Adopted 21 November 1949. Light blue bar in base, covering
1/3 of the height. See here detailed
construction information of the
hammer and sickle.

According to Constitution of Ukrainian SSR: the distance from the hoist of
the flag to the centre of star (and of the hammer-and-sickle, of course) is
equal to 1/3 of flag’s length.

No hammer, sickle and star on the

Officially reverse looked like obverse without star and hammer-sickle.
But in fact I never saw these flags without star, hammer-sickle. Real flags
(all 15) usually were either with reverse analogous
to obverse (but with star and hammer-and-sickle near the hoist) or with
reverse = mirrored obverse.
