The first project of the coat of arms was suggested in 1863 which had the following description: "There are three green bunches of grapes on the surface of the golden shield: two of them are at the top and one is at the bottom. The shield is decorated with the silver three-tormented crown and encircled with golden wheat stalks linked with Alexander's banner". The project of 1863 was not approved then, but in 2001 the City Hall took the project as a base for the city's coat of arms adopting it on September 25, 2001. In June 2024 a contest for a new coat of arms was announced by the local administration, as the previous arms was considered to be part of Russian imperial legacy.
