Russian Federal Subject Flag Wars: Round 1

This tournament will focus on the flags of Russia’s 83 federal subjects, which includes 21 republics, 9 krais, 46 oblasts, 2 federal cities, 1 autonomous oblast, and 4 autonomous okrugs. It will not include the flags of the land stolen from Ukraine.

The tournament will be followed by the Regional Flag Wars, a huge competition featuring the flags of regions/administrative divisions, with only one flag per country. Over the past year, I’ve released numerous polls to decide which regional flag will be included for each country. Russia is the final country on the list, and it is receiving its own tournament due to having so many administrative divisions. I hope everyone enjoys this tournament and is looking forward to the Regional Flag Wars! The Russian Federal Subject Flag Wars will begin this week.

Round 1:

1. Tver Oblast vs. Amur Oblast vs. Jewish Autonomous Oblast vs. Kamchatka Krai vs. Karelia

2. Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug vs. Bashkortostan vs. Tambov Oblast vs. Udmurtia vs. Kursk Oblast

VIDEO: What we know so far about the accident with Russian Il-76 after engine fire in flight

The area of the accident is far from the Ukrainian war zone and no anti-aircraft missile could reach this distance.

A Russian Il-76 transport aircraft crashed in the Ivanovo region, near the Severny airfield, around 1 p.m. (Moscow time) on Tuesday (12/03). According to preliminary information, one of the plane's engines caught fire in flight and caused a sharp fall.

Videos of eyewitnesses show fire in one of the engines.

According to Telegram channels, the plane tried to make an emergency landing two kilometers from the airport, but without success. At the same time, the pilots managed to divert the plane from residential buildings. An eyewitness said that the Il-76 fell near a cemetery in the village of Bogorodskoye.

According to official sources speaking to the local media, the cause of the accident was a fire in one of the engines during the takeoff of the plane. A commission of the Chief Command of the Russian Aerospace Forces flew to the Ivanovo airfield.

Some reports say that none of the Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile systems could cover this region due to its removal from the combat contact line. The initial cause is that there was probably a technical malfunction of the fuel system.

Now an Il-76 went down, 700 km away from Ukraine.

Behind all their lies, all the fake bravado, there's only chaos, misery and corruption.

During the flight, the aircraft "dropped" the damaged engine and during the landing, the fuselage broke into large segments. A search for flight recorders is underway.

According to updated data, 12 people were on board - 7 crew members and 5 passengers. All given as dead. The Russian agency Tass informs 15 people on board (eight crew members and seven passengers).

The fall of the Il-76 was the second in Russia since the beginning of the year. On January 24, 2024, the Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down a plane over the Belgorod region with 74 people on board, including 65 Ukrainian military personnel, according to the press service of the Russian Ministry of Defense. They all died.

The previous crash of an aircraft of this type was in Ryazan on June 24, 2022, when five people died and four others were injured. The cause of this accident at the time was an engine malfunction.

Yurevets Povolzhsky (on the Volga) was founded in 1225 by Yuri II of Vladimir, son of Vsevolod the Big Nest (the last major ruler of Vladimir before the Mongol invasion of 1237).  Legend says that while journeying from Yaroslavl to Vladimir, Yuri camped here and had a vision of an icon of St. George.  Because of this, he built a log fort and a wooden church dedicated to St. George.  However, it was likely a practical decision to fortify a strategic river bend, as Yurevets is located where the Volga flows eastwards before turning sharply to the south towards Nizhny Novgorod.  The landscape is dominated by forested bluffs and ravines that descend to the main part of Yurevets along the river.

The settlement suffered from the Mongol invasion in the winter of 1237 – 1238, and Yuri died in March 1238 during the Battle on the Seet River.  However, under the authority of regional princes, the town gradually recovered.

In 1452, Yurevets was absorbed into the territory of Grand Prince Vasily II of Moscow.  The town was often attacked by Tatar raiders from the south, but this ended in 1552 when Ivan the Terrible conquered Kazan.  Yurevets was briefly granted to Kaibul, a Tatar prince from Astrakhan, as a favour from Ivan.

During the Time of Troubles (1598 – 1613), Yurevets organized a people's army led by Fyodor Grigorevich Krasny, a local nobleman.  In 1613, Fyodor witnessed the enthronement of Michael Romanov, the first tsar of the Romanov dynasty.

In 1651, Avvakum Petrov was the main priest in Yurevets for a short period of time.  He was uncompromising in his interpretation of proper behaviour, which led to several weeks of confrontation with parishioners.  He then left Yurevets for Moscow, where he led the opposition to Patriarch Nikon's reforms of the Russian Orthodox Church (part of the Schism of the Old Believers).

Alexander Mindovsky was a peasant who bought his freedom in 1820 and became a textile magnate.  He established the Yurevets Linen Factory in the 1870s, and his family rose to prominence in Moscow as a result.

Yurevets is well-known for its impressive churches.  The Cathedrals of the Entry into Jerusalem were built in the early 1700s, and the Dormition Cathedral in the mid-1800s.  The Bell Tower of St. George (also built in the mid-1800s) is one of the tallest bell towers on the Volga River.  It has five tiers, and contains a small church dedicated to St. George.  The cathedrals were badly damaged during the Soviet era, but the bell tower is still the town's dominant landmark.

Hydroelectric projects that came to fruition after WW2 caused a significant increase in the water level of the Volga.  When the Gorkovskoye Reservoir was completed in 1957, parts of the Volga near Yurevets widened to nearly 14.5km.  This threatened the small town of Yurevets, whose population had declined over the past 50 years to just over 8000 people.  However, a large levee was built to save much of the historic region at the edge of the river.
