Taymyr was set up in 1930.
António Martins, 11 Mar 2000
A sparsely population region, the Taimyr Autonomous region has a
population comprising five ethnic groups, Russians (Slavs), Nentsky,
Yakuts, Evenki
and Dolgany.
Stuart Notholt, 25 Nov 1995
Dolgans and Nenets are different peoples (Dolgans from the Turkic language
group, Altaic language family; Nenets from the Samoyed language group, Uralic
language family). The territory was named after both and also after the local
toponym Taymyr Peninsula. The official name is
Таймырский
(Долгано-Ненецкий)
автономный
округ (Taĭmyrskiĭ
(Dolgano-Neneckiĭ) avtonomnyĭ okrug), making the short name
Taymyr vary handy.

The islands Severnaya Zemlya (Northern
Land) are part of Taymyr (itself part of
Krasnoyarsk Region).
According to my newer Russian atlases, these
islands are (very sparsely) inhabited exclusively
by Russians. Any local flags would be town flags
(that may exist, but I doubt that it
is a priority for local leaders).
António Martins, 07 Aug 1999
I received yesterday from the Administration of Taimyr (Dolgan-Nenets)
autonomous district of the Russian Federation the flag of this autonomous
district. This flag was authorized by the Decision Nº 4-053-P on May 23rd,
2000. The coat of arms of this autonomous district was authorized on March
25th, 1998.
Mikhail Revnivtsev, 2002 Mar 06
From Mikhail Revnivtsev’s paper in recent issue of
Vexilologie 120 [vex]:
Taymyr Autonomous District - light blue flag, the white circle has
diameter identical to 1/2 of the flag width, flag ratio 2:3. Adopted
23-05-2000.
Jan Zrzavy, 14 Jul 2003
It shows on the light blue background a white disk (the sun?)
behind the goose, and four rays on the cardinal positions.

In the new volume of Vexilologie
[vex], there is an article by
Mikhail Revnivtsev [rev01]
about some Russian regional flags is published. New data on
Taymyr (Dolgan-Nenets) Autonomous District - no flag!
(There is only the arms, blue shield with the Siberian goose
and "Arctic sun" emblem, but the reported armorial banner is
not official district flag.)

The flag of Norilsk takes over the elements of the coat of arms.
The flag is divided vertically dark-blue and red. Overall a polar
bear carrying a key over his head.
