Inaccurate flag report of “Free State of Chukotka”[3]
|
1990s
|
This flag was created in the 1990s as a hoax regarding the flag of the Free State of Chukotka. The design originated from a 1970s movie by cinematographers about the Russian Civil War in Siberia. They made a white, red, and blue flag. A vexillologist saw the movie and decided that white, red, and blue should be the flag of Chukotka.[2] However, this flag can be confused with the flag of the protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
