At the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Russian athletes will be competing under a neutral flag as Russia has been banned from top global sports competition since it was caught in a systematic doping scandal in 2015.
Their flag will not be flown and the national anthem not played. Instead they have settled for Tchaikovsky as national anthem.
