This flag was personally designed by Peter the Great and a sketch of it is still conserved in the Kercenskij Museum. The design of the blue S. Andrew cross remained, from 1712, only on the white field of the naval ensign, while flags of this model were given in 1699 to the Czar ambassadors in Ukraina and Costantinopole, but disappeared very soon.
Mario Fabretto, 27 Nov 1998

In one of the worlds first flagbooks, compiled by Carel Allard (from Amsterdam) in 1695 [ala95], shows three Russian flags:

horizontal white-blue-red, over all (shifted to the hoist) a golden double headed eagle with a red shield (with St.George, without the dragon) on its chest and a golden crown over its heads. Caption: Czar of Moscovia. (See here.)
horizontal white-blue-red, over all a blue saltire. Ratio of the flag aprox. 1:3. Caption: Other flag of Czar of Moscovia.
quarterly red and white, a blue cross over all. Caption: another Moscovian flag. (See here.)

Mark Sensen, 25 Nov 1998, quoting [sie96]

1699-1914 civil ensign

image by António Martins, 21 Oct 1997

The plain white-blue-red horizontal tricolor was adopted as the Russian civil ensign in 1799. In 1858, a black - golden yellow - white horizontal tricolor was adopted as the civil flag but it got highly unpopular and so in 1883, the civil ensign was adopted as an alternate civil flag.
Tom Gregg, 09 Jan 1997

This is misprint. Correct date is 1699.
