Award badge of South- Eastern Front, 1918-1920

The myth of the swastikophiles is the assertion that the swastika was supposedly the heraldic symbol of the RSFSR, which was used almost until the 30s. As evidence, we are given a photo of sleeve insignia and emblems of the Red Army with swastikas and two banknotes, where swastikas are woven into the pattern.

Indeed, sleeve patches and award badges for commanders with swastikas existed on the South-Eastern Front. But let's take a closer look in connection with what the swastika appeared on this front. The southeastern front fought in the south against Denikin, and in addition to the Russian regiments, Kalmyk units fought on both sides of the front. On March 20, 1919, a division was formed from the Kalmyk units in the 11th Army of the Southeastern Front. In this regard, in November 1919, the front commander V. I. Shorin signed decree No. 213 on the introduction of an identification mark in the form of a swastika for the Kalmyk units.

The order read:

"Order to the troops of the South-Eastern Front No. 213

The distinctive sleeve insignia of the Kalmyk formations is approved, according to the attached drawing and description.

To assign the right to wear to all commanding staff and Red Army soldiers of existing and formed Kalmyk units, in accordance with the instructions of the order of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic p. for No. 116.

Front Commander Shorin

Member of the Revolutionary Military Council Trifonov

Wreed. chief of staff General Staff Pugachev"

APPENDIX explained the order:

Appendix to the order to the troops of the South-Eastern Front p. city ​​№213

Description

Rhombus measuring 15 x 11 centimeters made of red cloth. In the upper corner there is a five-pointed star, in the center there is a wreath, in the middle of which is “lyungtn” with the inscription “R. S. F. S. R.” The diameter of the star is 15 mm, the diameter of the wreath is 6 cm, the size of the "lyungtn" is 27 mm, the letter is 6 mm.

The sign for the command and administrative staff is embroidered in gold and silver, and for the Red Army soldiers it is screen-printed.

The star, "lyungtn" and the ribbon of the wreath are embroidered with gold (for the Red Army - with yellow paint), the wreath itself and the inscription - with silver (for the Red Army - with white paint).

1000 rubles of the Provisional Government.

The swastika in the order is called "lyungnt" - this is clearly not a Slavic name - Kalmyks have such a rank of monk as Gelung. And most importantly, it was introduced exclusively for the Kalmyks, the Mongolian people who profess Buddhism and for whom the swastika is a common symbol. Thus, the swastika of the Southwestern Front has nothing to do with Russia, nor with the Slavs, nor with the Russian people. The swastika was adopted for the Kalmyk national units and existed in this capacity until 1920.

With swastikas on banknotes, it's even easier. These swastikas went to the Soviet Republic from tsarist regime. In 1916, a monetary reform was planned and new clichés of banknotes with swastikas were prepared, but the revolution prevented this. Then, in 1917, the provisional government used swastika clichés for banknotes of 250 and 1000 rubles. The Bolsheviks, after the capture, had to use the royal cliches for banknotes of 5,000 and 10,000 rubles out of sheer necessity.


Soviet banknote of 10,000 rubles.
These banknotes went until 1922, after which they were withdrawn.

As you can see, this myth of the swastikophiles turned out to be false. The swastika was not a heraldic symbol of Soviet power. In the case of the use of the swastika in the Red Army, it was a sign for the Kalmyk units. In the case of swastikas on Soviet banknotes, there are only two such banknotes, and they were inherited by the RSFSR from the tsarist government. None of these swastikas is a Russian national sign and quickly disappeared after the appearance of the first fascist organizations in Germany. For the first time, the swastika was lit up among the thugs of the Kapp putsch in Germany in 1920. Since then, the swastika has become the personification of reactionary forces and therefore could not be a symbol of Soviet power. Eat tomatoes.

Here is such a small but accurate explanation for the Gelungs and Rodnovers-fools.

Swastika on the car of Nicholas II

The next myth about the swastika speaks of the connections between the swastika and the royal family. I don't understand - what do the swastikophiles want to prove with these facts?
In fact, these facts do not prove anything, except for the popularity of the swastika in the early twentieth century. and this is due not to some ancient Slavic swastikas, but to the enthusiasm of European elites for mysticism. The set of "royal" swastikas is surprisingly poor: a swastika on the car of Nicholas II, a swastika on the diary of the Empress, and swastikas from the Ipatiev House. That's actually all. What these swastikas prove, apart from the personal hobbies of the royal family, is absolutely not clear.

THIS IS NOT AN IDEAL, AS THE RODNOVERS SAY. BY THE WAY: RODNOVERIE IS CONSIDERED SECTANCY. And it has nothing to do with communism. So comparing and equating the USSR with the Reich is purely to provoke a gay-wai. Hello!

Yesterday's arrangement brought an indescribable feeling of Unity.
Already in my second arrangement, archetypes and sacred symbols are shown.
The swastika symbol - as a manifestation of my attitude to the Great Patriotic War (war is the price of life) and the Indian sacred meaning of the swastika symbol - managed to be combined.
The symbol of the swastika manifested itself in the way the 4 figures of the deputies stood.
The sacred meaning of the constellation shone through for me through the usual phrases and words of the deputies. And I didn't need words!

This symbol has many meanings - not only the sun, but also samsara, the wheel of reincarnations. Four rays symbolize the four elements, as well as four segments of a person's life. The first one is growth and learning. The second is marriage and raising children. The third is the education of youth. The fourth is the service of God.

The swastika also suggests the idea of ​​movement in two directions: clockwise and
counterclock-wise. Like "Yin" and "Yang", the dual sign: rotating on
hourly symbolizes masculine energy, counterclockwise - feminine.

In addition, the swastika has the meaning of royal power.
Recently, this symbol has been fully associated with Ganesha and Lakshmi.

The swastika symbolizes all gods and goddesses, and that all gods have one
source - in this case, a symbol is added to the line of intersection of the lines (cross)
Ohm.
Swastika (Skt. Svasti, greeting, good luck) - a cross with curved ends ("rotating"), directed either clockwise or counterclockwise. The swastika is one of the most ancient and widespread graphic symbols. For most ancient peoples, it was a symbol of the movement of life, the Sun, light, prosperity.

The swastika reflects rotary motion with its derivative - progressive and capable of symbolizing philosophical categories.

The word "swastika" is a composite of two Sanskrit roots: su, "good, good" and asti, "life, existence", that is, "well-being" or "well-being".

The swastika is considered not only as a solar symbol, but also as a symbol of the fertility of the earth. This is one of the ancient and archaic solar signs - an indicator of the apparent movement of the Sun around the Earth and the division of the year into four parts - four seasons. The sign fixes two solstices: summer and winter - and the annual movement of the Sun. It has the idea of ​​four cardinal points. A symbolic cruciform sign, consisting, as it were, of four letters G of the Greek alphabet, interconnected by their bases, or four human legs emanating from one common center.
The swastika in India has traditionally been seen as a solar sign - a symbol of life, light, generosity and abundance.

In the form of a swastika, a wooden tool was made to produce the sacred fire. They laid him flat on the ground; the recess in the middle served for the rod, which was rotated until the appearance of fire, kindled on the altar of the deity.

Also a symbol of esoteric Buddhism. In this aspect, it is called the "Seal of the Heart" and, according to legend, was imprinted on the heart of the Buddha.

According to one theory, a special type of swastika, symbolizing the rising Sun, the victory of Light over Darkness, Eternal life over death, was called Kolovrat (Old Slavic form, lit. "wheel rotation"; Old Russian form - kolovorot, which had the meaning "spindle"). In general, many more examples can be cited that inextricably link the swastika and Rus'.

In the good old days, Russian people got married and got married under a swastika.

The swastika, the sleeve insignia of the Kalmyk formations, is denoted by the word "lyungtn", that is, the Buddhist "Lungta", meaning - "whirlwind", "vital energy".

In pre-Buddhist ancient Indian and some other cultures, the swastika is usually interpreted as a sign of auspicious destinies, a symbol of the sun. This symbol is still widely used in India and South Korea, and most weddings, holidays and festivities cannot do without it.

The Buddhist symbol of perfection (also known as manji, “whirlwind” (Japanese, “ornament, cross, swastika”), is considered to be twisted counterclockwise. The vertical line indicates the relationship of heaven and earth, and the horizontal line indicates the relationship of yin-yang. Orientation short dashes to the left personifies movement, gentleness, love, compassion, and their aspiration to the right is associated with constancy, firmness, intelligence and strength.Thus, any one-sidedness is a violation of world harmony and cannot lead to universal happiness.Love and compassion without strength and firmness helpless, and strength and reason without mercy and love lead to the multiplication of evil.

In Buddhism, the swastika is also one of the sacred symbols - the sacred knowledge and teachings of the Buddha and His heart.

Later it became a symbol of the German Nazis, after they came to power - the state symbol of Germany (depicted on the coat of arms and flag).

In the view of Hitler himself, she symbolized "the struggle for the triumph of the Aryan race." This choice combined both the mystical occult meaning of the swastika and the idea of ​​the swastika as an "Aryan" symbol (due to its prevalence in India).

However, strictly speaking, not any swastika was a Nazi symbol, but a four-pointed one, with the ends pointing to the right side and rotated by 45 °. At the same time, it should be in a white circle, which in turn is depicted on a red rectangle.

It was this sign that was on the state banner of National Socialist Germany from 1933 to 1945.

Hitler started the war on the summer solstice.

In Hinduism, there are two ways to depict the swastika - left-handed and right-handed. Both of these symbols are two forms of brahman, which symbolizes the development of the universe (pravriti) from brahman - clockwise and the folding of the universe (nivriti) into brahman - counterclockwise.
It also matters as manifestations of brahman or God in the four cardinal directions - north, south, east, west.

It regulates any movement of material resources during construction. A qualified cost estimate engineer is engaged in writing estimates. You can order an estimate at a specialized organization that provides such services. The contractor can produce such a document. An estimate is prepared in accordance with the current legislation, regulations and estimated standards, taking into account the current market prices for work and materials, as well as the coefficients for their change.

5 reasons why you need an estimate

This financial document indicates the calculations of material costs for the implementation of a specific project, as well as the amount of materials and labor resources planned for use. This determines the reasons why it is worth buying an estimate.

1. Thanks to a carefully drawn up estimate, even before the start of construction work, you get a complete picture of the upcoming costs. This will help to prepare and not stretch the project for many years due to lack of funds.
2. The estimate allows you to foresee most of the unforeseen situations during the upcoming construction, and this will save your nerves and money that would have to be spent on their solution.
3. The estimate indicates an exhaustive list of work to be performed. This regulates the relationship between the customer and the contractor in relation to mutual obligations and expectations.
4. In addition to the list of works, the estimate contains prices, taking into account their changes in ...

Everyone already knows that the history of the swastika is much deeper and more multifaceted for some. Here are a few more unusual facts from the history of this symbol.

Few people know that among the symbols used by the Red Army, there was not only a star, but also a swastika. This is how the award badge of the commanders of the South-Eastern Front Kr. Army in 1918-1920

In November 1919, the commander of the South-Eastern Front of the Red Army, V. I. Shorin, issued order No. 213, which approved the distinctive sleeve insignia of the Kalmyk formations using a swastika. The swastika in the order is indicated by the word "lyungtn", that is, the Buddhist "Lungta", meaning - "whirlwind", "vital energy".

Description
Rhombus measuring 15 x 11 centimeters made of red cloth. In the upper corner there is a five-pointed star, in the center there is a wreath, in the middle of which is “lyungtn” with the inscription “R. S. F. S. R.” The diameter of the star is 15 mm, the diameter of the wreath is 6 cm, the size of the "lyungtn" is 27 mm, the letter is 6 mm.
The sign for the command and administrative staff is embroidered in gold and silver, and for the Red Army soldiers it is screen-printed.
The star, "lyungtn" and the ribbon of the wreath are embroidered with gold (for the Red Army - with yellow paint), the wreath itself and the inscription - with silver (for the Red Army - with white paint).

In Russia, the swastika first appeared in official symbols in 1917 - it was then, on April 24, that the Provisional Government issued a decree on the issuance of new banknotes in denominations of 250 and 1000 rubles.1 A feature of these banknotes was that they had an image of a swastika. Here is a description of the front side of the 1000-ruble banknote, given in paragraph No. 128 of the Senate resolution of June 6, 1917: “The main grid pattern consists of two large oval guilloche rosettes - right and left ... crosswise intersecting wide stripes, bent at a right angle, at one end to the right, and at the other - to the left ... The intermediate background between both large rosettes is filled with a guilloche pattern, and the center of this background is occupied by a geometric ornament of the same pattern as in both rosettes, but larger.”2 Unlike the 1,000-ruble note, the 250-ruble note had only one swastika, in the center behind the eagle.

From the banknotes of the Provisional Government, the swastika also migrated to the first Soviet banknotes. True, in this case this was due to production necessity, and not ideological considerations: the Bolsheviks, who were preoccupied with issuing their own money in 1918, simply took ready-made, created by order of the Provisional Government, clichés of new banknotes (5,000 and 10,000 rubles) that were being prepared for release in 1918. Kerensky and his comrades could not print these banknotes, due to certain circumstances, but the clichés were useful to the leadership of the RSFSR. Thus, swastikas were also present on Soviet banknotes in denominations of 5,000 and 10,000 rubles. These banknotes were in circulation until 1922.

Swastika in military symbols USA used in the first world war: it was applied to the fuselages of the aircraft of the famous American squadron "Lafayette".

The swastika was also depicted on the Boeing P-12, which was in service with the US Air Force from 1929 to 1941. The squadron's emblem was an Indian's head painted on the fuselage. In America, the swastika has long been perceived as a typical Indian symbol.

In addition, the swastika was depicted on the chevron of the 45th Infantry Division of the US Army, which she wore from 1923 to 1939.

Finland in the context of our story is interesting because today it is, perhaps, the only state in the EU V the official symbolism of which is the swastika. It first appeared there in 1918, the year the Swedish Baron von Rosen presented the Finnish White Guard with a Morane-Saulnier Type D aircraft, which, in fact, laid the foundation for the existence of the Finnish Air Force. Therefore, the symbol of the new military aviation she became. The swastika on the flag of the Finnish Air Force is present to this day.

Kostroma bloggers have launched a rally in support of a local resident whom the regional prosecutor's office intends to prosecute for using an emblem with a swastika, invented back in 1919 by a commander of the Red Army, on his profile picture.

The prosecutor's office of the Kostroma region began checking against a blogger under the nickname Prishelec, registered on the Kostroma Jedi forum, in February this year. The attention of prosecutors was attracted by the user's avatar.

“We are constantly monitoring the Internet and electronic media,” the regional prosecutor's office told Gazeta. “So there is nothing unusual in this case.”

On the avatar, Prishelec placed an image of a swastika against a red diamond. The dubious drawing was copied from the site and given to specialists for examination.

“According to the expert’s conclusion, this symbol is confusingly similar to the Nazi symbols used by the troops of Nazi Germany during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945,” the regional prosecutor’s office explained.

Nevertheless, after going to the prosecutor's office, Prishelec changed his avatar to a more harmless one. However, the sensitive topic he raised on the forum quickly found like-minded people who decided to support Prishelec in their own way. Now on the forum of the Kostroma Jedi, avatars with a swastika appear one after another.

At the same time, many Internet users inquired about the history of the origin of the picture depicted on the Prishelec avatar. It turned out that back in 1919, the commander of the South-Eastern Front, Vasily Shorin, ordered this sign to be introduced as a sleeve patch for the Kalmyk formations of the Red Army.

As for Prishelec, a case was brought against him for administrative offense for propaganda and public demonstration of Nazi paraphernalia or symbols or paraphernalia or symbols confusingly similar to Nazi paraphernalia or symbols (Article 20.3 Part 1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

In addition, according to prosecutors, the blogger violated Art. 6 of the federal law "On the perpetuation of the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic war 1941-1945, which prohibits "the use of Nazi symbols in any form as insulting the multinational people and the memory of the victims suffered in the Great Patriotic War."

The materials of the investigation were transferred to the Magistrate's Court for consideration of the case on the merits. Now Kostroma is facing a fine of up to 1,000 rubles or arrest for up to 15 days with confiscation of symbols.

Meanwhile, according to expert historians, the conclusions reached by the prosecutor's office of the Kostroma region are erroneous and Shorin's emblem has nothing to do with Nazism.

“The Shorin sign is a very famous emblem that has been repeatedly published in various literature,” historian Roman Bagdasarov explained. “Therefore, it is strange that experts considered it to be Nazi. This emblem is neither fascist nor Nazi. It was invented by Vasily Shorin, invited by Leon Trotsky to the Red Army. Then there was no Nazism in the project either.”

According to Roman Bagdasarov, now the description of the swastika and its sketches are stored in the Central state archive Soviet army.

Shorin Vasily Ivanovich

Born December 26, 1870 (January 7, 1871). Colonel of the tsarist army with extensive combat experience. After October revolution went over to the side of the Soviet government. He was chosen by the soldiers as the head of the 26th Infantry Division. In September 1918, in Vyatka, he voluntarily joined the Red Army and was appointed commander of the 2nd Army of the Eastern Front. Shorin did a lot of work on the reorganization of the army and led its actions in the Izhevsk-Votkinsk operation against Kolchak's troops. Since May 1919, the commander of the northern group of the Eastern Front, led the Perm and Yekaterinburg operations. From the end of July 1919 he commanded a special group of the Southern Front (9th, 10th, and later 11th Army), which was transformed in September 1919 into the South-Eastern Front. In January 1920 he commanded the Caucasian Front. Since January 1922, he commanded the troops of the Turkestan Front, led the fight against the Basmachi, in particular, in November 1922, during the liquidation of Enver Pasha's Basmachi bands.
Shot in 1938 (according to other sources, he died in prison before trial).

Swastika

A compound of two Sanskrit roots: su (“good, good”) and asti (“life, existence”), that is, “well-being” or “well-being. This is a cross with bent ends (rotating), directed clockwise or counterclockwise. The swastika is one of the most ancient and widespread graphic symbols. Used by many peoples of the world - it was present on weapons, everyday items, clothes, banners and coats of arms, was used in the design of churches and houses. The oldest archaeological finds depicting a swastika date back to approximately the 10th-15th millennium BC. The swastika as a symbol has many meanings, for most peoples they were all positive. The swastika among most ancient peoples was a symbol of the movement of life, the Sun, light and prosperity. Occasionally, the swastika is also used in heraldry, mainly English, where it is called fylfot, and is usually depicted with shortened ends. In the 20th century, the swastika (German: Hackenkreuz) became famous as a symbol of Nazism and Nazi Germany, and in the mass consciousness of Europeans it is steadily associated with the Nazi regime and ideology.

In March 1919, an order was issued by the front commander V.I. Shorin on the introduction of the swastika as an identification mark for the Kalmyk cavalry units. Shorin was a tsarist colonel who went over to the side of Soviet power: he was a well-educated person who understood how strongly the use of magical national symbols affects the psyche of military personnel. The Kalmyks professed Buddhism, so this Buddhist sacred element was assigned to the emblem of the division. In the order, the swastika is called "lyungnt" - a derivative of "gelyung" - the dignity of a Buddhist monk. The swastika, along with the five-pointed star, was present on armbands and award badges. In 1919, the swastika was used on the uniform signs of the Bashkir units of the Red Army.

The swastika as a secret sign of the tsarist regime

The symbol of the left-sided (cathedral) swastika was considered in higher circles Russian society as an auspicious and protective sign, he was especially revered royal family. The swastika sign in a circle was on the hood of the Delaunay-Belleville 45 CV car of Emperor Nicholas II. The same image, along with mysterious letters, was inscribed by Empress Alexandra Feodorovna on the basement wall in the Ipatiev house in Yekaterinburg on the eve of the execution. The image and the inscription were destroyed, but photographed first. Subsequently, this photo came to General Alexander Kutepov, the leader white movement in exile.

According to researchers, Nicholas II and his wife learned about the meaning of the swastika from Grigory Rasputin, and he, in turn, was associated with a certain doctor Bagmaev, a Buryat and a follower of the Tibetan Bon religion. After the coup, this man disappeared without a trace: perhaps he was destroyed by the Bolsheviks, or perhaps he moved to Germany, where a similar character has been featured in Hitler's entourage since the 1920s.

It is known that the first Soviet paper money had images of the swastika. It is explained simply. Literally on the eve of the coup, in 1916, the Tsarist Mint made new clichés for printing banknotes, and these images were present on the cliche. Having come to power, the Bolsheviks did not have time to develop their own design of banknotes and took advantage of those clichés that already existed. The swastika was on the first Soviet money in denominations of 250, 1000, 5000 and 1000 rubles. Thus, this symbol on the first Soviet banknotes was inherited from the previous government.

On April 15, 1921, the Supreme Council of Deputies issued a resolution signed by V.I. Lenin "On increasing the punishment for traveling on steam locomotives." It said that the country's transport system is in an extremely difficult situation, which is aggravated by the huge number of passengers who do not want to pay for travel and luggage. As a measure of struggle, "hares" were supposed to be arrested and sent to concentration camps. Do the same with employees. railway who do not zealously observe this decree. Not only the document itself is interesting, but also the fact that the seal on it had the shape of a swastika.

The same seal is present on other resolutions of the Moscow Provincial Council of Deputies. In the early years of the existence of the USSR, the swastika was widely used to sign documentation.

The end of the path of the swastika in the country of victorious socialism

in 1922, the Izvestia newspaper published an article by A.V. Lunacharsky, in which the People's Commissar of Education wrote: “On many decorations and posters during the days of the last festival, as well as in general on various publications, etc., due to a misunderstanding, an ornament called a swastika is constantly used ... Since the swastika is a cockade deeply counter-revolutionary German organization ORGESH, and recently it has acquired the character of a symbolic sign of the entire fascist, reactionary movement, then I warn that artists should in no case use this ornament, which produces, especially on foreigners, a deeply negative impression. People's Commissar for Education A. Lunacharsky "(Lunacharsky A., 1922, p. 5)

Confirming the opinion of the People's Commissar of Education, already in 1923, a Nazi congress was held in Germany, where Adolf Hitler spoke under a new emblem: a black swastika in a white circle on a red background. The future Fuhrer explained this sign as a symbol of the fight against Jews and communists. After such a statement, the swastika in the USSR began to be eradicated everywhere.

Echoes that have survived to this day

Given that the swastika is primarily a sacred symbol, its image is preserved in church life: on the festive clothes of the clergy and in the design of temples. In particular, this sign can be seen in St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg and in St. Sophia's Cathedral in Kyiv.
