Taymyr was set up in 1930.
António Martins, 11 Mar 2000
A sparsely population region, the Taimyr Autonomous region has a
population comprising five ethnic groups, Russians (Slavs), Nentsky,
Yakuts, Evenki
and Dolgany.
Stuart Notholt, 25 Nov 1995
Dolgans and Nenets are a different peoples (Dolgans from the turkic language
group, altaic language family; Nenets from the samoyed language group, uralic
language family). The territory was named after both and also after the local
toponym Taymyr Peninsula. The official name is
Таймырский
(Долгано-Ненецкий)
автономный
округ (Taĭmyrskiĭ
(Dolgano-Neneckiĭ) avtonomnyĭ okrug), making the short name
Taymyr vary handy.
António Martins, 11 Mar 2000
The islands Severnaâ Zemlâ (Northern
Land) are part of Taymyr (itself part of
Krasnoyarsk Region).
According to my newer Russian atlases, these
islands are (very sparsely) inhabited exclusively
by russians. Any local flags would be town flags
(that may exist, but I doubt that it
is a priority for local leaders).
António Martins, 07 Aug 1999
I received yesterday from the Administration of Tajmyr (Dolgan-Nenets)
autonomous district of the Russian Federation the flag of this autonomous
district. This flag was authorized by the Decision Nº 4-053-P on May 23rd,
2000. The coat of arms of this autonome district was authorized on March
25th, 1998.
Mikhail Revnivtsev, 2002 Mar 06
From Mikhail Revnivtsev’s paper in recent issue of
Vexilologie 120 [vex]:
Taymyr Autonomous District - light blue flag, the white circle has
diameter identical to 1/2 of the flag width, flag ratio 2:3. Adopted
23-05-2000.
Jan Zrzavy, 14 Jul 2003
It shows on the light blue background a white disk (the sun?)
behind the goose, and four rays on the cardinal positions.

In the new volume of Vexilologie
[vex], there is an article by
Mikhail Revnivtsev [rev01]
about some Russian regional flags is published. New data on
Taymyr (Dolgan-Nenets) Autonomous District - no flag!
(There is only the arms, blue shield with the Siberian goose
and "Arctic sun" emblem, but the reported armorial banner is
not official district flag.)
Jan Zrzavy, 17 Jul 2001
The Taimyr flag has been reported as comprising three
stripes of white over green over white, with a red stripe
at the hoist.
Stuart Notholt, 25 Nov 1995
This flag is listed under number 127 at the chart Flags
of Aspirant Peoples [eba94] as:
«Taimyr (Dolgano-Nenets) - North Siberia».
Ivan Sache, 15 Sep 1999
Also a flaf white - green - white with red band at hoist is atribued to
Taymir (1992) and to the “Republic of Nenets” (Emblèmes et Pavillons
44 [eep]).
Jaume Ollé, 27 Feb 2000
This flag and “Republic of Nenets” are fictions! I think it is a
fantasy of O. Tarnovsky…
Victor Lomantsov, 07 Apr 2000
Taymir has blue - white - blue flag and central device (two
concentric red circles).
Jaume Ollé, 27 Feb 2000
This flag, in medium blue, is listed under number 86 at the chart
Flags of Aspirant Peoples [eba94] as:
«Yamalo-Nenets (Yamals & Nenets) -
North Russia».
Ivan Sache, 15 Sep 1999
This flag is a fiction! I think it is a fantasy of O. Tarnovsky…
Victor Lomantsov, 07 Apr 2000
The flag of Norilsk takes over the elements of the coat of arms.
The flag is divided vertically dark-blue and red. Overall a polar
bear carrying a key over his head.
