This Russian Soviet Tricolor Patch combines a red Soviet flag design with the white, blue and red colours of the Russian tricolor. A diagonal division runs from the lower left toward the upper right, placing a yellow hammer, sickle and star in the red upper section. The tricolor occupies the opposing portion of the rectangular face, with a red outer border surrounding both parts.

The composition brings two different state flag traditions into one design. The hammer and sickle identifies the Soviet element, while the horizontal white, blue and red bands identify the Russian one. The combined face is therefore best described as a contemporary hybrid flag design. Its diagonal arrangement is an important part of the identification, since it differs from two complete flags placed next to each other.

The red Soviet flag with its hammer and sickle belonged to the USSR’s state imagery. The white, blue and red flag returned to state use in Russia in August 1991. These historical references explain the two sources used in the pictured composition. The date of that change concerns the flags themselves and should be distinguished from the manufacture of this individual patch, whose appearance is recorded in the supplied photograph.

As a USSR Russia flag badge, the piece can be compared with plain Soviet flags and plain tricolor tabs. Here the hammer and sickle insignia remains visible in the upper left, while the white and blue bands stand out on the right. The lower red section blends visually with the surrounding red field, making the diagonal edge and contrasting bands particularly useful for recognising this version.

For collectors arranging a Russian historical flag patch by its actual design, the combination of a diagonal layout, yellow Soviet devices and modern national colours provides the relevant description. There is no written motto or formation name on the visible face. The front photograph shows the entire individual specimen, including its red perimeter and the junction between the two flag elements. One patch is offered at €25, with one available. The listing is for the combined flag design shown, with both sources of imagery preserved together on the same rectangular face rather than represented as separate items.
