Tracing the origins of Ukrainian national symbols
Throughout history, armies around the world have raised flags in the name of military conquest, economic trade, and religious identity but in countries like Ukraine, the flag is tantamount to independence. First adopted as part of Ukraine's first declaration of independence in 1918, Ukraine's blue and yellow flag later became the state symbol of the Ukrainian National Republic in 1949. The Soviet Union banished the flag entirely in deference to the regime's Ukrainian SSR designation.
