It features a red five-pointed star with a hammer and sickle at its center, flanked by three golden stars above and encircled by a white crescent bearing the Cyrillic acronym “ЭССР” (ESSR). Red stylized wings extend outward, symbolizing progress and unity under Soviet ideology. The design reflects both Soviet symbolism and localized national representation during the occupation period.
