I wander where this design comes from. Like many other post-soviet russian
flags, it shows clear reminiscences of the RSFSR flag.
The spelling "Волкария"
("Volkariâ")
is quite weird, as the first letter should really be a cyrillic "b", not a
latin one. Balkars, by the way, call themselves "Malkar", so this is
not a local language issue. The second letter should also be something else:
an "a" — I smell super-correction syndrome (with an "o" it would still sound
as "a" in normative Russian pronunciation). All this may imply well-meaning
but not very astute “research” made by a non-russian.

This flag is a mistification. It never existed.
You can throw out it to garbage basket.
