I really like all nations. “I like all nations very much”

"I like all nations very much
And he will be cursed three times
Who dares, who tries
To blacken some people..."

Rasul Gamzatov

On Seliger, the account was opened by combat ...

Last year, the mass media reported that a monument to the famous singer Kola Beldy was opened in the village of Sindah. The monument looks great. We, native Far Easterners, sincerely congratulate all Nanais and residents of the Nanai region on this significant event, the perpetuation of the memory of a world-famous singer, especially since Nikolai Ivanovich Beldy was a participant in the Great Patriotic War.

It is interesting to note that Kola Beldy was born in the small Nanai camp of Mukha, where two famous Passars were born, Hero of the Soviet Union Alexander Padalevich Passar and one of the best snipers of the Red Army during the war years - Maxim Alexandrovich, his relative - namesake. Streets in the villages of Troitskoye, Naikhin, Sinda, Upper Nergen are named after the famous sniper Maxim Passar.

In June 1941, Maxim Passar, having learned about the perfidious attack of fascist Germany on our Motherland, walked 60 kilometers on foot from the village of Mukha to Troitskoye to ask for a volunteer for the front. He just turned 18 years old. Having demonstrated to the military commissar the ability to shoot and showing perseverance, Maxim was drafted into the Red Army. Initially, he took a course in a sniper school. In the summer of 1942, Maxim was enrolled in the 117th Infantry Regiment of the 23rd Infantry Division (which became the 71st Guards on March 1, 1943). Thus began his stellar sniper road. He began his combat account on the Kalinin Front in the same forty-second. On the shores of Lake Seliger, the first fascist hit the front sight of Passar's sniper "mosquito".

On September 21, 1942, Maxim Passar was awarded a sniper rifle as the best sniper of the division, before that he "hunted" with the help of the usual "three-ruler".

On September 29, 1942, on the personal account of M. Passar, there were already 59 destroyed Germans, and in October of the same year, 123 enemies. Only in September-October 1942, 145 snipers, who were trained by M. Passar, destroyed 3175 Nazis. Maxim Passar remained the best sniper in the division. He coordinated his "hunt" with the combat operations of mortars and shooters. The mortars "smoked out" the Nazis from their hiding places and thus exposed them to Maxim's well-aimed bullets. The shooters with tracer bullets indicated to Maxim the enemy firing points and created a favorable environment for the sniper to select a target. The political administration of the Stalingrad Front dedicated a leaflet to Maxim Passar with a biting caption under the photo of a sniper:
A shot without a miss is a passarovsky shot. Beat like Passarovsky in the heart of a fascist.

The ancestor of the sniper movement on the Stalingrad front was dedicated to poems and songs. The newspaper "Red Army" published the poems of Yevgeny Dolmatovsky:

Listen to the song about Passar to the Far East motive.
Teach us all, hunter, your tricks, dexterity.
Glory to the warrior Passar, glory to the sniper rifle!

On October 31, 1942, the commander of the 65th Army, General P. Batov, presented Maxim Passar with the Order of the Red Banner. In November 1942, M. Passard already had 152 fascists killed on his account. He was named the best sniper of the Stalingrad Front. By January 22, 1943, the commander of the sniper department of the guard, senior sergeant, had already destroyed 234 Nazis. On this day, he managed to exterminate a few more fascists, but he himself died a heroic death. Posthumously, he was forever enrolled in the lists of the 117th Infantry Regiment. For the heroic struggle against the Nazi invaders, Maxim Passar was awarded two Orders of the Red Banner. The army commander had the right to award only the Order of the Red Banner. It is possible that General Pavel Ivanovich Batov petitioned for the title of Hero of the Soviet Union to Maxim Alexandrovich Passar. The commander in his memoirs spoke warmly about the glorious son of the Nanai people and pointed out that on account of Maxim Passar 280 destroyed Nazis.

On the combat account of snipers of Heroes of the Soviet Union Vasily Zaitsev - 225, Ivan Vezhlintsev - 134, Fedosy Smolyachkov - 125, Vladimir Pchelintsev - 102, Ivan Bogatyrev - 75 destroyed Germans.

Guard Sergeant Maxim Passar, sniper ace, fully deserved the high title of Hero of the country. Recently, the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedem, correcting the historical injustice regarding the glorious son of the Nanai people, Maxim Passar, awarded him the title of Hero of Russia by his Decree. Posthumously.

Hello! The title of the article on the ChGIGN website is bewildering: "How did the forced Christianization of the Chuvashs take place?" (http://www..html.) Don't you think that the wording sounds too outrageous and unambiguous? The very problem of the history of the Christianization of the Chuvash is not as simple as it seems.

Petrov Dmitry Vladimirovich, Saint Petersburg

Editorial:

Thank you for your attention to our site. At the moment, the material has been removed from the site. We agree that "the very problem of the history of the Christianization of the Chuvash is not as simple as it seems." It was conceived as a series of publications with the role of the patriarch of the Novochuvash culture, Yakovlev, with his role in the Christianization of the Chuvash and the modern translation of the Bible. Ready to publish your point of view.

This week, the most daring residents of the city wrote the “Great Ethnographic Dictation”. Bold, because they took on an almost unknown business. Everyone is used to the fact that there is an annual big dictation that checks the level of knowledge of the Russian language. And here the language is in second place. And on the first - knowledge of Russian history, geography, culture and ethnography.

There was no letter as such: the participants underlined or circled the answers to the proposed questions. In the library-museum, where the dictation took place, a working and at the same time friendly atmosphere was created for the participants. Although completely different people came both in age, and in occupation, and in relation to life.
We read the first task (there were 30 in total), and the reading room, turned into a classroom, fell into silence. No one looked at each other, they didn’t get phones, they didn’t whisper with neighbors - everyone realized that in fact the questions are very complex and you won’t give quick answers to them. And time goes by - 45 minutes are allotted for everything about everything, like a lesson at school.
Having somehow coped with the first and second questions, I ran into the third.

“According to the All-Russian Population Census of 2010, representatives of 193 nationalities live in Russia, 7 of which exceed 1 million in number. Specify these biggest peoples”. And then 12 nations are listed.
Which of them is more numerous in Russia, besides Russians? Ukrainians, Armenians, Chuvashs, Nenets? In general, answered at random. And after the third question, which took five minutes, came the fourth - even more difficult.
“The Russian Federation includes 22 republics. Which republic corresponds to the name of the capital?
Of the 12 proposed matches, I knew only seven. The capitals of which republics are Magas, Kyzyl, Abakan - I could not remember. And what to remember if you didn't know?

To question number 9, the participants of the dictation relaxed a little. There were even quiet conversations. The fact is that the ninth question was the easiest for most.
“There were 15 union republics in the Soviet Union. Some are listed below, name four of them.” And the list: Finland, Tajikistan, Montenegro, Romania, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan. Now it is clear why the question is easy?
The closer to the middle of the “lesson”, the more fun (probably from tension) the “students” became. The questions again became complex: they talked about the languages ​​spoken by the peoples, about religion, about epics and national heroes.

The most interesting question for me was the question of in which city the oldest mosque in Russia, built in the 8th century, is located. This mosque is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Register.
I rushed between two cities - Kazan and Astrakhan. In the end, Kazan was marked and, as it turned out later, she hit the sky with her finger. Rechecking myself after the dictation, I found out on the Internet that the oldest mosque is located in the city of Derbent, and in general Derbent is almost the most ancient city in Russia.
From the category of “lethal” there was a question about which people a certain headdress corresponds to. After reading the answers, some ladies, including me, laughed to tears: we only knew the word “kokoshnik”.

What is panga, aishon and tukhya, we could not imagine. And only then, at home, the lifesaver Wikipedia explained that panga is a Mordovian female headdress, aishon is Udmurt, and tukhya is Chuvash.

The dictation ended with a quatrain:

“I like all nations very much.
And he will be cursed three times
Who dares, who tries
Blacken some people."

It was necessary to determine who the author was. I chose Rasul Gamzatov. My young colleague Yulia thought that these lines belonged to Fazil Iskander. I won: my answer was correct. But Yulia beat me in the task about the capitals of the republics. She knew that Maikop was the capital of Adygea. And here I am, no.
The results of the "Great Ethnographic Dictation" will be announced on November 4. The maximum number of points that can be scored is 100.

But I think for many participants the result is already known. It became clear to us that we live in a really huge country, the history of which can be studied all our lives, and still there will not be enough time.
