Emblem of the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic

The national emblem of the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (Tatar ASSR) was adopted in 1937 by its government and is identical to the emblem of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR). The first version of the emblem, designed in 1920 by Tatar artist Baqi Urmançe, had no official status.

The third version of the emblem was first revised on June 25, 1937, when the Extraordinary XI Congress of Soviets adopted the Tatar ASSR's first Constitution. This constitution, approved by the RSFSR Supreme Soviet on June 2, 1940, described the emblem as modeled after the RSFSR emblem but included additional inscriptions in both Tatar and Russian: "Tatar ASSR" and "Workers of the world, unite!" The emblem was officially approved on October 4, 1937.

A second revision occurred on May 5, 1939, when the Presidium of the Supreme Council adopted a decree to switch the Tatar alphabet from Latin to Cyrillic, altering the inscriptions on the emblem. This change was finalized by law on August 17, 1939.

The third revision took place on May 31, 1978, when the extraordinary 9th session of the Supreme Council adopted a new Constitution for the Tatar ASSR. Article 157 introduced a red five-pointed star to the emblem. The regulations governing the arms were approved by the Presidium of the Supreme Council on June 1, 1981.
