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.

History

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 1917–1918, during the Russian Civil War, Ingushetia briefly belonged to the Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus as part of a separate state-territorial unit and thus, adopted the Republic's flag.

Under Soviet rule, the national flag of Checheno-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (founded on 15 January 1934) like other autonomous republics of Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, differed from the all-Russian flag only in inscriptions in the native languages of the titular nations. Therefore, it bore an inscription in the Ingush language. 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.

The author of the flag was Ibragim Dakhkilgov [ru]. It took a lot of preparatory work of the state authorities, public organizations, artists and scientists to decide on the adoption of Ingushetia's flag. On 15 May 1993, the flag was approved by the Extraordinary Congress of the Peoples of Ingushetia, held in Nazran, and it was decided to continue work on the coat of arms and anthem of Ingushetia. Serdalo newspaper reported that samples of the coat of arms and flag, as well as some texts of the anthem, presented in the congress by the then Minister of Education of Ingushetia, Tamerlan Mutaliev, caused heated debate and there were votes for and against the adoption of the coat of arms and flag.

On 2 August 1993, by decree of the then President of Ingushetia, Ruslan Aushev, a commission on state symbols of Ingushetia was formed. On 13 May 1994, the People's Assembly of the Republic of Ingushetia adopted Law No. 1-RKZ "On the state flag of the Republic of Ingushetia" according to a drawing presented by Ibragim Dakhkilgov. On 11 July 1999, the Assembly adopted the Constitution Law of Ingushetia [ru] No. 6-RKZ "On the State Flag of the Republic of Ingushetia", invalidating the Law of 13 May 1994. Thus, the ratio of the width of the flag changed its length of 1:2 to the ratio of 2:3 while the radius of the inner circle of the solar sign and the incomplete circle at the end of its rays have changed. The width of the rays has also changed.

Design

The flag includes three horizontal stripes: a white stripe in the middle and two green stripes at the top and bottom; in the center a solar sign is located in the shape of a red circle with three rays extending from it, each of which ends in an incomplete circle. The basic description of the flag, along with its ratio, is indicated in the Constitution of Ingushetia:

The state flag of the Republic of Ingushetia is the official state symbol of the Republic of Ingushetia and is a white rectangular panel, in the center of which there is a solar sign in the shape of a red circle with three rays extending from it, each of which ends in an incomplete circle. The ratio of the width of the flag to its length is 2:3. Along the entire length of the top and bottom of the flag there are two green stripes, each of which is one-sixth the width of the flag.

Symbolism

The white symbolizes purity of thoughts and actions. The green—the awakening of nature, abundance, fertility of the land of Ingushetia, as well as Islam, which the Ingush profess. The red—the difficult struggle of the Ingush people against injustice, for the right to live on the land of their ancestors in peace and harmony with neighboring peoples through out centuries.

The solar sign symbolizes the eternal movement of the Sun and Earth, as well as the interconnection and infinity of all things. The arcuate rays of the sign are turned counterclockwise, in the same direction that the Earth and other planets of Solar System rotate around the Sun, as well as the Sun around its own axis. The direction of rotation in the solar system symbolizes well-being and thus, the solar sign symbolizes the endless development leading to the prosperity of the people.
