Slavic swastika , its significance for us should be the subject of special attention. It is possible to confuse the fascist swastika and Slavic only with complete ignorance of history and culture. A thoughtful and attentive person knows that the swastika is not originally a "brand" of Germany from the time of fascism. Today, not all people remember the true history of this sign. And all this thanks to the world tragedy of the Great Patriotic War, thundered across the Earth under the standard of a subordinate swastika (enclosed in an inextricable circle). We need to figure out what this swastika symbol was in Slavic culture, why it is still revered, and how today we can put it into practice. We remember that Nazi swastika banned in Russia.

Archaeological excavations on the territory modern Russia and in neighboring countries confirm that the swastika is much more ancient symbol than the emergence of fascism. So, there are finds with images of a solar symbol dating back to 10,000-15,000 years before the advent of our era. Slavic culture is replete with numerous facts, confirmed by archaeologists, that our people used the swastika everywhere.

The Slavs still retained the memory of this sign, because embroidery patterns are still transmitted, as well as ready-made towels, or homespun belts and other products. In the photo - belts of the Slavs different regions and dates.

Picking up vintage photos, drawings, you can make sure that the Russians also massively used the swastika symbol. For example, the image of swastikas in laurel wreath on money, weapons, banners, sleeve chevrons of Red Army soldiers (1917-1923). The honor of the uniform and the solar symbol in the center of the symbolism were one.

But even today you can find both a straight and stylized swastika in the architecture preserved in Russia. For example, let's take only one city of St. Petersburg. Take a closer look at the mosaic on the floor St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg, or the Hermitage, to forging vignettes, molding on buildings along many streets and embankments of this city.

Slavic swastika - meaning and meaning

The Slavic swastika is an equilateral cross, the ends of which are equally bent in one direction (sometimes along the movement of the clock hands, sometimes against). On the bend, the ends on the four sides of the figure form a right angle (straight swastika), and sometimes - sharp or blunt (oblique swastika). They depicted a symbol with pointed and rounded bends of the ends.

Such symbols may mistakenly include a double, triple ("triskelion" with three rays, the symbol of Zervan - the god of space and time, fate and time among the Iranians), an eight-ray ("kolovrat" or "rotary") figure. These variations are incorrectly called swastikas. Our ancestors, the Slavs, perceived each symbol, albeit similar to something else, as a force that has its own separate purpose and function in Nature.

Our native ancestors gave the meaning to the swastika like this - the movement of forces and bodies in a spiral. If this is the sun, then the sign showed vortex flows in the heavenly body. If this is a Galaxy, the Universe, then movement was understood celestial bodies in a spiral within the system around a certain center. The center is, as a rule, "self-radiant" light (white light without a source).

Slavic swastika in other traditions and peoples

Our ancestors of the Slavic clans in ancient times, along with other peoples, revered swastika symbols not only as amulets, but also as signs that have sacred meaning. They helped people get in touch with the gods. So, in Georgia they still believe that the roundness of the corners in the swastika means nothing more than the infinity of movement in the entire Universe.

The Indian swastika is now inscribed not only on the temples of various Aryan gods, but is also used as a protective symbolism in household items. They draw this sign in front of the entrance to the dwelling, draw it on dishes, and use it in embroidery. Modern Indian fabrics are still produced with designs of rounded swastika symbols, similar to a blossoming flower.

Near India, in Tibet, Buddhists are no less respectful of the swastika, drawing it on Buddha statues. In this tradition, the swastika means that the cycle in the universe is endless. In many respects, even the whole law of the Buddha is complicated on the basis of this, as recorded in the dictionary "Buddhism", Moscow, ed. "Respublika", 1992 Back in the days of Tsarist Russia, the emperor met with Buddhist lamas, finding much in common in the wisdom and philosophy of the two cultures. Today, llamas use the swastika as a protective sign that protects against evil spirits and demons.

The Slavic and fascist swastikas differ in that the former is not included in a square, circle, or any other contour, while on the Nazi flags we observe that the figure is most often located in the center of a white circle-disk located on a red field. The Slavs never had the desire or purpose to place the sign of any God, Lord or power in a closed space.

We are talking about the so-called "subjugation" of the swastika so that it "works" for those who use it at will. It is believed that after A. Hitler drew attention to this symbol, a special witchcraft rite was performed. The motive of the ceremony was as follows - to begin to rule the whole world with the help of heavenly forces, subjugating all peoples. How true this is, the sources are silent, but on the other hand, many generations of people were able to see what can be done with the symbol and how to denigrate it and use it to their advantage.

Swastika in Slavic culture - where it is used

The swastika among the Slavic peoples is found in different signs which have their own names. In total, there are 144 species of such names today. The following variations are popular among them: Kolovrat, Charovrat, Salting, Inglia, Agni, Svaor, Ognevik, Suasti, Yarovrat, Svarga, Rasich, Svyatoch and others.

In the Christian tradition, swastikas are still used, depicting various saints on Orthodox icons. An attentive person will see such signs on mosaics, paintings, icons, or attire of a priest.

Small swastikas and double swastikas depicted on the robe of Christ Pantokrator the Almighty - a Christian fresco Sophia Cathedral Novgorod Kremlin.

Today, swastika symbols are used by those Slavs who continue to honor the horses of their ancestors and remember their Native Gods. So, on the celebration of the day of Perun the Thunderer, round dances are held around the swastika signs laid out on the ground (or inscribed) - “Fash” or “Agni”. There is also a well-known dance "Kolovrat". The magical meaning of the sign was passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, understanding Slavs today can freely wear amulets with swastika signs, use them as talismans.

The swastika in Slavic culture was perceived differently in different places in Russia. For example, on the Pechora River, the inhabitants called this sign "hare", perceiving it as a sunbeam, a ray of sunlight. But in Ryazan - "feather grass", seeing in the sign the embodiment of the elements of the wind. But the people also felt the fiery power in the sign. So, there are the names "solar wind", "flinters", "saffron milk cap" (Nizhny Novgorod region).

The concept of "swastika" was transformed into a semantic meaning - "what came from Heaven." Here are concluded: "Sva" - Heaven, Svarga Heavenly, Svarog, rune "s" - direction, "tika" - running, movement, the arrival of something. Understanding the origin of the word "Suasti" ("Swasti") helps to determine the strength of the sign. "Su" - good or beautiful, "asti" - to be, to abide. In general, we can summarize the meaning of the swastika - "Be good!".

It so happened that in the small, relatively secluded town of Rewalsar in the Himalayas, we arrived quite late, so late that it was hard for small, sleepy and lazy provincial hotels to bother with our settlement. The owners of the hotels shrugged their shoulders, shook their heads and waving their hands somewhere in the direction of the night, slammed the doors in front of our noses. But we were willingly, though not free of charge, accepted to live in a guest house on the territory of a Tibetan Buddhist monastery on the lake.

As is often the case in Tibetan places, our meeting and accommodation was handled by a Hindu, since it is unsuitable for Tibetan monks to deal with money and worldly matters. In addition, the monastery had been immersed in night darkness for more than an hour, and the monks should have had enough sleep, so that tomorrow early in the morning they should go to meditation with a cheerful and pious face. The Indian who gave us the keys to the hotel room told about this and other sorrows of the world, and in order to somehow console himself, he strongly recommended that we visit this event at seven in the morning.

The main topics are below: buses and trains, flights and visas, health and hygiene, safety, route selection, hotels, food, necessary budget. The relevance of this text is spring 2017.

Hotels

"Where will I live there?" - this question is for some reason very strong, just terribly annoying for those who have not yet traveled in India. There is no such problem. Hotels there are a dime a dozen. The main thing is to choose. Next, we are talking about inexpensive, budget hotels.

In my experience, there are three main ways to find a hotel.

Spiral

Usually you will arrive in a new city by bus or train. So around them there is almost always a great mass of hotels. Therefore, it is enough to move a little away from the place of arrival and start walking in a circle with an increasing radius to come across a lot of hotels. inscriptions "Hotel" designates a place where you can have a bite to eat in a large area of ​​India, so signboards are the main landmarks "guest house" and Lounge.

In the zones of mass idleness (Goa, the resorts of Kerala, the Himalayas), the private sector is developed, well, as we have on the Black Sea coast. There you can ask about housing from the local population and focus on the signs " Rent". In Buddhist places you can live in monasteries, in Hindu places in ashrams.

The farther you go from the bus station or railway station, the lower the prices, but hotels are becoming less and less common. So you look at several hotels of reasonable price and quality and return to the chosen one.

If you are traveling in a group, then you can send one or two people light in search of a hotel, while the rest are waiting at the station with things.

If the hotel is refused and they say that the hotel is only for Indians, then insisting on settling is practically useless.

Ask a taxi driver

For those who have a lot of luggage or are just too lazy to look. Or you want to settle near the sights, for example, at the Taj Mahal, and not at the station. Even in large cities there are places of traditional congestion of tourists: in Delhi it is Main Bazaar, in Calcutta it is Sader Street, in Bombay it is also called something, but I forgot, that is, in any case, you need to go there.

In this case, find a rickshaw or taxi driver and set the task of where you want to live, in what conditions and for what kind of money. In this case, you can sometimes be taken to the desired hotel for free, even show you several places to choose from. It is clear that the price immediately increases, it is pointless to bargain, since the taxi driver's commission is already included in the price. But sometimes, when you are too lazy or in the middle of the night, it is very convenient to use this method.

Book online

This is for those who like certainty and assurance, more comfort and less adventure.

Well, if you book in advance, then book hotels of better quality and not too cheap (at least $ 30-40 per room), because otherwise there is no guarantee that in reality everything will be as beautiful as in the photographs. They also complained to me that sometimes they came to a booked hotel, and the rooms, despite the reservation, were already occupied. The owners of the hotel were not embarrassed, they said that a client came with money, and there was not enough willpower to refuse the client with cash. The money was returned, of course, but it's still a shame.

Finding, checking in and staying in inexpensive Indian hotels can be an adventure in itself, a source of fun and sometimes not so fun memories. But then there will be something to tell at home.

Settlement technology

• Get rid of the presence of "Hindu helpers" and barkers, their presence automatically increases the cost of settling.
• Go to a hotel that seems worthy of you and ask how much it costs and decide whether it is worth living there, at the same time you have time to appreciate the interior and helpfulness.
• Be sure to ask to show the room before checking in, show dissatisfaction and indignation with all your appearance, ask to show another room, most likely it will be better. This can be done several times, achieving better placement conditions.

Those who are interested in the energy of Osho and Buddha, meditation and India, we invite you all to travel to the places where the greatest mystic of the 20th century Osho was born, lived the first years of his life and gained enlightenment! In one trip, we will combine the exotic of India, meditation, absorb the energy of Osho's places!
The tour plan also includes a visit to Varanasi, Bodhgaya and possibly Khajuraho (subject to availability of tickets)

Key Travel Locations

Kuchvada

A small village in central India, where Osho was born and lived for the first seven years, surrounded and cared for by his loving grandparents. There is still a house in Kuchvad, which has remained exactly the same as it was during Osho's lifetime. Also near the house there is a pond, on the banks of which Osho liked to sit for hours and watch the endless movement of the reeds in the wind, funny games and the flights of herons over the surface of the water. You can visit Osho's house, spend time on the banks of a pond, stroll through the village, absorb that serene spirit of rural India, which undoubtedly had an initial influence on the formation of Osho.

In Kuchvada there is a fairly large and comfortable ashram under the patronage of sannyasins from Japan, where we will live and meditate.

A small video-"emotional impression" from visiting Kuchvada and Osho's house.

Gadarwara

At the age of 7, Osho, together with his grandmother, moved to his parents in the small town of Gadarwara, where he school years. By the way, the school class where Osho studied still exists, and there is even a desk where Osho sat. You can go to this class, sit at a desk, where our beloved master spent so much time in his childhood. Unfortunately, getting into this class is a matter of chance and luck, depending on which teacher conducts classes in the class. But in any case, you can walk along the streets of Gadarvara, visit the initial and high school, the house where Osho lived, Osho's beloved river...

And most importantly, on the outskirts of the city there is a quiet, small and cozy ashram, where there is a place where, at the age of 14, Osho experienced a deep experience of death.

Video from Osho Ashram in Gadarwar

Jabalpur

Large city with over a million inhabitants. In Jabalpur, Osho studied at the university, then worked as a teacher and became a professor, but the main thing is that at the age of 21 he gained enlightenment, which happened to him in one of the parks of Jabalpur, and the tree under which this happened is still growing on old place.

In Jabalpur we will live in a quiet and comfortable ashram with a magnificent park.

From the ashram it is easy to get to the Marble Rocks - a natural wonder where Osho liked to spend time during his stay in Jabalpur.

Varanasi

Varanasi is famous for its cremation fires, which burn day and night. But it also has a surprisingly pleasant promenade, the famous Kashi Vishwanath temple, boat rides on the Ganges. Near Varanasi is the small village of Sarnath, famous for the fact that Buddha read his first sermon there, and ordinary deer were the first listeners.

Bodhgaya

The place of Buddha's enlightenment. In the main temple of the city, which is surrounded by a beautiful and vast park, a tree still grows in the shade of which the Buddha gained enlightenment.

In addition, Bodhgaya has a wide variety of Buddhist temples erected by followers of the Buddha from many countries: China, Japan, Tibet, Vietnam, Thailand, Burma ... Each temple has its own unique architecture, decoration, and ceremonies.

Khajuraho

Khajuraho itself is not directly related to Osho, except that Osho often mentioned the tantric temples of Khajuraho, and his grandmother was directly related to Khajuraho.

In his autobiographical and ideological book Mein Kampf, Hitler stated that it was he who had the brilliant idea to make the swastika a symbol of the National Socialist movement. Probably, for the first time, little Adolf saw a swastika on the wall of a Catholic monastery near the town of Lambach.

The sign of the swastika - a cross with curved ends - has been popular since ancient times. He was present on the coins, household items and coats of arms since the VIII millennium BC. The swastika personified life, the sun, prosperity. Hitler could see this archaic solar symbol in Vienna on the emblems of Austrian anti-Semitic organizations.

Having dubbed him a Hakenkreuz (Hakenkreuz is translated from German as a hook cross), Hitler appropriated the glory of the discoverer, although the swastika as a political symbol in Germany appeared even before him. In 1920, Hitler, who was an unprofessional and mediocre, but still an artist, allegedly independently designed the design of the party logo, which is a red flag with a white circle in the middle, in the center of which was a black swastika with predatory hooks.

The red color, according to the leader of the National Socialists, was chosen in imitation of the Marxists. Seeing the one hundred and twenty thousandth demonstration of the left forces under the scarlet banners, Hitler noted the active influence of the bloody color on common man. In Mein Kampf, the Fuhrer mentioned the "great psychological significance" of symbols and their ability to powerfully influence a person. But it was precisely by controlling the emotions of the crowd that Hitler managed to introduce the ideology of his party to the masses in an unprecedented way.

By adding a swastika to the red color, Adolf gave a diametrically opposite meaning to the favorite color scheme of the socialists. Attracting the attention of the workers with the familiar color of the posters, Hitler seemed to "recruit" them.

The red color in the interpretation of Hitler personified the idea of ​​movement, white - the sky and nationalism, the hoe-shaped swastika - labor and the anti-Semitic struggle of the Aryans. Creative work was mysteriously interpreted as a sign of anti-Semitism.

In general, it is impossible to call Hitler the author of National Socialist symbols, contrary to his statements. He borrowed the color from the Marxists, the swastika and even the name of the party (slightly rearranging the letters) from the Viennese nationalists. The idea of ​​using symbols is also plagiarism. It belongs to the oldest member of the party - a dentist named Friedrich Krohn, who submitted a memorandum back in 1919 to the party leadership. However, in the bible of National Socialism, the book Mein Kampf, the name of the quick-witted dentist is not mentioned.

However, Kron put a different meaning into these symbols. The red color of the banner is love for the motherland, the white circle is innocence for unleashing the First World War, the black color of the cross is grief over losing the war.

In the decoding of Hitler, the swastika became a sign of the Aryan struggle against "subhumans". The claws of the cross seem to be aimed at Jews, Slavs, representatives of other peoples who do not belong to the race of "blond beasts".

Unfortunately, the ancient positive sign was discredited by the National Socialists. The Nuremberg Tribunal in 1946 banned Nazi ideology and symbols. The swastika was also banned. AT recent times she is somewhat rehabilitated. Roskomnadzor, for example, acknowledged in April 2015 that displaying the sign outside of a propaganda context is not an act of extremism. Although the “reprehensible past” cannot be crossed out, even today the swastika is used by some racist organizations.

I was forced to turn to this topic by long-term observations and reflections on some stable forms in architecture, religious and state symbols, folk celebrations and everything that usually falls under the concept of "tradition". Traditions are passed down from generation to generation and preserved for centuries and millennia, sometimes they outlive the states, languages ​​and ethnic groups that created them. Traditions carry historical information no less, and perhaps even more, than ancient papyri and books, but we still do not know how to extract this information.

Tradition Four

Swastika or Kolovrat

The swastika was found on clay vessels from the territory of modern Iraq, which date back to the 5th millennium BC, and in ornaments on ceramics of the South Ural Andronovo culture. Left-and right handed swastika found in pre-Aryan culture in the Indus River basin and in ancient China around 2000 BC (http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D1%E2%E0%F1%F2%E8%EA%E0).

In 1874, Heinrich Schliemann discovered images of the swastika during the excavations of Homeric Troy. During the Celtic period, the swastika was depicted on the altars of druidic cults, it was often used in religious rituals. The history of this symbol goes back thousands of years, to the times ancient egypt and India. It is interpreted both as an ancient symbol of fertility, and as a symbol of the sun, and as the hammer of Thor - the god of thunder, storm and fertility.

The concept of building a single brick of the Universe was developed, which is used in all hierarchical structures of the Universe, regardless of its size, be it a photon, an atom or a Galaxy. According to this concept, any hierarchical structure should be symmetrical, i.e. simultaneously located in two own spherical spaces: left-handed and right-handed, between which exchange processes take place. In this case, one of the spaces (right) is radiating dynamic, and the other (left) is absorbing. These spaces are not mirror images of each other, they are asymmetrical.

According to the Tao, the Universe is fed by the energy of two principles: the active radiating masculine Yang (in our case, this is the right space) and the passive absorbing female Yin (the left space).

One gets the impression that the division of Nature into living and non-living is an invention of man. Nature itself does not make such distinctions: both in one and in the other, the same type of metabolic processes take place. An example of this is the ancient mysterious sign of the Swastika - it is both a symbol of the Universe and Eternity, and a symbol of the movement of matter at all hierarchical levels of its existence - be it an atom, a galaxy, a mineral, a living cell or a person.

However, due to the interpretations of medieval European scholastics, as well as the criminal actions of the Nazis, there was a gross injustice: the swastika was dishonored and survived its spiritual death, turning from a symbol Eternal Life due to destruction. But let's hope that this phenomenon is temporary and justice will prevail.

Translated from Sanskrit, "swastika" means "a symbol of pure being and well-being." In India, Tibet, Mongolia and China, swastika signs still adorn the domes and gates of temples. Hitler, when he decided to make the swastika a state symbol, hoped that the swastika would bring him and the Third Reich good luck, but in his deeds he was clearly not moving in the direction of the Right (the right-hand direction of the swastika), so the swastika led the Third Reich to defeat.

In society after the Second World War, an extremely negative attitude towards the swastika was strengthened, for some reason the peoples of the world considered that the fault of this war was not Adolf Hitler and his party, but the swastika, a symbol that was widespread during the time of the Aryans.

Poor swastika! So the fascists have corrupted you with their crazy ideas and their criminal actions!

But a lot of time has passed since the Soviet soldiers set the red flag of victory at the Reichstag, there are few veterans of that war left alive, for whom the swastika is just a fascist sign and nothing more. But the swastika, or Kolovrat, is the oldest Aryan symbol, most likely a talisman, and not a sign of aggression. This is also a Russian sign, and it is no less Russian than German, because the ancestral home of the Aryans is the territory of the European part of Russia-Russia, and the Aryans Western Europe and the Aryans of India and Pakistan are those who left the ancestral home of their ancestors in search of the promised lands.

Therefore, it turns out that fascist Germany in 1941 attacked its albeit distant, but relatives, who turned out to be more faithful to the customs of distant Aryan ancestors than the Germans. So maybe the Kolovrat in the military uniform of the Nazis did not help them, but helped us - Russian-Russian-Soviet? This is the issue we are trying to figure out now.

It turns out that the sleeve emblems of the soldiers and officers of the Red Army of the South-Eastern Front in 1918 were also decorated with a swastika with the abbreviation of the RSFSR. This symbol is often found in ancient Russian ornaments in the Arkhangelsk and Vologda regions; it traditionally adorned the dwellings and clothes of the Rus. Found by archaeologists in 1986 in the Southern Urals, the ancient city of Arkaim had the structure of a swastika. Having studied the distribution of the swastika in space and time, I was convinced that this symbol is even more ancient than the Aryan past, otherwise how could it have been among the Indians of North America?

It is believed that the swastika is a very ancient Aryan symbol, in Russia he was better known than in Germany. This is a symbol of cycles in nature and society - Kolovrat. The basis of the Kolovrat is an equilateral cross. But the cross is static and does not symbolize movement, while the Kolovrat is dynamic and symbolizes the cyclical nature of time. It can indicate either right or left rotation. Drawing from the site:

Even the structure of the Galaxy reflects the symbol of the swastika - Kolovrat. Atmospheric cyclones have a similar structure. Photos from the site: http://707.livejournal.com/302950.html

In ancient times, when runes were still used for writing in Russia, the swastika meant "Coming from Heaven." It was the rune SVA - Heaven (Svarog - heavenly god). (Information from the site: http://planeta.moy.su/blog/svastika)

Galaxies are also twisted into different sides. In the photo on the left, the galaxy rotates to the left, and in the photo on the right, it rotates to the right. What this is connected with is still unknown. One can only assume that the ejection of matter from a black hole located in the center of Galaxies is asymmetric, more of it is ejected in one direction and at a higher speed. Both photos are taken from the NASA website.

The swastika was often embroidered on towels, bedspreads, pillows and clothes as a talisman. In this photo we see Kolovrat with both right and left rotation. I don't think these women share Hitler's views. Photo from the site: http://soratnik.com/rp/35_37/35_37_7.html

The word "swastika" is complex and consists of two Aryan words: "swa" - heaven and "tic" - movement, running. Photo from the site: http://truetorrents.ru/torrent-2212.html

It is surprising that both the Slavs, and the Balts, and the Ugrofins depicted a swastika on their clothes and towels. Photo from the site: http://707.livejournal.com/302950.html

On the hood of the car of Tsar Nicholas II there is a left-handed swastika. The appearance of the swastika at the court of the last Russian tsar is associated with the influence on the empress of the Buryat doctor, Lamaist Pyotr Badmaev, who preached Tibetan medicine and maintained ties with Tibet. Perhaps this is so, but the swastika has been a traditional Aryan symbol of Russia since ancient times. Photo from the site: http://707.livejournal.com/302950.html

The swastika continues to be used in the US to this day. In Squaw Valley in 2000, they tried to accuse a cattle owner of sympathies for Nazism only on the grounds that he branded cattle with a swastika brand inherited from his fathers and grandfathers.

In 1995, in the town of Glendale (California), a group of anti-fascists tried to force the city authorities to replace 930 lampposts installed on the streets of the city in 1924-1926, since their cast-iron pedestals of these pillars are surrounded by an ornament of swastikas. The local history society had to prove that the poles, purchased at one time from a steel company from Ohio, had nothing to do with the Nazis, and therefore could not offend anyone's feelings in any way, and the swastika design was based on local traditions Navajo Indians (http://www.slavianin.ru/svastika/stati/vedicheskie-simvoly-v-amerike.html).

The swastika with a lily in the center was depicted on the “thank you badges” of the Boy Scouts until 1940. The founder of the Scout movement Robert Baden-Powell then explained that it depicts a schematic map of Atlantis with 4 rivers flowing from a single center.

Objects with the image of the swastika are often found by archaeologists during excavations in different parts Europe and Asia. Sometimes the swastika adorns weapons, and more often quite peaceful things like pots and combs.

Etruscan gold jewelry found in Italy. It depicts a dextrorotatory swastika, and some signs-images go around the circle. Photos from the site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Etruscan_pendant_with _swastika_symbols_Bolsena_Italy_700_BCE_to_650_ BCE.jpg

Left-handed swastika royal family in Russia it was used as a talisman and as a symbolic reflection of the personality of the tsar. before his execution in 1918. former empress drew a swastika on the wall of Ipatiev's house. The owner of the photograph of this swastika was General Alexander Kutepov. Kutepov kept the icon found on the body of the former empress.

Inside the icon was a note in which the Green Dragon Society was commemorated. The Green Society, akin to the Thule Society, is still in Tibet today. Before Hitler came to power in Berlin, there lived a Tibetan lama, nicknamed "the man in green gloves." Hitler visited him regularly. This lama allegedly reported to the newspapers three times without error how many Nazis would pass in the elections to the Reichstag. Initiates called the lama "the holder of the keys to the kingdom of Agharti."

In 1926, Tibetans and Hindus appeared in Berlin and Munich. When the Nazis gained access to the finances of the Reich, they began to send large expeditions to Tibet; these studies were not interrupted until 1943. On the day when Soviet troops ended the battle for Berlin, among the corpses of the last defenders of Nazism, about a thousand bodies of people from Tibet were found.

The ignorant London reviewers of the film about the Romanovs called Empress Alexandra Feodorovna a "fascist Brunnhilde." And the empress only consecrated the house of Ipatiev, according to the ancient Aryan tradition, with a "charm", anticipating the end of life.

Once upon a time, the ancient Aryans, who moved from the regions of the Russian Plain to the south and southeast, brought the swastika to Mesopotamia, in Central Asia, to Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India - this is how the swastika got into the cultures of the eastern peoples. She was depicted on the painted dishes of ancient Susiana (Mesopotamian Elam on the east coast of the Persian Gulf in III millennium BC.). So the swastika may have entered the ancient cultures of non-Indo-European peoples. Somewhat later, the Semitic peoples began to use the swastika: the ancient Egyptians and the Chaldeans, whose state was located on the western coast of the Persian Gulf.

Today, the swastika is considered by the Indians a symbol of movement and the eternal rotation of the world - the "cycle of samsara." This symbol was allegedly imprinted on the heart of the Buddha and is therefore sometimes called the "Seal of the Heart". It is placed on the chest of those initiated into the mysteries of Buddhism after their death.

Later, the swastika entered Tibet, then Central Asia and China. A century later, she appeared in Japan and Southeast Asia, along with Buddhism, which made her its symbol. In Japan, the swastika is called a manji. Here it can be seen on the flags, armor and family crests of the samurai.

Together with Buddhism from India, the swastika entered Japan. In Japan, the swastika is called manji. The image of the manji can be seen on the flags, armor and family crests of the samurai. Photo from the site: http://707.livejournal.com/302950.html

The swastika is considered an Aryan symbol of the unity of the heavenly forces of fire and wind with the forces of the earth. The altars of the Aryans were decorated with a swastika, and these places were considered holy, protected from evil. The name "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit term "suasti" - prosperity under the Sun, and expressed the concept of "wheel", "disk", or "circle of eternity", divided into 4 sectors. In China and Japan, the hieroglyphs of the swastika mean wishes for longevity under the Sun. Photo from the site: http://707.livejournal.com/302950.html

The swastika was used not only by the Sumerians, Etruscans, ancient Greeks, Romans, it is known not only in Hinduism and Buddhism. This symbol can be found among Christians, and even among Jews in synagogues.

According to legend, Genghis Khan wore a ring with a swastika on his right hand, into which a magnificent ruby ​​\u200b\u200bwas set - a sun stone. In the oldest synagogue in Israel, the Swastika is depicted on the floor, although it is believed that the Jews are almost the only tribe that does not consider the swastika a sacred symbol.

It was unexpected for me to learn that the swastika was used not only by the Aryan peoples. It was also known to the Indians in North America, and they knew and used long before the arrival of the Europeans there. Where did the Navajo Indians get the swastika from?

The Navajo and Zuni Indian tribes living in the state of California and preserving their ancient way of life until the first third of the 20th century used the swastika in ornaments on quilts. Photo from the site: http://www.slavianin.ru/svastika/stati/vedicheskie-simvoly-v-amerike.html

The Indians continue to use the swastika to this day. You can meet her at the Shaffer Hotel (Shaffer Hotel) in New Mexico, as well as royal museum province of Saskatchewan in Canada, on a building in the state New England.

In February 1925, the Kuna Indians in Panama (Mesoamerica) announced the creation of an independent republic of Tula. On the banner of this republic, they depicted a left-handed swastika, which, it turns out, was an ancient symbol of this tribe. In 1942, the flag was slightly changed so as not to be associated with Nazi Germany. A nose ring was put on the swastika. In 1940, at a general meeting of tribes from Arizona - Navajo, Papagos, Apaches and Hopi - the Indians refused to use the swastika in all its forms in national costumes and products as a protest against Nazism, and 4 leaders signed the corresponding document. However, at present, the Indians continue to use the swastika.

Kennedy, where she is in an Indian dress with a swastika. Photo from the site: http://www.slavianin.ru/svastika/stati/vedicheskie-simvoly-v-amerike.html

The Kolovrat-swastika was imprinted by ancient Aryans in the Neolithic on mammoth tusks. Under the golden Kolovrat on a scarlet banner, Prince Svyatoslav went to Constantinople and the Khazars. This symbol was used by pagan magi in rituals associated with the ancient Slavic Vedic Faith, and is still embroidered by Vyatka, Kostroma, Arkhangelsk and Vologda needlewomen.

After a period of oblivion, the swastika again became popular in European culture in the XIX century as a sign of Light, Sun, Love, Life. But this is her modern interpretation, not its significance in religious cults.

As for the origins of the swastika, it can be unequivocally stated that it is very ancient sign, unfortunately, discredited in the XX century by the German fascists. I think that he undoubtedly has Aryan roots and at one time was carried by Aryan tribes throughout the Earth. This happened, probably, at least 12-15 thousand years ago. Then there were two civilizations on the globe - the Atlanteans (or the peoples of the sea) and the Aryans (or the peoples of the land). Relations between them were not at all peaceful. If the Atlanteans influenced different ethnic groups, capturing the sea coasts, where they had numerous fortress cities, and interacted with the local population from them, then the Aryans lived in the depths of the continents, where the Atlanteans could not disturb them much.

Plato mentions this when he writes that the ancestors of the ancient Greeks opposed the Atlanteans in the eastern Mediterranean. The Aryan origin of the ancient Greeks is beyond doubt. But the eastern Mediterranean, the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts of Africa and the Atlantic coasts of Europe, were probably completely controlled by the Atlanteans.

When Atlantis plunged into the depths of the sea, only its city-colonies and those Atlanteans and half-breeds of Atlantis with the natives who inhabited these colonies survived.

The civilization of the Aryans during the global catastrophe probably suffered less, especially on elevated plateaus, where the wave of the catastrophic tsunami (global flood) did not reach. But the distant descendants of the Atlanteans and Aryans for several millennia forgot about whose symbol was the trident, and whose symbol was the swastika, and began to use both. I do not exclude the possibility that already in Atlantis itself, before the catastrophe, both symbols were used. Otherwise, how would the swastika get to the Indians of North America?

With the filing of the anti-Russian media and information, it is not known who works for many people, the Swastika is currently associated with fascism and Adolf Hitler. This opinion has been hammered into the heads of people for the last 70 years. Few people now remember that the Swastika was depicted on Soviet money in the period from 1917 to 1923 as a legalized state symbol; that on the sleeve patches of soldiers and officers of the Red Army in the same period there was also a Swastika in a laurel wreath, and inside the Swastika were the letters R.S.F.S.R. There is even an opinion that Comrade I.V. Stalin himself presented the Golden Swastika-Kolovrat as a party symbol to Adolf Hitler in 1920. So many legends and conjectures have accumulated around this ancient symbol that perhaps it is worth telling in more detail about this oldest solar cult symbol on Earth.

The swastika symbol is a rotating cross with curved ends pointing clockwise or counterclockwise. As a rule, now all over the world all Swastika symbols are called in one word - SWASTIKA, which is fundamentally wrong, because. each Swastika symbol in ancient times had its own name, purpose, protective power and figurative meaning.

Swastika symbolism, as the most ancient, is most often found during archaeological excavations. More often than other symbols, it was found in ancient burial mounds, on the ruins of ancient cities and settlements. In addition, swastika symbols were depicted on various details of architecture, weapons, clothing and household utensils among many peoples of the world. Swastika symbolism is ubiquitous in ornamentation as a sign of Light, Sun, Love, Life. In the West, there was even an interpretation that the Swastika symbol must be understood as an abbreviation of four words starting with latin letter L:
Light - Light, Sun; Love - Love; Life - Life; Luck - Fate, Luck, Happiness(see postcard below).

The oldest archaeological artifacts with the image of swastika symbols are now dated approximately 4-15 millennium BC. (on the right is a vessel from the Scythian Kingdom 3-4 thousand BC). According to archaeological excavations, Russia and Siberia are the richest territories for the use of the swastika as a religious and cultural symbol. Neither Europe, nor India, nor Asia can compare with Russia or Siberia in the abundance of swastika symbols covering Russian weapons, banners, National costumes, household utensils, items everyday life and agricultural purposes, as well as houses and temples. Excavations of ancient mounds, cities and settlements speak for themselves - many ancient Slavic cities had a clear shape of the Swastika, oriented to the four cardinal points. This can be seen on the example of Arkaim, Vendogard and others (below is the reconstruction plan of Arkaim).

Plan-reconstruction of Arkaim L. L. Gurevich

The swastika and swastika-solar symbols were the main and, one might even say, almost the only elements of the most ancient Proto-Slavic ornaments. But this does not mean at all that the Slavs and Aryans were bad artists.
Firstly, there were a great many varieties of the image of the Swastika symbols. Secondly, in ancient times, not a single pattern was applied to any object just like that, because each element of the pattern corresponded to a certain cult or security (amulet) value, because. each symbol in the pattern had its own mystical power. By combining various mystical forces together, white people created a favorable atmosphere around themselves and their loved ones, in which it was easiest to live and create. These were carved patterns, stucco, painting, beautiful carpets woven by industrious hands (see photo below).

But not only Aryans and Slavs believed in the mystical power of swastika patterns. The same symbols were found on clay vessels from Samarra (the territory of modern Iraq), which date back to the 5th millennium BC. Swastika symbols in left-handed and right-handed forms are found in the pre-Aryan culture of Mohenjo-Daro (Indus River basin) and ancient China around 2000 BC. e. In Northeast Africa, archaeologists have found a burial stele of the Meroz kingdom, which existed in the 2nd-3rd centuries AD. The fresco on the stele depicts a woman entering into afterworld, the Swastika flaunts on the clothes of the deceased.

The rotating cross also adorns the golden weights for scales that belonged to the inhabitants of Ashanta (Ghana), and the clay utensils of the ancient Indians, beautiful carpets woven by the Persians and Celts. Man-made belts created by the Komi, Russians, Sami, Latvians, Lithuanians and other peoples are also filled with swastika symbols, and at present it is difficult even for an ethnographer to figure out which of the peoples to attribute these ornaments to. Judge for yourself.

Since ancient times, the swastika symbolism has been the main and dominant among almost all peoples on the territory of Eurasia: Slavs, Germans, Mari, Pomors, Skalvians, Curonians, Scythians, Sarmatians, Mordovians, Udmurts, Bashkirs, Chuvashs, Indians, Icelanders, Scots and many others.

In many ancient Beliefs and religions, the Swastika is the most important and the brightest iconic symbol. So, in ancient Indian philosophy and Buddhism (fig. on the right. Buddha's foot) The swastika is a symbol of the eternal cycle of the universe, a symbol of the Buddha's Law, to which everything that exists is subject. (Dictionary "Buddhism", M., "Republic", 1992); in Tibetan Lamaism - a security symbol, a symbol of happiness and a talisman.
In India and Tibet, the Swastika is depicted everywhere: on the walls and gates of temples (see photo below), on residential buildings, as well as on fabrics in which all sacred texts and tablets are wrapped. Very often, sacred texts from Books of the Dead, which are written on burial covers, before kroding (cremation).

You can observe the image of many Swastikas both on an old Japanese engraving of the 18th century (picture above), and on peerless mosaic floors in the halls of the St. Petersburg Hermitage (picture below).

But you will not find any messages about this in the media, because they have no idea what the Swastika is, what ancient figurative meaning it carries, what it has meant for many millennia and now means for the Slavs and Aryans and many peoples inhabiting our Earth. In these media, alien to the Slavs, the Swastika is called either german cross, or a fascist sign and reduce its image and meaning only to Adolf Hitler, Germany 1933-45, to fascism (National Socialism) and the Second World War. Modern "journalists", "is-Toriki" and guardians of "universal values" seem to have forgotten that the Swastika is the Ancient Russian symbol, that in past times representatives supreme power to enlist the support of the people, they always made the Swastika state symbols and placed her image on the money. So did the princes and tsars, the Provisional Government (see p. 166) and the Bolsheviks, who later seized power from them (see below).

Now, few people know that the matrices of a banknote in denominations of 250 rubles, with the image of the Swastika symbol - Kolovrat against the background of a double-headed eagle, were made by special order and sketches of the last Russian Tsar Nicholas II. The Provisional Government used these matrices to issue banknotes in denominations of 250, and later 1000 rubles. Beginning in 1918, the Bolsheviks put into circulation new banknotes in denominations of 5,000 and 10,000 rubles, which depict three Kolovrat Swastikas: two smaller Kolovrats in side ties are intertwined with large numbers 5000, 10,000, and a large Kolovrat is placed in the middle. But, in contrast to the 1000 rubles of the Provisional Government, which depicted on the reverse side The State Duma, on banknotes the Bolsheviks placed a double-headed eagle. Money with the Swastika-Kolovrat was printed by the Bolsheviks and was in use until 1923, and only after the appearance of the banknotes of the USSR they were withdrawn from circulation.

The authorities of Soviet Russia, in order to get support in Siberia, created in 1918 sleeve patches for the Red Army soldiers of the South-Eastern Front, they depicted a Swastika with the abbreviation R.S.F.S.R. inside (see below). But they did the same: the Russian Government of A. V. Kolchak, calling under the banner of the Siberian Volunteer Corps (see top left); Russian emigrants in Harbin and Paris, and then the National Socialists in Germany.

Created in 1921 according to the sketches of Adolf Hitler, the party symbols and the flag of the NSDAP (National Socialist German Workers' Party) subsequently became the state symbols of Germany (1933-1945). Few people now know that in Germany the National Socialists used not a Swastika , and a symbol similar to it in outline - Hakenkreuz (lower left), which has a completely different figurative meaning - a change in the world around us and a person's worldview.

For many millennia, the different inscriptions of swastika symbols have had a powerful influence on the way of life of people, on their psyche (Soul) and subconsciousness, uniting representatives of various tribes for the sake of some bright goal; gave a powerful surge of light divine forces, revealing the internal reserves in people for all-round creation for the benefit of their Clans, in the name of justice, prosperity and well-being of their Fatherland.

At first, only clergymen of various Tribal cults, Religions and religions used it, then representatives of the highest state power- princes, kings, etc., and after them all kinds of occultists and politicians turned to the Swastika.

After the Bolsheviks had completely captured all levels of power, the need for the support of the Soviet regime by the Russian people disappeared, because it is easier to seize the values ​​​​created by the same Russian people. Therefore, in 1923, the Bolsheviks abandoned the Swastika, leaving only the five-pointed star, the Hammer and Sickle as state symbols.

AT ancient times when our Ancestors used x "Aryan Runes, the word Swastika , translated as Coming from Heaven. Since the rune SVA meant Heaven (hence Svarog - Heavenly God), - FROM - Rune of direction; Runes - TIKA - movement, advent, flow, run. Our children and grandchildren still pronounce the word tick, i.e. run. In addition, the figurative form TIKA and is now found in everyday words Arctic, Antarctica, mysticism, homiletics, politics, etc.

Ancient Vedic sources tell us that even our galaxy has the shape of a Swastika, and our Yarila-Sun system is located in one of the arms of this Heavenly Swastika. And since we are in the galactic sleeve, our entire galaxy (its ancient name Svasti) is perceived by us as the Perunov Way or the Milky Way.
Any person who loves to look at the night scattering of stars can see the constellation to the left of the constellation Makosh (B. Ursa) swastikas (see below). It shines in the sky, but it has been excluded from modern star charts and atlases.

Both cult and household solar symbol, bringing happiness, good luck, prosperity, joy and prosperity, the Swastika was originally used only among the white people of the Great Race, professing the Old Faith of the First Ancestors - Ynglism , druidic cults of Ireland, Scotland, Scandinavia, and many millennia later other peoples of the Earth began to revere her Sacred Image: followers of Hinduism, Bon, Jainism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity of various directions, representatives of nature-religious denominations of Europe and America. The only ones who do not recognize the symbolism as sacred are the representatives of Judaism. Some people may object: they say, in the oldest synagogue in Israel, the Swastika is depicted on the floor and no one destroys it. Indeed, the swastika symbol is present on the floor in the Israeli synagogue, but only for everyone who comes to trample on it with their feet.

The legacy of the Ancestors brought the news that for many millennia the Slavs used the Swastika symbols. They numbered 144 species: Swastika, Kolovrat, Salting, Holy Gift, Svasti, Svaor, Solstice, Agni, Fash, Mara; England, Solar Cross, Solard, Vedara, Svetolet, Fern Flower, Perunov Tsvet, Swati, Race, Bogovnik, Svarozhich, Svyatoch, Yarovrat, Odolen-Grass, Rodimich, Charovrat, etc.

Swastika symbols carry a huge secret meaning. They have great wisdom. Each Swastika symbol opens before us the Great picture of the universe. The legacy of the Ancestors says that the knowledge of Ancient Wisdom does not accept a stereotypical approach. The study of ancient symbols, Runic writings and ancient Traditions must be approached with an open heart and a pure Soul.
Not for self-interest, but for knowledge!
Swastika symbols in Russia, for political purposes, were used by all and sundry: monarchists, Bolsheviks, Mensheviks, but much earlier, representatives of the Black Hundred began to use their Swastika, then the Russian Fascist Party in Harbin intercepted the baton.

At the end of the 20th century, the Russian National Unity organization began to use the Swastika symbolism (see left). Knowledgeable person never says that the Swastika is a German or fascist symbol. So they say only the essence of unreasonable and ignorant people, because they reject what they are not able to understand and know, and also try to wishful thinking.

But if ignorant people reject any symbol or any information, this still does not mean that this symbol or information does not exist.

The denial or distortion of truth in favor of some violates the harmonious development of others. Even the ancient symbol of the Greatness of the Fertility of the Mother of the Raw Earth, called in antiquity SOLARD , some incompetent people rank as fascist symbols. A symbol that appeared many thousands of years before the rise of National Socialism. At the same time, it does not even take into account the fact that RNE's SOLARD is combined with the Star of the Lada-Virgin Mary (see on the left), where the Divine Forces (Golden Field), the Forces of Primary Fire (red), the Heavenly Forces (blue) and the Forces of Nature are united (green). The only difference between the original Symbol of Mother Nature and the sign used by the RNU is the multicolor of the Original Symbol of Mother Nature (left) and the two-color one of the Russian National Unity.

At ordinary people had their own names of Swastika symbols. In the villages of the Ryazan province, she was called "feather grass" - the incarnation of the Wind; on the Pechora "hare" - here the graphic symbol was perceived as a particle Sunlight, ray, sun bunny; in some places the Solar Cross was called a “horse”, “horse shank” (horse head), because a long time ago the horse was considered a symbol of the Sun and Wind; were called Swastikas-Solyarniks and "flinters", again in honor of Yarila-Sun. The people very correctly felt both the Fiery, Fiery Nature of the symbol (Sun) and its Spiritual essence (Wind).

The oldest master of Khokhloma painting, Stepan Pavlovich Veseloe (1903-1993), from the village of Mogushino, Nizhny Novgorod region, following the traditions, painted the Swastika on wooden plates and bowls, calling it “saffron milk cap”, the Sun, and explained: “This is the wind of a blade of grass swaying, moving.”

In the village, until now, girls and women wear elegant sundresses, ponevs and shirts for holidays, and men - blouses embroidered with swastika symbols of various shapes. Lush loaves and sweet cookies are baked, decorated on top with Kolovrat, Salting, Solstice and other Swastika patterns.

As mentioned earlier, before the second half of the 20th century, the main and almost the only patterns and symbols that existed in Slavic embroidery were Swastika ornaments.

But in the second half of the 20th century, in America, Europe and the USSR, they began to decisively eradicate this solar symbol, and eradicated it in the same way as they had previously eradicated: the ancient folk Slavic and Aryan Culture; ancient faith and folk traditions; the true Heritage of the Ancestors, undistorted by the rulers, and the long-suffering Slavic people themselves, the bearer of the ancient Slavic-Aryan Culture.

And now they are trying to ban any kind of rotating Solar Crosses, in many ways the same people or their descendants, but using different pretexts: if earlier this was done under the pretext of class struggle and anti-Soviet conspiracies, now it is a fight against the manifestation of extremist activity.
For those who are not indifferent to the ancient Native Great Russian Culture, several typical patterns of Slavic embroidery of the 18th-20th centuries are given. On all enlarged fragments you can see the Swastika symbols and ornaments for yourself.
The use of swastika symbols in ornaments in the Slavic lands is simply incalculable. They are used in the Baltic States, Belarus, the Volga region, Pomorie, Perm, Siberia, the Caucasus, the Urals, Altai and the Far East and other regions.

Academician B. A. Rybakov called the Solar symbol - Kolovrat, a link between the Paleolithic, where it first appeared, and modern ethnography, which provides innumerable examples of swastika patterns in fabrics, embroidery and weaving.

But after the Second World War, in which Russia, as well as all the Slavic and Aryan peoples suffered huge losses, the enemies of the Aryan and Slavic Culture began to equate fascism and the Swastika.

The Slavs used this Solar sign throughout their existence.
Streams of lies and fictions regarding the Swastika overflowed the cup of absurdity. " Russian teachers"in modern schools, lyceums and gymnasiums in Russia, children are taught complete nonsense, which The swastika is a German fascist cross, made up of four letters "G" , denoting the first letters of the leaders of Nazi Germany: Hitler, Himmler, Goering and Goebbels (sometimes replaced by Hess). Listening to such "unfortunate teachers", one might think that Germany in the time of Adolf Hitler used exclusively Russian alphabet , and not at all the Latin script and the German Runic.
Is it in German surnames: HITLER, HIMMLER, GERING, GEBELS (HESS) , there is at least one Russian letter"G" - No! But the flow of lies does not stop.
Swastika patterns and elements have been used by the peoples of the Earth over the past 10-15 thousand years, which is confirmed even by archaeologists.
Ancient thinkers have repeatedly said: "The development of man is hampered by two troubles: ignorance and ignorance." Our Ancestors were knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and therefore used various Swastika elements and ornaments in everyday life, considering them as symbols of the Yarila-Sun, Life, Happiness and prosperity.

In general, only one symbol was called the Swastika. This is an equilateral cross with curved short rays. Each beam has a 2:1 ratio (see left).
Only narrow-minded and ignorant people can denigrate everything that is pure, bright and expensive that remains among the Slavic and Aryan peoples. Let's not be like them! Do not paint over the Swastika symbols in the ancient Slavic temples and Christian temples, on the Kummirs of the Light Gods and the Images of the Wise Ancestors. Do not destroy, at the whim of ignoramuses and Slav-haters, the so-called "Soviet staircase", the mosaic floor and ceilings of the Hermitage or the domes of the Moscow St. Basil's Cathedral just because they have been painted on them for hundreds of years various options Swastikas.

Everyone knows that the Slavic prince Prophetic Oleg nailed his shield to the gates of Constantinople (Constantinople), but few now know what was depicted on the shield. Nevertheless, a description of the symbolism of his shield and armor can be found in historical chronicles. (Shield drawing Prophetic Oleg on right).Prophetic people, i.e. having the gift of Spiritual Foresight and knowing the Ancient Wisdom, which the Gods and Ancestors left to people, were endowed by the Priests with various symbols. One of these most notable people was the Slavic prince - Prophetic Oleg.
In addition to being a prince and an excellent military strategist, he was also a high-level priest. The symbolism, which was depicted on his clothes, weapons, armor and the princely banner, tells about this in all the detailed images.

The Fiery Swastika (symbolizing the land of the Ancestors) in the center of the nine-pointed Star of Inglia (the symbol of the Faith of the First Ancestors) was surrounded by the Great Kolo (Circle of Patron Gods), which radiated eight rays of Spiritual Light (the eighth degree of Priestly initiation) to the Svarog Circle. All this symbolism spoke of the enormous Spiritual and physical strength that is directed to protect the Native Land and the Holy Old Faith.

They believed in the Swastika as a talisman, "attracting" good luck and happiness. On the Ancient Russia it was believed that if you draw Kolovrat on your palm, you will definitely be lucky. Even modern students draw the Swastika on the palm of their hand before exams. The swastika was also painted on the walls of the house so that happiness reigned there, this exists in Russia, and in Siberia, and in India.

For those readers who wish to receive more information about the Swastika, we recommend the Ethno-religious essays of Roman Vladimirovich Bagdasarov
