The table below presents final versions of the renderings of the Soviet republics' coats of arms prior to the dissolution of the USSR in 1991 , as well as the arms of three republics that ceased to exist before that time. For comparison, national arms of present day successor states of the Soviet republics are also shown. As can be seen, most Asian post-Soviet republics use arms based on or reminiscent of the Soviet-era emblems. Most European republics, on the other hand, reverted to their traditional pre-Soviet arms. Belarus used the traditional Pahonia as its coat of arms from 1991 to 1995 when it was replaced by a new emblem closely resembling the Soviet-era design. Additionally, the secessionist Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (Transnistria), internationally recognised as part of Moldova , uses an emblem based on the Coat Of Arms Of The Moldavian SSR (see Coat Of Arms Of Transnistria ).
