Introduction

Note the often use of serration lines in the familiar shape following the Yamalo-Nenetsian flag, itself a stylization of the antler crown found also in the flags of Yugra and Tyumen Region (the latter encompassing all this) and some other local flags.

A pretty colorful and handsome flag of Russia’s newest town: Gubkinskiy, located in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Established in 1986, legalized in 1988.
Chrystian Kretowicz, 25 Jan 2002

Undoubtedly an yamalian flag, with the Tyumen’s “antler crown” motive stylized just like in the Yamal-Nenetsia aut. flag.
António Martins, 28 Nov 2002

The symbol at top hoist reminds me of a petrochemical industry logo, which may be not far from the truth — this region being one of Russia’s main oil and gas extraction centers.

Kharp

Харп

   image by Alten Keeton, 26 April 2025

Kharp is a small village/urban-type settlement in Yamalo-Nenets, with a population of 6,413 as of the 2010 census.

COAT OF ARMS:
We start at the top where there's a long row of silver needles, these needles are a tribute to the town's name (which means northern lights). Below are three peaks with snow above the timber line, as the mountains lie on a grassy field. below the tri-peak system are two stones made also of silver. As we get to the coastline, it's grassy with a silver border. In the bright blue color of the Arctic Ocean is a large fish.

FLAG:
The flag is very similar to the coat of arms, basically an extended version of it. However, there are small differences. The silver needles in the sky and the silver border of the coastline have been changed to a bright white, and of course there are more humps of each.

COAT OF ARMS:
The coat of arms consists of two great peaks with one smaller peak in between, planted in a snowy field. Above the smallest peak is a six-armed snowflake in the blue sky. On the smaller peak is a small tree, above the centered deer head. The deer head is colored in a golden-brown, with a white outline on the face along with a white nose and black slanted eyes. On each side of the deer head lies a group of trees, three on each side and mirrored. The trees have a light green base with a thick dark green border and a thin yellow border on top of the dark green. Below the deer head lies a bumpy, snowy coastline into the blue Arctic Ocean.

FLAG:
The flag is similar to the coat of arms, but with visible changes. On the left is a blue strip representing the sky, with a snowflake at the top of the strip. To the right of the strip is a big snowy area with the deer head in the middle. This time however it is more golden, with a yellow nose, eyes outlined in yellow, and the head being outlined in yellow and green. Above and to the sides are the same seven trees, but with a white core and a dark green outline.

Presentation

Tazovskiy county lies high in the northern hemisphere, behind the Polar circle. Coordinates of the regional centre (urban type settlement Tazovskiy) are 67,5°N 78,6°E. The territory is made of peninsulas: Tazovskiy (a.k.a. Small Yamal), Gydan, Mamont, Yavaj; and islands: OleniY, Shokalskogo, Neupokoyeva, Velnitskogo and Damned islands. The area has 174 000 km2 with 16 300 inhabitants in five settlements, including 6200 in Tazovskiy city.

Taz-river basin natives call it the Tasu-Yam-yaha — the yellow large river. The Russian state arrived at Tazovskiy peninsula in the 16th century and set a sable fur trade post, soon ruined. Second settlement in 1883: factory Khalmer-S*d* (nenets for "tombs on hills") is founded. Soviet Russia, in December 10, 1930, creates Yamalo-Nenets national (later autonomous) district and within it Tazovskiy rajon with the centre in village Khalmer-S*d* — renamed Tazovskiy in 1949.
