In 1996, within the walls of the State Duma, on the initiative of a group of the first KOBA propagandists, primarily thanks to the efforts of Captain 2nd Rank Ivanov M.N., a permanent weekly seminar was organized to develop " national idea". By default, it was supposed to "sneak peek" into the minds of KOBa, since the seminar attracted leaders and activists of the largest various organizations, primarily "nationally oriented". At that time, there were very few of us, adherents of KOBA.
The seminar began with the presentation of the main provisions of the COBA to the audience. At subsequent weekly meetings, all participants inevitably drifted towards the need to decide what “nationality” is, and most importantly, how to define it and who can do it.
The main speaker at this meeting was E. Limonov. He very vividly and emotionally stated something empty about the role of Russians, Russianness, without giving any definitions. All the "depth" of his thought was in the "voice of blood." Edik could not answer the tricky question about who would conduct a blood test and make a diagnosis, what nationality doctors would do it. I remember this meeting with the question that, after the report, Colonel of the Reserve Vartanyan asked Limonov (I, unfortunately, forgot his name and patronymic). This taut, white-haired gray-haired man with elements of a "Caucasian appearance" asked Limonov the following question: “Edik, I was born in 1941 in Moscow. My mother is Russian. Father - an Armenian who volunteered for the front in the winter of 1941 and died near Moscow. I did not see my father alive - I saw only in photographs. Armenian language I don't know at all. I have never been to Armenia. Grew up in Moscow. He served in different regions of the USSR. My native language- Russian. And in appearance, many believe that I come from the Caucasus. Edik, please tell me who I am, what nationality?.
After a little hesitation, Edik answered in the sense that with Vartanyan "they'll sort it out".
As you can see, dear readers, from the practice of today, the issue of determining nationality is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. And indeed, you will not find a clear and understandable methodology or instructions anywhere for determining the nationality of a person. Moreover, in Russia, the democratizers removed the nationality column from the passport.
So how do you define a person's nationality and who can do it?
The theoretical platform of the KPI, based on KObe, clearly states:
1. Nationality- belonging to a historically real nation, not a chimerical one.
2. The nationality of a person is real defined by society, based on the recognition (or denial) of the national human self-determination. That is:
– first the man himself must determine which nation he considers himself to be (especially children in mixed marriages),
– then society must recognize it as such (or not recognize it), which depends on a person's behavior in life, his psyche, morality, habits, etc., etc.
3. Public definition of nationality:
– above the law(may or may not recognize both the personal self-determination of a person of his nationality, and the “legally” established nationality of a person),
– incorruptibly(since this is carried out by the vast majority of people who from generation to generation live in their national culture and do not doubt either their nationality or the geographical location of their homeland).
From this, it can now be seen that here in Russia:
- "blood" non-Jews who have become Zionized and live according to the ideals of Zionist internationalism, society produces to the Jews
- "blood" Jews who are free from Zionist malevolence, society by its majority perceives as Russians, Ukrainians and representatives of other non-chimerical peoples.
From all of the above, it follows that with his definition of the nation-gang, T. Herzl confirmed the primacy of the public definition of the national identity of a person in essence over his personal identity.
Conflict national relations is not determined from Above, is not taken from Nature. Conflict generated by the satanic plan of life"divide and rule".
Here I was also asked at meetings about What should the Jews do in this situation?. The answer is given just above. And it applies not only to Jews, but also to everyone who has "troubles" with nationality. You have to define yourself. As for the so-called. “Jews by blood”, then can we consider Khazar Jews, who, as is known from history, converted to Judaism, i.e. religion? Is it possible after that to consider the heirs of the Khazars as "blood Jews"? Those "blood Jews" of antiquity in our modern world have long been gone. They were destroyed by the Romans. Read Josephus Flavius "Jewish War". So the basis of modern Jewry is not “blood ties”, and not the culture of the ancient Jews, but Judaism is the basis. And this is nothing more than religion and the culture carried by it, primarily a worldview. So now let everyone who considers himself a Jew, let him decide: is he a Jew or not? And by such a formulation of the question, all Jews are given freedom of choice!
Nationality is a person's belonging to a particular nation. Genetics should determine it, because human DNA is very interesting thing, not always external signs make it possible to accurately determine to which nation a person belongs. But outwardly, you can also determine nationality. This is determined by the following features:
1) skin color;
2) eye section;
3) the shape of the nose;
4) figure;
5) the structure and color of the hair.
For example. by these signs we can easily distinguish an Ethiopian from an Asiatic. Well, what is possible in the genus of each of the bottom were Russians, only genetics can establish.
In order to answer this question as accurately as possible, some literature should be consulted. But I also have to point out that the answer will be purely subjective and many people may not agree with this opinion.
What is nationality
Nationality - the definition of a person to any ethnic group. At the moment, most countries are multinational, that is, they do not have a specific nation in the country. The most multinational countries include:
- Russia;
- Switzerland;
- India;
- Philippines;
- African countries.
In the Constitution Russian Federation It is written that Russia is a secular state, in which power is exercised by a multinational people. It follows from this that all citizens of the country, regardless of nationality, have the same rights.
Who should determine nationality
Each person accepts his nationality independently and no one can force him to call himself one or another nationality. At the moment, the indication of nationality in the passport is optional. But in the USSR passport, each person was required to indicate their nationality, which confused people who were of a different nationality than most people.
How is nationality determined?
Since in the Russian Federation each person determines his own nationality, there are no special signs. Although not so long ago Nazi Germany came up with a special device that separated true Germans from the Jews, but only this device had a very strong error, and along with the Jews, the Germans also separated. If a person voluntarily wants to determine his nationality, now there is a DNA analysis that will show what nationality you are.
In conclusion, I can say that the division of people should be carried out according to talents and skills, but not according to nationality. Therefore, if you know a person who despises this or that nationality - a skinhead, then immediately contact the police. Because he violates the basic law of the Russian Federation - the constitution and breaks public order.
IN modern world the question is quite acute: "Nationality is a political, social or biological concept?" Before talking about nationality, you should get acquainted with the accompanying terms.
People. Ethnos. Nation
A people is a "new race", a "born race" of people united by one common territory, is a fundamental concept in our topic. From the definition it is clear that this is an exclusively biological term - people who are closely related.
An ethnos is a people, that is, over time, a group of people formed from close peoples who have one language (relate to one and common origin, roots, but not geographically related.
A nation is a people with its own common history development, culture and customs. If one nation creates its own, it will be called a nation. So it's already more aggressive, political concept. A nation may include several closely related national groups.
Nationality is...
Nationality refers to any nation on biological grounds. It has no connection with a country or a specific territory. For example, Germans, Kazakhs or Englishmen who live permanently in Russia - their nationality remains the same with a change of place of residence, state. Without nationality (characteristic of kinship between people) there will be no development of the people, it will not become a nation.
Now almost all states are multinational, although there are also separate national republics.
It is important not to confuse citizenship and nationality. The first concept is social, which means the society of which country an individual belongs to. The second, as can be seen from the definition, is biological and shows who a person is by birth, origin.
Although in some countries the word "nationality" is still a definition of the nationality of an individual.
Folk nationality
The people is the smallest unit in today's discussion, you can literally take this word as a clan, a family. In the course of their development, families (tribes) grew, divided, and united with their neighbors. But since they had common roots, and life passed in interaction with each other, territorial proximity, then gradually formed common, similar features, so strong genetically that they were (are) transmitted to descendants regardless of time and distance - the nationality of peoples or nationality.
So, if you look at the Germans, for example: non-Jesa-Saxon Germans, Franconians, Saxons, Swabians, Bavarians - that's how many sub-ethnoi (peoples) belong to one nationality of people.
The Russians have about thirty throughout Russia and beyond. And there are only two dialects - North Russian (Okaya) and South Russian (Akaya).
How to determine nationality
It would seem, what is easier. He lives in Germany, dad is German, mom is German, he is also German! But the path of mankind on Earth is already quite long. Everything is mixed up - peoples, ethnic groups, nations ... It is very difficult to determine a person's belonging to a particular nationality. Especially when dad has Poles and Jews in his family, and mom has Spaniards and Finns, and everyone lives in Australia.
There are still several ways:
- The child receives nationality from the father. The father is from his father, and thus a fairly clear family (national) line is built. This happens almost all over the world, except for a few nations. Among the Jews, for example, the child assumes the nationality of the mother.
- Some folk groups there are very bright, similar external signs. Body structure or character traits. On such grounds, a person is classified as a particular nationality.
- People who do not have the opportunity to know the nationality of their ancestors (orphans, for example), take or accept in the process of education, growing up the features of that national group with which they interact the most ( adoptive parents or orphanage workers).
- The most basic way has two interrelated processes of definition - subjective and objective. The first is what nationality a person refers to: what traditions he observes, what features of appearance and character he has, what language he is a native speaker. The second is how his relatives perceive him. That is, whether people of the chosen national group identify this person with themselves. Thus, nationality is a personal consciousness and surrounding agreement that a person belongs (is related) to some group of people (peoples, ethnic groups).
With each year of his life, a person expands the choice of communication more and more, getting to know new people. In order for a new acquaintance to make contact with you, you need to make a pleasant impression on him. To avoid uncomfortable situations, it is important to know what nationality the person in front of you is in order to behave in accordance with the moral and ethical standards of his country. Most surnames can be unmistakably identified nationality your friends, neighbors, business partners, etc.

As you can see, in order to determine the nationality of a person, it is enough to accurately analyze his last name, highlighting the suffix and ending.
WHAT DO THE SURNAME ON "-IN" MEAN? SURNAMES ENDING IN -IN HAVE RUSSIAN ROOT OR JEWISH?
In the collection of the famous Slavist linguist B. O Unbegaun “Russian Surnames”, one can read that surnames with “in” are mainly the Russian type of surnames.
Why the ending "-in"? Basically, all surnames ending in "in" come from words ending in -а / -я and from feminine nouns ending in a soft consonant.
There are not a few examples of the erroneous addition of -in to the bases with a final solid consonant: Orekhin, Karpin, Markin, where -ov should have been. And in another case -ov turned out to be in place -in: Shishimorov from the basis of shishimora. It is possible to mix formants. After all, among Russians -in and -ov have been semantically indistinguishable for more than a thousand years. The meaning of the difference was lost even in the common Slavic language, the choice of -ov or -in depends only survivingly on the phonetic feature of the stem (Nikonov "Geography of Surnames").
Do you know how the name of the famous leader came about militia 1611-1612 years of Minin? Minin had a personal nickname Sukhoruk, he did not have a last name. And Minin meant "son of Mina". Orthodox name"Mina" was widespread in Rus'.
Another old Russian surname- Semin, also a surname on "-in". According to the main version, the surname Semin goes back to the baptismal male name Semyon. The name Semyon is the Russian form of the ancient Jewish name Simeon, meaning "hearing", "heard by God." On behalf of Semyon in Rus', many derivative forms were formed, one of which - Syoma - formed the basis of this surname.
The well-known Slavic linguist B. O. Unbegaun in the collection “Russian Surnames” believes that the surname Semin was formed from the baptismal Russian name after following scheme: "Semyon - Syoma - Semin."
Let us give another example of a surname, which we studied in detail in the family diploma. Rogozhin is an old Russian surname. According to the main version, the surname keeps the memory of the profession of distant ancestors. One of the first representatives of the Rogozhins could be engaged in the manufacture of matting, or trade in fabric.
Rogozhey was called a coarse woven fabric from bast tapes. A bast hut (bast mat, bast mat) in Rus' was called a workshop where bast mats were woven, and a bast mat was called a bast weaver or a bast mat merchant.
In his close circle Rogozhnik's household was known as "Rogozhin's wife", "Rogozhin's son", "Rogozhin's grandchildren". Over time, the terms denoting the degree of kinship disappeared, and the hereditary surname - Rogozhins - was assigned to the descendants of Rogozhin.
Such Russian surnames ending in "-in" include: Pushkin (Pushka), Gagarin (Gagara), Borodin (Beard), Ilyin (Ilya), Ptitsyn (Bird); Fomin (from the personal name of Thomas); Belkin (from the nickname "squirrel"), Borozdin (Furrow), Korovin (Cow), Travin (Grass), Zamin and Zimin (winter) and many others
Please note that the words from which surnames are formed on "in" mostly end in "-a" or "-ya". We will not be able to say “Borodov” or “Ilyinov”, it would be more logical and sonorous to pronounce “Ilyin” or “Borodin”.
Why do some people think that last names ending in "-in" have Jewish roots? Is it really? No, this is not true, one cannot judge the origin of a surname by one ending. The sound of Jewish surnames coincides with Russian endings just by pure chance.
It is always necessary to research the surname itself. The ending "ov", for some reason, does not cause us doubts. We believe that surnames ending in "-ov" are definitely Russian. But there are exceptions. For example, we recently prepared a beautiful family diploma for a wonderful family named Maksyutov.
The surname Maksyutov has the ending "ov", common among Russian surnames. But, if you explore the surname deeper, it turns out that the surname Maksyutov is formed from the Tatar male name“Maqsoud”, which in Arabic means “desire, premeditated intention, aspiration, goal”, “long-awaited, desired”. The name Maksud had several dialect variants: Maksut, Mahsud, Mahsut, Maksut. This name is still widespread among the Tatars and Bashkirs to this day.
“The surname Maksyutov is an old princely surname Tatar origin. ABOUT ancient origin surnames Maksyutov say historical sources. The surname was first documented in the 16th century: Maksutovs (Maksutovs, obsolete Maksutovs, Tat. Maksutovlar) - the Volga-Bulgarian princely-Murzin family, comes from the Kasimov prince Maksut (1554), in the genealogical legend, Prince Maksut was called a lancer and a descendant of the prince Kashima." Now there is almost no doubt about the origin of the surname.
How to find out if a surname starts with -in Jewish origin Or is it a native Russian surname? Always analyze the word that underlies your last name.
Here are examples of Jewish surnames ending in “-in” or “-ov”: Edmin (derived from the name of the German city of Emden), Kotin (derived from the Hebrew קטן- in the Ashkenazi pronunciation “kotn”, meaning “small”), Eventov (derived from Hebrew "even tov" - " gem”), Khazin (derived from the Hebrew “khazan”, in the Ashkenazi pronunciation “khazn”, meaning “a person leading worship in the synagogue”), Superfin (translated as “very beautiful”) and many others.
The ending "-in" is just an ending by which one cannot judge the nationality of a surname. You always need to research the surname, analyze the word that underlies it and try to search in various books and archival documents for the first mention of your surname. Only when all the information has been collected will you be able to establish with certainty the origin of your surname and find answers to your questions.
SURNAMES ENDING IN SKIY/-SKAYA, -TSKIY/-TSKAYA
Many Russians have a firm and unfounded conviction that surnames in -sky are necessarily Polish. From history textbooks, the names of several Polish magnates are known, formed from the names of their possessions: Pototsky and Zapototsky, Zablotsky, Krasinsky. But from the same textbooks, the names of many Russians with the same suffixes are known: Konstantin Grigoryevich Zabolotsky, roundabout of Tsar John III, late 15th - early 16th centuries; clerk Semyon Zaborovsky, early 16th century; boyars Shuisky and Belsky, close associates of Ivan the Terrible. Famous Russian artists Levitsky, Borovikovsky, Makovsky, Kramskoy.
An analysis of modern Russian surnames shows that forms in -sky (-tsky) exist in parallel with variants in -ov (-ev, -in), but there are fewer of them. For example, in Moscow in the 70s of the twentieth century, for 330 people with the surname Krasnov / Krasnova, there were only 30 with the surname Krasnovsky / Krasnovskaya. But enough rare surnames Kuchkov and Kuchkovsky, Makov and Makovsky are represented almost equally.
A significant part of the surnames ending in -sky / -skaya, -tsky / -tskaya are formed from geographical and ethnic names. In the letters of our readers who want to know about the origin of their surnames, the following surnames are mentioned in -sky / -sky.
Brynsky. The author of this letter, Evgeny Sergeevich Brynsky, himself sent the story of his last name. We give only a small piece of the letter, since it is not possible to publish it in its entirety. Bryn - river Kaluga region, flows into the tributary of the Oka Zhizdra. In the old days, large dense Bryn forests stretched along it, in which the Old Believers took refuge. According to the epic about Ilya Muromets, it was in the Bryn forests that the Nightingale the Robber lived. We add that there are several settlements Bryn in the Kaluga and Ivano-Frankivsk regions. The surname Brynski / Brynska found in Poland is formed from the name of two settlements Brynsk in different parts country and also, apparently, goes back to the names of the rivers Bryn, Brynica. There is no uniform interpretation of the names of these rivers in science. If the suffix -ets is added to the name of an inhabited place, then such a word denotes a native of this place. In the Crimea in the 60s - 70s of the XX century, the winegrower Maria Bryntseva was well known. Her surname is derived from the word brynets, that is, a native of the city or village of Bryn.
Garbavitsky. This Belarusian surname corresponds to Russian Gorbovitsky (in Belarusian language the letter a is written in place of the unstressed o). The surname is formed from the name of some settlement of Gorbovitsa. In the materials we have, there are only Gorbov, Gorbovo and Gorbovtsy. All these names come from the designations of the terrain: humpback - hillock, sloping hill.
Dubovskaya. The surname is formed from the name of one of the numerous settlements: Dubovka, Dubovo, Dubovoe, Dubovskaya, Dubovsky, Dubovskoye, Dubovtsy, located in all parts of the country. To find out from which one, it is possible only according to the information preserved in the family, where the ancestors who received this surname lived, or where they came from to their place of further residence. Emphasis in the surname on "o": Dubovsky / Dubovskaya.
Steblivsky. Ukrainian surname corresponding to Russian - Steblevsky; formed from the names of settlements Steblivka in the Transcarpathian region or Steblev-Cherkasy. In Ukrainian orthography, i is written in place of the second e.
Tersky. The surname comes from the name of the Terek River and indicates that someone from distant ancestors this person lived there. There were the Terek region and the Terek Cossacks. So the bearers of the surname Tersky may also be descendants of the Cossacks.
Uryansky. The surname, apparently, is formed from the name of the settlement Urya. In our materials, such a name is recorded in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Perhaps there are similar names in other places, since the name of the settlement is associated with the name of the river and with the designation ethnic group ur, as well as with the name of the medieval Turkic people Uryanka. Similar names could be found in different places, since medieval peoples led a nomadic lifestyle and assigned the name of their ethnic group to those places where they lingered for a long time.
Chiglinsky. The surname comes from the name of the settlement Chigla Voronezh region, which, apparently, is associated with the designation of the union of medieval Turkic tribes Chigili.
Shabansky. The surname is formed from the names of the settlements Shabanovo, Shabanovskoye, Shabanskoye, located in different parts of the country. These names come from the Turkic name Shaban of Arabic origin. IN Arabic shaban is the name of the eighth month lunar calendar. The name Shaban is also attested in Russian peasant families in the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries. In parallel with this, the spelling variant Shiban was noted in the Russian language - obviously, by analogy with the Russian shibat, zashibat.
