The state symbol of the Russian Federation is a three coloured banner. It has three horizontal stripes: white, blue and red. The white stripe symbolizes the earth, the blue one stands for the sky and the red one symbolizes liberty. It was approved by the Federal Assembly in 1991.

The Russian anthem ‘Russia, the holy State…” is written by A. Alexandrov (music) and S. Mikhalkov (words). A new national emblem of Russia (The Arms of Russia) is a double- headed eagle, which first came into use in the 1490s. The Coat-of –Arms of Russia is Our Lady of Vladimir.
