The Ruthenian flag of the Ruthenians of the World
(Transcarpathia, Slovakia, Hungary and the USA). I got this
information from Mrs Jozsefne Csepanyi-Bardos, the president of
the Ruhenian Ethnic Minority Council in Budapest Capital.
The Ruthenians are the settlers of Transcarpathia, and they are
the majority there.

The UNPO has devoted a page with a flag at <www.unpo.org>
and info at <www.unpo.org/member/rusyn/rusyn.html>.
So far I've only seen the flag at the UNPO-site.

The Coat of Arms by no sheer coincidence is very close
to Transcarpathia Oblast. However, the Rusyn flag was reported as
2:1:1 horizontal bleu-white-maroon.
My guess that someone decided that the Rutherians need flag
(without knowledge of the existing one), and what is more
probable than placing the traditional Transcarpathian CoA on the
UA colors ?

The flag as shown on the UNPO page does display the arms which
also was part of the arms of Czechoslovakia in the time between
the world wars.

The ruthenian (Podkarpatska Rus) Coat of Arms was established
only in 1920 by Czechoslovakian Law. Before 1920 many projects
existed.
In spring of 1920 prof. Gustav Friedrich designed Coat of Arms
looked like modern one, but the dexter part was blue with gold
patriarchal half-cross. In march government of Podkarpatska Rus
sent to Prague two other projects. But 30, March, 1920 in Prague
National Council adopted the new Coat of Arms.
