WELCOME!

     In anticipation of our armigers` questions, I have to say that the Book does not contain any other major artwork of ours (I mean myself and Natalie) apart from those 8 pictures that are published on the Book`s double-page spread shown on our website.
     The matter is that the Russian Heraldry Society comprises by now more than 2000 (two thousand!) members. A huge number of heraldry-connected people were involved into the preparation and publication of the great Book, so we, Natalie and I, have got only a couple of pages therein, which fact is understandable.
     The Book is aimed mainly to the Russian civic coats of arms pin-badges collectors. It also displays the first thousand of personal and corporative coats of arms which were designed by the Russian College of Heraldry for the homeland armigers.
     The coats of arms that were produced apart by the International Department of CHR (since 1997 to the present day) and which arms were subsequently entered in the Special Part of the Matricula Armorum, are not represented in this Book. That is why here we would like to remind the armigers and postulants of the fact that any publication of their coat of arms is NOT a normally provided or stipulated service by the International Department of CHR, although such publication may some time be accomplished if and when an opportunity appears.
