Derhachi urban hromada is a hromada (municipality) of Ukraine, in Kharkiv Raion of Kharkiv Oblast. The administrative center is the city of Derhachi.[1] Population: 42,823 (2022 estimate).[2]

Symbolism

Approved on December 3, 2021 at the session of the Dergachiv City Council.[5]

Coat of arms

The shield of the coat of arms uses a cross-division of the field. The tinctures (backgrounds) of the field - silver and azure - are arranged in a checkerboard pattern. On the upper azure tincture is the symbol of the border status of the Dergachiv community - a straight equilateral cross with diverging green ends and two silver crossed swords with the tips pointing upwards. On the upper silver tincture is a Ukrainian Cossack in national clothing with a pike in his right hand, turned heraldically to the right, which personifies the historical heritage of the Dergachiv region.[5]

On the lower azure tincture are five golden ears of wheat, symbolizing the agrarian potential of the Dergachiv region. The lower silver tincture contains historical symbols of local flora and fauna - a natural-colored warbler bird among reeds. On the right and left sides of the shield, the cartouche is framed by oak leaves and acorns - symbols of the wealth of green spaces of the Dergachi region.[5]

Flag

The flag of the Dergachi community has the appearance of a rectangular crimson cloth, in the center of which is the coat of arms in the form of a heraldic shield with a rounded lower part in a gold cartouche, symbolizing the wealth of the community. The cartouche is crowned with a silver city masonry crown with three teeth.[5]
