The current Russian Border Guard ensign is green with a
blue, white-bordered saltire cross.
Tom Gregg, 04 Apr 1999
The green flag with St. Andrews Cross is indeed used by ships of the
Maritime Border Guards, part of the Federal Border-Guards Service (FPS, if I
remember the Russian abbreviation correctly), which is one of the successor
organizations of the KGB. Current photos of cutters displaying this ensign
can be found in recent editions of Jane’s Fighting Ships
[jfs]. After the breakup of the KGB, this
organization was transferred briefly to the Ministry of
Defense but soon thereafter established as a separate agency, its director
ranking as one of the "power ministers" along with the MOD and
Minister of Internal Affairs.

I visited Russian Frontier Guard Museum in
Vladivostok on Aug 26th 2009
and took some photos of some flags in display.
Victor Lomantsov kindly identified those flags
since I cannot understand Russian explanation at the museum.
