Kemerovo Region is the homeland of the Shor people (Ŝorcy, in Russian), one of the largest Russian peoples without it’s own republic or autonomous district.
António Martins, 18 Feb 1999

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed on 27 March 2019 a Decree to include in the Constitution of the Russian Federation the changed name of our region - Kemerovo Region - Kuzbass. Document No. 130 has already been published on the official legal information portal.

Recall that Sergey Tsivilev put forward the initiative last autumn to assign a second name to the region, and a survey conducted among its residents showed that the idea of ​​the governor was approved by an overwhelming majority. In December, deputies of the regional council legislated the name at the local level, and it remained only to amend the Constitution. And this happened:
“Include the new name of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation - Kemerovo Region - Kuzbass in part 1 of Article 65 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation instead of the name Kemerovo Region," the document says, signed by the president.

Thus, now three official variants of the name of the region can be used equally: “Kemerovo Region”, “Kemerovo Region - Kuzbass” and “Kuzbass”, including in all official documents.
[...]

Note that the word "Kuzbass" is an abbreviation for the Kuznetsk coal basin. Its borders were determined by the famous geologist Pyotr Chikhachev as a result of the expedition of 1842, and three years later he introduced this term into scientific circulation. To designate the economic and geographical area, the abbreviation Kuzbass began to be used since 1921, including in documents, and later it became fully associated with the Kemerovo region, formed in 1943, although the borders of the region and the coal basin do not coincide.

Kuzbas flag proposal?

Unknown Kemerovo flag image by António Martins, 18 Feb 1999

A page at Kuzbassnet.RU (I don’t know how official this website is) the white-black-green flag is pictured together with a coat of arms totally different from the official one.
Pascal Gross, 07 Oct 2002

It is arms of the oblast, adopted in 1994.
Victor Lomantsov, 23 Dec 2002

This flag design uses the same colors as the official “emblem” of Kemerovo city (which is very different from its flag), available at the municipal website.
António Martins, 04 Oct 2006

In the accompanying text, there is no info about approving these symbols of the Kemerovo Region. I guess that the white-black-green tricolore is somebody’s personal invention — a combination of the “traditional” (= civil war) flag of Siberia (white over green) with a black stripe (standing for coal industry)…
Jan Zrzavy, 07 Oct 2002 and 09 Oct 2002

This flag is clearly a variant of the Siberian colors, consisting of unequal stripes of white (5) black (2) and green (5), with a ratio of 3:5. About the meaning of the superimposed black stripe I can only speculate that it relates to coal, being the north of this region very industrialized and harbouring a large coal mining basin — kuzbas.
António Martins, 18 Feb 1999

I notice that this flag design uses the same colors as the official "emblem" of Kemerovo city (which is very different from its flag), available at the municipal website.
