The emblem of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic was adopted on February 14, 1937 by the government of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic. The emblem is based on the emblem of the Soviet Union. It shows symbols of agriculture (sickle, cotton and wheat) and heavy industry (hammer). The rising sun over a map of the Soviet Central Asia symbolizes the future of this region, while the five pointed red star stands for the "socialist revolution on all five continents". The banner bears the Soviet Union state motto ("Workers of the world, unite!") in both the Russian and Uzbek languages. In Uzbek, it is "Бутун дунё пролетарлари, бирлашингиз!" (in the current Uzbek Latin script: "Butun dunyo proletarlari, birlashingiz!"). The acronym of the Uzbek SSR is shown only in the Uzbek alphabet. The Karakalpak Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic used a variant of this emblem, with the state motto in both Karakalpak and Uzbek languages, and the republic's acronym. The earlier version of the emblem, from 1947 until the late 1970s, had a silver hammer and sickle before the emblem was redone with a gold hammer and sickle. The emblem was changed in 1992 to the present Emblem of Uzbekistan, which retains many parts of the old Soviet one. History First version On July 22, 1925, the Central Executive Committee (CEC) of the Soviets of the Uzbek SSR adopted Resolution No. 67 "On the arms and flag of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic" which "temporarily, pending the adoption of the Constitution of the Uzbek SSR" a coat of arms was adopted. The design of the coat of arms, taken as a basis, represented images on a white background in the golden rays of the sun of silver uraca (a sickle) and a hammer criss-crossed downwards, surrounded by a wreath of ears and a branch of cotton; On the scarlet ribbon wrapping a wreath, there was an inscription "УзССР" (in Uzbek language in Arabic alphabet and in Russian), in the upper part of the emblem there was a red star with a gold border; the coat of arms was surrounded by an inscription from above in Uzbek, from below in Russian: "Workers of all countries, unite!". First revision On October 8, 1925, the Central Executive Committee of the Uzbek SSR adopted a resolution "On drafting the Constitution of the UzSSR and on the composition of the commission for the development of this project."
