Russian athletes competed in the 2020 Summer Paralympics under the acronym of the Russian Paralympic Committee (RPC), using a flag depicting a one-off emblem representing the committee.
On 9 December 2019, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) had banned Russia from all international sport for a period of four years, after the Russian government was found to have tampered with lab data that it provided to WADA in January 2019 as a condition of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency being reinstated. This penalty was later reduced to two years, and Russian athletes were permitted to compete as long as they used a non-national flag and delegation name. On 26 April 2021, it was confirmed that Russian athletes would compete under the name "RPC" as long as the full name of the organization was not used, and that the delegation would use a specially created emblem representing the Russian Paralympic Committee (as the actual emblem of the committee features the Russian national flag). This was slated to apply to both the 2020 Summer Paralympics and the 2022 Winter Paralympics; however, the team was ultimately banned from the latter due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022.

Sanction stipulations
On 9 December 2019, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) banned Russia from all international sport for four years, after it was found that data provided by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency had been manipulated by Russian authorities with a goal of protecting athletes involved in its state-sponsored doping scheme. Russian athletes would be allowed to participate in the Paralympic under a neutral flag and with a neutral designation.
Russia later appealed against the WADA decision in the CAS. On 17 December 2020, the CAS announced its decision, reducing the suspension to two years and allowing Russian athletes to participate under the flag of the Russian Paralympic Committee, rather than under a neutral flag, and use the Russian national colours.
For all victory ceremonies, Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 will be used in lieu of the Russian national anthem.
