::::::Well, let me address the point of concern. I hav just consulted a Russian book called ''Сборник нормативных актов по вопросам применения государственных символов'' ("Collection of Regulatоry Acts on the Use of State Symbols") published in 1986. In it, there is an ordinance called "Regulations on the State Coat of Arms of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" enacted on March 31, 1980. In its text, it mentions no shading. Nor is any shading visible in the official drawing attached to the text. Hence, we may conclude that all the multitude of the shaded versions are nothing but unofficial versions of the coat of arms. They were made, I suppose, for the simple reason to make the coat of arms more visually attractive, nicer. They were made because the official version lacks life and joy in itself.

::::::This, dear Michaelwuzthere, does not invalidate what I said earlier in this topic about the general level of Wikipedia's quality. -[[User:JohnnyWiki|JohnnyWiki]] ([[User talk:JohnnyWiki|talk]]) 22:25, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
