The flag and coat of arms (which in the center of the flag) is adopted in
19th of October 2000, by the order #1046 of Kostroma oblast legislative body.
By the law of Kostroma oblast from 19th of October, the flag was given the
lawful status. There were special commission assigned to design the flag.
They all have common responsibilities for their decision.

Flag has blue vertical stripe 1/8 of the flag long. In the red part is
drawn (centered in this red part) the arms, occupying 1/3 of the height. I
don't know how accurate the image is.

The flag design is an evident reminiscence
from the R.S.F.S.R. flag.

The coat-or-arms shows a galera (a ship with rowers and sail) with a
white sail and hoisting the imperial flag.
According to the Russian TV channel Kulhtura, this coat of arms was
granted by Catherine the Great, later taken away by her son, and readopted on
1992.

Only one Emperor’s Standard (yellow with
black eagle with maps in his claws) existed in times of Catherine the
Great. She used it. Kostroma (city on Volga River) have the arms: «Azure,
a ship of Catherine the Great with Emperor’s Standard on
main-mast».
Victor Lomantsov, 02 June 2000
A Kostroma coat of arms was shown (on Russian
TV channel Kulhtura), quartered with a six
pointed star on 1 and 4 and a crescent on 2 and 3,
but each quarter had different metals and tints (I
can’t say which because the picture was black and
white). This was, if I understood correctly, the
provincial coat of arms of Kostroma, prior to 1917.
