Like Bashkor, Chuvash people are Turkish; strangely they are not Muslim but christian orthodox. On 29 April 1992 Chuvashskaja AR (Autonomous Republic) adopted a very original golden-purple flag, representing a stylized "Tree of Life" (symbol of national revival) topped with three Suns, an ancient Chuvash device.

The coat-of-arms shows the same devices (Tree of Life and Suns) along with golden hop branches and the name of the Republic in gold on a purple cartouche.
