Project (not adopted, of course) of flag of President, author
emigrant M.Bytinsky, 1930'.

At <www.heritage.com.ua>,
located by Dov Gutterman, there is an article of
well-known Ukrainian vexillologist and heraldist A.Grechilo. He
describes national symbols of Ukraine. Article is written still
in communist period (1989). Flag of Ukraine in that time was the
Soviet red flag with a blue stripe at the bottom. The author
proves, that the national symbolics is not "bad".
In this article he describe, between other things, flags and Coat of Arms
(triangle flags, flags with the Coat of Arms in the centre etc.)
which are projects designed in 1930' by Ukrainian emigrant
Bytinsky. This flags (projects) never existed really and they
were never adopted.

A political proposal was made in Ukraine: flag half red and
half blue over yellow (add of yellow stripe in lower part in the
old soviet flag) but was rejected. Seems that the russians that
proclaimed a Russian republic in Ukraine used this flag. Some
republics has flags based in the old soviet ones (Belarus,
Transniester, Tadjikistan unoficial
-without h&s, old Mordovia...).
I believe that yellow can be for avar, blue for Kumukh, and red
for the russians (communist?)

Red is the (traditional?) color to symbolize russians
regardless of communism. At our page about the Cossacks , Stuart Notholt says
abot the Don Cossack flag: " the colours blue, yellow and
red stood for the Don, the Kalmyks and the Russians respectively.
(however, at the same page he describes the blue in the Kuban
Cossack's flag as standing for russians... hm...).

I seem to recall that the current Russian flag (which was of
course designed before communism was even an idea) has similar
means, the white for the White Russians, the blue for the
Ukrainians and the red for the Russians of what is now Russia.

Project of state flag with dark-red stripe for cossacks,
disputed in Supreme Council in 1992, not adopted.

To be compared with the upper proposal. Could it be two
different reports of the same proposal?
