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 Wolk.

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

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

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

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

* SEA: The Sea symbolizes a raging and wrathful spirit that does not lose, however, the limits of the obedience that it owes to its sovereign.

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

* COMET: The Comet symbolizes a Brave Courage to prevent in time, without fear, future grievances.

* WINDMILL: The Windmills and their Wheels are a symbol of Obedience, because they face the violence of the current and obey the movement that it prints.

* GRIFFIN: The Griffin, half eagle and half lion, is an emblem of Ingenuity and Greatness.

* MULBERRY: The Mulberry symbolizes Prudence and Wisdom.

* WOLF: The Wolf is a symbol of a Constant Heart that suffers the calamities of war and siege with generous spirit; but when the time comes to fight in the open field, he fiercely fights, without giving his enemy a barracks.
