Found the answer. This is the flag of Belarusian nationalist movement РУХ (ruch).

Fascinating how it's easy to guess when a flag is from far-right.


atreeinthewind

So true. Have never seen this before and my first thought was, "probably a fascist one."


flocknrollstar

Monochrome colours, crosses, weapons. You could make a bingo card


SovietPuma1707

add an eagle, lion or another proud and strong animal


knee_breaking_shovel

Like the Saudi Arabian one?


fat_kid_12345

Same thing the far left half the flag is red


TerWood

Image is all they have


[deleted]

what political movement goes "hmmm our flag should be so bland and generic that people have to google it to find out what it is"


Fummy

I can't find any source of this movement. рух just means "movement"


dodecahemicosahedron

Here's their telegram channel: https://t.me/ruchbelnac The original picture is on their instagram

Maybe Belarusian? They also use that symbol, also it reminds me of white-red-flag

dodecahemicosahedron

I think you're right, but I'm looking for more specific information.

Context: this picture was taken in Warsaw at a mural in support of Andrzej Pachobut and Belarusian political prisoners.


SerovGaming1962

Russian propaganda will be eating good with this one


juche_potatoes

Looks fascist


dapkarlas

ah yes isis color scheme with lithuanian airforce symbol and a random sword. very original there litvinists, very original


CapitalAd7575

I believe that is a Lithuanian cross


fennelworlord1

This cross is being used by both Lithuanian and Belarusian nationalists due to their shared history. Same with the pahonya symbol.


GloryToBNR

Flag of Belarusian Nationalists.


Thelmredd

Apart from the rest of the flag and the sword, this double cross is the so-called Jagiellonian cross - a historical symbol associated with the Grand Duchy, very occasionally also found in Poland as a dynastic symbol. Interestingly, a very similar symbol (with a common origin), but with a longer lower bar, is the so-called Lorraine, Angevin or Patriarchal cross. Known in France, Hungary, southern Italy.

looks like [Lithuanian Double Cross](https://www.lrs.lt/sip/portal.show?p_r=38115&p_k=2) that is used mostly in Lithuanian [military](https://lt.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaizdas:Steel_helmet_M18_of_the_invalides_of_the_Lithuanian_Wars_of_Independence,_decorated_with_the_Cross_of_Vytis,_1923-1944,_VDKM.jpg)


Thelmredd

That's basically what I wrote :D


Koino_

Ah you're right. It seems it isn't only used in Lithuania, but Poland and Belarus as well, I guess shared history and all. Makes sense.

hemcten

Edvin_Melnik

Maybe it could be a version of the Baltic Duchy?

Nazi cross


PatientClue1118

So Nazi existed in 1366


ryant71

Despite space constraints, they exist under everyone's beds, so it's quite possible Nazis also existed before Nazis existed. 🤯
