The Law on flag was adopted by Moscow Regional Duma (decision #5/155) on 3
dec 1997, but the governor was against it. He did not signed the Law, and Law
did not took it into power. Flags were not made. On 9 march 1999 Governor (A.
S. Tyazhlov), after consultation with historicians, signed the Law at last (1,5

of regional Duma and regional Administration.
