Гербы городов Российской Федерации Russian Civic Heraldry KLIN (Клин) Rayon: Klin Province (Oblast): Moscow Origin/meaning: The history of the arms of Klin is rather complicated. The above image is the arms as used presently. I have no idea when these arms were granted/adopted. Klin received arms in 1781, at the same time as most other Russian cities at the time. The arms showed the arms of Moscow province; St. George killing a dragon. The lower half shows a horseman for the Klin region itself. The horseman symbolises the postman who brought the mail from Moscow to St. Petersburg via Klin. The arms of 1781 In 1883 the arms were changed and augmented, but the basic design remained the same. The arms were now crowned with a mural crown and two hammers as a symbol for industry were placed behind the shield. The arms of 1883. In the early 1990s the old arms were restored, but later replaced by the present arms. The arms from the 1990s Literature : Moscow Region town arms. Moscow, 1997. 127 p. ISBN5-255-01312-9.
