The flag of the Russian Federation  is a tricolor flag consisting of three equal horizontal fields: white on the top, blue in the middle, and red on the bottom. The flag was first used as an ensign for Russian merchant ships in 1696. These 100% polyester flags are strong and lightweight, measure 3’x5′, and have 2 metal grommets for mounting to your flag pole. They are excellent quality flags for this low price and are good economical alternatives to the higher priced, more durable outdoor nylon flags.
