Flag of 1921

by mark sensen 17-APR-1996

Green over red. In the centre a yellow crescent and star, in the star a red hammer en sickle. In the upper hoist yellow cyrillic initials (BNSR) in sanserif.

Central Asian Khanates of Bukhara and Khiva retained Khans ruling under Russian suzerinity until the Soviet period. They have remained independent until about 1924-5. But IIRC the Khans were deposed already in the late 10s / early 20ies. After that they became the "People's Republic of Bukhara" and the "People's Soviet Republic of Khwarizm" (Khorezmian PSR). Eventually they were merged into a Soviet Republic (what was its name ??) which in the 30ies was divided into Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kirgizstan.
BTW, there was another city Khanate in the same region (present Uzbekistan), Khoqand, which lost its independence already in 1876, during Czarist times.
