image by Tomislav Šipek, 31 March 2020The flag of Kostroma city is of ratio 2:3, divided along horizontal into 4 stripes — blue, yellow, white and dark-blue, that occupy respectively 2/3, 1/12, 1/12 and 1/6 of the width; on the upper stripe, near the hoist, is reproduced the shield depicting a yellow galley with the white sails and the emperor standard developed from the pole. The sequence of the arrangement of the colored horizontal stripes on the flag symbolizes the panorama of ancient Russian Volga city, in this case:
