Russian Republic or Outer Space Federation?
Ingushetia: land of natural resources and this flag of a periscope with some fishing hooks coming off it.
You may remember times in the past we've covered some other weird symbols with three limbs coming off them, most significantly Sicily:
Triskelion is the name for a central symbol with 3 legs coming off it, but it seems to have more to do with spirals in general than with legs sticking out medusa's wheat-y head. What does the periscope triskelion have to do with Russia, you ask? Great question!
Ingushetia is inhabited by a people indigenous to the North Caucasus called the Vainakh, and the Vainakh way back in the day were big fans of the sun. The triskelion in this case is a symbol of the sun, or "a solar sign in the form of a red circle with three arched beams".
There seems to be a lot of debate in the scholarly flag world about how thick the lines should be in this flag and at what angle the legs or beams should protrude, but I'll spare you this time around.
