The old coat of arms of Pskov (28/05/1781) has been officially approved at
13/11/1992 by Pskov’s City Soviet of People’s deputies.

In the 1899 book Gerby Rossiyskoi Imperii
[ppw99] and there it was: Full
description of the arms, which feature a snow leopard
(in Russian, bars’).

At their 27th sitting, on the 25th December 2018, the members of the Pskov
Oblast Assembly approved official symbols for the Oblast and voted in favour of
laws "On the Coat of Arms of the Pskov Oblast" and "On the Flag of the Pskov
Oblast". The Pskov Oblast was so far the only Russian federal subject lacking
its own flag. Furthermore, the arms of the Oblast, adopted in 1995, were not
included in the State Heraldic Register of the Russian Federation.
The
initiative to adopt these symbols came from regional governor Mikhail Vedernikov,
reestablishing the Heraldic Council of the Pskov Oblast Administration. They
were tasked with designing the symbols for the Oblast and these new design are
the results of their labour. The laws on the symbols contains both detailed
descriptions and instructions on the symbols' use. They will come into force
after they are approved by the governor, ten days after their official
publication.
