Emblem of the Moldavian SSR (1941-1957) - Tumbler 20oz

The Emblem of the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic, used from 1941 to 1957, served as a symbol of state authority and national identity during the Soviet era. Designed with a red field bearing a golden hammer, sickle, and five-pointed star in the center, it also included a sheaf of wheat, a torch, and a cogwheel in the lower half to represent agriculture, enlightenment, and industry respectively. The emblem was surmounted by a five-pointed red star and encircled by the text "Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic" in the Moldovan and Russian languages. This symbol played a crucial role in reinforcing the ideological bond between the Republic and the larger Soviet Union, while also reflecting the unique character of Moldavia within that union.
