The emblem of the Russian Federation came from the earlier emblem of the Russian Empire, which was abolished by the Russian Revolution in 1917, and recovered in 1993 after the constitutional crisis. Although several modifications have been made since the reign of Ivan III (1462-1505), the current crest is directly derived from the original work of the middle century. This double headed eagle, with Byzantine and earlier pioneers, was founded earlier than any Russian country. The total tin met the standards of the early 15th century. [eagle's shape] can be traced back to the reign of Peter the great (1682 – 1725), although the eagle on the current coat of arms is gold rather than traditional empire black.

The two main elements of the Russian national symbol (the mounts of the two eagles and the Dragon) predate Peter the great. However, today's official description does not take the cavalry of central George as the representative of St. George, mainly to maintain the Secularity of modern Russia. However, the website of Bank of Russia shows:

Translate it on the website as:

"Obv.: in the center - relief of the victor, St. George, on horseback, killing a snake with a spear;"

The current emblem was designed by artist Yevgeny ukhnalyov; it was officially adopted on November 30, 1993. Today, the crown of each Empire represents the unity and sovereignty of Russia as a whole and its constituent republics and regions. The jewels and scepters held in Eagle's claws are the traditional symbols of sovereign power and authority. Although the Russian Federation is not a monarchy, they remain in modern Russian weapons, despite the opposition of Communists to the blue ribbon and the order of St. Andrew (in Imperial weapons). Supports three crowns and surrounds the central shield) has been removed from the current badge.

A 1993 presidential decree restored Russia's modern weapons, followed by the signing of a federal law by President Vladimir Putin on 20 December 2000.
