Not very furry related (maybe except for the phoenix) but here are two country coat of arms that I was commissioned to do for a customer's fictional world. Always interesting to build these from the bottom up!
I'm open for heraldry commissions starting at $60 - message me if interested ^^ !

These definitely fit the Soviet aesthetic!
Interestingly, grain was not the only type of produce used for these. Individual SSR seals would often be modified as needed to reflect traditional products and exports of individual SSRs: the Uzbek SSR, for instance, had a cotton plant and the Georgian SSR, a wine-producing region, had grapes, as did the neighbouring Armenian SSR.
Also every single one of them had its own anthem. The Armenian SSR's anthem was composed by Aram Khachaturian, who is probably the most famous and beloved Armenian composer ever.

Absolutely, in fact you'll see the globe from the Uzbek SSR was used as an element in the first one. Moldova had grapes, Romania had an oil well etc.
And the second one was sourced with elements from the Hungarian coat of arms from that time, as well as some Soviet Medals ^^

I actually lived in a city called Ekaterinburg (formerly Sverdlovsk in Soviet times) for a long time and tbh I got the impression that a lot of people there were kind of nostalgic about the Soviet Era. Not because they approved of dictators, supported repression, or endorsed the violent subjugation of the Warsaw Pact and other nations such as Afghanistan. But I think for them it was a case of they approved of the Soviet ideal. They liked the optimism that was inherent to that period with the idea that the world can be made better and that those who live in it can actively work to make it a better place for everyone: regardless of gender, race, or nationality.
I find it hard to entirely disagree with the best parts of the Soviet system even if I staunchly disagree with its worst elements. Cherish the good, learn from the bad.

Soviet-style heraldry holds a unique and captivating charm, reminiscent of a bygone era filled with grand symbolism and powerful imagery. The intricate designs and bold colors featured in Soviet-style emblems and coats of arms are truly captivating. When it comes to commemorating achievements or recognizing accomplishments, Custom medals are the perfect embodiment of honor and distinction. Whether it's for sporting events, academic achievements, or military accolades, custom medals offer a tangible representation of excellence.
