The flag of Snezhinsk is of red color with the stylized image of
a snowflake of white color with five rays (incorrect as snowflakes
have always 6 rays), in center of which is placed the image of the
symbol of science (nuclear physics) — the image of
the orbits of the electrons are in the form of a pentagonal star.

The design, showing a (very!) stylized snowflake, is canting, as
"sneg" | "снег" is Russian for
"snow". (The closest word in russian is "sneẑniĭ" |
"снежний", which means
"snowy"; the city derives through the same path, "г" becomes
"ж".)

It bears a more than passing resemblance with the defunct
Comecon flag…
