But then, over the centuries, various details were added to the figure of this fantastic bird, its appearance changed and, most importantly, the meaning of this symbol was explained in different ways. Konstantin Zhukov suggests talking about what happened to the double-headed eagle during the periods when power in Russia was in the hands of Alexei Mikhailovich, Princess Sophia and Peter I, local historian and writer Konstantin Zhukov suggests talking.
Why was the double-headed eagle crowned with three crowns? Was George the Victorious really depicted in the shield on his chest? How did Princess Sophia try to use the coat of arms of the state for her own purposes? What did Peter I put on the wings and in the paws of the double-headed eagle?
The guests of Kvartirnik will find out the answers to these and other questions.
