Abstract: We study the degenerations Fllaa of the type A flag varieties Flla. We describe these degenerations explicitly as subvarieties in the products of Grassmanians. We construct cell decompositions of Fllaa and show that for complete flags the number of cells is equal to the normalized median Genocchi numbers hn. This leads to a new combinatorial definition of the numbers hn. We also compute the Poincar' e polynomials of the complete degenerate flag varieties via a natural statistics on the set of Dellac's configurations, similar to the length statistics on the set of permutations. We thus obtain a natural q-version of the normalized median Genocchi numbers.
