Description of the flag

Both symbols [flag and arms] have been adopted on December 27, 2001 during a meeting of the deputees of the regional legislative assembly. The flag is described having a red background with a camel (historical symbol) and a yellow stripe symbolizing the Ural mountains, their beauty and the richness of their subsoil.

According to this article, the regional flag was first hoisted on April 4, 2002.

Coat of arms

A camel (Camelus bactrianus) is shown — clearly not the chimaera-like simargl reported in 1999.

No flag in 2000

The information on Chelyabinsk Region is very poor. We know only that: In the end of 1999 a coat of arms was proposed. It consists of flying lion with dog’s head (named Simargl) and sables as supporters. The only avaliable laws are about contest (Regulation on contest and other not-interesting things).
Victor Lomantsov, 14 Feb 2000

Flag with simargl was not oficially adopted. It is only a project.
Victor Lomantsov, 23 Dec 2002

The beast portraited in the Nogai ethnical flag sure fits the description of this simargl — and though Daghestan (where the Nogai dwell) is some 1500 km SW of Chelyabinsk region, there may be a connection, as both Nogay and Bashkir (the second largest ethnical group in Chelyabinsk region, after the Russians) are (western) turkic (slim connection, shared with eight other peoples of the Russian Federation, but who knows…).

Unofficial flag of 1992-1993

Unofficial flag of 1992-1993

In 1992 or 1993 some regions self upgraded to constituent republics, and used ephemeral unofficial flags. One of the main republics was Cheliabinsk, with flag blue - white - green.
Jaume Ollé, 15 Apr 2000

I’m sure that this flag is a fiction. I don’t know who is author… It was adopted never and existed never.
Victor Lomantsov, 17 Apr 2000

Would this have any thing to do with (an incorrect report of) the current flag of neighbouring Bashkiria?…
