Flags of the Soviet Republics
|
Flags of the Soviet Socialist Republics all featured predominantly red flag with hammer and sickle that both symbolised communism, quite similar to the flag of the Soviet Union. Their final versions prior to the dissolution of the USSR in 1991 looked like this:
Flag of Russian SFSR | Flag of Ukrainian SSR | Missing image Flag-byelorussian-ssr.png Flag of Byelorussian SSR |
Flag of Georgian SSR | Flag of Azerbaijan SSR | Missing image Flag-armenian-ssr.png Flag of Armenian SSR |
Flag of Kazakh SSR | Flag of Uzbek SSR | Missing image Flag-tadzikh-ssr.png Flag of Tadzhik SSR |
Missing image Flag-kirghiz-ssr.png Flag of Kirghiz SSR | Flag of Turkmen SSR | Missing image Estonian_SSR_flag_large.png Flag of Estonian SSR |
Missing image Flag-latvian-ssr.png Flag of Latvian SSR | Flag of Lithuanian SSR | Flag of Moldavian SSR |
Nowadays the former Soviet Union territories that use modified versions of their original soviet flag are the unrecognized republic of Transdnistria (former region of Moldavian SSR) and Belarus (since 1995).
