Flag history of the soviet republics of the USSR
The today's flag of Ingushetia was introduced in 1994. It shows three strips in green, white and green in the ratio of 1:4:1 and in the middle a red triskelion. The triskelion embodies the sun and the universe, but it also stands for the awareness of the oneness of the spirit in the past, present and future. The colour red symbolizes the struggle for existence and the defending of the homeland, white symbolizes the god-given purity of the spirit and the morality of the people, green stands for Islam. To 1999 the flag was used in the side-ratio of 1:2. After that they went to the now in Russia usual ratio of 2:3. The shape of the triskelion changed slightly, and is until today reproduced quite differently. Chechnya was united with Ingushetia for many years. As the common Chechen Ingushetic Autonomous Soviet Republic, the country had some flags, following the always same Soviet knitting pattern. Only from 1942 to 1944 was an other flag in use, when the country broke with the Soviet Union in World War II and defected to the side of the German Empire. The flags, which were used in the Soviet era corresponded all to the same pattern as it was intended for the Soviet Autonomous Republics: Between 1923 and 1937 frequently only a single-coloured red bunting with a golden inscription, showing the name of the country. Sometimes only as a shortcut, sometimes the full name, sometimes only in Russian or even multilingual. From about 1937 hammer, sickle and star were sometimes added. From about the mid-50s multicolored flags were introduced for the republics of the Soviet Union, whose knitting patterns had to be taken over by the subordinated autonomous Soviet republics.
