Overview

"Anti-war demonstrations opposing the 2014 Russian military intervention in Ukraine have been ongoing. Protesters held two rallies on 2 March. The 15 March anti-war protests, named the March of Peace (Russian:Марш Мира), took place in Moscow a day before the Crimean referendum. The protests have been the largest in Russia since the2011–13 Russian protests by the Russian opposition against the alleged electoral fraud committed by United Russia during the 2011 Russian legislative election. Reuters reported that 30,000 people participated in the 15 March demonstrations."

Is this a Civic movement? Is it registered officially as a political movement? Does it have any officials elected?

This is a flag of a kind of resistance movement. I haven't find more information about this organization (if it is that at all), but there is a white flag with a black disc wearing a white hand, and there is a Russian inscription under it: "сопротивление" means "resistance". You can see this flag in better conditions in this video (at 4:04)
