![[Flag of Tajikian SSR in 1953]](../images/s/su-tj.gif)
Adopted on 20 March 1953.
White and green stripe near the bottom, with the following measures:
1/2 red, 1/5 white, 1/10 green, 1/5 red.
See here detailed construction information
of the hammer and sickle.
Mark Sensen, 25 May 1997
Specs.: stripes 5+2+1+2; h&s placement and size unknown!
In my opinion, this was the best looking of them
all.

The flag of the Tadzhik SSR was, unsurprisingly, red, with two horizontal
stripes of white over green. The white symbolized cotton production, the basis
of Tajikistani agriculture, and the green was for other agricultural produce.
The current Tajikistan flag continues this tradition,
being a red over white over green tricolour.

The colours are the same as the Iranian flag (albeit
in reverse order), and the Tajiks are the only one of the former Soviet Central
Asian nationalities who speak a Persian-related language than a Turkic one.
Could this choice of colours be deliberate?

Tajikistan become an internationally recognized
independent state in 9 September 1991.

This flag have been consistent and insistently reported as being
in use in 1991-1992 without the hammer and
sickle.

The emblem of the SSR was introduced 1 March 1937
(according to Hesmer [hes92])
and replaced by a later one November
1992.
