A Coat of Arms was traditionally used in Europe by feudal lords and knights in the mid-12th century on battlefields, later spread to those closest to the lords and knights and squires, priests and other ecclesiastical dignities.
However, keeping in mind the nature of anti-imperial and anti-bourgeoise dispensation which ruled Russia(RSFSR) in the 20th century, using the term "coat of arms" would not be in sync with the socialist culture that ruled Soviet Union.
So here the term "emblem" or "state emblem" would be more appropriate |

"National" is more appropriate for Nations - sovereign countries, including today's Russia. Dictionaries, including ABBA Lingvo, confirm that.
