Izhevsk Coat-of-Arms has an important idea: it will live forever as it makes us aware of the past, the present and the future of our city. While people are alive, the nature is alive too. If nippers (клещи) are clenched (сжаты), rowan-tree (рябина) will be broken causing the juice to drip out. This will cause the nature and people to die. Our Coat-of-Arms has a deep idea:everyone in Izhevsk is responsible for the city’s future
