Karakalpak Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, 1952
In 1952, the flag of Uzbek SSR was changed, and the flag of the Karakalpak ASSR was changed accordingly: red with a light blue horizontal stripe through the centre, with white fimbriation, one fifth of the width of the flag. At the hoist, above the stripe, is the hammer and sickle emblem in gold, with above it a gold-fimbriated red star. Below that is the name “Karakalpak ASSR” in the Uzbek and Karakalpak language underneath it, both in gold capital Cyrillic letters.
