In the year 1722 the Emperor Peter I the Great established an Official Heraldry leaded by a Master of Heraldry under the jurisdiction of the Russian Senate. The first Vice-Master of Russian heraldry was an Italian. Under the Emperor Paul (1796-1801), since 1797 and for many decades, the Russian government accepted and published all the heraldic coats of arms nad family crests accepted and recognized.

1) AZURE: Blue color that symbolizes Justice, Zeal, Truth, Loyalty, Charity and Beauty.

2) PURPLE: Justice, Wit, Truth, Greatness, Wisdom and Love; those who wear this color are obliged to defend the Prince defending ecclesiastical people.

3) SABLE: Black color that symbolizes Prudence, Sadness, Rigor, Honesty and Obedience.

* PORCUPINE: The Porcupine is a symbol of Strength against danger, because it closes in on itself and defends itself with its own weapons (quills).

* GYRON: The Gyron represents Favor.

* STAG: The Stag symbolizes Effortless Courage, which draws and recovers energy even on the most adverse occasions.

* CHEVRON: The Chevron symbolizes the boots and spurs, and for this reason it was granted as an adornment of the shield to the Knight who was wounded from the combat in his legs.

* FUSIL: The Fusil is a symbol of Righteousness, Prudence and Equity and of the conveniences achieved through these virtues; it serves as a hieroglyph for those who gathered many goods using lawful and upright means.

* ARROW: The Fess represents Readiness (for battle); if depicted with a cross, represents an affliction.
