I've altered the order of appearance of the soviet coats of arms in accord to the time when the capital of the countries became part of the Muscovy/Russian Empire or Soviet Union:

At the same time, this organization also shows the republics in a logical geographical/ethnic grouping:

  • Slavic bloc: Ukraine, Belarus
  • Caucasian bloc: Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia
  • Central Asian bloc: Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan
  • Baltic bloc: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania
  • Eastern European bloc: Moldova

[edit] Order of Soviet COAs and flags

Hi Explendido,

Could you explain more about the reason why ("Constitutional order") you have changed the display order of the coats of arms and flags of Soviet Union?

Constitutional order comes from the amount of people populationg that particular republic. The same goes for people of the USSR. In Soviet censuses it would be interstingly split first come the titled nationalities with union republics (Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians...etc) Then dwellers of the autonomous republics (These are group ordered alphabetically, (by group I mean all the peoples in a shared republic are given together eg. Dagestan, Checheno-Ingueshetia etc). Then come those with autonomus regions (Adygeyans, Cherkessians), then those with autonomus/national distrcts (Chukchi, Evenkians), then other indegious people of the USSR that do not have any national representitive (Saams, gypsies). And only after then come the non-native people living in the USSR (Americans, French etc.). --Kuban Cossack 00:03, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
The order should be the same as it was historically used. The best source would be to look into the Constitution of USSR. [1] If this is what Kuban Kazak means then I support it. KPbIC 01:14, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
It is. I hope no one minds Karelo-Finnish SSR. --Kuban Cossack 09:07, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
