Presentation of Transcaucasian SFSR

It was established in March 12 1922 as Federal Union of Socialist Soviet Republics of Transcaucasus, ФСССРЗ (FSSSRZ); reorganised in December 13 1922 to ЗСФСР (ZSFSR), Transcaucasian Socialistic Federal Soviet Republic (Закавказсая Социалистическая Федеративная Советская Республика).
Gvido Pētersons, 26 Mar 1999

After the three republics (Armenia, Azerbaidjan, and Georgia) had been conquered by the Red Army, a Transcaucasian Socialist Federal Soviet Republic was formed in 1922, becoming a Union Republic of the USSR in the same year. In 1936 this republic was abolished and Armenia, Azerbaidjan, and Georgia were established as Union Republics.

Flag with large star

In a 1923 banknote I’ve found what seems to be a red flag with a five pointed star belonging to the Federation of Socialist Soviet Republics of Transcaucasia, flown on top of a bulding (perhaps the Soviet) in Erevan (?).

I am presenting, to those interested, a set of historic emblems from the excellent website of Christian Siemers (sadly gone from the net by now). The last emblem reflects the change from Arabic (or Persian) to Latin script in the Azeri language.
