Flag of Khakassia (GIF)



The flag of Khakassia (Russian: Флаг Хакасии; Khakas: Хакас Республиказың Флаг) is a visually striking representation of the region's cultural identity and connection to the Russian Federation. It features a green vertical band on the left with a traditional yellow sun emblem, symbolizing the universe and highlighting Khakassia's unique heritage. Three horizontal bands of blue, white, and red correspond to the colors of the State Flag of the Russian Federation, emphasizing the republic's status as a subject within the larger federation. The green band, representing the eternity of life, revival, and unity of Khakassian peoples, is also a nod to the traditional color of Siberia. The yellow sun emblem pays homage to generations of Khakassian inhabitants, as it was historically used on stone sculptures found exclusively within the region. Together, these elements on the flag create a harmonious representation of Khakassia's cultural richness, historical significance, and its integral place within the diverse mosaic of the Russian Federation.
