Description of the flag

The flag of the Krasnodar territory is horizontally blue over purple over green, the central stripe being double of each of the two others, the arms of the territory over all in the middle. The coat of arms is a bit complicated and is quite the same than the historical coat of arms of the formerterritory of Kuban. The flag was adopted on the first of June 1995. Proportions 2:3.

The middle stripe should be red-raspberry. It is difficult to know exactly to what corresponds this colour. Jiri Tenora says that this colour is either dark red (R+) or purple (P). He says that this is_malinorot_ (from Russian malina, raspberry + German Rot, red), the typical colour of theEast German Civil Defence.

I’ve just saw the Mayor of Soĉi on TV; behind him, the Russian national flag and the regional flag of Krasnodar: I can confirm the light reddish purple malinorot, the medium dark green of the bottom stripe, and this greyish/lightish sort of blue.
António Martins, 26 Jul 1999

The coat of arms on the flag is all golden with black fimbriations according to the Law of the Territory of Krasnodar on the symbols of the Territory of Krasnodar (4th April 1995). According to Jiri Tenora, the colour form of the coat of arms is only to be found in the Legislative Assembly and official publications. Everywhere else (shops, means of transport, _et c_…), it is golden. The height of the coat of arms on the flag is ca. 3:4 the height of the flag.Source: [cdd97]

One of the elements of the coat of arms is a пернач | pernaĉ, a kind of cossack sceptre.

I found in the web an image of the flag of Krasnodar, but without the arms in the center.

This flag, with medium blue bottom stripe, is listed under number 95 at the chart Flags of Aspirant Peoples [eba94] as: "Kuban Cossacks - South-East Russia".
