About the flag

It is a flag of the small town Dobryanka (in Perm Region of Russia, about 60 km to north from Perm). Designers: A. P. Zyryanov, L. A. Kolchanova. Coat of arms and flag were designed in 1997. (Were they adopted officially? I don’t know.) Coat of arms: azure, a church Argent, in chief sinister the cyrillic letter "Д" Or. Blue (azure) colour symbolizes the river Kama and it’s Reservoir.

As of 1980, Dobrânka was a city, center of a county of the same name but itself dettached from it (usual situation), being a «city subjected to a region».

Coat of arms

In descriptions: shield per fess, 1) coat of arms of Perm, 2) azure, a church Argent, in chief sinister a cyrillic letter "Д" Or. This construction of civic arms (with arms of provincial centre in upper part) is used in Russia since 1780ths. But in fact shields without provincial arms in upper part are used (since 1850ths) very often. The shield with prov. arms looks “old”.
