António Martins-Tuválkin, 1 July 2006
A county-status city with about 217,000 inhabitants in 2004,
founded in 1593 and important for its iron mines.
More details.
According to this page, reported
by Valentin Poposki on 30 Sep 2005, this flag is still a project pending
approval. It is based on the coat of arms: a 2:3 red over green flag divided in
ascending diagonal with a rifle on the red area and golden thing on the
green area. (An exact banner of arms except for the missing canton, filled in the
coat of arms
with the regional arms, as usual in Russian subnational banners of arms.)

The yellow device in the lower fly is a light wooden ard or plough (local name
"sokha"). Here is a frontal view of
it in use.
