State Flag of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

Государственный флаг Союза Советских Социалистических Республик

The State Flag of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, also simply known as the Soviet flag or the Red Banner of state sanctioned Communist Russian Revolution.   

In the early days of the Russian Revolution of 1917, the Bolsheviks considered the Red Banner to be sufficient as a symbol for their ideological commitment to place all authority in the hands of workers and peasants. A plain red flag had first been used as a symbol of popular rights against autocratic governments during the French Revolution. The Red Banner became associated with socialist movements and protests across Europe in the 19th century; notably, it was adopted as the official flag of the Paris Commune of 1871. However, after the victory of Marxist-Leninist forces in Russia, it became more closely identified with communist movements, and social-democratic parties often sought other symbols.

The first official flag was adopted in December 1922 at the First Congress of Soviets of the USSR. It was agreed that the red banner "was transformed from the symbol of the Party to the symbol of a state, and around that flag gathered the peoples of the soviet republics to unite into one state — the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics". On 30 December 1922, the Congress adopted a Declaration and Agreement on the establishment of the USSR. Article 22 of the Agreement states: "The USSR has a flag, coat of arms and a state seal."
