We have no images of this flag. We only have reconstruction of the flag with the figures near the hoist made in ths. I visited Mongolia two times to research their flags and bought Mongolan flag books at a few museums and book stores. I could not find several historical flag images already reported from Europe such as mn red flag with yellow sun and crescent at canton. It is amazing to me. Mongolian flags design during that time were much more complicated.
Likewise they had national emblems with complicated design than we thought. Ben Cahoon, 27 March What may be the right one What did it symbolize - surely not 'Ungern'?
Jan Mertens, 15 March I wonder what primary documentation exists on this flag? Your message has led me to wonder if the flag is nothing more than the product of a comic book artist's imagination and yes the U might have stood for Ungern in that case. What was the publication date of that comic, and are there any reports of the flag which predate that?
On the other hand, if my mild skepticism is misplaced and the flag actually existed, perhaps the U is just the result of trying to reconstruct an image from a sketchy verbal description- maybe there was a yellow or orange flag with a horizontal black crescent such as the horizontal crescents appearing in the soyonbo and on other Mongolian flags.
Ned Smith, 16 March This was the last unit of the anti-Bolshevik White Army. Ungern was seen by inhabitants as the god of war and the reincarnation of Genghis Khan. The flag specification is gold with a black horse shoe in the center. The U or horse shoe stands for Ungern, leader of the state. He was executed by the Communists on 17 September The comic book by Hugo Pratt uses historical facts. Zachary Fois, 22 November Page - "The banners under which the army rode were nearly as varied as the soldiers themselves but two symbols were particularly important.
One was a curly capital M with II below it and a crown above. Unknown to Ungern-Sternberg Michael had already been murdered by the Bolsheviks] The other popular symbol was the swastika, often matched with the Mongolian soyombo.
This was, of course, an old and valued Buddhist motif, but Ungern would also have been aware of its anti-Semitic interpretation, as would most of the Whites. Of course if so, then the horseshoe would have to subsequently be inverted to get the image as we show it.
Page [describing the victory celebration after Ungern-Sternberg drove the Chinese out of Urga, and restored the Bogd Khan Holy King , or "Living Buddha", to power] "In their centre was a horse-drawn wooden pyramid on a cart, from which a huge flag rose. On it, woven in gold thread, was the soyombo, a national symbol of Mongolia, created by the first Bogd Gegen.
The Bogd in was the eighth; the first lived The red was for communism, the yellow for Buddhism. He lists a large bibliography of sources consulted, and he documents many of his statements. Unfortunately, he has not cited sources for the above statements regarding the flags, other than the vague mention of a surviving flag with the M II symbol.
Ned Smith, 10 August See 0,24 minute: orange flag with "U". The simple black flag with the letter "U" in orange background is very Russian look for the letter U is shaped like a horseshoe and a Russian ever place a horseshoe on your home or vehicle to bring luck with the tines down: for Russians a symbol of misery i unfortunately.
See min 0,39 -- Video 3. Authentic flag stored in a museum, probably as a war trophy.. The words are "God is with us" if translated literally, there would be no word "is". Tomislav Todorovic, 6 March I think flag with the letter "U" is a mistake.
It did not exist. Monogram "M" on the Ungern banner could be misinterpreted as a horseshoe. Victor Lomantsov, 11 April Based on the image at 40s, I expect. The fact that an M-like cypher upside-down could possibly be interpret as a U doesn't convince me that that's how the U flag report came into existence. Even less so since the poster of that video, Mad Monarchist, shows that same emblem right side up on every page of his blog.
If such a mistake ever took place, I would expect it was further in the past. Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg, 10 May Between the arrows on the Mongolia flag is a ying-yang symbol ancient Chinese symbol depicting the complementary dualities of light and dark, man and woman, old and young, etc.
Some say it is a symbol of two fish the fish meaning vigilance as they never close their eyes but given the Soyombo was created by a Buddhist with strong links to China I think the yin-yang is far more likely.
Surrounding this are two vertical rectangles, which are typcically taken to represent stone walls of a fortress, symbolizing strength and unity. The Soyombo symbol on a communist military medal. The symbol is seen everywhere in Mongolia these days as locals sport it on car stickers, key chains, and even tattoos with meanings as a nationalist or patriotic symbol. During the communist years but since removed a 5-point star was placed on top of the fire in the Soyombo symbol.
This gold star on a red background signifies that your country has been taken over by an autocratic, authoritarian communist government. It represents forced collectivization, removal of personal freedoms, the wholesale destruction of a nation's history and culture, the execution of the educated and religious classes, and the removal of a capitalist elite to be replaced by an equally corrupt and nepotistic socialist beauracracy Origins: The Soyombo symbol is part of a special Mongolian alphabet called the Soyombo script.
The first Mongolia flag came into use in when it was adopted by the Bogd Khanate, a government that had recently broken away from China. It featured the Soyombo symbol on a solid red field that was surrounded by a gold border.
The Khanate's flag fell out of use when it lost power in , and the government adopted a different flag when it returned to power in The new flag featured a golden circle and crescent emblem in the canton of a red flag, which makes it the only design that does not display the Soyombo symbol.
The Mongolian People's Republic formed shortly after that point, and its formation brought a new flag to Mongolia. The new flag was adopted in The middle blue symbolizes the color of land of the blue sky because you will see the clearest and bluest sky in Mongolia. The red stripe represents freedom and prosperity.
Also, the red color is symbol of the Communist era and Mongolian People Republic. The meaning of Soyombo is the freedom of Mongolian people and its independence.
It has several elements such as fire, sun, moon, earth, water, and yin-yang ancient Chinese symbol. As you see the fire on the upper part of the symbol, it symbolizes Mongolia past, present and future time.
