History

First version

The first coat of arms of the SSR of Abkhazia was similar to the coat of arms of the Russian SFSR. The Emblem was adopted in 1921. The coat of arms contains the motto "Workers of all countries unite" in Russian, surrounded by Russian inscriptions "Сов. Соц. Республика Абхазии".

Second version

The III All-Abkhazian Congress of Soviets, held from March 26 to April 1, 1925, adopted the Basic Law (Constitution) of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Abkhazia, in which the coat of arms was written in Article 115:

The State Emblem of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Abkhazia consists of an image of a gold sickle and a hammer against the backdrop of a landscape of Abkhazia with an inscription in Abkhazian language" С.С.Р. Abkhazia. "The upper part shows a red five-pointed star in the sun. The coat of arms is framed by an ornament depicting a wreath of corn, tobacco, and grapes, and is surrounded by a red border with an inscription in the Abkhaz language:" Workers of all countries, unite!

Constitution of the SSR of Abkhazia (1925), Article 115

Third version

Since 1926, the inscription "ССР Аҧсны" in the Abkhaz language has been moved from the central image to the circular red border and duplicated in Russian (ССР Абхазия) and Georgian (საბჭოთა სრა), like the slogan "Proletarians of all countries, unite!".

This change was fixed by a revised edition of the Constitution of the SSR of Abkhazia, adopted at the Fourth All-Abkhazian Congress of Soviets in March 1927. The coat of arms is described in Article 101:

The state emblem of the Socialist Soviet Republic of Abkhazia consists of an image of a golden sickle and a hammer against the backdrop of the landscape of Abkhazia. The upper part shows a red five-pointed star in the sun. The coat of arms is framed by an ornament depicting a wreath of corn, tobacco, and grapes and is surrounded by a red border with a superposition in three languages - Abkhaz, Georgian and Russian: "SSR Abkhazia" and "Workers of all countries, unite!"

Formed in the aftermath of the Red Army invasion of Georgia in 1921, it was independent until 16 December 1921 when it agreed to a treaty that united it with the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic. The SSR Abkhazia was similar to an autonomous Soviet republic, though it retained nominal independence from Georgia and was given certain features only full union republics had, like its own military units. Through its status as a "treaty republic" with Georgia, Abkhazia joined the Transcaucasian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, which united Armenian, Azerbaijani, and Georgian SSRs into one federal unit when the latter was formed in 1922. The SSR Abkhazia was abolished in 1931 and replaced with the Abkhaz Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic within the Georgian SSR.
