The white-red-white flag has been used in protests against the government, most recently the 2020–21 Belarusian protests, and by the Belarusian diaspora. Opposition groups have continued to use this flag, though its display in Belarus has been restricted by the government of Belarus, which claims it was linked with Nazi collaboration during World War II. This design replaced the historical white-red-white flag used by the Belarusian Democratic Republic in 1918 before Belarus became a Soviet Republic, then by the Belarusian national movement in West Belarus followed by widespread unofficial use during the Nazi occupation of Belarus between 19, and again after it regained its independence in 1991 until the 1995 referendum. Since the 1995 referendum, several flags used by Belarusian government officials and agencies have been modelled on this national flag. Changes made to the Soviet-era flag were the removal of communist symbols – the hammer and sickle and the red star – as well as the reversal of the colours in the ornament pattern. It is a modification of the 1951 flag used while the country was a republic of the Soviet Union. The current design was introduced in 2012 by the State Committee for Standardisation of the Republic of Belarus, and is adapted from a design approved in a May 1995 referendum.
