Saint Petersburg Flagpoles
The Saint Petersburg Flagpoles are the world's third tallest flagpoles at 175 m (574 ft 2 in) tall.

Located at the Park of the 300th Anniversary of St Petersburg, near the Lakhta Center in Saint Petersburg, they were erected in June 2023. The flags are the current flag of the Russian Federation, the flag of the Russian Empire and the flag of the Soviet Union.

The raising of the flags marked the following anniversaries:

330th anniversary of Peter the Great's tricolour

165 years of Tsar Alexander II's black-yellow-white flag

100 years of the institution of the red flag

The project was implemented by majority state-owned Gazprom, which is headquartered nearby at the Lakhta Centre.

Black-yellow-white flag of the Russian Empire
The black-yellow-white flag (Russian: черно-желто-белый флаг, romanised: cherno-zhelto-belyy flag) was an official flag of the Russian Empire from 11 June 1858, until it was de facto abolished on 29 April 1896 by order of Nicholas II, although it was never officially rescinded in law. It was formally used as the state and war flag of Russia, only for use by government agencies and state buildings, with the traditional white-blue-red flag remaining in use for private purposes. The colours are in reference to Peter the Great, who used the colours on his ship's standard with a black two-headed eagle.

Since its abolishment, the flag has been used by various monarchist movements in Russia seeking for the re-establishment of the tsar, including during the Soviet Union and Russian Federation, as well as in various protests against the government. It has also been controversially adopted by several nationalist and far-right movements in Russia.
Baṛī ye
Baṛī ye (Urdu: بَڑی يے, Urdu pronunciation: [ˈbəɽiː ˈjeː]; lit. 'greater ye'), also spelled bari ye, baree ye barree ye, or badi ye, is a letter of the Arabic script, originally used in the Urdu alphabet, directly based on the alternative "returned" variant of the final form of the Arabic letter ye/yāʾ (known as yāʾ mardūda) found in the Hijazi, Kufic, Thuluth, Naskh, and Nastaliq scripts. It functions as the word-final yā-'e-majhūl ([eː]) and yā-'e-sākin ([ɛː]). It is distinguished from the "choṭī ye (چھوٹی يے; "lesser ye")", which is the regular Perso-Arabic yāʾ (ی) used elsewhere. In Punjabi, where it is a part of the Shahmukhi alphabet, it is called waḍḍī ye (Punjabi: وَڈّی یے), also meaning "greater ye". In the context of Urdu and Shahmukhi, it is written as ए/े (for yā-'e-majhūl) and ऐ/ै (for yā-'e-sākin) in Devanagari and ਏ/ੇ (for yā-'e-majhūl)  and ਐ/ੈ (for yā-'e-sākin) in Gurmukhi.
