Soviet State Seal

vikingraider1 · 01-31-2004, 06:16 PM

Can anybody tell me the dates that the Soviet state emblem was modified and what were the modifications?
What I need to know...(and I know I am asking a lot here)

1. The initial states that were represented on the first seal,
2. When the wartime states that were annexed during WWII appeared on the seal
3. What post-war modifications were made and yearof change.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Taz, that has partly helped.
I am going to be a real pain and ask what were the original states that were represented on the first seal?

1922:
The 10th All-Russian Congress of Soviets/1st All-Union Congress of Soviets takes place. Present are the RSFSR, the Transcaucasian SSR, the Ukrainian SSR, the White Russian SSR.

1924:
The Uzbek and Turkmen SSRs are formed.

1929:
The Tajik SSR is formed.

The 1936 Stalin Constitution names 11 republics as forming the USSR: the RSFSR, the Ukrainian SSR, the White Russian SSR, the Georgian SSR, the Armenian SSR, the Azerbaijan SSR, the Kazakh SSR, the Kirghiz SSR, the Uzbek SSR, the Turkmen SSR, and the Tajik SSR.

In March of 1940, the Karelian ASSR is upgraded to Karelo-Finnish SSR, pending the conquest of Finland. It is downgraded back to ASSR in 1956.

In August of 1940, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania become the 14th, 15th, and 16th SSRs (in no particulate order).
In the same month [August of 1940], Bessarabia and Bukovina are annexed by the USSR. Bukovina and Southern Bessarabia are attached to the Ukrainian SSR. The Ukrainian Moldavian ASSR is split into two parts: a section along the Dniestr is attached to the remainder of the newly annexed Bessarabia, and named Moldavian SSR, and the remainder of the ASSR is absorbed into the Ukrainian SSR.
