Russian party “Yabloko” uses a white flag with
its logo on it, either with or without lettering. The
logo is a pun on the party’s name, which can be
interpreted as "Я" + "блоко",
meaning "block Ya", from the party leader’s surname initial,
Григорий
Явлинский
(Grigoriĭ Âvlinskiĭ);
or as the word "яблоко"
(âbloko), meaning "apple". The logo consists of a red
circle crown (suggesting an apple) with a very thin green sector
at NW (suggesting a leave).
