An earlier depiction of the flag, showing the horizontal stripes in a ratio of 1:2:2:2:1 and the coat of arms covering only two stripes.[1]

The stripes in the middle of this flag are inspired by the Black-yellow-white flag of the Russian Empire that was the country's official flag between 1858 and 1883. The oblast flag was designed under the supervision of Governor Alexander Rutskoy who was in office between 1996 and 2000.
