green), stored in the State Hermitage Museum. The
shield is framed by a wreath of golden ears that symbolize agriculture as the
leading branch of the Altai Territory economy. The wreath is intertwined with
a blue ribbon (Of the Order of Andrew) Arms of Barnaul 08.05.1846 The image
of the blast furnace is reproduced from the same furnace on the coat of arms of
Barnaul, approved in 1846, where from the middle of the 18th century copper
and silver smelters began working. The furnace also symbolizes the
development of the mining and metallurgical industries in the Gornozavodsky
District, since 1828, the Altai District. |
“Tsarina vaz” is the name of a giant Kolyvan
vase, created in 1831-1843, according to the project of architect A. I.
Melnikov at the Kolyvan factory for the production of large decorative
objects made of hard stone. Its height with a pedestal is 257 cm, the large
diameter is 504 cm, the smaller is 322 cm, and its weight is 19 tons. "The
Queen of Vases" refers to the natural wealth of the region and its
masters of art. In this way, the past and the present of the land are
intertwined in the coat of arms, faithfulness to tradition was preserved, and
modernity was reflected. At first
it was planned that the number of windings of the tape would correspond to
the number of cities in the Altai Territory, but in the process of discussing
the bill on the eve of the session, it was decided to abandon this in order
not to complicate the symbolism. |

Sibirsky (Сиби́рский) |
Sibirsky is a closed rural locality in Altai Krai, located 44 kilometers from Barnaul, the administrative center of
the krai. Arms: Vert, in chief a poplar leaf Or, two bows in saltire Argent, their handles
and bowstrings Or, between three
arrows Argent flaming Or, two and one. Crown: A municipal / mural crown Or. The
shield is crowned with the municipal crown of dignity of the established
standard. The coat of arms can be reproduced both in the full version (with
the crown), and in the shortened version (in the form of only a shield); both
versions of the coat of arms are equal and have the same status. The
emblem is based on emblems directly related to the theme of missile forces.
Heraldry does not welcome the placement of modern weapons and mechanisms in
the coat of arms, which is why the missile troops are presented allegorically
- through arrows with flaming tails and their tips, also complemented by
flame tails. Bows are in the coat of arms not only as “launchers” for
“missile” arrows: the bow is one of the oldest heraldic emblems of Siberia
(the Kingdom of Siberia). In the coat of arms of ZATO Siberian bows are
placed hinting to the name of the
city. The
poplar leaf not so much indicates that the city has enormous green areas:
this poplar leaf directly refers to the name of the missile system that is
operational today. The poplar leaf symbolizes the past, present and future of
the missile forces, with which the fate of the Siberian closed administrative
district is inextricably linked. Green and gold are the historical colors of
Siberia. Source -
