Open question on Russia's new flag

[Freedom1]

Its just funky, a combination that I've never seen together. Maybe its the politics of Eastern Ukraine I dont understand, eh?

Volodya, thats some far out stuff. They taught us in 1st grade it was the blue sky and fields of azure wheat. My simple mind grasps that one just fine.

Freedom 1,

Yes, the sky and land is just fine.

SanRus and anyone else interested,

This is Ukraine's Embassy webpage in Washington, DC.

You will find more information about the trident --
it's on the web's front page.

The symbol represents ALL of UKRAINE.

First discovered in the Ukraine area around the first century A.D.

Note: after the death of Jesus Christ.

It was used, as an emblem of power, by the original rulers of the Rus in Kiev.

Actually, it appears to be more like a symbol of TRINITY
than a trident.

Indeed, some Holy places in Western Ukraine use the
same symbol for religious services:

The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as one God.

All Ukraine you say? I take it you think Kievan Rus = Ukraine then? Is that the foundation for your statement. If so, please tell me when eastern Ukraine(as it is today) was ever part of the Kiev's sphere of power.

Freedom1, I doubt whether anyone, except maybe a shepherd
or cowboy, would use dead grass as a symbol, to represent half of their nation.
As for the trident/truzoob, SanRusDiego, you've got the balls wrong. Ask someone who's got a real one, to show you.

Freedom1, I doubt that anyone taught you that dead grass is azure. My dictionary says, about azure, 1. of a sky blue colour. 2. the blue of an unclouded sky etc etc
