This flag had always been intended to be temporary, as it was changed less than a year after its adoption. The second flag had the letters РСФСР (RSFSR) written in yellow within the <a href="/wiki/Canton_(flag)" title="Canton (flag)">canton</a> and encased within two yellow lines forming a <a href="/wiki/Right_angle" title="Right angle">right angle</a>. The next flag was used from 1937, notably during <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>. Interesting because it was used until Stalin's death when a major <a href="/wiki/Vexillology" title="Vexillology">vexillological</a> reform was undertaken within the Soviet Union. This change incorporated an update for all the <a href="/wiki/Flags_of_the_Soviet_Republics" title="Flags of the Soviet Republics">flags of the Soviet Republics</a> as well as for the flag of the Soviet Union itself. The flag of the Russian SFSR was now a <a href="/wiki/Defacement_(flag)" title="Defacement (flag)">defaced</a> version of the <a href="/wiki/Flag_of_the_Soviet_Union" title="Flag of the Soviet Union">flag of the Soviet Union</a>, with the main difference being a minor repositioning of the hammer and sickle and most notably adding a blue vertical stripe to the <a href="/wiki/Hoist_(flag)" class="mw-redirect" title="Hoist (flag)">hoist.</a> This version of the flag was used from 1954 all the way to 1991, where it was changed due to the ongoing <a href="/wiki/Dissolution_of_the_Soviet_Union" title="Dissolution of the Soviet Union">collapse of the Soviet Union</a>. The flag was changed to a design that resembled the original ensign of the <a href="/wiki/Tsardom_of_Russia" title="Tsardom of Russia">Tsardom of Russia</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Russian_Empire" title="Russian Empire">Russian Empire</a>, with a notable difference of the flag ratio being 1:2 instead of the original 2:3 ratio. After 1993, when the <a href="/wiki/Soviet_republic_(system_of_government)" class="mw-redirect" title="Soviet republic (system of government)">Soviet form of government</a> was officially dissolved in the <a href="/wiki/Russian_Federation" class="mw-redirect" title="Russian Federation">Russian Federation</a>, the flag of the Russian Federation was changed to the original civil ensign with its
