The colors of the Russian flag - a different version

Each state has symbols. The Russian Federation has state symbols approved by the Federal constitutional laws, are the coat of arms, anthem and flag of Russia. What do the colors of the Russian flag?

The colors of the flag of the country, generally dictated by tradition, and then fixed by law. But it happens in every one. For example, the flag of Brazil depicted the constellations, and as they would be seen bystander in the morning 15.11.1889, at the time of the proclamation of the Republic Brazil. Original, but hardly appropriate. After all, the country's history did not begin in this moment. In one form or another, the state existed before. A flag, especially the flag of the country, –  it's such a character that, in theory, accepted for centuries.

The legislation, approved in 2000, the Russian Federation flag consists of three stripes - white, blue or azure and red. What is the meaning of the colors of the Russian flag?

There are several versions of this account. The first, which can be called semantic, comes from the fact that each color has in Russian history, its traditional meaning. The colors of the flag of Russia can be decoded. White means purity, nobility. Blue – color virgin, sky and rivers that symbolize honesty, loyalty. Red-the traditional color of military flags, as you can read even in the ancient sources. This color symbolizes courage, sacrifice, willingness to defend their land. Russian centuries-old history, and the ambiguous modernity, proved that the inhabitants of Russia there is no deficiency in any of these qualities.

Another version explaining the meaning of the colors of the Russian flag, on the assumption that the historical core of the country consists of three parts – the great, White and Small.
White Russia - North-Western part of the territory. The state is located there now, kept in his name the commitment of traditional color (Belarus).

Blue is the traditional color of little Russia. This South-Western part of the territory of the old Russian state, now there is Ukraine. Nevertheless Kiev is not without reason called the mother of Russian cities. The modern flag of Ukraine blue half.
The area known as the Great Russia, hardly needs further elaboration of its location on the map. Her traditional color is red. Red in Russia means "beautiful". It is the color of the princely banners and General strength, power, courage.

There is another version explaining why these are the colors of the flag of Russia. The value of the colors according to her, the following: it is the unity of the Church, the king and the people. The Church was symbolized by the white color. Blue – the color of the ruler, the red symbolized the people and the country as a whole. It's like the illustration of the famous slogan "For Faith, Tsar and Fatherland".

It is Interesting to note that the previous approved flag of tsarist Russia consisted of three stripes-black, yellow (or gold) and white. His colors meant unity then classes. The significance of colors of the Russian flag, oddly enough, was interpreted differently. Black was the color of the clergy, yellow (gold) symbolized the noble gentry, and the white – the peasantry.But I must admit that as a state colours white, blue and red colors look more historically justified than black, yellow and white, which is rather typical of countries of Europe.
