Tatarstan

Proportion	1:2
Adopted	29 November 1991
Design	Red and green divided by a white fimbriation.
Designed by	Tawil Xaciäxmätov

The state flag of Tatarstan, a republic of Russia, was introduced in 1991.

History

The Supreme Council of the Tatar Soviet Socialist Republic adopted the flag on 29 November 1991 in its present form. It was designed by T.G. Khaziakhmetov (Tawil Xaciəxmətov).

The Tatar Encyclopedia states: "The flag is a state symbol that expresses the sovereignty of the Republic of Tatarstan, the identity and traditions of the people of Tatarstan. The national flag of the Republic of Tatarstan consists of a rectangular panel with horizontal stripes of green, white and red. The white stripe is 1/15 of the flag's width and is located between equal-width stripes of green and red. The green stripe is at the top. The ratio of the flag's width to its length is 1:2."

According to official explanation;

• Red band symbolizes fight for happiness, bravery and courage
• White band symbolizes peace, concord and honest future
• Green band symbolizes hope, freedom and wealth.

Tatar nationalists such as the All-Tatar Public Center use a different flag, divided diagonally by red and green and containing a white star and crescent in the center.
