I am Russian!

30 May 2014 284

I'm tired! Tired to apologize, tired to bear responsibility, tired to be ashamed, tired to feel shame! For what? .. For the fact that the slaveholding system disappeared from Asia? For the fact that Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, rolled like cheese in butter? For having defended Port Arthur, exchanged 15 thousands of Russians for 110 thousands of Japanese? Because, defending Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in 1854, near 1000, the militiamen, having lost 40 people, repulsed the attack of three times greater than the forces, sending them to the grave or to the bed of 400 opponents, and because their commander-Anglo-Saxon shot himself? For the fact that Cyprus, Bulgaria, Greece freed from the Turks? Because they did not allow to destroy the Serbs? For executing peacekeeping duty, in Afghanistan they exchanged 15 thousand for 200 thousand? For the fact that the 90 paratroopers did not allow 2500 militants to break through the height of 776? For exchanging 84 for 400? For the fact that two battalions of mercenaries in Grozny could not destroy the assault squad of the Maikop brigade? For the fact that the Soviet army liberated Europe from fascism? Maybe I apologize for Bayazet? For the Brest Fortress? For the "attack of the dead"? For the destroyer "Novik" or the leader "Tashkent"? Or maybe before the Mongols - for the fact that we had thrown off the yoke? Or for Alexander Nevsky, for the fact that the European knights to the bottom of Lake Peipsi lowered? For the fact that Anna Yaroslavna taught Europe to use the plug and wash at least once a month, and not once every six months? Or maybe apologize for the ninth parachute company of 345-th Guards separate paratrooper regiment, which took the battle at the height of 3234 in Afghanistan? Why should I, as a Russian, apologize here ?!

For the fact that, despite everything, we have kept honor, pride and humanity? For the fact that our rulers do not allow us to lower to the level of Somalia? For the fact that my great-grandfathers drove the Japanese and Americans out of the Far East?

I understood! .. I must apologize for the fact that unwashed, downtrodden and uneducated Russia gave the world Tolstoy, Herzen, Gorky, Gogol, Lomonosov, Chernyshevsky, Gagarin, Korolev, Tsiolkovsky, Krylov, etc.!

Yes. I'm tired. I am Russian, and I am tired of apologizing for being Russian. For the fact that the blood of those who nailed a shield at the gates of Constantinople, those who destroyed the Roman Empire, who mastered 1 / 6 of earthly land, those who saved Europe from the Tatar-Mongols and fascists, those who rode through the streets Paris, those who on ships saved the future of the United States from Britain (yes, yes, and that too!). You can list a lot, but ... Every state has pages storieswhich we can be proud of, but for some reason only Russia should be ashamed of its history and sprinkle ashes on its head! And to whom? Before Europe, which destroyed the Incas, Aztec, Maya, burned people at the stake, cut out half of Africa, and sold the rest into slavery!

I wonder what we should do to finally be forgiven everything, “humiliated” by us?

Maybe we should stop writing about our history in an apologetic and self-deprecating tone? Personally, I'm tired of apologizing! It's time to learn to be proud of who you are! I am Russian, and I want my children to be proud of the country in which they were born!

With your permission, I’ll get smarter.
Any state hierarchical system requires its own ideology. Religion is an ideology; the Russian State was built on the basis of Orthodoxy. On the territory of Rus'. Russian is an adjective. Russian man. Russian world. Those. Russian is a bearer of a certain ideology and culture. Russian is how you feel about yourself, whether you are a native speaker or not.
Carriers of other ideologies have always fought, and will continue to fight, with other ideologies, this is understandable. To expand their states, influence, markets, taxable territories, etc. Add here basic human greed and envy. Even in the Byzantine chronicles, it would seem, what is there to envy about the barbarian Slavs? They find it. They envy Slavic fearlessness, they go into battle without armor, they don’t spare their stomachs, women fight equally with men. Envy is centuries old. This is where the pathological hatred of some Westerners grows. Remember Candalisa - Russia's natural resources should belong to all humanity. And from a lack of intelligence (she opened her mouth), and most importantly, from envy. And they don’t stop opening their mouths.
The centuries-old slander of the Russian world is the essence of an ideological struggle for resources (wealth). It has always been so, it is so, and it will be so. They will look for straws, not noticing the millions of Indian scalps paid to the looters. Bolshevism essentially wanted to deprive us of the Russian worldview, the legs grow from there: “Russia is a prison of nations.” The Latvian tribes developed a language in the 18th century. Ukrainians do too. Language in prison? Original. And like we enslaved everyone. Rave. Not only do we have something to be proud of, our history is an order of magnitude more attractive than the history of the Crusades, the slave trade and the paid extermination of the indigenous population of America. The scoundrels subconsciously feel this, they envy, and quite naturally they begin to lie, rewrite history, distort, prove to us that we are worse than we are. And only because we, the Russian people, have proven with our centuries-old history that our culture is successful, that a culture based not on violence and murder, but on truly Christian morality, defeats the culture of liars who bless their flock with abominations.

  There is no need to confuse Russians and Russians. Do Muslims have no morals? Yes, they have a whole carriage of morals, real Muslims. I am actually a Christian, but my Muslim friends have never been against Christians and condemn Muslim reactionism, just as I condemn the same reactionism among Christians.
  Understand that the centuries-old framework has shifted. Previously, Slavs lived in Rus', but then the borders expanded, and other peoples, other languages, and other traditions came to us under protection and a better life, guaranteeing more tolerable conditions. Now that original Rus' as such is no longer a one-sided power. Bashkortostan, Tatarstan, Udmurtia, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Krasnodar Territory and many other federal subjects are part of the RUSSIAN FEDERATION.
  As you say, everyone envies Slavic fearlessness... But don’t they envy other peoples? For example, NOBODY has EVER been able to conquer Afghanistan, NOBODY has EVER been able to bring the Bashkirs to their knees. What do you say to this? Aren't they fearless?
  And there is not a slandering of the Russian (Slavic) world, but a deliberate slandering of MULTINATIONAL Russia. They slander all those who are citizens of the Russian Federation.

I’m Russian, I went through everyone before my great-great-grandfather, wrote them down in a notebook and show them to the children. All ancestors are Russian. But I married a beautiful girl with a cute name Elvina. Yes, she is Bashkir. But she is Russian, to the core. And my children are Russian. I baptized them, no one was against it. I am Russian and they are Russian, although their family tree is now filled with Bashkirs, but one of them fought the Japanese in 1905 and returned from there with medals. Another built the Dnieper process for the Ukrainians, which he was proud of all his life. They are Bashkirs, but they are Russian. And I'm proud of it. After all, my country allows me to be proud that I am Russian.

And I traveled around the world and saw everyone, except for Latinos, they drink worse than true Russians. They’ll also give us a head start!

And I am ashamed that we allow Russian children, women, old people and men to be killed in the South-East. Where is the help with weapons, advisers, a no-fly zone? Every day they show terrible pictures on the zombie box, some vile faces are engaged in one chatter. Some of the talkers are definitely Russian. Maybe we should learn from the Americans or Jews, who can send an aircraft carrier or launch a missile or bomb strike for threatening the life of ONE PERSON OF THEIR COUNTRY.

I would like to be proud that I am Russian, but when I hear rudeness and obscenities on the streets, I am ashamed when every year snow falls in the spring throughout the city garbage comes out as in a garbage can, I am disgusted when today they teach almost nothing at schools, and all the more so, they don’t bring up anyone, it’s also disgusting, you can list more. So, I would like to appeal to all who consider themselves Russian: maybe it is necessary to move from words to action. Can all together fight with drunkenness and drugs, with dirt and rudeness on the streets, with selfishness. To fight so that everyone together without pathos and hypocrisy could say, yes, we are Russian and we are proud of it. So far, honestly, apart from history, there is nothing special and nothing to be proud of.

That's probably true. And no matter how trite it sounds, we need to stop bending mats ourselves and throwing garbage in the trash bin. Start with yourself. I'll try. So far with varying success. I try, I try.

  But after college, I caught myself thinking that it’s somehow not very pleasant when I speak obscenities to someone and I decided to get rid of these dark and parasitic words. I got rid of it within a year, the main thing is to monitor your speech, emotions and be restrained.
  It turns out that the words carry some meaning, and if the meaning is positive, then it is positive, and if it is negative, then the negativity spreads in space and this makes everything worse, even for the distributor himself.

Quote: MOISEY
rise above this

But you also shouldn’t forget to look around you carefully, so as not to expose your back.

Back in the 70s, one of my senior comrades worked in what was then a peaceful and neutral Yugoslavia. One day, a local friend of his (Serb) invited him to some family holiday in his ancestral village. We've arrived. We met in relatives. We drank. We had a bite. And then, as is usual in our area, the whole big family went for a walk around the village. In the center walked respectfully one strong old man - a participant in the battles with the Austrians in World War I, and then in the battles of World War II. Around him are school-age children - grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Seeing a crowd walking down the street, neighbors come out to the gates to say hello, congratulate them on a family celebration, and exchange a few words.
Approaching the next gate, the old man says to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren: “People from such and such a family live in this house. Back in the Austrian company, when my father died, my older brother died, my mother died of illness, the Austrians burned down our house, etc.” etc., etc., people from this family shared their last bread with our family, hid me wounded from the Austrians, after the war they helped me rebuild, etc., etc. Say hello to the people living in this house With all respect and always - until the end of your days - remember what people from this family did for us and pass this on to your children and grandchildren! "
After some time, moving towards another house, the old man said: “And in this house live people whose grandfather betrayed my younger partisan brother to the Ustashes and the Ustashas killed my brother. / Ustashes are Croatian nationalists who fought on the side of the German fascists - read, like the Banderaites in Ukraine / And then they seized the land that had already been sown by me and my younger brother and took away the entire harvest, leaving our women to die of hunger while I was fighting. Say hello to those living in this house and always - until the end of your days - remember what people from this family did and pass this on to your children and grandchildren!”

The Ballad of Cyclops and Sinbad.

On Easter Island among the dungeons,
Rocky peaks and deep gorges,
Where herds of antelope graze peacefully,
There lived a strong, tall and powerful Cyclops.

His eyes were enough for him:
One eye saw everything, one hand grasped everything;
He playfully bent the horseshoes with his hands,
The ground hummed under his boots.

All God's creatures obeyed him,
Slightly fearing his terrible hari,
However, they loved him without arguing
The gifts were brought to a cave by the sea.

The Cyclops, in turn, ruled the island.
He was a supporter of simple wise rules:
Resolved issues and dilemmas fairly
And a compromise was the solution to the problem.

But there is an end to any of the idylls,
Laurel wreaths and bouquets of lilies.
It's time for insults and adversity -
Sinbad the Sailor came to the island.

He stepped ashore on a stormy night,
(The typhoon tore the sails of the skins to shreds)
Drawn by a shameful thirst for profit,
Having gotten drunk on intoxicating viscous beer.

With him were thirteen equally drunk people,
The same desperate thugs
Those who wanted to find mountains of money and gold -
Iron guys, cool guys.

Having learned that the Cyclops rules the island,
We decided to fry ourselves an escalope
From delicious hefty cyclopean meat
If within an hour

The Cyclops will not give them riches and treasures,
Cleverly hidden in the ravines of the tracts,
In the fractures of landscapes, in the crevices of facies,
In the darkness of the caves and under the shade of acacias.

But the robbers didn’t know Cyclops well.
The giant had a huge butt,
She emitted magical sounds -
All the people died from them like flies.

Those sounds were accompanied by poisonous gas.
That quartz corroded both basalt and granites;
Turning his back slightly towards the invaders
Cyclops fired an armor-piercing charge at them.

Sinbad and his comrades turned over
And he immediately plunged into the sea water.
They were instantly swallowed up by the depths of the sea -
The boys met an inglorious end.

The Cyclops spoke simple words:
Sinbad's gang was wrong!
Pirates will not suffer a shameful fate:
He who comes with a sword will die by the sword!

I agree completely - you need to start with yourself. And why do we have an eternal struggle against something? What if it’s not “against”, but “for”? For clean streets, language, a healthy lifestyle? Start with yourself, attract friends, and then exponentially... So what? Begin?

I watched one program about Germany in 1939. One Jew (not a clerk, not a money lender, not a musician, he was a mechanic) said that when Hitler began to persecute them, he could not understand what was going on? He said - BUT I'M GERMAN! Then it turned out that he was German, but with a Jewish destiny...
Guys! I am a Pole, my best friends are Avar, Tajik, Jew, Russian, Tatar and Armenian! I myself am half Pole, half German. And what? I live in Bashkiria myself. And we are ALL RUSSIANS! We work together and walk together! There is no need to make distinctions based on nationality. Bashkir, Ossetian, Russian, Chechen, Kazakh, what difference does it make if we live in Russia, we are all Russians, and those who fight for the truth in Novorossiya are our brothers, and Ukrainians, Russians, Chechens, Ossetians, Poles, Germans fight there ( these are just the ones I know personally), as well as many other good guys.
Here you and I, members of the forum, are called “couch troops.” In the Emergency Rescue Service of the city of Salavat, all the rescuers, engineers and management chipped in as much as they could and sent them to help Crimea (there is a charitable foundation). Perhaps there is a fund to help Novorossiya (if anyone knows, write details). Yes, we cannot get up from the “sofa,” take up arms and go to war. But at least you can help those suffering financially. Everyone in our institution is ready to help.

The article is a huge plus, I’m proud to be Russian.

Russia did not start with a sword,
She began with a scythe and a plow.
Not because the blood is not hot,
But because the Russian shoulder
Never in my life has anger touched ...

And arrows clanging fights
Only interrupted her everlasting work.
No wonder the horse of the mighty Ilya
Saddled was the owner of arable land.

In hands fun only from work
By good nature, sometimes not immediately
Retribution rose. That is yes.
But there was never a thirst for blood.

And if the hordes prevailed,
Sorry, Russia, troubles of sons.
Whenever the strife of the princes
How could hordes be given in the face!

But only meanness rejoiced in vain.
Jokes are short-lived with a hero:
Yes, you can fool a hero
But to win - these are already pipes!

Cause it would be just as funny
How to, say, fight the sun and moon.
The bail is Lake Peipsi,
Nepryadva River and Borodino.

And if the darkness of the Teutons is Batu
Found an end in my homeland
That is the current proud Russia
A hundred times more beautiful and stronger!

And in the battle with the most fierce war
She and hell managed to overcome.
Her bail - hero cities
In the fireworks on a festive night!

And my country is always strong
That didn’t humiliate anyone anywhere.
Kindness is stronger than war
As disinterestedness is more effective than a sting.

The dawn rises, bright and hot.
And it will be indestructible forever.
Russia did not start with a sword,
And therefore it is invincible!

Want is not harmful! I'm not a communist, but I was born in the USSR!
And now a question for the author.
In Tsarist Russia they were proud of their country!?
In Soviet Russia they were proud of their country!?
And in 91 we were proud of our country!?
I remember kilometer-long queues at McDonald's in Moscow! Like wild aborigines, they stood behind a portion of potatoes! How we looked with drooling eyes at the West and everything it sold to us in exchange for land and resources (which is really valuable). We ourselves destroyed the country, with our own hands! We sunk to the level of the aborigines in some Somalia in those years. We have let ourselves down in pursuit of everything “Western”! We called ourselves “scoop” and “vatnik”! So now cry and complain that you are tired.

Quote: Bayonet
If I, for example, walk around and yell: “I’M RUSSIAN!”, and someone next to me says: “I’M A TATAR!” (or anyone else), then in the end it won’t end well.

Judging by your active discussion, YOU PERSONALLY, if you decide to yell the truth, it’s probably better to yell something obscene to yourself - this is probably better than being a nobody (see above):

And since you are ashamed to be called Russian,
You, my friend, are not Russian. You are nobody.

It didn’t end well when many Russians forgot that they - Russians - are the backbone of our common country with the Tatars and other peoples of our civilization and the country in one person now. And if, God forbid, this backbone rots completely - neither the Tatars nor other peoples of our country will fare well - axes will quickly be found on their heads from our border neighbors, who all they need valuable from our common land is the subsoil, yes its other riches, and not the cultural identity of its national minorities.
I myself am far from Russian by blood, but I understand perfectly well that if the words “I am Russian” are heard over our common land with pride, then I will not be ashamed to stand up and say: “And I am such and such by nationality and I am proud of that “that I am a brother to any Russian, with whom we have already eaten a ton of salt, and have defeated all our common enemies more than once or twice” - and this will be a guarantee of peace and goodness in our land. This, and not when some fagot general people, and Internet hamsters sucking from them, will construct from all of us a kind of amorphous, spineless, national formation, or even worse - they will drive the Russians under the floorboards, and then they will amuse themselves while watching how other peoples will slaughter each other in vain attempts to crush all this “Russian heritage” under their own control.

For a Russian person without faith, the only thing left is vodka.

I'm Russian

I'm Russian -
I get up early in the morning
I wash my face with cool water,
And the charger is waiting for me.

I'm Russian -
I'm collecting children -
I feed you, see you off
Some to school, some to kindergarten.

I'm Russian.
Let's run wash the dishes
I'm putting on makeup for work, I'm in a hurry,
I look where the parking is

I'm Russian
I drink tea at work
I communicate with colleagues sincerely,
A workout awaits in the gym.

I'm Russian
I combine the debit with the credit,
I don’t know the break, making a balance.
The boss has a planner waiting for me.

I'm Russian
I'm summing up the results for the month,
I process accounting documents.
Debtors are in for a headache.

I'm Russian
Having worked with a light heart,
I’m dragging my bag home from work on foot.
My minibus has left.

I'm Russian
My husband came home from work
The children are fed, dinner is waiting for me.
My daughter has an A in her diary.

I'm Russian
I do creative work on the Internet,
Inspiration pushes me to write.
And on the shelf there is the newspaper "Evening"

I'm Russian
I'm going to the theater with my family,
Elegantly and tastefully dressed,
A classic awaits me.

I'm Russian
At the celebration my table breaks down.
I dance and sing songs with my soul.
My favorite topic is romance.

I'm Russian
I don’t shy away from social topics.
It's hot, I'm discussing it in the comments.
This is my polemic.

I'm Russian
I work in the garden, communicating with nature,
I talk to every plant.
There is an attunement to love and kindness.

I'm Russian
I am always loved by my husband
Although I am often in a misunderstanding.
Because men have a different logic.

I'm Russian
We can end this now
I don’t tire you, I don’t test your patience.
You need to know everything in moderation!
This is the arithmetic... I'm Russian!

About "I'm Russian!" or “I am a Tatar!”: The defense of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky mentioned in the article was commanded by Zavoiko, and the heroic commanders of the batteries of the Anglo-French who fought the squadron were commanded by the Maksutov brothers, naval officers. And one of them died, the second was seriously wounded. And the sailors and Cossacks defended themselves. Against vastly superior enemy forces. And they were not Ukrainians, Russians and Tatars, but ORTHODOX warriors who fought for the Faith, the Tsar and the Fatherland. And they fought so hard that the “NATO” admiral shot himself to avoid the shame of the defeat. And our victors were Russian, Orthodox or Muslim soldiers of the Russian Tsar. It is within us that we DIVIDE ourselves into Russians, Tatars, and Chechens. Europe and America consider us all Russian. Kadyrov treated Russian journalists as if they were family, Chechens, and did everything to get them out and return them home. And for me, for them, and for us, he, Ramzan Akhmadovich Kadyrov, is also one of us, and ours! In my opinion so!

Europe and the United States owe too much to Russia, and they really don’t want to pay it back. This means recognizing the complete moral superiority of the Russian State over them.

Konstantin Frolov Krymsky

Maidan.

I feel this quagmire
From the pulpit of his gray hair.
Almighty, save Ukraine
From a fierce civil war.

Kyiv was lit by revolution.
The mind is asleep, it has no value here.
Countless human lives
They will burn in this hellish fire.

Fences were erected instantly.
Who is right and who is wrong is the question.
A country that has been sick since birth,
It's easy to derail.

By the will of overseas rock
Clutched in a holy place
Two demons - West and East,
Essentially, without knowing why.

The rotten elite rejoices,
Palm rubs palm.
Russia, don't look indifferent
Damn this fire!

Here is the West with a vampire smile
It's no longer worth the price!
Europe is tired of the world
And he brazenly threatens war.

When, breaking through the dams,
Evil spirits are creeping onto our threshold,
United for the Russian heart
Two words – Russia and God.

From hatred and from pain,
From thirst alone - to kill
Save us, Russia. After all, more
We have no one to rely on!

Yes. I'm tired. I am Russian, and I am tired of apologizing for being Russian.

I'm also tired of apologizing to Europe and American cowboys. Yes, I am white, European, not a Nazi, and my ancestors did not kill European civilians. So what should I apologize for? Gay parades? No, I don't like them.
I love the parades of the guards regiments in Pavlovsk and Gatchina
I only love parades, I only love parades. And cannonade salutes, cannonades I love!!!!!

By the way, about being proud of being Russian. I am still ashamed that we, the Russians, surrendered to the GDR, Honecker and the intelligence and army officers of the GDR, simply, casually, by the way. And they were tried, imprisoned, and oppressed by the Americans and the German special services. We also surrendered the Cubans - we abandoned those who believed in us. I am ashamed and hurt because our pilots bombed Grozny and residential areas. And if some of the Chechens had somewhere to go - to the village, then the remaining Russians had nowhere to go. It’s a shame that Russians were surrendered under Yeltsin not only in Chechnya, but throughout the Caucasus and throughout the CIS. At that time, in the 90s, we actually handed them over to the knife to Uzbek, Tajik, Chechen and other scumbags who hid behind Islam, having little in common with it. During the time of Gorbachev and Yeltsin, there is generally a lot to be ashamed of. When Russia and the people, people and resources were sold. And we voted and cost “democracy”. We are ashamed of the murder of the Tsar and His family, our Holy Martyrs. I am ashamed of the deaths of many priests after the revolution and the desecration of our Orthodox Church. I am ashamed of those who wrote denunciations against the enemies of the people, for those who looked for the enemies of the people. I am ashamed of the dissidents of the sixties and others who “fought” their homeland and spat in its back. I am ashamed of our current officials, who have degenerated into a feudal ruling parochial class.
I'm ashamed because I'm Russian. And I have not only great pride for my homeland, for the people, for my blood, but also shame for what has led and is leading me away from God, from truth, from justice. This is how we differ from Ukrainian, Kazakh, Caucasian Baltic nationalist chauvinists - we have conscience, mercy and God in our souls. That’s why we didn’t massacre Germany, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, who fought against us, in 45. And this is in the souls of not only Russians, but also all of us Russian Orthodox, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists and even atheists (there is God in their souls too, but they don’t know about it :)). This unites us. But only pride in one’s blood, without conscience, shame, mercy and God in the soul, divides and embitters each other.

  I agree with you regarding the shame of the 90s... When there was a war in Tajikistan, like there is now in Ukraine, and the Russians hid their heads in the sand, pretending that nothing had happened. When Russian liberalists ate pilaf in Dushanbe with the “Vovchiks” and claimed that there is no national hatred in Tajikistan, and no one is slaughtering anyone..
  It is a shame that few people still know that during the years of the civil war in Tajikistan, 380 thousand people were killed and disappeared.
  I’m ashamed, but I won’t allow anyone other than Russians to speak ill of my country. How can I scold my child myself, but I will tear up anyone who speaks ill of him..
  That's how we are...ambiguous

I gave the essay a minus. If a citizen is ashamed, so be it, but there is no need to be ashamed for everyone.
For example, I am not ashamed. And even more: I never thought about this topic. Now I'm thinking...

A small comment on the article. Port Arthur: our losses are 50 people, Japanese - 000 people; Even after Anne Queen of France, Europeans washed only twice in their lives - after birth and death, and they were proud of it. Do you think why the French invented perfume and eau de toilette - to cover up the stench of unwashed bodies! Savages ...

    There may be more of us who are adequate, but the majority of the sites belong to the Maidanists. Ours are banned accordingly, messages are deleted, etc. Many swamp creatures have undergone “training and advanced training” in Germany and are working well at “thirty silversmiths.”

  I ended up on the VO website forum, but not for long.
  The forum is completely filled with Maidan people. Any attempt to protect Russia, the army and the Russian people is instantly stopped by bans and blocking.
  In general, I’m not glad that I visited the forum of maidan idiots and stoners.
  I can’t say anything bad about the site itself, but the forum is really dill, so decent people have nothing to do on the forum.
