The Flag of Novosibirsk Oblast (Russian: Флаг Новосибирской области, romanized: Flag Novosibirskoj oblasti) is the official symbol of Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia.
Description
The flag of the Novosibirsk Region is a rectangular panel which shows five different-sized stripes of red, white, blue, white, and green (left-to-right).
Between the red and green stripes, two black sable are depicted holding a yellow loaf of korovai with a salt shaker. Underneath, the white and blue stripes are crossed by a horizontal narrow belt which is colored black on the white and white on the blue.
The ratio of the width of the stripes to the length of the flag is 5: 3: 2: 3: 5, respectively. The ratio of the width of the flag to the length is 2: 3. The ratio of the width of the belt to the width of the flag is 1:80.
On the initial sketch drawn by the Novosibirsk artist Grigory Kuzhelev, a blue stripe was used in place of the red stripe. Blue was to symbolize the Ob River; white, purity of thoughts; and green, natural wealth. The red bar was added at the insistence of the Communist Party faction of the Regional Council.
