The current Russian flag, the tricolour of white, blue and red equal sized horizontal bands, has been in use since December 1993, after the collapse of the USSR.

Prior to that, it was used as the Russian flag from about 1883 until the October Revolution in 1917.

The flag existed earlier than that and was used for different purposes, but it was never officially recognised as the Russian flag until 1883.

The flag has undergone slight dimensional changes over the years, but to all intents and purposes, it is virtually the same flag.
