The Chuvash Republic has its own National Flag, National Emblem and National Anthem.
The Regulations of the National Flag of the Republic and the National Coat of Arms were adopted bythe State Council of the Chuvash Republic on the 29 of April 1992. (Article158 of the Constitution of the Republic)
The National Flag of the republic is a symbol of the Chuvash State. It is a rectangular panel, divided horizontally with yellow above and purple below. In the centre we can see armorial bearings. A tree of life is a symbol of revival and above it there are three suns which mean present, past and future of the Chuvash people. The National Flag of the Chuvash Republic is flown constantly over the buildings, where the president of the Chuvash Republic, the State Council (Parliament) of the Chuvash Republic, the Cabinet (Government) of the Chuvash Republic, and local self-government bodies have their offices; for the period of meeting - over the buildings, where sessions of the State Council of the Chuvash Republic or meetings of the Chuvash Republic local self-government representative bodies take place; during holidays and memorable days - over the buildings of Ministries, State Committees and departments, other state bodies of the Chuvash Republic, those of enterprises, institutions and organizations, as well as apartment houses. The National Flag of the Republic may also be hoisted during ceremonies and other public events held by state bodies of public organizations and enterprises.
The National Coat of Arms of the Chuvash Republic is its official emblem. It is a gold heraldic shield with a purple base and the ancient Chuvash emblem The Tree of Life, crowned with three suns. It is framed with a purple gold-bordered ribbon on which The Chuvash Republic is written in golden letters in the Chuvash and Russian languages. The purple base of the heraldic shield signifies the Chuvash Land. The yellow colour symbolizes the space under the sun, inhabited by the Chuvash people. The originator of the National Flag and the National Coat of Arms of the Chuvash Republic is Elli Yuryev. He is also the designer of the Coat of Arms of Cheboksary (1969).
The National Anthem of the Chuvash Republic was written by the famous Chuvash composer Herman Lebedev and the Chuvash poet Ilya Tuktash. The Anthem of the Chuvash Republic expresses three circles of images: arousing nature from sleep to new life; family – parents, children, relatives; unity and harmony of all relatives in the Chuvash world. The melody and the lyrics of the anthem are very close to Chuvash folk songs but they have up-to-date sounding and meaning.
