To wrap up the number 179 of the VIda Soviética magazine, here's
a rather
unimportant tidbit.
One of the major articles in this number goes about the Semipalatinsk
nuclear polygon, whose existence was being fought by the locals. This
article is illustrated by several photos, including the one attached,
showing 4 kazakhs with ribbons saying "no" (HET, in russian) and holding a
banner, in cloth but seeming hand-made (or at least printed from a
hand-made matrix), showing the outline of a dove, the suggestion of a globe
and a few words. Above, the word goes "vsem" (BCEM - all), in the middle it
is not understandable, and below, in arc, it says "za mir" (3A MNP - for
peace).
But this is only a banner, not a flag. I have no idea if actual flags were
made with this symbol. It is possible, though - it was, quite clearly, an
organized movement, and could have had a variety of propaganda material.

I think the inscriptions is "WITH ALL SOCIETY FOR PEACE" (Vsem mirom za
mir).
