How a "military Buryat" Bato Dashidorzhiev stopped a column of Georgian special forces. Three hundred Spartans are not needed - just one is enough: a Russian soldier with a machine gun at the ready stops a Georgian column during the battle for South Ossetia

Thinking foreigner...

Three hundred Spartans are not needed - just one is enough: a Russian soldier with a machine gun at the ready stops a Georgian column during the battle for South Ossetia.

This famous photo. Georgia, 08.08.08 After the defeat of the Georgian army, its retreating units regrouped and decided to return to Gori, but stumbled upon a Russian checkpoint.

Has everyone seen this photo? Who thought about the essence of what happened?

The photograph shows how a soldier of the Russian Armed Forces, ready with a machine gun, confronts the motorized infantry of the Georgian Armed Forces, the officers of the column threatened the machine gunner to move out of the way and let them through, to which they heard in response:

"Go to ...!".

Then the media, who were moving with the convoy, tried to talk to the machine gunner, and received the same answer.

As a result, the column turned around and moved back to where it came from.

“300 is not necessary, one is enough”

What was this soldier thinking? What did he feel at that moment? Wasn't he scared? Surely it was. Or he did not dream of having children and grandchildren, and living a long and happy life? Of course I wanted to.

Do you imagine a NATO soldier standing like this with a machine gun in front of an enemy column? Me not. They value their lives too much. Then what's wrong with you? Why are you Russians different?

And why do foreigners consider you crazy and unpredictable people? It's not at all about fearlessness or a disregard for the most precious thing that we have - own life. Then what? I started looking for an answer. Is there still a people who would so desperately love life and everything connected with it?

You live with an open mind, with a hussar scale. You're the one inviting gypsies and bears to your wedding. It is you who are able to arrange a holiday with the last money, generously feed all the guests, and wake up in the morning without a penny in your pocket. You know how to live as if every day of your life is your last. And there will be no tomorrow. There is only now.

All your poems and songs are literally permeated through with love for life, but only you know how to listen to them and sob uncontrollably. Only your people have sayings: "Love, - so the queen, steal, - so a million", "Who does not risk, he does not drink champagne." This is from the desire to drink this life to the bottom, to experience everything that can be done in it.

Then why are you Russians, standing and looking into the eyes of the enemy, able to part with this life so easily?

It's in your genetic code and originates from the very times when the foot of the first aggressor set foot on your Russian land. It has always been so. At all times…

According to Russian customs, only conflagrations
On Russian soil, scattered behind...

Comrades were dying before our eyes
In Russian, tearing the shirt on the chest.

Bullets with you still have mercy on us.
But, believing three times that life is all,
I was still proud of the sweetest,
For the bitter land where I was born.

For the fact that I was bequeathed to die on it,
That the Russian mother gave birth to us,
That in battle, seeing us off, a Russian woman
In Russian, she hugged me three times. Check out this poignant movie...

Think foreigners ... (continued)

Only chain mail and helmets have changed, spears have been replaced by machine guns. You have tanks, and you have learned to fly. But the code remains the same. And it always works in you when your house is about to be destroyed or taken over. And he does not give you rest if the weak are offended.

How it works? Disturbing music begins to sound in you, which only you can hear. This code sounds like a bell in you until the uninvited guests are thrown out of your land.

And this is where the most important thing happens. A warrior wakes up in each of you. In everyone, from small to large. And it binds you with an invisible thread. And foreigners do not understand this. To do this, you need to BE Russian. BORN them.

When your land is in danger, or someone is offended somewhere on earth, whether in Abkhazia or Ossetia, or in the Donbass, your snipers become the most accurate, tankers - fireproof. The pilots turn into aces and remember such incredible things as a corkscrew and a ram. Your scouts work wonders, your sailors become unsinkable, and your infantry resemble the tenacious tin soldiers.

Therefore, those who are going to attack the Russians and expect to see kneeling Russians on Russian soil, with loaves and flowers, will have to be very disappointed. They will see a completely different picture. And I don't think they'll like it.

They are destined to see a Russian man who has become a WARRIOR, next to whom will stand the fearless WARRIOR BROTHERS of all the peoples of the RUSSIAN WORLD.

Russian is not a nationality. This is the spirit, this is the attitude to the world. To duty, honor and his comrades. It is the readiness to sacrifice oneself in the name of Russia, in the name of duty, in the name of the Motherland. All this is completely incomprehensible to liberals, but it is understandable to any Russian, regardless of his nationality. So liberals and ... not Russians. In terms of spirit and attitude.

An excellent article from the resource sevkavinform.ru tells us an unknown page of our recent history.

08/08/2008, South Ossetia. War. Russian soldier and a column of Georgian infantry.

P.S. The Russian soldier in the photo is completely non-Slavic in appearance and nationality. But who will turn his tongue to call it not Russian?

The Ininsky rock garden is located in the Barguzinskaya valley. Huge stones as if someone deliberately scattered or placed on purpose. And in places where megaliths are placed, something mysterious always happens.

One of the attractions of Buryatia is the Ininsky rock garden in the Barguzin valley. It makes an amazing impression - huge stones scattered in disorder on a completely flat surface. As if someone deliberately either scattered them, or placed them on purpose. And in places where megaliths are placed, something mysterious always happens.

Power of nature

In general, the “rock garden” is the Japanese name for an artificial landscape in which stones, arranged according to strict rules, play a key role. "Karesansui" (dry landscape) has been cultivated in Japan since the 14th century, and it appeared for a reason. It was believed that gods lived in places with a large accumulation of stones, as a result of which the stones themselves began to be given divine significance. Of course, now the Japanese use rock gardens as a place for meditation, where it is convenient to indulge in philosophical reflections.

And philosophy is here. Chaotic, at first glance, the arrangement of stones, in fact, is strictly subject to certain laws. First, the asymmetry and size difference of the stones must be respected. There are certain points of observation in the garden - depending on the time when you are going to contemplate the structure of your microcosm. And the main trick is that from any point of observation there should always be one stone that ... is not visible.

The most famous rock garden in Japan is located in Kyoto, the ancient capital of the samurai country, in the Ryoanji temple. This is the home of Buddhist monks. And here in Buryatia, a "rock garden" appeared without the efforts of man - its author is Nature itself.

In the southwestern part of the Barguzinskaya Valley, 15 kilometers from the village of Suvo, where the Ina River emerges from the Ikat Range, this place is located with an area of ​​more than 10 square kilometers. Significantly more than any Japanese rock garden - in the same proportion as the Japanese bonsai is smaller than the Buryat cedar. Here, large blocks of stone, reaching 4-5 meters in diameter, protrude from the flat ground, and these boulders go up to 10 meters deep!

The removal of these megaliths from mountain range reaches 5 kilometers or more. What kind of force could scatter these huge stones at such distances? The fact that this was not done by a person became clear from recent history: a 3-kilometer canal was dug here for irrigation purposes. And in the channel channel here and there lie huge boulders, going to a depth of up to 10 meters. They fought, of course, but to no avail. As a result, all work on the channel was stopped.

Scientists put forward different versions of the origin of the Ininsky rock garden. Many consider these blocks to be moraine boulders, that is, glacial deposits. Scientists call the age different (E. I. Muravsky believes that they are 40-50 thousand years old, and V. V. Lamakin - more than 100 thousand years!), Depending on which glaciation to count.

According to geologists, in ancient times the Barguzin basin was a shallow freshwater lake, which was separated from Lake Baikal by a narrow and low mountain bridge connecting the Barguzin and Ikat ridges. As the water level rose, a runoff formed, which turned into a river bed, which cut deeper and deeper into solid crystalline rocks. It is known how torrential streams of water in spring or after heavy rain wash away steep slopes, leaving deep furrows of gullies and ravines. Over time, the water level dropped, and the area of ​​the lake, due to the abundance of suspended material brought into it by rivers, decreased. As a result, the lake disappeared, and in its place there was a wide valley with boulders, which were later attributed to natural monuments.

But recently, Doctor of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences G.F. Ufimtsev offered very original idea which has nothing to do with glaciation. In his opinion, the Ininsky rock garden was formed as a result of a relatively recent, catastrophic, gigantic ejection of large-block material.

According to his observations, glacial activity on the Ikat Range manifested itself only in a small area in the upper reaches of the Turokcha and Bogunda rivers, while in the middle part of these rivers there are no traces of glaciation. Thus, according to the scientist, there was a breakthrough of the dam of the dammed lake in the course of the Ina River and its tributaries. As a result of a breakthrough from the upper reaches of the Ina, a mudflow or ground avalanche threw a large amount of blocky material into the Barguzin valley. This version is supported by the fact of severe destruction of the bedrock sides of the Ina River valley at the confluence with the Turokcha, which may indicate the demolition of a large amount of rocks by mudflows.

In the same section of the Ina River, Ufimtsev noted two large “amphitheatres” (resembling a huge funnel) measuring 2.0 by 1.3 kilometers and 1.2 by 0.8 kilometers, which could probably be the bed of large dammed lakes. The break of the dam and the release of water, according to Ufimtsev, could have occurred as a result of manifestations of seismic processes, since both slope "amphitheaters" are confined to the zone of a young fault with outcrops of thermal waters.

Here the gods were naughty

An amazing place has long been interested in local residents. And for the "rock garden" people came up with a legend rooted in hoary antiquity. The start is simple. Somehow, two rivers, Ina and Barguzin, argued, which of them would be the first (first) to reach Baikal. Barguzin cheated and set off on the road that same evening, and in the morning the angry Ina rushed after her, in anger throwing huge boulders out of her way. So they still lie on both banks of the river. Isn't it just a poetic description of a powerful mudflow proposed for explanation by Dr. Ufimtsev?

The stones still keep the secret of their formation. They are not only different sizes and colors, they are generally from different breeds. That is, they were not broken out from one place. And the depth of occurrence speaks of many thousands of years, during which meters of soil have grown around the boulders.

For those who have seen the Avatar movie, on a foggy morning, Ina's stones will remind you of hanging mountains around which winged dragons fly. The peaks of the mountains jut out of the clouds of mist like individual fortresses or the heads of giants in helmets. The impressions from contemplating the garden of stones are amazing, and it is not by chance that people endowed the stones with magical powers: it is believed that if you touch the boulders with your hands, they will take away negative energy, instead bestowing positive energy.

In these amazing places there is another place where the gods were naughty. This place was nicknamed "Suva Saxon Castle". This natural formation is located near the group of salty Alga lakes near the village of Suvo, on the steppe slopes of a hill at the foot of the Ikat Range. The picturesque rocks are very reminiscent of the ruins of an ancient castle. These places served as a particularly revered and sacred place for Evenki shamans. In the Evenki language, "suvoya" or "suvo" means "whirlwind".

It was believed that it was here that spirits lived - the owners of local winds. The main and most famous of which was the legendary wind of Baikal "Barguzin". According to legend, an evil ruler lived in these places. He was distinguished by a ferocious disposition, he took pleasure in bringing misfortune to the poor and indigent people.

He had an only and beloved son, who was bewitched by spirits as punishment for a cruel father. After realizing his cruel and unfair attitude towards people, the ruler fell to his knees, began to beg and tearfully ask to restore his son's health and make him happy. And he distributed all his wealth to people.

And the spirits freed the son of the ruler from the power of the disease! It is believed that for this reason the rocks are divided into several parts. There is a belief among the Buryats that the owners of Suvo, Tumurzhi-Noyon and his wife, Tutuzhig-Khatan, live in the rocks. Burkhans were erected in honor of the Suva rulers. On special days, whole rituals are performed in these places.
