What is the tryzub and why are Ukrainians tortured for wearing it?

Kyiv Independent: The golden trident isn’t just Ukraine’s coat of arms. It’s a symbol of defiance, power, and 1,000 years of statehood.

In 2022–2025, Russians beat and tortured civilians for tattoos of it.

1/ Image
The tryzub’s roots go back to the 4th–3rd millennium BC: the Trypillia culture carved trident shapes into pottery to represent air, water, and earth.

Later, in the 10th century, Prince Volodymyr the Great stamped a trident on his coins - his sign of power.

2/
Over 200 versions of the trident have been found on coins, seals, bricks, and jewelry from Kyivan Rus rulers.

Each prince adapted the shape as a personal emblem.

It disappeared for centuries - until 1917.
