This flag resembles the [[flag of the Soviet Union]] in a defaced form but with the three horizontal stripes consisted of the 2/9 (two-ninths) of the blue (azure) bar in lower part of flag and the [[hammer and sickle]] in the near centre.<ref>[http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/su-kz.html Kazakhstan in the Soviet Union - CRW Flags]</ref>

==History==

The second flag was red with the gold [[hammer and sickle]] in the top-left corner, with the [[Cyrillic script|Cyrillic]] characters ''Казак ССР'' (''Kazak SSR'') and ''Казахская ССР'' (''Kazakhskaya SSR'') in gold to the right of the hammer and sickle was adopted on 10 November 1940 which adopted a law on the transfer of Kazakh writing in Russian alphabet charts, modified accordingly and the inscription on the emblem.<ref name=QKSRFlag>[http://www.vexillographia.ru/kazakhst/index.htm Флаги Советского Казахстана]</ref>

The [[Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic|Byelorussian SSR]] emblem was used as the [[coat of arms]] of the [[Republics of the Soviet Union|Soviet Socialist Republic]] until the fall of the [[Soviet Union]]. The coat of arms is based on the coat of arms of the [[Soviet Union]].

The central feature of the emblem is the crossed [[hammer and sickle]], the universal [[Communist]] symbol signifying the unity of the [[worker]] and the [[peasant]]. Below the hammer and sickle is a [[globe]], which is superimposed atop a [[Sunrise|rising sun]]. [[Wheat]] ears surround the central device, with flowers on each ear; [[clover]] on the left and [[flax]] on the right. A red ribbon is wrapped around the wheat ears, signifying the [[red flag (politics)|red flag]] used by the Communist movement. At the base of the emblem, the letters '''БССР''' (BSSR) appear, shorthand for the full name of the republic, Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic ('''Беларуская Савецкая Сацыялістычная Рэспубліка''' ''Bielaruskaja Savieckaja Sacyjalistyčnaja Respublika''), shown only once, since it reads the same in both Russian and Belarusian. On each side of the ribbon, the USSR State motto (''[[Workers of the world, unite!]]'') appear in [[Belarusian language|Belarusian]] on the left ('''Пралетарыі ўсіх краін, яднайцеся!''' ''Pralietaryi ŭsich krain jadnajciesia!'') and in [[Russian language|Russian]] on the right ('''Пролетарии всех стран, соединяйтесь!'''). At the top of the emblem, a [[red star]] for Communism is present.

The Byelorussian SSR had a coat of arms since 1926, yet the last emblem that was used was adopted in the 1980s. The earliest version also had the text in Yiddish and Polish. Other than that, the latest emblem and the earliest emblem only differed in minor details. The 1950s arms was designed by [[I.I. Dubasov]], [[People's Artist of the USSR]].<ref name="bssr">Heraldicum [http://www.heraldicum.narod.ru/belarus/sovet2.htm History of the Byelorussian SSR emblem]. Retrieved Mar. 01, 2006. {{Ru_icon}}</ref> During the first years of the SSR the emblem shared basically the same background as the ones of the Russian SFSR and the Ukrainian SSR before the first version of the arms was used.

After independence, [[Belarus]] adopted the [[Pahonia]] as the national coat of arms. This changed under the presidency of [[Alexander Lukashenko]] after a [[1995 Belarus Referendum|controversial 1995 referendum]] in which the [[National emblem of Belarus|basic Soviet design was reintroduced]] with the outline map of Belarus replacing the hammer and sickle.
