The national symbols of Russia are a part of the cultural heritage of the country which has given the country its national identity. The official symbols play an important role in formation of a country and a nation’s image. They build up its recognition. The state symbols of Russia are the flag, the anthem and the coat of arms.

One of the most important symbols is the Russian national flag. It has three stripes :white, blue and red. These colours have always been symbolic in Russia: white-noble and sincere, blue-honest and devoted to friends, family and to the country. The red colour has always meant love and bravery. The current Russian flag was adopted on August 21, 1991 just before the country became an independent state. 

The coat of arms

In 1944 the national anthem of Russia was accepted. The music was composed by Alexander Alexandrov and the lyrics were written by Russian Federalist Sergey Mikhalkov.After the collapse of the Soviet Union, in 1993, a government commission and President Yeltsin offered a new national anthem «Patriotic Song» by M. Glinka. However this anthem was unpopular and didn’t inspire Russians. People preferred the old Soviet anthem instead of it.
