Description of the flag

Flag of Russsian airborne force (VDV). You can see this flag in the TV reportings about Russian peacekeepers in Kosovo.

I think it is not official.

Ryazan High Command Airborne School

Not so long ago we “discovered” a site showing several Soviet and Russian flags at http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Bunker/5153/banner.htm. One of the things shown there is a souvenir flag (of the Airborne school, or something similar) which included 2x light blue- 1x green ornamentation beside the Russian flag. I suggested that there might be some connection and that there might be such blue-green flag for paratroopers, either in the modern Russia or in the SU.

It is the pennant of Ryazan High Command Airborne School.
