The White-Blue-White Flag (бело-сине-белый флаг): Symbol for a New Russia?

Описание: A new flag design for a new Russia? The white-blue-white flag (бело-сине-белый флаг) popped up shortly after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. And, it quickly gained popularity among those opposed to Vladimir Putin and the current Russian government, featuring in anti-war protests the world over. While the design is rather simple, it has meaning and even a symbolic connection with the Novgorod Republic.
