 Flag
The Russian flag 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 a standard for Russian merchant ships and became official as the
Russian tsarist flag in 1696. It remained in use until the establishment of the
Russian Soviet Socialist Soviet Republic in 1917.

During the Soviet Union's existence, the flag was used with the red field with
the gold sickle and hammer and the golden red star surrounded at the top.
With the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the prerevolutionary tricolor was
reintroduced as the flag of the Russian Federation in 1991 in the ratio of 1: 2.
The tsarist tricolor was completely restored in 1993 after the constitutional
crisis as the current flag.

north used animal skins and pearls to show the beauty of the dress, the
Russian people hand-painted linen fabric and sewed sweaters and dresses
and decorated with the edge.

Traditional costumes are designed for holidays, carnivals and also for
sportswear. Traditional Russian costumes are in great demand for theaters,
dance halls and churches around the world. All our Russian clothing is

the protection of the cold and the bad, but also for decorating. Traditional
clothing could mean a lot about a person: where he came from, how rich or

Ukrainian clothing, Georgian clothing and armor. In this section we will try to

 Main holidays
January, 1 - New Year's Day. New Year is one of the most anticipated and one
of the most joyful holidays in Russia. Before communists took power, Russian
Orthodox Christmas was a very important holiday of Russia, a sacred being.
However, communists banned all religious holidays that were banned
religion in the country, so that Christmas became increasingly less popular
among the years go by. New Year replaced in the hearts of the people,
however. The New Year is also celebrated with a Christmas tree, which began
to be called New Year tree, gifts and all other attributes.

Russian Orthodox Christmas January 7, is celebrated all over the country.

After the fall of the Communist regime, this sacred Christian feast was
brought back to life and has been observed ever since. The religious nature of
the festival is preserved in Russia. There are numerous church services and
praising Jesus on this holiday. People can also exchange gifts, but it is not
much of a tradition. This holiday gives people another day of rest and the
opportunity to think once more about Christ, God, the role of religion in their
lives

January 14 is another Russian New Year! Russians love holidays! This strange
feast dates back to the early 20th century. It actually has to do with the fact
that Russia is mostly Orthodox, not Catholic, and with the length of the solar
year. I oversimplified the explanation later, and I apologize for that, but it
was done only to save time and energy. If you want exact scientific facts, you
can refer to Wikipedia and type "Gregorian calendar". It was Pope Gregory
XIII decreed that the new Gregorian calendar, February 24, 1582.In the new
calendar, we calculated the length of the solar calendar with greater
precision. The Julian calendar that had been in use before does not count for
that. As a result, the calendar had been drifting slowly backwards (if we still
used this calendar, in 20-30 thousand years winter would start in June in the
northern hemisphere).
