About these flags

The general design is similar to early 19th cent. regimental flags.

Ministry of Defence

image by Klaus-Michael Schneider, 28 February 2014

During a report upon the Crimea Crisis a Russian Flag could be seen. Ratio like national flag, i.e. 2:3, design similar to the Defence Minister's flag, but with silver double-eagle and without fringes, red disc and wreath. So my first guess is, it has something to do with the Ministry of Defence.

I notice this flag uses the 1858-1883 colors, which is especially evident when comparing with the minister's flag, which uses the national colors. Any idea why?
