According to survey conducted by the All-Russian Center for Public Opinion Research on the occasion of Russia’s National Flag Day, Russians are rather poorly versed in the arrangement of flowers on the Russian tricolor and do not know the first lines of the national anthem.
Based on the survey, the majority of Russians (more than 80%) are proud of the country’s symbols and consider it unacceptable to be ignorant of this issue, while about half of those surveyed (53%) said that ignorance of state symbols is unacceptable under any circumstances.
At the same time, the survey participants received only satisfactory marks for the test. Only half of the respondents were able to name the correct placement of the stripes on the Russian flag. The Russians did even worse while answering the question about the first line of the national anthem “Russia is our sacred power, Russia is our beloved country”. Only 17% of respondents reproduced the text accurately. The words of 40% of respondents were confused, and 42% could not recall the first line of the anthem at all.
It was the test for knowledge of the national emblem that the participants did most successfully: 73% know that it depicts a two-headed eagle.

I’m not surprised 40% were confused, they must be thinking that Russia stole the first line from some other country.
The flag was stolen from the Dutch , only the red part went from top to down…………………………………Russian steal everything, no wonder, its no country.
The flag was stolen from Serbia. They simply put it upside down.
It’s not too bad, I remember a “man on the street” interviews with some college students in the USA and they were asked, “Name 3 countries that start with the letter “U”” and like a third couldn’t even think of one even though they were standing in one ;))
There’s no ‘U’ in ‘America’. :)))
That’s right. Another question was, “Who won the Civil War?” It was funny to hear the answers, “France? Spain? …”
The Confederate States won. Easy question. 😊
Uruguay…………hahahaha
Reminds me of the street interviews they did in Moscow just after Russia invaded Crimea. The majority of Russians had no idea where Crimea was, even though it was “historically” Russian.
True, Moskali have enough problems just trying to find their outhouses in their superpower country.
What outhouses, you mean the hole in the yard?
Oh yeah, I forgot, the outhouse is where they sleep ;))

17% managed to get it right because of the ‘Infinite Monkey’ theorum.
40% confused because they were drunk.
42% could not recall because they were too drunk.
The missing 1% fell out of windows and developed fatal illnesses simultaneously shooting themselves in the back of the head.

Who is that botox gay in the middle, Berlusconi?
I don’t think he realizes that his botox makes him look more and more Mongolian. Not that that’s a bad thing, just that he considers himself a “Great Russian.”
