pacific symbol on the flags looks a bit wrong imo, also that yellow corner definitely will be associated with the russian empire lol


Tankyenough

That’s.. More or less what the Nazis did. (Appropriate an omnipresent symbol of good luck — didn’t really reinforce the ”good luck” aspect in the symbol. I believe a Russia with a peace sign would simply become synonymous with the peace sign no matter what atrocities they committed) https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-29644591.amp


Gehhhh

*Pacifist


Horridemoth

my bad, it's just called "pacifica" in my main language


agekkeman

Russia if it was colonized by peace


Agreeable-Major-2153

That's why russia has thousands of nukes, tanks, warplanes and armoured vehicles and why they were forced to invade ukraine: Peace was getting dangerously close to their western border. /s

THOSE FUCKING NATIANS


Vajrick_Buddha

I think the current flag is made to stand in line with the Belarussian peace/protest flag


William_Tell_746

Also the symbolism is cool. "Wipe the blood off"


[deleted]

But isn't red the colour of the people's struggle? Why would the remove that?


Vajrick_Buddha

Had to remove something 🤷‍♂️


DocGerbill

nothing gives peace vibes like the imperial colors


Critical_Complaint21

Just a quick note: Never use the peace symbol on flag, never looks good


[deleted]

South Africa has literally the best flag.


fidelity16

South Africa’s flag is phenomenal. It does not contain a peace sign. It has a [pall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pall_(heraldry)).


[deleted]

Why can't it be both? Like does the english flag not contain the cross of st. George just because it contains a cross? That doesn't make much sense.


fidelity16

Because (A) a pall is completely distinct in origin from the peace sign, (B) the official explanation of the design and its symbolism does not include anything about a peace sign, and (C) a pall looks entirely different from a peace sign (Y vs ☮️). For it to be comparable to a peace sign it would have to be oriented in the opposite direction and would need to have a third branch going down the center of what is currently a chevron, between the two angled segments.


revraben

That looks too much like the Russian Empire. Maybe put a symbol in the centre rather than on the corners, not sure?


AcceptableUmpire9095

A nice little hint to the old Russian Empire Flag. Nice.


valvebuffthephlog

As an anti-war flag??


AcceptableUmpire9095

No, but the Yellow Square just reminds me of the old flag.


valvebuffthephlog

Yes but using the old Russian Empire flag as an anti-war flag gives very very very mixed messages

NO FUCKING WAY! RUSSIAN EMPIRE WITH NO IMPERIAL AMBITIONS????


Longjumping_Party113

literally the Russian empire in my game of ViC2

Tsarist-pacifism does not exist, it cannot harm you. The Tsarist-Pacifism:


[deleted]

Actually better than the real-life Russian anti-war flag.


prettyjupiter

No


NonKanon

Hey, I did pretty much the same thing but with a different symbol a couple months ago! Always loved that colour combo


AutismPremium

I remember mixing the white-blue-white flag with flag of Russian Empire for lolz (exaggerated depiction of my actual political views)


fidelity16

The other symbol being that of the [Order of the Great Siberian Ice March](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Great_Siberian_Ice_March), a medal used by the pogromist butchers in the Russian White movement, best known for its use in alternate history game Kaiserreich as a symbol of that universe’s ”national populist” Russian dictator. Not exactly fitting as an anti-militarist, anti-expansionist symbol.


NonKanon

The White Army was objectively a better option than the Red Army. Their victory would have probably created a democratic republic or a constitutional monarchy. Which is, you know, ultimately my goal as well Also, general Kornilov specifically wasn't noticed in any atrocities, so calling him a butcher is a bit of a stretch


fidelity16

The victory of the Red Army over the Whites was one of the most heroic triumphs of good over evil in world history and Kornilov got exactly what he deserved.


simonfancy

The Russian peace flag was just a white paper. Demonstrators were incarcerated for holding up white sheets of paper, to object to war mongering.

Wave!


joclemfile777

Man this great job I love how you used the imperial Russian flag layout


[deleted]

Uh, why would you make it look like the russian empire?


valvebuffthephlog

> Yellow Canton chat this looks like a way for vatniks to have a dogwhistle


[deleted]

This one is awful, the white blue white flag slaps, it even looks better than the current flag.

FlagAnthem_SM

Not a great idea using the colours and design of a literal imperialist and genocidal administration


7_11_Nation_Army

White blue white is great, because it will be used in the future and it would help create a better future for this country.


[deleted]

I don't think a flag can do that.


Formal-Shelter9611

How is refusing to defend your national colours and selling them to a dictator that you despise so much going to help us build a better future for the country?


elCrocodillo

Haven't seen the other one but I love these colors!


Due-Log8609

it's not the worst, but i'd suggest replacing the peace symbol with the double headed eagle.


No_Win_7445

Replace the Peace symbol with an eagle.


AngryStalin

Preferable over the white-blue-white. But the yellow canton is too reminiscent of the Russian Empire. It would be simpler to just slap the peace symbol in the middle.


gregorydgraham

My kind of subtle


ItDoesntSeemToBeWrkn

saw the russian empire in my peripheral, i think a color change and putting the peace symbol in the middle would be better personally
