Something may have changed: The emblem at <www.a-election.com.ua>
doesn't include the "OUN" acronym, and the name found
there is definitely "Congress" (Ukrainian acronym:
KUN), not "Organization" (Ukrainian acronym: OUN). A
minor change of the name and emblem lately?

At <www.mnk.iptelecom.net.ua>,
one can see the plain red-black flag at the bottom, and the same
flag charged with emblem at the top.
The site is in Ukrainian so I can only guess that either it is
flags of two related movements or that this movement changed its
symbol and flag to the upper ones.

The flag has many different shades, which one is true?
Zach Harden, 10 March 2003
My guess is that party flags do not have "official"
specifications or construction sheets. If I had to guess I'd say
the brighter B-Y-R are what the party members have in mind; the
pastel shades (the faded blue and pink seem to go together)
suggest faded specimens.
Note the resemblance to the flag of Galicia;
I wonder if it's just coincidence.......

I managed to gain access to the party website, and found that
the Slavic Party holds that Ukraine lacks the economic basis for
political independence, and should reunite with Russia and
Belarus. As far as I could see, only the triband is a
flag. The circular design is labeled "emblem."
John Ayer, 14 May 2002
The specs seem to be 2:3 = (2+6+2):15, with emblem and
lettering "Slavānskaā partiā".
I guess this is not Ukrainian, but russian, and thus this slavic
party is rather a Russophile party (Soviet-nostalgic, monarchist,
ethnic Russian?).

Social-Democratic Party of Ukraine. The flag was adopted in
1992. Rose is a traditional symbol of social-democrats, 7 stars
symbolize 7 letters in the word "Ukraine", blue and
yellow - national colours of Ukraine.

Social-Democratic Party of Ukraine (Sotsial-Demokratychna Partiya
Ukrainy--SDPU) - Led by Verkhovna Rada deputy Yuriy Buzduhan, it
nominated only 127 candidates, few of whom are well-known.
Marchuk had originally appeared likely to run on the SDPU list
but chose the SDPU (o) instead (Vseukrainskiye Vedomosti, 21
October 1997). Buzduhan called the rival SDPU (o) not a social
democratic party but a "financial-petrol clan of Surkis and
Medvedchuk" (Vseukrainskiye Vedomosti, 21 October 1997).
Viktor Medvedchuk, head of the Lawyers Union, is No. 4 on the
SDPU (o) list, and Hryhoriy Surkis, head of Kiev's Dynamo soccer
club, is No. 5.

with the body of their leader Anatoly Lupynos, and their
nationalist flags during a funeral procession in Kiev, Ukraine,
on Tuesday, February 8, 2000. Lupynos, one of the founders of
Ukraine's Popular Movement (Narodny Ruch) , who served 27 years
in Soviet-era prisons, died on Saturday, Feb. 5. He was 62. The
activists of UNA took part in the Russian-Chechen war against
Russia and took part in other armed conflicts, acting against the
Russians. (AP Photo/Viktor Pobedinsky) "

Detailed information and images about this flag refered was

Jaume Ollé, 20 Febuary 2000
Ukrainian National Assembly (UNA) - The party was founded in
1990. The party flag is red with black cross (symbol of Cosacces)
and sign of "infinity". The sign is torn. It must
symbolize that the process of building of ukrainian state was
interrupted in the past.

The Ukrainian People Democratic Party seems to use a
horizontally divided blue-yellow-green flag. The party website
shows the logo of the party with these three colours and
something looking like a flag (on the rigth middle of the page, 7
cm below (PDP). see: <ndp.org.ua>.
I don't know anything about this party. The top two-thirds of the
flag are evidently related to the Ukrainian colours. I assume it
is anti-Communist or at least not Communist since red colour is
not used in the flag.
Ivan Sache, 16 November 2001
The Political Handbook of The World, 1997 has:
"Popular-Democratic Party of Ukraine (Narodno-Demokratychna
Partiya
Ukrainy - NDPU). The NDPU was registered in June 1996 as the
result of a merger of centrist political forces, including the
Party for Democratic Revival of Ukraine (partiya Demokratychna
Vidrodzhennia Ukrainy - PDVU) and the Labor Congress of Ukraine
(Trudova Kogres Ukrainy - TKU). The PDVU had earlier formed the
core of the New Ukraine (NU) center-left alliance and had won
four seats in the 1994 ballotting. In 1998 the NDPU got 28 seats.
Leader: Anatoliy Matviyenko".

Jaume informed me off-list that the correct proportions of the
PNP flag could be 1:2. From the "image" of the flag on
the party website, it is "between" 2:3 and 1:2. I
initially made it 2:3 according to the Ukrainian natonal flag.
Ivan Sache, 17 November 2001
The Ukrainian inscription of PDVU by Jarig is not correct. The
name in Ukrainian looks like Democratic Party of Revival...
(correct name is Party of Democratic Revival..., of course).
Correct Ukrainian name is - Partiya Demokratychnogo Vidrodzhennya
Ukrainy. The ukrainian name of TKU is not correct too. Must be -
Trudovyi Kongres Ukrainy
Regulation on symbols of the People Democratic Party was adopted
on 17, June, 2000 by Executive Committee of the party.

a dark device (that is not visible). Anyone know if this can be
same flag (in a variant version) or other different party flag?

of action, enthusiasm and freedom.White - this colour is a base

Working Ukraine (Vyborchyy Blok "Trudova Ukraina") - It
was formed by the Civil Congress of Ukraine (Hromadyanskyy
Konhres Ukrainy) and Ukrainian Justice Party (Ukrainska Partiya
Spravedlyvosti). The Civil Congress, based in Donetsk, was
created in 1992 by representatives of the east and south to
defend the Russian language and promote closer integration with
Russia. (see Note 12) The bloc put up a slate of 117, including
Kiev City Mayor Oleksandr Omelchenko, Minister of Foreign
Economic Ties Serhiy Osyka, and first assistant to the premier
Andriy Derkach. The anti- Kuchma paper Silski Visti (29 January)
asserted that Working Ukraine is filled with people "who
worked or are working in the president's Administration or
cabinet" and is a "'fifth column' in the veterans'
movement." The list is headed by veterans (No. 1 and No. 3)
and includes a total of 25 members of veterans' organizations.

It was asked about an Ukrainian orange-white-blue flag as
follows:
"I'm french and I'm looking for a flag. A friend saw a flag
on a licence car plate from ukraine, from the top : orange (or
yellow may be) - white - blue"
In my city I can see frequentky Ukranian cars and they bear the
national flag and the quoted flag is unknown. But if was in a
shape of an oval perhaps it is a independentist flag (Ruthenian
or Lemko or other?).

least three types of flags:
- Flag of the UNSO.
- A pale blue flag with some yellow device. Maybe OUN.
- A yellow flag with a variant of the Ukrainian trident on a blue
field.
