Emblem of the Kazakh SSR 1937-1978 (Soviet Union) (Coat of Arms) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases the iconic emblem of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic, a powerful visual testament to the region's history within the Soviet Union. The design is a faithful representation of the coat of arms that served as the official symbol of Kazakhstan from 1937 to 1978, reflecting the era's ideological underpinnings and artistic conventions.
Central Imagery and Symbolism
Dominating the design is a central motif of a rising sun, its rays spreading outwards. This represents the hope and promise of the future, shining a light on the Kazakh nation. Over the sun, a prominent red five-pointed star is featured, symbolizing the Communist Party's leadership and the guiding principles of socialism. Positioned centrally are the hammer and sickle, intersecting to illustrate the unity between industrial workers and agricultural laborers, a cornerstone of Marxist ideology.
Encircling Elements and Language
Two sheaves of wheat encircle the central components, signifying the importance of agriculture and the agrarian roots of the Kazakh SSR. Beneath this central arrangement, a ribbon elegantly displays the Soviet Union's state motto, “Workers of the world, unite!” This message is rendered in both Russian and Kazakh languages, underlining the republic's connection to both the broader Soviet project and its own national identity. The acronyms for the republic are included, using both the Russian (KССР) and Kazakh (ҚССР) alphabets, further emphasizing the official designation.
Historical Context
The design, as depicted on this hoodie, represents the specific modification adopted between 1939 and 1978. During this period, the hammer was consistently positioned above the sickle. The color intensity and other minor graphical details were revised later in 1978, but the basic form and essential symbols remain consistent in this representation of a historical coat of arms.
