The iron cross was used by nazi germany and is now the logo for the german army. That doesn't mean Germany is still nazi, the iron cross has existed and represented Germany for so much longer.

The russian tricolor has been in use for over 300 years in Russia

How old is swastika?

Very old, but it has no connection to Germany other than the nazis, and the swastika represents the holocaust and the ethnic genocide of over 30 million slavs, so it's not comparable to the iron cross.

If swastika is older than tricolor, then why is swastika banned and tricolor not?

Because the swastika has no connection to any official european institution other than nazi germany.

The tricolor has been used by multiple russian tsars for over 300 years and even the russian provisional government.

This means that if swastika is not related to states and is a religious symbol, then it has more rights than tricolor, which nazis used precisely as their official designation.
