Taymyr was set up in 1930.
António Martins, 11 Mar 2000

A sparsely population region, the Taimyr Autonomous region has a population comprising five ethnic groups, Russians (Slavs), Nentsky, Yakuts, Evenkiand Dolgany.
Stuart Notholt, 25 Nov 1995

Dolgans and Nenets are different peoples (Dolgans from the Turkic language group, Altaic language family; Nenets from the Samoyed language group, Uralic language family). The territory was named after both and also after the local toponym Taymyr Peninsula. The official name is Таймырский (Долгано-Ненецкий) автономный округ (Taĭmyrskiĭ (Dolgano-Neneckiĭ) avtonomnyĭ okrug), making the short name Taymyr vary handy.
António Martins, 11 Mar 2000

The islands Severnaya Zemlya (Northern Land) are part of Taymyr (itself part ofKrasnoyarsk Region). According to my newer Russian atlases, these islands are (very sparsely) inhabited exclusively by Russians. Any local flags would be town flags (that may exist, but I doubt that it is a priority for local leaders).
António Martins, 07 Aug 1999

Description of the flag

I received yesterday from the Administration of Taimyr (Dolgan-Nenets) autonomous district of the Russian Federation the flag of this autonomous district. This flag was authorized by the Decision Nº 4-053-P on May 23rd, 2000. The coat of arms of this autonomous district was authorized on March 25th, 1998.
Mikhail Revnivtsev, 2002 Mar 06

From Mikhail Revnivtsev’s paper in recent issue of Vexilologie 120 [vex]: Taymyr Autonomous District - light blue flag, the white circle has diameter identical to 1/2 of the flag width, flag ratio 2:3. Adopted 23-05-2000.

It shows on the light blue background a white disk (the sun?) behind the goose, and four rays on the cardinal positions.

Incomplete report

The source for this image was unsure.
Pascal Gross, 06 Mar 2002

In the new volume of _Vexilologie_[vex], there is an article by Mikhail Revnivtsev [rev01] about some Russian regional flags is published. New data on Taymyr (Dolgan-Nenets) Autonomous District - no flag! (There is only the arms, blue shield with the Siberian goose and "Arctic sun" emblem, but the reported armorial banner is not official district flag.)
