Kemerovo Region is the homeland of the Shor people
(S^orcy, in russian), one of the largest russian
peoples without it's own
republic or autonomous district.
António Martins, 18 Feb 1999
This flag is clearly a variant of the
siberian colors, consisting of
unequal stripes of white (5) black (2) and green (5),
with a ratio of 3:5.
About the meaning of the superimposed black stripe I
can only speculate that it relates to coal, being the
north of this region very industrialized and harbouring
a large coal mining basin — kuzbas.
