In 1923 Khiva or Khwarezm is converted in the Socialist Soviet Republic of Khwarezm and adopted a new flag with the letters HSSR in the canton (but I don’t know if the letters are in latin or arabic characters) and above this the fivepointed red star with yellow border, and «under it» (I dont know if is «under the star or under the letters» the words in gold: «Workers of the world, Unite!» (in cirilic, in latin characters, in arabic characteres?, I dont know.)
