Emblem of the Soviet Union

The emblem of the Soviet Union was a symbol that represented the country before it fell apart in 1991. The emblem had a lot of different things on it that meant different things.

At the center of the emblem was a yellow hammer and sickle. The hammer represented the working people, like the builders and factory workers, while the sickle represented the farmers who worked in the fields. The two symbols together were supposed to show that the working people were coming together to build a better future for everyone.

Behind the hammer and sickle, there was a big red star. The star stood for the Communist Party, which was the political party that ran the Soviet Union.

Around the hammer and sickle and the star, there were ears of wheat. The wheat was a symbol of the Soviet Union's agricultural success, which means that they were really good at growing food.

Finally, there was a ribbon that said "Workers of the world, unite!" This was a message to people all around the world who worked hard, that they should come together to make the world a better place.

All of these symbols together made up the emblem of the Soviet Union, which was an important symbol for the country and what they stood for.
