In 1969 the city wanted to adopt new arms. The symbolism in the old arms was traditionally imperial Russian, and thus considered unsuitable. The new design showed an imaginary animal, partly stag, partly fish, symbolising the rich forests and lakes around the city. The orb represents the sun. The base of the shield showed a wavy sword, symbolising historical battles and justice. The design was introduced, but already abolished in 1970. | In 1969 the city wanted to adopt new arms.
