The Emblem of the Komi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was the official symbol of the Komi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (Komi ASSR), a constituent republic of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) within the Soviet Union. The emblem was adopted in accordance with the traditions of socialist heraldry and was used until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Design[edit | edit source]

The emblem of the Komi ASSR 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 people, and a red star, symbolizing the rule of the Communist Party.

The emblem was framed by a wreath of wheat ears, which signified the agricultural richness of the Komi region. A red ribbon with the motto "Workers of the world, unite!" in both Russian and Komi was wrapped around the wheat ears. The name of the republic was inscribed in both Russian and Komi at the bottom of the emblem.

Historical Context[edit | edit source]

The Komi ASSR was established on August 22, 1921, as part of the RSFSR. The emblem was created to reflect the ideals and values of the Soviet state, emphasizing the importance of unity, agriculture, and the leadership of the Communist Party. The design of the emblem was influenced by the State Emblem of the Soviet Union and other Soviet republics' emblems.

Usage[edit | edit source]

The emblem was used on official documents, government buildings, and other state-related materials. It served as a symbol of the Komi ASSR's identity within the Soviet Union and was an important part of the republic's visual representation.

Legacy[edit | edit source]

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Komi ASSR was transformed into the Komi Republic, a federal subject of the Russian Federation. The emblem of the Komi ASSR was replaced by a new emblem that reflects the contemporary identity of the Komi Republic.
