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 Rostopcha.

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) GULES: Red color that symbolizes Strength, Victory, Daring and Highness.

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

* AXE: The Axe symbolizes Death caused to the enemy, and also an ax or wick to illuminate.

* WALL: The Wall represents the Noble Heart of the Knight, in which no betrayal or disloyalty can enter.

* PINE: The Pine, due to its elevation, is a symbol of Noble and enlightened Thoughts and due to its resinous nature, suitable for burning, of a Fiery Heart in avenging family outrages.

* CHAIN: The Chain generally means Captivity suffered by the defense of the King or the Homeland.

* SPARROWHAWK: The Sparrowhawk is a symbol of Cunning.

* 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.

* KEY: The Keys symbolize Fidelity and Secrecy.
