Volga Germans / Wolgadeutsche
Wiki[link]
Settled over the centuries at the invatation of the Russian Tsars, the Germans were awarded their own autonomous republic
near Saratov in the Volga river region in 1924.
Stalin suspected them of treason in the face of the Nazi invasion and summarily deported all to Central Asia and Siberia.
The Volga Germans never returned to the Volga region. After the war, many settled in the Ural Mountains, Siberia,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.
Today there are approximately 600.000 Germans in Russia (1.5 million including people partly of German ancestry)
Note that there is another version of this flag which you can find in this [link]
