German cross symbol meaning. Slavic swastika - meaning, history, difference

The four-beam swastika is a hexagon, with axial symmetry of the 4th order. The correct -beam swastika is described by a point symmetry group (Schoenflies symbolism). This group is generated by rotation of the -th order and reflection in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation - the so-called "horizontal" plane in which the pattern lies. Due to the operation of reflecting the swastika achiral and does not have enantiomer(that is, a "double" obtained by reflection, which cannot be combined with the original figure by any rotation). As a result, in oriented space, right- and left-handed swastikas do not differ. Right- and left-handed swastikas differ only on the plane, where the pattern has purely rotational symmetry. For even, an inversion appears, where is a rotation of the 2nd order.

You can build a swastika for anyone; when you get a figure similar to the sign of the integral. For example, the symbol borjgali(see below) is a swastika with . A swastika-like figure will generally be obtained if we take any area on the plane and multiply it by rotating it once about the vertical axis , which does not lie in the vertical plane of symmetry of the area .

Origin and meaning

Illustration from ESBE.

The word "swastika" is a compound of two Sanskrit roots: सु, su, "good, good" and अस्ति, asti, "life, existence", that is, "well-being" or "well-being". There is another name for the swastika - "gammadion" (Greek. γαμμάδιον ), since the Greeks saw in the swastika a combination of four letters "gamma" (Γ).

The swastika is a symbol of the Sun, good luck, happiness and creation. In Western European medieval literature, the name of the sun god of the ancient Prussians Swiikstiks(Svaixtix) is first found in Latin-language monuments - the beginning of the 17th century: "Sudauer Buchlein"(mid-15th century), "Episcoporum Prussiae Pomesaniensis atque Sambiensis Constitutiones Synodales" (1530), "De Sacrificiis et Idolatria Veterum Borvssorvm Livonum, aliarumque uicinarum gentium" (1563), "De Diis Samagitarum" (1615) .

The swastika is one of the ancient and archaic solar signs - an indicator of the apparent movement of the Sun around the Earth and the division of the year into four parts - four seasons. The sign fixes two solstices: summer and winter - and the annual movement of the Sun.

Nevertheless, the swastika is considered not only as a solar symbol, but also as a symbol of the fertility of the earth. It has the idea of ​​four cardinal points, centered around an axis. The swastika also suggests the idea of ​​movement in two directions: clockwise and counterclockwise. Like "Yin" and "Yang", a dual sign: rotating clockwise symbolizes male energy, counterclockwise - female. In ancient Indian scriptures, male and female swastikas are distinguished, which depicts two female, as well as two male deities.

About the meaning of the swastika, the Encyclopedia of Brockhaus F. A. and Efron I. A. writes as follows:

The swastika is "correct" and reverse. Accordingly, the swastika of the opposite direction symbolizes darkness, destruction. In ancient times, both swastikas were used simultaneously. This has a deep meaning: day replaces night, light replaces darkness, new birth replaces death - and this is the natural order of things in the Universe. Therefore, in ancient times there were no "bad" and "good" swastikas - they were perceived in unity.

One of the oldest forms of the swastika is Asia Minor and is an ideogram of the four cardinal points in the form of a figure with four cross-shaped curls. The swastika was understood as a symbol of the four main forces, the four cardinal points, the elements, the seasons, and the alchemical idea of ​​the transformation of the elements.

Use in religion

In many religions, the swastika is an important religious symbol.

Buddhism

Other religions

Widely used by Jains and followers of Vishnu. In Jainism, the four arms of the swastika represent the four levels of existence.

Usage in history

The swastika is a sacred symbol and is found already in the Upper Paleolithic period. The symbol is found in the culture of many nations. Ukraine, Egypt, Iran, India, China, Maverannahr, Russia, Armenia, Georgia, the Mayan state in Central America - this is the incomplete geography of this symbol. The swastika is presented in oriental ornaments, on monumental buildings and household utensils, on various amulets and Orthodox icons.

In the ancient world

The swastika was found on clay vessels from Samarra (the territory of modern Iraq), which date back to the 5th millennium BC, and in ornaments on ceramics of the South Ural Andronovo culture. The left- and right-handed swastika is found in the pre-Aryan culture of Mohenjo-Daro (Indus River basin) and ancient China around 2000 BC.

One of the oldest forms of the swastika is Asia Minor and is an ideogram of the four cardinal points in the form of a figure with four cross-shaped curls. Back in the 7th century BC, images similar to the swastika were known in Asia Minor, consisting of four cross-shaped scrolls - rounded ends are signs of cyclic movement. There are interesting coincidences in the image of Indian and Asia Minor swastikas (dots between the branches of the swastika, jagged thickenings at the ends). Other early forms of the swastika - a square with four plant-like roundings along the edges - are a sign of the earth, also of Asia Minor origin.

In Northeast Africa, a stele of the kingdom of Meroe was discovered, which existed in the 2nd-3rd centuries AD. e. The fresco on the stele depicts a woman entering the afterlife, and a swastika also flaunts on the clothes of the deceased. The rotating cross also adorns the golden weights for scales that belonged to the inhabitants of Ashanta (Ghana), and the clay utensils of the ancient Indians, and the carpets of the Persians. The swastika is often found on the charms of the Slavs, Germans, Pomors, Curonians, Scythians, Sarmatians, Mordovians, Udmurts, Bashkirs, Chuvashs and many other peoples. The swastika is found wherever there are traces of Buddhist culture.

In China, the swastika is used as a sign of all the deities worshiped in the Lotus School, as well as in Tibet and Siam. In ancient Chinese manuscripts, it included such concepts as "region", "country". Known in the form of a swastika are two curved mutually truncated fragments of a double helix, expressing the symbolism of the relationship "Yin" and "Yang". In maritime civilizations, the double helix motif was an expression of the relationship between opposites, a sign of the Upper and Lower Waters, and also meant the process of becoming life. On one of the Buddhist swastikas, each blade of the cross ends in a triangle indicating the direction of movement and crowned with an arch of a flawed moon, in which, like in a boat, the sun is placed. This sign represents the sign of the mystical arba, the creative quaternary, also called Thor's hammer. A similar cross was found by Schliemann during the excavations of Troy.

The swastika was depicted in pre-Christian Roman mosaics and on the coins of Cyprus and Crete. An ancient Cretan rounded swastika made of plant elements is known. The Maltese cross in the form of a swastika of four triangles converging in the center is of Phoenician origin. It was also known to the Etruscans. According to A. Ossendovsky, Genghis Khan wore a ring on his right hand with the image of a swastika, into which a ruby ​​was set. Ossendovsky saw this ring on the hand of the Mongol governor. At present, this magical symbol is known mainly in India and Central and East Asia.

Swastika in India

Swastika in Russia (and on its territory)

Various types of swastikas (3-beam, 4-beam, 8-beam) are present on the ceramic ornament of the Andronovo archaeological culture (Southern Urals of the Bronze Age).

The rhombus-meander swastika ornament in the Kostenkovskaya and Mezinskaya cultures (25-20 thousand years BC) was studied by V. A. Gorodtsov. So far, there is no reliable data on where the swastika was first used, but its earliest image was not registered in Rus'.

The swastika was used in rituals and construction, in homespun production: in embroideries on clothes, on carpets. The swastika was used to decorate household utensils. She was also present on the icons. Embroidered on clothes, the swastika could have a certain protective meaning.

The swastika symbol was used as a personal sign and a talisman symbol by Empress Alexandra Feodorovna. Images of the swastika are found on hand-drawn postcards of the Empress. One of the first such "signs" was placed by the Empress after the signature "A." on a Christmas card drawn by her, sent on December 5, 1917 from Tobolsk to her friend Yu. A. Den.

The swastika was depicted on some banknotes of the Provisional Government of 1917 and on some Soviet signs printed with the cliché "Kerenok", which were in circulation from 1918 to 1922. .

In November 1919, the commander of the South-Eastern Front of the Red Army, V.I. Shorin, was issued, which approved the distinctive sleeve insignia of the Kalmyk formations using the swastika. The swastika in the order is indicated by the word "lyungtn", that is, the Buddhist "Lungta", meaning - "whirlwind", "vital energy".

Also, the image of the swastika can be seen on some historical monuments in Chechnya, in particular on ancient crypts in the Itum-Kalinsky district of Chechnya (the so-called "City of the Dead"). In the pre-Islamic period, the swastika was a symbol of the sun god among pagan Chechens (Dela-Malkh).

The swastika and censorship in the USSR

On the territory of modern Israel, images of the swastika were discovered during excavations in the mosaics of ancient synagogues. Thus, the synagogue on the site of the ancient settlement of Ein Gedi in the Dead Sea region dates back to the beginning of the 2nd century, and the synagogue on the site of the modern kibbutz Maoz Chaim on the Golan Heights operated between the 4th and 11th centuries.

In North, Central and South America, the swastika is found in Maya and Aztec art. In North America, the Navajo, Tennessee, and Ohio tribes used the swastika symbol in ritual burials.

Thai greeting Swatdi! comes from the word svatdika(swastika).

The swastika as the emblem of the Nazi organizations

Nevertheless, I was forced to reject all the countless designs sent to me from all over by young supporters of the movement, since all these projects boiled down to only one theme: they took the old colors and on this background drew a hoe-shaped cross in various variations. […] After a series of experiments and alterations, I myself drew up a completed project: the main background of the banner is red; a white circle inside, and in the center of this circle is a black hoe-shaped cross. After long alterations, I finally found the necessary ratio between the size of the banner and the size of the white circle, and finally settled on the size and shape of the cross.

In the view of Hitler himself, she symbolized "the struggle for the triumph of the Aryan race." This choice combined both the mystical occult meaning of the swastika, and the idea of ​​the swastika as an "Aryan" symbol (due to its prevalence in India), and the already established use of the swastika in the German extreme right tradition: it was used by some Austrian anti-Semitic parties, and in March 1920 during the Kapp putsch, it was depicted on the helmets of the Erhardt brigade that entered Berlin (here, perhaps, there was the influence of the Baltic states, since many fighters of the Volunteer Corps encountered a swastika in Latvia and Finland). Already in the 20s, the swastika became increasingly associated with Nazism; after 1933, it finally began to be perceived as a Nazi symbol par excellence, as a result of which, for example, it was excluded from the emblems of the scouting movement.

However, strictly speaking, not any swastika was a Nazi symbol, but a four-pointed one, with the ends pointing to the right side and rotated by 45 °. At the same time, it should be in a white circle, which in turn is depicted on a red rectangle. It was this sign that was on the state banner of National Socialist Germany from 1933 to 1945, as well as on the emblems of the civil and military services of this country (although, of course, other variants were used for decorative purposes, including by the Nazis).

Actually, the Nazis used the term to designate the swastika that served as their symbol. Hakenkreuz ("Hackenkreuz", literally "hook cross", translation options also - "crooked" or "arachnid"), which is not a synonym for the word swastika (German. Swastika), which is also used in German. It can be said that "Hackenkreuz"- the same national name for the swastika in German, as "solstice" or "kolovrat" in Russian or "hackaristi" in Finnish, and is usually used specifically to refer to the Nazi symbol. In Russian translation, this word was translated as "hoe-shaped cross".

On the poster of the Soviet graphic artist Moor "Everything on" G "" (1941), the swastika consists of 4 letters "G", symbolizing the first letters of the names of the leaders of the Third Reich written in Russian - Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, Goering.

Geographical objects in the form of a swastika

forest swastika

Forest swastika - forest plantation in the form of a swastika. They are found both in open areas in the form of a corresponding schematic planting of trees, and in the forest area. In the latter case, as a rule, a combination of coniferous (evergreen) and deciduous (deciduous) trees is used.

Until 2000, a forest swastika existed northwest of the settlement of Zernick, in the district of Uckermark, in the state of Brandenburg in northwestern Germany.

On a hillside near the village of Tash-Bashat, in Kyrgyzstan, on the border with the Himalayas, there is a forest swastika "Eki Narin" ( 41.447351 , 76.391641 41°26′50.46″ N sh. 76°23′29.9″ E d. /  41.44735121 , 76.39164121 (G)).

Buildings in the shape of a swastika

Complex 320-325(English) Complex 320-325) - one of the buildings of the naval landing base in Coronado (Eng. Naval Amphibious Base Coronado ), in San Diego Bay, California. The base is operated by the US Navy and is the central training and operations base for the Special Forces and Expeditionary Forces. Coordinates 32.6761, -117.1578.

The building of the Complex was built between 1967 and 1970. The original design consisted of two central buildings for the boiler plant and a relaxation area and a threefold repetition of a 90-degree turn to the central buildings of the L-shaped barracks building. The completed building is shaped like a swastika when viewed from above.

Swastika computer symbol

The Unicode character table has the Chinese characters 卐 (U+5350) and 卍 (U+534D), which are swastikas.

Swastika in culture

In the Spanish series "Black Lagoon" (Russian version of "Closed School"), a Nazi organization developing in the bowels of a secret laboratory under a boarding school had a coat of arms in which the swastika was encrypted.

Mikhail Zadornov reflects on Trekhlebov's arrest in his blog.

Mikhail Zadornov

Remember, I once said that instead of taking the best from the Soviet past and our present, we did the opposite? The people who accuse him combine today's illiteracy, lack of education and the Soviet inquisitorial thinking of party workers.

Do they still not know what the swastika means? Hitler's Germany became Nazi not because it took the swastika - the ancient sign of the Sun, but because it declared itself a superior race! Tell me, if Hitler at that time had taken for Germany and for his party the double-headed eagle - also an ancient symbol - would today's sleuth managers consider it among the Nazi symbols? How many of the power-hungry maniacs, who dreamed of conquering the world, used various ancient magic symbols for their success and persuasion of the masses?

Of course, Trekhlebov told his students about the meaning of the swastika. After all, he taught ancient knowledge. About the swastika is known not only to him, but to all scientists in the world. Only our tourists, getting into the Buddhist monasteries of India, exclaim with horror: “What is this disgusting thing?”, Seeing numerous swastikas on the walls or pillars of the monastery.

The swastika is perhaps one of the few symbols as ancient as mankind.

The swastika was found among many peoples in ancient times.

This is the Sun!

First, the Sun was drawn in a circle. Then they began to draw a cross, closed in a circle. This meant that people began to divide space into four parts of the world. They noticed the four main days of the year - two solstices and two equinoxes. Days in which, anywhere on Earth, there is a constant ratio between day and night: the shortest night, the shortest day, and two days when day equals night. And then one of the very ancient "Kulibins" thought of giving this cross a rotation, thereby designating the eternal movement and development, depending on the sun. How can you understand that the drawn cross is spinning? Tie ribbons to the ends of the cross and show in which direction the force of inertia acts! Or show the rays emanating from the center-circle as curved. The image of a rotating cross-sun - archaeologists find in various parts of the world. Many of them cannot be accurately dated. Only one thing is clear - some of them are antediluvian times!

Those who consider the swastika a fascist and Nazi symbol actually take the side of ... Hitler!

Yes, the word "swastika" is unpleasant to the ear of a Soviet person. The Patriotic War brought too much trouble. And the swastika remained a symbol of this trouble in memory at a subconscious level. But not on the conscious!

However, many forget that we also had the swastika on banknotes from 1918 to 1922, and even on the sleeve patches of the Red Army.

The swastika is found in Russian northern folk patterns all the time. On towels. On spinning wheels. On vases. In the patterns of platbands… You can’t list everything!

Go to the North of Russia today, you foolish sleuths, and arrest everyone who has such towels!

Moreover, I understand that I will now be attacked by those “edited” by the church, but the swastika was also often depicted on early icons. And there are many examples of this! And there is nothing wrong with that.

Yes, the swastika can be considered a pagan sign. But in Rus', until a certain time, there was officially the so-called dual faith. This meant that people worshiped the cross as a symbol of the Sun and the crucifixion of Christ at the same time. Since Christ, too, for them was the incarnation of the Sun on earth! Go to Sergiev Posad and look at the crosses on the domes - there are suns in the center of the crosses! I asked more than one priest, where do the suns come from on the crosses? Nobody really answered. But they probably know that this tradition - to depict crosses with the sun - has existed since the time of Sergius of Radonezh.

Can you imagine how illiterate our authorities are?!

I repeat once again that the word "swastika" is not the most pleasant for the Russian ear. The Slavs called the solar sign Kolovrat. Solstice. Anti-Slavs claim that there was no such word. Right. It was not in the writings of the clergy monks. And the people had, and still have. It is the people who preserve the living language, while the scientists do not know the living language and often make it dead.

There were two Kolovrats in our Slavic-Russian tradition. One cross revolved around the sun, the other against the sun.

One could talk endlessly about the swastika. Yes, the word is disgusting even for me, who grew up immediately after the war, so I will decipher what it means.

First of all, I repeat that the word "swastika" is not of Slavic origin. Indian, Sanskrit. But Sanskrit is a language invented by the Aryan Brahmins to write down the Vedas in a new place and preserve knowledge. The direct speakers of the Aryan language, in addition to Sanskrit, remained the Slavic languages, so almost all Sanskrit words, if you listen carefully to them, coincide with Russian.

So do not be surprised that the word "swastika" carries a luminous meaning in both Russian and Sanskrit.

"Swa" is light. In the Vedic language, they pronounced “su” in short. And translated as "God's grace." And what if not light is God's grace. After all, from the word "light" - "holy." The word "asti" is "is" in relation to the singular number of the third person: he asti, she asti. And “ka” in many languages ​​​​of the world, including the one that scientists designate as hypocritical politically correct “Indo-European”, meant “soul”. “Sv / u-asti-ka” - “he / she is the light of the soul”!

Slavic "Kolovrat" means the same - "rotating sun". This has been written about more than once, “kolo” - in ancient times they called the sun. And then, when the letter “si” began to be pronounced like “k” (and vice versa) among the southern peoples (they mixed it up from illiteracy), then “kolo” turned into “solo”.

The swastika, or Kolovrat, is the sacred sign of the Aryans. Aryans, long before the formation of slave-owning civilizations known to us, inhabited the entire Eurasian continent. Naturally, they worshiped the Sun. Natural knowledge of the Aryans is practically forgotten. Symbols live longer. Secret knowledge, as a rule, is kept not by scientists. Scientists cling to everything that is revealed. And knowledge in the oral tradition is kept by the people. Ask a Belarusian peasant or any inhabitant of the Kola Peninsula what the swastika means. Unlike many scientists, he will tell you.

By the way, the Kolovrat swastika was depicted very interestingly on the towels. If you look at the towel from one side, the sun rotates clockwise, and if from the other - against! Witty, isn't it? Symbol of eternity: darkness is replaced by light, light is replaced by darkness...

The Inquisition is back - arrested for believing in the sun!

Is it really Trekhlebov's fault that Hitler spliced ​​the swastika with a distraught Germany?! And ruined her! Moreover, he took only that solar sign that rotates counterclockwise. That is only a sign of darkness!

And the ancient Greeks found the same solar symbol. But they combined it in a pattern called the "river of life."

Among our Slavic ancestors, by the pattern in which the swastika was “woven” on the bride’s clothes, one could tell what kind it was. Today, using Scottish skirts, you can determine to which surname a noble Scot belongs. The same custom comes from pagan times. But in Scotland, it never occurs to anyone to arrest a man walking down the street in a skirt. Or all the tailors who sew these skirts!

I watched some videos on YouTube with Trekhlebov's speeches. In one of them, he explained to his students that according to the Russian alphabet, love means “people know God”!

And what's wrong with that? Both love and God in one teaching, in one word.

By the way, it’s very interesting, are the investigators who issued a warrant for his arrest, or the prosecutors, I don’t know there, are they Russian people? I mean, their native language is Russian? I recognize nationality by the language in which a person thinks, of course, not by blood and not by the shape of the skull, as was done in Nazi Germany.

Slavs are direct descendants of the Aryans! Sanskritologists who came to Russia more than once from India emphasized that there are no more similar languages ​​in the world than Sanskrit and Russian. The Russian language is great in that it absorbed many Slavic dialects, dialects, pronunciations - it seemed to sum up all the Slavic languages. If two Slavic peoples gather at some conference and do not understand each other in their languages, they switch to Russian. I have met a similar situation more than once in Riga, when the Lithuanians were forced to speak Russian with the Latvians. Although Lithuanian and Latvian are very similar to each other. But the common denominator is still Russian. (Moreover, already at a time when Russian was considered the language of the invaders).

So let's draw the line. Trekhlebov spread knowledge about light, about the sun, and he was arrested!

Just a new version of the legend of Lucifer! After all, Lucifer is also - from the word "light" - "ray". True, he was presented to people as a fallen angel. So what do we have, Trekhlebov the fallen angel?

However, I also have another point of view. Maybe those who arrested him aren't as dumb as they seem. Maybe they just paid for it? And then it's really bad. It's no secret that today they can be arrested either because they paid, or on a call from above. On a call from above hardly. Up there, no one is interested in Trekhlebov. For them, the fallen angel is the one who threw in business, especially in oil or gas. For example, Yulia Tymoshenko or Yushchenko... and others like them.

However, I am not left with the feeling that some sort of disassembly is involved in this matter between today's Slavic communities, always arguing with each other. I'm not sure, I'm not saying ... If this is so, come to your senses! Quarrel, swear, go against each other "wall to wall", but do not betray the desire for Vedic knowledge. If some community that does not like Trekhlebov's views ordered him, then this is a great sin. This is anti-Vedic!

But if the authorities themselves did this, then I propose to arrest about half of the Russian inhabitants in the north of Russia, in Buryatia, most of the population, to close the Buryat Buddhist datsans, which, by the way, were opened in the late 40s by the decree of ... Stalin! Iosif Vissarionovich allowed to depict a swastika in these datsans! And he must have hated her more than anyone. But he was more literate than today's authorities! A descendant of the ancient Aryan Ossetians, apparently, knew the essence of this sign and understood that the solar symbol itself was not to blame for the horror that Nazi Germany unleashed.

Oh-oh-oh, I almost forgot... In Ivolginsky datsan, where the holy sage Itigelov is located, lamas gave me felt slippers with a swastika on them! I think it's time for me to be arrested. And, along with slippers!

And now tell me, gentlemen who hold power, after all that has been said, will you still continue to believe Hitler, and not our worthy sunny ancestors?

I sympathize with Trekhlebov, but perhaps thanks to his arrest, people will finally clear up a lot for themselves. And it will all end in sunshine.

P.S. By the way, the Soviet party leaders tried to convince the Soviet people that the Hitlerite swastika was invented by Hitler himself and it meant the four combined letters "G": Hitler, Himmler, Goebbels, Goering.

P.P.S. Since my words do not inspire confidence among a part of the population, because I do not have any titles, I suggest reading an article by a real scientist.

Swastika - a child of millennia

Throughout the history of human civilization, many signs and symbols have accumulated. Are signs immortal? No, in their vast mass they are lost, disappearing from the memory of people. But those that continue to live will probably not be lost in the future. Such eternal signs include, in particular, the sun, the cross and the swastika.

It would seem - what is common between the vicious circle of the sun and the four-pointed cross? Why is the formula "sun and cross" so familiar to hearing? Yes, because these two signs are almost identical. Since ancient times, they have been brought together by such a simple fact as the similarity of astronomical ideas of the ancient inhabitants of different countries. In very distant times, an image of the sun appears with cross lines within a circle. It is assumed that in this way a person tried to express his attitude to the four cardinal points, his understanding of the world order, to depict the main areas of the firmament in their relationship with the sun and its movement.

Who, where and when began to depict the crossed sun, it is impossible to say. At least until all archaeological discoveries in the world are made and dated. The sun with a cross inside the circle appears before us in different parts of the earth. Gradually, the sign of the cross, as it were, is released from the coverage of the solar ring and begins to live its own life. It is sometimes depicted, nevertheless, next to solar rosettes and with circles inside its outline, but more and more often it is in the form of a straight, and sometimes oblique cross.

And in the same deepest impenetrable antiquity, the cross still continued to carry some conventional designations of its connection with the sun, its direct belonging to it. Apparently, it began with the desire of people to portray in some way the very fact of the movement of the sun. And this beginning was the giving of curved rays to the solar circle. After all, the cross is static, motionless, and changes in its shape do not give it the energy of a steep rotation.

But how to show the movement of the luminary, its rotation? The answer was found - it is necessary to dismember the ring around the cross, leaving its segments only at the four ends of the cross (or at five, or at seven, if the cross was conceived as spokes inside the rim of the wheel of the sun). So the SWASTIKA was born and was born.

In this sense, the images on the vessels from Ancient Mexico are very illustrative.

No one will be able to answer the question of the time and place of such a giving to the cross of a new form, a new meaning, more directly, more expressively connecting it with the sun. But this happened, and a new sign appeared among the most ancient symbolic inscriptions.

The sign itself is silent and does not bear any guilt or responsibility. Responsible are people who use it for their own purposes, both plausible and unseemly.

Starting in the 1930s, disputes began to flare up in the world about the meaning and historical role of the swastika. In Russia, which suffered so severely from the enemy who smashed the country under banners with the sign of the swastika, this hostility has become firmly established in the souls of people and has not faded for half a century, especially in the souls of the older generation. But, nevertheless, the prohibition of the sign in the country, or region, or city looks like: the swastika sign has a too deep and ancient destiny.

It is important to turn to India for the reason that archaeologists and historians have found very few images of swastikas on monuments from other Asian countries close to India. The literature mentions only one ancient image of this sign, attributed to the same and even deeper antiquity - this is a swastika at the bottom of a vessel from Samaria, which is dated (or, more precisely, it is customary to date) the 4th millennium BC. Who created this many other found things that speak of the high development of the culture of the local population, who created prosperous cities and a developed agricultural civilization here?

It was one of the oldest civilizations on earth, most often mentioned in books under the name of the civilization of the Indus Valley, or the civilization of Harappa (after the name of one of the local cities). This civilization is called pre-Aryan, because its heyday fell on the 4th-3rd millennium BC, i.e. for those centuries when the tribes of nomadic pastoralists of the Aryans were just moving towards India through the lands of Eastern Europe, and then Central Asia. Where did their long movement begin? According to a theory widely spread in science, known as the northern, or Arctic, the ancestors of the Aryans ("Aryans") originally lived, along with the distant ancestors of all peoples who spoke Indo-European languages, in the lands of the Arctic.

Looking at this Tibetan yak, I noticed the swastika ornament. And I thought: and the swastika is "fascist"!

Many times I have encountered attempts to divide the swastika into "right-handed" and "left-handed". They say that "f ashistkaya" swastika - "left-handed", it rotates to the left - "back", i.e. counterclockwise time. Slavic swastika - on the contrary - "right-handed". If the swastika rotates clockwise ("right-handed" swastika), then this means the addition of vital energy, if against (left-handed), then this indicates the "suction" of vital energy to Navi, the afterlife of the dead.

michael101063 in A very ancient sacred symbol writes: "... you need to know that the swastika can be left-sided and right-sided. The left-sided was associated with lunar cults, black magic of bloody sacrifices and with the downward spiral of involution. The right-sided - with solar cults, white magic and the upward spiral of evolution .

It is no coincidence that the Nazis used and continue to use the left-handed swastika, like the black Bon-po sorcerers in Tibet, to whom the expeditions of the Nazi occult Institute "Ahnenerbe" went for the sacred knowledge of antiquity.

It is no coincidence that there has always been a close connection and cooperation between the Nazis and black sorcerers. And the massacres of civilians by the Nazis are also not accidental, since in essence they are bloody sacrifices to the forces of darkness.

And now I look at this yak and I feel sorry for him: stupid Tibetans hung all over him with a "fascist" "left-sided" swastika, through which the Navi will suck all his energy and he, poor fellow, will hoard and die.

Or maybe it's not the stupid Tibetans, but those who divide it into a "malicious" left-sided and a "beneficial" right-sided? Obviously, our distant ancestors did not know such a division. Here is an ancient Novgorod ring found by the expedition of Ak. Rybakov.

If you believe modern idle "reasoners", then the owner of this ring was a mentally deranged person, a withered villain with a penis at "half past five". This is, of course, complete nonsense. If such a form of the swastika were associated with something negative, neither animals nor (especially) people would wear it.

R. Bagdasarov, our chief "specialist" on swastikas, notes that there are no clear meanings for the "left" and "right" swastikas even in India, not to mention other cultures. In Christianity, for example, both versions of the swastika are used.

If we divide the swastika into "positive" and "negative", then it turns out that the priest worships both God and the devil at the same time, which again looks like complete nonsense.

So there are no "right-handed" and "left-handed" swastikas. The swastika is the swastika.

Mein Kampf - Hitler's autobiography, where he said that the swastika, as a symbol of the National Socialist movement, was his idea. As a child, Adolf most likely saw this symbol on the wall of a Catholic monastery near the town of Lambach. A cross with curved ends is a sign that has been widely demanded since antiquity. He was depicted on coins, household items and coats of arms from the 8th millennium BC. Then the swastika was a symbol of life, the sun, prosperity. Another place where Hitler could see her is the emblems of Austrian anti-Semitic organizations.

Calling the symbol Hakenkreuz (Hakenkreuz is translated from German as a hook cross), the dictator called himself the first to create this symbol, although in Germany it was used even before Hitler. So, in 1920, the leader of the Nazis, if I may say so, developed the logo of the party - a red flag, inside of which there is a white circle, and in its center a black swastika with hooks. So, red is Marxism, it came after the 120,000th demonstration of the left under the red banner. The Fuhrer also noticed how strongly the scarlet color affects the human psyche. In general, Hitler talked about all the influence of symbols on a person, about their meaning. This was to help him inject his ideology into the masses. When the Fuhrer used the color red, he turned the death of socialism. That is, so brightly he attracted the attention of workers who were already familiar with the red banner. By adding a black swastika to the already familiar scarlet flag, he, as it were, lured the citizens to his side with the help of bait.

Hitler has a red color - movement, white - the sky and nationalism, and a swastika - the work and struggle of the Aryans. In general, it is impossible to recognize the full authorship of Hitler in the creation of symbols. By and large, he even stole the name of the party from the Viennese nationalists, simply rearranged some of the letters. The use of symbols is the idea of ​​the dentist Friedrich Krohn, he handed over the note to the leadership of the party back in 1919. But in his "brilliant" autobiography, Hitler does not say a word about the dentist.

However, in the understanding of Kron himself, red was supposed to be the personification of love for the motherland, white - hatred for the First World War, and the black cross - sorrow for the defeat in the war. Hitler stole the idea and turned it into a symbol of the struggle against the "inferior" races. Jews, Slavs and all other "blond beasts" were to be destroyed, the Fuhrer believed.

So, the ancient symbol, which personified goodness, became overshadowed by its use in National Socialist symbolism. Later, in 1946, the mention of Nazi ideology and symbols became prohibited, as decided by the Nuremberg Tribunal. The swastika, of course, also fell under the ban. Today, the attitude towards the swastika has slightly lowered its degree. For example, in April 2015, Roskomnadzor acknowledged that its use outside of any kind of propaganda does not constitute extremist activity. However, at the sight of a swastika, any person first of all remembers fascism, you cannot erase history, alas. It is very difficult to return a symbol to its former meaning after such a serious humiliation of its meaning. Even today, many racist organizations actively use the swastika in their illegal activities.

There is one strange hypothesis, which is mainly distributed on the Internet, it says that the swastika came to Hitler from Stalin. The authors refer to Russian banknotes of the period from 1917 to 1923, where the swastika was depicted. The swastika was also found on the sleeve patches of soldiers and officers of the Red Army, it was recognized in laurel wreaths, where the letters “R.S.F.S.R” were also located. As for Stalin, he could "give" the swastika to Hitler in 1920, but this hypothesis is too vague.

In order to return the ancient symbol to its original meaning, it may take more than a dozen years.

Quote message The swastika is an ancient Slavic symbol.

character "卐" or "卍", Skt.. स्वस्तिक from स्वस्ति match- greeting, wish of good luck, prosperity) - a cross with curved ends ("rotating"), directed either clockwise or against it. - THE SWASTIKA HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FASCISM UNTIL 1941

The Swastika was popular among the Slavic peoples, undoubtedly the most prosperous in the ancient world. The possession of the most vast and richest lands and the largest population are the legacy of this prosperity. The swastika accompanied the Slavs from the first to the last day of their life, showing off on amulets, clothes, cradles, religious objects and structures, weapons, banners, coats of arms, etc. It takes its form from the most global, most impressive human substance - cosmic, copying the profile of galaxies (our galaxy is called Swati), comets and the trajectory of the polar constellation - Ursa Minor.

The swastika reflects the main type of movement in the Universe - rotational with its derivative - translational, is able to symbolize any philosophical categories and, most importantly - don't offend yourself .

Therefore, the Slavs used at least 144 varieties of the Swastika. Here are some of them followed by a brief description:
