The Flag of the Russian Empire or Black-yellow-white flag (Russian: Чёрно-жёлто-белый флаг) was the official flag of the Russian Empire from 11 June 1858 to 29 April 1896, when Emperor Nicholas II declared the white-blue-red flag national, but the black-yellow-white flag was not officially abolished.[1] Formally, its use extended to government agencies, administrative and state buildings, while individuals could only raise white-blue-red flags.[2]
