Misattributed flags

[edit]
Flag Misattributed Usage Date Created Description
Flag of the so called "Free state of Chukotka"[2] October 1921 This misattributed flag is a horizontal tricolor, from top to bottom white, pure yellow (#f3e600), and moderate blue (#438dcc). The flag was designed in October 1921. A mobile history game used this flag to represent the native Chukchi people.
Inaccurate flag report of “Free State of Chukotka”[3] 1990s This flag was made in the 1990s as a false report of the flag of the Free State of Chukotka. The design comes from a 1970s move by cinematographers about the Russian Civil War in Siberia. They made white, red, blue flag. A vexillologist saw the movie and decided that white, red, and blue is a flag of Chukotka.[2]
