The Kharkov People's Republic (also known as the Kharkiv People's Republic) (Russian: Харьковская Народная Республика) was a short-lived self proclaimed quasi-state in Kharkiv, Ukraine.^[5]

The flag is still used by pro-Russian separatists, along with the new one (in which they differ by the color of the stripe above, the republican is green and the occupation is purple), proclaiming that the republic will be reconstituted with the help from Russia.
