I guess that’s the point right? “We are not kazakhs, russians or georgians, we are soviets.”

[ChessedGamon]

There's gotta be a joke about Soviet flags being the same somewhere in there

"Wow how unoriginal, I can't believe how similar they are to each other."

And I believe the Belarusian SSR flag is the only one whose variation is still in use to this day (but if Transnistria counts, the Moldavian SSR flag is still in use too)

Fun Fact: The State Emblem of the Latvian SSR has a sun, and it was said to be rising over the sea, but the geography of Latvia in relation to the Baltic sea means the sun can only be see setting and not rising over the Baltic sea.

Capitalists cannot tell which flag is which if WE cannot tell which flag is which

The flag of the Georgian SSR technically doesn't even use yellow, when all other SSR flags do. Very strange.

I mean I think they follow the guideline of “be related or be distinct” pretty well even if they could have added a bit more

Meanwhile in Canada, our largest province (Ontario) has basically the same flag as another province (Manitoba), which is basically Canada's pre-1965 flag, which is the same red ensign used by almost everyone colonized by Britain. -.-

If you can confuse red-blue flag with red-blue-red then I have bad news for you

[tomuxo]

yeah british colonies work the same way

[Russian_Federations]

Wait till he sees the British colonial flags😂

[Nuggeinsky]

Fun fact once the Ukrainian and by
Byelorussian SSR's joined the UN (Yes two soviet republics got their own seats) The UN demanded they have distinguishing flags which led to all soviet republics getting their own flags

Belarus flag was that good that belarus use it without the hammer and sickle

[tysonplett]

Someone better petition the ussr to change this

Kazakhstan red gap on the bottom: Pretend i didn't hear that

[LordFloofTM]

I just happen to like them and have a small collection of them. Those stripes, while a little uncreative design wise, do indeed carry creative meaning that derives its inspiration from whatever Republic it represents, some examples include Turkmenistan and Latvia with water features. I also would not complain if they happened to improve them before 1991 but the flags from prior to those designs tended to be even worse

Georgia: Let's add a little bit of the Japanese Empire flag into the Soviet flag...
