Russian tricolor

[Valery Belyanin]

It may not be related to the origin of the flag but I would like to say a
word after a long silence:).
It is easy to remember the sequence of the colours - white, blue and red in
Russian flag in Russian language like this:
Belyj, Sinij, Krasnuj - BaSiK ("basic" stands for an old computer language)
or as I was told recently there is another version if we look at the flag
from below::
Krasnuj, Goluboj, Belyj which can be remembered as KGB "snizu vverh" (from 
bottom to head) :)
