The country's flag and anthem are mental tanks and cannons

The flag of the country is the symbol with which the soldiers go into battle and which represents the territory of the country. No wonder it is the flag that denotes the capture of an enemy fortress.

Where the ice is smoother - is there home?

The anthem is the same symbol of the country.

It is no coincidence that during the performance of the anthem it is necessary to stand up and listen to it while standing.
Many people in modern "tolerant" times may think that such things are outdated.

Like, why all this now?

Where the back is warm - there is the homeland! There are some.

But the hymn, the flag and the feelings associated with these symbols are weapons... The same as Tanks, cannons, planes, or rockets. A tank will not fire, a machine gun will not shoot and a rocket will not take off without the will of a fighter who wants to defend his homeland.

The morale of the troops is the most important part of ensuring combat effectiveness.
But it is impossible to take a person from civilian life and instill in him patriotism, if this has not been partially done before the army.

But how can this be done if this is the attitude towards the symbols of the country?

We don't mind. We refuse. Just let go for a ride to Europe

I am reading a note on Euronews today "Russian athletes will be awarded under Tchaikovsky":

“The International Skating Union does not object to the use of Pyotr Tchaikovsky's music as an anthem by Russian figure skaters at the World Championships.

Earlier, the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) offered the International Skating Union a fragment from Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 as a musical accompaniment to the awards ceremony for Russian figure skaters at the World Championship, which will be held from March 22 to March 28 in Stockholm. "

Honestly, I rubbed my eyes when I saw this news.

How so?

If you are an athlete of Russia, you must play under the flag of your country. And listen to her hymn if you won.

And if not, then why, in general, perform?

For money?

Okay, then perform under your personal name. Under the flag of their sponsor. Or else under something.

I cannot imagine that Soviet athletes would sink to such a shame.

More to say, it is impossible to imagine that, for example, American athletes would agree to compete on such conditions. Well, maybe once. And then after that, their career in the United States would be over forever.

After all, the anthem and the flag are the mental weapons of states.

And if today we allow the Europeans to humiliate our main symbols like that, then we are worthless. So we are weak?

Then tomorrow no tanks and no guns and missiles of any kind will help us, alas.

Sport is a battle. So giving up the anthem of your own country means simply giving up.

And there is no need to hide behind all sorts of European conventions.

Let's call everything by their proper names.

This is weakness, shame, humiliation. And retreat without a fight.

Defeat without a fight.

This is not worthy of a Great Country.

Tomorrow Europeans will offer our FFKKR to abandon the word Russia. So what? Will those again, without hesitation, agree?

This is no longer a sporting struggle and competition, but the pursuit of purely selfish interests.

Agree, it's just a matter of price.

You refuse (from the anthem, flag, Motherland, Russian language and any other EU requirements). And only then will Europe let you go for a ride.

Then what else are the Russian FFKKR-sheep ready to sacrifice for the right to run once or twice on purely European ice?

Really everyone?

Alternative way

Wouldn't it be better to start completely new sports federations right now?

And new Russian-Asian championships?

Where will our athletes compete on equal terms and honestly with representatives of other countries? And everything will be fair: with the anthem and flag of our country?

Instead of refusal indulgences for entering Euro Ice, the construction of a new sports reality of the XNUMXst century should begin right now.

In such a case, a leader is needed. And Russia is capable of becoming one right now, without delay.

Is not it?

1. Generally I am surprised why the anthem after 1991 was not made "We walk in wide fields ...".

Tolley memory fails you, or you are young, guy.

As soon as the border was opened, the "Soviet athletes" rushed over the hill for the dough.
Hockey players, football players elbowed each other = each other trying on the uniform of foreign clubs.

The athletes are not the problem.

The problem is in the management of sports.

Apparently, modern sports officials are interested in the degradation of our country.


And to hang this problem on athletes is a search for a scapegoat.

Remember how many scientists left, how many workers left factories.

Either organize your own competitions and support the interest of your own people, or what we have.

We are reviving science. We are restoring the factories.

Apparently it's time for sports.
We need officials who understand the problem and want to see Russian flags on the stands and listen to the Russian anthem at the beginning and at the end of the competition.

"Comrades, let me raise one more, last toast. I would like to raise a toast to the health of our Soviet people and, above all, the Russian people

I drink, above all, for the health of the Russian people because it is the most prominent nation of all the nations that make up the Soviet Union.

I am making a toast to the health of the Russian people because he deserved general recognition in this war as the leading force of the Soviet Union among all the peoples of our country.

I make a toast to the health of the Russian people, not only because they are the leading people, but also because they have a clear mind, strong character and patience.

Our government had many mistakes, we had moments of desperate situation in 1941-1942, when our army retreated, left our native villages and cities of Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, the Leningrad region, the Baltic states, the Karelo-Finnish Republic, left, because there was no other way out. Another people could tell the Government: you did not live up to our expectations, go away, we will install another government that will make peace with Germany and provide us with peace.

But the Russian people did not agree to this, for they believed in the correctness of the policy of their Government and made sacrifices to ensure the defeat of Germany.

And this confidence of the Russian people in the Soviet government turned out to be the decisive force that ensured the historic victory over the enemy of humanity - over fascism.

Thanks to him, the Russian people, for this trust! To the health of the Russian people!

Comrade Stalin I.V. at a meeting on this issue, I asked the then sports functionaries whether they guarantee a successful and powerful performance of Soviet athletes in the tournament. They did not give such guarantees. It had to be postponed until 1952. Well, about friendly matches of football players with the Basques and Turks, I think it is possible and not to mention.

Of course they will agree, if only the money is paid. Officials from sports are those who did not come to defend the interests of the country, but to cut the budget on such "trifles" as the flag and the anthem, they deeply care ...

[Keith Richards]

In fact, we already had our own games. One of the most shameful moments in the history of Russian sports. It was there that those who were really for the loot, and not for the idea, came to light.

In the same year, this was carried out when an armful of winter roads were not allowed to participate in Korea. An alternative game called this. It was held within the framework of open domestic championships of Russia in various sports. Under "open" there was only one name. Among the foreign participants were a couple of Belarusians in biathlon and a Latinos-clown in skiing (I don't remember who exactly was there, in general, one of those Latinos who constantly disgrace their absolute inability to ski in qualifications for major starts, you can google, for example, Adrian Solano .. although I'm not sure if it was him).


The prize money at these starts was equal to the payment of prize money for medals at the Olympics. And considering how we like to praise the Olympic medalists, they paid a lot. As a result, it turned out that at these starts some athletes, often even second-rate ones, raised more prize money than the leaders of their sport for the whole season. Of course, those who were allowed to go to the Olympic Games by the IOC received several times less for Korea than their teammates at alternative starts.
I hope you understand what the "level" of competition was.

The only sport that was not eager to squirt about these so-called. "their games" - skis. Almost everyone participated in 1 maximum of two starts. One generally distinguished himself (Ustyugov), at that time the leader of world skiing. He ran the race on foot, finishing in 70th place. And a day later, in a race that was not part of these scruffy games, he took first place. Apparently the guys did not want to bypass Bolshunov, the hero of the Olympic Games in Korea.

Let me ask you, at whose expense the banquet? If the state does not participate, then please, but if the merit of the state in Achievements and Records is undeniable, then the alignment is completely different. Records in domestic competitions will remain Records and spit on the World arena. And will foreign athletes feel like champions, knowing that their golden achievements do not reach our domestic ones, and they are champions only because our athletes did not participate in competitions? We must learn to respect ourselves, not looking back at the "world community", then, and only then, we will begin to be respected on the world stage.

[Hunter 2]

You are probably not in the know about sports (high achievements). But ... on the other hand, you can hang labels beautifully.

Wife, 24 times CHR, 2 times (1st and 2nd places) CHE in swimming, I know what I'm writing about ... what are the internal achievements ??? With whom will you put them to compete ??? Only in adequate sports competition can a Champion (nku) be raised.

[andrew42]

"Sport of high achievements" is no longer Physical Culture. A couple of decades more, and cyborgs will ride on the Alempeads. Physical culture is when healthy, physically developed children grow up in every yard, who intend to lead a healthy lifestyle. One way or another, but any Champions first of all amuse their own ego, secondly they go after the Prize, and whether they understand themselves as representatives of the Country or not, this is already the personal attitude of each person-athlete. With the ideology of Bubble supremacy and Individual "success" there is nothing to be surprised at. Most of the "unfortunate" sportsmen, if they got in 1936, would have dashingly jumped to Munich to entertain Hitler in the arenas. A good question about sponsorship: if you refuse state symbols, there is no state support, look for a private trader, and yourself, yourself ... Even under Tchaikovsky, even under Mendelssohn.

The author was afraid even to name out loud the reason why Russian athletes are forced to endure all this disgrace. Moreover, those athletes who are not guilty of anything. Those caught doping have already been punished by disqualification, some forever, some for years, which is actually the same thing. Their best years will be spent outside of big-time sports. For it is said:

For the sake of fairness, I note that I don't blame them. Not of their own free will, they ruined their health by taking drugs unlawful by the federations. Officials from sports should be punished for demanding new and new results from them.

Just an athlete is also a profession. And to become a high-class professional, you have to work hard from childhood. Sacrificing a lot. And then suddenly a person is told that the state of which he is a citizen, to put it mildly, has done well, so if he is a patriot of this state, he must give up everything and start from scratch. How he will do it, his problems.

And what do you have against professional workers - specialists in production and other creative activities? Have you heard about the surgeon Svyatoslav Fedorov? He brought more benefit to his country than all the members of the Russian national team after 1991. Did you know the professional Mikhail Kalashnikov? Thanks to his machine gun, Russia is known throughout the world.
Leave today's Russian athletes (footballers in particular) to the discretion of the fans. In the USSR, sport was part of the state's prestige. In the Russian Federation, sport is part of the way to “cut the dough”.
It is for this reason that money does not smell, the music of the anthem and the color of the flag do not matter much.

This is what drives them, and no one slanders our "sports heroes".
And in general, it's somehow funny that our people are worried about the problems of millionaire athletes, who initially achieve some results at the expense of the country, and then spit on its interests, because they need to cut down the loot so that they can wipe their pants somewhere else for the rest of their lives, or not work at all. I personally don't give a damn about them at all, since they are afraid to defiantly carry our flag, as Belarusian Andrei Fomochkin did.

Nevertheless, the sport of high achievements in the USSR was also of a very good level, since at the Olympics in Helsinki our team took 2nd place in the overall standings.

3. "Heroes of sports", running, jumping and the like, "for the honor of the Motherland" - I am jarred from these words. There are real heroes who fought in Chechnya, Syria and earlier, in the Great Patriotic War ... The word "Hero" should not be vulgarized.

And where do they have achievements, besides not the most spectacular athletics? In addition, we are talking about the NewsMakers countries - the same Switzerland, where the population is very athletic in general, the Olympic achievements did not fall in figs, the image was and is being built on something else.

[Bolt cutter]

And where do they have achievements, besides not the most spectacular athletics?

Their football is at a high level. And this athletics. In Israel, the situation is also similar - instead of dancing on ice and gymnastics - high technology, science, medicine, the butts of neighbors ... Maybe this is not how these sports are needed? Or would you rather be proud of an Olympic medal than the world's best cancer center?

[Bolt cutter]

The significance of the Country is expressed (in peacetime) in the number and quality of medals won in all kinds of competitions

And not in the quality of life of the population of this country?
In Ireland, for example, there is no football, and with medals, the GDP is much higher than in Switzerland and Norway. And Usain Bolt didn’t raise their GDP in Jamaica. In Cameroon, again, the football players are great - only the people sometimes eat netti.

What do you think these guys in sweaters of the Russian national team Are you thinking about money now? At this very moment?

Keyword "in sweaters of the Russian national team".
When athletes fight for the Honor of the Country that raised them, including for its Symbols (Flag and Anthem) - in this case they are honored and respected.

And when they perform without these Symbols, they "fight" for themselves personally - for "prize" and sponsorship contracts. In this case, for me personally, they are "not interesting".

[Phil77]

Okay. Come on like this. For winning the world championship, a hockey player receives 100000 euros. For the same Malkin, Ovechkin, Kuznetsov and other guys from the NHL is it a lot of money? No, it is clear that a lot of money doesn’t happen. But ... these guys are not in the national team only for objective reasons. This is what they are fighting for.

[Phil77]

But for me personally, they are interesting / hockey players /, because in whatever form they perform, they do not cease to be OURS. And it is not their fault that the authorities cowardly * leaked * both them and the former sports glory of our country. They are nothing more than * switchmen *, as well as Mutko.
I will add that in Soviet times they paid for winning the World Cup, not millions of course, but 1500 rubles from the Sports Committee were clearly not superfluous.

[andrew42]

I agree 100%. High athletic performance does not make a person a Hero. Just a Winner to be. While you have to be a Hero. And so you can agree that the winner in poker is a hero. But it even became interesting - is the chess champion a recognized Hero, or not? Or is it just the game of muscles and the endurance of the breathing apparatus?

[tralflot1832]

Sorry, I'm a little connected with high-tech sports. You can't become an international athlete in one day. It's work, work and more work. I look at the kids, at 6 in the morning they are on the ice. And not the fact that they will achieve anything. Today's collections began their climbing to the top of the sport 10 years ago, when this "scandal" did not smell. And that they should give up their dreams. Then show an example, Putin does not like fishing. When the skaters train, we have two ambulances. And God forbid they fall , they have to look away. They get up and overcoming the pain continue to polish the eliment. The fact that officials threw on the name of VADA is not the fault of the athletes. So when a German doctor pumps Western athletes, this is pampering, and when we won the 2014 Olympics in Sochi on a medal standings, this is a crime. they in the first place of the podium at any championship do not want to let a tear of victory under the Anthem and our flag, you are deeply mistaken. I will not say who and which coach, but his skater did not roar ranse, because there were no spectators. So he scolded her, like no, here the worker is standing, pointing at me, he prepares ice for you, so that you get ready! So do it for him! They love us and are waiting for support, a cry from the stands Russia forward, this is good adrenaline for them. Let's break through, there would be victories! Hockey, a figure and skis I will look no matter what.

[Dron_sk]

I’ll tell you more - even at the World Ice Hockey Championship this year the anthem of the Russian Federation will not sound, but there will be Katyusha instead. Although neither hockey players nor skaters have ever been convicted of doping. Correctly they wrote above - it is worth bending once and then on the knurled one it is all extended to other species. On the sports portal championat.com, under similar news about hockey, I wrote a comment that we need to boycott this World Cup, because we live for the sake of emotions, and such an attitude spoils all emotions in advance even in the event of a victorious World Cup, because athletes represent the country at international competitions. It is impossible to fully represent the country without the anthem. A hymn is a hymn. And even worse is the attitude of the West towards our country, so why take part in such tournaments with such an attitude?
On that portal, this comment of mine was removed. Because journalists will lose a significant part of their profits in the event of a boycott of the World Cup, the TV channels that have already paid for broadcasting the World Cup will lose even more. So it looks like they are ready to humiliate themselves further for money ...

Tell me who is to blame in this particular case, athletes or careless bureaucrats? It is easiest to blame athletes for all sins. It's easy.

[andrew42]

It's really simple. Without the widespread development of physical culture in the country, which is the basis of the National Sports, no "international" sports are needed. Otherwise, the so-called "international sport" is a feast during the plague, a feeder for those who like to "live beautifully" and a "satisfactory" for those who want to become winners of the "coolest" of their kind (although I admit that the latter is good and evil at the same time, depending on what background) ..

[Phil77]

Dear Andrey! But you must agree that physical education is everyone's business. Some people are interested in playing the ball, the puck in the yard. Others are quite the opposite. But the sport of the highest achievements was, is and will be. And yes! He is professional, in fact, he was such even in Soviet time. It's just that there were free sections for boys and girls, which is very good. Do you agree with this? I repeat, now they make some servants of evil from athletes. There are, of course, amazing creatures like Kokorin, Mamaev, Tarasov from among them. There are few of them? There are many more to be proud of. No?

I remembered the run-up to the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Games. I'm driving late from work, listening to Radio KP. There, the invited Norkins frolic on the air: they broadcast about how we need to understand and support our athletes, they squeeze a tear, Guberniev was crucified, Rodnin was being interviewed, oh wey, the kids will suffer in vain, they worked so much! In parallel, there was a survey: to go or not to go. 75 or 76 percent of respondents (calls, sms, and other channels) sent answers DON'T GO! How the Norkins howled pitifully at the entire Russian radio air - yes, it is also impossible, but what is it, but people do not understand. It really became a pity for these propagandists-explanators - they did not work out their gesheft. But it also became scary: how many figures are feeding around these games! And in fact they do not care about the Country.

That's right: the king was the first to chicken out and agree with his lousy and corrupt environment at all levels.

It is absolutely easy for the country to do without world champions in any sport. Just as easy as it can do without a lot of singers, actors and other showmen. A simple example last year was the Winter Olympics in Tokyo. Did anyone other than the athletes notice her absence?
But the country cannot do without doctors, engineers and teachers. And without those coaches who will teach kids at school to play football is also not very good. Because simple sports and physical education are the health of the population. And watching a football match in the stands while drinking beer on the contrary.

[Fat]

Do nothing! The frankly weak decided to hide behind bad politics. It won't end well. It will be ridiculous for me to hear the state anthem in honor of a transvestite. The winner of the women's championship. Be proud, partners, of freaks. Which only has a place on the password, limited opportunities in all their artificial glory. And it gets dirty too.

The International Skating Union does not object to the use of Pyotr Tchaikovsky's music as an anthem by Russian figure skaters at the World Championships.

They got excited, having resolved without thinking. "Right now they will correct them."

There was one case when, instead of the anthem of the USSR, the orchestra played "Wide is my native country." Nobody had anything against it. Even if our Sports Federation were negotiating with China, India and others to get out of this mess, such a statement of the question would play a positive role.

Where the back is warm - there is the homeland! There are some.

And if there is no need for weapons ?? Then you can "Where the back is warm - there is the homeland!" ??

If you are an athlete of Russia, you must play under the flag of your country. And listen to her hymn, if won.

In this case, Russia lost.

Our athletes were banned from performing under the flag of the Russian Federation, banned from wearing the colors of the Russian flag, banned from singing the Russian anthem ...
However, something tells me that in reality this is not a punishment, but a demonstrative insult! Purposeful humiliation of the Great Power!
But here's what I don't understand: why did it not occur to anyone to unfurl the Russian Imperial Flag during the speeches. This flag is also a symbol of Russia. Perhaps this flag is even a larger symbol than the currently officially adopted ...
What prevents from performing in the colors of the Russian Imperial Flag?
What prevented our fans from unfurling the Russian Imperial Flags in the stands?

[illuminat]

Wouldn't it be better to start completely new sports federations right now?
And new Russian-Asian championships?

A good idea, of course. However, a significant number of professional athletes have long and firmly been citizens of the world.

Back in the XNUMXs, I was struck by the revelation of the coach of one of the pairs (a Russian pair, very titled) of figure skating. The partner had an alternative - to play for Russia, Ukraine or Japan.
The choice in favor of Russia was made according to the criterion (!) Of maximum combination with a partner.

The refusal of the flag and anthem is just right for disrespecting the symbols of the country. And punish!

[martin-159]

This is downright disrespect. There is no need to equate anything.

A tank will not fire, a machine gun will not shoot and a rocket will not take off without the will of a fighter who wants to defend his homeland.

Yes? What if we replace the fighter with a software algorithm?

[Observer2014]

The country's flag and anthem are mental tanks and cannons

And the patch and the pension are mental anti-guns and anti-tanks of the Russian Federation.

[av58]

That's right, I completely agree. You can understand athletes, their whole life is tailored for training and victories, and the Olympics are the pinnacle of competition, but there is an important circumstance: sport is, in principle, a private matter. It is fundamentally. This is not a job as a miner, farmer, teacher, doctor, military man, engineer, etc. All these sports victories practically give nothing to the people or the country. Sport is not physical education.
Secondly, the state invests a lot of money in the training of athletes, not for any reason, but to promote the national flag, emblem, anthem.
Therefore, if in the current situation an athlete wants to perform, then let him speak on behalf of himself, at his own expense or at the expense of a sponsor, and reimburse the state expenses for his training.
Third: the decision of the IOC, WADA and the International Sports Court is directed not against Russian athletes, but against Russia, and it would be correct to deprive all Russian athletes participating in competitions under a neutral flag and an incomprehensible status of the right to compete under the Russian flag, coat of arms and anthem for life.

The topic is very relevant. I can't think of it, the lack of reaction from the Russian authorities. Concerns and frustrations don't count. The ban on singing the national anthem and the flag is an insult to the country. The reaction should be as harsh as possible, up to the withdrawal from all federations and the termination of sponsoring these misunderstandings. The same IOC must be recognized as an illegitimate structure based on discrimination against the participating country. With this attitude of the authorities, we are recognized as second-rate. The arguments about the fact that the athletes are not to blame are straightforward, they prepared, trained, they say, they cannot be deprived of the opportunity to shine ..... This is humiliation to follow the lead of Russophobes and agree to their terms.

For the sake of all these outrageous humiliations, we already feel sorry for the Westerners, they no longer know how to “put us down”, all that remains is for us to crawl into the stadium on our knees with our pants down and repent of anything. In all this farce, one thing outrages and infuriates. It’s not how Western “partners” treat us, it’s predictable, as one character from that environment said, we do it because we can and nothing will happen to us for it. All over the world they treat us and treat us like this, how much we deserve it. How else can one treat people who betrayed and destroyed their great power with their own hands, betrayed and handed over to the enemy to be torn to pieces, and in the literal sense of the word, their friends and allies. How can one relate to a country in which an inherited class society has been created from the invincible and united community “Soviet people”, the knowledge of which, stupefied by impunity and wealth, created over centuries by our great ancestors and suddenly falling on them, renounced its history and territories, generously drenched in the blood of ancestors, relatives and friends. If the country's own leadership, by its actions, is more similar to the colonial administration, it provides solutions to the problems and progress of foreign countries at our expense, organizing a robbery of its own country and people unprecedented in the history of mankind, dooming them to degradation.
Here something else is annoying, to what extent is the humiliation of the so-called. athletes and our nobility need to be brought to their senses so that they wake up and show at least some pride and self-esteem, stop disgracing and humiliating the entire victorious people with glorious traditions and a thousand-year history, and for the money of the people who are being disgraced. Why do we need such a so-called sport, what country these figures represent, what is the point in their performances for money, and not for the country. I doubt that the so-called. athletes and sports bureaucrats do not understand that all this is not about sports, that this is a demonstrative public humiliation, showing who is the boss and where your place is. I watched a report about how our abomination, who had lost all human dignity, for the sake of money and fame “there” to be noticed, covered up the name of their country with their own hands, it’s hard to imagine a greater humiliation. I don’t want to be disgraced throughout the world for my taxes.
