âš“ #OTD in 1696, 👑Peter The Great ordered #StAndrew’s flag to be used as 🇷🇺Russian naval ensign. Until the revolution of 1917 under these colours #Russia won sea battles & discovered new lands. ⛵ In 1992, #Russian Navy raised the glorious banner on board its battleships again https://t.co/QEz972uRLS — PolitiTweet.org
