Today our country celebrates Defender of the Fatherland Day. In recent decades, according to an established tradition, all men were congratulated on this holiday on February 23, since hypothetically any representative of the stronger sex can stand up for their homeland.

At the same time, February 23 was not always a kind of "generalized men's day."



For example, from 1922 to 1946, soldiers of the Red Army were honored on this day. From 1946 to 1949, the holiday was already celebrated by the Soviet army. From 1949 to 1995 it was the Day of the Soviet Army and Navy. Until 2006, the date was called Defenders of the Fatherland Day and was timed to coincide with the victory of the Red Army over the Kaiser troops in 1918.

Since 2006, as mentioned above, February 23 has become the "day of all men." Meanwhile, in 2022, everything has changed.

Today, this holiday has regained its meaning, and men have the right to consider themselves defenders of the Fatherland. After all, what is happening now in Ukraine, although it is called the NWO, is in fact a war with the West for survival.

It is no longer a secret to anyone that the United States and its allies are using Ukraine, which is led by their proxies, as a kind of "ram" against Russia. The West has long stepped over its own "taboos" and supplies the Armed Forces of Ukraine with more and more deadly weapons, which daily destroy peaceful cities and take the lives of Russian people.

Our compatriots who today participate in the NWO are fighting for the future of their country, their families, their culture and faith. They are the real defenders of the Motherland.

On the Day of Defender of the Fatherland!

        Song about Russia
        Remember, Russia
        How it all was:
        How half life went
        You have to fight
        How are your songs
        Halfway around the world
        Half a century flew by
        On your rails.

        And a hundred thousand hopes
        And the burning ruins
        And a hundred thousand fireworks,
        And a groan of wires
        And fierce tenderness
        Your battalions
        Fit in yours
        Fifty years.

        At your borders
        Blazing fires.
        Every year is like a temple
        Surviving the fire.
        Every year is like a boundary
        Between new and old.
        Every year is like a child
        Hurrying to me.

        On the edge of town
        Where are the new homes,
        In the cold wind
        I'll open my finger
        So that flying to the stars
        Moscow triples
        I'm freezing dust
        Dropped in the face.

        It's just winter there
        After all, summer has come out!
        And forever saying goodbye
        With old longing
        The shell breaks
        The old planet
        Young comes out
        From the foam of the sea.

        I love and laugh
        Nothing to regret.
        I fought and lived
        How could - according to a dream.
        I'm sorry if it's better
        I can’t sing.
        I’m in, Russia,
        To your beauty!

          And in the continuation of the poems on February 23, 23 (20.23 - 2023). Famous and special day (turning and starting).

          Thank the granfather for the victory,
          Now for her grandson,
          Thank you mother Russia
          That she has many grandchildren.

          What delight the infantry creates,
          Queen of the scorched fields
          Day and night in the trenches
          Under a hail of fiery rains.

          Thank you for air defense, dear,
          What did you keep heaven
          Shooting in the top they shot down,
          Missiles and UAVs.

          Who is flying past the stingers,
          Carried gifts from heaven
          They shot on bends,
          Our guys VKS.

          And the Jewels flew at you,
          And there were minefields
          Thank you brothers for the support
          Invincible Armor.

          Arta you are truly a Goddess,
          How many times I beg you
          From the move so that they are lucky,
          Suppress enemy fire.

          Strong but kind hands
          Charging the faithful machine,
          Mentally wrote on the projectile,
          For Tolyan, Vovka and Peter.

          Thanks to the dear knights,
          For a powerful shield and a sharp sword,
          For the strength of the spirit,
          which you have.

          Grandchildren were divided and pitted,
          Forced to kill
          But in their hearts they wept,
          In the sight of seeing a brother.

          Uncle Lee, you put the right postcard.
          For me, it will always be the Day of the Soviet Army and Navy.
          And I'm probably not the only one with this opinion. Though times are changing.
          Happy Holidays to all who served.
          Health to all.

            Yes, because the name was chosen exactly ... So that various fake "Heroes of Russia" who did not serve in the army and never defended the Fatherland with weapons in their hands were not smeared for the holiday.
            This is the song about heroes:

              The corpse of a man was found, next to him was an empty liter bottle of alcohol ...
              One must think ... Suck a liter of alcohol into one sting ...
              And so ... How much of that "Royal" was drunk on business trips, shifts ... And nothing ... I myself always took three bottles for "fifteen" - in the evening, after work, at dinner ... A little bit, for appetite.

          Why immediately slumped? And those who worked and are working in the defense industry, like my wife, they have nothing to do with the defense of the Fatherland?

          These are not defenders. It was these people who fled from mobilization ...

    This is the worst holiday on February 23rd in my life. Even in the first and second Chechen wars, there was pride in the military, for conscripts, for commanders who did everything they could to defeat the enemy, despite the fact that the army was ruined, plundered and not financed. Times were such, terrible, gangster. And it seems that everything has improved over the years, beautiful parades, exercises and pretentious exhibitions, games, maneuvers. Until February 24, 2022. And then ... The shameful pages of the army and navy, aviation, command. It turned out that there was no army. The army is only in parades and ostentatious exercises. And the methods and methods of warfare since the 70s. And heavy losses due to stupid command, mediocre leadership. And the technique is over as it quickly. And now we are dragging stocks from storage, the old ancient one. And the false Defense Ministry with their destroyed air defense and aviation of Ukraine in the first 2 weeks, and the flight of troops called "relocation" ... It's like taking off rose-colored glasses. The whole country. And now February 23rd. Defender's Day. We have been actively defending the Donbass for a year, but without results. And there is no end in sight to this.
