Border Guard ensign

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.

Ceremonial Colours

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.
