The '''emblem of the Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic'''<ref>{{cite book|title=Encyclopedia Arctica 15-volume unpublished reference work (1947-51)|publisher=Dartmouth College Library|page=1|edition=10th|url=http://collections.dartmouth.edu/arctica-beta/html/EA10-08.html|accessdate=16 March 2015}}</ref> was adopted on February 10, 1941 by the government of the [[Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic]] and used until it was absorbed into the [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic]] in 1956.<ref>{{cite web|title=Finland and American intelligence Secret history|url=http://www.economist.com/blogs/easternapproaches/2011/12/finland-and-american-intelligence|website=http://www.economist.com|publisher=The Economist|accessdate=16 March 2015}}</ref>

The emblem is based on the [[State Emblem of the Soviet Union|state emblem]] of the [[Soviet Union]]. It shows symbols of [[agriculture]] ([[pine]] boughs and [[rye]]) and the local [[terrain]] (a swift-flowing [[river]] from the [[hills]]). The rising [[Sun]] stands for the future of the Karelo-Finnish nation; and the [[red star]] as well as the [[hammer and sickle]] for the victory of [[Communism]] and the "world-wide socialist community of states".<ref>{{cite web|last1=Sensen|first1=Mark|title=Finno-Karelia in the Soviet Union (1940-1956)|url=http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/su-qf.html|website=http://www.crwflags.com|publisher=Flags of the World|accessdate=16 March 2015}}</ref>

The [[slogan]] on the banner bears the Soviet Union state motto ("[[Workers of the world, unite!]]") in both the [[Russian language|Russian]] and [[Finnish language]]s. In Finnish, it is "'''Kaikkien maiden proletaarit, liittykää yhteen!'''".

The name of the Karelo-Finnish SSR is shown in both Russian and Finnish.

From 1956 to 1991, the [[Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic]] used a variant of the [[Emblem of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic]].
