I am doing a made-up work and I am curious if the various flags (national, party, government, diplomatic, etc.), military insignia, administration seals (ministries and offices), and such in the public domain in the United States or are they still controlled somehow?
have at it - Russia is so bogged down in falling individually they could care less.
on two seperate occasions in the old Soviet Republic, I purchased scads of old military medals, patches, flags, uniforms and Communist Dinner party artwork on the street from vendors making a damn good living, I might add.
There would be no way for anyone to control the use of said items. Sounds like a complimentary read, good luck to you on it.

The complexities, chaos and confusion of a bipolar frienemy are quite de luxe.
Rodina Mat' Zovyot or Mama Russia has always been a lot like hanging with a bipolar GF -- seems it's like everything is extraordinarily really great or everything really really sucks.
Sir Winnie penned a line or two himself about Collectivist Russia back in the day:
“I cannot vaticinate to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma: but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interests.”
This is noteworthy. As the daemoneoconic Dr Robert Kagan points out in "Return of History" -- the worlds largest (precisely a dozen time zones!) autocrazy lives in a tough hood.

"Indeed, modern Russia's quest for respect is so intense that it's ensured that it's warped the community view of citizens and policymakers alike, casting everything in 19th-century terms, with winners and losers and enemies in unconventional uniforms. Whether it's planting a flag on the bottom of the sea to claim the North Pole or squeezing the Americans out of a base in Kyrgyzstan, Moscow still sees statecraft as a zero-sum game where every international engagement—even supposedly friendly ones like the Eurovision Inexpensively Contest—becomes a litmus test for Russian pride and power.
