The
Republic of Khakassia (Хакас Республиказы) or Khakasiya is a part of the
Russian Federal Republic Its capital
is Abakan. The territory
of modern Khakassia was the core of the old Yenisei Kirghiz state from the 6th century AD. In
the 13th century, following a defeat by the Mongols, the majority of the
Kyrgyz people migrated southwest to Central Asia to what now is Kyrgyzstan.
Modern Khakas people regard themselves as the descendants of those Kyrgyz who
remained in Siberia. Khakassia was incorporated into the Russian state under
Peter the Great. This incorporation was confirmed in a treaty between Russia
and China in 1729. Under
Soviet rule, autonomy was granted on 20 October 1930, when Khakas Autonomous
Oblast was established. The borders of the autonomous oblast were the same as
the borders of the modern Khakas Republic. Until
1991 the Khakas Autonomous Oblast was administratively subordinated to
Krasnoyarsk Krai. In August 1990 it was converted into the Khakass Autonomous
Socialist Republic and on 3 July 1991
it was elevated to the status of a Soviet socialist republic. On 29
January 1992 this became the Republic of Khakassia which was admitted to the
Russian Federation on 16 May 1992. |

A national emblem was adopted in
1991. It consisted of a coiled feline Scythian style, surrounded by a garland
of branches of birch. As a crest there
was a sun-emblem. The emblem was designed by
Vladimir Fedorovich Logodich and Viktor Y.
Butanaev. The emblem is: 1991 Arms: A coiled leopard, Azure. Crest: A sun-emblem Sable Garland: Branches of birch and
leaves of shamrock in base Vert. As the authors
point out the curled leopard symbolizes the eternity of life on Earth, the
inner strength of the republic of Khakassia and the continuity of the
cultures of the modern and the ancient population of Khakassia. The figure is
framed by the branches of a birch leopard, that not only is the sacred tree
in Khakassia, but also serves as a symbol of Russian nationality. This tree
symbolizes friendship between the
Khakass and Russian peoples, and the common destiny of all the peoples
of Russia. Scythian-Siberian Leopard, 6-5th cent. BC Gold, 10.9 ´9.3 cm. Origin unknown. Siberian collection of
Peter the Great, 1716. Inv. Si 1727 1/88 |

20.10. 1992 On 06.06
/20. 10.1992 the name “Khakassia” in black lettering was added in base 1993 In
1993 the sun-symbol was tinctured Or instead of Sable |
|
The
emblem was not accepted by the Heraldic Council of the Russian Federation and
was also disliked by the Khakass Parliament because it resembled too much of
an embryo. Therefore the
Council of Ministesr of Khakassia adopted the special resolution N204-n on 20.09.1996
which recommended the Supreme Council
of the republic to make a choice from two projects for a new emblem
and of amendments to the law “On the
State Emblem of the Republic of Khakassia” and to the regulation “On the State Emblem of the Republic of
Khakassia”. The new emblems
proposed were: Design 1: The State
Emblem of the Republic of Khakassia is an image of a standing snow leopard on
a blue background surrounded by golden ears with red-blue-white ribbons; at
the top of the emblem a yellow solar sign, and at the bottom on a green
background, the inscription
“Khakassia”. Design 2: The State
Emblem of the Republic of Khakassia is a picture of a standing snow leopard on a blue background
surrounded by golden circle and golden ears of corn with a ribbon in the
colors of the Russian State Flag. And, behind bars - an ancient stone statue. |
|
On the basis of
these two designs a new emblem was created which depicted a golden winged leopard
on a disk of three horizontab lue, silver and red stripes. On the upper blue
band was placed the golden Khakas solar sign, on the red band at the bottom a
Khakass floral ornament with three petals - red, silver and blue. A
blue-white-red circle around the perimeter was bordered by a thin silver ring
and surrounded by stylized golden ears of wheat on a dark blue background,
connected at the bottom with a dark blue plate with the golden
inscription "ХАКАСИЯ". These projects were not approved. The Supreme
Council of the Republic of Khakassia did not accept the proposal of the
Council of Ministers and in 1996 announced a contest between 54 artists to
create a |
|
new emblem and flag. When the competition was
closed the project of the artist Alexandra Kotozhekova was recognized as the
best. It was not discussed by the public. |
|
On 14 June 2001 a
thoroughly new emblem was adopted designed by Alexandra Kotozhekova. The
central; piece of the emblem is a kidney-shaped Amazon shield charged with a
winged snow leopard. The branches of birch were styled differently.The emblem
is: 2001 Arms: Gules, a winged
snow leopard passant Argent, spotted Sable. Crest: A Khakas
sun-symbol Or Garland:
Branches of birch, the leaves Vert, the stems Gules Motto: ХАКАСИЯ in golden lettering on a cartouche Vert The shield, the
branches and the cartouche have golden outlines and the whole is surrounded
by a golden circle. This emblem also
met with criticism of the Heraldic Council which argued that it too much
resembled the arms of Tatarstan which has also a winged leopard for charge.
This would mean then that Khakassia is a Tatar vassal. Therefore the leopard
should be removed or, at least, turn its head in a position looking at the
spectator. After some debate in parliament about the head and the tail it was
decided that the head should be turned to the spectator and the tail should
be a lion’s tail making the beast a hybrid between a leopard and a lion. Such
a design appeared in 2002. It is: |

The red Amazon shield
symbolizes the defense and protection of the Khakassian people. Its color
symbolizes nature and its life-giving powers. The winged leopard
is borrowed from ancient cave paintings in Khakassia. It commemorates the
ancestors and is a symbol of loyalty, spirituality, ideology, integrity, and
courage. According to Khakassian belief it is a representative of the highest
heavenly powers on earth and is the totemistic ancestor and patron of the
Khakassian people. The leopard looking to the spectators symbolizes
vigilance, its wings are of Khakassian ornamental style. The sun symbolizes
the universe, the sun and the stars. The four rays symbolizes the four
cardinal points. The birch branches
symbolize masculinity and femininity, representing the divine powers they
symbolize good wishes, welfare, prosperity and well-being The circle
symbolizes eternity. By Law of the Republic of Khakassia of
December 20, 2006 N 74-ZRH the word ХАКАСИЯ was
replaced by a golden Khakassian shamrock ornament. Æ See
