About the flag

The law of Pskov oblast is at http://www.pskov.ru/downloads/ustav.htm with the article about flag, coat of arms and anthem bearing Nr. 4. I don't know if they have adopted the symbols already but they don't answer to messages sent to them to have information on this subject (neither in english nor in russian).

The old coat of arms of Pskov (28/05/1781) has been officially approved at 13/11/1992 by Pskov's City Soviet of People's deputies.
