Russia's black, yellow and white flag is the flag of Russia, which consists of white, black and orange. Among them, white represents cold and purity, black represents strength and majesty, and orange represents sunshine and hope. The flag was adopted in 1883 and designed by Emperor Alexander III of the Russian Empire. The design of the national flag is inspired by the emblem of the Russian Orthodox Church, which embodies the religious beliefs and cultural traditions of the Russian country. During the Soviet period, the flag was abolished, but after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Russian government re-adopted the black, yellow and white tricolor flag as the national flag.
