Here the standard of governors of Tomsk oblast, from this page. [Shows a flag identical to the regional flag, with golden fringe in all three free sides.]

Most of these flags are squarish (about 11:12), rigid and fringed variants of the region (Governors) or Republic (Presidents) flags with the regional emblem over all.

Seems that at the website is information about the flag of Tomsk oblast: White over green with coat of arms adopted 17 June 1991?
