Yeah, very similar.

Blue X on the white background in the middle is old Russian naval ensign. Don't know what red represents. Maybe it was picked deliberately to remind of Confederate flag and express anti-Americanism.

I asked myself if it's a reference or a call to USA southerns?
I didn't find any explanation about novorossiya flag.

But those who wave the confederate flag are usually patriots.

Confederate flag is symbol of rebellion and south(some people would add a thing or two more) so the connection is obvious. I only wonder has Russian heraldry inspired them, because it is possible to make this flag out of historical and present Russian flags.

Similiar, but I like Dixie more :)

yes. faster of all they did it knowingly.

for your fun, flag of other small rebel republic - Abchasia
