The first appearance of the flag was probably in the 14th or 15th century after Russia moved their capital from Kiev to Moscow in order to pay financial tribute to the Buddhist mongols who conquered Russia in the 13th century.

Lithuania and Poland expelled the mongols from Kievian Russia in the 13th and 14th centuries. Then Kievian Russia became the Ukraine.

After after the 13th and 14th centuries the mongols converted to islam....The Russians used the flag in military battles against the mongols Tartars and probably later Poland and the Dutch mercenaries known as the Teutonic knights..

You're directly parroting Muscovite propaganda.

Oh wait you're a Kyrillite?

How about learning to read and write properly before talking about "intellectual facts".
