In march 1940 the Karelian ASSR was promoted to the Karelo-Finnish SSR (intended as a predecessor of a Finnish SSR, wich never was established because Finaland couldn't be conquered). A flag was introduced according the Soviet-model: red with a yellow hammer and sickle (but without a star) and the name in both Finnish (Karelian?) and Russian. In the early 1950s like the other SSRs a flag was adopted horizontal red-blue-green (19:5:6) with yellow hammer, sickle and yellow outlined star. On 16 july 1956 it became the Karelian ASSR again within the Russian SFSR. All ASSRs used a flag like their SSR (for Karelia the RSFSR, Soviet flag with a blue hoist [1:7]) and the name or initial in their own language(s). On 16 february 1993 a flag was adopted with equal horizontal stripes red-blue-green.
