This country does not defeat the Russians. This country does not win (65 photos). Seeing that artillery does not cope with his tasks, the Germans began to prepare a gas attack. Note that the poisoning substances were prohibited at one time by the Hague Convention, which the Germans,
At the end of the 17th century, a hereditary military, General from infanteria, Count Vasily Ivanovich Levashov, who during the Russian-Swedish war was the commandant of the city of Friedrichsgam. In 1788, the city was besieged by the Swedish fleet. Gustav III suggested a commandant to surrender, and the Graph Levashov answered the famous "Russians not surrender!". Soon the siege was removed.
If you contact more ancient literary sources, I find that in the "Word about Igor's regiment", Prince Igor appeals to the warriors with the words: "Brohen and squad! It is better to be cut, than to be broken "(Brother and Friend! Luce would be poured in everyday life, no one is full of life). The case takes place in May 1185. That is, then these words were in everyday life.
"The Tale of Bygone Years", written by Monk Nestor, introduces the reader with the events of the X century. Son of the Grand Prince Olga Prince Svyatoslav Igorevich (945-972) spent the whole life in the campaigns. His mother was a Christian, and the prince remained a pagan.
Take a new faith refused, fearing ridicule. In his youth, Svyatoslav had to be revenge on his father, and this was reflected on the character of the prince. The chronicle describes it as an unpretentious, strong and hardy warrior. He conquered Bulgarians, broke the Khazar, fought with the Byzantines. Historian Karamzin called him "Russian Macedonian". During the reign of the prince, the state has grown and stretched from the Volga to the Balkans, from the Black Sea to the Caucasus. It honestly warned the enemies "I go to you", and since then this phrase has remained forever in Russian. It was he who first told the phrase "Russians do not surrender!", True, it sounded somewhat differently.
Greek and old-Russian sources write about the event in different ways, but you can fold the overall picture. By agreement with the Byzantine emperor John Zimischius, Prince Svyatoslav with the Greeks fought against Bulgarians. After breaking the enemy, carved by cities and wealth, he inspired and, standing at the city of Arkadyopol, demanded that the Greeks double MZDU. It was not liked by the Greeks, and they put 100,000 warriors against Prince.
Understanding that he did not survive, the prince, turning to the squad, said the very words that went through the century, inspiring the descendants to Sich: "So it's not for the Land of Russian land, but I will lie to the bones here, for the dead will not have. If we run - we will be a shame. " After that, I broke the Greeks and went to Constantinople, which was 120 kilometers. "Roma" chose not to contact the barber and looked off. Prince decided to return to Kiev, collect more warriors. On the way home, he died in ambush Pechenegov.
What made Russian princes so talk and do it? Some believe that paganism. Allegedly, like Varyagi, they believed that death on the battlefield means the afterlife in Valhal.
However, the son of Svyatoslav, Prince Vladimir, became Orthodox and baptized Russia, and the coward was also not. After two hundred years after the words of Svyatoslav, the Prince Yuri Ingvarevich also says to the "Tale of Ryazan Ryazan", too, says a friend: "It is better for us the death of God eternal to get, rather than to be in power to be". And the Mongols recall the soldiers of Evpatia Kovovrat with the words: "None of them will eat alive with the closer."
Apparently, the case is not in paganism, but in that amazing rod, which is present in Russian people. For Russians to lose their honor or become a traitor is terrible than the very life of death. Therefore, such phrases are born and accompany the Russian people throughout history.
The idea of \u200b\u200binvincibility is part of the Russian exclusivity palette.
Indeed, it is enough to look at the dynamics of the growth of the Moscow principality, for 600 years that turned out of the de facto olda ulus to the empire, stretching on the shores of three oceans to understand: Russia won a lot of military successes. At the same time, it was far from the only country, so rapidly spreading his borders. Recall in this connection at least the United States, China and the UK. I am not inclined to prone to the victories of the Russian army and the militia, but to sacralize these victories and bring to the absolute - the occupation is completely unworthy and absurd, the greater that it does not withstand historical criticism.
We will not leave in the depths of the centuries and remember the battle on Kalka, about the ruin of Russian cities in Batym, that hundreds of years Russian princes were danutrics or tankers for the Golden Horde. We will not talk about the Deulinist trucy of 1618, according to which the Commonwealth has selected half of its Western territories from Russia, including Smolensk (in its Patriotic Roman "Wall", Vladimir Medinsky presents the defense of Smolensk as a triumph of Russian weapons and will, but that the city In the end, it was occupied by the Poles, he stops shy). We will not even drive the patriots into the corner of the reminder of Russia in the Crimean War (1853-1856), - focus exclusively in the 20th century, in which, by the way, all the current supporters of the concept of invincibility were born.
1904-1905, Russian-Japanese War: Destruction of the Russian Fleet under CSUME, the fall of Port Arthur, the humiliating portsmouth world, along which Russia gave South Sakhalin and all its position in Manchuria.
1914-1918, First World War: A catastrophic series of defeasions of the Russian army. About 3 million Russian soldiers died, 2.5 million was captured. Russia, represented by the Council, signs the Brest Lithuanian treaty, losing Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine (ie, the lion's share of its most economically developed territories) and the South Caucasus.
1919-1920, Soviet-Polish War: The total losses of the Soviet side are not known, but only as a result of the defeat under Warsaw (August 1920), 25,000 Red Army residents died, 60,000 fell into Polish captivity, 45,000 was interneed in Germans. The war ended with the signing of the Riga Treaty, according to which Soviet (read: Russian) The government lost all Western Belarus and refused claims to Western Ukraine.
1979-1989, Afghan War: 15,000 (according to some estimates, 26,000) Soviet soldiers died, the Soviet Union could not achieve any of the goals set in the war, in the most successful period Soviet troops controlled only about 15% of the territory of Afghanistan.
And this is just a list of wars in which "invincible" Russian troops and, if you like, the Russian people were defeated unconditionally.
You can add a Soviet-Finnish war in 1939-1940, which the USSR actually lost, for it did not fulfill its main task (Annexia Finland) and suffered colossal human losses (approx. 170,000 dead and missing; more than 300,000 wounded and frostbed), almost 8 times more than the Finnish side.
The list can be supplemented with the first Chechen war (1994-1996), also, in essence, lost Russia. Yes, and the outcome of the second Chechen (1999-2000) is difficult to recognize unambiguously victorious: on the one hand, the armed resistance of the militants was put an end, but, on the other, now every year the Government of the Russian Federation pays Chechnya, a fair contribution under the type of federal subsidies.
So the allegations of the unique invincibility of the Russian people - the myth, and myths - as psilocybin mushrooms or amansor: exacerbate psychopathic traits character, distort the perception, develop addiction and possess the hallucinogenic effect. In fact, the myths are even more dangerous than halucinogenic fungi, for, unlike the latter, they are able to hit the psyche of tens of millions of people at the same time, and this is an order of magnitude more than the number of victims of the HIV epidemic in Russia. Special group of risk here are schoolchildren and students. Mushrooms can lead their rapid consciousness into a state of "patriotic" excitement, provoking on irreversible deeds: violence, psychosis, pogroms, war. It is not excluded that it is the hallucinogenic properties of the myth of invincibility to promote the wide distribution of political fiction genres in the Russian best-selling industry. The heroes of these bestsellers, calculated, mainly to the youth audience, fall into the past and help there with eminent ancestors - Ivan Grozny, Peter the first, Nikolai second, Stalin - to win all the wars and conquer new spaces. The arguments of the mentioned Tsareva, and the speeches of Streltsov, and the speech of beard, and the hysteries of Kurginyan, and numerous reports of the first channel are based on the same properties.
The cult of invincibility does not lead to anything good. Drug acceleration of exclusions, trips in uniqueness turn into manicity. We have seen this on the example of the Third Reich, Italy, the times of Mussolini, Japan, managed Hidheki Todzë, Serbia in Milosevic, and Georgia of the early 1990s. (As you know, Gamsakhurdia also loved to strive about the world mission and "moral destination", but not just Russian, and the Georgian nation).
Russia did not demonstrate anything extraordinary in terms of invincibility - yes it is not necessary in order to conquer respect for the world community. Rather, they could, say, the same Afghans (and British beat, and Russians, and in the Americans partially retain their position in the country), Vietnamese (over the past 60, the French won, Americans, Cambodians and successfully opposed the Chinese) or even Mongols (on the days they conquered the greatest part of civilized Eurasia).
Real winners are not made from victories of a cult. Take for example of the United States. For incomplete 250 years, this state for which Rusophiles increasingly turns their "righteous anger", came out winners from all major wars (with the exception of the War in Vietnam), in which the revolutionary war against Great Britain (1775-1883), numerous Wars with Indian tribes, war with Mexico (1846-1848), Spanish War (1898), First World War, World War II, War in South Korea (1950-1953), War in Persian Gulf (1990 -1991) and war in Iraq (2003-2011). But even with such an impressive on service list, US media and the public are not obsessed with an intrusive idea of \u200b\u200bthe invincibility of the American people. Nor in schools, nor on television, nor on the streets, nor even in the company of rigid mushrooms, you will not hear the slogan "Americans do not surrender."
The invincibility of the Russian people is only one of the types of galcinogen mushrooms growing in the field of public consciousness. Others include all other manifestations of mass drug addiction and mass narcissism, namely, the idea of \u200b\u200bGod's German people; theses about the amazing hospitality, stateness and self-sacrifice of Russian people; The confidence is that the Russian people are the most talented and that because of him so Yaros hates all the abroad; The conviction is that Russian nature is the most beautiful, Russian language is the greatest, most powerful and most complex etc..
Of course, to inflate your uniqueness or hallucinations on the basis of our own superiority - the passion for the infection, but it is in itself a serious danger. After all, so much time, energy and health is spent on it, that the country has no strength for genuine achievements. As a result, the development of a positive, productive principle in national culture is sharply slowed down, and then the ordinary exclusivity threatens to turn into hopeless, exceptional order. This is what you should remember to lovers of hallucinogen.
The story of the famous phrase, said actor Viktor Sukhorukov in one of the scenes of the film "Brother 2", has deep roots. For the first time the winged phrase "Russians do not surrender!" She flew around the whole world during the First World War. During the defense of a small fortress, Osovo, located on the territory of the current Poland. The small Russian garrison was required to hold out only 48 hours. He defended more than half a year - 190 days!
The Germans applied against the defenders of the fortress all the latest weapons achievements, including aviation. For each defender had several thousand bombs and shells. Released from airplanes and released from dozens of guns, which included two famous "large berti" (which Russians managed to bother at the same time).
The Germans bombed the fortress day and night. Month month. Russians defended the fire and iron hurricane to the latter. They were extremely small, but the same answer was always followed on the delivery proposals.
German gas battery
Seeing that artillery does not cope with his tasks, the Germans began to prepare a gas attack. It should be noted that the poisoning substances were prohibited at one time by the Hague Convention, which the Germans, however, are cynically despised, as much more, based on the slogan: "Germany is above all."
The German gaseous attack was preparing carefully, patiently waiting for the desired wind. 30 gas batteries deployed, several thousand cylinders. And on August 6, at 4 am on the Russian positions, the dark green fog of a mixture of chlorine with bromine, reaching them in 5-10 minutes. A gas wave of 12-15 meters in height and a width of 8 km penetrated to a depth of 20 km. There were no gas masks for the defenders of the fortress.
"All alive in the open air on a bridgehead of the fortress was poisoned to death," recalled a member of defense. - All the greens in the fortress and in the nearest area along the way of movement of gases were destroyed, the leaves on the trees wishes, curled and faltered, grass was handled and lay down on the ground, flower petals had shielded. All copper objects on a springboard fortress - parts of guns and shells, washbasins, tanks and so on - covered with a thick green layer of chlorine oxide; Food items stored without hermetic capping - meat, oil, fat, vegetables, - turned out to be poisoned and unsuitable for use. "
At the same time, the Germans began a massive actuator. Following him, over 7,000 infantrymen moved to the storm of the Russian positions. Their goal was to take a strategically important Sosnan position. They were promised that they would not meet anyone, except for the dead.
The participant of the defense of Osovo Alexey Lepichkin: "We did not have gas masks, so Gaza caused terrible injuries and chemical burns. With breathing, wheezing hoarse and bloody foam of lungs. The skin on his hands and faces was bubbled. Ragged with which we wrapped faces did not help. However, the Russian artillery began to act, sending a shell of a shell in the direction of Prussians from a green chlorine cloud. Here, the head of the 2nd Defense Department of the Osovo of Cracks, shook from a terrible cough, stuck: "My friends, not to fill to us, like Prussians-cockarakans, from overalls. Let's show them to remember forever! "
It seemed that the fortress was doomed and already taken. Thick, numerous German chains approached everything closer and closer ... And at that moment, from the poisonous green chlorine mist, they collapsed ... counterattack!
The Germans went "Living Dead", with persons wrapped with rags. Scream "Hurray!" There was no strength. The fighters were shocked from cough, many of the blood and slices of lungs. But walked.
Attack of the dead. Artist: Evgeny Ponomarev Russians were a little more than sixty. The remains of the 13th company of the 226th earthlock regiment. On each counterattacking accounted for more than a hundred enemies!
Russians walked in full growth. In the bayonet. Shocking from cough, sprinkling, through rags, winding faces, lung slices on bloody gymnasters ... exhausted, poisoned, they fled with the sole purpose - to crush the Germans. There was no backward, no one had to rush. There were no individual heroes here, the companies went as one person, an animated only one goal, one thought: to die, but to take revenge on living poisoners. "
These warriors plunged the enemy in such horror that the Germans, without taking the battle, rushed back. In a panic, Topchai each other, intimidated and hanging on its own barriers from barbed wire. And then on them from the clubs of the poisoned mist hit, it would seem, already dead Russian artillery.
This battle will go down in history as the "attack of the Dead." In the course of her several dozen half-two Russian warriors, 14 opponent battalions were turned off!
Russian defenders of Osovtsa never passed the fortress. She was left later. And by order of command. When the defense lost its meaning. The enemy did not leave a cartridge or nail. Everyone who survived in the fortress from German fire and bombing was blown up by Russian saules. The Germans decided to take the ruins only in a few days ...
Russians did not give up during the Great Patriotic War. Brest Fortress, Adzhimushkaya dungeon, Kiev football match with death, resistance movement in Western Europe, Stalingrad House Pavlova, fascist dungeons ...
