Flag history of the soviet republics of the USSR
The flag was adopted on 27th of November in 1991, in the format-ratio of 1:2, on 17th of December in 1997 the format was changed to 2:3. The old format-ratio of 1:2 goes back to the flags of the Soviet Union. The Bolshevist flags were almost designed in 1:2 format, as a visible break with the monarchist and bourgeois format-ratio of 2:3. The flag represents the nature of Komi. Blue represents the splendor and vastness of the northern sky. Green stands for the nature, its fullness and the Taiga Woods. White stands for the snow, the purity of the nature of the north, and for simplicity and rigour. According to a different interpretation, white stands for the equality and unity of the people and cultures who living in Komi. 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 name of the country has its roots in the Finno-Ugric people of the Komi who live here. The members of this people were also called Zyryans. Since the 1950s, they have always been a minority in their own country.
