The Russian Imperial Flag was used by the Russian Empire from 1721 until the Russian Revolution in 1917. It consisted of a tricolor of three colors - white, blue, and red. The white stripe represented freedom, the blue represented loyalty, and the red represented courage.
In the center of the flag was an emblem of a golden double-headed eagle with outstretched wings. The eagle was looking towards the right side, which symbolized the country's expansion towards the east.
The Russian Imperial Flag underwent minor changes during the reigns of different tsars. For instance, the emblem of the double-headed eagle was modified by Peter the Great, Catherine the Great, Alexander II, and Nicholas II, among others.
After the Russian Revolution of 1917, the imperial flag was replaced by the Soviet Union's flag, which had a hammer and sickle on a red background. However, the imperial flag has remained historically significant and is still used by monarchists and other groups in modern times.
