After the formation of the Bashkir ASSR on 23 March 1919 until the introduction of an official flag on 11 October 1924, a temporary flag was used. The flag was a red cloth with the inscription "А.Б.С.С.Р.", abbreviation of the Autonomous Bashkir SSR, in Bashkir and Russian.[1]

Second version

In October 1924, on the basis of the decree of the Bashkir Central Election Commission, a Decree of the Bashkir Central Committee dated October 11, 1924, was approved. The decree, "On the change of the State flag of the BASSR", approved the first official state flag of the Autonomous Bashkir SSR. The flag was a rectangular red flag with a golden sickle and red five-pointed star with a gold border.[2]

The flag of the Baskhir ASSR was described in the constitution of the Bashkir ASSR, which was adopted by the Central Executive Committee of the Baskhir ASSR on 23 June 1937, at the 10th Congress of the Soviets of the Bashkir ASSR on June 23, 1937.[3] The flag of the Bashkir ASSR is described in Article 112 of the constitution :

In accordance to the change of the flag of the Russian SFSR, the government of the Bashkir ASSR approved a new flag on March 31, 1954.[6] The flag was described in the amended constitution of the Bashkir ASSR.[7] The flag of the Bashkir ASSR is described in Article 112 of the constitution :

The state flag of the Bashkir Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic is the State flag of the RSFSR, consisting of a red cloth with a light blue stripe at the flagpole over the entire width of the flag. The light blue bar is one eighth of the flag's length. In the upper left corner of the red cloth there are golden sickle and hammer and a red five-pointed star framed with a gold border above them, and below the sickle and hammer there is an inscription in golden letters “Bashkir ASSR” in Russian and Bashkir language. The ratio of the width of the flag to the length is 1:2.

The design was reconfirmed by the Decree of the State Flag of the Bashkir ASSR, which was approved by the PVS of the Bashkir ASSR on January 16, 1956.
