After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the republics affiliated to the union gained their independence, while the autonomous republics have been restructured as republics affiliated to the Russian Federation. Autonomous Soviet republics, which were created with Soviet symbols during the Soviet period, adopted new flags instead of old flags and created new state arms. The flag preferences of the autonomous regions and the sources of the symbols they used in their flags were also different from each other. As in the rest of the world, flags made up of symbols referring to historical events, mythologies, country geography, religious symbols and folk culture were prepared and accepted by the competent bodies of the republics. In this paper, the reflections of Chuvash mythology and folk culture on the state symbols of the Chuvash Republic will be discussed.
