Badge of the Red Army with a swastika. The swastika in the RSFSR - where and why. 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 by the 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.

I found an interesting discovery today. I’ll say right away that I don’t really want to load anyone with a lot of different versions of the material presented, who are interested in getting acquainted and digging deeper, as they say - Google to help ...
The bottom line is this - the swastika is depicted on Russian banknotes of 1917-1918 ("Kerenka"). The name of the state, by the way, is not indicated. The first banknote of 250 rubles in 1917:

Here she is bigger. Behind the double-headed eagle, depicted already without a crown:

Or with reverse side. Here the swastika is hidden behind the inscription "250 rubles":

It is curious that on the front side of the bill there is not only a swastika, but also a Buddhist (Lamaist) "endless knot":

All the same, I’ll point out one of the versions, for the sake of context, that it was allegedly Nicholas II who ordered the swastika to be placed on Russian banknotes, however, this project was implemented after his abdication by the Provisional Government on “Kerenki” with a face value of 250 and 1000 rubles, and then the Bolsheviks released banknotes of five thousandth and ten thousandth denominations with the same sign, simply using ready-made matrices. This money was in circulation until education Soviet Union, which, as is known, was proclaimed at the end of 1922.
Further, more banknotes in denominations of 1000, 5000, 10,000 rubles:

And now even more interesting - the sleeve patches of the Red Army had an image of a swastika with the abbreviation of the RSFSR, officers and soldiers of the Red Army of the South-Eastern Front wore it since 1918:

The cavalry of the South-Eastern Front in November 1919 received a swastika as a sleeve chevron. A description of it, in which the hook cross is designated by the abbreviation "LYUNGTN" was attached to the order of the commander V.I. Shorin, a former tsarist colonel, an experienced military leader and St. George Knight, who is supposed to be the author of this idea:

“Rhombus 15x11 centimeters made of red cloth. In the upper corner is a five-pointed star, in the center 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 wreath is 6 cm, the size "LYUNGTN" is 27 mm, the letters are 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 Red Army soldiers with yellow paint), the wreath itself and the inscription are embroidered with silver (for Red Army soldiers - with white paint).

PROBABLY THE CHEVRON OF THAT TIME:

AND HERE IS THE PATCH OF THE RED ARMY OF THE BASHKIR PARTS OF THE RKKA, SAMPLE OF 1919, QUALITY COPY, USSR

And here is the classic of the genre - the award badge of the commanders of the South-Eastern Front of the Red Army in 1918-1920.

Here is another interesting point - a document with the seal of the Administration Department of the Moscow Council of Workers', Peasants' and Red Army Deputies:

and print closer:

By the way, the Department of the Council of Deputies is a very important, interesting and practically unexplored bureaucratic structure of the Bolshevik regime.
He was in charge of the elections to the Soviets, oversaw political organizations and the church, led the police, forced labor and concentration camps, evacuated prisoners and refugees, was in contact with the Cheka, monitored the observance of the norms of Soviet legislation in the documents of the Soviets, etc. and so on.
The flag of his future explorer is still underfoot. Can someone take this flag in their hands?

Well, for a snack - "Delaunay-Belleville 45 CV" Nicholas II - on the radiator cap Swastika:

And the quality is better - the swastika on the hood of the car of Nicholas II. Tsarskoye Selo, 1913:

At the end of what I have read, I would like to suggest answering a few questions (it is advisable not to start from generally accepted historical knowledge, let it be better to base it on alternative history).
So, who printed this strange money in 1917? Who came to power under the guise of a "provisional government"? On the chevrons of "whose" army did the swastika flaunt?

This topic has already been on the site more than once, but we repeat, in case someone missed it.

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".

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.

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.

Award badge of the 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.

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 the 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 talks about the connections of the swastika and 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 is 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.
