Heraldry

The emblem and flag of the Shumilino region was approved by Decree of the President of Belarus of January 20, 2006.

The emblem was owned by the Grebnitskiyes.

The emblem features a Baroque shield in gold radiance of the silver figure of Archangel Mikhail. In the right hand Archangel holds a silver sword and black scales, in the left hand – a silver shield with two gold moons and an unsheathed gold sword. Under Archangel Mikhail’s feet is a lying green snake with a black tongue.
