The Flag of Chelyabinsk is the official symbol representing the Russian federal subject (city under federal jurisdiction) of Chelyabinsk. Adopted on December 30, 2006, it consists of two horizontal stripes: green at the top and white at the bottom, with the coat of arms of Chelyabinsk in the center. The green color symbolizes the forested areas found within the region, while the white represents the snow-covered mountains and the purity of its inhabitants. The coat of arms, displaying a cross and an arrow, signifies the city’s historical connection to Christianity and its defensive role during ancient times.
