The history and heraldry of the family name Korotky appears in the Obschii Gerbobnik Dvorianskikh Rodov Vserossiiskoi (Russian Heraldry and Nobility), a magnificent book of heraldry and history of Russian noble family names, such as name Korotky, translated to English. This work was published by the Russian government in series from the year 1797 to 1840 and contains 2,198 surnames with its history and heraldic shield, among which is the family name Korotky. 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 Korotky.

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) OR (Gold): Nobility, Magnanimity, Wealth, Power, Light, Constancy and Wisdom.

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

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

* NETTLE: The Nettle symbolizes Affliction.

* GRAPE: The Grapes symbolizes Liberality, felicity, and peace; also, association with wine-making.

* PEACOCK: The Peacock, by its head denotes Prudence; for his chest, of gold and sapphire, Loyalty, Fidelity and Zeal; in the hidden and submissive of his steps, Secret, and in the terribly out of tune voice of his singing, Terror of enemies.

* 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.

* 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.

* YOKE: The Yoke symbolizes Unity.

* TURTLE: The Turtle is one of the most noble figures, being a symbol of the Knight who retires late from combat, facing his enemy until the last moment, trusting in his own strength.

* LEOPARD: The Leopard represents the Courageous and Endeavoring Knight who has carried out some daring enterprise using cunning rather than force to complete it.
