Heraldry:
"On 6 May 1994, the session of the village council approved
the gonfalon: a square canvas with a ratio of 1:1. In a yellow
field there is a black blackcock. The gonfalon from a staff has a
white edging with width of 1/3 of the width of the gonfalon, on
the edging there are three dark blue penta-leafed flowers of
flax."

"On the 6th of May 1994 village council session confirmed
the modern emblem: a sable heath-cock is in the or field and two
azure cinquefoil of flax above it. The heath-cock is a symbol of
the village and the flowers are the symbols of marshy scrub
(Polissia)."

"City in Volynia Oblast. The first mention refers to 1508
when king Sigizmund I gave the village in property to the princes
Sangushki. In 1548 it was given the Magdeburg Right."
Phil Nelson, 7 July 1999
My ancient encyclopedia says, under the heading
"Magdeburg", "Magdeburg became a flourishing
commercial town during the 13th century, and was an important
member of the Hanseatic League..."Magdeburg law"
(Magdeburger Recht), securing the administrative independence of
municipalities, was widely adopted." Perhaps where the
source says "was given Magdeburg right" we should
translate "received the right of civic self-government"
or something similar.
