as Russia's national flag and would remain in use until the October Revolution. After the Tsar's government was overthrown, a new Soviet flag was introduced which was closely associated with the communist government. After the Soviet Union collapsed, the Soviet flag was replaced with the tricolor flag that had previously been used in Russia. One of the significant events that led to the flag being changed was an attempted coup by hardliners in the communist party who questioned Mikhail Gorbachev's policies. The modern-day flag differs from the traditional flag primarily in the proportions of the stripes. </p> </section> <section class="mod_slider_wrapper"> <h3 id="history" class="anchor_point">Historical flags of Russia</h3> <div id="flag_slider" class="flag_slide_list mod_slider_container "> <div class="swiper-wrapper"> <div class="slide swiper-slide"> <h4 class="slide_heading">Flag of Russian SFSR</h4> <figure class="content_media_fixed"> <picture class="slide_media_wrapper media_shadow" style="padding-top: 50%;"> <img loading="lazy" src="/r/w425/upload/2b/12/e1/flag-of-russia-sfsr-1937-to-1954.png" alt="Red banner with "> </picture> <figcaption>Red banner with </figcaption> </figure> </div> <div class="slide swiper-slide"> <h4 class="slide_heading">Flag of Russian SFSR</h4> <figure class="content_media_fixed"> <picture class="slide_media_wrapper media_shadow" style="padding-top: 50%;"> <img loading="lazy" src="/r/w425/upload/90/12/3a/flag-of-russia-sfsr-1954-to-1991.png" alt="Red flag with blue stripe on hoist and socialist symbols on the upper hoist side"> </picture> <figcaption>Red flag with blue stripe on hoist and socialist symbols on the upper hoist side</figcaption> </figure> </div> <div class="slide swiper-slide"> <h4 class="slide_heading">Post-Soviet Flag of Russia</h4> <figure class="content_media_fixed"> <picture class="slide_media_wrapper media_shadow" style="padding-top: 50%;"> <img loading="lazy" src="/r/w425/upload/74/2c/19/flag-of-russia-1991-to-1993.png" alt="White, blue, and red horizontal stripe "> </picture> <figcaption>White, blue, and red horizontal stripe </figcaption> </figure> </div> </div> <div class="swiper-pagination"></div> <div class="mod_slider_prev icon-left-open"></div> <div class="mod_slider_next icon-right-open"></div> </div> </section> <h2 id="symbols" class="anchor_point">Symbols of Russia</h2> <section class="flag_content"> <h3 id="symbol-the-national-coat-of-arms-of-russia" class="anchor_point">The National Coat of Arms of Russia</h3> <div class="symbol_media_wrapper media_right"> <figure class="content_media_fixed"> <picture style="padding-top: 110%;"> <img id="symbol_media" src="https://www.worldatlas.com/r/w400/webimage/flags/coat_of_arms/Russia.png" alt="Flag of Russia" loading="lazy" itemprop="url"> </picture> </figure> </div> <p>The National Coat of Arms of Russia was restored on November 30, 1993, after the constitutional crisis, and it was designed by Yevgeny Ukhnalyov.

The Soviet ruble ceased to be Russia's currency in 1992 after the Soviet Union broke up in 1991. The first Russian ruble replaced the Soviet Ruble in the ratio of 1:1. The first Russian ruble was denoted as RUR. Russia was faced with a financial crisis in 1998, and during this period the Russian ruble was devalued. A new ruble was introduced in the country and the new ISO Code assigned to the currency was RUB.
