Heraldry appeared in Russia later than in Western Europe; It is generally accepted that it was copied from the west since the late seventeenth century. 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. Not all the families collaborated in the registry, so there are more weapons in Russian heraldry than those collected in this work. Yes the family of the last name collaborated Gleb.

One of the most distinctive qualities of heraldry is the use of a limited palette of colours and patterns, usually referred to as tinctures. These are divided into three categories, known as metals, colours, and furs.

Next we are going to see the meanings of three tinctures:

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

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

3) ARGENT (Silver): Purity, Integrity, Obedience, Firmness, Surveillance, Eloquence and Expiration.

Next lets look at the characteristics of some figures that we can find in heraldry and crests:

* BEZANT: The Bezants, due to its oriental significance, was adopted by most of the Knights who took part in the expedition to the Holy Land.

* HAND: The Hand symbolizes Open Generosity; if it is closed, Strength, and linked with another, Friendship.

* FIRE: The Fire is a symbol of Magnanimity, Burning and Promptness in performances or intellectual tasks.

* THISTLE: The Thistle symbolizes in Heraldry a heart nobly humble, but so careful of its honor, that it defends with its sword the luster of its lineage.

* CASTLE: The Castle, due to the superiority of its strength over other buildings, denotes Greatness and Power, used to defend friends and allies, resisting the enemy invincibly.

* MERMAID: The Mermaid is a symbol of Eloquence and Seduction.

* FLEUR-DE-LIS: The Fleur-de-lis represents the Generous Courage that, for received grievances, repeatedly returns benefits, and is a symbol of French heraldry.
