Did you know that the flag of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast was investigated by Russian authorities because of its similarity to the rainbow pride flag?
The flag of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, a federal subject of Russia in the Far East, is a white field with seven thin horizontal stripes of red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, blue, and purple in the center, each separated from adjacent stripes by a thinner white stripe. The current design was adopted on 27 November 1996; the oblast's first flag was adopted on 31 July 1996 and had a similar design, albeit with even thinner stripes and no white stripes in between. The Heraldic Council of the President of the Russian Federation investigated and cleared the flag of violations of the Russian anti-LGBTQ law enacted in 2013.
