In the on 24th of September of 1992 adopted blue-white-red flag of Crimea are to see the clours of Russia, to which the Crimean Peninsula belonged to the year 1954 and belongs again since 2014. 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. The status of Crimea as Autonomous Republic was revoked in 1945 as a result of extensive collaboration of the non-Russian population with the German Empire during the Second World War. The until that valid flag has been abolished. The flag of the Crimean Tatars shows a pale blue bunting. In the upper staff quadrant a sign, which comes from the symbolism of the Golden Horde, a huge Tatar empire, from which the Crimean Tatars descent. Blue is the national colour of the Turks and Mongols respectively as well of the Tatars. The in the Second World War on the side of the German War Might fighting Crimean Tatarian troops uses a similar flag, but the symbol in the upper staff quadrant was red. The denomination "Tatars" held initially just a small Mongolian tribe. During the Mongol Assault in the 12th and 13th century this name was transmitted to all the Mongols. In the 14th century it was maintained for those nations, which arised from the mixture of Mongols, Turks, Volga Fins and Slavs and admit themselves to the Islam.

The designation "Crimea" descends from the times of the Mongol rule. The Mongolian word "Krym" means "fortification". In the antiquity the peninsula was named "Taurian Peninsula" or "Skythian Peninsula", after the colonization by the Greek "Chersónesos", what simply means "peninsula".
