The extraordinary 9th session of the Supreme Council of the Mordovian ASSR of the 9th convocation, adopted a new Constitution of the Mordovian ASSR on May 30, 1978. The flag, which was described in the Article 158 of the constitution, remained unchanged. By the Decree of the Supreme Council of the Mordovian ASSR, the Statute on the flag of the Mordovian ASSR was introduced, which was amended slightly by the Law of June 3, 1981. [3]

As the Mordovian SSR

On 7 December 1990, the government of the Mordovian ASSR adopted the Declaration on the Legal Status of the Mordovia, which changed the status of the republic from an ASSR to an SSR. From 1990 and until 1995, when the new flag of Mordovia was introduced, the Mordovian SSR uses its previous flag, but with the inscription "ASSR" being replaced by "SSR". [4]
