Heraldry
From the site of Ukrainian
Heraldry:
"The modern Coat of Arms was approved in 1999. There is or
Scythian eagle turning to the right in a gules field. The shield
is crowned with an or Trident and within or spikes entwined with
an azure ribbon with inscription - "With goods for
peoples"
Phil Nelson, 7 July 1999
From <www.gov.kr.ua>:
"The description of the Coat of Arms is confirmed in the
following way: On the red rounded shield there is a golden steppe
(Scythian) eagle, its head is turned to the right. Over the
shield there is a rectangular dark blue gonfalon with a yellow
trident, decorated with ornamental tree branches. The shield is
framed by golden spikes of wheat and oak leaves, interwoven with
a dark blue ribbon. The motto, written on the ribbon, runs:
"With the goodness to the people". In Heraldry the
picture of an eagle is a symbol of courage and generosity,
justice and understanding, power and strength. In the culture of
BC epoch the image of an eagle correlated with the sky and the
sun, in Christian symbolism it conveyed the idea of eternity of
righteous life. In both cases the eagle is an emblem of people's
spiritual life. In the coat of arms of Kirovograd Region the
golden eagle symbolizes the native land, the spiritual
renaissance of the heritage of the past. The dark blue gonfalon
with a yellow state trident points out the fact that Kirovograd
Region is a part of Ukraine. The golden spikes of wheat emphasize
the wealth of a grain – producing land, the golden oak leaves
symbolize power and fortitude. The colours used in the coat of
arms (dark blue, red (crimson), yellow (golden)) serve to show
the ancient cossak traditions and the wealth of the Ukrainian
steppe land. The yellow (golden) colour symbolizes wealth,
justice, generosity, dark blue – faithfulness, spiritual life,
crimson – power, honour, and strength."

Oblast (Region) in Ukraine .Capital: Kirovohrad (in Russian:
Kirovograd).Known formerly as Elisavetgrad before 1934 and Kirovo
in 1934-1939.
Antonio Martins, 8 July 1999
According to my atlases and geographical dictionaries, in 1924
Elisavetgrad or Yelizavetgrad was renamed Zinovievsk; renamed
Kirovo 1936; Krovograd 1939.
Jarig Bakker, 11 July 1999
Concering Elisavetgrad - "Ye" is how "e"
sounds in russian; "z" instead of "s" is
probably a translator's "liberty".
The only doubt is about when it changed from Zinovevsk to Kirovo,
whether in 1936 or 1934. Since the russian city Vyatka was
renamed to Kirov in 1934 (one of the few that kept the soviet
name after 1992), it may be that the ukrainian name change occured
to prevent confusion: either right away or two years later
