The flag of the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic flag shows a yellow hammer and sickle and outlined star on a red field above rippling water at the bottom,〔''Guide to the Flags of the World'' by Mauro Talocci, revised and updated by Whitney Smith (ISBN 0-688-01141-1), p. 20.〕 and was adopted by the (former) Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic on January 17, 1953. Prior to this, from August 25, 1940, the flag was red with the gold hammer and sickle in the top-left corner, with the Latin characters ''LPSR'' (''Latvijas Padomju Sociālistiskā Republika'') above them in gold in a serif font. The Soviet-era flag was officially replaced in 1990, when the national Flag of Latvia was reintroduced, and its use at public events is now banned. ==See also== * Flag of Kiribati, flag with similar design and colors * Flag of the Soviet Union * Coat of arms of the Latvian SSR * Flag of Latvia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flag of the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
