Flag history of the soviet republics of the USSR
The flag of Yakutia shows four horizontal stripes. The first upper stripe is light blue, very wide and represents the sky with the sun of the north in the middle. This is followed by two equally wide stripes in white and red. The white stands for the snow and the red for the courage and perseverance of the Yakut people. The bottom stripe is green and as wide as the two above it together. The color green symbolizes the forests of the Taiga. 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.

The old name of the country, Yakutia, goes of course back to the ethnic group of the Yakuts, which is living here. This name was given to the people of Sakhalar by the Russians. In 1992 the country received a Yakut name, Sacha, to translate as "human".
