Taymyria was set up in 1930.

A sparsely population region, the Taimyr Autonomous region has a
population comprising five ethnic groups, Russians (Slavs), Nentsky,
Yakuts, Evenki
and Dolgany.
Stuart Notholt, 25 Nov 1995
Dolgans and Nenets are a different peoples (Dolgans from the turkic language
group, altaic language family; Nenets from the samoyed language group, uralic
language family). The territory was named after both and also after the local
toponym Taymyr Peninsula. The official name is Òàéìûðñêèé (Äîëãàíî-Íåíåöêèé)
àâòîíîìíûé îêðóã (Tai~myrskii~ (Dolgano-Neneckii~) avtonomnyi~ okrug), making
the short name Taymyria vary handy.

The islands Severnaa^ Zemla^ (Northern
Land) are part of Taymyria (itself part of
Krasnoyarsk Region).
According to my newer Russian atlases, these
islands are (very sparsely) inhabited exclusively
by russians. Any local flags would be town flags
(that may exist, but I doubt that it
is a priority for local leaders).
António Martins, 07 Aug 1999
I received yesterday from the Administration of Tajmyr (Dolgan-Nenets)
autonomous district of the Russian Federation the flag of this autonomous
district. This flag was authorized by the Decision Nº 4-053-P on May 23rd,
2000. The coat of arms of this autonome district was authorized on March
25th, 1998.

It shows on the light blue background a white disk (the sun?)
behind the goose, and four rays on the cardinal positions.

In the new volume of Vexilologie (120)
[vex], there is an article by
Mikhail Revnivtsev [rev01]
about some Russian regional flags is published. New data on
Taymyr (Dolgan-Nenets) Autonomous District - no flag!
(There is only the arms, blue shield with the Siberian goose
and "Arctic sun" emblem, but the reported armorial banner is
not official district flag.)

The Taimyr flag has been reported as comprising three
stripes of white over green over white, with a red stripe
at the hoist.

Also a flaf white - green - white with red band at hoist is atribued to
Taymir (1992) and to the “Republic of Nenets” (Emblèmes et Pavillons
44 [eep]).
Jaume Ollé, 27 Feb 2000
This flag and “Republic of Nenets” are fictions! I think it is a
fantasy of O. Tarnovsky...
