In 1996, a decree signed by then Russian leader Boris Yeltsin defined the presidential standard, the presidential emblem and a special copy of the Constitution as the symbols of presidential power in the country.
The presidential standard (flag) is a square version of the national flag with a golden version of the state seal of the Russian Federation in the center. The cloth is edged with gold.
Attached to the flagpole is a silver cramp engraved with the president's surname, first name, patronymic and the dates of his term of office. The shaft of the standard is topped by a metal knob in the shape of a spear.
The emblem of the president is a golden cross covered with ruby enamel with branches of equal size and bearing the state seal.

The special copy of the Constitution has a red varan leather cover with gold lettering and a silver image of the Russian coat of arms. In 2000, the special copy of the Constitution was removed from the list of presidential insignia, but it still exists and is traditionally used at inaugurations.
The original standard, along with the emblem and the special copy of the Constitution, is presented to the newly elected head of state at the inauguration ceremony and later placed in his office in the Moscow Kremlin.
Meanwhile, a copy of the standard is placed above other presidential residences during the president's stay and on the vehicles used by him.
Having won the Mach 2024 presidential election, incumbent Russian President Vladimir Putin will be inaugurated on Tuesday, May 7.
