7.8. Russian character Once a writer came to New York from Russia and took part in one of the many programs on the local television. Of course, the host asked him about the mysterious Russian soul and Russian character. The writer illustrated this as follows.

Unfortunately, most people don't know how to use it. Sculpts it through every word. What do I suggest. I propose to get acquainted with the work of many classics who used ridiculous verbs in their works.

You have heard and read many of them. Personally, I read it again with pleasure, and rediscovered something for myself.

Perhaps I'm not the only one who will be interested.

There are a lot of myths around Russian mats that do not correspond to reality. For example, Russian linguists and historians spread two myths about swearing: that Russians began to swear in response to the "Tatar-Mongol yoke" and that swearing was supposedly "a product of Slavic paganism."

Our ancestors divided some words into:
1. Abusive words are words from the mother, ie. her gospel!
2. Swear words are words used on the battlefield to intimidate the enemy!
3. Foul language is the worst thing that shouldn't be said!
All these points were reduced by the enemies of our Race to one and now mean the same thing, that is, bad words!

A lot has been written about the dangers of mat. I read an article by one writer a long time ago, but I don't remember his last name. He fell upon the mat with noble anger. Long and convincingly he proved how disgusting and disgusting it was. In conclusion, he gave the only known case of the usefulness of the mate.

I will retell this case too. There is a freight train, but they are carrying people. I don't remember why, but there was a man on the other side of the car. He is holding on with his last strength. It is about to break loose and die. The men in the carriage try to open the door and drag him in. But the door is jammed and it won't budge. The men are already exhausted and mentally have already come to terms with the loss, but they continue to tinker. And then the unexpected happened.

A modest, quiet little girl will shout: “Oh, you guys, fuck you! Anu started! " And a miracle happened. Wild power was revealed in the men. Muscles tensed in a single impulse, the door flew off, and the man was saved. Then they asked the girl, how did she decide to say that. But she blushed, looked down and, out of shame, could not utter a word.

Here the author got to the point, without knowing it. The bottom line is that the mate is designed for exceptional cases. In Russia, swear words are also called swear words. Here you are standing on the battlefield, wounded, exhausted and, staggering, leaning on your sword. And the enemies are at you. For them and even for you, the outcome of the meeting is obvious. But you raise your head, look at them with a long look and say: "Come on, b-di, so you are overwhelmed, overwhelmed !!" And a miracle happens. Wild power is revealed in you. And your sword whistled like the blades of a helicopter, and the heads of your enemies rolled with an amazed expression on their faces. Then you yourself are surprised. That's what a mat is, that's why it's needed.

Our ancestors perfectly knew and understood the power of the mate. They carried him for centuries, maybe millennia, and they were not fools. Mate is just needed in emergency, critical situations. The prohibition creates a reserve of energy, like a battery, more precisely, like a capacitor. Because the battery releases energy slowly, and the capacitor discharges instantly. This surge of energy works wonders. Any people, nation and even tribe have forbidden words, words which are taboo. This is a common property of people, more precisely, a property of a community of people. Fighting this property is as stupid as creating a new person. Why is Russian swearing so developed? Because our history is difficult. Who knows, maybe thanks to the mate, they survived and survived as a people.

Here they propose to introduce obscene words into ordinary use to combat obscenities, to stop considering them obscene. And that will be? Here's what. You stand on the battlefield, wounded, exhausted, and staggeringly lean on your sword. And the enemies are at you. For them and even for you, the outcome of the meeting is obvious. But you raise your head, look at them with a long glance and say: “Come on, b-di, so you are overturned. And then another step. " A miracle does not happen. There is no more energy in these words. These words sound like: the weather has turned bad. You have no hidden reserve. And they take you warm and rape your wife in front of your eyes, and take your children into slavery. Reducing obscene words to ordinary ones discharges the people, makes them lethargic and flabby.

MYTHS AND TRUTH ABOUT THE RUSSIAN MAT

There are a lot of myths around Russian mats that do not correspond to reality. For example, Russian linguists and historians spread two myths about swearing: that Russians began to swear in response to the "Tatar-Mongol yoke" and that swearing was supposedly "a product of Slavic paganism."

In fact, the Slavs never swore. Including among the Belarusians and Ukrainians, as well as among the Poles, before the Russian occupation of 1795, the most nasty curses were only “curva” (a corrupt girl) and “cholera” (a disease). Neither Kievan Rus, nor the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, nor the Rzeczpospolita have preserved a single document with obscenities and not a single order of the authorities on the fight against swearing, although in Muscovy there are such documents in huge excess.

If it were not for the Russian occupation, the Belarusians (Lithuanians), Ukrainians and Poles would not use foul language today. Today, however, Poles still hardly use foul language, and Slovaks and Czechs do not use foul language at all.

And this is quite normal, because the majority of the peoples of the world do not know mats - just as the Slavs, Balts, Romans, Germans did not know them. Their sexual vocabulary is extremely scarce (in comparison with Russian), and many languages \u200b\u200bgenerally do not use sexual themes when using foul language. For example, the French "con" conveys with different articles the name of both the male and the female genital organ, and the limit of foul language by the French is simply to name the opponent with this word. And only in English and only at the beginning of the twentieth century, and only in the United States, did the curse word "mother fucker" appear, which has no analogue in Europe, and which was a copy of Russian obscenities - it was introduced into the US language by emigrants from Russia (see. V. Butler "The Origin of Jargon in the USA", 1981, New York).

Thus, swearing is not at all a "product of Slavic paganism", for the pagan Slavs did not swear.

A myth is also the judgment that "in ancient Russia they used foul language." In Kievan Rus, no one swore - swearing only in Muscovy, but she was not just Rus.

Historians find the first mention of the strange habit of Muscovites to use foul language in 1480, when Prince Vasily III, along with Prohibition, demanded that Muscovites stop swearing. Then Ivan the Terrible ordered "to click on the auction" so that the Muscovites "would not swear at each other and would not reproach each other with all sorts of obscene speeches."

Then the German traveler Olearius, who came to Muscovy, noted with sorrow the widespread prevalence of swearing: "Small children, who still cannot name either God, or their mother, or their father, already have obscene words on their lips."
In 1648, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich conceived the idea of \u200b\u200b"exterminating the infection" and gave a royal decree so that "they would not sing the song of demons, do not swear at any obscene barking ... Christian law for the frenzy of being from Us in great disgrace and in cruel punishment. "

Moscow priest Yakov Krotov notes:

“Throughout both the 17th and most of the 18th century, Muscovy was calm about just swearing. A simple example: near the Savinno-Storozhevsky Zvenigorod Monastery, located three kilometers from Zvenigorod, a trickle flows, and in all scribal books, starting from the end of the 16th century, when the first was compiled, the scribes recorded the name of this stream, flowing through the land, which belonged to the monastery. The first letter was "p", the second half ended in "ohm". Who went here to wash themselves from Zvenigorod, several kilometers away? Not quite clear. But, one way or another, at the end of the 18th century, when a general survey of Russia is carried out, a complete map of the Russian Empire is being drawn up, by the decree of Catherine the Great, all names that contain obscene vocabulary, obscene roots are replaced with more euphonious ones. Since then, this Zvenigorod stream has also been renamed. "

Until now, thousands of toponyms and hydronyms, created on the basis of obscene words, existed on the maps of Muscovy-Russia.

There was nothing of the kind at that time neither in Belarus-Lithuania, nor in Rus-Ukraine then - there the people did not know mats.

This circumstance could seem to be explained by the fact that Belarusians and Ukrainians have never been under the Horde, and Muscovites lived in the Horde for three hundred years, and then seized power in it, annexing the Horde to Muscovy. After all, earlier Soviet historians believed that the obscenities of the Muscovites were allegedly their answer to the "Tatar-Mongol yoke".

For example, Vladimir Kantor, a fiction writer and member of the editorial board of the Russian journal Voprosy Filosofii, recently wrote:

“But in Russia, during the time of the Tatars, the word" eble "appears, which is a derivative to us, the Russian people, of course, is associated with the reproach of the mother and so on, in Turkic it meant simply to marry. The Tatar, capturing the girl, said that he "eble" her, that is, he took her. But for any Russian commoner, whose daughter, wife, sister was taken from him, he committed violence against a woman, and as a result, this word acquired absolutely the character of rape. What are obscene words? This is the language of the raped, that is, that lower stratum who feels themselves all the time outside the zone of action of high culture and civilization, humiliated, insulted, raped. And like any raped slave, he is ready to use this violence against his partner, and if it works out, of course, against the noble one.

At first glance, the version seems to be foldable. However, it is wrong.

Firstly, the present Tatars of Kazan (then the Bulgars) “languished from the Tatar yoke” in exactly the same way (for Kazan was equally a vassal of the Tatars, like Moscow), but for some reason they did not give birth to any obscenities to the world.

Secondly, the Tatars of the Horde were not Turks, but a mixture of Turkic and Finno-Ugric tribes. For this reason, they annexed the Finns of Suzdal-Muscovy to the Horde of the Finns of Suzdal-Muscovy (Mordovians, Moksha, Erzya, Murom, Merya, Chud, Meschera, Perm) and sought to unite all the Finno-Ugric peoples that left the Volga for Europe, including those who reached Hungary, the people which they considered "theirs by right".

Thirdly, there was no "Tatar yoke". Moscow paid the Tatars only a tax (half of which it left itself for the labor of collecting it - on which it rose) and put up its Moscow army for service in the army of the Horde. There has never been such a thing that the Tatars took the girls of Muscovy as wives - these are modern inventions. They were captured as slaves during wars, but in exactly the same way the Slavs were captured by the Muscovites themselves by hundreds of thousands (for example, 300 thousand Belarusians were captured by the Muscovites in the war of 1654-1657). But a slave is not a wife.

Generally speaking, this whole version of Vladimir Kantor was "sucked" from the thumb only on two dubious grounds: the presence of the word "eble" (to marry) in the Turkic language and the myth about the notorious "Tatar yoke". This is very little, especially since other main obscene words of the Russian language remain without explanation. How were they formed?

Although I should note that this hypothesis of Kantor is already a breakthrough in the topic, because earlier Soviet historians generally wrote that Muscovites simply adopted mats from the Tatar-Mongols, they say, they taught Muscovites to swear. However, neither the Turkic language nor the Mongolian language has any obscenities.

So there are two serious circumstances that completely refute Cantor's hypothesis about the origin of one of the Russian mats from the Turkic word "eble" (to marry).

1. Excavations of Academician Valentin Yanin in Novgorod led in 2006 to the discovery of birch bark letters with mats. They are much older than the arrival of the Tatars in the Suzdal principality. What makes a FAT CROSS on the general attempt of historians to link the obscenities of the Muscovites with the Tatar language (Turkic).

Moreover, these mats on birch bark letters of Novgorod are adjacent to elements of Finnish vocabulary - that is, the people who wrote them were not Slavs (the colonists encouraged Rurik, who sailed from Labe and built Novgorod here), but the local semi-Slavic colonists of Rurik by the Finns (or Sami, or chudyu, whole, muroma).

2. There is another people in Europe, besides the Muscovites, who have been swearing for a thousand years - and BY THE SAME RUSSIAN MATS.

They are Hungarians.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF RUSSIAN MATS

For the first time, Russian historians learned about Hungarian mats quite recently - and were extremely surprised: after all, Hungarians are not Slavs, but Finno-Ugrians. And they were not under any "Tatar-Mongol yoke", for they left the Volga for Central Europe centuries before the birth of Genghis Khan and Batu. For example, the Moscow researcher of the topic, Evgeny Petrenko, is extremely discouraged by this fact and admits in one of his publications that "this completely confuses the question of the origin of Russian obscenities."

In fact, this does not confuse the question, but just gives a complete answer.

Hungarians have been using mats, absolutely similar to those of Muscovy, since the very time they came to Europe from the Volga.

It is clear that Kantor's hypothesis about the origin of one of the Russian mats from the Türkic word "eble" (to marry) is in no way applicable to the Hungarians, because the Türks did not force their girls to marry. And there are no Turks around the Hungarians in Central Europe.

Yevgeny Petrenko notes that the Serbian obscene expression "fucking pichku" appeared historically recently - only 250 years ago, and was adopted by the Serbs from the Hungarians during the period when Serbia came from the Turkish yoke under the rule of Austria-Hungary under Empress Maria Teresa. The Hungarian chronicles of the Middle Ages are full of such obscenities that nowhere else and no one around (Slavs, Austrians, Germans, Italians, etc., including Turks) did not exist. The Serbs were then carried by the Hungarian colonial administration, the Hungarian army and the Hungarian aristocracy.

Why are the mats of the Hungarians absolutely identical to those of the Muscovites?

There can be only one answer: THIS IS FINNO-UGORSKY MATS.

Let me remind you that Hungarians, Estonians, Finns and Russians are one and the same Finnish ethnic group. The Russians, however, were partly Slavicized by the Kiev priests, who implanted Orthodoxy among them. But the studies of the gene pool of the Russian nation, conducted in 2000-2006 by the Russian Academy of Sciences (which we talked about in detail earlier), showed that Russians are absolutely identical in genes to the Finnish ethnos: Mordovians, Komi, Estonians, Finns and Hungarians.

Which should not be surprising, because all of Central Russia (historical Muscovy) is the land of Finnish peoples, and all its toponyms are Finnish: Moscow (Moksha people), Ryazan (Erzya people), Murom (Murom people), Perm (Perm people) etc.

The only "blank spot" is the question of the ancient presence of mats in Estonia and Finland. Judging by the fact that Novgorod's birch bark letters with mats could most likely have been written by the Sami (and not Chudyu or Muroma), who also inhabited Estonia and Finland, mats should have been used by Estonians and Finns since ancient times. This nuance needs clarification.

On the other hand, in the Finno-Ugric ethnic groups, the mats could give birth to the Ugrians. That is, the Hungarians and the peoples remaining to live in the lands of the future Muscovy are related to them. The Ugric group of languages \u200b\u200btoday includes only Hungarian and the Ob-Ugric Khanty and Mansi languages. In the past, this group was much more powerful, including, presumably, included the people of the Pechenegs, who left with the Hungarians to Central Europe and along the way settled widely over the Crimea and in the Don steppes (they were allegedly exterminated by the Tatars). In Muscovy itself, the main ethnos was the Mordovian ethnos Moksha (Moxel in his language), which gave the name to the Moksva River (Moks Moksha + Va water), changed in the Kiev language to the more harmonious "Moscow" for the Slavs. And the Erzya ethnos (with the capital Erzya and the state of Great Erzya, later changed to Ryazan). In the Permian group of Komi and Udmurts, the state of Great Perm was distinguished. All this is the historical territory of the primordial spread of mats.

Thus, the very term "Russian mats" is absurd. For they are not Russian at all (in the understanding of Rus as the Kievan State), but Finnish. Remaining in the language of the native Finnish population of Muscovy as subjects of their pre-Slavic language.

ESSENCE OF MATS

What is the essence of Russian mats?

It is clear that Russian researchers of the issue have always been confused by the fact that the Russians have mats, while the Slavs and other Indo-Europeans do not have them at all. Therefore, in this issue, Russians have always, under the cover of a kind of "inferiority complex", instead of scientific consideration, tried to justify themselves or "make amends." They tried to drag the Slavs into swearing - they say, this is Slavic paganism. But it did not work out - for the Slavs never swore, and the Russians are not Slavs. They tried to show that Russian mats were invented for a reason, but in response to the yoke of the Tatars. And it did not work: the Hungarians have exactly the same mates, but they did not have any "Tatar yoke".

For the sake of fairness, it should be said that Russians are a truly unfortunate people of the former Finnish ethnic groups, whose fate over the past thousand years is simply terrible.

At first, it was conquered as their slaves by the younger princes of Kiev, who simply did not get their principalities in Russia. Since there were no Slavs born here in the future Muscovy, the princes and their squads treated the local Finnish population as slaves. It was the Kiev princes who introduced serfdom (that is, slaveholding) in Muscovy, which was wild in Kiev in relation to the peasants of their ethnic group. Let me remind you that there was no serfdom either in Ukraine or in Belarus-Lithuania before the Russian occupation of 1795, and besides Muscovy, serfdom existed in Europe only in one place - in Prussia, where the Germans made the local Prussians-foreigners slaves in exactly the same way and local Slavs.

Then these Finnish lands enslaved by Kievan Rus fell under the rule of the Horde of the Trans-Volga Tatars, whose capital was located near present-day Volgograd. They created the Empire of the Turks and Finno-Ugrians, so mentally the Suzdal lands were drawn to the Horde, and not to the Indo-European Rus of Kiev and Lithuania-Belarus of the ON (the country of the Western Balts). Moreover, the princely elite of the lands of the future Muscovy found in the Horde a very successful justification for their slaveholding power over the local Finnish population: the eastern traditions elevated the rulers to the rank of God, which was never seen by Europeans, including Byzantium and the Russian Orthodox Church of Kiev, which baptized Rus.

These two main reasons forever alienated Muscovy from Russia and Kiev, created a new eastern type of state - full satrapy.

Therefore, the Finno-Rus (Muscovites) had every reason to use foul language: they lived freely only in their national Finnish states (from which only Finnish place names remained) until the arrival of the Kiev enslavers. And then came a thousand years of complete slavery: first slavery as part of Kievan Rus, then the same slavery, but already when the Tatar enslavers were still sitting on top of the Kiev enslavers, and then the enslavers began to be called "Moscow Sovereigns". Until 1864 (the abolition of serfdom), the people remained in a state of enslaved natives, that is, slaves, and the aristocracy despised them with the same degree of contempt as the British and French despised the African blacks they conquered in the 19th century.

Yes, from such a thousand-year oppression of Kievan Rus, the Horde and then Muscovy-Russia, there is enough hatred in the Finnish people in abundance to give birth to obscenities - like the native slang of foul language against the oppressors.

But ... We see that these mats existed among the Finno-Ugrians even before they were enslaved by neighbors from the West and the East. And they exist among the Hungarians, who very successfully fled from the Volga to Europe, avoiding the fate of their fellow tribesmen.

This means that the mats of the Finno-Ugric peoples did not arise at all as a response to the enslavers, but as something of their own, purely primordial and without any external influence. For the Finno-Ugric people ALWAYS swore.

Some researchers express this point of view: mats are part of a certain mystical culture, in a series of conspiracies or curses. Including some (A. Filippov, S. Drozd) find that a number of obscene curses in essence mean not something offensive, but a wish for death. For example, departure to "p ...", as they write, means the desire to go back to where he was born, that is, to leave life again into nothingness.

Is it so? I doubt it.

Did the Finno-Ugrians in the past, in the era of the birth of mates, have such a mystical culture in which the sexual themes of swearing would be used? I personally find it hard to imagine. Yes, sexual themes are present in all ancient peoples - but as symbols of fertility. And in our case we are talking about something completely different. And there is simply no "mystical culture" or "pagan cults" here.

It seems to me that the Moscow priest Yakov Krotov finds the most correct gist of obscenities:

“One of the modern Orthodox publicists, Hegumen Veniamin Novik, published several articles against foul language, against swearing. In these articles, he emphasizes that swearing is associated with materialism. There is a kind of play with words, with diamat. “Why detente, and swearing, foul language, this is often justified as emotional release, should take place,” writes Abbot Benjamin, “at the expense of other people?” The swearing man certainly needs someone to hear him. Swearing is above all a symptom Biologists know that in the animal kingdom there is a pronounced connection between aggressiveness and sexuality, and some "especially gifted" (Abbot Benjamin writes sarcastically) individuals use their genitals to intimidate the enemy. And some equally gifted representatives of the Homo sapiens family do this the same verbally. Exhibitionists are just more consistent. " This is a refutation of foul language and a rebuff from the standpoint of a modern, well-educated person. "

Exactly.

The Indo-Europeans did not swear, because their praethnos was formed as a more progressive and excluding monkey habits in communication "to use their genitals to intimidate the enemy." But the praethnos of the Finno-Ugrians, who are not Indo-Europeans, was formed in a different way - and used monkey habits.

That's the whole difference: Russians and Hungarians swear because they are not Indo-Europeans. And because their ancestors developed differently than the Indo-Europeans - in a completely different cultural environment.

Moreover, the use of mats in communication necessarily means in retrospect that in the distant past the ancestors of the Russians and Hungarians used these mats as an illustration of ACTs - that is, the Finno-Ugrians used to show the genitals to the opponent as a SIGN of INSURANCE. And various other obscene ACTIONS.

Seems wild? But this is no greater savagery than the very fact of almost FULL approval of obscenities in Russia, primarily by cultural figures. For example, how to relate to such statements: GALINA ZHEVNOVA, editor-in-chief of the combined editorial board of "Gubernskie Izvestia" shares with the readers: “I have a positive attitude to obscenities. The Russian person has two ways of letting off steam. The first is vodka, the second is mat. Let it be better mate. "

Why, then, do other peoples not have "methods of letting off steam" only in the form of vodka and mat? And why is mat "better" than vodka?

WHY MAT IS BETTER VODKA?

In Russia they do not understand that swearing destroys the foundations of the Society. Mate, being the animal behavior of "using your genitals to intimidate the enemy," is already antisocial. But after all, swearing has evolved compared to animals: the very name "mate" means an insult to the opponent's mother in sexual violence by the speaker. What animals don't have.

For the Finno-Ugrians (Russians and Hungarians), this may be their own normal local traditional form of communication. But for Indo-Europeans this is unacceptable.

Each of us was a child and knows that any nastiness easily penetrates into children's brains. So the mats of the Hungarians and Russians were introduced in Europe not through our adult Europeans, but through children who came into contact with children of these peoples who spoke obscenely. This fact alone shows that swearing goes into the minds of people through the corruption of our children and, in fact, differs little from child pornography or child seduction.

Let there in Russia always talked with obscenities. But why should we be like them? Our ancestors did not know these foreign obscenities.

It is very bad when the sexual education of children begins with their knowledge of mats and their meaning. This is exactly what happened to me: teenagers taught me mats and explained their meaning - they were the pioneers for me of the mysteries of the relationship between a man and a woman - through mats.

This is normal? This is completely abnormal.

Therefore, the opinion of the editor of a Russian newspaper that mats are better than vodka seems completely erroneous. Our children do not drink vodka at the age of 10, but learn mats. What for?

Russian publicists say with pride and joy that Russian obscenities completely replace any transmission of thoughts and concepts. Olga Kvirkvelia, head of the Russian educational Christian center "Faith and Thought", a Catholic, in the program Radio Liberty in February 2002 said about mate: “In principle, mate is like a good mate, real, not the street one we hear today, it is just a sacred language that can really tell absolutely everything. I got carried away with obscenities when I accidentally heard in the Novgorod region, in a village, how my grandmother explained to my grandfather how to plant cucumbers. There were no obscene pretexts, it is understandable perfect. She did not swear, she very kindly, very friendly explained how to plant cucumbers correctly. This is a language that, unfortunately, we have practically lost and turned into something vulgar, disgusting, vile and bad. In fact, this is not the case. And this reflects very deep layers of consciousness. "

I'm shocked. Why can't a grandmother talk normally about planting cucumbers with normal human terms, but replaces them all with sexual terms? Olga Kvirkvelia sees this in a “sacred language”. What is “sacred” in him, besides the animal display of his genitals?

She also says that "This is a language that, unfortunately, we have practically lost." It turns out that the Finno-Ugric language of Russians and Hungarians is the language of complete obscenities, where all concepts are replaced by them?

Unfortunately, everything bad and nasty tends to spread around like a disease. So Russia brought its obscenities to the contiguous conquered peoples of Belarusians, Ukrainians, Balts, Caucasians, peoples of Central Asia, who speak their own language, but insert Finnish obscenities through the word. So the Finnish "sacred words" became the everyday vocabulary of distant Uzbeks. Moreover, they began to swear in the USA - already in English, and it is quite normal in the film "Police Academy" to see a plot, the action of which unfolds for a long time against the background of an inscription in Russian written on a telephone booth of the familiar three letters "x .." Who wrote it there? Yankees?

But there is no such thing anywhere else in the world: to write mats on the walls. And even Vysotsky noticed: there are inscriptions in Russian in public French toilets. To write a mat on the wall is equal to the animal behavior of showing the genitals. This is what the "sacred" eastern neighbors do, like monkeys. This is the exhibitionism of the eastern neighbor.

Is this the norm of behavior for us, Europeans, including Belarusians and Ukrainians? Of course not, because we simply cannot express anything sacred, that is, sacred, because our ancestors did not know mat. These mats are alien and alien to us.

Our European languages \u200b\u200bhave enough means to express any concepts without obscenities, just as there are no obscenities in the works of Lev Tolstov. He did not use the "sacred language", but created literary masterpieces of world culture and the Russian language. Which already means that the Russian language will not lose anything without these obscenities. But it will only get rich
