general information

Heraldic description of the coat of arms of the city of Sosnovy Bor:

“In a field divided into four azure and green, there is a silver belt longitudinally divided by a narrow azure stripe (thread), at the top it is walled and jagged in accordance with the shield, at the bottom it is wavy, accompanied in each of the azure quarters of the field by a pair of silver fish in a column.

In the first green quarter there is a golden rhomboidal through octafoil, the odd leaves of which are smaller than the even ones, having a golden bezant in the middle and accompanied at the head by the same radial crown with three visible teeth and two short ones, and in the second green part - a golden castle with a green arch, o two towers with pointed roofs and with the same roof in the middle, above which there is a spire, which castle is accompanied by an abstract overturned rafters connected at the ends with two shingles.”

The coat of arms unites in symbolic images the unity and continuity of the historical past and the present on the land of the ancient principality of Izhora, on which the city of power engineers Sosnovy Bor, a border city on the maritime borders of North-West Russia, was built.

This is expressed in the fact that the main figure of the coat of arms is based on a fortress battlement - a heraldic image from the coat of arms of the Principality of Izhora (approved on March 3, 1730). The wavy silver stream is the border of the sea borders in the Baltic.

The golden “energy crown” above the symbol of the atomic nucleus means the energy of the peaceful atom and the Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant as the first-born among the giants of nuclear energy. The golden symbols of the city are a building element characteristic of the city’s layout and the children’s play complex “Andersengrad”, an architectural monument of the twentieth century as the main attraction of the city .

The colors of the coat of arms symbolize peace, purity, environmentalism, prosperity and hope.

The city's infrastructure developed in the attractive conditions of the location of the Lomonosov district. Transport connections formed by the existing, constantly developing ports of Vyborg, Primorsk, Ermilovskaya Bay, transport hubs of the Kengisep region have created promising opportunities for the “Russian Gateway to Europe”.

European transport corridor No. 9 was developed due to the favorable location of St. Petersburg (80 km).

You can get to the city by the Petersburg-Weimarn railway line (to the Kapiche station).

Design documentation has been developed for the construction of a new highway (currently the A-121 highway is heavily congested), connecting the satellite city with the main ring road of St. Petersburg. Its length will be about 50 km. The construction of a modern logistics center in the port of Ust-Luga is actively underway.
