1. I've been yelling about Novorossiya since this war started.

It's clearly what Putin is talking about when he says "Ukraine is not a real country". Russia believes it belongs to them since Catherine the Great conquered it from the Ottomans, and the Communists assigning it to the Ukraine Socialist Republic in 1922 was a historical error that they have a right to correct.
If you google "Novorossiya", the images page will lead you to some very unpleasant places. Note: I don't know that the Novorossiyan "bars" flag is based on the confederate battle flag. Is that actually confirmed? |

3. I know that - I'm asking if it's actually based on the Confederate Stars and Bars.

12. Will you buy Wiki's explanation? It's based on the Russian Navy Flag.

The battle flag is based on the naval jack of the Imperial Russian Navy. Oleksandr Chalenko, who worked as a political journalist in Kiev, described the flag and explained its symbolism in an item published by Izvestia on 20 March 2014:[5]
"It's a red flag with a blue Saint Andrew's cross. The flag of the Russian Navy. Of the Navy, which played a prominent military role in the emergence and establishment of historical Novorossiya." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Novorossiya#:~:text=The%20battle%20flag%20is%20based,a%20blue%20Saint%20Andrew's%20cross.
