Introduced in 2012 by the State Committee of Standardization of the Republic of Belarus, the design was adapted from a referendum where the modification was approved. The flag modified was the Belarus 1951 flag when they were a part of the Soviet Union. The modifications made in 1995 were the removal of communist symbols, such as the hammer and sickle as well as the red star. The ornamental pattern on the hoist was also inverted in the referendum, going from white-on-red to red-on-white. The pattern was designed in 1917 by Matrona Markevich; the pattern derives from local plants and flowers. The pattern is a traditional Belarus design used in woven garments and most importantly a woven cloth used for ceremonial events like religious services, funerals, and other social functions. Sadly, Matrona’s husband was arrested for anti-Soviet propaganda and later executed during the Soviet repression of Belarus in 1937. After his execution, the Markevich family was dekulakised, which was a Soviet campaign of political repressions. The Soviet party would arrest, deport, and execute millions of kulaks, the prosperous peasants and their families. The original ruchnik used in the pattern of the flag has not survived, either being confiscated by the NKVD in 1937 or was destroyed during the events of World War II.
