Coats Of Arms Of The Soviet Republics




The coats of arms of the Soviet Socialist Republics all featured predominantly the Hammer And Sickle and the red star that symbolised Communism , a rising sun (although, since the Baltic Sea is west of Latvia , it could be interpreted as a setting sun), surrounded by agricultural products of the republic (e.g., Cotton for the republics of Central Asia , Wheat for the Ukraine, grapes for Moldova , etc.). They all had the USSR State Motto in both the republic's language and Russian . Their final versions prior to the dissolution of the USSR in 1991 looked like this:

Nowadays the former Soviet Union territories that use modified versions of their original soviet coat of arms are the unrecognized republic of Transnistria (former region of Moldavian SSR ), Uzbekistan , Tajikistan and Belarus .
