Form 10 Oct 1956: Russian and Finnish (based on RSFSR flag):
On 16 july 1956 Karelia 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).
Mark Sensen, 18 Mar 1996
On 16 July 1956 the KFSSR was downgraded to the
Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. As a result the flag changed.
The new flag of the Karelian ASSR was based on the flag of the
Russian SSR, that is, it had a blue stripe along the
hoist, the rest of the field being red and with the outlined star, hammer and
sickle and the abbreviation of the autonomous republic’s name in Russian
(cyrillic characters) and Finnish (Latin characters)
underneath all in golden yellow.
Jan Oskar Engene, 29 May 1997
On 20 August 1956 adopt new flag. After 1956 is also legal to use
the flag with only the capital letters.
Jaume Ollé, 17 Nov 1996
The new flag had a blue stripe along the hoist, the
rest of the field being red with the red star outlined
in yellow over the hammer and sickle and under that
"KASSR" written in Russian and
Finnish/Karelian.

Inscriptions on the Coat-of-Arms of Soviet Karelia according to the constitution of 20.8.1956 — Russian and partly Finnish (Based on emblem of RSFSR):
The typeface used in the inscription was changed in 1963.
Marco Pribilla, 07 Dec 2002
Constitution adopted on 1978.05.30 (since 1981 reverse without emblems and inscriptions)
The flag of the Karelian ASSR changed in 1978, but only slightly, so
that "KASSR" was replaced by "Karelian ASSR"again written
in both Finnish/Karelian and Russian.
Jan Oskar Engene, 02 Jun 1997
Inscriptions on the Coat-of-Arms of Soviet Karelia according to the constitution of 30.5.1978 — Russian and partly Finnish (red star and Finnish name of the republic added):
Paskov [pas94] shows a second proposal
[see first], this time a project by Finnish
heraldist Kari K. Laurla dated 1976. Laurla’s
design for a KASSR flag kept the blue stripe along the hoist, the red upper
field and the gold star, hammer and sickle. To this was to bands of white and
green along the bottom. The dividing line between the red and white was in the
shape of a fir-twig section, while that between the white and green was wavy.
Note that the image is my interpretation of the design (may differ somewhat in
details from Laurla’s original proposal).
Jan Oskar Engene, 29 May 1997
The artwork in [pas94] shows a solid gold
star in both proposals. But checking Laurla’s
own Itä-Karjalan tunnuksia [lau97],
I found images with red stars fimbriated in gold — as the author of this
book was the one who submitted the 1976 proposal, I rather trust this
source!
Jan Oskar Engene, 26 Jun 2001
Laurla’s proposal was never adopted (probably much too
Finnish looking). I don’t know the deatils, though these
are probably in the Finnish and Russian text in Paskov’s
book [pas94].
Jan Oskar Engene, 02 Jun 1997
What were the adoption possibilities of this 1976 proposal? By that time,
it was quite clear that ASSR flags were always
copies of the respective SSR’s flag with added lettering. Did Laurla
seriously wanted to change this or was it just a vexillographic
musing?…
