Coat of arms of the Lithuanian SSR
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The coat of arms of the Lithuanian SSR was adopted in 1940 by the government of the Lithuanian SSR. The coat of arms was based on the coat of arms of the Soviet Union. It featured symbols of agriculture (oak branches and wheat). The rising sun stood for the future of the Lithuanian 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 banner bore the USSR State motto ( "Proletarians of all countries, unite!") in both Russian and Lithuanian (Visų šalių proletarai, vienykitės!).
The initialism of the LSSR is shown only in the Lithuanian language, LTSR, for Lietuvos Tarybų Socialistinė Respublika, Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic.
The pre-Soviet coat of arms of Lithuania was restored in 1990.
