Coat of arms
Dmitriev's Coat of Arms was confirmed and took into force on 8 January 1780. The author of the symbol is the president of the heraldic office Volkov. The Coat of Arms is visually attractive and has a lot of symbolic meaning related to Dmitriev's history and beautiful nature.
On the top of the symbol, you can see Coat of Arms of Kursk, showing administrative belongings of the town. The bottom symbolises Dmitriev's geographical position on hills. The town is located on five hills which you can see on the municipal arms.
During the heraldic reform in 1860, it was an attempt to change the Dmitriev Coat of Arms. Proposed changes were submitted by B.Kene.

The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q72360. VIAF identifies the subject as 237445565. Authority coordinates are 52.129, 35.076. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
