Muscovites and visitors from across the nation celebrated Russia’s National Flag Day at Poklonnaya Hill in the Russian capital, Saturday. To start proceedings, two columns of 40 motorcyclists carried a huge Russian tricolor to the park, one of the highest points in Moscow. The delivery of the flag was followed by displays of strength by some of Russia’s strongest athletes. Events included pulling a truck and weightlifting. National Flag Day became a holiday in 1994, created to commemorate the events of 1991 when the three-color flag was first hoisted over the Russian Supreme Soviet building, replacing the Soviet banner.
