Description and origin

James Minahanʼs Nations Without States [mnh96], says that after the Bolshevik Far East republic was established (6 April 1920), Far Eastern areas with an ethnic Ukrainian majority attempted to secede and establish an entity called Green Ukraine. The movement quickly proved abortive.

Flag proposals

In “Flags of Non-Russian Peoples Under Soviet Rule” by Prof. Walter Trembicky [tbc69], pages 134 and 135, it mentions two proposed flags for Green Ukraine, or the Ukrainian Far East, neither of which was officially adopted, since the movement quickly proved abortive. There are simple black & white line drawings illustrating the two proposed flags on p. 133 of [tbc69]. The green in the two flags was described as dark or deep green.

The author of the article [tbc69] cited as sources for these two flags «reports from refugees», so perhaps the drawings are only his reconstructions from verbal reports and not based on actual specifications or images.
