Each state has its own symbols. Typically, the most important of them is the flag and emblem. I love my country. So enthusiastic have a special feeling for our flag and the coat of arms. The state flag of the Russian Federation is a rectangular cloth of three equal stripes. The upper stripe white, middle – blue and lower – red. Now the meaning of these colors has changed. White color means peace, purity, innocence, perfection. Blue is the color of faith, loyalty, constancy. Red symbolizes energy, strength, blood shed for the Fatherland. White-blue-red flag was adopted as the official (state) flag of Russia just before the coronation of Nicholas II in 1896. Prior to that, the state flag of the Russian Empire was black-yellow-white flag. And white-blue-red flag since Peter I was trading the flag of Russia. Then the red color meant the statehood. Blue was the color of our lady. It was under her patronage was Russia. White meant freedom, independence. The emblem is an important symbol of the state. I believe that everyone should be familiar with the emblem of their country. In the state emblem of the Russian Federation shows a Golden double-headed eagle. It is located on the shield. Above the eagle there are three crowns. Over the heads – two small and over them – one big one. These are three historical crowns of Peter the Great. In his arms, the eagle holds a scepter and Orb. On the breast of the eagle on a red shield we see the rider. He is spearing the dragon. The emblem of our country's historical. The eagle was depicted even on the monuments of the epoch of Peter the Great. Depicted above the heads of the eagle represent the three crowns the independence of all of Russia. The eagle holds a scepter and Orb. They mean the power of the state and a single state. The horseman, smiting with spear the dragon talks about the struggle between good and evil, light and darkness. This means that citizens of Russia are always ready to defend his country. I am very proud of their homeland. So our flag and the coat of arms I really like. They make me proud for my country!
