Many Slavic nations choose after 1848 flags in the colors white, blue and red, because they saw in Russia a model, the Russians were the only free Slavic nation. All other Slavic nations lived under Austrian, Turkish or even German rule.
That political current, which trys to agree all Slavs in one nation under the colors white, blue and red, is named panslavism, and the colors white, blue and red are named from there pan-Slavic colors.

The Bulgarians owe the Russians their freedom, and introduced a flag, which equals the Russian flag, however got the blue stripe substituted by a green.
