About the flag
Nickname
Dmitry Ivanov, author of this flag, told me a funny story about
the adoption of Kurgan Oblast flag. During the discussion of flag
project in Oblast Duma (parliament), the vice-speaker Viktor Tataurov
strongly objected against it: «These are not the kurgans
(barrows) on the flag! This is a woman, swimming on her back!»
Regional newspapers repeated these words. So, the flag of Kurgan
Oblast received the original unofficial nickname:
«woman, swimming on her back».
Ilya Morozov, 04 Nov 2000
The Kurgan coat of arms contains a further charge [apart
from the mounds], but it doesn’t appear on the flag.
