History
During the rule of the Tsardom of Russia, Russian Empire, and Soviet Union, Kharkiv did not have its own flag. However, from either 1651 or 1659 to 1765, the city was the regimental center for the Kharkiv Regiment, which had its own flag, which was used at times to represent the region.
The banner consisted of a cross in a glow and above it two angels with trumpets holding a crown.
