What does the saying "he who remembers the old, that eye out" mean? "and whoever forgets - both of them" The old will remember that eye over there.

Who will remember the old ..

Whoever remembers the old, that eye out. Keeping evil for past grievances is dearer to yourself: the character becomes smaller, the soul becomes thinner, health suffers. Instead of hiding bad thoughts about long-standing humiliations, slaps, betrayals, you need to try to forgive and forget them, because we are all not without sin

To forgive means not just to say: I forgive, but to remove annoyance from the heart, an unkind feeling against the offender (Leo Tolstoy)

But this proverb has a continuation "... and whoever forgets - both eyes out!", Which contradicts its first part. And go and figure out which half to choose as a life credo. Apparently it all depends on the circumstances. The Anglo-Saxons also think so: “Dwell on the past and you may lose an eye; forget the past and you will lose both eyes "(remember the past - lose an eye; forget the past - lose both eyes)

Who takes revenge, sometimes regrets the perfect; one who forgives never regrets it(Alexandr Duma)

61 years ago in Lausanne, Switzerland, the ex-president of Finland and the ex-commander-in-chief of its army, marshal of Finland, field marshal, lieutenant general of the Russian army of the times of the Provisional Government, died Carl Gustav Emil Mannerheim . Not to say that suddenly - at the age of 84.

In memory of this figure in St. Petersburg on Shpalernaya Street there is a whole hotel called "Marshal", in which, as I understood from the presentation of the hotel, two busts already coexist Mannerheim and a museum exhibition dedicated to him was opened.

At the opening of the “left” bust, timed to coincide with the 140th anniversary of the marshal’s birth (which the civilized world celebrated on June 14, 2007), where the future marshal is depicted at the time of his cavalry guard youth, spent just in St. Petersburg, there was even an armed guard of honor from servicemen of the Russian Army.

You can hear everything about the marshal. They agree to the point that he almost saved Leningrad during the war, they say, and the Finnish cannons did not shoot at the city, and the Finns did not cross the old border. And what, I wonder, was the Finnish army doing on the northern approaches to the city? Did you let convoys with humanitarian aid from the Commander-in-Chief Marshal Mannerheim, who was nostalgic for the city of his youth, into the besieged city, and in between performed national Finnish songs and dances for those surrounded?

Maybe the Finns did not shoot at Leningrad. But they fired at the city and barbarously bombed it, their allies, the Germans - from the positions and airfields kindly provided by the Finns. Well, they mined the Gulf of Finland a little along with the Nazis - a couple of days before the start of the war. German bombs and shells were enough to turn life in the city into hell. And the Finns - in order not to let food into the city. Hell is hot and hungry at the same time - the Germans with their allied Finnish troops, who closed the blockade of the city from the north, took care of this with their usual diligence. Those who survived this hell are still alive.

The Fuhrer made a special trip to Finland in the summer of 1942 to congratulate his colleague on his 75th birthday.

Found a few illustrative photos on the Internet. Three moments of a great war. Here is a Soviet sailor captured by the Finns on Hanko.

The photo from the Finnish archive is signed: “Suomalaiset upseerit keskustelivat venalaisdesantin kanssa Hangon lohkolla 17.7.1941. Desantti nauroi viimeiselle toivomukselleen. (Finnish officers tried to interrogate a Russian paratrooper captured on July 17, 1941. The paratrooper only laughed in response.)

Here the Finnish gentlemen-officers are talking with the prisoner.

The source says: "The text on the reverse notes that the Russian is laughing at his "last request""

But Finnish servicemen are solving the Russian question. Not otherwise, without the knowledge of his commander in chief.

I immediately remembered another photo series, which we owe to an unknown German military photographer. A few more moments of the war, recorded relatively close, on the Kola Peninsula.
