Each isolated region has its ownan individual symbolism that points to the historical past, sights and other factors that distinguish the terrain from others. The coat of arms of the Vladimir region changed slightly during the time, but the common features have been preserved since the time of the Vladimir principality.
One of the most beautiful subjects of the RussianFederation is the Vladimir region, the coat of arms of which is a French shield of red color, framing with golden oak branches and St. Andrew's ribbon. The top part of the composition is decorated with a royal crown made of precious materials.
