State symbols of the USSR. Symbols of the USSR

Every person, in order to be a full-fledged member of society, must love his Fatherland, protect it, know and respect its history. Our country, Russia, is the successor state of the RSFSR in terms of territorial and property rights, and at the same time, the USSR in terms of fulfilling its obligations under concluded treaties.

But not only formally Russia is a continuation of the USSR, because the historical process does not end, and our roots are in the Soviet Union, which was a great power. Therefore, knowing about the flag and coat of arms of the USSR means not losing touch with your glorious past.

How it all began

The USSR was formed on December 29, 1922, when at a conference delegates from four republics (RSFSR, Belarusian, Ukrainian and Transcaucasian) signed an agreement on this. The next day, December 30, 1922, the document was approved at the First All-Union Congress of Councils of Heads of Delegations.

This date is the date of formation of the Soviet Union. However, the government and ministries were formed only in July 1923. From that time on, work began on state symbols - the coat of arms of the USSR, the anthem and the flag.

Description

The coat of arms of the USSR, the photo of which is given above, is the official symbol of the state, which existed from 1956 to 1991. It looks like this. In its very center there is a globe framed by sun rays and ears of corn. Below, under the sun, on a red ribbon, there is an inscription in Russian: “Workers of all countries, unite!”

In the lower part, the bunches of ears of corn are wrapped in a continuation of the ribbon, fragments of which also have similar inscriptions, but in the languages ​​of the republics that were part of the Union. At the top point there is a red five-pointed star with a yellow rim.

Symbolism of the coat of arms of the USSR

It symbolizes voluntary unions: workers and peasants; republics in a single state on an equal basis. The international significance of the coat of arms of the USSR lies in the fact that it expresses the idea of ​​equality of all nations, international solidarity of the peoples of the USSR with the working people of the whole planet.

The continents on the coat of arms are painted light brown, and the inscriptions are made in gold letters. The sheaves of ears of corn on the state emblem of the USSR are intended to show that the state is viable and prosperous. The sun gives light to the ideas of a communist society, foreshadowing a bright future for all peoples of the Earth.

Story

The first coat of arms of the USSR was approved on July 6, 1923 by the highest authority in 1922-1938 - the Central Executive Committee (CEC of the USSR). Its description was enshrined in Article 142 of the Constitution, adopted in January 1924. In the period from 1923 to 1936, the motto about the accession of the proletarians of all countries was noted on the coat of arms in six languages ​​of the four republics that were part of the USSR in 1923. These are Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Armenian, Azerbaijani and Georgian.

But the history of the USSR coat of arms did not end there. Subsequently, with the change in the number of republics included in the USSR, the number of ribbons and, accordingly, the number of languages ​​in which the motto was written also changed. Since 1937, the pattern of changes has been as follows:

• from 1937 to 1946 - 11 films;
• from 1946 to 1956 - 16 films;
• from 1956 to 1991 - 15 films.

Projects

On January 10, 1923, the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee created a commission whose tasks included the development of a coat of arms and flag. The Central Election Commission approved the main elements of the symbols of the USSR: sickle, hammer, sun, motto. In February of the same year, an order was transferred to Goznak to create the coat of arms of the USSR.

Sketches of projects by a number of artists have survived to this day. Here is a description of some of them, as well as other facts regarding the process of creating the coat of arms.

• Dunin-Borkowski, being a supporter of the classical approach, depicted the coat of arms in the form of a shield with a hammer and sickle.
• An early design from 1923 has been preserved at the Central Telegraph in Moscow: a globe surrounded by ears of corn, a red star at the top, and a hammer and sickle on the sides.
• There was also a pentagon with a hammer and sickle located inside it, surrounded by rays of the sun and industrial symbols (project by D. S. Golyadkin).
• The head of one of the departments of Goznak, V.N. Andrianov, proposed adding a drawing of the globe to the center of the coat of arms. This was supposed to become a symbol that any state could join the USSR. Close to Andrianov’s plan and to today’s image were the sketches of Ya. B. Dreyer and V. P. Korzun. The final whole composition was compiled by Andrianov.
• The authorities closely monitored the process. Thus, Avel Enukidze, who was at that time the secretary of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee, proposed to depict a red star at the top of the coat of arms instead of the “USSR” monogram.
• The final drawing was made by the artist I. I. Dubasov. In his initial design, the mottos were placed on a ribbon located at the bottom. But then it was decided to place them on belt interceptions of ears of grain in six languages.

Acceptance and further changes

The design of the coat of arms was adopted along with the draft Constitution on July 6, 1923 at the II session of the Central Executive Committee. It was finally approved by the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee on September 22, 1923. At the Second Congress of Soviets on January 31, 1924, the first Constitution of the USSR was adopted, by which the new coat of arms was officially legalized. As mentioned above, it contained his description.

In accordance with the Constitution of 1936, the USSR already consisted of 11 republics, since the Transcaucasian Republic was divided into three - Georgian, Armenian, Azerbaijan. These changes were reflected in the coat of arms, where the number of ribbons was already 11, as stated in Article 143 of the Constitution.

Subsequent clarifications

O3.09.1940 The Presidium of the Supreme Council decided to make changes to the coat of arms of the USSR due to the fact that the number of republics had increased to 16. At the same time, work was carried out related to the preparation of a new Constitution. On 03/03/1941 a new preliminary draft of the coat of arms was adopted. However, the war was an obstacle to completing the work.

The new version of the coat of arms was approved only on June 26, 1946. The motto was already indicated on it in 16 languages. Inscriptions in languages ​​such as Moldavian, Latvian, Estonian, and Finnish were added to those that already existed. As for the republics of Central Asia and Azerbaijan, the corresponding inscriptions were made in Cyrillic.

Latest adjustments

After these clarifications, some more adjustments were made, which were as follows:

• On July 16, 1956, the Karelo-Finnish Republic became autonomous and became part of the RSFSR. As a result, on September 12, 1956, one of the ribbons, indicating the motto in Finnish, was removed from the coat of arms.
• On April 1, 1958, the motto in the Belarusian language was clarified. Changes were made to both the coat of arms of the USSR and the coat of arms of the Byelorussian SSR.
• Ribbons with mottos were located in accordance with the order in which the republics were listed in the Constitution, in Article 13, where they, in turn, corresponded to the population size in them.

At different periods, clarifications and new drawings of the coat of arms were made by artists working in Goznak - S. A. Novsky, I. S. Krylkov, P. M. Chernyshev, S. A. Pomansky.

1980 Regulations

On March 31, 1980, the Presidium of the Supreme Court approved the regulation on the coat of arms, which was enshrined in law on June 25, 1980. According to this provision, the coat of arms was a symbol:

• state sovereignty of the Soviet Union;
• the union of workers, peasants, and intelligentsia, which was considered indestructible;
• brotherhood and friendship of nations and nationalities;
• the unity of the entire Soviet people - the builder of a communist society.

• in Russian – in the bottom center;
• in Ukrainian, Uzbek, Georgian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Tajik, Turkmen - from the left side, from bottom to top;
• in Belarusian, Kazakh, Azerbaijani, Moldavian, Kyrgyz, Armenian, Estonian.

Coats of arms of the republics

All union republics had coats of arms. Their descriptions were in the Constitutions. The designs of these coats of arms were based on the coat of arms of the USSR, as a result of which their main elements were also the hammer and sickle, and the motto written in the language of the corresponding republic. In addition, there was a reflection of those features that were inherent in the local nature, culture, and economy.

The autonomous republic's coat of arms was the coat of arms of the union of which it was a member. To it was added the name of the autonomous entity in its language, in the language of the union republic and in Russian. The motto was carried out in the language of the autonomous republic.

Today, the coat of arms of the USSR, like all its symbols, is prohibited (along with the Nazi one) in some Eastern European countries at the legislative level. These include Ukraine, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Hungary. It should be noted that the ban applies to public display, with the exception of use for museum, information and similar purposes. In addition, the European Court prohibited the registration of trademarks that depict the coat of arms of the Soviet Union.

USSR flag

Along with the coat of arms, the state flag was also installed. It looked like this: a red rectangular cloth, on which, near the shaft, in the upper corner, were depicted a golden sickle, a hammer and a five-pointed star, surrounded by a golden border. Its width was ratioed to length as 1:2. However, the original idea for the flag was different. This is evidenced by the entry in Article 71 of the first Constitution of the USSR, which provided for the flag of the USSR with the coat of arms on a red or scarlet cloth.

To date, there is no evidence that this type of flag has been approved, or that its production has begun. Due to the fact that difficulties arose in the production of such a flag, the 3rd session of the Central Executive Committee on November 12, 1923 adopted a resolution in which the description of the flag corresponds to what is indicated in the first paragraph of this section. The flag was finally approved in April 1924.

After the collapse of the USSR, on December 25, 1991, the Russian Federation, as a continuation and successor state, took its place in the UN, without a new entry procedure. In New York, in front of the UN building, instead of the national flag of the USSR, the flag of the Russian Federation was raised. On the same day, the USSR flag was lowered in the Kremlin over the residence of the President of the USSR. The tallest Soviet flag was attached to the Mir station, which was in orbit for another year, and then disappeared into outer space.

When visiting, we can often notice objects and certain symbols of the Soviet Union. For everyone, the USSR remains in memory in its own way. For some, this is ice cream for 5 kopecks. For others, it's quality children's toys.
For others, it is affordable medicine and education. We will never be able to return to those years again. Many people have forgotten that it was at that time that our parents met. That it was then that the KVN program came out...

Turntable

The vinyl record player is the grandfather of the cassette recorder. Although the history of the player begins in 1877, it can still be called a symbol of the USSR era. There was not a single family in the Soviet Union that did not have at least one record with Alla Borisovna Pugacheva. What was the sound like? And this specific crack? It's better to hear it once. If you have a record player somewhere in the attic, you should definitely put on a record of “Blue Bird”, “Pesnyary” or “Aria” and just listen, and be imbued with this time - carefree and stable.

Rotary telephone

In the USSR, when asked about a telephone, one could only name its color and number. And there was only one melody. It was a terrible ringing sound. True, many people liked the dialing sound. It was an amazing sound. Who would have thought that very little time would pass and old rotary phones would replace modern smartphones. What was valuable about the technology of the Soviet Union was that it almost never broke down.

Carpets

I don’t even know where to start describing this Soviet trend. The carpet is everything. They were all around. On the walls, on the floor, they covered beds and cars, carpets were given as gifts, kept as a dowry, expensive carpets were a symbol of wealth and prestige. Many people still keep this attribute of the Soviet era. Most often these can be found in villages and towns. But fashion does not stand still and now our floors are decorated with parquet, artificial fur coverings and animal skins.

Soda machines

Seventh place in the list of the most famous symbols of the USSR era is occupied by “Soda machines”. In Soviet times, soda was exotic, and no one could resist drinking a few glasses. Especially when the price was a couple of kopecks. We were not mistaken; indeed, a glass of water from the machine cost a couple of kopecks. It's hard to believe now, but it used to be the norm.

Alarm

They say that the devil invented the alarm clock to make people angry in the morning. I think he succeeded. Even the neighbors heard the sound of the Soviet alarm clock. This heartbreaking ringing could even raise the dead from the grave. They did not differ from each other in any special design, but they still had differences in appearance.

Camera

In Soviet times, almost every man was partial to cameras. One of the first at that time was the Zenit camera. After him, the equally famous “Kyiv” and “FED” appeared. In the USSR, SLR and mirrorless cameras were produced and each had its own supporters. Obtaining photographs used to be more labor-intensive than it is now, but this did not stop people from becoming interested in photography.

TV

In Soviet times, televisions were black and white. Colored people began to appear much later, and people didn’t even know what a remote control was, so they had to turn on the TV and change channels themselves, going close to the TV. You could often see grandmothers covering the TV with a napkin. Why this was done, no one knows to this day.

Magazines

“Murzilka”, “Ogonyok”, “Funny Pictures”, “Knitting”, “Pepper” - these magazines can be listed for a very long time. These were not glossy magazines with brightly colorful pictures printed on modern laser printers. There were no articles about how a famous singer gave birth to a giraffe, or about the pros and cons of cheating, etc. Those who were photographed for these magazines were not famous models with a ton of makeup on their faces, they were ordinary people. Each magazine had its own fans and its own history.

Painting “Three heroes”

You will probably be surprised why I took out this particular picture separately from the others? Well, how could it be different? Three heroes are a symbol of the USSR era. Do you remember the carpets? So it was about the same with the three heroes. Almost everyone had a painting or a coinage, or a cigarette case, or some other figurine with three heroes. But most often I came across a painting by the great artist Viktor Vasnetsov.

Electronics “Well, wait a minute”

The most famous symbol of the USSR era is Electronics “Well, wait a minute.” There are two types of people, some remember this game and now smiled when they saw it, while others do not know and have not even heard of it. And therefore, I simply cannot explain to them what it is and how to play it. But for us who know here, everything is clear - the wolf catches eggs.

I found an interesting article about the symbolism of the Gers of the USSR. There is a lot of text; if you remove the slightly cynical manner of presentation, then there are many interesting thoughts
.

But not an eagle, not a lion, not a lioness
They decorated our coat of arms,
And the golden wreath of wheat,
A mighty hammer, a sharp sickle.

S. Mikhalkov

...And above them is a coat of arms spotted with flies -
A terrible coat of arms made of cast lead -
On it is a sickle covered in the blood of a peasant.
And the hammer is in the blood of the blacksmith.

I. Kormiltsev

Part I

You can believe even without faith,
You can also do nothing...

"Nautilus-Pompilius"

Oh, let's get nostalgic first! So, we remember our barefoot childhood, a lesson in patriotic education on the eve of the next anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution, the inspired and sublime voice of Mary Ivanna or whatever her name - your first teacher - was called with mystical awe, accentuated pauses and semi-erotic aspirations: - Vladimir Dmitrievich Bonch-Bruevich, story “Soviet coat of arms”:

Everything was created anew in our country. And a new state emblem was also needed, which had never existed before in the history of nations - the emblem of the world's first state of workers and peasants.
At the beginning of 1918, they brought me a drawing of the coat of arms, and I immediately took it to Vladimir Ilyich.
Vladimir Ilyich at that time was in his office and talking with Yakov Mikhailovich Sverdlov, Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky and a whole group of comrades. I placed the drawing on the table in front of Lenin.
- What is this - a coat of arms?.. Interesting to see! - And he, leaning over the table, began to look at the drawing.
Everyone surrounded Vladimir Ilyich and together with him looked at the draft coat of arms.
The rays of the rising sun shone against a red background, framed by sheaves of wheat; a sickle and a hammer crossed inside, and a sword was pointed upward from the belt of sheaves towards the sun's rays.
- Interesting! - said Vladimir Ilyich, - There is an idea, but why a sword? - And he looked at all of us.
“We are fighting, we are fighting and will continue to fight until we consolidate the dictatorship of the proletariat and until we expel both the White Guards and the interventionists from our country. But violence cannot rule among us. The policy of conquest is alien to us. We do not attack, but fight off enemies, our war is defensive, and the sword is not our emblem. We must hold it firmly in our hands in order to defend our proletarian state as long as we have enemies, as long as we are attacked, as long as we are threatened, but this does not mean that this will always be the case. When the brotherhood of peoples throughout the world is proclaimed, we will not need the sword. We must remove the sword from the coat of arms of our socialist state... - And Vladimir Ilyich crossed out the sword in the drawing with a finely sharpened pencil. - But the rest of the coat of arms is good. Let's approve the project, and then look and discuss it again in the Council of People's Commissars. We need to do this quickly...
And he put his signature on the drawing.
The artist, who listened carefully to everything Lenin said, promised to soon bring a new sketch of the coat of arms.
Some time later, when the artist came another time, the sculptor Andreev was sitting in Vladimir Ilyich’s office. Lenin worked, received visitors, and the sculptor sat quietly on the sofa and made sketches in an album. He was preparing to sculpt a portrait of Ilyich.
We started looking at the new drawing. The sword was no longer in the picture, and the coat of arms was crowned with a star.
Andreev watched along with everyone.
- Well, what do you think? - Vladimir Ilyich turned to him, - Very good, just one more thing...
Taking a pencil, Andreev, with the artist’s permission, immediately redrew the coat of arms on the table. He thickened the sheaves, intensified the sparkling rays of the sun, and somehow made everything more expressive. The star took on a strict five-pointed shape, and the slogan “Workers of all countries, unite!” began to be read more clearly.
This design of the coat of arms of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, executed according to the comments of Vladimir Ilyich, was approved in 1918.
It was clear to all working people who defended their native Soviet power from enemies.
The five-pointed star that shines at the top of the coat of arms has become the emblem of our army - the Red Army star.
Now our state has become the mighty Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The coat of arms of the Soviet Union also has a hammer and sickle and golden sheaves in the rays of the rising sun.
And each republic has its own coat of arms. The sun on the emblems of the republics rises from behind the snowy mountain peaks and from the boundless sea. Each coat of arms bears the slogan “Workers of all countries, unite!” and the emblem of the world's first workers' state is the hammer and sickle.

Of course, it was not allowed to question the words of Lenin’s apostle - this was equated with anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda and was punishable by the corresponding article of the most humane legislation in the world. And any person burdened with intellect had a great many questions about what he had read.

For example, why in Bonch-Bruevich’s opus the direct author of the coat of arms, engraver of the Petrograd printing house Alexander Nikolaevich Leo, is not named either by name or surname, but appears as an anonymous “artist”? How could the sculptor Nikolai Andreevich Andreev, who began working with Lenin in 1919, make changes to the coat of arms approved as an official symbol on June 10, 1918? Did Bonch-Bruevich really not know that the Soviet coat of arms, which he glorified, initially did not have a red star because this symbol was adopted as the emblem of the Red Army only on July 18, 1918, that is, a month after the approval of the coat of arms? Well, and finally, Bonch-Bruevich enthusiastically praises the coat of arms of the USSR, which, as a state entity, will appear on December 30, 1922, while in 1918 we could only talk about the coat of arms of the RSFSR!

Eh, it’s a pity that I’m not a professional historian - I would certainly dig up the answers to these questions. But, alas, I don’t understand history at all...

But I am initiated into some other knowledge, for which there is no place provided for in the harmonious architectonics of modern academic ideas. For example, in sacred symbolism. And, to be honest, I started the conversation not for the sake of Bonch-Bruevich, but for the sake of, in fact, the coat of arms. And I set myself the goal of analyzing the coat of arms of the Soviet Union from a mystical point of view, revealing its sacred meaning ( Well, really, I won’t be able to tell you fairy tales until the end of my days!).

Let me, author,” the annoying reader, who has experienced all the methods of brainwashing invented by the Soviet education system, will hasten to confront me, “any “sacredness,” by definition, implies some kind of occult roots, and the Bolshevik-Leninists positioned themselves as militant atheists. Could rabid atheists turn their gaze to some non-materialistic spheres?

I will begin to answer, with your permission, from afar: the entire history of communism in Russia is a history of lies! The communists were striving for power under the slogans of getting out of the imperialist war and immediate peace - and, having seized control, they immediately unleashed a civil war, which was much more bloody and fierce. The communists advocated for the abolition of the death penalty - and created a repressive system the likes of which the world has never seen. The communists promised the peasants land - and drove them into collective farms, completely depriving them of their property. The communists declared freedom of religion - and plunged the country into the abyss of godlessness...

Yes, indeed, the people who came to power in Russia as a result of the October revolution called themselves atheists and in fact were such. Only, here, the term “ atheism"has two interpretations:
1. lack of religious beliefs;
2. belief in the absence of God.

Did you feel the difference? In the first case, the person simply doesn't believe in anything. In the second - professes a religion whose main postulate is the denial of the existence of the Divine principle. At the same time, while denying God specifically, the atheistic belief system does not at all prohibit believing in something else - in Darwin's theory, for example. Or find a “substitute” for God, clumsily trying to replace the concept of “God” with the concept of “Supermind”. Or you can, referring to the imperfection of our world, draw from this the conclusion that in fact it - the world - is ruled not by God, but by the devil - such a “worldview” is called Satanism, but its background is still the same - atheistic, rejecting God or a humiliating role. You can, maddened by pride, put yourself - man - in the place of God - then you will get anthroposophy. It can be assumed that the role of God was played by some highly advanced creatures from other worlds - the entire theory of paleocontact, born by Erich von Däniken, is based on this idea. Well, and finally, the latest atheistic model was created by the Wachowski brothers in the well-known movie “The Matrix”, where Divine functions are performed only by a computer simulator.

The atheists of the “second group”, who deny God but do not disdain mysticism, were all Bolshevik-Leninists. The RSDLP consisted of 99% Masons. In order not to go too far for examples, let’s take the Bolshevik People’s Commissar Semyon Pafnutievich Sereda, who once lived in Ryazan - he successfully combined the leadership of the Ryazan underground workers with the post of hierarch of the Masonic lodge.

Although, of course, there were individuals among the Bolsheviks who had not tainted themselves by connections with Freemasonry. For example, Solomon Moiseevich Uritsky, who gave his name to one of the Ryazan streets. He was a Hasid and his religious beliefs did not allow him to join not only the Masonic lodge, but even the Leninist party. Until his inglorious end at the hands of, by the way, his fellow tribesman Kannegiesser, he was a communist only “in his soul.”

And Yakov Mikhailovich Sverdlov (Yankel Movshevich Gauchmann), although he was an ardent communist, did not renounce the faith of his fathers either, and in all questionnaires in the religion column he wrote: Jew. True, he was a relative Jew - of all Judaism, he recognized only Kabbalah and could, for example, to spite his fellow believers, present the idea of ​​​​working on Saturdays, violating the Sabbath - this is how “communist subbotniks” appeared. That is, even from Kabbalah he chose its most “black” direction.

Vladimir Dmitrievich Bonch-Bruevich was also a Doukhobor sectarian, with a quote from whom we began our story. Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky was fond of spiritualism from his youth and tried himself as a hypnotist.

And Lev Davidovich Trotsky (Leiba Davidovich Bronstein) was not only a full-blown Jewish Mason, a member of the Jewish lodge “Bnait Brit”, but also a member of the satanic sect of the Illuminati. Both of these organizations will make an invaluable contribution to the cause of the “Russian revolution”: the head of Bnight Brith, the American banker, pathological Zionist and equally pathological Russophobe Jacob Schiff, will become Trotsky’s main sponsor, and Lev Davidovich will borrow the symbol from the Illuminati - pentagram- and the main holiday is the magical May Day, the day following Walpurgis Night, May 1...

Despite obvious mental disorders and drug addiction, the Austrian Jew Sigismund Freud was a member of Bnait Brith. His unsubstantiated speculations, thanks to the support of his fellow Masons, will be “promoted” as the greatest theory explaining human psychology, and exalted individuals are still trying to “treat” their complexes using the method of psychoanalysis according to Sigmund Freud. And the Illuminati, unlike other similar secret societies that did not allow women and representatives of the fair sex into their circle, on the contrary, were widely involved in their activities. One of these “attracted” was Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya.

I consider it inappropriate to clutter up my story with a list of names of the remaining “faithful Leninists” and evidence of their involvement in one or another destructive cult - I will briefly mention only the main thing, about Lenin. The grandson of a baptized Jew (see Wikipedia), of course, could not become an Orthodox person to the core. He defined his system of beliefs for himself and for those around him as atheism, but there was something unhealthy in this Leninist individual atheism. In his letters, he boasted that, when working with books, wherever he came across the word “God” in the text, in the margin opposite he wrote “bastard” with an exclamation mark. Do you think a person who is sincerely convinced that there is no God would engage in such things? It turns out that for Ilyich this word was not an empty phrase, since it caused him a suffocating spasm of irritation. And, trying to insult God, Lenin had to be sure that He would hear him! Ilyich really didn’t believe in Baba Yaga, so he didn’t fight her... In a word, it’s some kind of pathological atheism according to the recipe of “the most humane person.”

I can’t resist giving a small but revealing illustration of Lenin’s atheism. On May 1, 1919, signed by Ilyich, the Soviet government issued a decree “On the fight against priests and religion”:

May 1, 1919
№ 13666/2.

Chairman of the Cheka Comrade. Dzerzhinsky F.E.

NOTE

In accordance with the decision of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee and the Council. Nar. The commissars need to put an end to priests and religion as quickly as possible. Popovs should be arrested as counter-revolutionaries and saboteurs, and shot mercilessly and everywhere. And as much as possible. Churches are subject to closure. The premises of the temples should be sealed and turned into warehouses. Chairman of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee Kalinin, Chairman of the Council. Nar. Komissarov Ulyanov (Lenin).

The resolution is registered under number 13666-2! Coincidence? Or a well-thought-out mystical action: dating the day of the main holiday of Satanists with numerological reinforcement in the form of a registration number combined from the “devil's dozen” and the “number of the beast”? In addition, from the cited instructions, only a complete fool would not understand what specific “religion” it is directed at - after all, neither mullahs nor rabbis are called “priests”!

In the first 10 years of its existence, Soviet power and the occult lived in perfect harmony. The mutual benefit of such a tandem was obvious: occult schools were given the opportunity to develop in hothouse conditions, and the godless authorities had an ally in the fight against Orthodoxy. This is also the specificity of Bolshevik “atheism”: it did not affect Judaism in any way (during the years of anti-church psychosis in Moscow, for example, two new synagogues were opened), it was kind to Islam (it was written off as a “relic” that should not be eradicated, but “eliminated” gradually) and only the Russian Orthodox Church was subject to complete and immediate destruction.

Despite the catastrophic situation in the country, devastation and famine, the Soviet government miraculously always had funds for “state support” for occult projects of varying degrees of dubiousness. At this time, for example, Barchenko’s expeditions were organized to the Kola Peninsula in order to search for traces of the Hyperborean civilization there, and Blyumkin’s expeditions to Tibet to look for Shambhala.

Moreover, it is already clear from the personalities of their leaders which structures took direct part in both events. Alexander Barchenko was Dzerzhinsky’s personal creation, and Yakov Blumkin is the same Cheka employee who shot the German ambassador Mirbach in 1918, but did not suffer any punishment for this, and calmly continued his service in the authorities. Yesenin, who at that moment was in another “complex”, joined him in the expedition, but only reached Transcaucasia, where he “left behind” the expedition, preferring an affair with the Batumi Armenian Shagane Talyan to the traveler’s laurels:

My old wound has subsided -
Drunken delirium does not gnaw at my heart,
Blue flowers of Tehran
I am treating them today in a teahouse...

(S. Yesenin “Persian motives”).

Both expeditions were supervised by Gleb Bokiy, Sverdlov’s favorite and a “black” occultist, who “became famous” back in the Civil War for obliging his subordinates... to drink the blood of their victims. Evidence of this was brought to us not by some white emigrant, who could be suspected of dirty slander against people with “hot hearts and cold heads,” but by Bokiy’s former employee, security officer G. Agabekov, in his book “Secret Terror.”

After the Civil War, Bokiy’s “talents” found a worthy use - he headed the secret department of the OGPU, which dealt with issues of the occult and magic. As you can see, in Soviet Russia such structures existed not only on the pages of the Strugatsky brothers’ novel “Monday Begins on Saturday,” but also in reality!

Once again I have to apologize to the readers for wasting their time with digressions, but the facts are simply crying out: Bokiy was also the head of the Solovetsky special purpose camp. It was he who organized a death camp in a former monastery - the northern stronghold of Orthodoxy. And again, as with resolution No. 13666, let's think about whether this was an accident? Or did some forces really need to stain the holy place with blood? Then, who should be entrusted with the execution of such a delicate task if not a “black magician” - a lover of drinking human blood! By the way, NIICHaVo (Research Institute of Witchcraft and Wizardry) was located, according to the Strugatskys, in the northern town of Solovets and had a department of Defense Magic in its structure - now the allegory is clear.

The practice of occultism in the 1920s was actively supplemented by theory. Again, despite economic difficulties, dubious “research institutes” begin to appear like mushrooms. Most of them will soon cease to exist, but some will survive even to this day. For example, the Brain Institute.

This is now the Brain Institute - a serious scientific institution, a stronghold of academic medicine, and at the dawn of its existence... Have you ever wondered why it is called the Brain Institute ( in the singular and with a capital letter), and not the Brain Institute? Yes, because it was originally intended to study one single brain - of course, Lenin's. And he had a very specific goal - "obtaining the substance of Lenin's genius". The wording is in the spirit of medieval alchemy!

And since no money was spared in the country of the Soviets on any topic even casually related to “Leninianism,” things went well. In their free time from unraveling Lenin’s convolutions, they began to study mental phenomena such as mass hysteria. The OGPU raised a topic - the use of hypnosis to obtain testimony. It has grown into a larger direction - consciousness control. And from there, there is already one step left to psychotronic developments... Information about them leaks sporadically to the media, and publications appear not only in tabloid newspapers, consisting half of a TV program and the other half of advertising modules, but also in official print media, such as Rossiyskaya Gazeta, which are in “yellowness” “You can’t blame me in any way - I’ll give you an illustration http://www.rg.ru/2006/12/22/gosbezopasnostj-podsoznanie.html.

Well, the apotheosis of Bolshevik occultism was the burial of Lenin - although it cannot be called a burial. A typical rite of necromancy, not used in the civilized world since the times of the Egyptian pharaohs, was performed over Lenin's corpse. His goal is to preserve the corpse, which, according to the concepts of black magic, helps to retain his spirit in this world. A certain system of greeting spells, such as “Lenin lived, Lenin is alive, Lenin will live!”, the spirit can be energetically “fed”, and other spell systems, less known to the general public, can be used for their own purposes.

I, as a biochemist by training, drew attention to such an interesting fact, purely from my professional point of view: according to the official version, the embalming composition for Lenin’s corpse was miraculously invented in three days by Boris (Berl) Zbarsky. However, when North Korean scientists tried to autonomously repeat the same thing in 1994 by embalming Kim Il Sung, it took them more than a year and a half to work, despite the fact that the technologies of 1994 were strikingly different from the technologies of 1924 that Zbarsky had at his disposal. Willy-nilly, the thought creeps in, did someone tell Zbarsky the formula?

As, for example, they suggested to the architect A.V. Shchusev's idea of ​​a tomb for Lenin's effigy. The future academician of architecture was advised by a certain F. Poulsen. In his memoirs, Shchusev writes that as prototypes for the mausoleum he took the altar of the Temple of Pergamon, the tomb of Cyrus the Great and the step pyramid of Djoser (A. Abramov “At the Kremlin Wall”), however, arbitrarily or involuntarily, Shchusev achieved maximum similarity not with these objects, but with Mesopotamian ziggurats ( we'll talk about them a little later). This is not surprising, since Poulsen, who advised Shchusev, was precisely an expert in the architecture of ancient Mesopotamia.

Lenin's Mausoleum is a typical religious building in the form of a miniature seven-step pyramid.

In a word, before Lenin had time to cool down, the forces unknown to us that led the actions of the funeral commission already found funds, specialists and “consultants” from more than exotic areas. And, not giving a damn about the desire of the deceased to be buried next to his mother, not giving a damn about his wife’s protests, the Bolshevik necromancers placed a mummy with great mystical meaning on Red Square - in the sacred heart of Russia:

All the kings of the nations, all lie with honor, each in his own tomb; and you are cast down outside your tomb, like a despised branch, like the clothing of those killed, struck down by the sword, who are lowered into stone ditches; you, like a trampled corpse, will not be united with them in the grave; for you have destroyed your land, you have killed your people: the tribe of evildoers will never be remembered(Book of the prophet Isaiah, chapter 14, verses 18-20).

…I’ve already written a whole chapter, but I’m not even close to the main topic. But I need such an extensive preface in order to prove that the Soviet coat of arms is not a simple design, but a mystical sign, the sacred meaning of which is not a random combination, but the result of the painstaking and systematic work of the Red Warlocks.

Look at a few symbols of the Soviet era. These are the symbols
without which it was impossible to imagine our life when we were all citizens of the Soviet Union.
And yet there is something about them that unites everyone.

Aurora salvo

Every sailor knows this sign. The sailors of the Aurora also knew her. A woman on a ship means trouble. But this woman was so beautiful that the sailors did not dare to refuse her, they could not drive her away from the ship. Tall, slender, dressed in a snow-white dress that set off her stern pallor. “Like a statue come to life,” the sailors recalled. It was this woman who boarded the Aurora on the evening of October 25, 1917, and it was she who gave the order to fire a blank shot at 21:40. And the sailors did not dare to disobey her... This legend has lived since Commander Ognev fired that very shot from the Aurora’s gun, which became not just a signal for the storming of the Winter Palace, but the starting point of a new era. An era that radically changed the life of a huge country. Historians who studied the October events of 1917 argued that the mysterious stranger could be the famous revolutionary and writer Larisa Reisner. But people said that the beauty was in fact the “spirit of the revolution” and disappeared immediately after the shot.

“Every person knows: Artek, a glorious children’s camp, begins with a capital letter A.” This is what Samuil Marshak wrote about Artek. But in Soviet times, “Artek” was not just a “glorious children’s camp” - it was a showcase that they loved to show to foreigners, they say, “look how our children are relaxing, look and envy!” Presidents, prime ministers, kings and queens, astronauts, artists and writers have been here. If any important foreign guest found himself in Crimea, he was necessarily taken to Artek. Artek is a unique phenomenon, the phenomenon of which is difficult to explain. Children from all over the USSR and from other countries went to Crimea not just to relax and improve their health. In “Artek” there was always a spirit of collectivism (not a crowd or a flock, but a close-knit team), some kind of special Artek atmosphere. And during the short summer shift, Artek employees became almost like family to the children.

Baikal-Amur Mainline

According to plans, through traffic on the BAM was to open in 1985. However, construction was completed a year ahead of schedule. On September 29, 1984, at the Bambukhta crossing in the Chita region, a “golden junction” took place - the builders, who had been walking towards each other from the east and west for 10 years, met. As at any Soviet “construction site of the century,” the volume of work completed was amazing. During the construction of the BAM and highway roads, builders moved more than 600 million cubic meters of soil over ten years, threw about 4,200 bridges and pipes across rivers and watercourses, laid more than 5 thousand kilometers of main and station tracks, built 56 railway stations and 119 sidings. Up to half a million people took part in the construction of the highway. And as often happened, next to the grandiose volumes and incredible labor feats, there was complete everyday disorder of the people who performed these feats. The road was built, the trains were launched, everything was reported, but the people were forgotten...

Vladimir Vysotsky

Vladimir Semyonovich began writing songs in the early 60s. At first it was the “thieves” romance that was fashionable in those days. The recordings of Sergei Kuleshov (Vysotsky was “hiding” under this pseudonym for some time) began to spread throughout Moscow, but did not bring creative satisfaction to the author himself. And only after the song “Submarine” appeared, Vysotsky could say to himself: “I am a poet!” “‘Submarine’ was already serious,” recalled one of the poet’s closest friends, Igor Kokhanovsky. “And I think that it was this song that announced that the time of his creative youth was over.”

Grand Theatre

“To support him with all kinds of theatrical performances, as well as concerts, dances and masquerades, and besides him, not allow anyone to have any such entertainment during the entire time appointed by the privilege, so that he would not be undermined.” On March 17, 1776, by decree of Her Imperial Majesty Catherine II, Grand Duke Pyotr Vasilyevich Urusov received the exclusive right to maintain a Russian theater troupe and the obligation to build a building in Moscow on Bolshaya Petrovskaya Street in which opera, ballet and dramatic performances could be performed year-round. It is this day that is considered the date of the founding of the Bolshoi Theater, a unique phenomenon in the history of not only the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, but of the entire world culture. “Bolshoy” is a Russian word that any foreigner who has visited Moscow understood without translation. A symbol in the history of which the era itself is reflected, as in a mirror, majestic and tragic at the same time. Prince Urusov set to work with zeal, but, alas, the not yet completed theater, due to carelessness, burned down without opening. The affairs of Pyotr Urusov, who had invested almost all of his fortune in the theater, were on the verge of collapse, and he transferred the privilege of the theater to his partner Michael Maddock. The Englishman turned out to be more successful and completed the work he started. On December 30, 1780, on the opening day of the theater, then called Petrovsky, a ceremonial performance of two parts was given - the allegorical prologue “Wanderers” and the pantomime ballet “The Magic School”. The Petrovsky Theater troupe consisted of 13 actors, 9 actresses, 4 dancers, 3 dancers with a choreographer and 13 musicians. In those days, artists had to be, as they say, “multi-stage performers” - they played in drama, opera, and ballet.

Yuri Gagarin

Once the famous State Television and Radio announcer Yuri Levitan was asked: “What events in your broadcasting work do you remember most?” “May 9, 1945 is Victory Day and April 12, 1961 is the day of Yuri Gagarin’s flight into space,” Yuri Borisovich answered without hesitation. - May 9 - it’s clear why: we have been waiting for the end of the Great Patriotic War for a long time. But man's flight into space was expected and not expected. It seemed to us that it would be possible in two or three years. And suddenly!..". But you can’t say more precisely. May 45th and April 61st... Two great Victories. Victory over a terrible enemy and Victory over the force of gravity that kept man on Earth... Those who had the opportunity to experience both of these events recalled that they had never experienced such emotional upliftment in their lives. Pride, a feeling of something super-important and super-historical - that’s what April 1961 was all about. Pride not only for the country, for that guy with an amazingly magical smile, but also for himself. After all, I live in this country, I work for this country, which means that there is my contribution to this cosmic breakthrough, mine, albeit microscopically small, but still a personal bit... The day of April 12, 1961 began at 9:07 am Moscow time time. No, the usual day began, as expected, at midnight, at 00 hours 00 minutes. But the historical day, the cosmic day, the day that marked the beginning of a new era in the life of mankind, began in the morning at 9 hours 7 minutes. It was at this moment that a launch vehicle carrying the Vostok spacecraft launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome. On board the spacecraft was pilot Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin.

"Seventeen Moments of Spring"

“When Stirlitz walks through the streets of Berlin, the streets of all cities of the Soviet Union are empty...” The success of “Seventeen Moments of Spring” was simply stunning. The first episode of the film was shown at half past eight in the evening on August 11, 1973. And just three months later, as they said in those days, “at numerous requests from the working people,” the series was shown again. Since then, “Seventeen Moments of Spring” has been shown hundreds, if not thousands, of times on various channels. To say that the film was popular among television viewers is to say absolutely nothing. The series “Seventeen Moments of Spring” after its first showing became a phenomenon of the country’s cultural life, and its characters became folklore characters. Stirlitz stood on a par with Ilya Muromets and Chapaev. What is the secret of the film? Answering this question, Vyacheslav Tikhonov once said: “In “Seventeen Moments...” there is a balance between fiction and fact, between harshness and cruelty, there is lyrics, but there is no sentimentality, no simplifications. There is no formulaic indisputability of right and wrong actions in it. There are images and historical truth, there is no “overkill” of artistic assumptions.”

Lenin Mausoleum

On January 21, 1924, at 18:50, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin died at a dacha in Gorki near Moscow. The next day, Professor of the Department of Pathological Anatomy of Moscow University Alexey Ivanovich Abrikosov performed temporary embalming of the body (a mixture of alcohol, formaldehyde and glycerin was injected through the aorta). “Will he lie in the crypt for two months?” - Abrikosov was asked at a meeting of the USSR Central Executive Committee. "I think yes. If it's dry and cool." The famous architect Alexei Viktorovich Shchusev was invited to the same meeting, who was entrusted with the construction of a temporary crypt for Lenin’s coffin. It is interesting that until 1917 Shchusev built churches, mainly in Ukraine. His first independent work was the design of the iconostasis of the Assumption Cathedral of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra. According to his designs, the monastery complex in Ovruch, the Trinity Cathedral of the Pochaev Lavra, and several other churches were built. Among other famous works of Shchusev are the Kazansky railway station in Moscow, the building of the Moscow Hotel, he took part in the development of the project for the post-war restoration and reconstruction of Khreshchatyk. But his most famous work, of course, was the Lenin Mausoleum...

"Blue Light"

On April 6, 1962, a new weekly program appeared on Central Television. Tables were placed near the set depicting the Shabolovsky TV tower; the atmosphere in the studio looked like an evening cafe. So the name was born by itself - “Television Cafe”, after some time transformed into “Blue Light”. Initially, the authors wanted to make a musical program based on performances by artists of various pop genres. The “Television Cafe” differed from the usual concert in that the hosts were artists who not only broadcast from the television screen, but could also perform songs themselves. In addition, the presenters did not just announce “and now so-and-so will perform,” but also talked with the artists before their performance. The first episode of “Television Cafe” was hosted by Mikhail Nozhkin, Boris Brunov and Roza Uruzbaeva.

"Worker and Collective Farm Woman"

In Paris, Mukhina's brilliant work created a sensation. The sculpture “Worker and Collective Farm Woman” quite naturally received a large Grand Prix gold medal. What was striking was not just its scale (the 24-meter statue was installed on the roof of a 35-meter pavilion), but the admiration of the audience was aroused by the swiftness of the two figures, the dynamism of the image, and the clear connection of the statue with the architecture of the entire Soviet pavilion. “The perception of this group against the backdrop of the Parisian sky showed how active sculpture can be, not only in the overall ensemble of the architectural landscape, but also in its psychological impact,” recalled Vera Mukhina. “The highest joy of an artist is to be understood.” The exhibition ended, the fanfare died down, and “Worker and Collective Farm Woman” had to return home. Initially, they planned to install the sculpture on the Volga, on a dam near Rybinsk. But after “Worker and Collective Farm Woman” was admired in Paris, Rybinsk seemed an “undignified” place for the sculpture, and they decided to install it in Moscow at the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition (VSKhV). Vera Ignatievna Mukhina sharply objected to this, believing that the pedestal, which is three times lower than the exhibition pavilion, destroys the artistic perception of the sculptural group: “The figures crawl, not fly.” The author dreamed of seeing her creation on Vorobyovy Gory, where, in her opinion, it would look from an advantageous angle.

In Orthodox circles there is a rather evil mythology about the satanic nature of Soviet symbols. The devil's machinations are sought, for example, in the cruciform combination of a sickle and a hammer. Apparently the sickle, which the Russians had used since ancient times, was slipped to them by the Freemasons - no less... And in the Gospel of Mark Christ directly named carpenter: "Not a carpenter Is he, the son of Mary, the brother of James, Josiah, Judas and Simon?", which means: the Savior worked with a hammer, not even suspecting the sinister essence of this object...

Special conversation - five-pointed star, pentagram.

Here is a very typical case. Message from 07/06/2010:
“The reburial of the remains of 437 Soviet soldiers in the Ostrogozhsky district of the Voronezh region, timed to coincide with the 69th anniversary of the attack of Nazi Germany on the USSR, was overshadowed by the refusal of the local priest

participate in the commemoration of the dead.
As Oksana Sokolova, head of the press service of the government of the Voronezh region, reported on the television program “Week in the City” of the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company “Voronezh”, the local priest refused to participate in the commemoration of the fallen Soviet soldiers. He referred to the “wrong”, from his point of view, obelisk with a red star , installed over the new mass grave.
After the broadcast of the TV show, a short order was posted on the main page of the website of the Voronezh diocese in red letters and bold font: “To Priest Sergius Storozhev, rector of the Kazan Church of the village. Rotten Ostrogozhsky district of the Voronezh region, declare censure for the greatest mistake and, as penance, read the canon of repentance to our Lord Jesus Christ every day for a year.” (http://www.rus-obr.ru/node/7154)

Where did this nonsense come from that the five-pointed star is a symbol of evil?

Here's the explanation on the site "Orthodoxy.Ru" priest Afanasy Gumerov , resident of the Sretensky Monastery:

Question: Why is the pentagram (five-pointed star) considered a satanic symbol? Answer: Because some occult societies, both in ancient and modern times, chose the pentagram as a magical sign. At the same time, we must remember that the form of this symbol is taken from nature and outside of certain false teachings and actions is not significant" (http://www.pravoslavie.ru/answers/6497.htm)

That is, the five-pointed star itself does not carry any sinister meaning. As for the symbols that are used by occult societies, for example, Freemasons, they include both a cross and a double-headed eagle: “ Three other widespread symbols of the Freemasons are a solar disk with wings or a winged sun, a double-headed eagle in a crown with a sword in its paws, and a caduceus, which are interpreted as a symbol of a hermetically sealed secret, a symbol of war, the fearlessness of the Freemasons, the royalty of their art and the world spiritual union of the highest Masons degrees, and a symbol of knowledge and the polar equivalence of good and evil, as well as a symbol of the unity of the masculine and feminine principles (the double-headed eagle as the emblem of the Masonic lodges of the Scottish ritual).”

« When initiated into the officially highest degree in Freemasonry - 33, they are given an order (seal) in the form of a two-headed eagle.”

« Various crosses are also very common signs in Masonic symbolism.- tau-cross, equilateral, Greek or Roman cross, trefoil or Kabbalistic cross, six-pointed cross, gammed cross or swastika (in its various variants) and ankh, as well as their combinations with other Masonic symbols.”

This does not scare the priests away from monarchical symbols; none of them said that the double-headed eagle or, especially, the cross are satanic symbols because Masons use them...

But more than that, the supposedly satanic pentagram was used in Christianity, and meant five godparents wounds Jesus Christ And five the joys of the Virgin Mary (by the way, in Islam, a five-pointed star symbolizes the union of the five main pillars of religion). But certain forces tried to erase these facts from the mass consciousness.

Here is a very typical story from the blog http://bizantinum.livejournal.com/33757.html under the title “Five-pointed stars and iconography.”

At the beginning of the material there is an appeal from believers:

OPEN LETTER TO THE HOLY SYNOD of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church from Orthodox believers

We ask for your personal attention to the fact of a blasphemous attitude towards the greatest shrine - the Image of the Mother of God of Tenderness, which on November 22 - December 5, 2010 was brought by the grace of God to Kyiv for veneration in connection with the anniversary of His Beatitude Metropolitan Vladimir.

We are grateful to the Lord God and His Most Pure Mother, grateful to His Beatitude Metropolitan Vladimir for this opportunity to worship the great shrine, with which so many aspirations of the Orthodox people are connected. We always sincerely pray for the longevity and good health of our Primate.

However, we cannot remain silent about the obvious and brazen blasphemy that was committed throughout Kyiv in connection with the arrival of the shrine. From billboards around the city and in the metro, as well as from the service published by the Publishing Department of the UOC with an akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos (the project coordinator is the vicar of the Kyiv Metropolis, Bishop Alexander), the image of the Mother of God that was brought for veneration was looking at people.

The chasuble with pentagrams on the shoulders instead of stars, which is unusual for the well-known Image, cannot in any way be called an oversight of the designer or editor.

This is clear and malicious blasphemy. The natural reaction to such blasphemy is the offended feeling of believers, etc.

Humble novices of Your Eminences,

Orthodox believers of Ukraine

The commentary to this appeal states:

“The star, with a different number of rays and in their different combinations, has been known to Christian iconography since ancient times and existed for a long time among the Freemasons, even until 1917.

Here, for example, is the icon of the Transfiguration of the Lord, brushed by the Rev. Andrei Rublev, where the rays behind the Savior are depicted not just in the form of a five-pointed star - but in the form of an inverted pentagram.

It is quite obvious that the Monk Andrew did not suspect that 500 years later, the inverted pentagram (also black!) would become a symbol of European Satanism.

Moreover. The five-pointed star is also considered one of the symbols of the Nativity of Christ, so the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, on the site of this event itself, is crowned with a cross, above which stands the five-pointed star of Bethlehem. Finally, I’ll add a well-known truth: SYMBOLICS DO NOT EXIST OUTSIDE OF CONTEXT.”
