Each city in Russia and even small towns and villages have their own distinctive sign - the coat of arms, which is a kind of drawn "passport" of the territory. The word "rowing" itself has Polish roots, and in translation means "heritage". Indeed, coats of arms are passed down from generation to generation and without the need to make changes to them.
The coat of arms eloquently tells the history of the city, reveals its past. However, some coats of arms are puzzling: why exactly THIS is depicted on it? We present to your attention the most unusual and interesting, in our opinion, coats of arms of Russian cities.
Chelyabinsk
Chelyabinsk is the cast-iron capital of our country. It would seem, where does the camel? But it is this two-humped handsome man that is depicted on the coat of arms of the city, and this has its own rationale. Many centuries ago, the route of the “ships of the desert” passed through Chelyabinsk, along which goods from Asia were delivered to the capital and cities of the European part of our country.
Magnitogorsk, Chelyabinsk region
Everyone is familiar with Malevich's Black Square. But not everyone saw the Black Triangle depicted on the coat of arms of Magnitogorsk. The description of the coat of arms is very laconic: “There is a black pyramid in a silver field.” The image can be interpreted in different ways: it is both a tent in which the first builders of the city lived, and Magnitnaya Mountain, and a reminder that Magnitogorsk is the center of ferrous metallurgy.
Serpukhov, Moscow region
But in Serpukhov everything is much more joyful and cheerful: on the coat of arms of the city, a handsome peacock has spread its tail. In the 18th century, Empress Catherine ordered "all cities to have a coat of arms", and a small questionnaire was sent to each, where it was necessary to indicate the exclusive and unique feature of the settlement. From Serpukhov came the answer: "peacocks will be born in the monastery alone ...". As it turned out later, a pair of these outlandish birds, from which the entire Serpukhov peacock family descended, was presented to the Vysotsky Monastery as an offering. However, this minor note was the reason for the appearance of a tailed bird on the main symbol of the city.
Shuya, Ivanovo region
The first acquaintance with the coat of arms of Shuya can be confusing. What is it: a brick in honor of the builders or a parallelepiped, putting down geometry and regular shapes? Everything is much simpler - this is a bar of ordinary soap, "meaning the glorious soap factories of the city." But the current description of the coat of arms is much more prosaic: the soap bar turned out to be just “a golden bar with three edges.”
Irkutsk
Many coats of arms contain animals, and all of them are easily recognizable. But what kind of animal on the coat of arms of Irkutsk is difficult to figure out: an African-American tiger with webbed paws and a beaver tail, holding a dead sable firmly in its teeth? Initially, a tiger was indeed depicted on the coat of arms, but it was rarely seen in those places, and the very name “tiger” did not take root among Siberians, and a strong striped cat was called “babr”. Over time, officials who did not shine with knowledge in the field of exoticism confused the babr with the beaver and “painted on” the hind legs and tail like a beaver to the Irkutsk tiger, and repainted the striped skin black.
Snezhnogorsk, Murmansk region
Perhaps the most "cute" can be called the coat of arms of Snezhnogorsk. It features a somewhat cartoonish seal as a symbol of the local shipyard of the same name. On the other hand, this coat of arms is a real classic in heraldry: snowflakes speak directly about the name of the city, thus making the coat of arms “semi-vowel”.
Epifan village, Tula region
The coat of arms of Epifani by modern standards can be compared with forbidden propaganda: hemp is depicted on it. Based on an old description, on the coat of arms "you can see a field from which three hemp epics grow like a shield." Naturally, our ancestors did not suspect the intoxicating properties of these "epics", and hemp was cultivated exclusively for the manufacture of ropes and oil.
Zheleznogorsk, Krasnoyarsk Territory
A bear breaking an atom... Sounds strong and even menacing. However, such a bear is painted on the coat of arms of Zheleznogorsk. According to the description, it is a symbol of the unity of the forces of nature and human thought.
For the creators of coats of arms, the name of the city often serves as a “hint”. It is not difficult to guess what the coats of arms of the two cities of the Penza region of Upper Lomov and Nizhny Lomov look like.
And now try to imagine for yourself what you would draw on the coat of arms of the city of Dukhovshchina, which is located in the Smolensk region? Naturally, "in an open field, a rose bush with a pleasant spirit"!
The coat of arms is a visiting card of any city, its face and, in modern terms, a barcode. Some of them are real works of art, while others sometimes look funny and unusual, but this does not detract from their significance for residents.

The term coat of arms is a Polish word (herb), which goes back to the German Erbe, which means "inheritance". In a broader and generally accepted sense, a coat of arms means an emblem or a distinctive sign with depicted symbols, objects, animals, plants, etc., which reflect, if I may say so, the essence of its owner, which can act as a single person, so is the family clan, estate, city, state. As a rule, the coat of arms is passed down from generation to generation, being the universal identifier of its representative.
Basically, the structure of a standard coat of arms (read, modern) consists of such components as a heraldic shield, heraldic helmet, baptism, crest, shield holders, crown, mantle and motto.
In a form close to the current form, coats of arms arose in England and France during the Middle Ages. The first such (in the modern sense) coat of arms is considered to be a shield on which six golden lions are depicted against an azure field. According to the dominant, but controversial, version, this coat of arms was received by the eldest son of King Fulk V of Jerusalem, Geoffroy V of Anjou, from his father-in-law, King Henry I of England, in 1127 or 1128 in connection with his marriage to the daughter of the English king Matilda.
Coats of arms began to spread actively during the growth of the production of military weapons and equipment. It is believed that the appearance of the helmet had a primary influence on the popularity of coats of arms. Usually, in those distant times, coats of arms, especially military ones, were tried to be decorated in bright colors.
In addition to the fact that the coat of arms performed an identification function, in military affairs it often served as a kind of psychological factor that frightened the enemy (in this case, gloomy tones were used with symbols or images of allegorical death, torment, suffering, etc.).
Today, coats of arms are divided into several types: family coats of arms, coats of arms by rank, corporate coats of arms. In turn, each of these categories is systematized according to more specific features. For example, family coats of arms are represented by noble, petty-bourgeois, peasant, civil coats of arms. Coats of arms are divided by rank into large (those that have all the relevant elements), medium (have only the main elements) and small (only a shield or a shield with a crown). Corporate emblems include emblems of clubs, schools, military units, organizations, companies, concerns, etc.
We will focus on the most, perhaps, the most famous and "large-scale" coats of arms - the state ones, which are the national symbols of their states, emphasizing the most characteristic features of the national spirit.
Emblem of the Russian Federation along with the flag and anthem is one of the main state symbols. It is a heraldic shield of red color, having a rectangular shape, the lower corners of which are rounded, and the ends are pointed. It depicts a golden double-headed eagle, raising its spread wings up. On the heads of the eagle there are two crowns, above which, in turn, there is one large crown, connected with a small ribbon. With the right paw the eagle clutches the scepter, with the left - the orb. In the red shield on the chest of the eagle, a silver rider dressed in a blue cloak is depicted on a silver horse. The rider strikes the overturned and defeated black serpent with a silver spear.
The main symbols of the Russian coat of arms are interpreted as follows. Three crowns - sovereignty and unity of the whole as a whole, and incl. and all regions and . A scepter with an orb in the paws of an eagle - power and a single state. The heads of the eagle turned in different directions are a connection with the West and East, Europe and Asia. The two heads are the unity of the spiritual and the secular. The third crown above the smaller crowns also symbolizes the divine patronage of Russia or the power of God over the state. The horseman slaying the snake is interpreted in the broadest sense as the victory of good over evil. Also in this figure is displayed the holy Great Martyr George the Victorious, or George the Serpent Fighter, revered in Rus' since ancient times (see others).

Prior to this, the official coat of arms was the Pogonya coat of arms, which historically is the successor to the coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which has been used since 1991. The current official Belarusian coat of arms is an emblem depicting the green contour of the state border of the republic in a silver field against the background of the golden rays of the sun rising over the globe. Above the field is a five-pointed red star. On the sides, the coat of arms is framed by a wreath of golden ears, which are intertwined with clover on the right and flax on the left. On each side, the wreath is girded three times with a red-green ribbon, in the middle of which, at the base of the coat of arms, the words “Republic of Belarus” are drawn in gold (see others).

In the Small Coat of Arms, a trident with a thin yellow edging is located on a blue shield. According to the Constitution of Ukraine, another element should be displayed on the Great Coat of Arms - a Cossack with a musket, which is a symbol of the Zaporizhzhya Army (see others).

On both sides, the shield is supported by a red lion and a silver griffin standing on its hind legs. Under their paws are green branches intertwined with a ribbon.

In the first case, the emblem "represents" the president, the prime minister and the Seimas, the Prosecutor General's Office, the Supreme Court, the Bank of Latvia, the country's embassies and consulates.

The shield itself is divided into four parts, symbolizing the four independent Armenian kingdoms: Bagratids, Arsacids, Artashesids and Rubenids. The lion and eagle supporting the shield are symbols of pride, nobility, wisdom and patience. For many centuries they acted as symbols of royal dynasties. At the bottom of the coat of arms is a broken chain, which symbolizes independence and freedom.

On the sides of the coat of arms are framed by the wings of the mythical horses Tullars, and the inscription “Kazakhstan” is placed below. Shanyrak symbolizes the common House for all Kazakhs. In a deeper sense - the House of all things in the universe. At the same time, just as the strength of a shanyrak depends on each of its supports (uyks), so the happiness of the people of Kazakhstan depends on the well-being of each inhabitant.
