  The History of the British Flag
  Why is the British flag called the Union Jack?
  union — союз
  background — фон
  cross- крест
  diagonal- диагональный

  The Britain flag is called the ‘Union Jack’. The Union means “союз”. It is really three flags on top of each other — the red cross on the white background of St George for England , the white diagonal cross on the blue background of St Andrew for Scotland, and the red diagonal cross on the white background of St Patrick for Ireland. Of course, each country in Britain also has its own flag.
