Any character necessarily matters. The meaning behind which is its own story. This is especially true of state symbols. Any society should know the symbols of its state, as well as understand their meaning. We know and honor our state symbols, and besides, we are interested in the symbols of other countries. Especially those who have a common history with us, a common spirit, a common culture.
Similar symbolism of fraternal states
Several countries are owners of fairly similar flags with Russia: Slovakia, Slovenia and Serbia. At the same time, the flag of Serbia is a mirror image of the Russian flag, and their emblems are located on the banners of Slovenia and Slovakia. Consider the flag of Slovenia, as well as its coat of arms in more detail.
A bit of history
The flag and coat of arms of Slovenia are official symbols, which hide their unique history, origin and formation of the state. In the first century, the territory of present-day Slovenia, after many years of war, became part of the Roman Empire. After its collapse, it became part of Byzantium. Slavic ancestors found themselves in the Balkans in the VI century, forming one of the first Slavic states - Carantania. In the VIII century, Christianity was adopted on the territory. After years of war, at the beginning of the 9th century, Carantania became part of the Frankish kingdom. For over a thousand years, present-day Slovenia has been ruled by Austria and Germany. Over the past few centuries, Slovenia has been closely connected with Austria. At the end of World War II, on November 29, 1945, Slovenia became part of the created Republic of Yugoslavia, and on June 25, 1991, proclaimed independence.
Slovenia flag
The same size red, blue and white stripes with a coat of arms located in the corner - this is the flag of Slovenia. A photo of the state Slovenian banner is located below.
It is these colors that were chosen in 1848 as national. Here is a reference to the Austrian principality of Krajn (on the medieval coat of arms on a blue field a golden eagle with red claws was depicted). During the years of the country's stay in Yugoslavia in the center of the flag was a five-pointed red star. That was exactly the state flag of Slovenia until the adoption of the modern one in 1991.
