Image of an actual flag
reported by Dov Gutterman, 03 Oct 2002

Description of the flag

Adopted 21 November 1949. Light blue bar in base, covering 1/3 of the height. See here detailed construction information of the hammer and sickle.
Mark Sensen, 25 May 1997

According to Constitution of Ukrainian SSR: the distance from the hoist of the flag to the centre of star (and of the hammer-and-sickle, of course) is equal to 1/3 of flag’s length.

Reverse of the flag

image by António Martins, 19 Oct 2000 |

No hammer, sickle and star on the reverse side.
Mark Sensen, 25 May 1997

Officially reverse looked like obverse without star and hammer-sickle. But in fact I never saw these flags without star, hammer-sickle. Real flags (all 15) usually were either with reverse analogous to obverse (but with star and hammer-and-sickle near the hoist) or with reverse = mirrored obverse.

Dark blue errouneous variant

image by António Martins and Victor Lomantsov, 12 Sep 2003 |

In this “soviet” site it is shown an erroneous representation of the flag of the Ukrainian SSR, with dark blue instead of light blue.

Coat of arms

image by Marcus Schmöger, 15 Sep 2001 (source: [hzg80])

The emblem of the SSR was introduced 14 March 1919 (according to Hesmer [hes92]) and was replaced by the current one in 19 February 1992.
