Second version

On 1938, the writing system of the Komi language was changed. The Komi inscriptions on the flag, which previously used Latin Molodtsov alphabet, was changed into Cyrillic letters. [3]

After the changes to the flag of the Russian SFSR in 1954, the flag of the Komi ASSR was accordingly changed. This was confirmed by the amendment to the Constitution of the Komi ASSR on 23 July 1954 by the Supreme Soviet of the Komi ASSR. [4] The flag is now described in the Article 112 of the constitution :

The state flag of the Komi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic is the state flag of the RSFSR, consisting of a red cloth with a light blue stripe at the flagpole in the full width of the flag. The light blue bar is one eighth of the flag's length. In the upper left corner of the red cloth there are golden sickle and hammer and above them a red five-pointed star, framed by a golden border, with an inscription in golden letters under the image of a golden sickle and hammer "Komi ASSR" in Russian and Komi. The ratio of the width of the flag to the length of the flag is 1:2.

Constitution of the Komi ASSR (1937; 1954 amendment), Article 112 [5]

On March 16, 1956, the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Komi ASSR approved the Regulations of the Flag of the Komi ASSR.

On May 23, 1978, the Extraordinary 8th Session of the Supreme Council of the Komi ASSR on the 9th convocation approved the new Constitution of the Komi ASSR. The flag of the Komi ASSR was described in Article 158. The design of the flag remained unchanged.
