The courage of the city takes, or the secret weapon of the Russians
Who among us has never taken part in discussions - even on a kitchen scale - that the "great victory" was won not so much by the heroism of the soldiers and the military might of the USSR as by the fact that Germany was "pelted with human meat"? Who has not heard the cynical opinion that only the system of penal battalions created by Stalin, and machine gunners aiming at the backs of front-line soldiers from the rear, ensured a victorious offensive for the Soviet troops?..
That which helped the Soviet troops to withstand in the Great Patriotic War is still in each of us. Even if we don't always feel it.
Victory Day as a holiday, as a date, as an event has undergone a number of metamorphoses in the minds of the masses over the past couple of decades, which can be described in one line: “Holiday! Celebration. Holiday … Holiday? Celebration!!! Perhaps the only ones who have never doubted the significance of this day for history are the participants in those events. Veterans, home front workers, children of war - a generation that still keeps memories of four terrible years. These legendary people melt like ice floes that swam in a warm current, disappear like sand oozing through the fingers of an unclenched palm. Alas, this palm cannot be squeezed, this melting cannot be stopped, how not to stop Time, inexorably eating up the living memory of the war.
Mind games
I doubt, then I think; I think means I exist
René Descartes
The fewer living witnesses remain, the more new interpretations and all sorts of speculations are caused by the events of the middle of the twentieth century, which divided the life of an entire country into “before and after”. Who among us has not heard doubts and remarks about the existence of a victory in World War II as such in general? Yes, the main "wind of doubt" traditionally blows from the west, but in their own country there are many inquisitive minds who question the facts that have been put into them since childhood - by teachers, parents, films, books …

The desire to rethink familiar truths, to pass facts learned in school through the cutting board of your own brain is completely natural for people of a certain warehouse. This applies, first of all, to the statement of Descartes - to people for whom knowledge is a fundamental value in life. To those who are eager to personally establish the truth and are not able to be satisfied with someone else's truth - and therefore any truth received in the form of a finished product causes them rejection and a desire to figure it out for themselves. Find witnesses, look through documents, watch newsreels, get into closed archives, analyze the hidden meaning and find the "second bottom" in any generally known fact. I am now talking about the owners of the sound vector, who often form the first rows of doubters and beginners in discussions. They like to debate on the topic of war and its hypothetical consequences, “if everything happened differently”, and close-minded skin demagogues - just from such, for example, one can hear statements like “it was necessary to lose to Germany - now we would have good roads and the euro instead of rubles "… As they say, no comment. Holders of other vectors most often enter into such disputes (or rather, allow themselves to be involved) on an emotional wave - driven by righteous anger, for example, or a desire to defend their beliefs.

The truth is rarely born in such disputes. As you know, history does not tolerate the subjunctive mood. Yes, for an objective assessment of the historical significance of the Victory, it is necessary to consider the situation from different angles and from different points of view. But the main facts have long been proven and documented. And if you state them briefly and without emotion, then the history of the Second World War will fit in a couple of dry lines. For example, such: “The state ruled by the fascist government initiated the military seizure of a number of neighboring countries. The officially imposed Nazi ideology led to large-scale genocide, mass murder and abuse of representatives of other peoples and nations. The only country that was able to stop the military seizure of other countries and defeat the aggressor was the USSR."
Agreeing with these facts, even the most "unbelievers" and doubting seekers of truth confirm the meaning, and significance, and greatness of the holiday, known to all of us as Victory Day.
Love is stronger than death
The courage of the city is taken by
A. V. Suvorov
Do you think, dear reader, did anyone try to view WWII in the light of the SVP? Only recently, materials on this topic have begun to appear in the library of articles on SVP; globally, no one dealt with this issue. But it is the SVP that can provide the only true key to understanding the main riddle of that war. A riddle that has been haunted by unfriendly forces for seven decades, forcing them to distort the facts and toss fakes to “doubting minds”. How did it happen that the country of the Soviets, suddenly attacked, lacking advanced military equipment, “under the yoke of the personality cult,” and not having special military support from the outside, was able to emerge victorious from this lethal cauldron, from a seemingly hopeless trap? European political scientists are still trying to invent some new answers,tailored to their own conditioned worldview. And, as usual with deliberate demagoguery, these answers do not bring the Western world closer to the truth.
How did it happen that submachine gunner Alexander Matrosov, stepping over the instinct of self-preservation and thirst for life, natural for a 19-year-old boy, closed the embrasure of the machine-gun fortification with his chest, allowing his comrades to continue the attack at the cost of their lives? What was it - reckless heroism or a completely conscious self-sacrifice in the name of a common goal?
Pilot Nikolai Gastello, partisan Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, schoolboy Oleg Koshevoy, pioneer Marat Kazei - we walk along the streets named after them, not thinking about how and why they said goodbye to life when they were 34, 18, 16, 14 years old … Only a few dozen names of war heroes were assigned to the streets of Russian cities, and thousands and thousands of people performed feats during the war. Someone's names are carved in gold on granite, while someone else's will never be known …
How can you decide to give up the most precious thing a person has - life? Voluntarily? Forced? How?! Are there any reasons at all that can force an ordinary person to step into the darkness of the end of organic life at will? What are these reasons? Or maybe only people with special vectors are capable of this? Or are these reasons for each vector?
The only vector in which self-sacrifice is laid by nature itself - and above all, associated with the salvation of others - is the urethral vector. Yes, we met among Soviet fighters and urethral. Brave pilots, daring scouts, fearless commanders, brave infantrymen, courageous tankmen, reckless military correspondents … But urethralists in any human flock barely have 5%. And tens, hundreds of thousands laid their lives on the altar of the Great Victory!
Recently I came across a strange term used by one psychologist in relation to war heroes who sacrificed themselves. He called their exploits "deliberate suicide." Yes, according to Freud's theory, both suicide and self-sacrifice in the form of "voluntary death" are an inward-directed mortido. But putting an equal sign between them is fundamentally wrong. Suicide in 90% of cases is a logical decision of a devastated sound engineer, the last point in life that has no meaning or justification for him. In essence, it is giving up the world for oneself. Heroism, coupled with total self-sacrifice, is on the contrary - giving up oneself for the sake of peace. An act full of strong feelings, and committed in the name of life!
In the war, sound specialists, people with an anal vector, and skin pragmatists and, of course, people with a visual vector sacrificed themselves - all of them were united by a common goal, common pain, common trouble, common love. Someone - love for the family, for a woman, for children, someone - love for their parents, for their home, for friends and the yard familiar from childhood. And all together were united by the urethral-muscular mentality, which from childhood permeated all spheres of life of a Russian person, along with Soviet collectivism, in which the interests of the country, society, and the people were considered more important than private interests.
Those who are older probably remember how the gesture of the pioneer salute was deciphered - the "pioneer salute" - when a hand bent at the elbow with an outstretched palm rose obliquely above the head. A palm raised above his forehead meant that the public interests of the pioneer were higher than personal ones. And it was not just a formal symbol. As the war years showed, this was the main principle of life in war. One for all and all for one.
And so it was. The boys ascribed their age to volunteer for the active army. The commanders were covering up the young recruits. Skin-visual sisters threw themselves under heavy fire to save a bleeding unknown soldier. The pilots went to the ram, forgetting to eject. The soldiers, who were surrounded, detonated grenades, letting the enemy get closer. The partisans repeated the feat of Ivan Susanin. Yesterday's children went to torture and execution with their heads held high; with courage that many adults have never dreamed of …
Cities in the Great Patriotic War did not take courage. They were taken by an integral part of the Russian character, no matter what vectors it was built from; "The secret weapon of the Russians", which the Nazis did not know about, and which Western political scientists still cannot figure out. They were taken by the urethral-muscular return, unconditional sacrificial love for the family, for the team, for “their own”, for the place where he was born and became a Man, for the Motherland. Love that is stronger than death.
Great-grandchildren of war
This Victory Day, smelled of gunpowder, This is a holiday with gray hair on the temples …
From the song of the Great Patriotic War participant V. Kharitonov
Veterans, home front workers, children of war are a passing, disappearing generation. Today, there are almost no survivors of those who were on the front line, on the front line; those who did not close their eyes "at the open-hearth furnaces." Children of the war, who did not fight, but remember the bombings, cannon fires and alarming reports of the information bureau, have become quite old people. Children and grandchildren of veterans have grown up long ago and have reached middle age; many of them, like my mother, never saw their fathers selected by the war.
Today the relay race is in our hands, in the hands of our "great-grandchildren". We cannot live without gadgets, we hang out on the Internet for days, eat fast food on the run, make friends on social networks and like all kinds of nonsense there. But at the same time we daily walk along the streets of Gastello, Kosmodemyanskaya, Koshevoy, Talalikhin, Matrosov …
It is difficult for us to imagine ourselves in a war. There is no way to the past - well, perhaps, lucky as the heroes of the film "We are from the future." Horrified by the atrocities and war crimes of the Nazis, we admire the feats of our great-grandfathers, often thinking to ourselves "I couldn't (I couldn't)." But that particle of the Russian character, which led the USSR to victory in 1945, is also in us, in everyone who was born and raised in Russia, in everyone who watches and loves the films "Only old people go to battle from childhood", " The Ballad of a Soldier "," And the Dawns Here Are Quiet …"
Perhaps this particle is hidden so deep that we do not even know about it. But it is there. That is why Victory Day is not just an extra May day off for us, on which you can go for a barbecue. This is a real holiday, the biggest and dearest to the heart. A holiday with tears in our eyes, which truly unites us, so different. A holiday that puts us in line with our great-grandfathers, with ordinary people like us, who were born in the pre-war USSR and forced to become heroes when they were 34, 18, 16, 14 …
Since May 9, compatriots! Happy Victory Day!
