Emblem of the Kabardino-Balkarian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic
== Emblem of the Kabardino-Balkarian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic ==
The Emblem of the Kabardino-Balkarian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was the official symbol of the Kabardino-Balkarian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (KBASSR), a constituent republic of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) within the Soviet Union. The emblem was adopted in accordance with the general principles of socialist heraldry and was used until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Design[edit | edit source]
The emblem of the KBASSR featured the traditional elements of Soviet heraldry, including the hammer and sickle, which symbolized the unity of the workers and peasants. The emblem also included a rising sun, representing the future of the Soviet state, and a red star, symbolizing the Communist Party and its leadership.
The central shield of the emblem depicted a landscape with mountains, reflecting the geographical features of the Kabardino-Balkarian region. The emblem was surrounded by a wreath of wheat and cotton, symbolizing agriculture and the fertility of the land. A red ribbon with the motto "Proletarians of all countries, unite!" in both Russian and the local languages of the KBASSR encircled the emblem.
Historical Context[edit | edit source]
The KBASSR was established on January 5, 1936, as part of the Soviet Union's policy of granting limited autonomy to various ethnic groups within its borders. The emblem was designed to reflect the unique cultural and geographical characteristics of the Kabardino-Balkarian region while adhering to the broader principles of Soviet symbolism.
Usage[edit | edit source]
The emblem was used on official documents, government buildings, and other state-related materials within the KBASSR. It served as a symbol of the republic's identity and its place within the larger framework of the Soviet Union.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the KBASSR was transformed into the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, a federal subject of the Russian Federation. The emblem of the KBASSR was replaced by new symbols that reflected the post-Soviet identity of the region.
