During the Korenizatsiya period, most of the autonomous republics of the USSR, including Yakut ASSR, were encouraged to create a flag to suit their national tradition. Yakutia itself adopted a flag which depicted Aurora on its canton during this period.
After 1937, the korenizatsiya policies were reversed. A new flag of the Yakut ASSR, which is similar to the flag of the Russian SFSR was adopted. The flag of Yakut ASSR is now a red flag with the inscriptions of the name of the republic.
