"It was confirmed on April, 18th, 2006 by the decision #9 of
I village council session of V convocation in pursuance of
decision #230 of July, 18th, 2005 about public contest on own
symbols. Square panel is divided vertically in four fractures on
black from staff and free green fields in the ratio 1:2. In the
green field is Arhystratyg Michael in white armour and
red raincoat [cape], with a flaming sword in the right hand and
white shield in left. The authors are S.Tkachov and
V.Napytkin."

In Orthodoxy "arhistratig" (from words
"arch-" and "strategy") is an Archangel -
"leader of Heaven`s Army".
"Raincoat" is a bad translating, of course. This cloth
is not for "rain only", this long cloth without sleeves
was used by knights.

Is this the same item usually described as a
"mantling" (meaning the knight's cloak as if cut to
pieces in battle) in English blazon on a coat of arms?
Colin Dobson, 7 June 2006
When I first read the description I thought that
"raincoat" was probably a mistranslation of
"surcoat" which was the long tunic-like garment worn by
armored knights but after seeing the graphic I realized that it
is actually a "cape" they meant to describe.
I have seen the garment customarily worn by a medieval knight
referred to as "cape" "cloak" or
"mantle", but not "mantling", except in the
heraldric context. In any case, in this representation the
garment appears more Roman than Medieval to me.

From the site of Ukrainian
Heraldry:
"According to the legends, on northeast from modern village
was an old settlement Vegeriv Okip, which was destroed by the
Tatars in the second half of XV century. The survived inhabitants
of Vegeriv Okip in the beginning of the first quarter of XV
century have moved on a Mlyns'kyi Potik river coast and based new
village ("nove selo").
The first historical mention refers to July, 9th, 1463, when the
Nove Selo became the property of prince Zbaraz'kyi Vasyl'.
Inhabitants served in the Bohdan Khmel'nyts'ky army, took part in
storm of Zbaraz'kyi castle. After Andrusiv armistice in 1667,
Nove Selo remained in the Poland jurisdiction. In the end of XVII
century it became the property of gentlemen Yordans, who owned it
more than 100 years. During of ÕVI ñentury and first half of
XV²² century village was attacked and devastated by Tatars
eighteen times. In 1772 Nove Selo has departed to Austria.
According to Yosyfins'ka census of 1786 in the Nove Selo were 47
village houses, gentleman house, tavern, distillery. There
existed church elementary school."
