Coat of arms of the Karelo-Finnish SSR
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The coat of arms of the Karelo-Finnish SSR was adopted on February 10, 1941 by the government of the Karelo-Finnish SSR and used until it was absorbed into the Russian SFSR in 1956.
The coat of arms is based on the coat of arms of the Soviet Union. It shows symbols of agriculture (pine boughs and wheat) and the local terrain (a swift-flowing river from the hills. The rising sun stands for the future of the Karelo-Finnish nation, the red star as well as the hammer and sickle for the victory of communism and the "world-wide socialist community of states".
The slogan on the banner reads, "Proletarians of all countries, unite!" in both Russian and Finnish (Kaikkien maiden proletaarit, liittykää yhteen!).
The name of the Karelo-Finnish SSR is shown in both Russian (Карело-Финская ССР) and Finnish (Karjalais-Suomalainen SNT).
From 1956 to 1991, the Karelian ASSR used a variant of the coat of arms of the Russian SFSR.
