Overview

In this news video shown yesterday on Noticias UNO (News ONE, an independent TV news broadcaster in Colombia) they show the mourning rally for the slain Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov held in Moscow. One can also see another red horizontal flag with Cyrillic inscription below what seems to be a slogan or an abbreviation (also in Cyrillic) with a white star as seen at 1:11 onwards in the video.

A variant of the flag with purple field (a lighter shade, sometimes looking more like violet) also exists; the photos are available here: https://pramen.io/ru/2018/06/moskva-anarhisty-protiv-pytok-i-repressij/

This field color stands for feminism.
However, in recent years, a Feminist Platform (Feministskaya platforma) of the RSM was organized, which uses a more complex and distinctive flag, on which the RSM logo is placed over a symbol composed of a globe and a female symbol in a very light pink shade, looking like a "semi-transparent" white, with the group name inscribed in white along the top edge of the symbol, all on deep pink field.

Another variant of the RSM flag has black field, which probably stands for protest - RSM is a Trotskyist movement, not Anarchist, although it does frequently cooperate with various Anarchist organizations and various Anarchist flags are seen together with those of the RSM on many photos.
