No flag?

As far as I know, Perm oblast has officially only adopted coat-of-arms (28/12/95, redacted 05/06/96), the Law about flag is in work.

Unofficial flag of 1992-1993

In 1992 or 1993 some regions self upgraded to constituent republics, and used ephemeral unofficial flags. One of the main republics was Perm, flag was red with cross, book and bear like the arms, identical to the current Perm city flag.
