An excerpt characterizing the Coat of Arms of Greenland
“Well, how are you, strong man,” he turned to Pierre.Pierre took hold of the crossbars, pulled, and with a crash the oak frame turned out.
“Get out, otherwise they’ll think I’m holding on,” said Dolokhov.
“The Englishman is bragging... huh?... good?...” said Anatole.
“Okay,” said Pierre, looking at Dolokhov, who, taking a bottle of rum in his hands, approached the window, from which one could see the light of the sky and the morning and evening dawn merging on it.
Dolokhov, with a bottle of rum in his hand, jumped up onto the window. "Listen!"
he shouted, standing on the windowsill and turning into the room. Everyone fell silent.
- I bet (he spoke French so that an Englishman could understand him, and did not speak this language very well). I bet you fifty imperials, would you like a hundred? - he added, turning to the Englishman.
“No, fifty,” said the Englishman.
- Okay, for fifty imperials - that I will drink the entire bottle of rum without taking it from my mouth, I will drink it while sitting outside the window, right here (he bent down and showed the sloping ledge of the wall outside the window) and without holding on to anything... So? ...
“Very good,” said the Englishman.
Anatole turned to the Englishman and, taking him by the button of his tailcoat and looking down at him (the Englishman was short), began repeating to him the terms of the bet in English.
- Wait! - Dolokhov shouted, banging the bottle on the window to attract attention. - Wait, Kuragin; listen. If anyone does the same, then I pay one hundred imperials. Do you understand?
The Englishman nodded his head, making it impossible to understand whether he intended to accept this new bet or not. Anatole did not let go of the Englishman and, despite the fact that he nodded, letting him know that he understood everything, Anatole translated Dolokhov’s words to him in English. A young thin boy, a life hussar, who had lost that evening, climbed onto the window, leaned out and looked down.
“Uh!... uh!... uh!...” he said, looking out the window at the stone sidewalk.
- Attention! - Dolokhov shouted and pulled the officer from the window, who, entangled in his spurs, awkwardly jumped into the room.
Having placed the bottle on the windowsill so that it would be convenient to get it, Dolokhov carefully and quietly climbed out the window. Dropping his legs and leaning both hands on the edges of the window, he measured himself, sat down, lowered his hands, moved to the right, to the left and took out a bottle. Anatole brought two candles and put them on the windowsill, although it was already quite light. Dolokhov's back in a white shirt and his curly head were illuminated from both sides. Everyone crowded around the window. The Englishman stood in front. Pierre smiled and said nothing. One of those present, older than the others, with a frightened and angry face, suddenly moved forward and wanted to grab Dolokhov by the shirt.

An excerpt characterizing the Coat of Arms of Greenland
I still remember very well and with very great warmth those “great and mysterious” preparations: the dough, smelling of fresh yeast, rising all night in a clay pot near the stove, and in the morning turning into dozens of white circles laid out on the kitchen table and waiting for the hour of its miraculous transformation into lush, fragrant pies will already come... And the grandmother with her hands white with flour, working intently at the stove. And I also remember that impatient, but very pleasant, wait until our “thirsty” nostrils caught the first, amazingly “tasty”, subtle smells of baking pies...It was always a holiday because everyone loved her pies. And no matter who came in at that moment, there was always a place for him at the large and hospitable grandmother’s table. We always stayed up late, prolonging the pleasure at the “tea” table. And even when our “tea party” ended, no one wanted to leave, as if grandmother “baked” a piece of her good soul there along with the pies, and everyone also wanted to sit and “warm up” by her warm, cozy hearth.
Grandma truly loved to cook and whatever she made, it was always incredibly tasty. It could be Siberian dumplings, smelling so much that all our neighbors suddenly began to salivate “hungry”. Or my favorite cherry-curd cheesecakes, which literally melted in the mouth, leaving for a long time the amazing taste of warm fresh berries and milk... And even her simplest pickled mushrooms, which she fermented every year in an oak tub with currant leaves, dill and garlic, were the most delicious that I have ever eaten in my life, despite the fact that today I have traveled more than half the world and tried all sorts of delicacies that, it would seem, one could only dream of. But those unforgettable smells of grandma’s stupendously delicious “art” could never be overshadowed by any, even the most exquisitely refined foreign dish.
Flag of Greenland:
The flag was designed by Greenland native Thue Christiansen. It features two equal horizontal stripes of white (primary) and red with big disk slightly to the side of the center lift. The top half of the disk is red, the bottom half is white.
The flag features traditional Danish colors; white is symbolic of the ice and snow that covers most of the island, and red is symbolic of the sun.
Coat of arms of Greenland:
The coat of arms of Greenland is a blue shield showing a silver polar bear.
The version currently used by the Greenlandic government was designed by Greenlandic artist Jens Rosing and adopted on May 1, 1989.
The polar bear symbolizes the fauna of Greenland, and the blue represents the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans.
The polar bear on the Greenlandic coat of arms raises its left front paw, due to the traditional Inuit belief that polar bears are meant for the left hand.
National anthem:
"Nunarput Utoqqarsuanngoravit"
(Our country, who grows old like that)
The Greenland anthem was adopted back in 1916 long before autonomy. Since 1979, when self-government was granted, the government has also recognized the anthem used by the local Kalaallit people, "Nuna asiilasooq" (Land of Great Length) as a secondary anthem.
