HymnRepublic of Sakha (Yakutia)
(words by S.I. Tarasov, M.E. Timofeev, translation by V.N. Fedorov)

Yakutia, you are the light of dawn
You call us all to goodness and happiness,
You're burning with a diamond rainbow
And you lead us to future victories.

Chorus:
Bloom and grow stronger, native land,
Grow and be famous, Yakutia.
You are the beauty and pride of Russia throughout,
There is no one more free and generous than you.

Our Lena flows freely,
Full of living water to the brim.
She brings harmony and strength,
She gives peace to all nations.

The word "coat of arms" came to us from the German language. It means heritage, something passed down from generation to generation and, in the end, firmly connected with a person, clan or country.

The coat of arms of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is associated with the 6-8th century AD. In its center is a laconic and, in its own way, elegant horseman - from an ancient rock carving discovered back in 1745 near the village of Shishkino on the banks of the Lena River.

It is believed that the Pisanets, which is the name given to the drawings, were left by the ancestors Yakuts - Kurykans, who inhabited these lands since ancient times, but were subsequently forced out by stronger neighbors. The rider holds a banner in his hands - a symbol of the unity of the tribes and their power. “All Asian peoples,” noted the researcher of Shishkin’s writings, academician Alexey Okladnikov, - the banner had the meaning of a sacred talisman, a “fetish” of a tribal association, around which all members of a given ethnic group were concentrated.”

The rider's silhouette is made in bright red. On the one hand, the correspondence with the original is preserved, on the other hand, in heraldic symbolism this tone denotes courage, bravery and readiness to resist any enemy. The three braids of the banner represent the unity of all the peoples inhabiting the republic.

The horseman is depicted on a traditional Eastern round shield. He gallops against the background of a silver (prosperity and abundance) solar disk, framed by a wide blue stripe (loyalty, reliability, sincerity, as well as an abundance of water resources). Along it there is a white inscription (purity and peaceful aspirations) with the name of the republic in Russian and Yakut languages.

Above the head of the ancient horseman is a diamond-shaped ornament, not only traditional for the northern peoples, but also reminiscent of diamond crystals - another symbol of Yakutia. There are exactly 7 crystals, as well as the peoples inhabiting the region: Russians, Yakuts, Evenks, Evens, Chukchi, Dolgans and Yukaghirs.

The current coat of arms is not the first in the history of the republic. The very first one was legalized by Emperor Alexander II back in 1878. This is how the coat of arms of the Yakut region of the Russian Empire was officially described at that time: “ In a silver shield there is a black eagle holding a scarlet sable in its claws. The shield is crowned with an ancient royal crown and surrounded by golden oak leaves connected by the Alexander ribbon«. ( On such a scarlet ribbon they wore the Order of St. Alexander Nevsky - Approx. Ed.).

In 1922, the republic acquired the coat of arms of the Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. It was almost identical to its RSFSR rowing, with the only difference being that the words “YASSR” and “Workers of all countries unite” were written on it in Russian and Yakut languages.

It took 2 years to create the current symbol. At first, numerous authors proposed to perpetuate the natural wealth and climatic features of the region: diamonds, coal, forest, polar bear, deer, sable, northern lights and even mammoth. Then the attributes of folklore, ancient customs and beliefs were used: the tree of life Aal Luuk Mas, solar gods taking the form of an eagle or deer, a shaman’s drum.

But after much debate, the current symbol was approved in December 1992, which, in the opinion of many, most fully reflects the historical and philosophical values ​​of the largest constituent entity of our Russian Federation.

Not every republic of the Russian Federation can boast of such beautiful and unusual state symbols. Flag and coat of arms - Yakutia has an ancient history of the origin of these symbols. They identify the friendship and unity of the peoples living on its territory.

Coat of arms (Yakutia): interpretation

The symbol of Sakha autonomy has a round shape, in the central part of which a horseman is depicted with a flag in his hand. This designates the disk of the sun, that is, a shield framed at the edges by an unusual edging consisting of 7 diamond-crystals. This design of the region is typical, as it is a traditional national ornament of the Sakha peoples. The number “7” is symbolic, because the coat of arms contains all the nationalities living in the republic in the form of crystals. These include:

• Russians;
• Yakuts;
• Chukchi;
• Evenks;
• Yukaghirs;
• Evens;
• Dolgans.

Description of the coat of arms

7 crystal-shaped rhombuses represent the most valuable human qualities. “Coat of arms of Yakutia” is unity among themselves. The name “Sakha Respublikata” and “Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)” is inscribed along the edge of the coat of arms.

The central figure of the state emblem is a horseman, which originates from ancient rock paintings or, as they are also called, pisanitsa, discovered near the small village of Shishkino near the city of Verkholensk on the banks of the Lena River. The drawings were found by scientists of the Russian Academy of Sciences participating in the expedition in 1545. The writings depict the great-grandfathers of the Yakuts - the Kurumchin people, who were engaged in cattle breeding and were expelled from the Baikal region by strong neighboring enemies. The horseman holding a flag with three “tails” is symbolic and personifies the unity of the tribes into one people - the Kurumchi people. The banner combines two concepts - power and guarantee of the existence of the tribe as a single whole. The coat of arms and flag of Yakutia are symbols of the cohesion and friendliness of the peoples living on its territory.

Color design of the coat of arms

The sun (shield) is designed in a light silver color, the silhouette of the rider is dark cherry. Small details of the coat of arms are made in the following colors: the edging is dark blue, and the ornament is snow-white. The chosen palette of these colors is not random; each shade has a specific meaning. Thus, silver and white indicate the purity of a person’s thoughts and actions, scarlet is interpreted as life, blue symbolizes devotion, sincerity and reliability. Therefore, the coat of arms is highly valued and revered by the indigenous people; Yakutia is inhabited by very friendly and hospitable people.

Also unique and original is the national Sakha, which has a rectangular shape on which there are horizontal stripes and a white circle of unequal width and color. The banner repeats the color scheme of the Russian flag, but with some differences. Thus, a white stripe with a white circle against a blue sky characterizes the harsh and cold beauty of the North. It is not for nothing that the Yakuts are called “children of the white sun.”

An excerpt characterizing the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Sakha

“Forgive me, Anna... I can’t help you,” Sever said sadly.
- But why?!! Don’t you regret that we will die?.. Why, North?!..
- Because I DO NOT KNOW how to help you... I don’t know how to destroy Karaffa. I don't have the right "weapons" to get rid of him.
Still not wanting to believe, Anna very persistently continued to ask.
– Who knows how to overcome it? Someone should know this! He's not the strongest! Even grandfather Isten is much stronger than him! After all, really, North?
It was funny to hear how she easily called such a person grandfather... Anna perceived them as her faithful and kind family. A family in which everyone cares about each other... And where another life in it is valuable for everyone. But, unfortunately, they were not exactly such a family... The Magi had a different, separate life. And Anna still didn’t understand this.
“The Master knows this, dear.” Only he can help you.
– But if this is so, then how come he hasn’t helped until now?! Mom was already there, wasn't she? Why didn't he help?
- Forgive me, Anna, I can’t answer you. I don't know...
At this point I couldn’t keep silent any longer!
– But you explained it to me, Sever! What has changed since then?..
- Probably me, my friend. I think it was you who changed something in me. Go to the Lord, Isidora. He is your only hope. Go before it's too late.
I didn’t answer him. And what could I say?.. That I don’t believe in the help of the White Magus? I don’t believe he’ll make an exception for us? But this is exactly what was true! And that’s why I didn’t want to go to bow to him. Perhaps it was selfish to do this, perhaps it was unwise, but I could not help myself. I no longer wanted to ask for help from my father, who had once betrayed his beloved son... I did not understand him, and I completely disagreed with him. After all, he COULD have saved Radomir. But I didn’t want to... I would give a lot in the world for the opportunity to save my sweet, brave girl. But, unfortunately, I did not have such an opportunity... Even if they kept the most precious thing (KNOWLEDGE), the Magi still did not have the right to harden their hearts to such an extent as to forget simple philanthropy! To destroy compassion in yourself. They turned themselves into cold, soulless “librarians” who sacredly guarded their library. Only now the question was, did they remember, having closed themselves in their proud silence, FOR WHOM this library was once intended?.. Did they remember that our Great Ancestors left their KNOWLEDGE so that it would help them someday? grandchildren to save our beautiful Earth?.. Who gave the White Magus the right to unilaterally decide when exactly the hour would come that they would finally open the doors wide? For some reason, it always seemed to me that those whom our ancestors called Gods would not allow their best sons and daughters to die just because the “right” time was not yet on the threshold! For if the blacks slaughter all the enlightened ones, then no one will understand even the best library...
Anna watched me carefully, apparently hearing my sad thoughts, and in her kind, radiant eyes there was an adult, stern understanding.
“We won’t go to him, mommy.” “We’ll try it ourselves,” my brave girl said, smiling tenderly. – We still have some time left, right?
North looked at Anna in surprise, but, seeing her determination, did not say a word.
And Anna was already looking around in admiration, only now noticing what wealth surrounded her in this marvelous treasury of Caraffa.
- Oh, what is this?! Is this really the Pope's library?.. And could you come here often, Mommy?
- No, my dear. Just a few times. I wanted to learn about wonderful people, and for some reason the Pope allowed me to do this.
– Do you mean Qatar? – Anna asked calmly. “They knew a lot, didn’t they?” And yet they failed to survive. The earth has always been very cruel... Why is that, mom?
– It is not the Earth that is cruel, my sun. These are people. And how do you know about Qatar? I never taught you about them, did I?
A “pink” embarrassment immediately flared up on Anna’s pale cheeks...
- Oh, forgive me, please! I just “heard” what you were talking about, and it became very interesting to me! So I listened. I'm sorry, there was nothing personal in it, so I decided that you wouldn't be offended...
- Surely! But why do you need such pain? What the Pope gives us is enough for us, isn’t it?
– I want to be strong, mom! I want not to be afraid of him, just as the Kathars were not afraid of their killers. I want you not to be ashamed of me! – Anna said, raising her head proudly.
Every day I was more and more amazed at the strength of spirit of my young daughter!.. Where did she get so much courage to resist Caraffa himself?.. What moved her proud, warm heart?
– Do you want to see anything else? – North asked softly. “Wouldn’t it be better to leave you two alone for a while?”
– Oh, please, Sever, tell us more about Magdalene!.. And tell us how Radomir died? – Anna asked enthusiastically. And then, suddenly coming to her senses, she turned to me: “You don’t mind, do you, Mom?”
