There's One Rainbow Flag the Kremlin Hasn't Banned
The flag of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast wasn't deemed "gay propaganda."
Since Russia passed its ban on "gay propaganda" in June, all things rainbow have come under attack. It's affected legitimate political protest statements, but also, inadvertently, the packaging on a milk and yogurt brand and those stylish German Olympic uniforms.
Most recently under fire was an actual government-sanctioned flag (perhaps unsurprising, given the country's reputation for bizarre local banners.) But don't worry. The Kremlin's in-house flag experts have declared that the official flag of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, a region of about 175,000 in the far east of Russia, doesn't need to go.
