Komi Nordic/Nationalist

In the 2010s Komi activists have been calling for the adoption of a new flag for the republic featuring a Nordic cross.[9] Supporters of the change argue that the Nordic cross flag is better suited for Komi as it highlights its connection to Finland and Scandinavia, the Komi being related to the Finns.[10] The most widely used flag was created by Sergey Sivkov in 2011 and uses the colours of the current flag. Blue symbolizes the lakes and rivers of the land, green for the taiga, and white for the snowy winters.[
