Adopted on 20 March 1953.
White and green stripe near the bottom, with the following measures:
1/2 red, 1/5 white, 1/10 green, 1/5 red.
See here detailed construction information
of the hammer and sickle.

Specs.: stripes 5+2+1+2. In my opinion, this was the best looking
of them all.

The flag of the Tadzhik SSR was, unsurprisingly, red, with two horizontal
stripes of white over green. The white symbolized cotton production, the basis
of Tajikistani agriculture, and the green was for other agricultural produce.
The current Tajikistan flag continues this tradition,
being a red over white over green tricolour.

The colours are the same as the Iranian flag (albeit
in reverse order), and the Tajiks are the only one of the former Soviet Central
Asian nationalities who speak a Persian-related language than a Turkic one.
Could this choice of colours be deliberate?

Tajikistan become an internationally recognized
independent state in 9 September 1991.

This flag have been consistent and insistently reported as being
in use in 1991-1992 without the hammer and
sickle.

No hammer, sickle and star on the
reverse side.
Mark Sensen, 25 May 1997
Officially reverse looked like obverse without star and hammer-sickle.
But in fact I never saw these flags without star, hammer-sickle. Real flags
(all 15) usually were either with reverse analogous
to obverse (but with star and hammer-and-sickle near the hoist) or with
reverse = mirrored obverse.

The emblem of the SSR was introduced 1 March 1937
(according to Hesmer [hes92])
and replaced by a later one November
1992.
M. Schmöger, 16 Sep 2001
This simplified coat of arms was adopted in 1937, 8 years after
the previous, aproved in 1929.

On a webpage
dealing with the 15 federal units which composed the soviet Union in its
latest stage (constitution quotes from the 1980 versions), depicting (quite
poorly) the respective flags and arms. The emblem of Tadzhik SSR is shown
without star.
