The state anthem of the Republic of Karelia was approved by law on 6 April 1993. The music of the anthem was composed by Alexander Beloborodov and in most parts follows the melody of the Finnish traditional song "Karjalan kunnailla". The Russian lyrics were written by Armas Mishin and Ivan Kostin; the Finnish lyrics were written by Mishin alone, the Karelian text was written by Alexander Volkov. Since December 2001, the Russian lyrics is the official one.
The National flag of the Republic of Karelia is a tricolour featuring three equal horizontal stripes of red, sky blue and green. Red means bloodshed, blue stands for the sky, lakes and rivers and green for the woodlands of Karelia.
