Flag of Kabardino-Balkaria

The flag of Kabardino-Balkaria in the Russian Federation (Russian: Флаг Кабардино-Балкария; Karachay-Balkar: Къабарты-Малкъарны Байрагъы; Kabardian: Къэбэрдей-Балъкъэрым и нып) is a horizontal tricolour, charged with a white silhouette of Mount Elbrus, the highest mountain in Europe, in the center.

In the center of the white stripe is a circle crossed by a light-blue and green field.

The light-blue color on the flag symbolizes the boundless and clear sky of the Kabardino-Balkarian land, as well as its rivers and waters.

White is a symbol of peace and purity, as well as Islam, which is the traditional religion in the republic.

The green color is also revered in Islam, being also the personification of fertility and beauty, the beautiful nature of Kabardino-Balkaria, and also revered by the Kabardians (Adyghe people) – one of the two titular peoples of this republic.
