Peter I founded St. Andrew's flag as the official flag of the Russian navy


(1) December 11, 1699, Peter I founded St. Andrew's flag as the official flag of the Russian navy. His choice of the emperor, explained that it was from Andrew Russia took holy baptism, and so, so he wanted to perpetuate the name of a saint.

White flag with a blue cross in the shape of the letter "X" (in this cross, according to legend, was martyred apostle Andrew) fluttered on the masts of the Russian ships until 1917. Under this flag circumnavigate the world, opened new lands. Under it went into battle many generations of Russian sailors.

(5) November 18, 1917 sailors who gathered at the first All-Russian Congress of the Navy, decided to lift all ships of the navy instead of the All-Russian St. Andrew's flag red flag International. In Soviet times, the ships of the Navy flew the flag of the USSR.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 as a primary Navy flag by a presidential decree was entered Russian historical flag of St. Andrew.

January 4, 2001 came into force on the federal law "On the banner of the Armed Forces, the flag of the Navy of the Russian Federation, the banners of the Armed Forces and other troops of the banners," according to which the banner of the Navy consists of a double-cloth, with a staff pommel, guard and inflow. Naval flag of Russia is a white rectangular cloth crossed the blue diagonal (St. Andrew's) cross.

Thank you for reminding me , And then for his political hysteria , to Russia, somehow, none of the case or not. Glorious symbol . Here are two inaccuracies (suddenly someone will know)

In the " Soviet era " (1935-1992) flew here this Flag of the Soviet Navy ( self- other, and replaced with Andrew , he was not in 1991 , and , in 1992 ))

Oh, well something like that not all fallen into this "watered-hysteria" and that there are still people who cares "to Russia."
:D>

summer 1990 me and my friends
befallen the following story: :)>

Graduates naval schools, the night before the presentation
 swab, a tradition-naughty ... :)>

"Nahimovtsy" rubbed bronze to shine nose to Peter the Great, the monument at the Petrograd embankment.

"Dzerzhinsky" rub their private parts in a horse-monument to Peter (the famous Bronze Horseman Falcone) ... :)>

Ya. Tsa shine so that the whole area does not require Senate lighting ... :D>

And we, the graduates VVMURE them. Popova at Peterhof, decided to
prepare several sheets of white
cloth with sewn on his diagonal cross of blue ribbons.

Thus we will get Andrew flag.

At night, climbed the tower of the Third Corps, and hoisted on a flagpole ... Andrew :)>

It is true he was destined to develop exactly half an hour, lifted the duty of the college. :rolleyes:>

A formal naval ensign in 1990 was-Flag of the Soviet Navy.

And we have successfully made lieutenant shoulder boards, and went to serve the motherland.

And could suffer, and for his "prank" ... ;)>

For Andrew ... :)>

On flags, - wondering what the status of the national flag of white, blue and red was specifically for the coronation of Nicholas 2 - the most unsuccessful of all the Romanovs . Beginning and ending with Khodynka end.

The repetition of it at once suggests the proverbial ship - like call ...

Look at what the Navy flag in its current version is accepted, as ensign of the military courts at the end of May 1865 I forgot something , but the successes of the Navy since before 1917 and I do not remember , but rather the opposite.

Perhaps the new country needed a new flag , carrying a positive fullness , not a historical and esoteric goods bloody failures of the past .

And if you want to show the strong continuity - you can use a flag below , who participated in the victorious Northern War , after which Peter bestowed the title of emperor . And at the same time , he is also a red sort of continuity of power.

... A good song about the flag of St. Andrew

Fed, you specify the- a Gyuis and fortress flag of the Russian Navy , officially adopted in 2001 :)>

The Navy of the Russian Federation Gyuis up daily on the nose (in tank) ships
 ( including , and in submarines ), along with a stern flag
 usually from 8 am to sunset .

" Gyuis raised on a ship , means that the ship belongs to a rank of 1 or 2 .
Rises and falls on the jack-staff at the same time with ups and downs
 Naval flag of the Russian Navy , during a stop ship at anchor ( barrel, moorings ).

Jack up the masts and coastal settlements in the production of firing salutes "

- Article 628 of the Russian Navy ship charter . ;)>

And you his Ukrainian leaders at the expense of the flag also gave advice ?
Somehow I remember that the present flag of Ukraine , too , using your definitions is "a historical and esoteric goods bloody failures of the past ." :D>

You mentioned the failure of the Teutonic Order of the banners "Leopolskoy"?


Or real-flag of the free Black Cossacks?


Events at the time of such successful.

Some matches, similar to the coronation, I do not know.
