About the flag

City of Koryazhma is one of city districts in Arkhangel'skaya Region. Its coat of arms was adopted on 27.06.2002, and its flag on 30.06.2009.

A rectangular cloth with a width-to-length ratio of 2:3, consisting of three centrally symmetrical parts: a red part at the flagpole, a green part at the free edge, and a blue stripe dividing them, edged with white lines at the edges, with a downward slope running from the upper side of the cloth to the lower one. The ratio of the width of the parts (including the edging) at their contact with the upper edge is 3:5:19. Shifted towards the middle, the cloth bears stylized images of a spruce tree, a roll of paper, and a church, partially overlapping the borders of the strip and executed in green, white, black, and yellow colors.

In short, it can be said that the flag is a banner of the arms, slightly adapted to the horizontally oblong quadrangular frame of the flag. This design was changed somewhen in the last 20 years, comparing what Vanja, Jorge, Dean and I commented back then
