Arms of/Герб Kropotkin

Official blazon

В пурпурном поле четыре вписанных золотых копья с кистями, сложенных попарно накрест, пространство между которыми образует пониженный зеленый Андреевский крест; вверху - выходящая из-за креста дозорная вышка того же металла

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on June 30, 2005.

The town developed around a fortress manned by Cossacks in the 19th century against the Circassians. The arms thus show a watch tower, with two Cossack spears and the purple colour of the Cossack uniforms.

The modern city is a major transportation hub, where several railway lines and motorways cross. This is reflected in the two crossed green bends which symbolise the intersection of roads.

The previous arms of the city were adopted on July 26, 1996.
