Hello Lloyd,
no, nothing like that. In the Russian Empire, Volhynia had no state of
autonomy like the Kingdom of Poland, the Grandduchy of Finnland or even
the Baltic provinces with their traditionally German administration, but
was just a gubernia (administrative unit) with the governor not being
elected but appointed by the Tzar. Of course towns within the Volyn
gubernia had - like others - their flag and coat-of-arms.
