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.
