The history of the Krasnodar Territory counts hundreds of millennia and, like any region of the Russian Federation, the Kuban has its official symbols - emblems and flags.

Territory of the Kuban

Krasnodar Territory - a large territory in the south of Russia with an area of more than 76 thousand square meters. Km and a population of more than 5 million people. He lives in the Kuban many nationalities, descendants of the Kuban and Zaporozhye Cossacks, as well as Muslim mountaineers. All of them are united under a tricolor with blue, green and raspberry flowers. From this article you can find out how the emblem and flag of the Krasnodar Territory appeared.

History of the creation of the flag of the Kuban

During the Russian Empire, the Krasnodar Territory was the Kuban region. But after the revolution in 1917, the region wanted to withdraw from the state. In 1919, it was called the Kuban People's Republic, and an official flag with stripes of three colors horizontally was approved. The top is blue, the center is crimson and the bottom is green. It was created on the basis of the already existing flag of the city of Ekaterinodar, which became the center of the Kuban People's Republic. It resembled the modern flag of the Krasnodar Territory.

In this form, the state symbol did not exist for long, a year later, after the creation of the Soviet Union, the symbols were abolished. However, the flag remained a symbol of the Kuban Cossacks. After the collapse of the USSR, in May 1995, the flag of the Krasnodar Territory was officially approved. Photos of the old version can be found in the museums of Krasnodar. In the same place, the guides will tell the historical facts that influenced the appearance of the state symbols.

Appearance of the flag

The flag of the Krasnodar Territory has a rectangular shape, it is a combination of colored strips of different sizes - crimson, green and blue. In the center of the canvas there is the coat of arms of the Kuban, made in yellow (gold) color with an orange frame. It shows a shield with a fortress wall. Above, above the shield, is the imperial crown, and above it is the banner with the two-headed imperial eagle and the capital letters of the Russian Federation. Around the shield there are gilded branches of oak, and behind it - 4 standards.

In 2004, on June 28, the design of the emblem was changed. The ribbon of the Order of Lenin and the imperial crown were added to the coat of arms and the golden branches and the Alexander ribbon were removed. Due to the fact that the Krasnodar Territory - an autonomous region with official symbols in the federal state, the use of royal symbols - branches and Alexander tape - is prohibited. It is in this form we know the modern coat of arms, located on the canvas of the flag of the Kuban.

The meaning of the colors of the flag

The color of the flag of the Krasnodar Territory was chosen not accidentally. There are even stories about this. Here are two main:

  1. Crimson color, occupying the largest area on the flag of the Kuban, denotes the Black Sea: the Cossacks, the descendants of Zaporozhye Cossacks. Green color - the descendants of the Don Cossacks. Blue color - mountaineers and Adyghe Muslims.
  2. According to another version, crimson color means a local population consisting of Don and Zaporozhye Cossacks. Blue is a non-native population from other cities. Green is the population of the mountains. This version coincides with the official resolution on the creation of the Kuban People's Republic, which united the mountaineers-Muslims, the Cossacks and other people.

These two versions are similar to each other in that they suggest that colors match the nationalities living in the Krasnodar Territory and united under the tricolor. The coats of arms and flags have always had special significance for any region and state. That's why they were responsible for their creation.

The coat of arms of the Krasnodar Territory

Unlike the colors of the flag, the coat of arms on it has an official decoding. In fact, it symbolizes one of the flanks of the Caucasian line of defense - a system of defensive military special structures organized by the kings of the Russian Empire for the defense of the southern coast of the Russian Empire and the struggle against Persia and Turkey. Bunchuk and Pernach (symbols of Cossack ranks) symbolize the active participation of the Kuban Cossacks in the struggle for the Caucasus with the Persians and Turks.

Using the flag of the Krasnodar Territory, unlike the coat of arms, is allowed, so it can be found in many state institutions of the Kuban, in the offices of officials and conference halls. The flag of the Krasnodar Territory unites the population of all religions and nationalities. Crimson color takes up most of the place on the flag and for all versions denotes the Kuban Cossacks, descendants of Don and Zaporozhye Cossacks, defending the territory of the modern Krasnodar Territory. Cossacks developed a culture, writing and life in these territories. Cossacks, like in previous times, protect the honor of the Kuban and its flag and plays an important role in her life.
