Our real tomorrow: mummers or guardians?

223



The mail has arrived. From Voronezh. It’s somewhat disruptive, such as “What kind of chaos is happening”, but the essence is simple: on May 9, leaning on all the bans, a number of citizens who had similarities with the reenactors arranged a certain event.



In general, nothing quite like that, well, they came, laid flowers, showed portraits of veterans on cameras. It is clear that all this was contrary to the decree of the governor, but in general the decree there wasn’t really that way ... To drop sneakers, hurry to sit at home on May 9. In general, this is on everyone’s conscience; he himself did not sit at home. What others to judge?

I don’t want to discuss the fact that distances, masks, because everything is just nonsense.

So from the entire letter for consideration I took only the negative in relation to what was hanging on the chests of some reenactors.

In general, that moment most of all plunged into the negative of the reader. Well, I agree, the order of Glory in the form of a citizen ... well, it doesn’t look at all.

I started to understand. And the further, the more interesting it became.

So in the style of the late Zadornov I’ll ask everyone who is interested to be patient, everything is really not so simple and even informative.

To begin with, I venture to give a definition of who, where and how can hang something on myself from: awards, copies, signs, badges and so on.

Naturally, I couldn’t untwist all of this myself, therefore I asked for help, which they didn’t refuse me, and they explained everything so coolly.

Therefore, using my right, I want to express my most sincere gratitude to the experts who spent a lot of their personal time on me:

Maxim Bochkov
Dmitry Bystrov
Elena Kirillova
Andrei Bondar


These people are very famous in the reconstruction environment, so I'm sure the level of my experts is more than adequate.

And now let's go and go from the very beginning.

About what is happening in our country in terms of awards, I will say later. In the end. Although it’s all in the know, that is complete mess and mess. But then our reality is simultaneously with the generals from the press services.

But still, the Great Patriotic War is still something unshakably holy. And the rewards of that war still (with rare exceptions) do not touch with dirty hands. And the rare exceptions due to the Internet are very quickly exposed to ridicule and condemnation, so that for now you can fall asleep.

Let me emphasize the word “Bye”. Fat like that.

In the meantime, a man in a military uniform of the times of World War II with awards of the same time on this uniform can appear before us without conviction in just a few cases:

1. He is a participant in the filming of a historical film.
2. He is a member of the theatrical production, both on the stage and outside it.


In principle, historical reconstruction is a variant of theatrical production. And in this aspect, I completely without problems and remorse allow the participants of this event to wear copies of awards for the sake of historical conformity.

In our example, which in the photo, of course, we are not talking about reconstruction. This is the usual civil procedure for laying flowers on Memorial Day performed by people dressed in the uniform of soldiers of that time. Are such fake rewards appropriate here? Yes, and the form itself is not particularly appropriate. This is still not part of the theatrical performance, it must be understood.

In this case, I am sorry that the club leader, who allowed such an (probably uncoordinated) event, thought only of PR.

I am well aware of who these people are, I will not give names and surnames precisely because I do not want to do additional advertising. What these citizens did is not entirely beautiful, and defiant at the same time. And we will end with this, of course, they may have their own position on this issue, but it is not entirely appropriate here.

But let's talk about the awards in full.

For those who are not in the know, it will be interesting to know that there are rewards in the reconstruction movement. Actually, this is logical. Military historical clubs are often quite registered organizations, of course, public organizations, and therefore have the right to release their order products.

From the point of view of the law, everything is clean.

But there is a nuance.

As one of the experts explained to me, club awards, as well as awards dedicated to events held, they are deliberately ordered very similar to real ones. Intentionally, for what purpose: in order to use them as props in performances.

This is done as follows: the order (or medal) is ordered so as to be as similar as possible from a distance to the original. And point-blank, from a distance of 2-3 meters, it would be obvious that this is not even a copy, but ... however, judge for yourself.



From these figures it is clear that the Order of Glory is one thing, and the "Order" of the Glory of the Red Army is another. But from a distance, one really does not understand what a person hangs there. Order, copy or "order".

And almost every of the reenactors has a whole collection of such “orders” and “medals”.

Our real tomorrow: mummers or guardians?

This is a collection of one of the experts.

As I understood from the answers to my questions, there is no system in this matter. Installation documents too. My questions about how and who can wear what, received answers, from which it followed that all this was personally on the conscience of each individual person.

Here is what one of the interviewees told me:

“Specifically, there is no award system in the reconstruction movement. There is one general rule: these state awards can only be worn, but this, as you know, is rare. (Let me remind you, the Order of the Red Star, Red Banner, the medal "For Courage" and "For Military Merit" people received in Afghanistan. - Auth.)

Wearing state decorations native of that time is NOT YOURSELF punished. Stylized for those awards to the point of confusion and other trinkets for participating in some event, you can wear it, but all this is left to the conscience and vanity of the re-enactor.

If it is about putting on something to participate in the reconstruction, such things are done only with the permission of the organizer and only stylized. That is, from 3 meters it is the Order of the Red Banner, closer we see a slightly smaller size, and inside it says “Battlefield 2017”.

I personally put on a reward when appropriate, wearing one reward. And then, if an ordinary, then I don’t put on a fight at all. If I win back the victorious soldier who returned from the front after the victory, then 1-2 soldiers’s awards. And all the trinkets I never hang. "

Actually, here. Everything is very well formulated and gives a complete picture for understanding.

That is, anyone who wants to can wear anything. Self-regulation, so to speak. And effective, because today it’s difficult for me to imagine a person in a reconstruction environment who will carry two metals on himself. They will dishonor their own.

If you think about it, there is nothing like this here, except for this very similarity. You look at the medal - it seems to be taking Vienna. Point blank - nothing like that.



It is very difficult to determine the line of reason in this case. On the one hand - it seems like a good idea, and nobody touches real awards, on the other - this similarity has plunged and will plunge into fury those who understand this.

That's it, we finish with the reenactors before the end of the material and move on to the answer to the question that always worried those who have a mind. That is: what to do?

And everything is very simple. So that no one worries and does not fall into a righteous rage, you just need to make sure that everyone does not care.

And to do it is very simple. Easier than anyone ever thinks.

It is necessary that no one pay attention to a person with rewards in a uniform / jacket. Whatever it is, even the Hero of Russia.

Although everything is already normal with the Hero of Labor of Russia, after the merits of Mr. Rotenberg. Work, so to speak, is underway.



However, the Hero of Russia Sergey Vladimirovich Kiriyenko also, except for a crooked smirk, causes nothing.

Hero of the Russian Federation (Hero of Russia - an unofficial version of the name) - the state award of the Russian Federation - the highest rank awarded for services to the state and people associated with the performance of a heroic feat.

What the heroic feat of Mr. Kirienko was, we obviously will never know.

How the discrediting of the order and medals of the order "For Merit to the Fatherland" is in full swing. They reward everyone ... They just reward everyone.

Citizens of Finland, for example, Ksenia Frank and Elena Timchenko. Order of Friendship. The daughter and wife of the most famous person in the country, Gennady Timchenko. Citizenship of Mrs. Frank does not prevent the latter from working in various structures under the President of Russia.

Medals for the Order of Merit to the Fatherland are distributed to rappers and pop singers, bloggers of both sexes, designers and fashion designers. The medal “For participation in the military operation in Syria” was awarded not only to those who fought and offered cartridges, but also to numerous artists who came with concerts.

For comparison, just for comparison: Lev Leshchenko, who skated in parts in Afghanistan from 1982 to 1989 and gave more than one hundred concerts there, was not awarded a military award. Order of the Badge of Honor.


The list of winners can be continued indefinitely. But there are all "their", so there is nothing, there is no sense.

However, there is one more point.

Education of the younger generations.

In general, the awarding of all the space on a uniform, tunic or jacket is an obligatory attribute of a totalitarian state. And here we also have complete order. Cadet schools, cadet corps, Cossack schools and corps work tirelessly in that field.








There is nothing to comment on. Everything, as they say, is in the photo.

But then what? And then these cadets, Cossacks and Suvorov troops will have a service. Well, with the majority. And immunity to metal tinkling on a tunic. And dozens of products from the assortment of “order products”, which are annually produced by the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Russian Guard, the Federal Security Service, the Federal Security Service, the Federal Penitentiary Service and other government agencies.

And of course, without "help" from public organizations in any way. There, starting with the strangest products from the Communist Party, which are essentially the same as the “medals” of the reenactors, and in fact became the first alterations in the history of the country.

About the Cossacks, as they say, "Hussars, keep quiet !!!"

Total And what is the “total”? And we have a very peculiar situation in the country.

The state stamps medals at an accelerated pace (the Ministry of Defense introduced 2012 departmental awards from 2020 to 53) and distribute them at the same pace. Let not everyone, but everyone who has the opportunity to receive.

Public organizations ... You know, just go to the site of an enterprise such as Chelznak to assess the scale of production. There are thousands of “orders” and medals for all occasions.

And even today you cannot really figure out (without being a specialist) where the state award is, where the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, where else what public organization. And it will only get worse, because the youngest carriers of Soviet awards, that is, the "Afghans", today are all 50 years old and older.




Soon they will be lost completely against the backdrop of a sparkling waterfall that adorns modern media.

What can I say, in the near future, if nothing changes in the policy of victory by May 9, we are doomed to the mass appearance of "reenactors of veterans of the Great Patriotic War."

That is, those who are today called "mummers." Who is laughed at and to whom the inconclusive statements to the authorities are written.

Soon real veterans of that war will go down in history. All. Ascribed to themselves years, sons of regiments, that's all. The idea that we can get to this does not give me real peace of mind. Before the reconstruction of the Great Patriotic War veterans. But everything tells us that we have a lot ahead and everything is moving towards that.

After all, the state itself encourages and arranges premium lawlessness. Moreover, without reporting specifically what heroic deeds of the same kind were accomplished by the same gentlemen Kiriyenko and Shoigu. Say I'm clinging? Sorry, that’s what the award’s statute says. Heroic feat! Where??? When???

Discrediting, followed by depreciation in the eyes of everyone and everything. Not the most beautiful future, is it? But the other is somehow not observed.

And now, in fact, the finale. And back to the reenactors.

I confess that, communicating with my voluntary assistants (once again, special thanks for the educational program to Elena and Dmitry), and then studying the topic, I very much changed my opinion on this issue.

I am sure that the reenactors will be surprised most of all now.

My conclusion is this: in a good way, the whole community of reenactors needs to think carefully about the fact that after a while, quite, incidentally, a little, they will remain the only custodians of the “correct” appearance of the victorious soldiers.

Therefore, it would be better to leave aside these badges in the style of the Communist Party, incomprehensible and inaudible, and for reconstruction, yes, it is during the reconstruction to use copies of these awards. In accordance with the reconstruction time.

In the end, I personally do not see anything wrong with that. If we accept that the re-enactor is an artist, an actor, depicting a soldier or officer of the Great Patriotic War or World War II, in the form and equipment as close as possible to the original, then why instead of awards corresponding to the era, you have to cling to it, don’t understand what?

I emphasize very boldly: only at events.

All other club meetings, rehearsals, civic events are best done without entourage at all.

Here is a soldier. Here is his form, here is his weapon. And here are his rewards.

And yes, I will allow myself to imagine that in 10 years, when there will definitely be no more veterans, it is precisely these people who will tell their children by example that this order in the form of a star was paid in blood. The same red.

And this is great, because bloggers, businessmen, rappers and others will never tell anyone how their rewards were paid. How will we never know what feat Hero of Russia Kiriyenko accomplished.

Therefore, I do not see anything shameful in applying (that is) as the props of copies of USSR awards by the rectors. On the contrary, one good. Credibility. And if for each award a person knows by heart its history, statute, the number of recipients, then in general.

Since, in essence, reenactors are actually keepers of history, no matter how inconsistent this community is (yes, there is something to criticize for), in fact, only they are those who can really show in the future “how it was” .

Well, not in the end, after all, count on the Russian Ministry of Culturelessness?

And as one historical character said: “To keep is an honorable thing too ...”

This is the kind of thinking. To the anger of the day and with one single piece of advice to the reenactors: you should think and give up Zyuganov’s practice of sculpting, don’t understand anything on the basis of old Soviet awards.

Well, if you comply - so in full. It will not be worse.

P.S. Perhaps I disappointed the people who wrote to us. Sorry, but this is an investigation. And against the background of what is happening in the country as a whole, the reenactors are far from the most harmful part of our society. And in my opinion - very useful. Although not the easiest to communicate often.

    Who needs these fake orders and medals? Now such a fashion, every fourth in a general's uniform, his chest is full of some kind of awards. And when you ask what for the order and for what he received, they rush to shout: "I shed blood in the war! Provacator, scoundrel!" .. And he himself is no more than 70 years old ..

          Why not? Your grandfather exaggerated somewhat. My father had "Courage", to which in the 70s, perhaps, was added "Patriotic War" II degree - they were given to those who survived, "For the defense of the Caucasus", "For the capture of Budapest", "For the victory over Germany" , jubilee medals (20, 30, 40 years of Victory) and "Badge of Honor" for civic activities. In my opinion, there is nothing of the evil here.

        Just a return to the traditions of a hundred years ago. When a handful of orders were automatically attached to the post. The only difference is that at least then there were purely military awards that you won’t get in your office. And with us ... And with us it’s not that the gunpowder was not sniffed, but simply that a deviator from the service can become a Hero of Russia. Oh how. Alas and ah.

          In the Empire, at first, officers could even receive "George" for length of service: 25 years in the field service or 18 campaigns in the sea. In 1833, the condition of participation in at least one battle was added to this category, and in 1855 it was canceled altogether.

By the way, even from abroad, former Cadets came to Russia, who ended up abroad after the revolution, and completed their studies there, but always remembered that they were Russian people and honored their traditions. They even passed a ceremonial parade, and they were over eighty.

One of them now maintains contact with the Russian cadets of foreign countries, it was they who first studied at cadet schools, then to enter the cadet or military school.
                  Learn at least this to get you started:
                  After October 1917, at the beginning of the Civil War, some cadet corps were disbanded, and some of them were forced to leave Russia *. Many graduate cadets went to the front of the Civil War and fought in parts of the White Army. Younger cadets were evacuated from the country through the Crimea and the Far East. Cadet corpses rescued from destruction continued their work in the countries of the Russian scattering - in China, Tunisia, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Part of the buildings was subsequently closed, some were disbanded and redistributed by the pupils in other buildings. In 1930, in France, in Versailles, the new Corps-Lyceum of Emperor Nicholas II was established, which lasted until 1964.

        A medal is a sign differences(not to mention the order). A reward for any outstanding deed. What heroic did these guys manage to accomplish? Let's then introduce the medals "For the end of the 6th grade (7th, 8th, etc.)" at school. By the way, in the army, the medal "For N Years of Impeccable Service" does not enjoy special respect, it is called "For Sand". It's time - get it! There is a rhyme among the officers:
        And on his mighty chest
        Solid, in several rows
        One medal hung in a bunch
        And that - for the length of service!

          There are no military awards on officers and warrant officers, only for seniority and anniversary, plus badges, which in decent parts, were allowed to be worn only when the uniform was out of order.
          Compare the captain, in the 10th year of service, taking into account the time spent at the school (he did not serve for 10 full years, the first "sand" is absent) with one medal "70 years of the USSR Armed Forces" and an 11th grade student of the SVU with 2 MEDALS. A civilian knows little about this, for him a person with 4 medals of a parade participant is a more honored soldier than a serviceman with one medal "For Courage".

      Undoubtedly. But the funny thing is, Putin himself does not carry any awards, in principle. But to his friends, artists, singers, as well as their wives, children, etc. distributes the highest state awards right and left. The question is, why? And the answer is actually obvious. Many rulers resorted to this. Thus, he bribes their loyalty to themselves. Those. for him, as for many authoritarian rulers, personal loyalty is far above the interests of the country.

Mom has been engaged in souvenirs and antiques for many years, and I saw everything and even what cannot be seen. Why do you mix military awards and peacetime awards, and this is fundamentally wrong. Well, let's just say that. my father had a lot of things in the days of the Union. but 90 percent of all these were anniversary. there so many years the Armed Forces and so on. on years. was some kind of German which was given to the GSVG. and there was a bunch of everything. The crab and the coffin were also worn. and it was worn by everyone. people who were not connected with the army did not understand, then and now, what kind of awards they were and all the time they asked why there were a lot of them and for what. besides, awards and anniversaries are rarely worn and everything can be fully understood by the planks.

        For this, they invented the Order of Honor, the Order of Friendship, "For Services to the Fatherland without Swords" and a number of peace medals. In Soviet times, even the military was given "civilian" awards for peaceful accomplishments. We had a major with the Order of the Badge of Honor, valiantly on the "virgin soil", as they said, he worked hard and deservedly received it. And this is not "For Service to the Motherland in the USSR Armed Forces." The man was respected and not teased for the civil order.

                But this, by the way, does not mean that people are indifferent to veterans.
                But the fact that all sorts of public badges imitate military state awards as much as possible is bad because in the eyes of people the presence of awards ceases to be a sign of a person’s merits.

    But to wear even copies of real orders, the law prevents. We have to get hungry.

      Why are there so many minuses? Find ten differences, here's what we retype on our sites:
      “Russia is showing a schizophrenic reaction to the coronavirus. Back in March, prominent physicians claimed on state television that the United States wanted to use the virus as a biological weapon against China, but its effect was weak. (...) But when the number of those infected jumped, President Vladimir Putin announced "non-working days" - with full preservation of payments from employers, who, however, did not receive any support from the state.
      Putin from time to time makes unfounded speeches to the population. He puts the burden of making specific decisions on local rulers, four of whom have already resigned: the governors of the Komi Republic, Kamchatka Territory, the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the Arkhangelsk Region - not to mention the numerous heads of departments responsible for healthcare. "
      Putin wants to avoid responsibility for making decisions during the coronavirus crisis and is showing himself as a kind, understanding ruler. It is noteworthy that he recently addressed the Russians with the words "my dears." This reminded many commentators of Stalin's surprise "Brothers and Sisters" address in July 1941, shortly after the German attack. Putin asked citizens to be patient a little longer. When it became clear that people did not expect kind words from the state, but money, he spoke about modest payments to families with children and companies that did not lay off employees during the epidemic. However, the bureaucratic hurdles are great. None of my acquaintances who have requested such assistance have been successful, "
      On May 11, we reached the next stage of schizophrenia, continues Ganieva. - Putin announced the end of "non-working days". (...) Many heads of companies call their employees to work right now, when Russia has come to the second place in the world in terms of the number of people infected with coronavirus - even if it is impossible to maintain the minimum distance at the workplace or one of the employees has recently been sick. This reminds of Russian fairy tales, where a hero stands at a crossroads: if you go to work, the state will punish you; if you don't go to work, your boss will punish you. Many people I know take sick leave or unpaid leave. "
      "Hospitals are overcrowded, many of them lack protective equipment and test systems. But we add a lie to this. With a quarter of a million people infected, only 2 deaths are known, in an international comparison this is a surprisingly low percentage. Probably, the data is manipulated. and doctors, who are prohibited from providing information, are silent, Ganieva believes.
      Well and further in the same vein, I do not post comments anyway they will be deleted.

    I'll try to express my opinion - Wearing a uniform from the times of the Second World War during reconstructions, concerts, films and other performances is quite normal, as are the replicas of military awards required according to the script. This is an action limited in time to a maximum of hours. I think it is also useful that people during the Immortal Regiment wear the old-style uniform and again either replicas or awards left over from veterans. For example, in foreign countries.This year, for example, in Chicago, a motor rally was held instead of the BP, there were many people in the uniform of the Red Army, with portraits in the parking lots, some donned grandfathers awards, sang songs of the war years. This is the popularization of the real history of Russia, which is so lacking in the West. Americans approached the participants of the rally, were interested, even took part a little. The video was sent to me - it went very heartily and touchingly. I think this business is useful and correct. That is, if a person puts on a uniform and awards or their replicas on Victory Day, this is one thing. If some clowns flaunt it all the time (especially newly minted Cossacks of all stripes, White Guards, etc.), this is different. now about the awards of modern Russia. Here you should approach the matter without unnecessary emotions and with the involvement of specialists in military heraldry (?). To be honest, the mass of trinkets reduces their importance, I know from myself and my family that the stock is big, but there are two real awards. Well, about Kiriyenko - the general public doesn't know a lot, but my friends from "military science" say that he is a man who has done a lot. Of course, it would be more logical to award the Hero of Labor, but I don’t remember if there was already such a status. To be honest, for me remakes even of the 80s and beyond do not seem to "sound". Grandfather was a Knight of St. George for PMA, of course. But why is this order revived now? What's wrong with "Slava"? "Krasnaya Zvezda? Well, I can still understand" The Order of Lenin "does not" sound "now, but I think (this is my personal opinion) that the haste and stupidity was to throw away the well-deserved and respected military awards at once and replace them with remakes without a glorious military history.

Without showing off, just for clarity, he himself has only 'sand' (length of service), and on the wall hangs a clock solemnly awarded for 'direct participation in the destruction of illegal armed groups in a mountainous and wooded area, in the winter period'.

In the pictures, your peers with tsatskas, in the 80s you put on medals (sand), who were older than those who were so jubilee for 550 years of the Kulikovo battle clung to a tunic, and in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation what age did you give out uncles and aunts with an umalatov at the head of the order? And who gave the order to Juna? Young people? You got what the samit deserve. Shoigu - what should he do? with a badge gto 2 degrees go? Rotenberg headed and leads Mostotrest and received the Hero for the unique Crimean bridge, in your time when something was being built and the beginning buildings of the Hero of Social Work were hung up, was that not the norm? And Kiriyenko received the Hero as the head of Rosatom, and precisely because he brought order there by overthrowing corrupt old-timers and fulfilling the order of the Motherland, we are talking about new vigorous warheads, i.e. when under the USSR, in the general machine building industry, Heroes were given - this is good, but now - no.

Secondly, if you knew even a little military history, then you would know that there was a time when state awards were given for length of service in the Red Army, so at a later time, on the contrary, the status of length of service awards was lowered.

Still - after all, it was interpreted as "restoration of historical justice" ....... and they wore 7 anniversary medals of the Great Patriotic War and the Armed Forces, if the Zhukov medal is counted.

          The medal "In memory of the war of 1853-1856" is a mass highly approved award of the Russian Empire. It was established to mark the end of the Crimean War (1853-1856) and on the occasion of the coronation of Alexander II.

    Correct article! The trinket chaos has been infuriating for a long time! But the discrediting of awards did not begin with the advent of Shoigu, a lover of all things brilliant, as Minister of Defense. Although in this matter he will soon surpass Boezhnev. And even in Soviet times. When, starting from the 25th anniversary, every 5 years a jubilee medal was hung on the chest of veterans in honor of the anniversary of the Victory. You look at the chest of a veteran, and he has real military awards throughout the day... And how indignant the real warriors were when, on the 40th anniversary of the Victory, all (!) participants in the war were awarded the Order of the Patriotic War, II degree. Thereby devaluing it to the level of a jubilee medal. The same thing happened in modern Russia with the Zhukov medal, which was also awarded to each participant in the war. Some people, at that time, shed blood and risked their lives for this award in Chechnya, while others were given it because they were a participant in the Second World War. It’s good, at least they thought of making the veteran’s medals non-numbered. But this is little consolation.
    In addition to the veterans' jubilee medals, there were also commemorative medals of the USSR Armed Forces every 10 years, which were awarded to both military personnel and veterans. It is worth remembering the medal “100 years of V.I. Lenin”.
    Well, in “sovereign” Russia things started to go... Hypertrophied! A medal, not a badge, for participating in the parade on Red Square. A medal for the chest, not a desk medal, for excellent completion of an educational institution. Well, then for any reason, a medal. So teenagers appeared with jewelry on their chests, the number of which they can compare with the ace heroes of the Second World War.
    And I still remember how proud I was of my cousin’s Order of the Red Star. After all, he was a scout and was wounded behind the front line... That’s why he received the order. But my own grandfather, a wounded and disabled man, was proud of one medal “For the Defense of Leningrad,” where he was crippled in October 1941. But another relative of mine went through two years in Afghanistan without any awards. Well, I didn’t do anything heroic, although I served honestly. And that's okay.
    Well, now decorating breasts is just some kind of madness. And it started with the anniversary medals of the USSR.
    I will not say anything about awarding real and significant state awards to “great” Russians for their “greatest” merits.

    He wore a cap in the army, the same as my grandfathers wore in WWII.

    I bought these for my grandchildren and they wear them on May 9 with pleasure and, accordingly, will know how to wear them great-great-grandfathers looked, I don’t see anything wrong with it.

    The awards of that war, of course, are sacred; they should only be carefully preserved. By the way, when my grandfather died, the military registration and enlistment office tried to take away the awards, supposedly that was the law. They didn't give it away....

    It’s possible, probably like this: I saw on the immortal regiment, women carried portraits of their fathers and on the pillow under them were their awards.

    But I won't do it myself...

    "It's time to end this comedy" ... I agree. You just need to start with where the legs grow from. More precisely, with those at the highest level. They drove the statute of state awards under the plinth.

    Removed from the tongue. And what does it have to do with the kid in the Suvorov uniform, if the statute of the anniversary school medal provides for the possibility of awarding him. Not “for completing grades 6-8”, but an anniversary medal of the educational institution

    The reward system, as one of the comrades already wrote, has, if not 100%, then degraded. Hence the “iconostases”. It is necessary to restore order not only in the award system, but also in the release of “copies/replicas”. Then maybe there will be fewer people willing to wear all these (sorry) “trinkets.” Me always. again, I apologize to the bigwigs from our Cossacks. He is 25-30 years old, and has more awards on his chest than my father had after the end of the war. Moreover, some awards are already much more than 100 years old. It’s the same as if I wore my father’s awards received at the front (to which I have no rights)

    The novel, of course, raised a rather serious topic, although it is not clear why he took up arms against girls in uniform and with awards? And if they are the same reenactors or participants in a theatrical performance. Even if not completely theatrical. Laying flowers or wreaths can hardly be called theater, but nevertheless, I honestly don’t see anything wrong with the fact that he (she) participated in such laying in uniform and with “copies” of awards.
    On my shelf now is the now probably rare edition of “Orders and Medals of the USSR” (issued in the late 80s). So there is not only a description of these awards, but also their status. What they gave for and in what cases. Now, many awards can go to the showman, incl.

    About Kiriyenko. There were rumors that he, as the head of Rosatom, was awarded for creating, well, let’s say the “heart” of the same “Burevestnik” and “Poseidon”. The question is different. It was very easy to destroy the USSR award system. The titles “Hero of the Soviet Union” and “Hero of Socialist Labor” were like a sickle to the then leadership of Russia for you know what. Well, the titles “Hero of the Soviet Union” and “Hero of Socialist Labor” were removed. Instead of the first award, a new one was created - “Hero of Russia.” And Is there now an analogue of the GTS called "Hero of Labor" or "Hero of Labor of Russia". Then the awarding of Kiriyenko and others, whose activities are not related to the achievement of a feat, would be appreciated as it should be. Look at our General and Chief Designers in the USSR. Higher the award was “Hero of Socialist Labor”.

    I would generally prohibit the wearing of any awards other than personal military awards at public events.

    Not the best option. And if a person has a medal “For Labor Valor” or the Order of the “Red Banner of Labor” (or the Order of the Badge of Honor) from the times of the USSR and he has earned these awards, why shouldn’t he “hide” these awards at public events? In addition, people of science receive awards for what they have done, the same athletes for outstanding achievements...

    with such an attitude towards the Holiday they devalue the merits of our ancestors. Unfortunately, every year more and more this Day turns into a masquerade ball, with strippers in military uniform and underpants (as I see this on the Internet, I can’t help but clench my fists with anger), with mummers in military uniform and orders (although you can tell by age, that they were born in the 50s), with drawings on cars and idiotic expressions like “we can repeat it,” etc. This day was supposed to become sacred, sacred in its essence. As in ancient Sparta, a representative elite Only a free citizen could become a free citizen after death in battle (now we see how this word has lost its sacred meaning and black marketeers and moneylenders have joined the elite), and joining this Day should have been a sacred act. This is the only way to preserve and convey the full meaning of the Achievements of our ancestors to our descendants.

    Since, at their core, reenactors are actually keepers of history, And how is it that in Soviet times we knew how the soldiers of Suvorov, Kutuzov, Brusilov were dressed, without the mummers? Maybe from films in which there were military consultants? Maybe from school textbooks? Roman, excuse me, but your articles lately have looked like some kind of “revitalization” of the site - either monuments to Krasnov, or reenactors saving historical memory. Are you throwing up some firewood?

      In fact, the panorama of the Battle of Borodino was completely restored after the Great Patriotic War, and already in 1962 it was opened in Moscow on Kutuzovsky Prospekt in a new building.

      Of course, as a class we watched Bondarchuk’s “War and Peace”, the film “Walking Through Torment”, and later “His Excellency’s Adjutant”, “Days of the Turbins” on TV. So we had an idea of ​​the form in which our ancestors fought - or rather, those who were seriously interested in this could see all this in the form of paintings by artists, illustrations of books and in films.

    Kiriyenko was in vain mentioned, one of very few who deserved it, honestly and directly. But if they give the same to Rogozin, then oh.
    And yes, as for the reconstruction of the Second World War, we need to wait at least until 100 years. Many are still alive.

    Unfortunately, every year more and more this Day turns into a masquerade ball, with strippers in military uniform and shorts

    Structures such as the ministry (or department) of culture in a particular subject of the federation are primarily to blame for this. Because for any action (except striptease, of course) a script is written, which is first approved, and then must be strictly executed. Strippers are most likely from the repertoire of some nightclub (it’s unlikely that anything can be done there in any case, the owner is in charge there). And everything in open areas is under control. And if a holiday turns into a masquerade ball, then there are always “extremes”...

    I apologize, Sergei, but are you sure that in Soviet times we knew how the soldiers of Suvorov or Kutuzov, Brusilov were dressed?? Even then this was the lot of very few people. Another thing is that back then there were always consultants in films, so there were minimal mistakes. What about everyone else? Well, offhand, how did the uniform of the hussars of the Lubensky Hussar Regiment differ from the uniform of the Mariupol Hussar Regiment? I think even now not so many people will name the differences. Perhaps only reenactors and those who are interested in uniforms... But reenactors did and are doing a great job. Each club sometimes has its own era, which is unknown to us.
    And yet they should not be called mummers. But Madame in a general’s uniform with the Gold Star of the Hero of the Soviet Union, Hero of Social Labor, three Orders of the Patriotic War and without the medal “For Victory over Germany” - she, like others like them, are really mummers.

    " How we will never know what feat Hero of Russia Kiriyenko accomplished. "

    He accomplished the greatest feat of all times and peoples - was close to Putin!
    I wonder if it is written in the register of his award that the basis for receiving it is proximity to Putin?

    P.S. Perhaps I disappointed the people who wrote to us. Sorry, but this is an investigation. And against the background of what is happening in the country as a whole, the reenactors are far from the most harmful part of our society. And in my opinion - very useful. Although not the easiest to communicate often.

    I think that you have run out of steam and started reproducing your old articles, correcting them a little. Didn't you write this last June, using the same material:
    "Ryazhenka" in all levels from the bottom to the top. Legalized and merciless. But then the last and fair question: what remains for us to respect in this situation?
    Is it only the opportunity to get up and buy everything: the position, uniform, and awards.
    The logical outcome in this case.

    Real awards are depreciated with so much anniversary tinsel.
    For reenactors, I consider copies acceptable for display, no originals.
    For grandchildren/great-grandchildren on a pillow with a photo of the hero.
    I believe that real awards should be clearly distinguished from signs like “for participation...” and from anniversary awards. Are anniversary awards really necessary?!
