During the presidential election campaign in Russia earlier this summer,
I noticed candidate Alexander Lebed being interviewed on TV in front of a
couple of flags (hanging on the wall behind him). The first flag was the
Russia white-blue-red with a large light blue canton
(covering the two upper bands) containing a white star. In the centre of the
star appeared a dark blue disk with a triangle in orange.
The second flag consisted of the light blue canton
only.

The blue circle with the orange triangle is the
worldwide accepted symbol of civil
defence.

That is the flag of the Ministry of Extraordinary Situations.

Here "Extraordinary Situations" means "emmergencies".
