I've seen Bosnians burning Serbian flags on the TV. No Slav would do that to other Slavic flag.
I remember, back at the time when there were wars in Chechnya, there were a lot of street demonstrations here against Russia (as it usually happens when Russians attack someone, e.g. Georgia not so long ago). I am absolutely sure that Russian flag was burnt at least once. I remember that one of roundabouts in Warsaw was renamed in honour of Chechnya's president Dzhokhar Dudayev assassinated by Russians. 'In revenge' Russians renamed the street in Moscow where Polish embassy stands after Mikhail 'the Hanger' Muravyov-Vilensky, atrocious Russian governor responsible for cruel repressions against Poles and Lithuanians at the time of January Uprising. I remember reading in newspapers that during protests in front of Polish embassy in Moscow (against the name of our roundabout) Polish flag was also burnt. That's just one example.
