The National Bolshevik Party of Belarus is modelled after the same-named
Russian party. It is not officially registered, but seems to operate without
problems. It considers Russians and Belarusians one nation and supports the
unification of two countries, although it opposes the current Russian
government.

Considering the frequency of different flags as seen at the party website,
the most widely used one is red flag with the ratio 2:3, best viewed here:

The black flag with the ratio 2:3 was not seen so far.

At the top of all party web pages <nbel.org> is
shown the image of a flag based on that of the Byelorussian SSR, but replacing
the golden hammer, sickle and red star with the large white disc, charged with
the black hammer and sickle, in the centre.

This has recently replaced an earlier image, showing the similar flag based on the current flag of Belarus. Neither of these flag designs was confirmed to be used in real life so far, so they remain just flagoids for now. Other than this, the party members regularly use the undifferenced current national flag along with the party flags (see the photos listed above).
All the images on this page are based on the Wikipedia image of National
Bolshevik flag:
http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A4%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BB:National_Bolshevik_Party.svg,
which seems to show the best approximation of the form of the hammer and sickle
used on most of copies of the described flags. It shall be noted that this is
just one of many variants of the emblem, which varies a lot in Belarus as well
as in Russia. This can be expected, because the flags are often home-made, or at
least not always manufactured according to the same pattern.

Wikipedia image of National Bolshevik flag
The header of the party web pages <http://nbel.org> currently shows an image:
http://nbel.org/logo.png of two flags: at the right-hand side, the typical
National Bolshevik red flag with black hammer and sickle on a white disc, and
at the left-hand side, a flag created from the national flag by adding a
similar white disc with black hammer and sickle, fimbriated black, to the
flag centre. Just as for the two similar flag designs described above, the real-life use of this one
was not confirmed so far and the undifferenced national flag and the National
Bolshevik flags with the plain fields, either red or black, remain the only
confirmed flags used by the Belarusian national Bolsheviks.
