The number of republics in the USSR became 16 after the USSR entered World War II and annexed the Baltic states, Western Ukraine and Finnish Karelia in 1939–40, before Germany's invasion began in June 1941, but the state emblem was changed to reflect this only after the end of the war. By a Decision of Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on 26 June 1946, all 16 constituent republics were represented on the emblem. The USSR State Motto was inscribed on 16 ribbons in 16 languages.
