Coat of arms of Maloyaroslavets

"In a silver field with a scarlet (red) jagged border, a black rebellious bear, holding a golden ax with its left paw on the same shoulder, a blade up on the same pole".

The coat of arms of the municipality "Maloyaroslavets" is taken as the basis for the historical coat of arms of the city of Maloyaroslavets, approved on March 10, 1777, the original description of which reads as follows:

“The ancient city of Yaroslavl, which has a bear in its coat of arms, gives a reason to this, to prescribe the same coat of arms, however, that in this world there is a bear on a silver field and the shield is surrounded by a scarlet, jagged edge.”

The rising black bear holding the ax is the basis of the coat of arms of the city ​​of Yaroslavl . The compilers of the coat of arms for Maloyaroslavets were taken into account, but with the addition of a jagged border, which heraldly speaks of the “smallness” of the city of Yaroslavl, that is, Maloyaroslavets.

Black color - symbolizes prudence, wisdom, modesty, honesty and eternity of being.

In 1859 , during the period of the heraldic reform of Köhne , a draft of the new coat of arms of Maloyaroslavets was developed ^[4] (not officially approved):
