from /r/vexillology Top comment: New version of the previous flag [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/vexillology/comments/a4qhv3/flag_of_neokievan_rus/). I removed the green stripe, instead basing the flag on a fusion of the [white-red-white](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Belarus#White-red-white_flag) Belarusian flag with that of Russia and Ukraine (rather than the red and green Soviet-style one). The flag places the middle red stripe of Belarus between the blue and yellow of Ukraine. This creates a Belarusian flag interspersed with blue and yellow, a Ukrainian flag divided by a red stripe, and a complete Russian flag in the top section. The emblem is the double-headed eagle taken from the current Russian coat of arms (color changed from gold to white), with the coat of arms of Moscow replaced with that of Ukraine (based on the historical seal of Vladimir the Great, sainted for Christianizing Kievan Rus'). On the topmost crown of the eagle is a patriarchal cross based on the Cross of Saint Euphrosyne, a symbol of Belarus. [Here](https://i.imgur.com/VByEinm.png) is a version of the flag without the eagle.

The architecture style of the historical house is called neo Russian style and it reminds a fairytale.

another artistic by-product of my immersion in 16th-century russian historical fiction.

Feel like Novgorod citizen whenever a new prince shows up oh so briefly. I just want to scroll in some manner of hellish peace.
