Emblem of the Komi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic

The first emblem of the Komi ASSR was described in the first Constitution of the Komi ASSR, which was adopted by the Central Executive Committee of the Komi ASSR on 26 May 1937, at the 11th Extraordinary Congress of Soviets of the Komi ASSR.[1]The emblem is described in Article 116 of the constitution :

The state emblem of the Komi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic is the state emblem of the RSFSR, which consists of the image of a golden sickle and hammer placed crosswise, arms down, on a red background in the rays of the sun and framed by ears of the RSFSR and “Workers of the world, unite!" in Russian and Komi languages with the addition under the inscription "РСФСР" letters of a smaller size inscription "Коми АССР" in Russian and Komi languages.

— Constitution of the Komi ASSR (1937), Article 115[2]

The name of the republic is the same in both Russian and Komi, so there are only one inscription of the name of the ASSR in the emblem.

On 1938, the writing system of the Komi language was changed. The Komi inscriptions on the emblem, which previously used Latin Molodtsov alphabet, was changed into Cyrilic letters.[3]

On May 23, 1978, the Extraordinary 8th Session of the Supreme Council of the 9th convocation of the Komi ASSR approved the new Constitution of the Komi ASSR.[4]The emblem is now described in the Article 158 of the constitution :

The state emblem of the Komi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic is the State Emblem of the RSFSR, representing the sickle and hammer on a red background, in the rays of the sun and framed by ears, with the inscription: "РСФСР" in Russian and "Workers of the world, unite!" and Komi languages with the addition under the inscription "РСФСР" letters of the smaller size of the inscription "Коми АССР". At the top of the emblem is a five-pointed star.

— Constitution of the Komi ASSR (1978), Article 112[5]

There was minor changes on the emblem. A star was supplemented at the top of the emblem. The motto in the Komi language changed from "СТАВ СТРАНАЯССА ПРОЛЕТАРИЙЯС, OТУВТЧОЙ!" became "СТАВ МУВЫВСА ПРОЛЕТАРИЙЯС, OТУВТЧОЙ!".

The regulations on the emblem were approved by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Komi ASSR on September 15, 1981.
