Russian army march in front of Putin and George Bush

[Bladibla]

I remember watching the BBC news seeing a sickle and a hammer in a Russian army march in front of Putin and George Bush.

My question is: Is the russian Flag the red, blue and white stripes? OR is there something I'm not aware of?

Yes, white blue end red striped is the russian flag, the other is of the former soviet union (red w/ the sickle and hammer).

Funny thing is though, unless i am foolish and am retarded, i remember seeing the hammer and sickle flag on the army of Putin..

Now Putin isn't part of Soviet union, at least from what i know.

It was probably because that was the Soviet flag during WWII, which they were commemorating.

Ah, that would be a valid explanation. Cheers!
