Combat support goals. The main types of combat support. Additional types of combat support for military branches

Who are we Russians? What kind of people? How did it come about? Virtually no one knows anything about it. No wonder the Russians are called: Ivans, who do not remember kinship. Psychologists are convinced that most of the troubles modern Russia due to the fact that the consciousness of the titular nation, that is, the Russians, is, as it were, covered with a veil. Sometimes it seems that some universal demiurge clouded our reason for the time being. But the time for clearing the mind is already coming. Recently Released A new book Gennady Klimov "Russian Vedas", which tells in detail about the ancient history of Russia, archaic civilizations of Eastern Europe where, as it turned out, the evolution of mankind took place. It turned out that from school textbooks we approximately know the history of only 5 thousand years, and then with great distortions, and the history of the civilization of Russia has at least 50 thousand years, that is, 10 times more. Gennady Klimov is a professional researcher of ancient religions and epics. AT latest book there is a fragment that tells about the birth of the peoples who became the progenitors of the Slavs. Today we asked Gennady Klimov to tell about the origin of the Russian people.


- Let's discard some of the myths that haunt us from the very beginning. Russians can be considered Slavs with a certain stretch. The Slavs are one of the peoples that separated from Russia and nothing more. Say, in Voronezh, Rostov, Kharkov regions the population consists of 60 percent of the descendants of the Aryans, who later formed the Sarmatian-Scythian world. And in Novgorod. Tver, Pskov also 40 percent of the descendants of the Scandinavians. The lower Volga region is populated in a certain proportion by a people, from which the Jews emerged in two waves. Russians are a praethnos from which other peoples emerged. In the Russian language, in the Russian mentality, two codes are combined, as it were - Sarmatia, the world of female matriarchal foundations, and Scythia, the world of male sichs and Cossack hordes. Russians have a very complex archetype, which is why Russian civilization has so many problems so far. But soon the consciousness of Russian-speaking people will be cleansed, a transformation will come. That's when the true dawn of the Russian world will come. This process has already begun.
The question is often asked: where did the Russians come from? The Russians have always lived in their place in Eastern Europe, even during the glaciation and flood. The continuous history of Russia observes from a depth of 50-70 thousand years. For example, China is barely 5,000 years old. And the Egyptian pyramids were built only 4,000 years ago. But of course the Slavs played a significant role in the entosogenesis of the Russian nation. In figurative form, the ancient authors of the Aryan books have preserved for us the message of the birth of peoples. Northern Black Sea including the Slavs. It can be considered to a certain extent the ancestors of the Russian people - the Wends. Aryan ancient books tell the following.
Kadru and Vinata were sisters. Their father was Daksha - the lord of creatures. He had 13 daughters, whom he gave in marriage to the sage Kashyapa. Kadru gave birth to a thousand sons, and Vinata only two. Kadru brought a lot of eggs, but Vinata brought only two eggs. Five hundred years later, a thousand mighty snakes - nagas - hatched from Kadru's eggs. By this time, no one had yet been born to another sister, Vinata. In her impatience, Vinata broke one egg and saw her son, who was only half developed. She named him Aruna. Aryan texts contain many secrets. The name Arun means "runes of the stone Alatyr". This is a system of signs used by the priests of Valdai as secret writing. For his ugliness, the angry Arun cursed his impatient mother Vinata, and predicted her to be a slave for five hundred years. On behalf of Vinat comes Russian word"Wine" and the name of the ancient Slavic families of the Wends. This word in different time used in relation to different peoples, sometimes to all Slavs in general, also sometimes associated with vandals. During the Middle Ages, the Germans generally called all the neighboring Slavic peoples Wends (except for the Czechs and Poles, who descend from another branch of settlers from Russia): Lusatians, Lutichs, Bodrichs (who lived on the territory of modern Germany) and Pomeranians. In Germany during the Weimar Republic, a special Wendian Department still existed in the internal affairs bodies, which was engaged in work with the Slavic population of Germany. Today, to a large extent, modern Germans are the genetic descendants of the Baltic Slavs. A large number of words with the root “vend” were found in the lands of eastern Germany: vendhaus, vendberg, vendgraben (grave), windenheim (homeland), windischland (land of the Wends), etc. On the territory of modern Latvia in the XII-XIII centuries. AD inhabited by a people known as the "Vendi". It is not difficult to assume that they come from the clans that laid two sons of the matriarchal commune of Vinata, mentioned in the Aryan Vedas. The word "Russia" in Finnish and Estonian sounds, respectively, "Venaja" and "Vene". It is assumed that the Finnish and Estonian names of the Russians are also associated with the name "Venedi".
The story that has been preserved in the Aryan Vedas says that the Slavs at the beginning of time appeared in the form of the son of Vinata, who was born prematurely, but received the name Arun, which means "possessing secret knowledge." Cursing his mother (having left the matriarchal commune that gave birth to him), he said: "In five hundred years, another son will deliver you from slavery if you do not break the second egg ahead of time."
This was shortly before the start of the Trojan War. At this time, the gods and asuras were in the world. The unified Aryan empire mobilized all forces to build a giant wall that separated the north from the south. So the ancients tried to protect themselves from diseases that were approaching Russia from the south. At this time, the sisters Kadru and Vinata saw the wonderful horse Uchchaihshravas, which came out of sea ​​waters. A dispute arose between them - what color is the tail of that horse. Vinata said that she was white (as she really was). Her sister Kadru is the same - that of black. According to the condition of the dispute - the one that loses must become a slave.
At night, Kadru sent a thousand of her sons - "black kites" to hang on the tail of a white horse, and thus hide its natural color. So the insidious Kadru tricked her sister into slavery. And so the curse of the first Slavs of the Arun came true. Most likely, this is one of the tribes of the Scythians or Sarmatians, who moved to the Balkans after the Trojan War. Here the descendants of Arun began to be called Kolovyans - southern Slavs. They formed 12 Etruscan clans that created the ancient Etruscan state and Rome.
In the Russian epic, the history of the migrations of this people is preserved in the fairy tale about the kolobok. Actually, the bun is the Kolovyans. It was approximately 1200 BC. After 2200 years, some of them will return to Russia in Kyiv and Novgorod, after Moravia was conquered by the Hungarians. When they returned, they brought with them many tales and tales about their ancient history. So in Russia there was a fairy tale about a kolobok.

But this is only half of the history of the Slavs. Vinata gave birth to a gigantic eagle from the second egg. He was destined to become a naga slayer in revenge for his mother's servitude. When he was born, all living beings and the gods of Mount Alatyr themselves were in turmoil. The circumstances of the life and struggle of the giant eagle are very reminiscent of the circumstances of the history of modern Russia, although the Aryan Vedas were written several thousand years earlier. The peoples descended from the gigantic eagle Garuda are the Baltic Slavs, Germans and modern Russians. The eagle Garuda, at birth, broke the egg shell with its beak and, barely born, soared into the skies in search of prey. The place of his birth, apparently, was the river Don. In slavery, the matriarchal commune of Vineta was among the steppe nomads of the Nagas. Nagas formed numerous southern peoples.
At that time, Surya, the god of the sun, began to threaten that he would burn the world. Drought began in the steppes. Then the eagle Garuda took on his back his older brother, the one who was born prematurely, and placed him on the chariot of the Sun, so that with his body he shielded the world from the destructive rays. From then on, Vinata's eldest son became Surya's charioteer and deity of the dawn.
Apparently, the Garuda tribe, whose coat of arms was an eagle, was born 500 years after the Trojan War and after the first expedition of immigrants from Russia to the Balkans and the settlement of Sicily. That is, it was about 750 BC. It was at this time that another religious crisis occurred in Russia. At this time, a new Jerusalem temple will be built in Russia, which continues the religious reforms begun in the middle of the 2nd millennium BC by the Aryan king Melchisidek on the transition to Monotheism. In addition, the reason that prompted the huge masses of the people of Eurasia to move was the drought.
Waves of people of “free will” appear at the mouth of the Don, a naval base of the southern Varangians appears on the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov. These "people of the sea" are called Hellenes. They attack the shores of all inland seas, destroying the remnants of the Cretan-Mycenaean civilization. The dark ages are coming. The city of Panticapaeum (the modern city of Kerch) arises in the Crimea. This is a transshipment naval base, from which thousands of ships sail across the seas. At the shipyards modern city Voronezh, thousands of thousands more ships are being built from ship pines. The maritime expansion of Russia ends with the emergence of many independent cities along the banks of the Black and mediterranean seas. It was these settlers who became the nutrient medium on which the ancient culture.
And Garuda, having delivered his brother to the south, returned to Russia. Dejected, he asked his mother: "Why should I serve snakes?" And his mother Vinata told him about how she fell into slavery to her sister. Garuda then asked the snakes: "What can I do to free myself and my mother from slavery?" And the snakes said to him: “Get us amrita from the gods. Then we will deliver you from slavery.” Amrita is the drink of immortality. The concept of "amrita" in the Aryan texts corresponds to Ayurveda - the science of the laws of life. It was the creation by the priests of the foundations of ancient medicine that made it possible to begin a less safe development of the territory outside of Russia. Man is not well adapted to live far from glaciers - in southern world he is haunted by exotic diseases. After the foundation of Ayurveda was established, people began to settle southern countries. There they met people from primitive eras, who also somehow adapted to live in the south. But these were already other people, unlike the northerners. The sun changed them appearance, and their habits, worldview, ethical standards were from archaic eras. Their archetype of consciousness corresponded to eras long gone. This is how the mechanism of evolution on planet Earth works. Evolution in the south is slower than in the north.
Garuda flew north, where the gods kept the amrita. On the way, he passed the Gandhamadana mountain, where he saw his meditating father, the wise Kashyapa. On the advice of his father, Garuda got himself an elephant to eat and giant tortoise and descended on a tree to eat his prey. But the branch gave way under his weight. Garuda picked her up with his beak and saw on her a lot of tiny sages - Valakhilyas, hanging upside down. Valakhilyas - mythical sages, sixty thousand in number, each the size of a finger; in the Aryan books they are called the sons of Kratu, the sixth son of Brahma.

With a branch in its beak and with an elephant and a tortoise in its claws, Garuda flew on. When he again flew past the Gandhamadana mountain, Kashyapa said: “Beware of harming the Valakhilyas! Fear their wrath!" Kashyapa told Garuda how powerful these tiny creatures were. Then Garuda carefully lowered the Valakhilyas to the ground, and he himself flew to a mountain covered with snow, and, sitting on a glacier, ate an elephant and a tortoise. Then he continued his flight.

The father of the Valakhilyas is one of the Sapta Rishis, Kratu. From the name of this rishi (sage) comes the Russian word "mole". Why? Understand a little later. Valakhilya drink Sun rays and are the guardians of the solar chariot. In fact, their place of residence is Valdai and the Riphean mountains, the mountains of sages. They study Vedas and Shastras. One of the main features of the Valakhilyas is their purity, virtue and chastity; they are constantly praying. Elders usually live in dugouts and are indifferent to wealth. Sometimes they are called "siddhis" in books.
These are the holy hermits of Russia. They settled in the upper reaches of the Volga, Beloozerye and the shores of the White Sea. The sketes of the holy elders can be found even far on the Kola Peninsula beyond the Arctic Circle. The Mahabharata tells how the leader of the gods Indra, together with the Valakhilyas, were responsible for kindling the fire. Indra, having collected a whole mountain of firewood, laughed at the Valakhilyas, each of which was barely pulling a stalk of grass. The wise men were offended and began to pray that another leader of the gods Indra, much more powerful, would appear. Indra, learning about this, was frightened and asked for help from the sage Kashyapa. The powerful priest was able to pacify the Valakhilyas, but so that their efforts would not be in vain, he decided that Indra should be born in the form of an eagle.
Not far from my house near Tver, in 2009, the relics of St. Savvaty, an old man who lived here at the end of the 14th century AD, were opened. His relics were found on 19 August. This is very symbolic. On this day Orthodox Church celebrates the Transfiguration. This concept is a reflection of the philosophical concept of "smart doing" or the vision of the Light of Tabor. In the forest hermitages, hermit monks brought themselves to a state of religious ecstasy, which began directly, on Earth, to see the Light of Tabor and communicate directly with God.

The tradition of building hermitages in Russia has its roots in the era of Cancer (7-6 thousand years BC) - a sign addressed to the world of the soul, and maybe even more ancient times. In the 4th-2nd millennium, the era of Taurus begins - the Valakhily populate the lands that have been released again from under the glacier. 60,000 hermit monks “weave” the Vedas here, which still determine consciousness modern man. It was they who created the archetype of consciousness that underlies world culture. The Valakhilyas persisted throughout the millennia. They exist today. In relatively recent history, the Valakhilis, who in the Russian Church are called Trans-Volga elders, have become most famous. These are the monks of the Belozersky, Vologda and Tver small monasteries and forest monasteries. The external, ritual side of religion did not play any role for them. Their monasteries differed sharply in their poor, simple furnishings from rich churches. They were not afraid to tell the kings the truth. The divorce of the Russian Tsar Vasily III with his wife and new marriage he was condemned by the Volga people. In 1523, one of the Zavolzhets, hegumen Porfiry, was even imprisoned for standing up for Prince Vasily Shemyachich, who was summoned to Moscow and imprisoned, despite the oaths of the Grand Duke and Metropolitan Daniel. Nil Sorsky was at the head of the Trans-Volga elders.
Today, in the village of Savvatyevo near Tver, Father Andrei Yegorov (the archpriest was once a well-known Tver rocker) revives and builds a small monastery on the banks of the Orsha River and preserves the forest monastery of the Monk Savvaty Orshinsky, a hermit who, according to legend, came to Russian soil together with Metropolitan Cyprian, and who brought the teachings of the Hesychasts to Russia. It was at the end of the 14th century.
Many names of the rivers, descriptions of the climate and the starry sky in the Aryan books indicate that the famous seven wise men, who gave people all the knowledge, in whose honor the seven stars of the Ursa Major constellation shine, lived in these places along the banks of the rivers Medveditsa, Orsha, Mologa. And at the end of the 14th century, Orthodox monks settled here in sketes, the keepers of the doctrine of the Light of Tabor. Already at the beginning of the 15th century, in just a few decades, sketes and small monasteries spread from Tver to the very Arctic Ocean.
Father Andrei during our meeting was surprised at the speed with which the teaching of the Hesychasts spread throughout Russia. I think this is God's work. This is the Tabor Light of the Transfiguration - it spreads at the same speed as the Holy Fire from the Holy Sepulcher.
Many Orthodox monks settled in sketes in the very places where the rishis indicated in the Vedas lived. But there are at least 2500 years between these events. Seems like history repeats itself. The fact that the rishis from the Aryan epic and the hesychasts from relatively recent history appeared in one place on the planet is amazing fact. It seems that events not only repeat themselves, but also happen in the same place.
Valakhily and Orthodox hermit monks of the northwest of Russia and Karelia are a continuous tradition of one phenomenon. It has been here for thousands of years. I know several monks who live in the forests even today.
And while Garuda was approaching Valdai, the abode of the gods, terrible signs appeared in the sky. The wind rose, thunder roared, ominous clouds shrouded the peaks. The gods were alarmed. But they have not yet seen who is going to attack them. Then the wise Brihaspati said to them: “A mighty bird is coming here to steal the amrita. Now the prophecy of the Balakhilyas is being fulfilled.”
Hearing this, the gods, led by Indra, dressed in shining armor and armed with swords and spears, says the epic of the Aryans. Surrounding the vessel with the drink of immortality amrita, they prepared for battle. And then a huge bird appeared, sparkling like the sun. She fell upon the celestials and scattered them in different sides. Recovering from this onslaught, the gods, led by Indra, rushed to Garuda, showering him from all sides with spears, darts and war discs. The bird flew up, and attacked the gods from above, and overwhelmed many with blows of claws and beak. Unable to withstand the battle with the invincible bird, the gods retreated, and Garuda penetrated to where the amrita was kept. So the Proto-Slavs became the owners of the secret knowledge of the sages from Valdai.
Garuda grabbed the vessel of amrita and set off on his return journey.
The leader of the Valdai gods Indra rushed in pursuit and, having overtaken him in the air, dealt a terrible blow with his vajra. But Garuda did not flinch. He said to Indra: “Great is my strength, and I can carry away on my wings all this land with mountains and forests, and you along with it. If you want, be my friend. Don't worry, I won't give the amrita to the snakes. You will have her back when I free myself and my mother from slavery." Indra is, among other things, a religion that was in Russia 6-4 thousand years BC. This was the first manifestation of monotheism cults. Indra was the harbinger of the coming of Krishna. The Aryan Vedas believe that in the form of Krishna, the Almighty once again descended to earth in about 3100 BC. At the same time, Krishna, as it were, is a harbinger of the coming of Jesus Christ, and Indra, respectively, is Andrew the First-Called. The descendants of the second son of the slave Vinata brought the cult of monotheism to the south of Russia. Along with the new religion, new knowledge of hygiene and healing methods spread, which made it possible to move further south.
Hearing these words, Indra said, “I accept your friendship, O mighty one. Demand whatever gift you want from me!” And Garuda said: "Let snakes be my food." From that time on, snakes are doomed to be food for Garuda and his offspring, the suparna birds. Since then, Russia has been absorbing many immigrants from the south and melting them down into the Russian ethnic group.

Garuda and his mother Vinata were freed from slavery. But in the meantime, Indra took the amrita and took it back to Valdai, to his kingdom. The snakes did not get the drink of immortality. Then they began to lick the kusha grass, on which stood a vessel with amrita. And the kusha grass, which was touched by amrita, has since become a sacred grass. That is, some knowledge of ancient medicine nevertheless fell into the environment of nomads - and this saved them in the process of evolution.
The great eagle Garuda - a solar bird - is one of the most popular images of Aryan mythology. In ancient books, the Most High (Vishnu) is often depicted flying in the sky riding on the eagle Garuda. That is, the northern Slavs were the force that in ancient times spread the faith in the one God around the world. Hence the expression among the Russians - God is with us!

The story of Gennady Klimov was recorded by Marina Gavrishenko

Slavs are one of the indigenous inhabitants of Eastern Europe, but they are divided into three large groups: eastern, western and southern, each of these communities has similar features of culture and language.

And the Russian people - part of this large community - came from along with the Ukrainians and Belarusians. So why the Russians were called Russians, how and under what conditions this happened. We will try to find answers to these questions in this article.

Primary ethnogenesis

So, let's make a journey into the depths of history, or rather, at the moment when this IV-III millennium BC begins to take shape.

It was then that the ethnic demarcation of the European peoples took place. The Slavic mass stands out from the general environment. It was also not homogeneous, despite the similarity of languages, otherwise the Slavic peoples are quite different, this applies even to the anthropological type.

This is not surprising, since they mixed with different tribes, such a result was obtained with a common origin.

Initially, the Slavs and their language occupied a very limited territory. According to scientists, it was localized in the region of the middle reaches of the Danube, only later did the Slavs settle in the regions of modern Poland and Ukraine. Belarus and southern Russia.

Range expansion

The further expansion of the Slavs gives us an answer to the origin. In the 4th-3rd centuries BC, the Slavic masses are shifting towards central Europe and occupy the Oder and Elbe basins.

At this stage, it is still impossible to speak of any clear distinction within the Slavic population. The greatest changes in the ethnic and territorial demarcation are made by the Hun invasion. Already by the fifth century AD, the Slavs appeared in the forest-steppes of modern Ukraine and to the south in the Don region.

Here they successfully assimilate the few Iranian tribes and establish settlements, one of which is Kyiv. However, numerous toponyms and hydronyms remain from the former owners of the lands, which led to the conclusion that the Slavs appeared in these places around the above period.

At this moment, there is a rapid growth of the Slavic population, which led to the emergence of a large inter-tribal association - the Antsky Union, it is from its midst that the Russians appear. The history of the origin of this people is closely connected with the first prototype of the state.

The first mention of Russian

From the fifth to the eighth century, there is a continuous struggle between the Eastern Slavs and nomadic tribes, however, despite the enmity, these peoples will be forced to coexist in the future.

By this period, the Slavs had formed 15 large inter-tribal unions, the most developed of which were the glade and the Slavs who lived in the area of ​​Lake Ilmen. The strengthening of the Slavs led to the fact that they appear in the possessions of Byzantium, it is from there that the first information about the Russians and dews comes.

That is why the Russians were called Russians, this is a derivative of the ethnonym that the Byzantines and other peoples around them gave them. There were other names close in transcription - Rusyns, Rus.

During this chronological period, an active process of formation of statehood was going on, moreover, there were two centers of this process - one in Kyiv, the other in Novgorod. But both bore the same name - Russia.

Why are Russians called Russians

So why did the ethnonym "Russians" appear both in the Dnieper region and in the northwest? After the great migration of peoples, the Slavs occupied vast areas of the Center and East of Europe.

Among these numerous tribes there are the names of Russ, Ruthenians, Rutens, Rugs. Suffice it to recall that Rusyn has survived to our time. But why this particular word?

The answer is very simple, in the language of the Slavs the word "fair-haired" meant fair-haired or just light-haired, and the Slavs, according to the anthropological type, looked exactly like that. A group of Slavs who originally lived on the Danube, when moving to the Dnieper banks, also brought this name.

From there the terminology and the origin of "Russian" originate, the Russians turn into Russians over time. This part of the Eastern Slavs settles in the area of ​​modern Kyiv and adjacent territories. And they bring this name here, and since they have settled here, the ethnonym has also settled down, over time it has only slightly changed.

The emergence of Russian statehood

Another part of the Russians occupied lands along the southern coast Baltic Sea, here they drove the Germans and the Balts to the west, and they themselves gradually moved to the north-west, this group of Eastern Slavs already had princes and a squad.

And practically stood one step away from the creation of the state. Although there is a version about the northern European origin of the term "Rus" and it is connected with the Norman theory, according to which the Varangians brought statehood to the Slavs, this term denoted the inhabitants of Scandinavia, but there is no evidence for this.

The Baltic Slavs moved to the area of ​​Lake Ilmen, and from there to the east. Therefore, by the ninth century, two Slavic centers bear the name of Rus, and they are destined to become rivals in the struggle for dominance, this is what gives the new people their origin. A Russian person is a concept that originally denoted all the Eastern Slavs who occupied the territories of modern Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.

The history of the Russian people at its very beginning

As mentioned above, a sharp rivalry arises between Kyiv and Novgorod at the end of the ninth century. The reason for this was the acceleration of socio-economic development and the need to create a single state.

In this battle, the northerners won. In 882, Prince Oleg of Novgorod gathered a large army and went on a campaign against Kyiv, but he failed to take the city by force. Then he went to the trick and passed off his boats as a merchant caravan, taking advantage of the effect of surprise, he killed the Kyiv princes and took the Kyiv throne, declaring himself the Grand Duke.

This is how the ancient Russian state appears with a single supreme ruler, taxes, a squad and a judicial system. And Oleg becomes the founder of those who ruled in Russia-Russia until the 16th century.

It was then that the history of our country and its largest nation. The fact is that the Russians, the history of the origin of this people, are inextricably linked with the Ukrainians and Belarusians, who are the closest ethnic relatives. And only in the post-Mongolian period, the fragmentation of a single basis was indicated, as a result of which new ethnonyms (Ukrainians and Belarusians) appeared, characterizing the new state of affairs. Now it is clear why the Russians were called Russians.

How many Russians live on Earth?
No - not Russians, not Russian speakers - namely Russians?
Representatives of the very people who are the essence of Great Russia.
A people who rallied around themselves Europeans and Asians, Caucasians and Finno-Ugric peoples with great power, who jointly defeated the Third German Empire, discovered the secrets of the peaceful use of atomic energy and made the first flights into space.

A people free to change their rulers, always rebellious, dissenting, but loving their Motherland so much.
How many more Russians are left in Russia after decades of desecration by a white-blue-red demon greedy for profit?

Russians are an ethnic community of people represented by the Russian nation. Since ancient times, the Russians had their own nation state- Rus. Which later in the Byzantine way began to be called Russia. The majority of Russians by religion are Orthodox Christians.

Ethnically Russians belong to the Indo-Europeans, namely to Eastern Slavs. The closest peoples for Russians are Belarusians and Ukrainians, but not only - Slovenes and Serbs are also close in language and culture. The Russian nation is not so ancient. The self-name "Russian" appeared only in the 14th century and meant "sovereign man". Of course, before that there was Russia, but Novgorodians, Suzdalians, Chernigovians, Polonians and other Slavs lived in it. There was no name of the people, no single Russian nation. If earlier foreigners said “Rus”, then it was understood that this person belongs to the Russian princely squad or army, military or commercial Russian expedition. The population of ancient Russia generally called itself "Slavs" or specifically "Kiev", "Novgorod", "Smolensk", etc.

The Russian is a conqueror of spaces, forever searching, rushing to nature, to freedom. Only among Russians "nature" and "will" are synonymous. “Free! To space! To the new happy life!" The Russian needs change. No change for Russian clear sign stagnation. By the way, freedom and freedom are also synonymous for Russians. As such, the Russian does not need freedom. And it's not the notorious totalitarian consciousness. Totalitarian consciousness is just an ideologeme. For a Russian, this consciousness does not exist at all. And most importantly, to have a spacious soul and freedom. No fences, no restrictions - that's all freedom.

Russian people do not like and are afraid of the state. For the Russian, the state is more evil than good. The Russian does not cooperate with the state. Once in the power structures, the Russian does everything either for evil or for his own salvation. The Russian does not serve the state, but serves his people or higher authorities. Having lost leadership, the Russian is ready to break the state apparatus, because it is of no value to him.

The Russian seeks protection from God. God for the Russian is not love at all, as the Greeks bequeathed, but the highest justice. And although such an understanding of God is characteristic of Muslims, Russians are Orthodox. A Russian communicates with God like with a father. We ask for his forgiveness and help. The father is strict, but there is a kind mother - the Mother of God. She has special reverence and heartfelt love.

The Russian is an unwilling collectivist. He doesn't want to be like that, but he has to. Left alone, imagining himself as an individual, the center of the universe, he still speaks to himself as to a people. In the collective, the Russian is looking for an excuse for himself. From the team, he expects his share, and not having received it goes to the dressing. Deprivation and loneliness are synonymous with the collapse of the Russian soul. A Russian always expects that a person, a people or a collective, will understand and support him, if not now, but in the future.

Work for a Russian person should be a joy. Otherwise, the work does not argue. It's not work, it's violence. If work does not bring emotional joy to the Russian, then there will be no outstanding results. Russian loves recklessness in work. For him, work is almost like a feat of arms. The optimal organization of labor for a Russian is a game, a dashing undertaking. A Russian can rest against something for a long time, but he is hardworking only when he is passionate about an idea and in his soul there is an expectation of joy from the result. The result itself is not so encouraging. The Russian lives by the ideas embodied in labor, and not by the product of labor.

The Russian is not strongly attached to the family. Only his own hardships or the hardships of loved ones make him stay in his father's house. Each Russian sees his own path and does not associate it with his family. Family and social values ​​for a Russian always lose out to the values ​​of a group created for a specific purpose. For example, to be a master, an ally, a pioneer, in the end to go mushrooming with girlfriends, that is, to have your share in common cause- always more interesting than being the head of the family.

Of course it's not Full description topos of a Russian person and Russian society, and you can add something else to it, but for self-identification, I personally would suggest only three questions:

Russian is your native language?
Do you consider yourself a Russian people?
Do you consider the history of Russia the history of your people?

If you confidently answered “yes” to all three questions, you are a Russian person, even if you are an Arap.

The Russian language, of course, is a determining factor in national self-identification. With the help of the Russian language, spiritual communication and cultural exchange are carried out. Without mastering the Russian language, assimilation is not possible, as the highest act of unity with the Russian people. However, one Russian language is not enough. A culture of speech is also needed. Having mastered the Russian language (mostly achieved by the age of 3) and the culture of speech (in a cultural environment it is achieved by the age of 9), having come into contact with Russian spiritual culture, recognizing Russian people in our ancestors, we become Russian. Baptized or not, with blond or dark hair, with a Caucasian hump on the nose or with slanted eyes, but still Russian. In order to classify ourselves among the Russian people, one more question remains to be answered: do we empathize with the history of Russia? WE - living in Simferopol, New York or Karaganda. Is the history of Russia the history of my people? If Russian history is indifferent to a person, or if he is more interested in the history of the Crimean Khanate, then let him call himself a Russian three times, but he will not become Russian.

In this sense, we are very lucky with the USSR. There was a huge free country. She didn't even have state language. All languages ​​were recognized as equal, and Russian was used only for interethnic communication. When you watch the chronicles of the speeches of people's deputies, it is surprising that they speak Russian, Belarusian, Kazakh, Ukrainian, and are often dressed as is customary among their people. Many without the European noose tie. But the most important thing is that now they are connected by a common history, a common historical self-consciousness. Russians living in Kazakhstan continue to be Russians. The Ukrainian city of Sevastopol continues to be Russian. This is the greatness of the Russian people. All "... rallied forever Great Russia!".

Peoples can address each other in any language, but Russian is more often used for communication. Does this have anything to do with the Russian people? I think so, because with the collapse of the USSR, a large part of the Russian people remained there, outside the Russian state. But due to this resettlement, due to interethnic contacts, the growth of the Russian people was achieved. But, as we will see later, in Russia itself at that time the Russian population was also growing, including in the Russian hinterland. In the meantime, let's talk a little about the fate of the Russian language and the role of education.

The Russian language has been recognized by the UN as an international language. It was spoken by the fourth most populous country in the world. And now among Europeans, most of all people speak Russian. But over time, these positions will be lost. This is connected both with the extinction of Russian culture and the decrepitude of the Russian state. To characterize the Russian people, it is extremely interesting to see what kind of Russian words they found worldwide recognition, were borrowed from the Russian language for general use. Behind these words are the unequivocal achievements of the Russian spirit, which struck the rest of the world so much and were so original that either the foreigners could not find words, or the impression of the Russianness of this word was amazing. Worldwide accepted Russian words are:

tsar,
vodka,
country house,
pogrom,
satellite,
steppe,
perestroika.
Here it is the contribution of the Russian people to world culture.

Everything is in the palm of your hand.

So, to become Russian, you need to master the Russian language. Mastering the Russian language is given through education. And public education, in my opinion, is the main function of the modern state. Military power, religious culture - all this will collapse without public education, as the empires of the Mongols collapsed, as Byzantium collapsed. And it is extremely important what will be taught to our children - a set of Greek archaisms and verbiage of Eastern sages, or national pride and participation in the history of their country. The Slavic world in the Middle Ages was huge. The Slavs understood each other. The disunity brought by the instruments of power - the state, religion, law, led to the loss of brotherhood, to ignorance and illiteracy. The reason for this was the Tatar-Mongol yoke, and the death of Holy Russia, desecrated by the Josephites and feudal landowners. The collapse of the imperial religion in 1918 is indicative in this sense.

Religious officialdom collapsed, but faith remained! The people, having no worthy preachers, but only walkers in the royal chambers and provocateurs, obediently wandered into a bright future, saying goodbye to both fat bloodsuckers and lazybones of all stripes. The state is always violence. Religion is always false. The law is always selective, selective. Objectively, the people remains, their culture, their faith, economy and heredity. If a state structure a positive effect on the population, if religion has a positive effect on the culture of the people, and the law to increase its wealth - all this is the good of the people. In modern Russia, everything has changed: religion is increasingly influencing the population, the state - on culture, and the law that draws ... It was the same in tsarist Russia. It was the same with the Soviets. Unless the law was stricter, and there was more order.

Russian nation

Today, in some media, on forums and other Internet resources, the myth that Russians, as a nation, as a people, does not exist is being discussed. They say Russians in their entire history with whom they just did not mix, before creating a kind of motley mass, consisting of representatives of various ethnic groups. The situation is presented in such a way that “normal”, pure-blooded peoples live around us, and we, Russians, are like a patchwork quilt, sewn from many colorful scraps. Supporters of the "anti-Russian theory" (let's call them that) interpret the fact and consequences of the formation of Russian people on the territory of today central Russia: they say, if the Russian people formed on the basis of the East Slavic, Baltic and Finno-Ugric tribes, and besides, they were under oppression for 300 years Tatar-Mongol yoke, then today it consists of the Balts, Finno-Ugric peoples, Tatars, Mongols and other ethnic groups ...
In fairness, it should be noted that not all people distort the facts because of their ignorance. Most (let's call them that again) supporters of the "anti-Russian theory" do this deliberately. What for? But who will understand them ... Some of envy; others out of hatred; someone pursues political goals; some people are just promoting. As they say - and the flag would be in their hands, but the trouble is - people who have never seriously thought about this issue may well believe in the myth that the Russian people do not exist.

Russian people under scrutiny

In order to understand the issue of "the existence of the Russian nation", it is enough to turn to sources that are in the public domain. In fact, we are now just retelling what was previously published in print or electronic form. Scientists - historians, ethnographers, geneticists - give us an unequivocal answer - the Russian nation IS. We suggest paying attention to two very interesting sources: the first is the book "" (authors: Doctor of Biological Sciences Elena Balanovskaya and Candidate of Biological Sciences Oleg Balanovsky), the second is the project of the Laboratory of Population Genetics of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences "". As part of a large international project"Genography" (The Genographic project), Russian scientists, authors of the sources mentioned above, conducted a comprehensive study of the Russian gene pool, the results of which clearly indicate its originality, its own history and the almost complete absence of the contribution of the Mongoloid population. Frankly speaking, it never occurred to sane people that it was necessary to prove the fact of the existence of the Russian people. Evidence is needed by those who mislead people and those who believe false arguments.

How nations were formed

Of course, in nature there cannot be "genetically pure" peoples, there are no Slavic, Tatar or French genes, because the genes are older than the Tatars, Slavs or French. We all carry the genes of the first settlers from the African continent, who left Africa about 80,000 years ago. Only about 40-45 thousand years ago in Europe there were no people of the modern anatomical type at all, only Neanderthals lived there. The formation of the peoples inhabiting Eurasia today occurred much later. All the peoples on Earth, including the Russians, were once formed in one or another territory, under the influence of many different factors: for example, they assimilated smaller ethnic groups or, conversely, were part of another people. Let us recall how the modern Russian population was formed: the Slavic tribes moved east for several centuries, colonizing the East European Plain and assimilating the local Finno-Ugric tribes. As a result, a number of features have developed that define Russians as a people, these are: a common origin, a common language, a common culture, their own territory of residence, and, very importantly, the consciousness of their unity and difference from all other similar entities. Add to this the fact that more than half (as formality requires) of the marriages of the Russian population occur within their own ethnic population.

Russian gene pool on the Russian Plain

So, as soon as marriages are made, then there are populations, and each group of people concluding at least half of the marriages within the group can be called a population. And as soon as there are populations, there are their gene pools. Peoples are also populations. And as long as these ethnic populations exist, then there are ethnic gene pools, including the Russian gene pool. It, like all others - Tatar, Mordovian, Ukrainian or French - really exists as one of the many gene pools of small and large populations (from the village to humanity), and at the same time it is connected by thousands of living historically established links with other gene pools. Concern about the “purity” of the Russian gene pool would doom it to extinction. But also concern for its merger with all the gene pools would doom it to extinction.

Thus, in defense of the fact of the existence of the Russian people are:

• Centuries-old history of the Russian people
• Russian language
• Russian culture
• The territory of residence of the Russian people
• Self-consciousness of the Russian people
• Russian gene pool

The Tatar-Mongol conquest left no trace in the Russian gene pool

Contrary to the common and popular opinion among supporters of the "anti-Russian theory" about a significant Asian "impurity", the Tatar-Mongol conquest left no trace in the Russian gene pool. This was unequivocally confirmed within the framework of the Genography project.

E.V. Balanovskaya, O.P. Balanovsky. Russian gene pool on the Russian Plain

The share of East Eurasian haplogroups in the Russian population was only 2 percent. That is a very small amount. Almost as small as in the gene pool of the Poles (1.5) or the north of Europe, where there were certainly no “Tatar-Mongolian contributions” (Norwegians 0.6, Icelanders 0.7, Karelians 4.8, and so on). The average "background" frequency of East Eurasian haplogroups in Europe is 3.6 percent. That is, in the Russian gene pool it is even less than the “average for Europe”, therefore the Mongoloid component in Russians turns out to be not just zero, but even with a negative sign. So, we do not see the consequences of the Mongol invasion in the Russian gene pool - or then we should see these consequences in the Polish, and in the Norwegian, and in the Karelian, and in other gene pools of Europe.
Whichever trait we take, we see that Russians are typical Europeans, and the Asian conquest left a mark on Russian history, but not on the Russian gene pool. The opinion about the intermediate nature of the Russian gene pool is widespread - but there is no serious scientific evidence for it. Only serious scientific rebuttals. Biologically (genetically) the Russian gene pool is not intermediate between the typical European and typical Asian gene pool. The Russian gene pool is a typical European gene pool.
The basic, main conclusion that follows from the study of the Russian gene pool is the almost complete absence of a Mongoloid contribution in it. Even when examining exceptions, one should never forget this rule.

There is no need to question the results of genetic studies, they are supported by data from related sciences. Anthropologists, linguists and ethnographers have collected information about almost all the peoples of the world. Huge amounts of information have been accumulated about the physical appearance of the Russian population (the science of somatology deals with this) and about skin patterns on the fingers and palms (dermatoglyphics, which reveals differences in different peoples). Linguistics has long been studying data on the geography of Russian dialects and on the distribution of thousands of Russian surnames (anthroponymy). One can enumerate many examples of coincidences between the results of modern genetic research and the classical studies of anthropologists, but there are no insurmountable contradictions.

As a conclusion

The conclusion is clear - Russian people exist. In our spirit, in our blood, we carry the sacred heritage of our fathers and grandfathers. We do not remember them all, leaving an endless chain of generations in the depths of centuries. But they all live in us thanks to our blood, our spirit. It is in this sense that our blood is sacred to us. Together with her, our parents give us not only flesh, but also our unique consciousness.
