Flag of Moscow, Russia
The Flag of Moscow, Russia, is a heraldic banner that symbolizes the city of Moscow, the capital of the Russian Federation. Adopted on July 7, 1995, the flag consists of three horizontal bands arranged from top to bottom in the proportions 2:3:2. The upper and lower bands are white (silver), while the central band is red, the traditional colors of Moscow's coat of arms. The center of the red band features a gold (yellow) Saint George slaying the Dragon, symbolizing the victory over evil forces. This design represents Moscow's rich history, particularly the city's role in defeating the Mongol invasion led by Tamerlane in 1380 and embracing Christianity during that time. The flag is a visual representation of Moscow's resilience, strength, and faith.
