СТВОРЕННЯ ГЕРБА ПІДКАРПАТСЬКОЇ РУСІ

Abstract

The author on the basis of available sources considered the creation of the coat of arms of the Subcarpathian Rus. Three projects of the coat of arms were developed: the first (Gagatko-Tsurkanovich's party), the second (A.Voloshin's party), the third (J.Bokshay). The changed project of the Gagatko-Turcanović party by the Prague professor Gustav Friedrich became the coat of arms of the Subcarpathian Rus. He proposed the following coat of arms: the shield is divided vertically, in its right half in the blue field there are three golden belts, in the left half in the silver field there is a red bear standing on its hind legs and looking to the right. This coat of arms of the Subcarpathian Rus along with other coats of arms of the Czechoslovak Republic was adopted on March 20, 1930. The most widespread one was the middle coat of arms of Czechoslovakia, in the field of the coat of arms’ shield in its heart there is the coat of arms of the Czech Republic, the main shield is quadruped, in the upper right field there is the coat of arms of Slovakia, on the upper left one is the coat of arms of the Subcarpathian Rus, in the lower right field there is the coat of arms of Moravia, in the lower left one there is the coat of arms of Silesia. It was the right half of the shield of the coat of arms of the Subcarpathian Rus that could be taken from the coat of arms of the Mukachevo Greek Catholic Diocese. There is a lot to say about the Empress Maria-Theresa’s gift of the blue-and-yellow flag, but this fact is unconfirmed, but the donation of the newly-formed Greek Catholic Diocese is possible. This is the coat of arms written with monochrome paints on the inside of the iconostasis in the altar of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross Cathedral of the Mukachevo Greek Catholic Diocese (Uzhhorod). Let’s try to blagoon this coat of arms: in the blue field of the coat of arms’ shield there is a golden Greek-Catholic cross on a green pedestal above which there is the date «1777», on top of which near the bottom of the cross, there is a silver snake, and the upper part of the cross is crowned by the episcopal mitre supported by the silver angels . Perhaps the Duke of Rome Clement XIV was involved in the awarding of the coat of arms to the diocese. This question requires further study.
