Question

Answer 1

Well, I don't know who thought of it, but I know that those were specific colors which signified Unity and Freedom.

Answer 2

The Americans admired the pan-Slavic colors (red, white, and blue) that are on the Russian Federation's flag so much that they decided to use the same colors.

And don't say that the Russian Federation's flag design came about only recently; it did, but Peter the Great established the colors as part of a Russian maritime flag, and that was a very long time ago.
