The Emblem of the Dagestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was the official symbol of the Dagestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (Dagestan ASSR), a constituent republic of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) within the Soviet Union. The emblem was adopted in 1927 and underwent several modifications until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Design and Symbolism[edit | edit source]
The emblem of the Dagestan ASSR was designed in accordance with the principles of socialist heraldry, which were common among the emblems of the various Soviet republics. The emblem prominently featured the following elements:
- A red star, symbolizing the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the victory of socialism.
- A hammer and sickle, representing the unity of the workers and peasants.
- A rising sun, symbolizing the future of the Soviet people and the bright future of socialism.
- Sheaves of wheat, representing agriculture and the prosperity of the republic.
- A ribbon with the motto "Workers of the world, unite!" in both Russian and the local languages of Dagestan.
Historical Context[edit | edit source]
The Dagestan ASSR was established on January 20, 1921, as part of the RSFSR. The emblem was created to reflect the unique cultural and economic characteristics of Dagestan while adhering to the broader themes of Soviet symbolism. The emblem was used on official documents, government buildings, and other state-related materials.
Modifications[edit | edit source]
Over the years, the emblem of the Dagestan ASSR saw several modifications, particularly in the text and the arrangement of elements. These changes were often made to reflect shifts in political priorities and to incorporate additional local languages as the republic's linguistic policies evolved.
Dissolution[edit | edit source]
With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Dagestan ASSR was transformed into the Republic of Dagestan, a federal subject of the Russian Federation. The emblem of the Dagestan ASSR was subsequently replaced by a new emblem that reflected the republic's new status and identity.
