National Socialist Revolutionary Movement "Black Sun"
(Национал-социалистическое революционное движение "Чёрное солнце",
Natsional-sotsialisticheskoye revolyutsionnoye dvizheniye "Chornoye Solntse") is
a neo-Nazi organization from Russia. Its flag is a black-red-black horizontal
triband, red stripe a bit wider than the black ones, with a large Black Sun
symbol in white over all. The symbol looks like the mirror-image of its usual
depiction. The photos of this flag can be found here:

http://komitetns.org/russkij-marsh-protiv-diktatury-obzor-aktsij-v-regionah.
They all date from 2016, so the organization must have been founded earlier that
year or shortly before, and the same applies to introduction of its flag.
[A note on Russian spelling: letter "ё" - transcribed as "yo" or "o",
depending on the position - is usually replaced with the letter "е"-
transcribed likewise as "ye" or "e" - so "Чёрное" is often written as "Черное"
and transcribed as "Chernoye" - even though it has not been pronounced like that
for centuries, the use of modified letter has almost never been obligatory. For
more about the issue, see at
Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yo_(Cyrillic)
However, during last
several years, there has been an increase of the
Internet use of Yo letter, often citing the patriotic reasons - that
it is a
Russian letter, so it shall be always used in Russian texts wherever
necessary. Still an ambiguity remains regarding that, even in
the
ultra-nationalist sites like the above sources, where examples of both spellings
are found.]
