The Gonfalon  

From the site of Ukrainian Heraldry:
"The gonfalon is a square canvas divided horizontal on three equal parts - green, red with a white cross in the middle, and black. The green colour symbolizes a young city, red with a white cross symbolizes a location of town on Volyn, black symbolizes a coal mining industry. The author is A.Grechylo."
Phil Nelson, 7 July 1999

The official site at <www.novovolynsk-rada.gov.ua> show a plain flag (without the white cross).

The City council adopted a flag (with the cross) on August 12, 1997. It was my design and I have a copy of council's decision. Unfortunately there are many errors in some web-sites.
