The shield and year 1716 signify the city’s foundation as a fortress in
1716. Two rivers, Irtysh (large) and Om’ (small), at the confluence of
which the fortress was founded, are represented by blue stripes. Stalk
of wheat indicates Omsk’s dominant agrarian role in the region. During
1940-50s, Omsk developed major oil-refining, chemical, synthetic
rubber and machine-building industries. Flask (center), tire (right)
and iron boiler? (bottom center) reflect these industrial trends. Omsk’s
Soviet Arms had standard shape.
Igor Pavlovsky, 08 May 1999
