Composition “Symbols of Russia”
Each country has official symbols: a coat of arms, a flag and a hymn. Without state symbols, it is impossible, without it there is not one significant event – be it an international forum, sports competitions or a military parade. In the symbols of the renewed Russia, the traditions of the past, the trends of the present and the hope of the future intertwined. The State Emblem of Russia depicts a two-headed eagle on a red background. On the eagle’s breast is a shield, and on the shield a rider is depicted. With a spear he pierced a terrible, huge snake. The rider is the Russian saint George the Victorious, who defeats the enemies of the Russian state.
The birth of the arms is associated with the knightly traditions and refers to the middle of the XII century. The first arms were quite simple. They painted crosses or stripes of different colors – vertical, horizontal and oblique. Soon on the arms appear the figures depicting real and fantastic animals, birds, plants. The word “coat of arms” derives from the German word, which means “inheritance.” In Russia, the coat of arms is the oldest state symbol, for the first time the double-headed eagle appeared on it under Ivan the Third in the second half of the 15th century, Russia freed herself from the Mongol-Tatar yoke and wished to give to understand to all his neighbors that the Grand Duke is not inferior in power to other rulers. The successors of the Grand Duke brought in new elements – a shield, crowns, scepter, power, rider with a spear and so on – into the image of the state arms, but they did not touch the eagle. In the summer of 1918 new symbols appeared in the State Emblem: the two-headed eagle was replaced by a red shield, on which were depicted intertwined sickle and hammer and the rising sun, to a sign of change. In 1993 it was officially fixed in the born historical coat of arms of Russia.
