Historically, with the formation of the state in front of itrulers arose the question of how to separate the sovereignty of their country, regardless of the change of government and dynasties. And the way out was found. These are national symbols.
Any state in the world has its ownits own official symbolism. The most important difference of any country in the international arena is, of course, the national flag, the emblem and the national anthem. For Russia this is a two-headed eagle, tricolor and anthem, written for A. Alexandrov's music. This is the identification complex of our country in the international arena, the subject of its pride, symbolizing both the unity of the nation and, of course, independence. State symbols also have practical significance: they are displayed on seals, on coins, on banknotes and so on.
Russian tricolor
Государственный флаг Российской Федерации – это its official distinguishing mark. He was approved by President Yeltsin in 1993. It is a canvas with a 2: 3 aspect ratio, rectangular in shape, consisting of three equal bands. The top bar is white, the middle bar is blue, and the bottom bar is red. Since ancient times, the main distinguishing feature of the flag was its recognition from a long distance, which allows it to be used in open spaces.
Double-headed eagle. Value
The national emblem of Russia is a certaindistinctive sign, compiled by the rules of heraldry. The emblem "Double-headed eagle", as well as the flag, was approved by Yeltsin as the state Russian symbolism.
Double-headed eagle "looks" in different directions.One of his head turned to the East, and the other - to the West. On his chest is a shield with a silver horseman on a silver horse. This rider strikes with a silver spear of an overturned serpent. Both heads are crowned with small crowns, over which one big rises. All crowns are connected by one ribbon. The symbol of solid power is the attribute of honor and greatness - the scepter in the right paw and the orb - in the left.
Double-headed Eagle, minted in RussianRuble coins are no longer the emblem of our country, but only a symbol of the central Russian bank. Unlike the main "bird" of the country, the wings of this feathered "predator" are omitted.
Hail, Fatherland!
Among the three official characters, the anthem takeshonorary place in the image of Russia. Unlike the flag and the coat of arms, the national melody and its words are always in the heart of a person. After all, every citizen of our country is obliged to know by heart the creation of Alexandrov and Mikhalkov and, if necessary, to demonstrate their belonging to the state - to perform their own anthem.
Tacit symbolism
Did you know that national symbols are notonly officially accepted flag, coat of arms and anthem. They may be not having a formal status, but well-known plots associated with something. For example, the Moscow Kremlin is an invariable “calling card” of our country, and the Gallic rooster is a traditional symbol of freedom-loving France, by the way, the Eiffel Tower can also be attributed here. In addition, unspoken symbols can be famous geographic features, such as the Fuji volcano in Japan, or the Amazon River in South America.
