🇷🇺 On August 22, Russia celebrates National Flag Day, established by Presidential Executive Order On National Flag Day of the Russian Federation dated August 20, 1994.
#OTD, we pay tribute to the official state symbol of Russia, which, along with its emblem and anthem, marks its sovereignty and independence, and reaffirms the continuity of many generations of the country’s multiethnic people.
⚓️ The Russian tricolor is more than three centuries old. Peter the Great is considered the creator: in 1705, he issued an order according to which they should raise a white-blue-and-red flag “on all merchant ships.” However, it was only given official national flag status in 1896, on the eve of the coronation of Nicholas II.
On December 25, 2000, the Federal Constitutional Law On the State Flag of the Russian Federation was adopted, under which the state flag of Russia was a rectangular panel of three equal horizontal stripes: the top one was white, the middle one was blue and the bottom one was red.
⚪️🔵🔴 It is believed that white represents peace and dignity; blue, loyalty and honesty; and red, courage and valour.
Today, the tricolor has firmly become part of our lives as an integral element of Russian statehood, a symbol of the unity of the people, their devotion to the Fatherland, and their readiness to defend Russia’s national interests.

📅 #OTD in 1612, the people’s volunteer army led by Kuzma Minin and Prince Dmitry Pozharsky, liberated Moscow from Polish-Lithuanian invaders.
Therefore, #NationalUnityDay (introduced by the executive order of the President of Russia in December 2004) has been celebrated all over our country every year since 2005.
🦅 The holiday has deep historical roots. It was celebrated from 1613 until 1917, and was established by the first tsar of the Romanov dynasty Michael to honour the icon of Our Lady of Kazan, which accompanied the liberators of Moscow.
A monument to citizen Minin and Prince Pozharsky by sculptor Ivan Martos was erected on Red Square on the order of Emperor Alexander I in 1818 to honour the memory of patriots who led the fight for national liberation.
On November 4, 2005, a copy of this monument, executed by Zurab Tsereteli and gifted by Moscow City Hall, was unveiled in Nizhny Novgorod, a city that played a crucial role in creating the volunteer army.
💬 Vladimir Putin: The history of our country is continuous, a constant stream. We must consider it in its entirety, with all its extremely complicated and even controversial periods. For the state, the authorities, society and its citizens, it is crucial to have objective, complete knowledge of our past, both the distant past and the near and recent past. Everything here matters, especially today.

👉 This famous military commander won his first major victory as early as 1939 by defeating Japan during the Battles of Khalkhin Gol and forcing the adversary to abandon the idea of launching a full-scale invasion of the USSR. With Zhukov serving as Deputy Supreme Commander-in-Chief, the Great Patriotic War showcased his talents as a military commander.
It was Zhukov’s resolve that enabled the USSR to withstand the first months of the war with their immense challenges. He headed the front at a critical moment when there were almost no troops left between the advancing Nazi forces and Moscow and the command had to urgently find reserves and create new units. It was Zhukov who led the troops in August 1941 when they liberated Yelnya, marking the USSR’s first triumph in the fight against Nazism.
☝️A strategic genius, Zhukov had the ability to turn the tide in the most challenging sections along the Soviet-German front. Not only did he prevent the Nazis from seizing Leningrad, but he also made a decisive contribution to the defence of Moscow, and coordinated four fronts during the Battle of Kursk. It is symbolic that he headed the 1st Byelorussian Front during the Berlin Offensive and accepted Germany’s surrender, as well as presided over the first ever Victory Parade.
After the war, Zhukov served as First Deputy Minister and later Minister of Defence of the USSR, carrying out major reforms within the Soviet army. After retiring from the military, he focused on writing, as well as engaging in historical and educational activities.
✍️ From Zhukov’s memoirs: Serving the Motherland and my people was what mattered most to me. <...> I did everything to fulfil this duty.

📸 Today, marking the 85th anniversary of the establishment of the Soviet Information Bureau, the Rossiya Segodnya Media Group is opening a major photo exhibition titled 85 Years of Sovinformburo. History Brought to Life. An Era Captured.
🖼 The exhibition brings together 30 iconic photographs taken over the decades and, for the first time, presents the country’s history through archival images brought to life with AI technology.
The exhibition is timed to coincide with June 24, 1941. #OTD, the third day of the Great Patriotic War, that the Soviet Information Bureau was established.
For 85 years, the agency, later transformed into the Novosti Press Agency and subsequently RIA Novosti, has remained the country’s principal voice, documenting landmark events in Russian and world history. Today, its traditions are carried on by the Rossiya Segodnya Media Group, which comprises RIA Novosti and Sputnik.
The exhibition features works by renowned photographers, including legendary frontline photojournalists Georgy Zelma, Yevgeny Khaldei, Vladimir Grebnev, Mikhail Ozersky, Igor Kostin and other masters of documentary photography.
☝️ Their lenses captured the Battle of Stalingrad and the 1945 Victory Parade, Yuri Gagarin’s first space flight, the Olympic Games in Moscow in 1980, Sochi and Milan, the work of peacekeeping forces and historic meetings between world leaders.
💬 Director General of the Rossiya Segodnya Media Group Dmitry Kiselev:
ℹ️ The exhibition 85 Years of Sovinformburo. History Brought to Life. An Era Captured was organised by the Rossiya Segodnya Media Group in cooperation with and with the support of Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It will be displayed at Russian diplomatic missions abroad.

8️⃣5️⃣ years ago, during the difficult first days of the Great Patriotic War, the Soviet Information Bureau was born.
It was called upon to become the voice of the country at a time of its greatest trials.
Today, as we turn the pages of this unique chronicle, we see how wartime communiqués marked the beginning of a remarkable journey that came to reflect an entire era.
This is the history of our country: a chronicle of victories, the conquest of space, the triumphs of our athletes and outstanding cultural figures, and, of course, a testament to the enormous role our country has played and continues to play on the world stage.
We, the Rossiya Segodnya Media Group and the RIA Novosti and Sputnik agencies, are the direct successors of Sovinformburo. The traditions of the frontline correspondents who followed the roads of war alongside Soviet soldiers, documenting every step towards the Great Victory, are not empty words to us. Today, our war correspondents work just as their illustrious predecessors did 85 years ago: on the front line, risking their lives so that the world can see the truth.
This exhibition is our tribute to those who made history and to those who continue making it today.

📅 July 10 marks the #DayOfMilitaryGlory in Russia — the Victory of the Russian Army under the command of Peter the Great over the Swedes in the Battle of Poltava.
#OTD, we pay tribute to the great triumph of the Russian army, which turned the tide in the Great Northern War, having exerted a profound impact upon the further course of history.
Despite the prevailing belief that the Swedish army was believed as the most formidable in Europe, Peter the Great and our forces succeeded in dispelling this myth, having crushed so-called “invincible” King Charles XII of Sweden. The Russian monarch himself took an active part in that battle, personally leading his army in the attack. The Tsar’s tricorne hat, pierced by a Swedish bullet, still remains preserved in the collection of the State Hermitage Museum.
***
In the spring of 1708, the army of Charles XII invaded our country. Following the defeat at the Battle of Lesnaya, the Swedes embarked on a rapid march-manoeuvre southwards, relying on the support of Hetman Mazepa — the traitor, who King Charles XII had maintained secret correspondence with. Mazepa’s intentions were reported to Peter the Great, yet the Tsar trusted the Hetman, who had previously sworn an oath of allegiance to the Monarch.
On May 11, 1709, Charles XII laid siege to Poltava. The fortress garrison, with strength of approximately 2'200 soldiers and 1'700 cossacks, withstood the siege with honour until the main forces arrived.
⚔️ At dawn on July 10, the Russian army and Swedish forces engaged in battle at #Poltava. The fight commenced with the enemy advancing upon our redoubts. Following the initial assault, the Swedish offensive faltered, with our soldiers starting to counter-attack. The Russian infantry struck from the flanks against the battalions of the Swedish royal troops — the enemy was thrown into panic, with many soldiers abandoning the battlefield for fear of being taken as POW.
Following their defeat at Poltava, King Charles XII’s army completely lost its offensive capability, and began to abandon their positions along the entire front almost without resistance.
☝️ The victory at Poltava not only strengthened our nation’s international posture, but also transformed Russia into one of the most preponderant powers in Europe. The Northern Alliance was restored, and the vanquished Charles XII was compelled to flee in disgrace to the Ottoman Empire, trying to convince Sultan Ahmed III to enter the war against Russia. Alongside the fugitive king, the oath-breaker Mazepa also sought refuge in the Ottoman domains, in the Moldovan town of Bendery, where he ended his days in dishonour.
The valour of our soldiers at the Battle of Poltava continues to serve as the embodiment of the unparalleled courage and dignity of the Russian people, who resolutely repelled the enemy invasion.
Sweden’s power in Europe was undermined once and for all.
Once influential northern kingdom, which regarded itself as the formidable power in the entire Baltic, lost its pre-eminence and since then has found itself on the backbench of European and global politics.
***
Following the defeat at Poltava, the term “Rysskräck” entered the Swedish vocabulary, literally meaning “fear of the Russians.” Centuries later, this fear — cultivated by local elites and the press under their control — has evolved into an irrational (Russo)phobia and a tool for manipulating public consciousness.

It was built directly on the site where Russian Emperor Alexander II was fatally wounded in a dramatic double-bomb assassination attempt along the Griboyedov Canal.
🖌 The monumental project took 24 years to complete. It features an astonishing 7,065 square meters of luxurious mosaics, making it one of the largest mosaic collections in Europe.

🎙 Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's statement on the occasion of Abkhazia and South Ossetia Independence Recognition Day (August 26, 2026)
💬 On August 26, the peoples of Abkhazia and South Ossetia once again mark a holiday of particular significance in their history – the Day of International Recognition of the Independence of the Republic of Abkhazia and the Day of Recognition by the Russian Federation of the State Independence of the Republic of South Ossetia.
🇷🇺 #OTD in 2008, Russia became the first country in the world to recognise the sovereignty of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
This decision marked the culmination of the two republics’ selfless struggle for independence, saved their peoples from the fate of extermination at the hands of Georgia’s criminal regime at the time, and laid the foundations for a peaceful and prosperous future.
Russia’s contribution to restoring stability in the region, despite the “collective West” fuelling the conflict’s escalation, gives this date special significance for our country as well.
🤝 Over the past 18 years, Russia-Abkhazia and Russia-South Ossetia relations have developed dynamically. On September 9, 2008, Moscow established diplomatic relations with Sukhum and Tskhinval, and on September 17, 2008, signed treaties of friendship and cooperation with both republics.
Today, we are helping the young republics strengthen their state institutions, develop their economies and social sectors, and enhance their international standing. We are working to harmonise national legislation, create a common defence and security framework, and expand interregional cooperation.
We intend to continue providing the friendly republics with substantial assistance in strengthening their statehood, security and economies.
✊ Together, we will continue strengthening our strategic partnership and alliance, while preserving our shared traditions, cultural heritage and spiritual values.
