"Do the Russians know that June 6 is the day of the Russian language? They don't even know what the Russian language is!"

On May 24, in all Slavic countries, the "Day of Slavic Literature and Culture" was solemnly held. - This year the 1150th anniversary of the creation of Slavic writing was celebrated. In most other cities, it started on Friday, May 24, on the Day of Remembrance of Saints Cyril and Methodius. It is they who, generally recognized, are considered the creators of the Slavic alphabet. In total, more than 500 programs and events were planned to be held, in which more than 350 thousand people will take part - school students, visitors to parks of culture and recreation.
However, "Russian spirit" lives not in magnificent spectacular extras, not in man-made writings, not in strange borders, divided Slavic powers, periodically arising due to the ambitions of temporary rulers, he lives in the very heart of each of us who bears the glorious name Rusich.
The modern literary Russian language, due to the activation of the Byzantine religion in Muscovy (since the accession of the Romanovs in the 17th century), partially “left” the figurative language that was still in the 15th-16th centuries. and which was spoken by all of Europe(!). However, he (in general, this happens with the state standardization of any existing dialect-dialect or the introduction of a distorted language, which was Church Slavonic in Moscow Russia), still retaining the foundations for the fullness of the beneficial life of its speakers. What happened .., When and Why, you ask? Let's figure it out together.

... In an era of mass displacement, there is a mixture of languages. “Illiterate”, “natural”, “topical” speech en masse poured into the press, television, stationery, etc. and simply overwhelmed the existing literary norm. The language itself is changing, and we are witnessing that “deterioration is becoming the norm.”
We were taught that language evolves. In relation to the literary language, this means that it becomes more sensitive to distinguish between semantic and stylistic nuances. For example, "beautiful" has one meaning, "elegant" - another, "graceful" - the third. Suppose that in the 19th century, instead of these words, the word "super" would be said. Or instead of evaluative words and even statements - the interjection "wow!". The plot of one film is retold by one boy to another: “But he is only peum-peum, and this one is juh!”

Now, in the age of the Internet, many new words have appeared - "neologisms" - "glamorous-chic, luxurious," anti-Barbie "- about a full girl who does not correspond to the type of girls who are called "Barbie" by resemblance to a doll (since 2004 .), "Gothic" - excellent (since 2005). It's still nothing. And how do you like these “expressions” (they were first used in the sms language on mobile phones and inter-comments on the Internet for brevity and speed, and now many people simply “speak” in such a language - “Albanian”.
"Albany" slang is the language of "bastards", which recently often communicates with young people (and not only). “Badonks are glamorous and pretentious, positive and not so.
“PREVED; MEDVED; KHARASHO DANCING; SEMPOT; GY-S-S; BURN; KROSOVCHEG; AFFTOR GOT; PREVED, TEACHER; CHICKEN HEAVY - ATSTOY; NORMUL; CHIC; PRICON; CREATIVE! 4TO ZA 4mo ; zachot - All this is "Albanian" slang, i.e. some tiny part.
The appearance of this "Albanian" language is not accidental. Probably, this is a kind of reaction of the body to gray illiterate speech. Fortunately, we have a reliable shield - the unforgettable Ellochka (from "The Twelve Chairs" by I. Ilf and E. Petrov), who was funny, because knew only 30 words.
Let us remember that so far the Russian language remains the most figurative and poetic, among all linguistic diversity.

Over the fields of growing grain,
Inflamed with a bonfire
Horizon. From Earth to Heaven
Russia is filled with the Living Word.

There are many wondrous words in the Russian language,
Our speech flows like silver.
People Live Here, Knowing God,
And they say good with love.

After all, Love is the basis of our Life,
Russia is full of unprecedented miracles.
Glory to the Prophetic Russian Word -
The Living Word of Heaven!

At Lukomorye- from the poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila" by A.S. Pushkin:

... Even now the Russian language has, in truth, cosmic possibilities - we would only save this wealth from alien interference in the sacred treasures of literature.

Four linguists met at one of the symposiums: an Englishman, a German, an Italian and a Russian. We were talking about languages. They began to argue, and whose language is more beautiful, better, richer, and what language does the future belong to?

The Englishman said: “England is a country of great conquerors, seafarers and travelers who spread the glory of her language to all corners of the whole world. English - the language of Shakespeare, Dickens, Byron - is undoubtedly the best language in the world."

“Nothing of the kind,” said the German, “Our language is the language of science and physics, medicine and technology. The language of Kant and Hegel, the language in which the best work of world poetry is written - Goethe's Faust.

“You are both wrong,” the Italian entered into an argument, “Think, the whole world, all of humanity loves music, songs, romances, operas! In what language do the best love romances and brilliant operas sound? In the language of sunny Italy!

The Russian was silent for a long time, listened modestly, and finally said: “Of course, I could also, like each of you, say that the Russian language - the language of Pushkin, Tolstoy, Turgenev, Chekhov - surpasses all the languages ​​of the world. But I won't follow your path. Tell me, could you compose a short story in your own languages ​​with a plot, with a consistent development of the plot, so that all the words of the story begin with the same letter?

This puzzled the interlocutors very much and all three said: "No, in our languages ​​it is impossible." Then the Russian answers: “But in our language it is quite possible, and I will prove it to you now. Name any letter. The German replied: “It doesn't matter. The letter "P" for example.

"Fine, here's a story for you with this letter," replied the Russian.

Pyotr Petrovich Petukhov, Lieutenant of the 55th Podolsky Infantry Regiment, received a letter in the mail full of good wishes. “Come,” wrote the charming Polina Pavlovna Perepelkina, “we’ll talk, dream, dance, take a walk, visit a half-forgotten, half-overgrown pond, go fishing. Come, Pyotr Petrovich, to stay as soon as possible.
Petukhov liked the offer. Figured: I'll come. He grabbed a half-worn field cloak, thought: it will come in handy.
The train arrived in the afternoon. Pyotr Petrovich was received by Polina Pavlovna's most venerable father, Pavel Panteleimonovich. “Please, Pyotr Petrovich, sit down more comfortably,” said dad. A bald nephew came up and introduced himself: “Porfiry Platonovich Polikarpov. Please, please."
The lovely Polina appeared. Full shoulders were covered with a transparent Persian scarf. We talked, joked, invited to dine. Dumplings, pilaf, pickles, liver, pate, pies, cake were served. We had a hearty meal. Pyotr Petrovich felt a pleasant satiety.
After eating, after a hearty snack, Polina Pavlovna invited Pyotr Petrovich to take a walk in the park. In front of the park stretched a half-forgotten, half-grown pond. Ride under sail. After swimming in the pond, we went for a walk in the park.
"Let's sit down," suggested Polina Pavlovna. Sit down. Polina Pavlovna moved closer. We sat down, were silent. There was a first kiss. Pyotr Petrovich got tired, offered to lie down, spread out a half-worn field cloak, thought: it came in handy. Lie down, lie down, fall in love. “Pyotr Petrovich is a prankster, a scoundrel,” Polina Pavlovna habitually said.
“Let's get married, let's get married!” whispered the bald nephew. “Let's get married, let's get married,” boomed the approaching dad. Pyotr Petrovich turned pale, staggered, then ran away. Having run, I thought: “Polina Petrovna is a wonderful party, it’s enough to take a steam bath.”
The prospect of obtaining a beautiful estate flashed before Pyotr Petrovich. Hastened to send an offer. Polina Pavlovna accepted the offer, and later they got married. Friends came to congratulate, brought gifts. Passing the package, they said: "A beautiful couple."

Interlocutors-linguists, having heard the story, were forced to admit that Russian is the best and richest language in the world!

... Each reader is free to determine for himself what is closer to Truth-Truth: the official historical myth about the Russian People (which is now bursting at the seams, living out its last years), or what other sources testify to. At different times, there were always people, whether they were foreigners (Fadey Volansky, burned at the stake by Polish churchmen from his own books “Monuments of Slavic writing before the birth of Christ”; Mavro Orbini is an Italian historian who in 1601 wrote a study called “The book of historiography, the beginning of a name, glory and expansion of the Slavic people and their Kings and Rulers under many names and with many Kingdoms, Kingdoms and Provinces ...”), or Russian researchers (V.N. Tatishchev, M.V. Lomonosov, E.I. Classen P P. Oreshkin, M. L. Seryakov, G. S. Grinevich, V. M. Kandyba, O. M. Gusev, K. K. Bystrushkin), convincingly and strictly scientifically showing in their writings that the true past of the Russian People goes back thousands of years.
It is this view of the history of the Russian People (and hence the history of all mankind) that allows us to consider the history of mankind not as a movement from savagery to civilization, as official history teaches, but quite the opposite: from Unity with the World and God to complete savagery and self-destruction, from the Single Language of the Soul's feelings, to the single language of mind-logic, from Conscience and Justice to legalized domination, from will to bondage.

Let's start with an excerpt from the work of O. Gusev "The Magic of the Russian Name":

"... To declare that the Russian people before the adoption of Christianity was "unwritten and cultureless", means to recognize them as incapable of developing their own philosophical and ideological concept in their views on the world around them, on the processes taking place in the Cosmos. How then did it survive on Earth? Orthodox philosophers teach: the Old Slavic language (and after it the Russian language) is "an artificial language created thanks to the genius of two peoples: Greeks and Jews" Does not Christianity take on too much? The peoples of the yellow race, for example, did without Christianity and have their own view of the world. Maybe a thousand years ago we, Russians, were at least equal with them in terms of our intellectual development? Are the Arab, Chinese, and Indian languages ​​embedded in the idea of ​​the Arabs, Chinese, Indians about the universe? Yes, Any linguist will tell you about this. Why don't we hear anything that the same thing is inherent in the Russian language? Like Arabic, Chinese and all other languages ​​of the world but they have nothing to do with the "genius of two peoples: Greeks and Jews", just as the great Russian language has nothing to do with this "genius" ...

As for Russia, then, says V.N. Tatishchev, we “have had letters for a very long time, because before Rurik there was a written law ... Oleg mentions letters and letters of travelers in an agreement with the Greeks ...” ... we are surprised we read that world Slavic studies have long established the fact that the Russians had their own written language before they adopted Christianity. The debate is about whether we had a literary language and literature. Some researchers are convinced that our pre-Christian books were written in a simple and understandable language, not much different from the modern colloquial... . But why is the "Lay of Igor's Campaign" also written incomprehensibly? Could it be that the author of The Lay did not use the colloquial, but the literary “language” that had already been finally established by the time of his life, imposed by the reformers of the “enlighteners of the Slavs”? Then V.N. Tatishchev, M.V. Lomonosov, V. Trediakovsky, V. Zhukovsky, K. Batyushkov, and most importantly, A. S. Pushkin and V. I. Dal saved our literary language from the “gift” of Cyril and Methodius !?".

Here it is important for us to show that it was not the Greeks, Jews and Romans who brought us enlightenment, thereby leading us out of the state of savagery. But quite the opposite. The Russian People has always carried a torch of knowledge to other peoples after the once united human community broke up into many peoples, tribes and nationalities, which at the same time forgot the single language and writing, and to varying degrees fell into the state of the so-called "primitive communal system". Another thing is that the Russian People itself failed to fully resist the forces that destroy humanity and there was a constant splitting off from the Russian Tree of certain families and clans, which, as they moved away from it, distorted both the language and the worldview. The last such splitting was the splitting of the Ruses into the steppe, Polabian, Pomeranian, Gorodets and Siversky. The steppes are now known as Ukrainians, Polabas as Yugoslavs, Pomeranians were destroyed during the Crusades, Gorodets partly formed Belarusians, and partly together with the Sivertsy formed the current Russian people. There were earlier divisions, but this is in a separate work. But already on the example of the Slavic division of the Rus, it is clear how this happened before. For us, it is important to show that it was the Russian People who enlightened the Greeks and Romans, since then it becomes clear why they subsequently had to distort history (there were genuine earthly ones), up to the “vice versa”.

...Unique archaeological finds in the Kemerovo region lead to the idea that once there was a developed civilization that gave rise to the Slavic tribes and the Russian language.

Program "Live theme" - ABC of Ancestors (2013):

I want to be God today
To speak in a high voice
And talk like Lomonosov
About the antiquity of the Great Russians.

How many times have we been buried
In the hope that they finally finished off,
How the vile gloated,
But no! Holy Russia stands!

And you can't break us so easily
You will deceive - yes, but you will not crush.
And let troubles fall on us,
We still know the taste of Victory!

It differs from other alphabets not only by the embodiment of the principle of uniqueness of graphic display: one sound - one letter. This alphabet contains...

Let's start with the phrase: "Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant sits". It is known to everyone since childhood and makes it easy to remember the sequence of colors of the rainbow. This is the so-called acrophonic method of memorization. Each word of the phrase begins with the same letter as the name of the color: each is red, the hunter is orange ...

Before the language reform of 1918, each letter of the alphabet also had its own name. Each letter was in its place. The Russian alphabet is not only a set of letters corresponding to sounds, it is also a whole message to the Slavs.

Let's read the message of our ancestors to us, now living. Consider the first three letters of the alphabet - Az, Buki, Vedi:

Az- I.

Beeches- Letters, letters.

Lead- learned, perfect past tense from "lead" - to know, to know.

Combining the acrophonic names of the first three letters of the alphabet, we get the following phrase:

Az buki vede - I know the letters.

Note: Az - I - the first letter in the alphabet (and not the last, as in the modern alphabet). Because it is with me that my World, my Universe begins.

Az is the foundation, the beginning. The basis of everything is the knowledge of God and one's ancestors. That is, their parents, their roots.

Verb welcome- Speak, do good. Remember, as in Pushkin: "Burn people's hearts with the verb". A verb is both a word and a deed at the same time. Verb - speak. I speak - I speak. I speak and I do. What should be done? Good.

Good Eat Live- to do good means to live in labor, and not to vegetate.

Zelo- diligently, with zeal.

Earth - planet Earth, its inhabitants, earthlings. Live Zelo Earth. Live green on the earth and on the earth. For she is our mother-nurse. The earth gives life.

And How People Think– He is our peace. That is, as you people think - this is your world. Here is the law of reflection. What goes around comes around.

Rtsy Word Firmly. Speak the word firmly. Your word must be firm. Said - done.

Oak Firth Her. UK is the basis of knowledge. Compare: science, teach, skill, custom.

Fert- fertilizes.

dick- divine, given from above. Compare: German Herr - lord, God, Greek - hiero - divine. English - hero - a hero, as well as the Russian name of God - Khors. Knowledge is the fruit of God, the gift of God.

Tsy- sharpen, penetrate, delve into, dare. Tsy is a vital energy, a higher structure. Hence the meaning of the word "fathers" - coming from "Tsy" - coming from God.

Worm- he who sharpens, penetrates.

State- which means "to".

b, b (er, er)- variants of one letter, it meant an indefinite short vowel, close to "e". The word "ur" meant the existent, eternal, hidden.

Space-time, inaccessible to the human mind, a light, the Sun. "Ъръ", in all likelihood, is one of the most ancient words of modern civilization. Compare the Egyptian Ra - the Sun, God. The word time itself contains the same root, since the initial “v” developed precisely from aspiration, with which it is necessary to pronounce “b” at the beginning of a word. Many primordially Russian words contain the same root, for example: morning - from the Sun (the root "ut" - from there, there), evening - century Rb - age of Ra, the expiring time of the Sun. In the sense of “space, the Universe”, the Russian “frame” comes from the same root.

The word "paradise" means: many Suns, i.e. home of the god Ra. The self-name of the gypsies is “Roma, Roma” - free, free, God is in me, I am the Universe. Hence the Indian Rama. In the sense of "light, luminary, source of light": the cry "Hurrah!" means "Toward the Sun!". Bright means similar to sunlight, rainbow, etc.

Yus small- light, old Russian jar. In modern Russian, the root "yas" is preserved, for example, in the word "clear".

Yat (yati)- to comprehend, to have. Compare: withdraw, take, etc.

Tsy, worm, shta bra yus yati! What does it mean: dare, sharpen, worm, in order to comprehend the light of Jehovah!

The combination of the above phrases makes up the alphabetical message:

Az beeches vede.
The verb is good.
Live green, earth,
And, like what people.
Think of our peace.
Rtsy word firmly.
Uk fert dick.
Tsy, worm, shta ra yus yati!

In modern translation it sounds like this:

I know letters.
The letter is a treasure.
Work hard, earthlings!
As befits reasonable people.
Comprehend the universe.
Carry the word with confidence!
Knowledge is a gift from God.
Hold on, get in...
To comprehend the Light of Being!

Until recently, it was believed that the ABC is just the letters of the language, arranged in a certain order. That is just icons. And that's it! Maybe that's why it was so easy and simple to remove letters from the Russian ABC. Why do we need so many. Look, the English get by with 26 letters, and they have enough. Why are we 33? And even more so 49, as it was originally.

Scientists who seek to cut the ABC do not understand much (or understand, but deliberately do evil).

Even in ancient times, our ancestors considered the ABC as a cipher of creation. Among many peoples, the ABCs were deified. The word has always been perceived as the beginning of creation, and the letter was the unit, the atom of creation. Each letter had its own meaning, its own image, its own meaning.

Recently, a group of Russian scientists ( G.S. Grinevich, L.I. Sotnikova, A.D. Pleshanov and others) proved that our ABC contains knowledge about the laws of the universe in encrypted form.

What is a letter? A letter is a unit, it is an atom of meaning. Letters have a certain shape, graphics. Each letter has its own number, its own number. Even Pythagoras claimed that the letter and the number have the same vibrations.

With the discovery of torsion fields, another component of the letter became known. Since each letter has its own form, and the form creates a torsion field, the letter contains certain information of the field of Consciousness.

That is, cutting down the ABC, we disconnect from one or another area of ​​the general information field of the Universe, from the general field of Consciousness. And this leads to the degradation of man.

Each letter of the Russian alphabet is a symbol of something.

For example, the letter "Zh" is a symbol of life. It means the union of male and female principles. And the name she had the appropriate - "Live."

That is, behind each letter, our ancestors had certain images. And through the images they created. After all, we already know that in order to create something, it is necessary to form an image.

What is the current ABC? What are the images behind the letters now? A is a watermelon. B - drum. B is a crow. And so on. The alphabet ceased to be alive, and the language became without images, that is, ugly.

Why did Turgenev write about the great and mighty Russian Language? Yes, because even at that time he was like that, until December 23, 1917, they made another “circumcision” to the Russian ABC. And there were several such "reforms". The first reform of the Russian alphabet was made by Cyril and Methodius in the 10th-11th centuries. Then in 1709 during the time of Peter the Great, then in 1735.

There is another interesting point. Until 1700, each letter in the ABC had its own numerical value. For example: A - 1, D - 4, C - 200, etc. Arabic numerals were introduced by Peter the Great. Prior to this, all numbers were denoted by letters with a special icon on top - “titlo”.

The connection between letters and numbers is not accidental. Scientists are trying to figure it out. This is another facet of the ABC, which our ancestors knew. It turns out that the ABC is a system of numerical codes. And, pronouncing the words, we communicate with the Cosmos, with the Universe. And the Universe responds to our vibrations. Language is given to man not only for communication among themselves, but also for communication with the Cosmos.

It has long been proven that everything living and even non-living in this world reacts to sounds. Sounds can improve or inhibit the growth of plants, influence the growth of microorganisms. Sound can change the mind of a person.

Our ancestors used the ABC given by God, and therefore they could create objects with the help of a word, a sound. They accurately conveyed the vibrations of this object with their voice. The Indian Vedas say that in ancient times there was a special Devagari language— Language of the Gods. Remember the famous oriental tale about Ali Baba and the 40 thieves. In it, a magical cave was opened with a special spell. With the reforms of the language, we have lost great power, the ability to directly influence Nature.

There is also a physical explanation of the influence of sounds on a person and the surrounding space. Sound is high frequency vibrations. In the brain, these vibrations are converted into electromagnetic vibrations. In addition, the sound wave causes a curvature of space, thereby generating torsion fields.

All sounds are divided into noises and tones. Sounds with periodic vibrations are tones, with non-periodic vibrations - noises. In speech, only vowel sounds are tones, all consonants are mixed with noise.

If you look at the spectrogram, you can see that vowel sounds have a greater amplitude and energy. It turns out that the more vowels in the ABC, the greater the energy of the language, and hence the energy of the people.

For comparison: in the Old Russian language there were 19 vowels. And now - 10. The energy of the language, the people has almost halved. Who needed it? And they are trying to remove one more vowel from the ABC - the letter Y. It is simply omitted when writing. Like it should be.

And further. Each vowel has its own color. Because color is also vibrations, waves. For example,

"A" is red

"E" - light green,

"I" - blue,

"O" is yellow.

"U" is green

"Y" - brown,

"E" - orange,

"U" - turquoise,

"I" is pink-red.

Together with color, vowel sounds affect our internal organs, since each organ operates at a certain frequency. No wonder Indian mantras contain almost all vowel sounds. And their chanting is beneficial for the body.

It is important to know your language, your history, the images behind the letters. And how important it is not just to pronounce the words. And invest in them bright positive images. It will make your life immeasurably richer.

People use the word very casually, they let it fly, break it and remake it without thinking. Some Words are lost and simply forgotten. Many Words direct to the destruction of a person, his soul.

Only Man is given the right to choose whether to create or destroy. From birth we have been given the most precious gift - the gift of the Word. This gift must be used to the fullest.

The Tale of Bygone Years is the oldest of the officially recognized chronicles.
Disputes over the chronicle and its author are still going on.

Reading Nestor

So, we will talk about the year 6406th.

When the Slavs were already baptized, their princes Rostislav, Svyatopolk and Kotsel were sent to Tsar Michael, saying: "Our land is baptized, but we do not have a teacher who would instruct us and instruct us and explain the holy books. After all, we do not know either Greek or Latin; some teach us this way, while others teach us differently, because of this we do not know we are neither the shapes of the letters nor their meanings, and send us teachers who could interpret the words of the book and their meaning for us. .

Hearing this, Tsar Michael called all the philosophers and conveyed to them everything that had been said. Slavic princes. And the philosophers said: There is a husband in Seluni named Leo.He has sons who know the Slavic language; his two sons are skilled philosophers". Hearing about this, the king sent for them to Leo in Selun, with the words: "Send your sons to us without delay Methodius and Constantine".

Hearing about this, Leo soon sent them, and they came to the king, and he said to them: "Here, the Slavic land sent messengers to me, asking for a teacher who could interpret the sacred books for them, because this is what they want." And the king persuaded them, and sent them to the Slavic land to Rostislav, Svyatopolk and Kotsel. When (these brothers) came, - they began to compose the Slavic alphabet and translated the Apostle and the Gospel. And the Slavs were glad that they heard about the greatness of God in your own language. Then they translated the Psalter and the Octoechos and other books. Some began to blaspheme Slavic books, saying that "no nation should have its own alphabet, except for the Jews, Greeks and Latins, according to the inscription of Pilate, who wrote on the cross of the Lord only in these languages."

Nestor writes that there were two people from Selun who knew the Slavic language and were sent to compose the Slavic alphabet in order to translate the Apostle and the Gospel to the locals, since no one knows Greek and Latin and " from this we do not know either the shape of the letters or their meaning".

Wikipedia:

"The first translations of the Bible into Russian published at the beginning of the 19th century. Prior to this, in church and household use only Church Slavonic translations Bibles dating back to the translation works of Cyril and Methodius. By decree of Empress Elizabeth in 1751 was published carefully corrected Church Slavonic Bible, the so-called "Elizabethskaya" (work on this edition was started back in 1712 by decree of Peter I) ... In 1815, after returning from abroad, Emperor Alexander I ordered "to deliver to the Russians a way to read the Word of God in natural in your Russian language..."

Only in 1876, already under Alexander II, did the complete Russian Bible come out of print for the first time.

The clergy themselves did not allow the sacred texts to be released to the people. It was believed that the Bible should be in the hands of the clergy and that people should not be allowed to read and study it on their own.

It is understandable for those who read the bible.

At least from 1712 to 1876, sabotage work was carried out so that there would be no transfer. 164 years from the decree of Peter, allegedly fearing another church schism, or, if anyone likes it, then 61 years from the decree of Alexander the First to translate everything into Russian, allegedly wanting to observe everything thoroughly and as accurately as possible in translation.

But, from the beginning, Methodius and Constantine were sent to the Slavs to translate texts. Moreover, the Slavs are already baptized, that is, they believed in Christ and perform church rites, but, due to ignorance of other languages, they did not read the Bible, and not just did not read it, but it turns out nonsense - they did not really know anything about Christ, since they ask Tsar Michael send somebody interpret the words of the book and their meaning".

One could assume that someone who knew the Bible could preach it to the Slavs, but then what does it mean " ... Our land is baptized, but we have no teacher..." ?
If no one had preached the Word before, then how could Russia be baptized? And who are these... some teach us one way, others another way..."

Official version

It is interesting to note that " .. even before baptism (988), churches existed in Russia and the Bible was read in the translation of the apostle brothers ..."what language was it translated into and read from what alphabet" even before baptism" ?

The full chronology is as follows:

1. Bible of Cyril and Methodius- Translations of Cyril and Methodius became widespread among the Slavic tribes , in including in Russia.

2. Gennadiev Bible- Some books of the Gennadiev Bible were borrowed from the Bible translated by Cyril and Methodius, and from translations into Russian made in the 15th century , others from a Bulgarian translation, and several books were translated from Latin for the first time. The Gennadiev Bible is considered the first complete Slavic Bible.

3. Maxim the Greek (Explanatory Psalter)- A large number of errors have accumulated in the handwritten books of the Bible. Therefore, in the first half of the 16th century, an attempt was made in Moscow to correct church books.

4. The first printed "Apostle" and the Ostrog Bible of Ivan Fedorov.- Ivan Fedorov, together with Peter Mstislavets, began to create the first printed book "Apostle" (Acts of the Apostles and Epistles)

5. Moscow early printed Bible- Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich ordered to send several educated monks to correct the Russian Bible according to the Greek lists, which, together with Nikon's innovations, leads to a church schism, by the way.

6. Petrine-Elizabeth Bible

7. New Testament of the Russian Bible Society- It was decided to start translating the Bible into modern Russian, but in 1825 Alexander I died, and work on the translation was suspended until 1856.

8. And finally, the synodal translation of the Bible- The Holy Synod adopted a resolution on the beginning of the translation of the Bible into Russian.

Inconsistencies in the official version

Cyril/Konstantin and Methodius "began to compose the Slavic alphabet and translated the Apostle and the Gospel"but, they translated and compiled them in such a way that the Slavs still could not read this, this is understandable. And it is ridiculous to talk about widespread among the tribes, because it is precisely in the idea that only the elect, in this case, the clergy, can carry the Word of the Lord and this was diligently observed all the time until 1876. Yes, and after that, and in our days, since the church stubbornly mumbles services in the old church language of supposedly Cyril and Methodius, but in fact it turns out in a language educated, as it were, from Greek.

By the way, churchmen believe that the Russian language was formed by the Church Slavonic language!

So, if Cyril and Methodius created a truly understandable alphabet, then there would simply be no need to translate into Russian, as well as diligently postpone the translation of the Bible into a normal language.

And here is a clear change. Not Russian from Old Slavonic, but the alphabet of Constantine and Methodius from Russian. Moreover, the task, if these guys really existed once in history, could not be in the invention of the alphabet for stupid Russ, but the introduction of a language understandable only to a minority, which makes it difficult for the majority to get acquainted with the Bible.
And according to Nestor, even this caused a lot of discontent, because " no people should have their own alphabet, except for Jews, Greeks and Latins".

Life of Constantine Cyril

"... For Rostislav, the Moravian prince, instructed by God, after consulting with the princes and Moravans, sent to Caesar Michael to say: "Our people rejected paganism and followed Christian teaching, but we do not have such a teacher who would explain to us in our language the Christian faith, so that other countries, seeing this, become like us. Send us, Vladyka, such a bishop and teacher. After all, good law always comes from you in all countries "..."

"... The Caesar gathered advice, called Constantine the Philosopher and let him listen to these words. And he said:" Philosopher, I know that you are tired, but it is fitting for you to go there. After all, no one else can do this work like you do. The Philosopher answered: “And tired in body and sick, I will gladly go there, if they have letters for their language". The emperor said to him: So how can I find it?" And the Philosopher said: “Who can write down a conversation on the water or want to acquire the nickname of a heretic?” The emperor answered him again, and with Varda, his uncle: “If you want, then God can give you what he gives to everyone who asks. no doubt, and opens to all who knock.” The Philosopher went and, according to his former custom, turned to prayer together with other helpers. And soon God appeared to him, listening to the prayers of his servants. And then he composed letters and began to write gospel words: "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and God was the word" and so on ... "

Delving deeper into the topic, it turns out that there is not even a firm opinion about who these guys Cyril and Methodius were. Either Slavs, or Greeks, or Bulgarians. Yes, and Cyril is not Cyril, but Constantine, but Methodius (Methodius - in Greek "following the trail", "search") - Michael.

Here's what's important: " My grandfather and my father and many others tried to find them, but did not find them.." says Tsar Michael about the Slavic alphabet. Is this true? We climb again in the encyclopedia and look for the "Glagolitic".

Glagolitic

"The Glagolitic is one of the first Slavic alphabets. It is assumed that it was the Glagolitic alphabet that was created by the Slavic educator St. Constantine (Cyril) the Philosopher to record church texts in the Old Slavonic language."

This means that the Glagolitic alphabet was created to record church texts. Here's what it looked like:

Correct me if the Glagolitic is somehow similar to Greek or at least some well-known language. Unless the letters "Yat" and "Shta" are the same as in the Slavic alphabet. And if Cyril and Methodius created the Glagolitic alphabet, then why doesn't our church adhere to the Glagolitic alphabet? And how, tell me, did the Glagolitic alphabet pass into the letters known to us, for example, the way Nestor wrote?

This whole version, appropriation of someone else's to oneself, which is found everywhere by these comrades, lovers of deriving everything from Adam, is bursting at the seams.

Even Wikipedia is unable to support this version and continues to write

"A number of facts indicate that the Glagolitic alphabet was created before the Cyrillic alphabet, and that in turn was created on the basis of the Glagolitic alphabet and the Greek alphabet."

It's like this" My grandfather and my father and many others tried to find them, but did not find them."says Tsar Michael, but at the same time, Cyril and Methodius make up the Slavic alphabet based on the Glagolitic alphabet? Suddenly found it?

It could be assumed that the Glagolitic alphabet has nothing to do with the Slavs, and just like the Greek alphabet for some reason was taken as the basis for writing the Slavic alphabet. But this version does not roll, since the Glagolitic is actually the modern Russian language! Having learned the symbols, one can read these texts quite tolerably, since the words there are Russian / Slavic. Any person who understands and writes in Russian, having tried to translate the Zograf Gospel, which is higher, with the help of this table, will see that no translation is needed. This is Russian text simply written in other characters. And that's it!

I really have one more assumption that the Glagolitic alphabet is based on the Slavic language as, for example, a church crypto-language and was common among a certain group of Slavs, for example, Bulgarians, but was never widely used.

Features and cuts

In the museum of Ryazan, I saw with my own eyes a sinker from a spindle on which it was written with these features that the sinker belongs to such and such.

That is, a spinner, in ancient times in old Ryazan, signed her things, which means that other spinners should also be able to read! Spinners sat down to spin yarn in one hut, worked, sang songs, and so that the next day someone didn’t steal their goods, or just not to look, they signed where whose. If the spinning wheels themselves have a different pattern, and are noticeable to the eye, then it was not stupid to sign the little things.

If Cyril and Methodius did not invent the Slavic language, then Nestor either blew a little or concocted in advance not a chronicle but a dummy, or maybe not even him.

Why such a stubborn rejection of even the acceptance of the possibility of the existence of writing in Russia and a passionate desire to derive the Russian alphabet from the Greek? Did Nestor casually let it slip here, pointing out that " No people should have their own alphabet, except for Jews, Greeks and Latins."?

Secrets of the Russian language Boil porridge, disentangle porridge In the old days, when potatoes were not yet known in Russia, porridge was the main daily dish in peasant families. It is clear, therefore, why many phraseological phrases are associated with porridge: “you can’t cook porridge with them” - they said about a person with whom it was impossible to do a common thing, “I ate little porridge” - young and inexperienced. The porridge was prepared quickly, it did not require much skill. If the porridge turned out to be tasteless, it still had to be eaten (disentangled). "He made a mess" - they said about a person who, without thinking and not calculating the consequences, created a difficult situation for himself and those around him. In order to unravel this situation, it was necessary to "disentangle the mess" - that is, to make great efforts to correct the situation. ("Big Phraseological Dictionary for Children", Rose TV, M., 2009) How to look into the water According to our ancestors, a clairvoyant, looking into the water, could find out the fate of a person, foresee the future, warn of impending dangers. The girls, dreaming of marriage, tried to see the image of their betrothed in a bucket of water. To do this, a vessel with water was placed under the bed at night, and to appease unknown forces, nut shells, wax candles, and pieces of food were thrown into the water. Thanks to these divinations, the expression "as if looking into the water" entered our language. ("Big Phraseological Dictionary for Children", Rose T.V., M., 2009). Like behind a stone wall In the old days, walls were erected around cities to protect against enemies. Walls made of stone or brick were especially reliable: they sheltered from enemy arrows and made it possible to withstand a long siege. Over time, the expression acquired a broader meaning: guardianship, patronage of a high-ranking person, or a document that saves you from unnecessary trouble, could play the role of protection. ("Big Phraseological Dictionary for Children", Roze TV, M., 2009) How Arshin swallowed Arshin, as a measure of length, is equal to 16 inches or 71 centimeters. Russian merchants and craftsmen widely used arshins in their business - metal or wooden rulers of the same length. No one tried to swallow such a ruler, but if you imagine it, then a person would be standing in front of you unnaturally straight with unbending arms and legs and not turning his head. This is exactly what is meant in the expression "as a arshin swallowed." Synonyms are also the expressions "stand on the line" and "stretch out to your full height." ("Big Phraseological Dictionary for Children", Rose TV, M., 2009) Far Away This expression is often found in Russian folk tales and means "very far." The origin of the expression dates back to the time when in Russia, in addition to the decimal number system, there was also a decimal number system, which was based on the number nine. In fairy tales, to reinforce the described fact, everything was taken in a threefold amount: for distant lands, in a distant kingdom, in a distant state. From folklore, these expressions passed into ordinary colloquial language and retained their figurativeness in literature. ("Big Phraseological Dictionary for Children", Roze TV, M., 2009) Plug in the belt The expression is associated with the habit of artisans to put a temporarily unnecessary tool into the belt. In the old days, this expression passed to the relationship of people. In the case of physical superiority, the opponent boastfully promised the other to treat him as an unnecessary thing: hide it in his belt or put it in his pocket. ("Big Phraseological Dictionary for Children", Roze TV, M., 2009) Vicious circle There is a popular belief that in the forest the goblin leads a person in a circle, so the lost one returns to the place where he has already been. This really happens to people in the forest and it happens because the step taken with the right foot is wider than the step with the left. In the absence of an accurate reference point, a person walks in circles. In everyday life, sometimes there are situations when circumstances depend on each other and a closed chain is obtained that is difficult to break, then they say that a person has fallen into a vicious circle or into a hopeless situation. ("Big Phraseological Dictionary for Children", Roze TV, M., 2009) Slurp for seven miles of jelly An ancient measure of distance - a verst - comes from the verb "twirl". It characterized the distance or length of the furrow from one turn of the plow to another during plowing. A verst was equal to a thousand fathoms, or - in the modern system of measures - almost a kilometer. Kissel was one of the most common dishes in Russia, you could "sip" it at home, and not go "seven miles away", spending a lot of time and effort on it. Therefore, the expression "for seven miles of jelly to slurp" began to mean "to go far and in vain" ("Big Phraseological Dictionary for Children", Rose T.V., M., 2009) To chop on the nose The word "nose" as a protruding part of the body or some -either object has one more meaning: in very ancient times this was called a commemorative plaque or a tag for records. Illiterate people everywhere carried such boards with them and made all kinds of notes (notches) on them as a keepsake. This is how the expression "to chop on the nose" appeared. If they borrowed money, then such boards were sometimes given as promissory notes. In the event that the debt was not returned, then, according to the apt expression of the people, the creditor "was left with a nose", that is, with a tablet instead of money. ("Big Phraseological Dictionary for Children", Roze TV, M., 2009) Speak teeth Teeth ached for all people at all times. Some went to doctors, others to healers, who had their own methods of treatment with the help of herbs, conspiracies and spells. It happened that after such a visit, the pain in the tooth subsided and the person was satisfied. Over time, the expression "to speak teeth" began to mean to mislead, to deceive. Other phraseological phrases are also associated with teeth: “put your teeth on the shelf” - that is, starve, “keep your mouth shut” - be silent, “impose in your teeth” - get bored. ("Big Phraseological Dictionary for Children", Roze TV, M., 2009) Get a barrel organ In the old days in Russia, itinerant musicians walked with a barrel organ. A barrel organ is a portable mechanical organ in the form of a large box with a strap worn over the shoulder. Inside the box was a small disk like a modern gramophone record, on which a popular tune was recorded. The musician turned the handle, which rotated this disk, and the same melody poured out of the box, repeating. The sound of this simple instrument was hoarse and mournful, so the expression "turn on the hurdy-gurdy" soon appeared among the people - that is, it is annoying to talk about the same thing. ("Big Phraseological Dictionary for Children", Rose TV, M., 2009) Keep your pocket wider In the old days, any bag or sack attached to the outside of a person's clothes or tied to a saddle was called a pocket. They put things needed on the way or hike. When it was necessary to place something large, they asked to open the pocket wider. Most often, it was kept closed so that intruders or thieves "did not get into their pockets." Over time, the expression acquired a derisive ironic connotation and began to mean vain expectations and calculations. ("Big Phraseological Dictionary for Children", Rose T.V., M., 2009)

GLORY TO THE ROD!

My dad and mom are the same age. This year they would have turned 100 years old each! It's a pity they won't see this book. When my sister and older brother and I were very young, they took us to different cities to introduce us to distant and not very distant relatives. I was the smallest. And I was very surprised where we have so many uncles, aunts, cousins, second cousins, brothers, daughters-in-law, nieces, brothers-in-law and brothers-in-law? In general, which of these words means what? Mom and dad were very happy when we all found common interests, corresponded, consulted ... Dad often told us that the main thing for the state is the family. Without the economy, the people somehow, but will survive. Without a family, no. Almost all of our relatives were poor. Dad helped them all. His books were published in fairly large print runs and sold well. Mom corresponded with many relatives and even sent clothes to those who could not afford to buy them. Often, for someone from relatives, she herself altered her elegant dresses.

I am sad that many words related to relatives are now considered obsolete. Although, if you try to look deeper into any of them, it opens up like a flower in the morning sun. Sometimes it strikes with its accuracy, wisdom, sometimes it is surprising how affectionate and gentle. It seems to me that many would like to know today where even such simple words as mom, dad, aunt, grandmother came from? Not to mention the real mysteries for today's young generation: sister-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law ... And so on ... I decided to write this book in memory of my parents in the year of their common centenary. More than anything else, they honored their family, remembered their ancestors and tried to teach this to their children.

GENUS

ROD was considered one of the most important Slavic gods. It was he who pointed out to people that their main task on earth is to procreate. It's nice that it is in our language that so many RELATED words are formed from the word "KIND": HOMELAND, NATURE, PEOPLE, RELATIVES, RELATIVES, BIG, UGLY, GEOGRAPHY (miscarriage of the family) ... Once upon a time, "UGLY" was a laudable word . Until now, in the Polish language "URODA" means "BEAUTY". That is, a person who was at his KIND. NATURE - what was created on earth by GENUS. PEOPLE - that which was born in NATURE. And finally, one of the warmest words of the Russian language - PARENTS - KIND OF THE BODY! BODIES CONTINUED GENERATION!

* * *

The word "FAMILY" comes from the word "SEED". Strong and large families - SEEDS of the Motherland!

MOTHER

One of the first words most often spoken by a child.

How cleverly everything is paralleled in this world! According to ancient Vedic legend, the Almighty created the world with the sound "A". He let out a scream, the scream began to thicken and turned into matter. It seemed to be a literary image. Nevertheless, it is consistent even with the laws of physics. What is matter? Condensed energy. Energy is transmitted not only by light, but also by thoughts and sound. Try opening your mouth wide and pulling "Aaa" on one note, slightly vibrating your voice? Then slowly close your lips, as the aperture of the camera closes. You will hear that gradually the sound “A” will turn into “O”, then into “U”, and when your lips tighten, you will hear your own lowing - “M-M-M”. That's how from the first sound-energy - "Ah-ah" - formed "M-m-m"-matter! The feeling that the authors of the legend were quantum physicists. By the way, “A-O-U-M” is the beginning of the ancient mantra: “OM-MANI-PADME-HUM”. True, some today perceive it flatly and primitively as "OM". Interestingly, the origin of one of the most popular Christian words "AMEN" also lies in this first mantra. But nobody knows about it today. The West considers it humiliating for itself the very idea that it, the "civil", got something from the non-civil East. Nevertheless, the most sincere and sensitive believers, even in the West, when they pray, thanks to their ancestral memory, say "AMEN" with a slightly vibrating voice, as the Creator once did, according to legend.

If you make the same sounds in reverse order, start with closed lips “M-M-M” and gradually open your mouth, you get the most pleasant syllable “MA” for the child's ear. The syllable is so pleasant and affectionate that you want to say it twice: "MA-MA"! So if you try to explain this word, sacred for all mankind, by the formulas of wave mechanics, it will turn out that it means matter “M”, which gives energy “A”! Indeed, who, if not mothers, taking care of their children, try to give them as much of their energy as possible for their future life.

I think that in no other language there are so many diminutives in relation to mothers, as in Russian: mother, mother, mother, mother, mother, mother ... As an ancestor, they also revered their native land - Mother Earth! The heroes were gaining strength from the Mother of the damp earth! The call "Motherland is calling!" was only in Russia. Well, back in Ukraine, until the Ukrainians decided that they were a different people. The largest and most impressive Russian monument in Volgograd is called Motherland!

And it all started with the creation of the world with the syllable "AM". Then mother-matter gave energy to a new life - "MA"! Everyone knows how the Old Testament reads: “In the beginning was the word. And the word was God!” I would continue these lines: “And the second word was“ MA-MA ”.

From the syllable "AM" the ancient verb "AMAT" was formed. The same as eating. I eat - I eat. From the same Indo-European root and the famous English "I am". Mystic, of course, but even the name of the whole country begins with the same syllable "America". Very accurate! There is no better name for the state in which everyone eats all the time, that is!

DAD

There are suggestions, and I believe in them, that the word "PAPA" is the syllable "PA" spoken twice, which meant half of something. Figuratively speaking, "PAPA" is only HALF of the family. When humanity developed into the great civilizations of religions, in which the peasants began to "rule" with all their peasant agility, it became insulting for them to consider themselves halves. With their suggestion, they began to call leaders, high priests, spiritual leaders and, in the end ... Roman PAPs "PAPS"! In English, "PAPA" is pronounced "POUP". And now, to us, to Russia, their "remake" "POP" returned from "our DAD". This ironic "stump" stuck by itself to those who profited from religion. No wonder - the word came back to us from the West, where trading in religion was considered in the order of things even among the Popes.

And those who remained faithful to God in their souls continued to be addressed as "BATYUSHKA". From the word "DAT". What is the difference between "DAT" and "DAD"? "PAPA" - half: that is, the one who is always with mom. And "BATYA" - "GOD SOMETHING"! More precisely, “he who is Almighty in the family! And he will protect, and feed, and teach, and whom you must obey in everything, because if you do not obey, then he will punish! If "BATYA" was angry, they called him "DAT", and if he smiled - "BATYAVKA".

FATHER

In addition to "DAD" and "BATH" there is also the word "FATHER". From him the divine "FATHER" was formed. FROM WHAT it all started! FATHER is the Creator! Until now, thanks to the not completely faded tribal memory, many in prayers turn to the Almighty - Father! And I'm sure He loves it! After all, the Father, unlike the Pope, consisted of two halves. God has no gender. But this has long been forgotten. The inhabitants generally imagine the Creator-Creator as a kind of old man who walks barefoot on the clouds and from there, from above, sometimes angry, and sometimes giggling, peeps at us. So "DAD", "FATHER" and "DAT" are three different words... Once upon a time there were...

Although two of them - "BATYA" and "FATHER" - were formed from one parent root - "ATYA". Many words were thrown into humanity by children. Have you noticed how babies who cannot speak mutter in their “cosmic” language? One of their favorite words is "TYATYA" or "ATYA".

Compare: dad, dad, tya, atya and father? The last one is the most awkward. This suggests that, most likely, the father was called the father when he was especially angry and punished the children, did not allow, for example, to pull the tusks of mammoths after sunset. Or shoot pebbles from slingshots at a running neighbor. When a formidable parent appeared, the children probably warned each other by shouting: “Father! Father! Run away who can! Look, he is with a club! These cries were full of horror, so not all the sounds in the words were pronounced clearly. So... out of fear, instead of "FATHER" another new word "ATAS!" appeared. Such an evolution has taken place from the affectionate “ATYA” through the strict “FATHER” to the panicked “ATAS!”, and in the near future to the formidable “ATAMAN”!

* * *

But the most pleasant thing is that the most affectionate word is still "PAPA". Even now, as soon as the children do not call their dads, when they want to get something from them: "DAD", "DAD", "FOLDER" ... Even prisoners in the zones, when they want to suck up to the main local authority, call him " DAD". Because he, as befits "PAPE", judges not according to the laws, but according to justice! When "PAPA" is angry with his "sixes", he is no longer "PAPA", but "GOOD FAMILY" - "PAPA-KHAN". That is, "PAPA", from which everyone is "KHAN"!

Interestingly, in the 1990s, the first president of Russia was called "DAD" in the Kremlin! That is, “in kind” they considered him a real authority in the Kremlin zone!

LOVE

Many who are engaged in the “archeology” of the Russian language believe that the word “LOVE” means “PEOPLE KNOW GOD”! "LU" - "PEOPLE", "BO" - "GOD", "V" - "KNOW". It's funny, but if you drop the syllable "BO" meaning "GOD" from the word "LOVE", you get "LOVE" - almost English "LOVE". It seems like their love is almost ours, but only without God. Maybe that’s why they treat love more businesslike than we do: for example, before getting married, they sign marriage contracts, work out the conditions of marriage, each other’s rights and obligations, assure them at notaries: “I undertake to love you to the grave ! If I leave this world, having fallen out of love, - a penalty from me!

* * *

Recently, in the West, a brilliant expression has become fashionable: “LET'S GO TO MAKE LOVE!”. Love is like business! And all because God was thrown out of the most holy word "LOVE", which ... should save the world!

LOYALTY

The words "FIELDY" and "JEAL" in Russian consist of the same letters. And the root "VER" is the opposite of the root "ROAR". "VER - BELIEVE", "ROAR - ROAR"! That is, fidelity is when you trust each other, and Jealousy is a ROAR. Living in nature, people roared with anger, like animals, which sometimes even staged battles because of females, jealous!

Very wise Russian! In every word there is an indication of how to live: in order not to be jealous and not to roar, you must ... BELIEVE!

PEOPLE

Many words in ancient times were formed from the reduction of some very precise expressions. For example, the ancient expression “I EAT, THEREFORE I AM!” condensed into the later "I AM". From the long “WHAT KIND” was born a short and specific “WHEN?”, From “THAT YEAR” - “THEN”. "NO YEAR" - "NEVER". And "TODAY" - it's not hard to guess - "TODAY".

Such a process took place at all times and not only in the Russian language. Many examples could be cited: "PIG" was once "PIG". The sound "X" flew out by itself as unnecessary and difficult to pronounce. And so it's clear what we're talking about. The word became lighter, like a balloon, from the basket of which an extra load was thrown, and flew into the future!

“OBSERVE” comes from the common expression: “GIVE ON A DISH”.

"GROT" - "MOUNTAIN MOUTH".

In the "CABINET" they packed "LIKE I AM NOT AVAILABLE".

“Difficult” - “THIS IS FALSE.” That is, if you lie, you will live difficultly.

And "PEOPLE" is nothing but " Best Junior beaten DE you God!" After all, without "PEOPLE" there is no "LOVE"!

* * *

Of course, not everyone will believe that most of today's words are "abbreviations" of ancient wisdom. But the fact is that biorhythms change over time. Time is speeding up. The world is filled with information, new technologies. The number of friends and acquaintances grows, the volume of knowledge swells by leaps and bounds. Modern means of communication, as it were, accelerate life, make it move faster. Especially a mobile phone, radio, television, the Internet... In a day you can get anywhere in the world, traffic jams on the roads make people think of only one thing: how to be in time at least somewhere. They don’t sit anymore, but sit down, lie on the move, sleep on the run, they keep promising on the phone: “I’ll be there soon!” ... Not people, but some kind of “skorobuds”. No time to say "I EAT, THEREFORE I AM"! Even "I AM" - and that already slows down: "I AM"! But it, I am sure, will soon shrink to "I - E". Even now, young people speak in abbreviated form: not "COMPUTER", but "COMP", not "AIR CONDITIONER", but "COND" ... "TEACHER" - "TEACHER". "STUDENT" - "STUD". "GRANDMA" - "BUSHKA". "AZERBAIJANIAN" - "AZER" ... And "CHAMPION OF THE MOSCOW OLYMPIAD" - "schmuck".

What about text messages? Why type a long “I LOVE YOU”, when you can “I LOVE YOU!”, And again, everything is clear. "HOW DO YOU CHOOSE YOURSELF?". "NOT PLO"! "ARE YOU EMO?". No, "I'm a schmuck!". I'm afraid that if this process continues at the same accelerated pace, then in the schools of the future Pushkin will read something like this: "I POM THE MIRACLE INSTANTLY!"

AFTERWORD!

Even proverbs, and those have come down to us in a distorted, edited and shortened version!

For example, everyone knows the proverb: "THE WHO REMEMBERS THE OLD, THEY SHOULD BE OUT!". But no one knows that this proverb had a continuation: “AND WHO FORGETS, THERE IS BOTH EYES OUT!” I understand that for those who make revolutions, coups and who crosses out all the best that happened in the past, such an original version of the proverb is not suitable. But chopped off very even "to the court" of any ruler.

There was also the most ancient Slavic wisdom of pre-Christian times, the beginning of which, thanks to various religions, everyone knows: “WHEN THEY Strike ON THE RIGHT CHEEK, SUBSTITUTE THE LEFT ...” But our ancestors, it turns out, had a continuation: “BUT DO NOT LET IT BE HIT!”. Such a “commandment” does not suit the authorities. What does "don't hit me" mean? No dears! You must reconcile! We will beat you, and you turn different cheeks.

How often do we hear to this day the expression: "FUCK THE GOAT BAYAN"? Some of the most inquisitive minds wonder what the hell? What is it about? Yes, because no one knows the continuation: "SHE IS SO FUN!"

"NEW BROOM SWEEPING IN A NEW WAY!" Everyone knows this alleged wisdom. For rulers, it is not a proverb at all, but an excuse. How I would like them to know the ending: “HOW IT BREAKS - LOOLS UNDER THE STORE!” How many "broken brooms" I have seen among politicians, businessmen and officials in my life!

And, finally, one of the most philosophical proverbs "THE HOLY PLACE IS NOT EMPTY". And it turned out to be half-hearted, because then it sounded too threatening: “AND EMPTY PLACE IS NOT HOLY!”.

WEDDING

In the Slavic pantheon there was a goddess called Sva. She sat at the spindle and wove the thread of life. The syllable "VA", when the first speech was born, meant "SEED". Most likely, because, sorry for the documentary details, while spewing out the seed, the male shouted out “WA” in ecstasy! The memory of this exclamation is still preserved in many Western languages. WOW! And now it expresses admiration, only not for the seed and not for the number of children, but in general... Anything... In a word, the name of the goddess SVA seemed to indicate that she helps to sow the seeds of new lives. Later, on behalf of the goddess herself, such a word, pleasant for Russian hearing, came about - “WEDDING!”.

* * *

Probably in some Russian provinces, weddings were celebrated so famously that the word was pronounced "SVARBA", as if from the word "SVARA". And even the guests were called "WELDING GUESTS". That is, they came in advance in order to arrange a quarrel.

But personally, I’m much more fond of such long-standing words that caress the ear, like “WEDDING”, “WEDDING” ... From them, an appetite immediately appears.

And although everyone has forgotten about the goddess Swa, her name lives on in our speeches. Not to mention the songs: “OH, THIS WEDDING, WEDDING, WEDDING SING AND DANCED ...” So until now we unconsciously revere the forgotten goddess who sows the seeds for the continuation of the Family!

BRIDE

In ancient times, a bride was called a girl who had not yet received the news that they wanted to marry her. VESTOY - the one to which the offer was received. When VESTA got married, she was already considered a VEDUNA, because she already knew what to do and what was the meaning of her life. And when, according to the Vedan, she gave birth to her first child, she turned from a VEDUNIA into a WITCH! The word "WITCH" in those distant times of the Golden Age of mankind was formed from the reduction of two words: "KNOWING MOTHER".

In our time, I do not advise calling mothers "WITCHES". After what happened in history, this word changed its meaning to the opposite. It happened with other words as well. "SUFFER" - meant "REMOVE SUFFER". But, when what was removed had to be given to the owner, to work "for an uncle", the word "SUFFER" began to mean "TORCH". How else? After all, to work in order to give - how to suffer!

* * *

When the world obeyed the peasants, in their desire to deprive women of their spiritual strength, the latter did their best to turn many words from benevolent towards the female sex into offensive ones. Apparently, fearing that power could again return to the women, the peasants have been engaged in this business for several millennia. And they were very successful! For example, today the most insulting curse addressed to the mother in very distant times of women's rule meant the wish to continue the KIND!

* * *

And the well-known legend that a woman was created from a man’s rib began to be interpreted very humiliatingly for women. I'm sure not without intent. The fact is that the word "RIBRO" had a second meaning - "ESSENCE". "THE QUESTION IS AN EDGE" is a question in essence! So, dear women, do not complex - you are not created from a scrap of a male torso, but in fact, like men. What's more... it's no coincidence that a body part is called a rib. It is the ribs that protect those very delicate organs on which life depends. This means that women are created as a protection for more tender and traumatized, but life-giving, men.

WIFE - WOMAN

In the Ukrainian language, many more ancient words are still preserved than in Russian. Suffice it to recall that "WIFE" in Ukrainian is "Druzhina". That is, the wife, first of all, should be a friend! And spiritual protection. In Russian, it was reduced to the word "WIFE". How would it be simplified to - "LIFE ON!" At some stage in the development of mankind, it became humiliating for peasants to consider their wife as protection. In addition, their main task now was to fight. And the word "team" by itself "crawled" to the army. And the duties of the wife were reduced. She no longer had to be a friend.

* * *

The word "WOMAN" is also interesting. Dear women, do not be offended, it was formed a long time ago, and has nothing to do with you, today. "WOMAN" is a "WINTER WIFE"! Maybe that's why we call women only those who have lost their virginity. Otherwise, not a woman, but a girl. And there is no vulgarity in this. Just deprived of virginity for procreation! The word "SEX" did not exist in ancient times. It appeared on Earth, you won't believe... - together with DEMOCRACY! Our parents never used it. Therefore, when the “tough democrats” laugh at the fact that there was no sex in the USSR, they are right. There was no SEX. There was LOVE!

GROOM

The first thing that comes to mind is the man over whom the wife now and then “ha-ha-ha”. It seemed like he was joking. However, in every joke there is a considerable amount of truth. No one in the people was laughed at so much as the suitors. In all vaudeville, in all buffoon scenes, there was always a clown or an undersized groom. The very shades of words related to the “groom” speak for themselves: “groom” - it seems like a shock can happen from such a groom! And also: "gender", "gender" and even ... "zhenishishkin"! That is, you will only hurt yourself if you contact him. And what verbs have budded from the GROOM? "MARGIN", "MARGIN", "MARGIN" and "WOMENESS". It meant grooms who send matchmakers to all brides, and then do not marry.

Surely there were others, but now we can’t dig them all out.

Why were suitors laughed at? Because they always made themselves out to be cool: the matchmakers were sent to the brides, instead of going to their beloved himself and boldly, like a hero, right in her face to say: “I LOVE YOU!” Then even more courageously ask: “DO YOU LOVE ME?” No-ee! Is not cool. It's cool to send a matchmaker, to dress her more expensively, so that you can immediately see - the groom is not an easy one! Cool!!!

* * *

One of my very rich acquaintances fell in love with a girl who lived in a simple "Khrushchev". Her entire entrance was covered with both obscene language and declarations of love to various girls who lived on other floors. My well-to-do acquaintance remembered his romantic poor youth and also decided to confess his love to his new "dream" on the wall of the bay in front of her apartment. But he did not write himself. Zapadlo him was - almost an oligarch! He hired a painter who came with a bucket of paint, moreover, indelible, modern, expensive, and neatly, professionally, stenciled the whole wall: “I LOVE YOU, LENA!” I put three exclamation marks and ... the signature of my customer! Also on a stencil.

Well, the people always knew the truth and expressed it without hesitation: “A thin groom always sends a matchmaker, but a good one will find his own love!”

BROTHER - SISTER

The word "BROTHER" most likely consists of syllables denoting "GOD" and the light "RA". Of course, there is no scientific evidence for such a fantasy. But the word itself is so bright that even semi-criminal sidekicks brought up by a radio chanson often call each other "BROTHER", "BROTHER", "BRATHER", "BRATELLA" ... And this is not accidental. The united squads of princes, which are not much different from the modern lads, were called "ARMY", and when they went to fight for a holy cause, - "GOD'S ARMY". Fighters at GOD'S ARMY - BROTHERS!

Of course, today's bandits cannot be called God's army. But among them at least come across those who value friendship and brotherhood. But among businessmen and officials you cannot filter out such people. Therefore, calling the kid "BROTHER" is normal in our time. But it would never occur to anyone to turn to an official: “HELP ME, BROTHER!” Yes, and the official will be offended. He thinks he doesn’t want to pay, it seems like he decided to take a ride to the darmovshchina with a relative. In general, the word "BROTHER" in a broad sense means "NOT A TRAITOR". After all, you see, it is impossible to say: "BROTHERHOOD OF TRAITORS".

But in order to guess what the essence of the word "SISTER" is, I had to dig a lot in our distant, deep times. It turned out that "SISTRA" means "SIT AT THE HEART OF RA." That is, the sister must keep the fire, the hearth in the family, throw firewood into the stove, keep the hut warm. Or, as they began to say later, the comfort of HOME.

DAUGHTER

From the word "EYES". "To-eyes." EYES - enchant! "CHARM" - from "CHARA". CHARA - the feeling of "Ra" (sunshine). A charming person is one whose eyes radiate light. No wonder they say: "HAPPY, ALREADY SHINES!" Happy people always enchant, enchant!

Of course, you can find fault with the fact that I consider the same words in which different vowels: ochi-ocha, charo-chary, instead of "cha" - "chu" ... Those who dealt with the etymology of words know that the carriers of information in words are, first of all, consonants. Therefore, books in some ancient languages ​​are written without vowels. The Jewish sacred Torah, for example, consists of only consonants. I will give the simplest example of how you can guess the whole word by several main letters: on the radial highways that lead from the center of Moscow, you can find signs: "SHRM" and "DMD". It is immediately clear to everyone that these are Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo. Vowels, it seems, are not needed - why waste paint in vain, lengthen the pointer.

However, back to our Charming Daughters. As the old people used to say back in the last century, daughters come to their parents “for Charming”.

Not without reason in Russian there are only affectionate words in relation to daughters: “DAUGHTER”, “DAUGHTER”, “DAUGHTER”, “DAUGHTER”, “DONYUSHKA”, “DOTKA” ... And not a single humiliating word, such as “DAUGHTER” or "DAUGHTER"...

Only, gentlemen, comedians, it is not necessary to derive the word "DAUGHTERS" from "CHURKI". And joke that these are children from Central Asia.

* * *

Sometimes I marvel at merchant's intuition. Coming up with the names of their companies, they sometimes get into the top ten! They give names from words that, thanks to ancestral memory, still "CHARM" Slavic sucker clients. So, in the 90s, one of the banks that arranged the money pyramid was called CHARA. Everyone was charmed and thrown! So in our time with the words and must be handled with care!

As a child, I wrote poetry. Very bad. He did not “create” a single quatrain to boast now. The rhymes were the most banal, for example: "daughter - night"! It turns out that these words do not rhyme by accident.
"DAUGHTER" - "UP TO EYES", "NIGHT" - "NO EYES"

RA

Many Russian words contain the syllable "RA". Today, many people already know that, as a rule, it means sunlight: RADUGA - a bright arc, JOY - to get "RA", WORK - then the Joy of God, TEMPLE - the storehouse of "RA" ... and many other words: Dawn, RAsa , Early - there is no “RA” yet ... Until now, the kids in their counting rhymes do not pronounce “one, two, three”, but “one, two, three”! “ONE” is a word older than “one”. It seemed to indicate that the first of any act should be dedicated to the sun and light. There is nothing more important than the sun in the world! Without sunlight, life on Earth is impossible. Who worships "LIGHT", that "HOLY".

It is strange that most philologists consider such reasoning to be amateurish fiction. Like, why did the sun have to be called "RA"? But it's simple! With dawn, all living things wake up on Earth: birds, animals in the forests, jungles, prairies, savannahs begin to knead their voices. I happened to spend the night in the jungles of Brazil, and in tents at the foot of Kilimanjaro. Every morning I woke up with the sunrise. There is no better alarm clock than the growl of an animal at dawn. Once upon a time, our ancestors, the “first-persons,” awakened in the same way. They didn't "scuttle around" in nightclubs and discos with karaoke. They went to bed with the onset of darkness, and woke up with the first roosters, flies and surrounding animals, just like me in a tent under Kilimanjaro. Together with all of them, they too joyfully, half-yawning, growled, seeing the first rays of the sun. I am sure that the word "SPEECH" comes from the word "GROW". Try rolling and lingering "R-R-R", after which, imagining yourself as the ancestor of mankind, open your mouth in order to prolong the greeting to the sun. You will succeed ... "RA"! That's the whole secret. For many, many millennia, living in caves, forests, river banks, lakes, our great-ancestors made the sound “RA”, waking up, yawning and rejoicing at the first rays of the sun. With the development of consciousness, these processes began to be perceived inseparably, as the Russian government and Gazprom. So "RA" is one of the main first words of human proto-speech, which began to form from a simple growl.

Disputes of what origin: Turkic or Aryan - the battle cry "Hurrah!" meaningless. This is a universal morning greeting to the sun! And from whom it first sounded as a call to battle, it does not matter. The main thing is that if in the morning you raise your hands, palms facing the rising sun, and several times protractedly and resoundingly say: “Hurrah! HURRAH! Hurray! ”, you will feel how the whole body starts up, and you will be charged with joyful solar energy for the whole day!

SON

Where did such a seemingly mysterious word come from? What does it look like? What does it oblige? If the daughter is for charm, then what is the son for? There must be some secret meaning hidden in this short word. After all, just like that, out of nowhere, words did not appear, they did not fall from the sky.

"SON" - the basis of the family! "OH-SON-OVA"! Say "BASE" clearly, without lingering on the lisping "S", and listen. Between "C" and "H" a certain semi-vowel, similar to "Y", will surely creep in. Until several language reforms, indefinite sounds were called semivowels in Russia, connecting difficult-to-pronounce merged consonants. They even had special badges-letters. From this speech was distinguished by greater melodiousness than modern. When the "extra" letters were eliminated, the smoothness of the song was broken, and a specific hard "Y" appeared in some words.

All this means that the SONs ​​are creating a new life. And so, again and again for the glory of the KIND! It may very well be that both “AGAIN” and “NEW” budded off from this “twig” and went into independent life!

It is no coincidence that the expression "SONS OF GOD". This does not mean that only men are descended from God. Vice versa! The most ancient phrase, as it were, emphasizes that both women and men who believe in God are the SONS of the Creator on Earth. It is not for nothing that the whole younger generation is often called “SONS”.

NANNY

But the most interesting thing was to get to the bottom of the origins of the "SON-BASE". I had to turn to the children again for help. To their childish language. Why to them? Because at all times, in all nations, babies have always “babbled” the same way. Peoples changed, languages ​​branched out, but the children's language remained the same. Natural! THE BABYLON PANDITION HAPPENED TO ADULTS ONLY! Therefore, the spring origins of the first language must be sought in children's babble and muttering.

Children generally come to us from the invisible world, like God's prompts. First, by educating them, we ourselves become smarter. True, not great. And instead of listening to our "little gods", we re-educate them into people! Although it is they who can sometimes give us the keys to many clues. First of all, to what concerns our language. After all, if babies at all times "babbled" the same way, then at the dawn of the birth of human speech, their "first sounds" were the same. Since there was no speech yet, adults tried to talk to the children, imitating their "mumbling". CHILDREN BECAME "LIGHTERS" OF FUTURE LANGUAGES OF HUMANITY! It was in communicating with children, feeding them, taking care of them, that adults began to develop their vocal abilities. The ligaments were strengthened, the "nucleoli" of the original words were glued together into "atoms", and in the future into complex "molecules". But the first children's "parcels" were still preserved in them.

Now back to "SON" and other words.

When a child wants something, he still pronounces “NA” or “NA”. If you really want - "NYA-NYA." Until now, women who care for children are called "Nanny". Literally, "Nanny" means the one who gives the children everything they want.

Especially the word has become popular recently. Many prosperous families proliferated. Cool kids especially want a lot of things. Therefore, a nanny is one of the most common professions today. Former secondary school teachers, university teachers, trade union and party workers, employees of scientific research institutes, professors and doctors ... That is, the level of development of nannies is many times higher than the intelligence of those for whom they work. Quite a positive process! Maybe someday a smarter generation will grow up.

* * *

However, let's return to the main thing - to one of the keys-springs - "NYA". In that distant universal proto-language, “NYA” meant “ME”. Confirmation of this can be found in ancient Russian manuscripts, where instead of "ME" it was also written "NYA". Apparently, "M" stuck to "NYA" when a person began to believe more in material happiness than in sincere happiness. “M” joined “NU” from two sides: “M-NU” began to mean uncompromising “ME”, and “YUM-YUM!” - "I want to eat".

The word "THIS" is recent. In those ancient times, it was difficult to pronounce it. They said either "SE" or "THAT". Even to this day, the expression “TO-SE” has reached! "SE" - "HERE". "THAT" - "THAT". Years, centuries, millennia passed. Monosyllabic primary sounds, like atoms, had many free valences, and they began to bind into the simplest "molecules". "SE" connected with "NYA", it turned out "SNYA". I remind you that between "C" and "H" for easier pronunciation there was a semi-vowel, similar to today's sound "Y" - "SON". That is, the root of the future words "BASE" and "SON" meant "THIS IS FOR ME"! The “SON” is born to be the basis of the family when the parents grow old: “THE FIRST SON TO THE KING, THE SECOND TO THE WAR, THE THIRD ONE TO OUR OLD AGE!”

GRANDMOTHER

One of the most affectionate words in the universal human dictionary “GRANDMA” also appeared thanks to children. When they are hurt, they mutter something between "BO-BO" and "BA-BA". So gradually "BABA" was assigned to the older women in the family, since it was they who first of all treated the children. The kids especially appreciated them, treated them affectionately and tenderly. Therefore, the most affectionate suffix "-SHK" was added by itself to the children's word "BABA". It turned out "GRANDMA".

Of course, foreigners are far from such reflections. But “GRANDMA” sounds fascinating to them too. After all, their languages ​​also came from the children's proto-language. But over the centuries, on the way to business civilization, they lost the natural fundamental principle. Therefore, those foreigners who come to Russia like the word "GRANDMA" very much. They do not translate it into their native languages, but pronounce it in Russian, only they put the stress in the wrong place - “BABUSHKA”.

* * *

Few people know that in English the Russian word "babushka" means "scarf". Russian grandmothers always wore scarves and tied their heads with them, not only in church. In stylistics, the technique when a word is transferred to another object or phenomenon by contiguity (for example, a part - a whole) is called metonymy.
Something similar happened with the Russian word "FAST", which was transferred to the French eateries and eateries - "BISTRO".
This story is well known. When, after the victory over Napoleon, Russian troops entered Paris, Cossacks, soldiers, officers fell in love with Parisian cafes.
They often ran into them - the Russians are always in a hurry - they hastily made an order and said to the waiter: “Come on, quickly, quickly!” At the same time, they gave tea much more generously than the British or Italians. In order to attract more Russian “clients”, the word “FAST” appeared above the entrance to many Parisian eateries, written, of course, in Latin letters.

WOMAN

If you carefully read Russian folk tales, you will notice that Baba Yaga, although evil and terrible, has never eaten anyone in any fairy tale. Even though it scared everyone. And in the stove, not a single child, as promised, was burned. So only ... she will scatter the bones around the hut so that everyone is afraid of her, but in fact she was almost a good-natured woman.

Again, this is no accident. Echoes of those ancient times are felt in fairy tales, when many words had other meanings. In addition to the elders in the ROD, “BABAS” began to be called all healers and even doctors ... male! In short, "BABA" in the language of the Stone Age is a doctor. And the short word "YAGA" is short for "FIRE". Sick children were placed closer to the fire so that the "EVIL" would burn out. So "BABA YAGA" is "BABA-FIRE"! In our opinion, a local doctor.

Healers, as well as priestesses and rulers, were worshiped. In their honor, idols and idols were carved from stones and boulders. These ancient monuments were called “BABY”. By the way, archaeologists still call them that. For example, the famous "SCYTHIAN BABES", which are strewn throughout the south of Russia and Ukraine.

GRANDFATHER

Father of father or mother. "D" and "T" often alternate in words. If you pronounce "YATYA" firmly, without excessive tenderness, you get either "UNCLE" or "GRANDPAD". That is, it seems like relatives who descended from "TYATIA", but not as close as "TYATIA" itself.

Later, two more words appeared: "GREAT-GRANDFATHERS" and "GREAT-GRANDFATHERS". "PRASCHUR" from the word "SHUR". Same as CHUR. Both of these half-words-half-exclamations were pronounced in ancient spells and amulets: “Chur me! Fuck him! Until now, we sometimes say: "SHUN". "Ancestors" were called the elders in the family, who protected their community from evil forces. Today "STOP ME!" only children exclaim when they play hide-and-seek. And "PRASCHUR" became antique.

"GREAT-GRANDFATHERS" is a simpler word. It does not carry any second meaning. Just the ancestors from which we descended - the descendants. "PREDASHURY" was more often used until the generic structure of society among the Slavs was replaced by a rigid state. There was no constitution and no criminal code. They lived according to the laws of the family - by right! The ancestors followed this. For example, under what moon should a child be conceived so that he grows up as a good fellow? What medicine to drink at sunrise, and what at sunset? How to choose a bride according to KON? "KONOM" was called "traditions of the family." But gradually the unwritten KONS of nature began to be replaced by written laws. Ancestors with their natural "backward" knowledge turned into a universal laughing stock. After all, it is already clear that not the one who is conceived at dawn will become a good fellow, but who will live according to the Constitution, and choose the bride according to the dowry. The state no longer needed the amulets of the infirm old people. Armies, police and all kinds of “administrations” began to work as amulets. This is how wizards-ancestors turned into ordinary great-grandfathers.

What we today call the prefix "PRA" in those ancient times was a full-fledged word. It pointed to those who live "PO - RA" That is, they worship the light. So great-grandfathers is not such a simple word. It emphasizes that they lived in daylight. Honoring the horses of nature.

Children still feel the nature of words better than adults. Therefore, they have a special love for grandfathers. It was they who, as in the case of “GRANDMA”, caressed the harsh-sounding “Grandfather” with the suffix “Shka”. "GRANDFATHER"!

* * *

This is how time has changed, and with it native words in just a couple of thousand years. Nowadays, grandfather is the one who needs to be taken care of, because he can’t do anything, he doesn’t know how, and no one with him, except for his own relatives, and even then not always, is not considered. And only kids idolize their grandfathers! And grandfathers feel like real ancestors when they read Russian folk tales to them so that they don’t forget where they come from. So, despite any changes and reforms, grandparents continue to be amulets of our children. And once protected the whole family! Veche was even going from ancestors. Later it will become known as the People's Assembly. Even later - the Supreme Council. And finally ... - Duma! And there are now far from ancestors and not even grandfathers. Judging by the manners, generally teenagers. In their desire to shoot from "slingshots" and brag about whose hut is cooler, they forgot about the KONs of nature so much that they do not even suspect how it is necessary to honor the elders. And therefore, the poorest in our country are veterans. And in one of the laws on pensions, the retirement age is indicated by the phrase " survival time". It's like hating your ancestors to call the wisest age for a person " survival time"?! And they don’t even have the ingenuity to guess that they themselves will soon be at the same age. survival».

* * *

A lot of words were formed from the KON root: iKONA, on KON, from the beginning, the Book, the Prince.

KOH is always true!

CON is given by nature, by God.

The law is written by people, so it often does not coincide with "KON" and is called "law" accordingly. That is, outside the "KONA". People who make laws sometimes mistakenly believe that they are omnipotent and stronger than nature. This is one of the most serious delusions of mankind. Man is part of nature. The part cannot defeat the whole! Or rather, maybe, but only if this part is a cancerous tumor.

* * *

Another of the main words, in addition to "KONA", which was used in "ROD", was the word "ROCK". It meant "FATE".

At "ROCK" - at "FATE".

"For future use" - what is for the benefit of "FATE".

"FATAL" - predetermined by "FATE".

Even in modern foreign languages, this root word has retained its power: "CHANGING" - the exchange of "FATES"!

What am I getting at? You have to be more careful with today's trendy music. "HEAVY ROCK" is a hard fate! Music that makes life harder. I don't know a single happy metalhead who has a "ROCK FATE"!

CHILDREN

Genius is always simple. "CHILDREN" from the word "TITY". Yes, no need to smile! What do all babies do as soon as they are born? Stretch to titi. "TO TITI" is "CHILDREN"!

GRANDSON, GRANDDAUGHTER

There was such a common word, which is still found in the literature, "INOK". It meant not just a young man, but a young man who seeks to acquire knowledge. Grandparents, of course, dreamed of most of all to teach the mind-reason of the monks. To give them what they did not give to their own children. "MONOTS", in which they BELIEVE, are "Grandchildren". So if in the old way, "GRANDSONS" is the young generation that strives to become educated. And in a modern way, just the younger generation, which has nothing to do with education.

Grandparents in Russia were especially fond of their "growing hopes". Therefore, in relation to them in the Russian language there were no rude words either: "GRANDCHILD", "GRANDCHILD", "GRANDNUCHKA", "GRANDNUCHEK", "GRANDNUCHEK" ...

UNCLE

Mother's or father's sister. From the same childish first word "YATYA". The kids pronounced it indistinctly: “TYATYA”, “TATA”, “Aunt” ... When the speech of adults became more articulate, according to some incomprehensible laws of physics associated with natural resonant phenomena, the word “TYATYA” tried on and came up for some reason fathers, and "aunt" - their sisters. Most likely, because "TYATYA" is more affectionate. So, it is more suitable for someone who is dearer. "Aunt" sounds a little harsher, but also quite gentle. It's understandable... aunts loved to play with the children of their sisters and brothers, brought them gifts, candies, toys, jangles, scratchers, amusements... The children liked the lisping and hooting of aunts. Therefore, having seen in advance a guest who would not educate, they joyfully exclaimed something in between “TYATYA” and “Aunt”. When the “atoms” of words began to sinter into “molecules”, even more affectionate derivatives appeared: “Auntie”, “Auntie”, “Auntie”, “Auntie”, “TETUNYA”, “TETUSYA” ... Not in any language in relation to not the closest relatives there is no such amount of affection.

However, time passed - humanity was more and more clearly divided into the poor and the rich. Most of the "aunts" became impoverished. Trinkets and trinkets were given less and less. The children no longer felt the former tenderness for them. Shussies without gifts were not impressive. A new and even slightly mocking "Aunt" has appeared. Many of their aunts turned into accusers. Wealthy brothers and sisters came to the house no longer to play with their children, but simply to have dinner and drink tea for free. The greeting “Hello, I am your aunt” did not cause former joy among relatives. More like a nervous tic. There is even a proverb: Vodka - blame aunt!»

So gradually, from century to century, the former "TETUSHKI" and "TETUSI" became almost alien "Aunts". However, a holy word is never empty! And "Aunt" spread to all middle-aged women - from 30 to 70. And even older. Alien and native aunts seemed to be equal. There are new expressions: “Child, give it to that poor aunt!”, “Aunty, where are you going with your bags?”

They have gained a foothold, and I would even say, by our time, the words “Aunt” and “Aunt” have gained strength. "Aunt" and "Aunt" have different meanings. "TETI" practically do not differ from each other. This is a faceless mass of women, living their aunt's interests. They are peaceful, go shopping, feed pigeons, ride trams, trolleybuses, read newspapers, watch television series, manage to live on a pension and do not interfere in anything. One of the former nurses, to whom I went for injections in my youth, having already turned into an aunt at the age of forty, fell in love with the series so much that when she was told about a serious illness, she was genuinely upset and asked the doctor: “Could you be more precise how much longer do I have to live? Can I watch my favorite series?

Another thing is "Aunts"! They are of the same age as "TETY", but they have retained much more underused energy. Therefore, in addition to TV shows, they have another favorite activity - to go to demonstrations! In a word, "Aunts" are those who pretend that they care about people, in fact, they would be rude to all mankind with pleasure! Most of all, "TETOK" is interested in politics! They always, even in squares, walk with newspapers under their armpits. A brick is wrapped in a newspaper just in case. I think it is not by chance that the Women of Russia party, known in the 1990s, was popularly called the Aunts of Russia.

In general, now you rarely hear: "Aunty, come visit us" or: "Tetusya, give me money for a disco".

But the Western peoples decided the most radical issue with aunts.
In general, they recognize only rich aunts as relatives. And only they are taken care of - what if something falls from the inheritance? They are trying to surround them with as many doctors and medicines as possible, since no one brings the moment of sharing the inheritance closer as reliably as modern doctors and medicines.

There was also a proverb that seemed ridiculous to me since childhood: "HUNGER IS NOT A aunt." All my aunts had nothing to do with the word "hunger". They expanded from top to bottom, like tea women. It turns out that this proverb also had a continuation: “HUNGER IS NOT A aunt - A DEAR MOTHER!” As I now understand, from the "height" of a person who has lived, it was just advice - "DO NOT BURN". Moreover, sincere - from the mother, and not fake - from the lisping aunt.

UNCLE

Father's or mother's brother. Even more rigid than "Aunt" is the pronunciation of the same children's "YATYA". Compared to "AUNT", "UNCLE" is a tin! An uncle won't shed a tear just like that at the sight of a hooting baby. You can't beg for a lollipop from him. Although due to the soft sound of "I", something from "YATI", quite caring, was preserved in "UNCLE". With the change of the tribal structure of society to the state one, like "TETI", "UNCLES" also for the most part became impoverished. Today, the word "UNCLE" rarely refers to someone rich. It's hard to imagine an oligarch called "UNCLE". Worst case add: "It's a rich uncle!".

"UNCLES" don't drive Bentleys, Mercedes, and Lamborghinis... They don't have their own planes. "UNCLES" walk the streets, "ride" on trams, trolleybuses... They, like "UNCLES", are faceless. Therefore, the word "UNCLE" has acquired a somewhat ironic connotation in our time. Until now, you can often hear: What are you, uncle, crazy?" or: " Uncle, you weren't standing here!". Finally: " Tell me, uncle, it's not without reason that Moscow, burned down by fire ...". Not to mention: " My uncle, the most honest rules...". In general, the word "UNCLE" has lost all respect. And the fact that they were once also caring, there are only memories in the literature. Thanks to Gogol, Turgenev, Chekhov, we know that once "UNCLES" were called educators in wealthy families. In Pushkin's The Captain's Daughter, one of the main characters is Uncle Savelich. Yes, and a folk proverb confirms that "UNCLES" were not always faceless: "GOD - BOTTLE! SOVEREIGN - UNCLE!".

There was another proverb that answered the age-old Russian question, why do we live in such a "cloudy" way? " What is the uncle, such is the child!". Apparently, in this case, "UNCLE" means any ruler, from the king-president-premier to the head of the house administration.

* * *

Interestingly, quite a long time ago, the mother’s brother or father was called not “UNCLE”, but “VUI”. Or just "UY". Why? Hard to say. We have to include a satirist. Most likely, those first men in the first crowd looked so that at their sight one wanted to exclaim: “Oi!”

* * *

But it is even more interesting that the ironic attitude to the word "UNCLE" in Soviet times resulted in a derisive name for the symbolic ruler of America. "Uncle Sam". He was featured in Crocodile magazine, usually with a large belly in the form of a sack that read "$1,000,000". The hooked nose is an allusion to the Semitic origin of American bankers. He has a top hat on his head: he wants to appear like an aristocrat! Disgusting short little hands - "grab", smokes a cigar, lounging in an armchair and throwing his legs on the table, they say: "Put the pig at the table, she and her legs on the table!"

Such a creature could be born only from the sinful connection of the old man Hottabych with the great-grandmother of the old woman Izergil!

P.S. Of course, from the point of view of science, business thinking, and the ability to arrange one's life, mankind has developed extraordinary in history. But many affections and tenderness on the way to this development were lost. True, our native language keeps memories of them: "UNCLE", "UNCLE", "UNCLE". And how wonderful that theaters are still performing performances based on Dostoevsky's story "Uncle's Dream"! What a no, but still a reminder that not all uncles have to turn into Uncle Sam!

AFFECTIVE SUFFIX "-SHK-"

Grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, mother... finally, the sun! I will repeat myself specifically to emphasize once again that there are not so many affectionate words in relation to relatives in any language. And also a daughter-in-law, a brother, a mother-in-law ... and many others - you can’t list everything. How much sunny joy would be added to our lives if we used these words more often!

Everyone knows from school that the suffix "-SHK" is called a diminutive. As well as "-ChK". But "Cheka" still does not sound so gentle, since "CHEKA" is the first name of the KGB. Therefore, for me, a former Soviet citizen, the phrase “affectionate suffix “-chk” sounds as ridiculous as “gentle guillotine”.

However, back to the suffix "-shk". Why does he really caress our ears so much? The fact is that the syllable "KA" in our proto-language meant "SOUL". The modern word "repent" - translated from the ancient "cleanse the soul"! Many other words come from SOUL-KA. "KAPISHCHE" - "food for KA". For those who do not know or have forgotten what a temple is, I remind you that it is a clearing or a hill with holy stones, as well as idols and idols. People came there for repentance. Then they calmed down.

The word "STONE" also begins with "soul" - "KA". Apparently, stones in the Stone Age were treated as we are in our time to all kinds of recording devices. People believed that the stones absorbed, as it is now fashionable to say, "information": the feelings and thoughts of the one who sat on them grieved about his life. No wonder everyone likes the picture "Alyonushka on a pebble" so much. Old-timers-"witnesses" say that even in not so ancient times it was possible in some forgotten village to meet a wonderful old man who could put his ear to a boulder and joyfully exclaim: "I hear how ours are winning the Battle of Kulikovo!" So it is quite possible that in the Stone Age, boulders scattered all over the earth by a glacier, as well as megaliths, were the first KA-Internet on our planet! In general, I believe that the name "Stone Age" has a second, more subtle meaning: "the soulful age." Why? Yes, because people then did not fight, did not trade, obeyed their ancestors, valued their kind ... And, knowing the KONS of nature, they were a joyful part of this nature, like birds, butterflies, bees ... No wonder even in historical science there is such a figurative concept "Golden Age of Humanity".

Another of the most popular words today - "BYE" - is also ancient. It admonishes: "GO TO YOUR OWN!". That is why we still, having said goodbye ten or twenty times, cannot leave the guests until we say "BYE".

It would seem that the word "KADIK" has nothing to do with the soul. It has! How do they talk about friends? "A bosom friend." That is, behind the soul! Moreover, the Adam's apple itself is located in the place where it is easiest to strangle a person. That is, take for "SOUL" - "KA".

That is why we still, thanks to our ancestral memory, “caress” the names of children with the suffix “-K”: Mishka, Lenka, daughter, even ... son! And many other words: father, mother... And don't be surprised... vodka! Yes, I wasn't joking. Back in the days of Yaroslav the Wise, vodka was called non-alcoholic healing water infusions on medicinal herbs. Before drinking them for health, it was necessary, according to the "KON", to clink glasses in order to recharge the potion with the clink of glasses. And say hello! Kind words are especially energizing. Of course, our ancestors were not quantum physicists. But they felt nature much better than today's scientists, many of whom had never seen the dawn for the last time.

* * *

The word "VODKA" changed its meaning when foreign traders poured into Russia. The word "marketing" did not exist at that time, but marketing itself already existed. Merchants and marketing, like Lenin and the party, are twin brothers. It was with their marketing flair that medieval traders identified the word “brand”. After that, they called the most expensive and strong alcoholic drinks “VODKA”. Brand worked! The gullible Slavic ear began to turn the whole nation into alcoholics. Until now, you sometimes hear that vodka heals! Like, you will drink every day, there will be no plaques in the vessels, you will die healthy. And the fact that the liver shrinks and turns into the size of a button, while everyone forgets. That is, in relation to Russian drunkenness, the first phrase from the Bible is quite suitable: “In the beginning was the word”! I just want to continue: “And the word was - vodka!” But this is blasphemy.

In general, the drinks have changed, but the desire to clink glasses, say laudatory words of toast to each other and recharge remains to this day. Only toasts turned into toasts, and so that, God forbid, people would not remember the former truth and start clinking glasses with valocordin and dissolved aspirin "Oops", they launched a pseudo-sign among the people that it is allowed to clink glasses only with glasses in which expensive alcoholic drinks. If you clink glasses with water or lemonade, not to mention mineral water, trouble is inevitable!

In general, the struggle with the "soul-KA" continues. Caressed by the suffix "-K" names are now considered rude. Of course! In the West, after all, John is not called “Junk”, and Tom is called “Tomka”, and Bush is called “Bushka”, and Obama is called “Obamka” ...

P.S. Do not believe the politicians who breed us, traders and other taxi drivers: clink glasses with valerian, motherwort infusion, flax seed decoction, potassium permanganate solution ... and chamomile! Unless, of course, it is poured into a glass, and not into a washing pear. And, of course, charge each other with kind words! And then our “KA” will come to life, and Sashki will not call themselves Alex, Vanka - John, Lenka - Helen, Yurka - Georges, Petka - Peters ...

mother-in-law

Husband's mother. It comes from the verb "COMFORT". I can’t even believe that there were times when mothers-in-law consoled and amused. True, once I myself heard how in one Old Believer Altai community one of the peasants said not “mother-in-law”, but “mother-in-law”!

At the same time of nationwide Russian impoverishment, mothers-in-law, apparently, not only became impoverished, but also became angry. And, of course, for sons-in-law. And who else? It was necessary to find a switchman in the family. The son-in-law is not a relative, side. Seems like he got lost. So, it will fit the role of a switchman. The sons-in-law, too, did not remain in debt and answered with proverbs: “A mother-in-law has a LEAN POCKET!” and “I WAS AT THE MOTHER-IN-YES HAPPY TO LEFT!”

Wisdom worked. Buffoons have always portrayed the mother-in-law as skinny. Allegedly from constant anger at the young. In Soviet times, the word "mother-in-law" generally became a favorite among pop comedians and was included in a special set of funny topics along with a crush on a bus, a bribe-taker, a queue for sausage and a Georgian cap-airfield ...

In another Old Believer village, one sweet aunt in a headscarf unexpectedly praised me: “Among humorists, we respect you for never joking with your mother-in-law! Will be rewarded! You can't joke about a saint!"

How! There are still whole villages on earth in which the mother-in-law is revered as a saint! So, not everything is so bad - not all mother-in-laws have skinny pockets! And if the pocket is thin, then the soul is rich. After all, as the popular proverb says: “It’s bad not when your pocket is empty, but when your heart is sad!”

* * *

One of the comedians convinced me that the word "TYOSCHA" came from two words: "Aunt" and "SHA", they say: "Aunt, sha! Shut up! Tired." Well, both versions can be combined. Judging by classical literature, the mother-in-law was really talkative. And there was no greater consolation than when they fell silent!

TEST

Husband's father. As if two words embraced: "AMAZING" and "HONOR". It was the father-in-law in the family who had to oversee the observance of the laws of honor. This is especially evident from the popular proverb: “THE SON IN LOVE TO TAKE, AND THE FAULTY LOVES HONOR!”

Like mothers-in-law, father-in-laws gradually lost their original strength. And although they didn’t laugh at them, as at their wives, all the same, a slight irony crept even into folk wisdom: “Why should I have a father-in-law, WHEN THERE IS NOTHING TO EAT!”. Although the people took root quite good sayings in their address: "Test-in-law DOES NOT LIKE REVENGE, BUT LOVES EAT!". Subtly noted! A fat person is rarely vindictive. He's too lazy to move. Especially for something as small as revenge.

Much has changed with the advent of serfdom in Russia. A people of workers has become a people of slaves. Divided not by wisdom and seniority, but by the amount acquired, conquered and stolen. I didn’t lose one thing - a sense of humor: “RESPECT YOUR HONOR IN YOUNG TIME, AND YOUR DAW WITH HUNGER!”

mother-in-law - mother-in-law

Wife's parents. It stands for very simply - "OWN BLOOD". That is ... intermarried! They became theirs. In some provinces of Ancient Russia, the mothers of husbands were so caring that today's "mother-in-law" was pronounced through "I" - "SVYAKROV" - "HOLY BLOOD". Now they write "Mother-in-Law". Apparently, from "BLOOD CLUTTERED".

The example of all relatives shows how the attitude towards relatives has changed in history. If earlier, along with “mother-in-law”, “mother-in-law” was used, then more and more often they began to say “mother-in-law”. Even the word-horror story "SVEKRUHA" appeared. Kind of like a mother-in-law ready to get wet. However, our benevolent people justified all the mother-in-law antics against the young: “WHY DOESN'T THE MOTHER-LIGHT-IN-LESS BELIEVE? BECAUSE IT REMEMBERS YOUR YOUTH! WHY IS THE YOUNG BEAT? BECAUSE WHAT WAS WILL NOT BE RETURNED ALREADY!”

I think that life in Russia will begin to improve not when the economic indicators for oil production and production of liquefied gas per capita increase, but when families start saying “SVEKROVUSHKA” and “SVEKRUSHEK” again!

son-in-law

Daughter's husband. From the word "TAKE". I clarify - to marry a daughter, and not money from a mother-in-law. Although any mother-in-law believes that the opposite is true. Of the folk wisdom in relation to the sons-in-law, I will mention only two: “A SON-IN-LAW TO TAKE”, “NEITHER GIVE, NOR TAKE - A REAL SON-IN-LAW!”.

And a modern one: “THE SON OF A BANKER CAN BE A DECENT PERSON, BUT A SON IN SON NEVER!” Although I came up with the last proverb back in the 90s myself. The daughters of bankers were then hunted by young people. And the bandits hunted for the bankers. Since then, I have heard several times how my "observer" was repeated among the people, thinking that this is an ancient proverb. We are still trustworthy people. They believe that bankers were in Russia even at the time when proverbs were born. That is, bankers are the eternal evil of Russia!

SNOHA

Son's wife. She is the bride. Naturally, from the word "SON". Sons wife. Where the syllable "HA" came from is anyone's guess. Either the relatives laughed all the time over their son's wife, or they found fault with her. Or maybe both. It was the young women who were brought into the house that were considered special clumsies: they didn’t clean up the apartment like that, they didn’t boil the kettle like that, they didn’t fry eggs like that ... In general, there is no special love in the word “SNOHA”. Rather, a slight mockery and hostility. It was not for nothing that in the outback the daughter-in-law was often called "Snooty". In one of the dictionaries it is specified: from the word "INTERACT". Rough, of course. True, in another dictionary this rudeness is explained: "Snoshelnitsy" - girls living with unmarried sons. And those who, despite being unmarried, liked their father and mother, regularly helped with the housework, boiled the kettle correctly and knew how to fry scrambled eggs from three eggs, they called it more attractive:

The failed groom, who never managed to get married, was popularly dubbed the savory “Snoshnik”.

In general, if we follow popular notions, our youth today consists entirely of SLOMERS and SLOMERS. And only sometimes come across ... - SOSSHENKI!

SHURIN

Brother-in-law. Oh, and I had to sweat to get to the bottom of the origins of this mysterious word. What only points of view do not exist among the people. One - from the word "ZURIT". It seems like they were scolded all the time. Another quite incredible - from the root "SHCHUR". “FAT-IN-Law LOVES HONOR, BUT BRAWL-IN EYES SCREEN!” Here it is necessary to explain that people in the old days squinted not only from the sun, but also from the evil eye. That is, the cunning Leninist squint is not just the leader of the proletariat plotting a cunning revolution, but also afraid of damage!

In fact, everything is much simpler. "SHURA" called viscous liquids. The verb "SHURIT" was used when knitting brooms, wicker fences and, apparently, some other items unknown to us today from dry branches. Most likely, "SHURT" is related to "SHURT". After all, when something is knitted, especially from dry branches or reeds, they rustle. That is, "SURIN" is simply "RELATED" - "SHURSHUCHIK"! As if we have attached you to ourselves, and all together now in one "related broom".

sister-in-law

Husband's sister. From the word "evil". It's a shame, but you can't hide from the truth. In some corners of vast Russia, "ZLOVKA" was pronounced. Oh, and the young wives hated the sisters of their husbands! It is clear that it was the sister who was always jealous of her brother and believed that her brother’s wife does everything at random, not in the way that is customary in their family: she does not carefully weed the garden, holds the yoke crookedly, champs loudly at the table - louder than her own husband! I completely lost my mind!

The most eloquent of all about the attitude towards sister-in-law is the expression: "SIS-IN-LIGHT - A VIPER'S HEAD." And also "Sister-in-law - KOLOTOVKA". Naturally, the young wife liked it more when her husband had a brother than a sister. And even better two brothers or three. And so that they were all handsome, they coveted and stared at her. These secret dreams of young wives shine through the popular proverb: “Seven trees are better than one sister-in-law!”. But this is completely dreamed up!

SVOYAK

In Russia, at first they called brother-in-laws everyone with whom it was pleasant to spend time. That is, drink, eat, say: " I respect you!"If they answer:" And I you!”, which means it’s definitely yours. By the way, the proverb that we now know about fishermen applied at that time to brother-in-law: “ Brother-in-law sees from afar».

Why did they begin to call distant relatives that way, not by blood? Most likely because they were invited to the house when they wanted to have a drink with someone. But not with strangers and not with relatives. The brother-in-laws were especially suitable for this business. Like and not strangers, and not relatives. So, something between a little familiar and native. Even with a brother, sometimes they did not have such a “friendship” as with a brother-in-law. After all, a brother could by nature turn out to be an uninteresting, boring person - that is, a non-drinker! And there were so many brothers-in-law among Russian relatives that, according to the theory of probability, at least someone will respond at the right time: “BROTHERS TO A BEAR - FAMILY TO MEDOVUKHA!”

DEVER

Brother husband. From the word "Trust". To whom, if not him, the young wife of her brother could entrust all the most intimate. Sometimes even herself.

There is another point of view. The husband's brother was called "DEVER" not because he was trusted, but because more often than others, they pointed to the door. Like, get out of here with your advice, there’s nothing to pretend to be a senior pioneer leader. Personally, I do not like this attitude towards the brother-in-law. I think that if he was shown the door, it was only after he had been trusted too much.

NEPHEW NIECE

From the word "TRIBE". Like, do not worry, we also consider you ours. You, like us, are branches of our tribal tree.

The suffixes "-NIK" and "-NITSA" in Russian, as a rule, meant belonging to something.

KNEE

Due to the numerous reforms of the language that were carried out before, two words were confused: “KNEE” and “CLAN”. Initially, the word "GENERATION" indicated the continuation of the clan "according to the clan." Semi-literate descendants singled out “KNEE” from it and began to use it completely at the wrong address. Roughly speaking, illiterate. Although figuratively. The expression "IN THE THIRD OR FOURTH KNEE" is impressive! It seems like Rod has already bent over several times, like a transformer arm.

SURNAME

It is believed that from the Greek word. Although the Russian decoding is guessed: “BY NAME!”. Or even more tenderly: "BY - CUTE!"

By the way, quite often in the Greek language instead of the Russian letter “P” there is “F”: “feast - fir”, “finger - fold”.

SPOUSE

Conjugate. In one harness. Husband and wife should not only move, but also think in the same direction!

STEPFATHER

Father of someone else's name.

STEPMOTHER

MOTHER ALIEN who always HATES! I never tire of being amazed at the wisdom of the Russian language. Whatever the word, then in the top ten!

WIDOW

No one asked anyone, no one could answer what the meaning of this word was. Although in Russia it was very popular, since there was almost no such time in the history of Russia that it did not fight. In general, by the end of the 19th century, there were more widows than broiler chickens in an American incubator. Russia was the most successful producer of widows in the world per capita of the male population.

One of the wits answered my question: “The word“ WIDOW ”means“ FOR PLEASURE. Almost guessed! When officers and other noble men died in battle, their former wives "PAID"! (At the same time, they said that they were put "in allowance"). Abbreviated as "WIDOW". “PLEASURE” and “PLEASURE” are really words with the same root. It turns out that widows really lived for themselves in pleasure. And why grieve? There was "CONTENT", there were no husbands - what else is needed for happiness? No wonder they said: "MERRY WIDOW" and "RICH WIDOW". And I have never heard: "JOYFUL WIDOWER". In general, the word "Widower" is rarer. This once again proves that women in Russia lived much longer, managing to exterminate their husbands even in those rare years when there was no war. In general, be that as it may, the word "WIDOW" was once very popular, because it was especially fond of men and comedians.

KROVNIK

"BLOOD RELATIONSHIP" - descent from the same parents. Kinship within the same family. There are two words in Russian that are very similar to each other: KROV and KROV. Actually the words are different. They have become equal in spelling and pronunciation recently.

The word "BLOOD" comes from the verb "COVER". From it, "COVER" was formed and reduced to "BLOOD". Sometimes they say not "BLOOD", but "ROOF".

The word is household, without a secret meaning. Related to him "BED", "COVER" and others ...

But the word "BLOOD" goes back to deeper knowledge. Suffice it to say that it was not pronounced "BLOOD", but "BLOOD". "K-RA!" To the light! That is, if we use today's terms, then "BLOOD" is that substance in the human body that absorbs "light". K-RA-REAL. REALITY, absorbing light - "RA".

The word "RED" once also did not denote the name of the color. “RED” was something very good and bright, beautiful... RED SQUARE is a square with a lot of light, not a place where everything is painted red. True, in Soviet times, when demonstrations were going on Red Square, it really turned red from flags, banners, balloons and the joyful red faces of the demonstrators in honor of the bright holiday. On the days of Soviet significant dates, “holy places” were opened from six in the morning, which means that the dates were considered holy!

So... The current red color was originally called "Scarlet". The syllable "AL" was added to words to give them grandeur. “AL” is “powerful”, “chief”... ALtar, ALatyr, ALtyn, Almaz... I know what many people are thinking about now - about ALCOHOL! Not our word, but this arrogant "AL" crept into it. Like, I'm the main drink in the world!

Why is one of the flowers named so? Because it is "Scarlet" that gives energy to all other colors. He is root. SCARLET is the energy of the lower chakra. Like a flame, it rushes up along the energy core of the body, and, changing all the colors of the rainbow, at the fontanel it turns into a creative, purple one.

And BLOOD was called ALOY. That is, the main component of a person. In many folk songs, "Scarlet BLOOD" is shed. Gradually, with the development of business thinking, the meanings of words shifted, moving away from the natural essence, and acquired new, more everyday colors. "SCARLET" has been changed to "RED". Sunlight, as before, was no longer revered. This is a non-profit business for today's mercantile civilizations. So, there is nothing to stick around in the sun. The first sound "A" was replaced by the "O" uniting people. "KRAVA" became "COW", "KRANA" became "CROWN", "KRAL" became "QUEEN", and "KRAV" became "BLOOD"!

The word "KROVNIK", that is, the same blood as us, has ceased to be used as unnecessary. If today one of the young people is asked what it means, they will probably answer, a guest worker who makes a roof for the new Russian. At worst, a Chechen, thirsting for blood revenge.

HOUSE

It seems that the word "HOUSE" is an ancient abbreviation of three words: "SPIRIT - FATHER-MOTHER". Moreover, the father and mother meant heavenly. That is, the HOUSE is a cathedral. A place where you feel what your heavenly parents want to tell you. Throughout Europe, the largest cathedrals were originally called "DOM". And so far: in Milan - the DOM, in Cologne - the DOM Cathedral, and even in Riga - the DOM Cathedral!

And the dwelling in which the family lived was called not a house, but "HATA". The modern syllable "HA" was once a full-fledged word in ancient times, meaning something like "calm." Indeed, when a person exhales with the sound "HA", he relaxes. Yogis know this well: to relieve tension, you need to repeat exercises with exhalation several times. It was from the last word that such words as “BREATHING”, “LAUGHING” were formed ... This is true. When a person laughs, he calms down and comes into balance. The audience wrote to me more than once in notes that they came to the concert with a headache, laughed, and ... it resolved - they leave healthy!

Oddly enough, “HA-TA” is also the oldest first word! Translated into modern "TO" - "calm". That is, people need housing in order to return after a “working day”, say, an unexpected meeting with a mammoth or a wild boar, and to come to balance, calm down in their “HOUSE” ... And not to invite guests and brag about those what a fancy hut we have!

* * *

Those who considered themselves smarter than others (as they would say today - the elite), constantly fussed, who always lacked something, who could not find their balance in any way, live in harmony with nature, who "mutilated" the calmness of the KIND, were expelled from tribes and were called "DEGENERATES" (dropped out of the KIND).

Outcasts also built huts on the outskirts, settlements, but their huts were already heaped up, for boasting, like today's new Russians. For show! By the way, the word "fancy" is also very accurate - it has the root "THIEF"! Cool huts did not calm, did not relax, did not give balance to those who all the time thought of only one thing - what more cool things to add to the ceilings, walls, platbands? Such a dwelling was already called not “HA-TA”, but “HA-ZA”. That is, "FOR-calm!"

Time passed, humanity multiplied, turning from the first crowd into the first people. The number of neighbors multiplied. Envy appeared: he is cooler! The number of "KhAZ" has grown. “KhAzyaystva” were formed, “KhAzyayeva” appeared ... I know very well that these words are written with an “O”. But we still pronounce them with the sound "A".

Many millennia will pass, and the word "KHAZA" will suddenly pop up in the ancestral memory of today's outcast criminals. The same steep and restless dwellings will be called "KHAZAS" again. And although outwardly they will look like cottages, villas, and in some places castles, in essence they will still remain thieves' "raspberries" - "KHAZAM"!

WOLF, BEAR AND BIRCH

Why is birch considered a favorite Russian tree? Because birches rarely grow alone. Most often, three, five, nine ... - a family! And the Slavs have always especially valued the family. Even mushrooms were loved by those that appear from under the ground as a family. I remember my grandmother, when she taught me to pick mushrooms, she often exclaimed: “Look, what a family of mushrooms!” And indeed, I look, and there is dad, and mom, and kids, and brothers-in-law, and brother-in-law ...

And the birch probably fell in love with our people because its coloring is very reminiscent of human life: either a black stripe or a white one ... No wonder in the shade of birch trees you want to think and sing ... about the eternal! And having sung, and embrace her "like someone else's wife."

There is a suspicion that when the first Aryan settlers came to the southern regions and saw a striped African animal, they named it after native northern trees. But their descendants mixed up the letters, and it turned out "ZEBRA".

* * *

The bear and the wolf are the favorite animals of Russian folk tales. Moreover, the ancient storytellers treated both of them not only with respect, but with reverence. The bear was generally called General Toptygin. It is he, the bear, who is the intercessor for all the other, weaker animals in the forest. In an ancient parable, which the famous writer Korney Chukovsky translated into children's poems, it is directly predicted: the bear will defeat the crocodile, which has taken away the sun-joy from people! Maybe it's good that the current president's last name is Medvedev.

Of course, foreigners laugh at us and blame us for such respect for predators. It means that you are also aggressive. But only those who know nature from cartoons can consider a bear and a wolf as simply “aggressors”. Both the wolf and the bear are great family men! The main task for the wolf is to feed his wolf cubs and raise them. If he dies, then the she-wolf does not go to another, remains faithful to him.

Bears also love their families. It is no coincidence that everyone likes Shishkin's painting "Morning in a Pine Forest" so much. The "family" is happy and amused, as if they were in Disneyland.

* * *

And the Slavs have always appreciated spruce. The tradition of decorating the Christmas tree for the New Year came from the north. I often asked myself the question, why did one mainland split into two parts of the world? Moreover, the line did not pass through the highest mountains of this continent. This means that some different energies feed earthly life on both sides of the Urals. Indeed, if you look closely at nature, you will notice that there are more spruces in Asia, and pines in the European part. Moreover, the closer to the Atlantic, the more noticeable it is. The difference between spruce and pine is in internal energy. Spruce is stronger at the root, its branches are broader, heavier and more powerful near the ground. Pine trees are the opposite - their crowns at the top reach for the sun, and the pine tree with its branches expands towards the sky. And the spruce is a pyramid! A storm or hurricane is more likely to break a pine tree than a Christmas tree. In the taiga, you will more often meet pine eversion, and not cedar, and spruce that does not lie upside down. Yes, it is darker in a spruce forest than in a pine forest. But ate better hold the blow! Since the Slavs revere spruce more than pine, it means that they most of all value the ability to endure in life. They are more down to earth! In addition, the pyramidal nature of the spruce reminds us that the state should also be arranged like a pyramid. All this multifaceted, many-sided love for spruce is manifested before the New Year. They dress her up, dance around her so that she rejoices and gives strength in the new year to withstand all the "hurricanes".

And of the birds, the Slavs have always revered storks and cranes the most. Storks - understandably - replenishment of the family depended on them. Even the very word "stork" speaks for itself: the same root as "ORIGINS" and "TRUTH"! Therefore, a sign was born that if storks arrive and settle next to the hut, a child will be born! Children are the “elements of truth”, the appearance of which is predicted by STORKS.

In our time, storks are no longer the same. They don’t fly into poisoned cities at all, maybe that’s why the birth rate is falling in cities. The memory of clairvoyant birds now lives only in anecdotes:
- Where do babies come from, grandma?
- The stork brings!
- So dad has his own stork?

* * *

And the cranes were admired by the people for their famous crane wedge. How smart he is! If only the State could be organized in this way: in front of the strongest, most powerful, most all-seeing ... Behind him - the same powerful, but not so sharp-sighted, and at the end - the weak, those who cannot cut through the dense air for a long time, and can fly only in a stream rarefied by the flapping of the leaders!

RELATIVES

When I looked into Dahl's explanatory dictionary and wrote out the words for relatives, it turned out that neither I nor most of my very educated acquaintances knew the meanings of even half of these words. And the West generally catapulted such “sentiments” from their languages ​​as unnecessary back in the Middle Ages. This "tree" of relatives is a burden to Western people. It is irrational and very burdensome to have relatives. The West needs to do business and make a profit. Relatives usually interfere with this process. Especially the rich. In one of the most rational languages ​​of the world - English - in general, all distant relatives were brought to a common denominator, moreover, a legal one, designating them as "relatives in law": sister in law, brother in law, father in law, mother in law ... Criminal thinking! Sorry, I was not politically correct - legal! At the same time, patronymics were abolished for the same uselessness. Who cares in this world of consumption, where are you from? The result of such “reforms” was not long in coming. Very soon, in rich aristocratic families, dogs began to be buried with greater honors than their own aunts, cats were treated with more care than their own children ... By the way, more recently, the fine for killing a horse in England was more than for attempting to kill a person !

But in our language, all these words have been preserved. And we can be proud that they were not "executed". Only we have such a number of branches on our family tree: in addition to those listed, there is also a great aunt, a great uncle ... great-nephews, great-aunt, cousin-grandfather, cousin, great-great-granddaughter nephew, great-great-great-grandfather along the line of the great-nephew of the cousin-in-law ... daughter named, godfather, dairy mother, planted mother, godfather, goddaughter, cross brother, father, planted, mummers, step son ... I can imagine how our ancestors developed their understanding when they tried to figure out who was who. For example, guests are sitting at the table. A relative arrives. The owner introduces him: This is my seven cousin! Meet". Maybe that's why our people are especially smart. After all, without ingenuity you will not understand here. There were no computers. Now it’s easier, I brought all the relatives into the program, and there is no tension. The same relative came to visit, took out a laptop, compared it with a photograph, and introduced it to the others: “ The godson of my cousin's brother-in-law from the younger cousin of the milk brother of my in-law!»

* * *

And for the development of the minds of the young, they asked them such a riddle: “THE HUSBAND AND WIFE, BROTHER AND SISTER, YES BROW-IN-LAW WITH SON-IN-LAW WALKED. HOW MANY ARE THERE TOTAL?” Answer: THREE. In our time, this riddle will not be solved even in a team of connoisseurs.

* * *

And nowhere else is there such care for their children as in Russia. It is impossible to imagine that an English grandmother nursed her grandchildren, went to the park with a stroller, told fairy tales at night, baked pies and fed her own “handmade” semolina with a spoon! And parents reprimanded their son or daughter for their wrong actions even when they were over fifty and after they retired: “What are you, son, coming home late? Completely out of hand? Have you been hanging out in the park with your retired buddies again? When will you finally get smart? Can't you see that many of them are former prisoners!? Oh, such a life will not bring you to good!

* * *

I respect my people for the fact that we have preserved patronymics. Only in Russian the words "PATHRYDOM" and "FATHERLAND" sound the same. It is PATRONYMICS that indicate from whom you descended. And your kind is the FATHERLAND!

FOR THE HOMELAND!

And now the most important thing! Only in Russia there is a battle cry: "FOR THE HOMELAND!" This means that our Family is attacked all the time, and we defend it. After all, it's stupid, you see, with such a cry to conquer other countries. It is impossible to imagine the British who shoot sepoys in India with exclamations: “For the Motherland!”. And the Americans in Iraq: “For America! For our native Californian oil in Iraq! Even the Germans did not think of advancing on Stalingrad under the slogan: "For Berlin!". The solution is simple. The West has always strived for conquest, and we defended our Kin, Kin, Motherland!

I have repeatedly said from the stage that only in Russia the concepts of the Motherland and the state have different meanings. This is the main reason why the enemies cannot defeat us. The fact is that every time they attack our state, and get it in the forehead from our Motherland. The Germans still cannot understand how they managed not to conquer Russia? It seems that Germany had more tanks, aircraft too, the economy is more powerful, the state is stronger, the uniforms of the soldiers are more beautiful, the boots of the officers are shiny ... You enter all the data into the computer - the display gives the answer: “Victory is for Germany!” Correctly! Their state was stronger. And the Motherland is with us! Plus, they didn't even know it existed. The state is easy to calculate, but the Motherland is impossible. It is in human feelings, and not in the multiplication table and not in securities. The computer does not read the Motherland. Unable to scan it. Not his level!

Unlike the state, the Motherland will never covet someone else's property. She is Motherland! She only needs her own. Therefore, our state for many centuries was invincible, that our Motherland always forgave our state all sins and every time, as soon as trouble fell on Russia, it stood up for the Russian state. Then, however, when trouble rolled around, the state once again betrayed our Motherland. But the Russian soldier always fought for the Motherland, and not for the state. And the battle cry with which they fled to the enemy was not for the state. In a terrible dream, after a mixture of whiskey with Moldavian wine, Georgian beer and American phantom, an alcoholic will not dream of a Red Army soldier running out of a trench with the call: “FOR THE STATE!”. Or even more ridiculous: "FOR THE PRESIDENT'S ADMINISTRATION!"

And the fact that Russians are aggressive is a myth invented in the West. If the Slavs were aggressive, they would not have so many words associated with relatives, and not with war or return on deposits. And there would still be no call: “MOTHER MOTHERLAND CALLS!” Only we have "HOMELAND - OUR MOTHER!", And the state - "YOUR MOTHER!" And this victorious cry "FOR THE HOMELAND!" sounded even during the Battle of Kulikovo, and maybe even earlier, who knows, and over the past centuries it has helped out our great-grandfathers, and great-grandmothers, and aunts, and uncles, and nephews, and stepfathers, and widows, and brother-in-law, and in 612, and 812, and in 914, and 941...

GLORY TO THE KIND

I've always wondered where the expression "TREE OF LIFE" came from. It turned out that everything is very simple. The tree symbolizes antiquity. Wooden age of history. He is "ANCIENT". The tree sprouting from it is a symbol of the human race. It is branchy, with many leaves, and is still growing and growing ... And while there are still strong families on Earth, while the seed of the GENUS sprouts, while there are PATRONYMS, while the call "MOTHER MOTHER CALLS!" makes our HOMELAND invincible, while the SISTERS keep the warmth of the house, and the BROTHERS - SISTERS, while the word "PARENTS" means "THE WORKING WITH THE BODY" ... - this tree cannot be strangled by any serpent! May the Russian language be eternal, thanks to which we are still very much even nothing, no matter what ... - Glory to the ROD!
