Flag of Ukrainian SSR
|
Flag of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic |
This flag was adopted by the
Ukrainian SSR on
November 21,
1949.
Prior to this, the flag was red with the gold
hammer and sickle beneath the gold
Cyrillic characters
УРСР (an abbreviation of Українська Радянська Соціалістична Республіка) in a sans-serif font in the top-left corner.
Between
1937 and the adoption of the above flag in the
1940s, the flag was the same, but the hammer and sickle was much smaller and above the Cyrillic characters, which were in a serif font.
In the
1930s, the flag was red with the gold
Cyrillic characters
УССР (
USSR) in a sans-serif font, and a gold border.
Prior to that, from
1919, the flag was the same, but without the gold border.
