	Геральдика сегодня \|\| Heraldists and Ideas in Russia: the Problem of Immigration
		Muennich’s influence on young Russian heraldry was really significant; yet in essence it was the influence not of the German heraldic traditions but that of the international culture of baroque allegories, diletantically interpreted by Muennich.
		Russian heraldry became a proper heraldry of its own by way of heraldic import and it became Russian because of the eclectic nature of this import.
		The real key to Russian heraldry is the problem of foreign influences, the problem of migrations of heraldists and their ideas.

	Coat-of-Arms of Hans von Euler-Chelpin and his son Ulf von Euler - Numericana
		(He was a longtime Swedish citizen when he received the Nobel prize, for research performed in Sweden.) Not surprisingly, he always spoke Swedish with a pronounced German accent.
		In Sweden, the open helmet (with visor) is restricted to nobility, although this seems tolerated for members of bona fide noble families that have not been introduced to the swedish House of Nobility (and are thus, technically, commoners).
		At the time, there were thus essentially no noble Swedish citizens whose family didn't have a seat in the House of Nobility.

		The word “Heraldry” is derived from the German “heer” -- a host, an army -- and “held” -- a champion.
		The term “blason,” by which the science of heraldry is denoted in French, English, Italian, and German, is probably derived from the German word “blazen” -- to blow the horn.
		This knowledge of the various devices and symbols was called Heraldry, and as the announcement was accompanied with the sound of a trumpet, it was termed “blazoning the arms.” The earliest coats of arms were fairly simple -- bars or wavy lines, a lion rampant or an eagle displayed, or an arrangement of fleurs-de-lis.
