Initially, they became Okhotsk Yasachnaya jail based Russian pervoprohodtsami in 1665 to collect taxes from the locals. The role of this small settlement in those years was huge. From here take the course in a variety of points of the Pacific constructed here with boats of Russian weapons rather uncomplicated . Otsyuda great Vitus Bering his famous expedition went in search of the legendary America. In October 1790 Okhotsk received its coat of arms . In its upper part was the emblem of Irkutsk , the capital of Eastern Siberia — running tiger with a sable in his mouth, and at the bottom were placed on a blue background with two crossed anchors Standard — a symbol of the seaport. As you can see , the elements of the coat of arms were used and in the symbolism of Vladivostok.The function of the main city in the Pacific moved to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky .
