Looking for someone that could give info of what a black flag on a video represents/says. The black flag appears here at 1:04.
Looking at the video it seems that the police only target the individual carrying the flag. The video a report about the Navalny arrest today.
Didn’t know where to ask here on lemmy , couldn’t find a russian/vexillology communitie here, if this doesnt fit here I will delete it
Russian is one of my native languages though it helps very little here as I couldn’t spot any Russian on the video, it’s all in Portuguese or something. I’m not from Russia, so have a little idea on the flag, and it’s poorly visible anyway. However, it’s likely as the previous commenter said, could be an anarchists’ flag.
Correct, it’s a news article in Portuguese. Let me describe it: “The leader of the Russian opposition, Alexei Navalny is going to spend 2 years + 8 months in a penal colony… over violating the terms in a sentence from 2014 that transitioned from suspended to effective.” Then it goes on to several of his supporters (thousands) getting arrested during the audience/protests. Some over his alleged poisoning, which the Kremlin denied. When an European Diplomatic leader visited they said that they wouldn’t take lessons from Brussels.
