[edit] History

On 22 September 1923 the coat of arms was confirmed by the chairman of the presidency of the ZK, A.S. Jenukidse. The condition of the Soviet Union, which was accepted by the IITH congress of the Soviets on 31 January 1924, confirmed the new coat of arms officially. At first it had over three turns of the red volume on each half of the ear ring. On one turn each the text stood "for proletarian of all countries, combines you!" in Russian, Ukrainian, Byelorussian, Georgian, Armenian and Tatarian.

During the 1930s, text on Tatarian with Latin writing was added, and the Russian variant was shifted into the center. In 1937 there were 11 languages, and in 1946, 16. In 1956 the Finnish text from the coat of arms was removed, and up to the end to the USSR 15 text variants on the coat of arms remained.
