Biysk's authorities refute claims about a prohibition on displaying red flags on May 9th.
Unraveling the Bustle Over Banned "Red Flags" at Biysk's Victory Day Celebrations
The good folks of Biysk are buzzing about the restrictions set for their upcoming Victory Day festivities. The talk of the town centers around a potential prohibition on "red flags."
Here's the lowdown:
- The legislated ban pecks at flags and banners, with certain exemptions — those graced with state, commemorative, and celebratory symbols.
Social media chatter swiftly erupted, urging the reversal of such an edict:
- We hark back to the glory days of the USSR, our vibrant history echoing in every corner. The red flag, the St. George's ribbon—these are the very symbols of our never-fading history!
- Our forefathers marched under the crimson banner! It was the emblem under which our people valiantly waged war to safeguard their Motherland during the Great Victory!
In a swift turn of events, the city administration's press center vehemently disputed any such ban on the red flags.
- Permit us to clarify. In response to the list of items barred from traversing secure zones during the 80th anniversary of Victory Day celebrations, approved by the Altai Territory government on 04.14.2025, flags and banners donning state, commemorative, and celebratory symbols are indeed allowed — we hope this clears the air, they emphasized here.
It's worth noting that the red flag itself remained unchallenged; however, flagpoles or support structures of any kind must naturally assume the form of flexibility and maintain a maximum length of mere one meter.
