After 1990
In 1990, the Gorno-Altai Autonomous Oblast upgraded itself to the Gorno-Altai Soviet Socialist Republic. The next year the republic held a competition to design a new flag. Several submitted designs mimicked the Russian tricolour in variation; two depicting an enlarged blue stripe and a smaller white and red stripe. White stood for the Altai Mountains and the nobility of the people, blue for the Turkic peoples and the skies above the republic, and red for the peoples fight for freedom.[1]
