The State Duma will prioritize the project on crosses on the coat of arms of Russia

The State Duma will consider a bill that fixes the presence of crosses in the description of the coat of arms of Russia, as a matter of priority. This was announced on November 21 by Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin.

"We will consider the initiative as a priority. The coat of arms of the Russian Federation is one of the symbols of our statehood. We must do everything to avoid distorting his image. Therefore, it is proposed to consolidate the key elements of the Russian coat of arms in the law," Volodin is quoted as saying on the website of the State Duma.

The chairman of the State Duma also sent the bill to the relevant committee on state construction and legislation. Its authors were 412 deputies led by Volodin.

There will be fewer Anglicisms and barbarisms.

The day before, the State Duma introduced a bill fixing the presence of crosses on the Russian coat of arms. It involves amendments to article 1 of the federal Constitutional Law "On the State Emblem of the Russian Federation". It is proposed to supplement the description of the coat of arms of the Russian Federation with an indication that "small crowns, a large crown and a power, which are integral elements of the State Coat of Arms of the Russian Federation, are crowned with straight equilateral four-pointed crosses with flaring ends."
