Abstract: We study the $$ degenerations $F{l}_l^{a}a$ of the type $A$ flag varieties $F{l}_{l}a$. We describe these degenerations explicitly as subvarieties in the products of Grassmanians. We construct cell decompositions of $F{l}_l^{a}a$ and show that for complete flags the number of cells is equal to the normalized median Genocchi numbers $h_n$. This leads to a new combinatorial definition of the numbers $h_n$. 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.
