The Russian flag in turn is believed to have influenced many flags of other Slavic countries, resulting in many red-white-blue styled tribands in other parts of Europe, and also the red-white-green flag of Bulgaria. [[Peter the Great]] of Russia was building a new Russian Navy mostly on Dutch standards; therefore the [[Merchant flag|merchant]] [[flag of Russia]] at sea would be the inverted colours of the [[Statenvlag|Dutch flag]].<ref name=":7" />
