Coats of Arms of the Soviet Republics
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:
| Russian SFSR | Ukrainian SSR | Byelorussian SSR | Uzbek SSR | Kazakh SSR |
| Georgian SSR | Azerbaijan SSR | Lithuanian SSR | Moldavian SSR | Latvian SSR |
| Kirghiz SSR | Tajik SSR | Armenian SSR | Turkmen SSR | Estonian SSR |
