Marzalyuk: The white-red-white flag appeared in 1917
According to Igor Marzalyuk, the white-red-white flag was created in 1917. "There were no white-red-white cloths in the era of the GDL," said the expert. The historical flag is a historical military banner, under which our ancestors died in various battles. Polotsk principality had a banner with a golden lion on one side and the Virgin Mary on the other side. And the Grand Duchy of Lithuania had a banner under which they died in Grunwald and other battles, with aHuntemblem on the one side, and Red Virgin Mary on the other side. Thewhite-red-white flag appeared after the revolution."
The white background symbolized Belarus, and the red stripe is not the blood of Jesus Christ, it is a symbol of the proletarian revolution, a symbol of social justice. The collaborators did not appeal to the BSSR, but to the BNR as a tradition, so they sought to use this attribute. The Germans did not prevent the use of this paraphernalia. Moreover, the Germans instructed that white-red-white symbols to be posted in every school next to Hitler's portrait in 1941.
