The Ruthenian flag of the Ruthenians of the World
(Transcarpathia, Slovakia, Hungary and the USA). I got this
information from Mrs Jozsefne Csepanyi-Bardos, the president of
the Ruhenian Ethnic Minority Council in Budapest Capital.
The Ruthenians are the settlers of Transcarpathia, and they are
the majority there.

The UNPO has devoted a page with a flag at
www.unpo.org and info at
www.unpo.org/member/rusyn/rusyn.html.
So far I've only seen the flag at the UNPO-site.

The Coat of Arms by no sheer coincidence is very close
to Transcarpathia Oblast. However, the Rusyn flag was reported as
2:1:1 horizontal bleu-white-maroon.
My guess that someone decided that the Ruthenians need flag
(without knowledge of the existing one), and what is more
probable than placing the traditional Transcarpathian coat of arms on the
Ukraine colors ?

The flag as shown on the UNPO page does display the arms which
also was part of the arms of Czechoslovakia in the time between
the world wars.

Tribes of Ruthenians (Rusins / Rusyns / Rusnaks): Lemkos
(Lemoks), Boykos (Boyks), Hutsuls, Verkhovinetses,
Dolinyanins (Haynals).

The Ruthenian (Podkarpatska Rus) Coat of Arms was established
only in 1920 by Czechoslovakian Law. Before 1920 many projects
existed.
In spring of 1920 Prof. Gustav Friedrich designed Coat of Arms
looked like modern one, but the dexter part was blue with gold
patriarchal half-cross. In march government of Podkarpatska Rus
sent to Prague two other projects. But 30, March, 1920 in Prague
National Council adopted the new Coat of Arms.

This depiction of the flag is probably erroneous, since the brown color is not very likely to have been used in flags at that time. Actually, all colors look as if they have been copied from a picture where they have been changed by age. There are also sources which depict other versions of the flag. At Encyclopaedia Heraldica blue and green are darker, and central stripe is dark yellow, which looks more likely as the real flag colors.

In the chart "Flags of Aspirant Peoples" [eba94], blue looks lighter, and center stripe is orange, much
like the old flag of Orania, South Africa
which is shown in the top left-hand corner of the chart. Similar color
also appears in the depicted flags of Daghestan
and Ust-Ord Buriatia, Russia
which, however, are supposed to employ dark yellow, so orange color on
the Lemko flag is probably as erroneous as light brown, given the
frequency of its use on the flags at the time.
