In the Chuvash State Regional Museum is displayed an original flag of the
1773-1775 peasant revolt leaded by Pugaĉov. I don’t know if it was
the only used copy or, if not, if all used flags looked the same, but anyway
here’s the one at the exhibition. Its a square flag, red with four white
squares 2×2 forming a cross and a edge frame, larger in the hoist and in
the upper side. The colors are now faded to brown red and grey, but a painting
of that time clearly shows the original colors.
