Moscow flag
Interestingly, the flag of Moscow is considered the official city banner and has national significance. For the first time it was approved in February ninety-fifth and even entered into a special heraldic Russian register, which has registration number 197. The approval of the first flag took place by order and under the control of the Moscow mayor (the order was received in the ninety-fourth).
By its own structure, this flag is a rectangular panel, which has a red (even somewhat scarlet) color. In the middle of the panel there is a drawing of the main Moscow coat of arms, that is, George the Victorious, dressed in silver armor and an azure dragging (the same mantle). This George sits on a silver horse and strikes a dark serpent with a spear made of gold. In terms of size, this is the third part of the entire canvas, and the width indicators to the length indicators correlate - two to three.
In the winter of the ninety-fifth, there was a decree from the capital's Duma under the twelfth number, according to which a law began to operate describing the official city coat of arms with a flag. It was here that the basic description of what this flag should be was present. It was there that it was confirmed that the flag has a dark red color, and in the middle (on both sides, by the way) there is a drawing of the main Moscow coat of arms. This drawing unfolds from the shaft. The total width of this image is approximately two-fifths of the total length of this panel..
But already in the summer of 2003, the above-described law became invalid due to the adoption of a new law numbered thirty-eight, which also describes the new Moscow flag. In this case, the description of the banner has slightly changed. In particular, this flag remained dark red in color and had the same rectangular shape. Width ratios correlated with length ratios - two to three. The drawing also remained two-sided and was in the very center. We are, of course, talking about Saint George the Victorious, who sits on a horse and also kills a bad snake with his spear. The total width of this image is approximately two-fifths of the total length of this panel..
