The City of Svobodnyy is an independent city in Amurskaya Region. Its coat of arms was adopted on 10.07.1996, and its flag on 06.04.2006.
The flag is a rectangular cloth of three horizontal stripes: the top one is
white, the middle one is yellow, and the bottom one is blue. The ratio of the
flag's width to its length is 2:3. The top horizontal stripe (1/2 the width of
the flag) is white and symbolizes the city of Svobodny. The middle horizontal
stripe (1/5 the width of the flag) is yellow and symbolizes the oldest district
of the city - Surazhevka. The bottom horizontal stripe (3/10 the width of the
flag) is blue and is separated from the middle horizontal stripe by a white wavy
belt, reminiscent of a river wave (with four crests), the width of which is 1/15
the width of the flag. The blue color symbolizes the Zeya River, on the banks of
which the city of Svobodny is located.

The coat of arms is a quadrangular heraldic shield with rounded lower
corners, pointed at the tip, in the middle of the gules (red) field of which
there is a golden torch, the staff of which is white and framed by three
parallel vertical gules (red) stripes, not touching the bases of the staff, and
below there is a horizontal stripe (1/10 of the width of the coat of arms),
which is azure (light blue) and bordered by a white wavy belt, reminiscent of a
river wave (with ten crests), accompanied at the top by a golden belt in the
form of three connected arcs, of which the middle one is higher than the outer
arcs. In each of the arcs a thin overturned rafter is inscribed."
The
city's modern coat of arms probably symbolizes the railway bridge across the
Zeya River, near which Svobodny was founded, and the presence of a test
spaceport in the city (the torch).
