Symbolics of Kazan
Sigil of Kazan
The modern sigil of Kazan was adopted in 2004. It represents an image on a quadrangular heraldic shield with rounded lower corners, pointed at the tip.
The sigil depicts the dragon Zilant, a mythical creature from Tatar legends. Zilant is present on the sigil of the city from time immemorial, since the XVI century (according to other data – the XVII century), as soon as Kazan became a Russian city.
The heraldic description of the image reads: “In a silver field on the green land, there is a black dragon with scarlet wings and tongue, with golden paws, claws and eyes, topped with a golden crown. The shield is crowned with a Kazan hat”.
The dragon represents a creative power, conducive to man. It possesses cosmic supernatural power, symbolizes strength, greatness, life, light, wisdom, invincibility, immortality, and eternal rebirth. An arrow-shaped tongue means impulse, speed, and focus. Earth is the keeper of life and wealth, a symbol of life. The crown is a symbol of achieving a high stage of development. Kazan hat indicates the status of Kazan as the capital of the territories and their ancient traditions.
The colors of the sigil also have a symbolic meaning. The green color is a symbol of spring, joy, hope, nature; it means wealth, prosperity, and stability. Gold is a symbol of the highest value, wealth, grandeur, constancy, strength, generosity, intelligence, intuition, and sunlight. The silver color is a symbol of perfection, nobility, purity of thoughts, and peace. The scarlet color is a symbol of courage, fearlessness, maturity, energy, vitality. The black color is a symbol of prudence, wisdom, honesty, humility, and eternity of being.
