The Buriat-Mongol republic was created en 1923, and adopted a flag
near 1925. The first flag was red with the first letters of her name
in the upper hoist (BMASSR).

According to
Vexillographia, there is possibly a flag. There is no firm information on any
pre-1937 flag. This might have relation to draft constitution of 1927. I
couldn’t locate its text.

11 Aug 1937 – 1939
Latin script was changed to Russian in 1939. It seems
that letter “A” was missing, I added it. I also suppose that between B and M
there should be a line, instead of a dot. That would be in line with later
flags.

1939 – 4 Jun 1954
I located this version on the
web, it is in line with the 1937 constitution. It appears that name of RSFSR in
Buryat at that time was RSFSR, even
though modern Buryat abbreviation is ZSBNHOU (Russia in the Buryat language is Oros,
but also Rossi). Consistency requires that if Buryatia is ASSR in Buryat, then
Russia at the same time cannot be ZSBN (this means SSR; “H” stands for
“federative”)."

In 1958 the republic was renamed only Buriatia and 7 July 1958
adopted a new flag with the name only in russian language which
probably was a mistake. It was used ten days only!

The omitted name in Buriatian language was added only ten days
after, and 17 July 1958 adopted a new flag.

On 25 December 1978 "ASSR" was placed below each name:
BURÂTSKAÂ (in Russian)
ASSR
BURÂDAI (in Buryat)
ASSR
