The Coat of Arms of Arkhangelsk
The Archangel Michael is the protector of Arkhangelsk. Thus the name (Arkhangelsk = Archangel), and the cool coat of arms shown below, where Michael is smiting a demon. Smite, Michael, smite!
Kotlas has its own coat of arms, but as a more modern city (founded in 1917), the images are decidedly more modern. "Котлас" is "Kotlas" in Cyrillic.
