The flag of Russia consists of three parallel horizontal lines, of white, blue, and red. There is no official meaning to the colours as dictated by Russian laws, though the three colours are purported to have come from the colours of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, depicting St. George wearing white (that is, silver) armour, wearing a blue cape, on a red background.

Another explanation is that the three horizontal lines represent the Russian social system under the monarchy - white representing God, blue representing the Czar, and the red representing the peasants.

Another interpretation is that the white, blue, and red respectively represent the clear, bright future, the clouded present, and the bloody past.
