The flag of Ingushetia (Template:Lang-inh), in the Russian Federation, was adopted in 1994. It shows a red triskelion symbol on a white background, with narrow green horizontal stripes above and below.

The flag was officially commended by TFE in 2010.

Background

Prior to 1994, Ingush had never had their own national symbols which could reflect their history or ethnicity. The Ingush weren't ruled by beks, khans, or princes, and therefore, couldn't have any common national symbols. Even the coat of arms of Terek oblast didn't reflect in any way the history or ethnicity of the Ingush people as the oblasts and governorates of Russian Empire were not formed on ethnic grounds. In 1944 the Chechen and Ingush peoples were deported to Kazakh SSR and Kirghiz SSR and their autonomy was abolished. On 9 January 1957 the autonomy of Chechens and Ingush was restored together with common national symbols of both Chechens and Ingush. On 1 November 1991 Dzhokhar Dudayev declared independence of Chechen Republic of Ichkeria from Checheno-Ingush SSR (renamed in 24 May 1991); following the referendum of 30 November – 1 December 1991 that favored the creation of Ingush Republic within the RSFSR, the Supreme Soviet of Russia adopted the Law "On the formation of the Ingush Republic as part of the Russian Federation" on 4 June 1992, after which Ingushetia officially became an independent state entity—a subject of Russia with its own new state symbols and anthem.

Symbolism

In the religion and philosophy of the Ingush people, the Solar emblem (in the center of the flag) represents not only the sun and the universe but also awareness of the oneness of the spirit in the past, present and future. The red recalls the struggle of the Ingush people for existence and in the defense of their homeland. The white symbolizes the divine purity of the thoughts and views of the nation. The green is the symbol of Islam.
