Karakalpak ASSR
The former Karakalpak ASSR , from 1936 part of the Uzbek SSR , previously part of the Russian SFSR since 1932 , had its own flag from 1934, which developed similarly to that of the Uzbek SSR . The basic design of the flag was always a red cloth with an inscription.
The first flag read RSFSR and Karakalpak ASSR in Karakalpak Latin script and in Russian . In 1937 the inscription was changed, from now on the Uzbek SSR and Karakalpak ASSR could be read in Karakalpak and Cyrillic- Uzbek . After the Karakalpak language was written with Cyrillic characters from 1940, the Karakalpak inscription changed in 1941. From 1952 the flag had a blue vertical stripe in the middle. Above the strip was Karakalpak ASSR written in Uzbek and Karakalpak; above it were the symbols of hammer and sickle and red star .
