200th Anniversary of the War of 1812.

[Тютчев]

Roll call of two victories: this is not final, it is only the beginning

Timothy Serhejts

June 22 (according to the current so-called Gregorian New Style), Napoleon announced to his troops to march on Russia, calling the campaign a "second Polish war." Yes, on this day. Would be worth it to us to celebrate as a day of national testing and courage.

Despite the differences are exactly 129 years, despite the industrial and political revolution in the world, separating the two identical dates between two howling us very much in common - to morphological literal repetition. Even the technical approach to the conquest of Russia for nearly half a century has not changed one iota. It is no coincidence the two wars we call domestic. Both of them ran into our historical memory, acquired a sacred significance. And it is precisely the memory of the first invasion helped to overcome the second.

Usurper united Europe against Russia. And Napoleon, and Hitler rapidly, in about a decade, with new-fangled ideology and revolutionary social technologies came to the pinnacle of power and conquered continental Europe. Both times that do not really even mind. Both are recognized as the usurper of the European civilization of heroes who have received a place on the right of the strong and dignified. Both times England appeared an ally of Russia, who defended Russia in the end of the invasion. And both times, Britain reaped the laurels of the main winner, announcing the outcome of events in Europe precisely because of its political and military victory.

Blitzkrieg kaput. It is known that Hitler was counting on a victory for a month or two, as in all his previous military campaigns in Europe. But it does not come up with it. The main method of Napoleon consisted in imposing the enemy general battle, which the usurper, and won. What, in fact, a blitzkrieg. Russian avoided a general engagement throughout the summer of 1812, then agreed to take him at Borodino, and had not been defeated. Then again evaded. The war became protracted. Blitzkrieg failed.

retreat. I had to retreat to Moscow - both times. Yes, Napoleon entered, and there is no Hitler. There is a difference era. But the "point of no return" one. As for the Poles - two centuries before Napoleon. No need to go to Moscow to reach Moscow, to go to Moscow. This really is the place. It still chose Dolgoruky. And he understood this. It is no coincidence all sorts of Russophobia, and still personifies his hatred of Russia as a hate above all to Moscow.

Scorched Earth. And as time Moscow was burning more than four days, from 14 to 18 September 1812 th. Burned more than five sixths of the city. The usurper was forced to move out of the Kremlin - from the very European residence, built by the Italians. During the Great Patriotic we are burned and blew up their city before the arrival of the Germans - as well as to Moscow in 1812. To the great chagrin and bewilderment of the German, does not fit into the framework of German rationalism. What to do - Russian barbarians.

The guerrillas, in other words the terrorists., and in general people are peasants, but primarily it was the peasants, under the new "power" does not lay down. As the invaders seemed nonsense. After all, like, on the European understanding what you guys, the difference is who is the master? It turns out there's a difference. Napoleon left without forage. Bread is not just cleaned and is decorated ... destroyed. French (and later the Germans) were killed without much conversation. They gathered in the woods and out endlessly attacked communications. In 1812 captured wagons, and in 1941 "derailed." The new "power" to understand this phenomenon and could not - either then or later. Hitler believed that the rush to him in the leg away from Stalin, and Napoleon came, too - free from slavery. 'Slaves', however, came in its own way - as a truly free people. Without oglyadok complexes and on the "civilization."

Marshall wins. At the beginning of the war, both times in Russian was bad with the management of the army, with the command. Kutuzov took the army on August 29, Zhukov - October 10. That is, in the autumn, in a difficult situation. Both are essentially personally determined strategy is victory. Is there such a thing - Russian long harness. That looks like a crisis and is accompanied by loss of life, in fact, there is a unique process of collective self-Russian, when the army and the people with the leadership become one. And intellectually, and morally. And then they win where it seems all the other Europeans simply impossible.

The gendarme of Europe. Both times it ended in the occupation of the capital of the aggressor. And the Russian control of pan-European processes and countries - the control of legitimate and well deserved. The ideology of control differed, but the essence was the same: no need for us to go to war, and then you will have to live under us.

«White Ribbon", ie flags. Traitors both times dreamed that we finally won the European "civilizer" which alone can teach us foolish, rude and wild, to live like human beings. And for this, and let vyporet and punish. They still dream about it.

Heroes. Do not spare his stomach, gave his life for his friends. Now is the host of heaven. Both times, the war was popular. The Holy War. The first has already erected a temple - the restored Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Second memory still needs to be visible Orthodox worship.

Perhaps there are other similarities. But for the withdrawal of enough of those listed above. Our memory is, findeth event in 1812 as sacred, durable, skeleton came into popular consciousness in 1941.

It let Comprehending those who believe that in order to build future success, "a comfortable European country" (presumably within Moscow and Moscow region) need to forget our history. Well, really, what it be remembered - because it was not with us. That is, let's decide right away, so that we can not - as they are. And if anyone will go for us, we just give up, no nonsense. But everything else - is "Putin's propaganda." Yet for 129 years, this "propaganda" (then "Nicholas", probably) has been proved to be very important.

***

"Say, Uncle, it is no vain ..." Definitely not for nothing. Not for nothing was given victory - both times. And it's not just fallen in ruin, the depletion of the popular forces - and the forces of power, by the way, too.

Nothing in 1812 did not end there. As in 1941. Fights, fights ... And then ...

That's the magic numbers:

1812 +13=1825

Do you remember? End of an Era. And a temporary end to the imported liberalism. The king came authoritarian. The one that marked the beginning of the Russian railways.

And more:

1941 +12 = 1953

End of an era, too, only this time the liberalization of victory - along with the change in the king with great humor. If the 1825-m "modernizers" have put in place, then in 1953 began a different process - denial of what we really "tired". And the commotion. "Thaw" and vilification previous king.

Both wars have left behind fatigue and a desire to heal "as they have there" - those who won. They wanted this really is the new generation. In total - military victory began to turn slowly in a political defeat. In the 1825-meters, of course, it was not so deep as in the 1960s, although the Crimean War - in fact, the then detect our backlog - can not be called brilliant. So, the way out 1825 was also far from perfect - for all his real humanity of the twentieth century against the backdrop. As the saying goes, we are not one of those Muravyovs, which hung, and of those Muravyovs who were hanged.

It does not say that winning is not necessary, we incline to what many intelligent liberal voices, and that says that a victory should still work correctly after a historical perspective. Since the victory - not ending historical process. And it can not escape the dialectic - after the victory can not be complacent and need to plan the actual historical development. Otherwise, the return process history can severely damage the state. Victory should be able to continue in the internal life of the country and in foreign policy, not just "freeze" in the memorial and eternal fame.

You can say this: the people and characters should be real reward for their efforts. That we still have to do and to do otherwise, we have taken away the victory, along with the memory of her. And the first and second, although by and large it is always one and the same victory.

Wins two, but as a result of the soldiers remained serfs.
It was so angered the Decembrists.
Even the attitude of the soldiers has not changed for the better.
This prefer not to remember.

"White Ribbon ", ie flags .... Heroes ... The Holy War .

Note important . But !
The cause of wars that we are different . We have other style of thinking , given by us to the Russian language.
The present war , economic, fundamentally different. Foreigners attacked in the heart - they attacked our language, our way of thinking. Immediately affected and the family , education, communication and culture , and ... and ...
The authorities , led by chiefs, did not see any effect in 1812 or in 1941 or now .
Fighting off attacks from the people, that is, SOCIETY . The winner and still under the shock of the same State.
Today , in the circumstances of the terrible danger of trying to reason with STATE SOCIETY . While it is impossible. Authorities did not hear. Marshal yet. In the terminology of Article retreat .

The author must be careful to use words . Patriotism - there , but the words disguised thoughts.

Foreigners struck to the heart - they attacked our language, our way of thinking .

I've lost something very thread of the conversation .
Magnolia, who attacked us ? What did they do with language ?
Here is an example of the phrases , VS Chernomyrdin : - "In any language I can speak with everyone, but this tool, I try not to use it. "

Traitors both times dreamed that we finally won the European " civilizer " which alone can teach us foolish , rude and wild , to live like human beings .

Just remember Thaddeus Bulgarin that okromya all else in the company and in 1812 participated in the Russian part of the body on the side of Napoleon, was promoted to captain, was awarded the Legion of Honor , and after the war became a writer, after the uprising of December 14, 1825 dramatically changed the views of " liberal " to " reactionary " and began to cooperate with the III department of His Majesty's office .
sell Fabian Russia
Not for the first time, as you know.
Perhaps he would sell his wife , children,
And peace on earth, and heaven heaven
He would have sold for the conscience of fair value ,
Yes , sorry, lies in the treasury . ( a )

completely lost the thread of conversation.

This is not a conversation. This expression. Tyutchev proposed to compare the situation in which Russia finds itself today, with the militant attacks of Napoleon and Hitler. At the same time address issues of trust and authority, leaders, and leadership of the heroic individual, and betrayal, and evaluating the result of victory ...
I argue that the modern invasion of Russia has a fundamentally different nature of the signs of psychological warfare to break the "Russian" style of thinking.
Remember, one of the first applications of 90-ies - "let the Russian move to the Latin alphabet." It did not work! Then began the imposition of English insertions such as "talk show" instead of "talk and show," "business lunch" instead of "business dinner" and so on. If all is well understood that each alphabetic letter - the code is one of the properties in the perception of the world, we quickly realized that the deformation of the Russian character set will make idiots and shall serve as the Indians.
The aim of any war - to destroy the people by destroying their native language. Long process, but reliable. Very briefly, I wrote about this in his essay "The people and animals" (sm.dnevnik)

The position of Russia - is a serious issue, and Chernomyrdin was referring to just swearing

Fears are!

I am sure that , Russian, and style of thinking and his language is very flexible and has many well- century usvaevaet and recycles many cultures . And that just get richer. For a long time , many have their Tatar- Mongol word , French, German and so on. And on this basis arose , Pushkin , Tolstoy, and many great writers and philosophers. Thinking , too, can not be stopped in development. , And the reasons for this are many and not just the war that often splachevaet people, but it happens and contribute to its development. People can not be incubator in its grandeur , and the Russian people are great, and his greatness in the versatility and diversity of all cultures , even hostile .

Right is outraged, and, yeah.

WHITE RUSSIA UNDER THE COLONIAL Negro FIFTH EUROPEAN

Ethnographic notes on the life of Russian peasants in the late XIX - early XX century, show the existence of a certain white Negroes. People defecate in his hut right on the straw on the floor, the dishes are washed once or twice a year, and everything in the house is full of bugs and cockroaches. The life of Russian peasants is very similar to the situation of blacks in southern Africa.

Apologists tsarism as an example of love to give to achieve the higher classes in Russia: theater, literature, universities, inter-European cultural exchange and social events. That's right. But the higher and educated classes of the Russian Empire belonged to the strength of the 4-5 million people. Another million 7-8 - a different kind of commoners, and urban workers (the latter at the time of the Revolution of 1917 was 2.5 million). The remaining mass - which is about 80%of the population of Russia - was the peasantry, in fact, a lot of disenfranchised indigenous oppressed by colonizers - the representatives of European culture. That is, de facto and de jure Russia consisted of two nations.

Exactly the same thing happened, for example, in South Africa. On the one hand 10%of well-educated and civilized minority of white Europeans have about the same approximate their attendants from the Indians and mulattos, and below - 80%of the natives, many of which remained even in the Stone Age. However, modern blacks in South Africa, in 1994, have thrown off the power of "terrible oppression" has not yet come to mind to say that they are involved in the success of the white minority to build a "small Europe". On the contrary, negros in South Africa today are trying to get rid of "legacy" colonizers - are destroying their material civilization (houses, water supply, selhozimeniya), rather than impose their own dialect of Afrikaans, Christianity replaced by shamanism, as well as murder and rape of representatives of the white minority.


In the USSR the same thing happened: the civilization of the white world deliberately destroyed, its members were killed or expelled from the country, in the ecstasy of vengeance previously oppressed majority of the natives can not stay still.

Blog Interpreter seems strange that some educated people in Russia began to divide the population on the "Russian" and "Soviet." Because it would be more correct to call the first "European" and the second "Russian" (the more so in the passports of the Russian Empire, ethnicity was not mentioned, and bear the only religion, that is, the concept of "nationality" in the country was not). Well, or at least, tolerant of the "Russian-1" and "Russian-two."

Interestingly, the negros in the USA have found much in common with the Russian peasants, too, in fact, ex-slaves:

"In the last decade, increasing attention of researchers draw similarities attitude blacks in the Americas with the psychology of the Russian peasantry after their release. Found parallels between the ideas of the Slavophiles to preserve the national spirit and the quest for identity Negro intelligentsia. Universities and lectures about the importance of Russian and Soviet cultural context for understanding the search for African-American writers. Occupy an important place in the program of such courses reports and memoirs of those who went to the USSR in the 20s and 30s, as well as the stories of returning "home to Harlem." Book cover DE Peterson, "From bondage. Literature on the Russian and African-American soul, "which deals with the position of postcolonial literary theory in the representation of Russian and African-American literature duality of human consciousness, is decorated with a reproduction of Repin's" Boatmen on the Volga. "


The parallels (as well as differences) between Russian serfdom and American slavery occurred in the black press in the U.S. is already the 1820s, and later repeated thousands of times. "This system was called serfdom, but it was the worst kind of slavery," - wrote Rogers. Two descriptions of Pushkin's life, the same author (published in 1929 and 1947), written in language understandable to the people of the American South: "Pushkin learned the Russian language from his nanny, a white" Mammy "[Negro-nurse], and the slaves who worked on the plantation of his father ". "Thirty million of his Russian counterparts, whites were held in cruel bondage," and knowing about their plight, Pushkin sympathized with the rebels, "who devoted themselves to the overthrow of the autocracy and the emancipation of the slaves."

According to the African-American author, poet, a special relationship with Arina Rodionovna is possible thanks to the black color of his skin. Nanny and child brings a sense of isolation. Other black authors also write that it was (Negro) race Pushkin made him the spokesman of his soul (Russian) people. For example, Pushkin, becomes the embodiment of the Russian spirit is not, contrary to what he was black, but thanks to this circumstance. Oxley, Thomas argues that "racial traits" Pushkin allowed to become "the first writer who expressed the soul [Russian] people. He felt his heart beat. "

That is, in representations of Blacks USA, Ebony Alexander Pushkin and began the formation of the Russian nation of servants of the European colonizers.

In this light, by the way, and the Revolution in 1917 is not so much socialist as national-liberation movement of the Russian, the Europeans against the colonial administration and their lackeys, "mulatto" (part of the intelligentsia and the commoners).

But it's all a mental description of the Russian oppressed people. A physically lived the slaves of white masters?

The study Bezgina Vladimir, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor of History and Philosophy of Tambov State Technical University, describes the sanitary conditions of peasant life late XIX - early XX century. (Published in the anthology "Russian peasants during the war and peacetime (XVIII - XX centuries. Sat labor. Participants. Scientific. Conf. (Tambov, June 10, 2010) Tambov Univ GOU VPO TSTU. In 2010. On . 23 - 31. study was prepared with financial support from the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), Short-term Grant 2009).


"The Russian peasants were very undemanding in the household. Stranger, above all, struck asceticism of interior decoration. The peasant hut late XIX century differed little from the previous century rural dwellings. Most of the rooms occupied by the furnace, which serves both for heating and cooking. Most of the peasants' huts were heated "black." In 1892 in the village of Epiphany parish Kobel'kov Tambov province of 533 442 households heated "black" and 91 "in white." According to Doctor of Medicine VI Nicholas, who examined the medical and sanitary condition of the inhabitants of Tambov district, for each member of a family of seven, had 21.4 feet of air that was not enough. In winter, the air filled with the miasma of huts and extremely hot.

Sanitary condition of the peasant dwellings depended primarily on the nature of the flooring. If the floor has a wooden floor, and then the house was much cleaner. In houses with earthen floor was covered with their straw. Straw is a universal covering for the floor in a peasant's cottage. Her children and sick family members sent their natural needs, and to the extent of contamination, periodically changed. On the sanitary requirements of the Russian peasants have a vague idea.

The floors are mostly earthen, served as a source of dirt, dust and moisture. In winter in the huts contained young - calves and lambs, therefore, of any neatness could not be considered.

On the clean beds in rural huts can only talk about. Often served as a bed "Solomennikov", ie a bag full of rye straw or spring. Straw did not change it sometimes for a year, she recruited the mass of dust and dirt, make bugs. Almost no bed linen, pillows just sometimes wore pillow cases, but not always the pillow. Sheet replaced the coarse canvas, homespun bedding, blankets and duvet covers did not know any.

It was not in the rural way of life and proper nutrition. Food in peasant families, usually used from the general utensils, cutlery almost did not know, drank from the cups at a time. The dishes after meals peasants are not washed, but only rinsed it in cold water and put in place. Washed dishes in a real way not more than one - two times a year.


And ... in a number of villages and restrooms were not. Thus, in the villages of Voronezh latrines was not satisfied, and "human excrement were scattered over the fields, in the courts, backyards, and devoured by pigs, dogs and chickens."

Ethnographic sources of the late XX century, contain information about the presence of peasant huts pests: cockroaches, bedbugs, fleas. It can be concluded that they were the constant companions of the rural way of life. Head lice - the usual companion of the population, especially a lot of them is found in children. The women in my spare time "looking each other in the head." His mother, caressing her child, by all means, though a little look for parasites in his hair. In the travel notes of A. Mincha, we find the following observation about the author's favorite pastime of one of the peasant villages, "Baba wooden comb that are used for combing flax, digs into his head the other, and often shows an abundance of insects clicking in the hair of our Russian women."

In summer the peasants overcame fleas, even Peter's fast men called flea fasting. During this period in the villages of Vologda was possible to observe the following picture: "In the hut sat a man and a woman, completely naked, and were engaged in catching fleas, without the slightest hesitation - so it is accepted, and nothing here is not reprehensible."

The traditional means of maintaining the purity of the body in the Russian countryside was a bath. But the Russian baths in the village was too little. According to AI Shingaryov, in the early twentieth century in the bath with. Mohovatke there were only 2 of 36 families, while in neighboring New-beast - one in 10 families. Most peasants in Voronezh, as calculated by the author, washed once - twice a month in trays in the house or just the straw.

Lack of personal hygiene was the cause of the spread of most infectious diseases in the Russian countryside. Researcher prerevolutionary period N. Brzhesky based on the study of everyday life of peasants chernozem provinces came to the conclusion that "the poor water quality and resolute indifference to content yourself clean causes the spread of contagious diseases." And could it be otherwise when eating from one bowl and drank from one mug, wiped a towel, use someone else's underwear. Explaining the reason for the wide spread of syphilis in the village, the doctor G. Gertsenshtein pointed out that "the disease is not spread through sex, and is transmitted through everyday obschezhitelskih relationship healthy and sick family members, neighbors, and I go people. Overall bowl, spoon, an innocent child kiss the infection spreading further and further ... ". Most researchers, both past and present solidarity that the basic form of infection and spread of syphilis in the Russian village was home due to non-public elementary rules of hygiene.

The food was infant milk from a bottle, pacifier with a plastic gutta-percha, often cow tits and zhovka, all contained in a very unclean. In the busy season with a dirty smelly child horn left on all day under the supervision of young nurses. The appeal of Dr. V. Nikitenko, "On the fight against infant mortality in Russia" indicated the main cause of infant death, as in Central Russia and Siberia: "Neither Jew nor Tatar not a substitute for your own milk teat, it's very Russian tradition, and one of the most disastrous. The general testimony, non-breast-feeding a baby - the main reason for their extinction. " Lack of breast milk in the diet of infants makes them vulnerable to intestinal infections, especially common in the summer. The majority of children under one year died in a Russian village due to diarrhea. "

The great writer Maxim Gorky, in his letter "On the Russian Peasantry ', described their thoughts in relation to the city, that is, of European civilization:" Finally, after a long, fierce critics of the city "zabavok," said the bearded man, with a sigh: - If revolution we are doing - on the ground for a long time to become quiet and order would be ... Sometimes the attitude towards the citizens is expressed in a simple but radical form: - Cut off from the ground should be all educated, then we, fools will be easy to live with, and then - zamayali you have! "" We can now say with confidence that, at the cost of destruction of the intelligentsia and the working class, the Russian peasantry came to life ", - concluded bitter.


Surely with the further development of Russian, democratic nationalism theme of the liberation movement of peasants, he started against the autochthonous European colonialism will be further developed.
