Coat of Arms of Dushanbe (Soviet Union) - Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

A Glimpse into Soviet-Era Dushanbe

This sticker showcases the historical Coat of Arms of Dushanbe from the Soviet period, a visual testament to the city's identity within the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic (Tajik SSR) from approximately 1953 to 1991. The design embodies the aesthetic and symbolic language prevalent in Soviet heraldry, offering a fascinating glimpse into the city's past.

Design Elements and Symbolism

The central imagery features a stylized shield shape, a common element in Soviet city emblems. Dominating the design are the majestic mountains, reflecting the prominent Pamir and surrounding ranges that characterize the region's geographical landscape. This emphasizes Dushanbe's location within the mountainous terrain of Tajikistan.

Beneath the mountainous imagery, an industrial gear or similar motif is prominently displayed. This symbol represents the city's industrial development, manufacturing, and the emphasis on mechanization, a recurring theme in Soviet emblems of cities with industrial activity.

A stylized red flower, often a tulip, adds a touch of local nature and agricultural imagery. This floral element grounds the emblem in the region's natural environment, providing a visual link to local flora.

At the top, the iconic red star, a five-pointed symbol, takes its place, representing the values of communism and the Soviet state. This is a direct acknowledgement of Dushanbe's place within the USSR.

Finally, the inscription "ДУШАНБЕ" ("Dushanbe") is integrated into the design, providing clear identification of the city the emblem represents.

This Coat of Arms offers a vibrant representation of the city's past and reflects the artistic and ideological influences of the Soviet era.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
