Red Banner (Russian: Красное знамя) was a symbol of revolutionary struggle used in the late Russian Empire, in Soviet Russia, and in the USSR. It has also been used as the background of the Soviet state flag and other similar flags.
Military units, institutions and organizations (of the Soviet Army, Soviet Navy, MVD Internal Troops, etc.) awarded with the Order of the Red Banner are referred to with the honorific title "of the Red Banner" (Краснознамённый (krasnoznamyonny), e.g. The Red Banner Baltic Fleet or "The Twice Red Banner Alexandrov Soviet Army Choir").
Civilian establishments awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labour are also sometimes addressed with the "Red-Banner" honorific.
