...left has a Soviet flag, the center guy has a Russian flag, the guy on the right has a tsarist Russian flag. Just felt interesting somehow
You're viewing a single thread.
And then you see cringe like this on billboards... Honestly I'm getting tired of all this USSR x Empire shit promoted in our media
Is it just me or was the original Russian Empire flag ugly as hell
It wasn't even that common, only used between 1858-1896, the tsarist flag was the russian tricolor from 1696-1858 and 1896-1920: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Russian_flags#Historical_flags_of_Russia

Most empire flags look terrible.
All tricolor shit is awful and lazy. For people such invested into nationalism they could put minimal effort to actually have some inspiring national symbol but no, it's either three stripes or some incredibly convoluted heraldry, nothing in between.
