The Russian ethnic republic in Ukranie was named Novorossiya
and was proclaimed c. 1992 but fall some days after. Flag of red
with Ukranian colors below could be used but is not confirmed
(some reports from Ukranie say that the Russian hoisted also old
Ukranian SSR flag without h&s at a larger collection of flags
with the russian colors in several arrangements) No more details
are known to me.

"Novorossiya" (something like HOBOPOCCNR) means
"New Russia". Quite unappropiate, considering that
deepest roots of Russian history are found precisely in the
territory of nowadays Ukraine...
Anyway, was this "republic" supposed to be a part of
newly independent Ukraine (like the current status of Crimea), a
genuine independent state, or an escape to grab territorry from
Ukraine to Russia? And where was it territorially based, if
anywhere in special? (I guess that in NE Ukraine)
Flag of red with Ukranian colors below can be used but I doubt
it: The 2R-1B-1Y horizontal would have been prefered by moderated
Ukranian communists. The old Ukranian SSR flag without h&s at
a larger collection of flags with the russian colors in several
arrangements is more probable, like the flags used by the russian
population of Crimea -- probabbly the
same people waving the same flags,
