Does anyone have any links to RCW flags? I'm looking for Bolshevik naval flags - I've got one flag but need three as I'm finishing three units. Woo hoo!
Thanks!

Only one I can think of specifically is this one. Click Download and then RCW on the next page. Only one naval flag that I can see, though, sorry.

These are mostly black and white, but they may still be of some interest.

Click on the flag's name to see it on this one.

But if you go on the following link:
http://gauntletinternational.com/flags/RCWFlagOverview.html
you will get some really nice printable flags ready to use!
I do not think that there were specific navy flags for the reds. Usually sailors were mixed in the normal units of red guards. Individual naval units can use a plain red flag.
As a humble suggestion: take the naval flag from the danish site, keep the anchors design add other letters in Cyrillic (maybe our russian speaking friends can give specific ideas) or add some revolutionary designs -such as a golden sickle and hammer design and you have some variety in your flags.
-
Thanks very much! I didn't care much for the "textured" look at the Danish site (been there before) or the modern look to the cyrillic text. I did like the suggestions offered - really good stuff! Thanks!

MS WordArt lets you generate empty text, which you can curve. You can then stick this into a drawing program and colour it in. That allows you to quickly generate new flags.
I have only drawn one flag for sailors. The text is for Torpedo Odessa. That is because all my non-divisional units are named like Soviet era soccer teams from the Ukraine - there is a Locomotiv Kharkov and a Spartak Kiev too.

The image is pretty grainy, but I paint all mine anyway, so they don't need to be too exact.

God your good Plant!

The Flag with anchor - an atheletic command.

Here is drawings real existed flag on photography.
The Back, regrettably, not known. Possible - simply red.

1) "Death to bourgeoisies!"
2) " Long live revolutionary red fleet. All sailors on protection of the revolutions!"
-

I like these ;)

Very nice. One of these days I'm going to have to get some Black Army flags done (that is, for Mahkno, not my company.)

Thank you, cuprum:) I will definitely make use of this.

Very cool.
Tell me, cuprum, I looked at on of your links and found a curious Siberian flag with a Christian cross over a crecent moon. Looked like quite a melange. I tried to run the website through babelfish (since I don't read Russian) but turned out mostly gobbledigook. Could you explain that flag?
-
This symbol?
(http://www.kolchakiya.narod.ru/vexillologiya/0032.jpg)
The Crescent with ancient timeses was shown by state sign Byzantine, and only after 1453, when Konstantinopol was will take the turk, this christian symbol became the official allegory Osman empires. The tsarist power symbolized In orthodox Byzantine crescent.Means that temple this belongs to Reign all reigning and Gentlemen all dominating.
Is it Often used in orthodox symbology in such combination with cross. To islam relations has not.

Thanks for sharing your insights!

Spassiba, Cuprum.
I have often wondered about the combination of symbols, as it occurs frequently in Polish Seventeenth Century flags. What makes it (still) a mystery is that the Poles were Catholic and not Orthodox.
As well, westerners think that the 6-pointed star is a Jewish symbol. Can you explain how it fits in with Christian symbols in the flag?
Again, the 6-pointed star is frequently featured on Polish flags in the 1600's.
-
In east regions of Poland even now 1000000 orthodox believers. In a XVII-th century and some Polish magnates were orthodox, besides, the structure of Poland included orthodox Ukraine. So use of orthodox symbolics in Poland is quite pertinent.
The six-final star is used in Orthodoxy on a level with eight-final, as an image of the Bethlehem star, a symbol Presvjatoj of the Virgin, a sign on wisdom of God and perfection of Its creations, unities of the sky and the earth.
This symbol is known since antiquated times when it expressed hope of people of occurrence of the Savior.
-
Thanks again. That was very helpful.

Technically they are "Uniate" or "Eastern Catholic". They acknowledge the Pope, and so they are often lumped with the Catholics, which tends to keep them from view from us in the West. But they keep to Orthodox liturgy and practices -- their clergy marry, for example. So they are Orthodox in most senses.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Catholic_Churches
If you drive through east Poland you will often see two churches beside each other in the towns -- one a Roman Catholic and the other the Orthodox "Catholic".
Very big in the Ukraine too:

No mark, they are not - yo uare mixing so called Greko-Catholic with Russian Orthodox ( "Prawoslawni" ). Cuprum most likely meant the latter.

According to an old Ukrainian-Canadian girlfriend I had back in the '80's, there are still emigre families from L'vov who feud over the Orthodox-Catholic schism to this day.

Perhaps he meant both. No reason not to, they're all Orthodox.
You can't get to 1,000,000 with only Eastern Orthodox in Poland.

You need to count the Uniate as well, and then you reach about a million (though it depends a bit on who is counting).
And, of course, that is modern Poland. Previously Poland was much more Orthodox (both varieties).
-
Well ,strictly speaking they are not both Orthodox (although personally I dont care much either way ha ha.. :) ) . Greko-Catholics in Poland are minority within minority. It is basically part of Ukrainian Orthodox community that was forced by Polish authorities around late 20s/early 30s to turn Catholic (there were bitter Polish-Ukrainian conflicts in Poland at that time). Just my few pennies.

Cuprum,
Do you have a vertical version of that flag for use on figures; it's great.
Spaceba!
-
Here the top flag.

At the bottom flag a back - simply red colour.
Soon on we wash a site I will expose on sale the flags of various armies of Civil war printed on a self-glued paper. All reconstruction will be executed on the scale of 1/48 on the basis of a photo or the remained copies. At necessity, the size will be corrected under scale necessary for you.
Also manufacturing of paper banners on предоставленой you of the information on any theme interesting you is possible.

Cuprum, благодарю вас! Я был бы очень заинтересован в более флаги, как это определенно особенно для красных в Петрограде 1919 года и Северо-Запад Белой армии 1919 года. Spaceba!
Cuprum,
I hope that makes sense; I'm trying a new online translator called Babelfish. Thank You! That flag is excellent. I would be very interested in more flags like this definately especially for Reds at Petrograd 1919 and Northwest White Army 1919. Spaceba!
-
It is glad, that has managed to help.
Your letter in Russian - is quite clear.
My basic interest in the period of Civil war in Russia - Siberia and Central Asia. But I will try to pick up for your request in "archive" banners of the period of fights for Petrograd.
-
That would be great; also interested in Siberia now that I have seen the trailer for Admiral - inspiring stuff.
Listening to: Shostakovich symphony no. 12 Op. 112 - "The Year of 1917" - "Revolutionary Petrograd".
