Historical flags

Following its formation from parts of the Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus in 1921, the Dagestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic had several flags of the standard ASSR, first red flags defaced with the initials of the ASSR name (i.e. ДАССР) and then a RSFSR flag defaced with the same. With the fall of the Soviet Union, Dagestan dropped the А (for Автономная 'autonomous') from its flag and the inscription read simply ДССР. [5] A flag with horizontal blue and yellow stripes may have been used briefly in 1993 and 1994 until a variation of the current horizontal tricolor was adopted in 1994. [5]
