Legal aspects of the modern heraldry formation
Abstract
Background. The legal foundations of modern heraldry are reflected in the Constitution of the Russian Federation, in Federal Constitutional Law No. 2-FKZ of December 25, 2000 “On the State Emblem of the Russian Federation”, in decrees of the President of the Russian Federation, in regulatory legal acts of subjects of the Russian Federation, legal acts of municipalities. In legislative acts, priority is given to the description of the heraldic symbol; the procedure for its official use is formulated. The purpose of the work is to analyze the legal aspects of modern heraldry formation. Materials and methods. The implementation of research tasks was achieved as a result of the analysis of legislative acts that are important for the development of heraldry, regardless of the regulation level. The methodological basis was the methods of comparative legal analysis, which allow us to compare the features and practice of introducing the basics of heraldry at different levels of regulation. Results. The legal aspects of the heraldry formation are studied, it is indicated that the main task facing modern heraldry is the creation of such a legislative framework, the development of heraldic rules and norms that will contribute to strengthening national traditions, expanding international positions, educating the future generation, and conducting a unified heraldic policy. Conclusions. The analysis of the legal aspects of the modern heraldry formation allows us to conclude that the real embodiment of the fundamental principles is inconceivable without strictly defined legal procedures. It is this vector of development that is set at all levels of regulation, and in detail, mostly in imperative forms. Heraldry is considered in the context of a unified policy in Russia to determine the parameters of regulation of a single heraldic space.
