Symbol is incorrect

The usage of a swastika here is incorrect. The Hindu/Buddhist swastika is not angled, as the Nazi swastika is and as shown in the current version of this image, but is meant to be at a straight angle.

This image appears to have been sourced from the Flags of the World page. NB at the bottom of that page: "I suppose that Swastika (WWII style) flag you had for Karakorum is fake...". AjaxSmack (talk) 23:08, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

It is judged based on the use of flags that included red, white, and blue with swastika. Therefore, it is hard to tell whether it is true that the use of the flag is assumed to be fake.

When the Bolsheviks prevailed in the Altai region, there was a second try to establish the Oirot Republic. In 1921, at Biysk, the republic was proclaimed again, and the tri-band of blue, white, and blue, with the red swastika in the center, was hoisted. The white band was wider than the blue ones and the swastika is a solar symbol commonly used by many nations in that part of Asia. It wasn't a successful attempt at independence, but at the regional Soviet meeting at Tomsk, on July8, 1921, the re-establisment of the Oirot Republic was, at least, discussed. The meeting was attended by some leaders of the Oirot nationalism - Anichin and Konzychakov.

I think we should focus here on the use of colors like red, white, and blue in 1921, and eventually we can see that they used two flags together from the founding of the state to the end of the world. --Vichycombo (talk) 20:15, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
