Hello!
I, as a history buff, is very confused by the Ukrainian flag of the Russian Empire! Initially, the seal of Ivan III depicts St. George (the rider with a spear striking a serpent) - a symbol of Moscow and the entire principality of Moscow. Shortly after the marriage of the Grand Duke with the Byzantine Princess Sofia Paleolog during the successful construction of the Russian statehood, the emblem of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which already included Yaroslavl, Novgorod, Tver and Perm lands, became the two-headed eagle, embodies the sovereign power and greatness of the state. Over the centuries, the double-headed eagle becomes the emblem and symbol of the Russian state, experiencing with different rulers significant changes made by almost every Russian monarch. The first Russian “emperor” Ivan the Terrible uses precisely the double-headed eagle, but not the emblem of the Rurikovich dynasty!
