The fairily small town of Marinskii~ Posad, a
municipality seat (rai~onyi~ centr) some 50
km east of Cheboksary.
This flag is a 2:3 banner of the arms and both (flag
and arms) were recently approved by the State Herald
of the President of the Russian Federation, according
to an article in Sovetskaa^ C^uvas^ia^
(1999.07.08). The arms are: on a “french” shield,
azure, an imperial crown proper over a mountain (or
whatever that is supposed to be...) argent; (very
small) canton filled with chuvashian flag. The
interesting note is that this canton, absent from the
flag, by the way, is hatched with the
petra sancta markings
for purpure.
