The flag of the self-proclaimed confederation of Novorossiya (New Russia) is a variant of the battle flag which was adopted on 24 May 2014, with the addition of the coat of arms. A tricolor was presented on 13 August 2014 by Oleg Tsarev as a potential state flag.〔Lenta.ru: (Tsarev presented the new flag of Novorossiya )〕〔LifeNews: (Oleg Tsarev presented the new flag of Novorossiya )〕 This resembled an upside-down Romanov flag, which was the national flag of the Russian Empire from 1858 to 1883. However, it has not seen widespread usage, and is seemingly unadopted. Novorossiyia was an unrecognised confederation of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, claiming the territory of the respective Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine. On 20 May 2015 the leadership of the Federal State of Novorossiya announced the 'freezing' of the confederation 'project'.〔(Russian-backed 'Novorossiya' breakaway movement collapses ), Ukraine Today (20 May 2015 ==Battle flag== The battle flag appears to be based on the naval jack of the Russian Federation. Aleksandr Chalenko, who worked as a political journalist in Kiev, described the flag and explained its symbolism in an item published by ''Izvestia'' on 20 March 2014:
The flag bears a strong, striking resemblance to that of the Confederate States of America's navy jack and battle flag.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ukraine News One: 'Novorossiya' flag appears uncannily like 'Dixie' (VIDEO) )〕 However, Pavliv explains that he had simply stumbled upon the flag online somewhere, and that the leader of the New Russia Party, Pavel Gubarev, later picked it up.〔 Gubarev has since stated that the inspiration for the flag came from "banners used by Cossacks who reclaimed the New Russian territories from Tatars and Turks for Russia in the 18th century"; however according to Alexey Eremenko of the ''Moscow Times'', no Cossacks ever used a flag resembling the one chosen.〔 〕 On 15 May 2014 the Russian on-line newspaper ''Vzglyad'' noted that the then Governor of the Donetsk People's Republic, Pavel Gubarev, had announced the start of voting for a flag of the proposed state of Novorossiya.〔 〕 the Novorossiya website invites its readers to vote for one of eleven proposed flag designs for New Russia - with Option 1 the red-blue Saint Andrew's saltire. 〔 〕 Following the proposition of the white-yellow-black tricolour as the national flag, the saltire was then adopted as the battle flag of the republic,〔http://tsarov.com.ua/novosti/novosti-oleg-tsarov/zasedanie-konkursnoj-komissii-na-luchshuyu-simvoliku-novorossii.html〕 while a variant with the coat of arms is in use as ''de facto'' national flag since. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flag of Novorossiya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
