I'm not sure about the current status of these companies. The ships and their routes naturaly go on existing, but the companies might have been privatized, partly or entirely, split or joined to others, renamed, and/or might have adopted new house flags (streamers).

Nizhne-Dneprovskoe gosudarstvennoe rechnoe parohodstvo

I saw this in magazines of the 1970ies, and I know it was adopted in the 1920ies. I think it really used until the 1990ies.

I have seen this one in use on the top mast of some passenger ferries in Cheboksary (by the Volga), several times during the last couple of years. Perhaps the other such streamers fell out of usage due to their explicit obsolete symbology (hammer-and-sickle and/or "CCCP"), but the star seems to remain current.
