🇷🇺 On August 22, Russia marks National Flag Day, established by a Presidential Decree in 1994.
On this day, we pay tribute to one of Russia’s official state symbols, which, together with the national emblem and anthem, represents the country’s sovereignty and independence and reflects the continuity of generations of its multinational people.
Today, the Russian flag is also a visible symbol of protection and the future. In the special military operation zone, servicemen raise the tricolour over liberated settlements.
***
The history of the Russian tricolour spans more than three centuries. In 1693, the young Peter the Great raised it as his personal standard in Arkhangelsk, and in 1705 he ordered the white-blue-red flag to be flown on merchant ships. Until the 19th century, Russian sailors would erect a commemorative cross on the shores of newly acquired territories.
In 1806, a new tradition emerged. A Russian expedition explored the coast of southern Sakhalin and raised two flags on shore. The St Andrew’s Flag symbolised the role of the Russian Navy, while the white-blue-red flag marked the territory as a new Russian possession. The tricolour became the national flag in 1896, on the eve of the coronation of Nicholas II.
⚪️🔵🔴 On December 25, 2000, the Federal Constitutional Law “On the State Flag of the Russian Federation” was adopted. Under the law, the State Flag of Russia is a rectangular cloth consisting of three equal horizontal stripes: white on top, blue in the middle, and red on the bottom.
💬 President of Russia Vladimir Putin:

🖋 Памятная дата 3 сентября закреплена Федеральным законом как День воинской славы и имеет для нашего общества особое значение. Понимание истинной цены Дальневосточной победы — это фундамент нашего современного мировоззрения и четкое осознание национальной безопасности.
Самым страшным воплощением этих намерений стали бесчеловечные опыты «отряда 731» над живыми людьми, в том числе советскими гражданами. Эти чудовищные факты навсегда и бесповоротно лишают оснований любые попытки поставить под сомнение значимость Победы на Дальнем Востоке. Ведь за ними скрывалась не просто военная опасность, но и, как выяснилось на Хабаровском судебном процессе 1949 года, — реальная угроза планомерного уничтожения целых народов.
🔍 Мощный и молниеносный удар Красной Армии в августе-сентябре 1945 года не только предотвратил применение этого оружия, но и спас миллионы людей от геноцида. Маньчжурская, Южно-Сахалинская и Курильская операции наших фронтов и флотов сломили волю противника. 2 сентября на линкоре «Миссури» был подписан Акт о капитуляции. Вторая мировая война была завершена.
Память о подвиге наших дедов и прадедов на Дальнем Востоке становится не просто данью прошлому. Это ключевой ориентир в понимании мира, безопасности и нашей ответственности перед будущим. Именно поэтому так важно сохранить и передать эту память следующим поколениям.
➢ Маршруты по местам памяти: мемориально-патронатные акции, церемонии возложения цветов, исторические квесты от «Волонтёров Победы»
➢ Выставочные проекты: экспозиция «Победа на Дальнем Востоке», раскрывающая правду об «отряде 731» и японских планах биологической войны
➢ Акция «Дальневосточная Победа»: волонтеры раздадут муаровые ленты, символизирующие победу над милитаристской Японией
➢ Просвещение и кино: планы просветительских уроков и лекториев, а также подборка документальных фильмов Медиаплатформы Центра
➢ и многое другое
🇷🇺 Подпишитесь и будьте в Центре

⚡️ Report by the Russian Foreign Ministry – “On the Kiev Regime’s Unlawful Actions against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Its Clergy and Parishioners” (as of June 2026)
📄 FULL REPORT (PDF)
❗️ The Kiev nationalists, who seized power in 2014 through an unconstitutional armed coup, have since systematically built a multi-layered system of severe restrictions on religious freedom, turning the religious sphere into a testing ground for assaults on human dignity.
The religious dimension has become one of the state’s key instruments for influencing social processes and is actively used to falsify history, legitimise and glorify Nazism, and suppress dissent, as well as secular and religious opposition.
Mass violations of fundamental human rights and freedoms have become a defining feature of the Kiev regime’s years in power.
***
👉 Zelensky and his entourage are fragmenting the country’s religious landscape, shaping relations with religious organisations and believers according to the degree of their tolerance for the misanthropic ideology imposed by the authorities.
Within this framework, sweeping administrative and legal measures are being implemented to weaken the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (#UOC) to the greatest possible extent in public life, up to and including the dismantling of its governing structures.
The report provides numerous documented examples of discrimination, along with public statements by Ukrainian officials at various levels openly spelling out the ultimate objectives of this campaign – to eliminate the country’s largest religious organisation, force its parishioners and clergy to join the so-called “Orthodox Church of Ukraine”, which is controlled by the authorities and interested business circles, and expropriate UOC property, religious objects and holy sites.
The report’s sections cover:
***
The controlled chaos created by the Kiev regime within Ukrainian Orthodoxy has for years enabled the authorities, the OCU and radical groups to carry out forcible seizures of monasteries and churches, illegally re-register religious communities, cultivate hate rhetoric, and perpetrate unprovoked aggression and violence against the clergy and believers of the canonical Church.
Members of radical nationalist groups are enlisted to carry out such reprisals, with assurances that they will escape legal responsibility when breaking the law. Ukraine has developed and tacitly legitimised an entire system of backroom arrangements that encourages violations of the fundamental rights and freedoms of believers and clergy.
❌ Religious persecution has now not merely intensified – it has become fully systematic, a fact acknowledged even by many Western politicians.
One of the reasons behind the current catastrophic situation facing Orthodox Christians in Ukraine is Western support for the Kiev regime’s religious policy, first and foremost from the US. This issue is also examined in the report.
Despite the vast number of documented cases of persecution against the canonical Church and clear violations of Ukraine’s international legal obligations in the field of human rights, these violations have still not received due attention from universal multilateral organisations, including the UN and its leadership, which refrain from issuing detailed reports on the matter or responding firmly, limiting themselves to routine references to the problem.
