A real Russian could always prove himself. And, not only in battle and at the feast. Even wearing a woman's skirt, finding a mammoth killed by someone else, counting cats or deceiving bees, he could earn honor and respect.
Buffoons. Opposition to power
The etymology of this word is still not known, but historians tend to have a Byzantine origin - from "commarch" - to make funny. From the jesters of the "golden city" our buffoons adopted, first of all, a nomadic way of life, and the repertoire was full of Russian originality. Slaps and accusations rained down on them from all sides - the authorities did not like them for jokes and strong words addressed to them, and the clergy did not call them anything other than demons. Artists wore short-brimmed caftans - this was already considered a sin, they did not shy away from shameful songs and stories, but quite the contrary, they put on masks, frightening impressionable citizens. There was also a separate caste of city jesters - puppeteers. To show the performance, they put on a skirt with a hoop in the hem and lifted it up above their heads, and dressing a man women's clothing and it was completely inappropriate.
Ivan the Terrible loved buffoons. Often he even dressed himself as a jester and took part in the dances. It is no coincidence that the disgraced Archbishop Pimen was dressed up by him in a buffoon suit and sent away on a donkey with a tambourine in his hands.
Tambourines. Who does the tambourine sound like?
Now even Microsoft produces tambourines for especially advanced system administrators. And earlier… In Rus', any instrument in which the sound is extracted with the help of tightly stretched skin was called a tambourine - so some tambourines were not even tambourines at all, but drums. Musicians on this noisy instrument were valued in military affairs. To accompany the troops, huge alarms were made - each carried several horses, and 4 people beat him at once. Therefore, good tambourine makers have always been heard - all of a sudden they will be needed for public affairs. The master had to competently work with both leather and wood. For the rim, birch was best suited - a plank from it had to be soaked for a week before being wrapped in a ring. The skin of an animal, more often than not, of domestic cattle, was processed for a long time. By overdrying or rotting raw materials, the master risked making a far from melodic instrument.
Cat-hound, cat-cat. Who is hitting?
Now the army of "green" teeth would have bitten this person. BUT earlier people live more practically. A dog or a cat has become old - why not change it for a small but useful thing in the household? So such a peasant traveled around the villages with impunity, offering all sorts of little things in exchange for Zhuchek and Murok. If you came across villages, entirely consisting of lovers of pets, the cat-hound could also steal a gaping little animal. Cheap kolotkovy (cat) and sentry (dog) fur was used for sewing clothes. There is a well-known proverb that this businessman allegedly repeated while doing the dirty part of his work: “I don’t beat - the owner beats!”.
Bortniki. Proper honey
The fact that "Wh-w-w!" It happens for a reason, people understood a long time ago. Honey has always been both a delicacy and a medicine. Only not everyone was eager to climb into the hollow to the bees. And those who agreed soon emerged as a separate profession. Wild honey hunters had to not only know the forest and notice all sorts of little things, but also climb trees well - the hollows where the swarm settled could be at an impressive height. Well, then someone realized that, in fact, you can slip a piece of log with a hollowed out hole into the bees, and you don’t need to look. This log was called "bort", hence the name of the profession. Having made this first "hive", the master put his brand on it, claiming the contents as his property. Thieves were fiercely hated, a honey thief caught at a strange side risked forever remaining in the forest.
Catal. Get smarter!
These craftsmen were especially valued in the North, where there was simply no life without felt boots. This winter shoe has long been called kataniki. Despite the fact that there are a lot of funny ditties about felt boots, the work of the manufacturer was considered difficult and harmful. I had to work in stuffy and damp conditions. Sheep wool was cleaned of dirt and grass, laid out and "beaten". Previously, they simply beat with a stick, then with a low-hanging string. She was pulled like a bowstring and released. The wool was broken "to smithereens" - hence, by the way, this expression came from. Then the "down and dust" was laid out in the form of the letter "T", swept away and boiled. Now this is called wet felting. There was also a fashion. Some preferred felt boots with a very high narrow top, others - shorter and wider. Only a super-professional could do it exactly “on the leg”.
Bone cutters. Why does a fish need a tooth?
“The fish tooth is expensive, the cutouts are cut out, and only the ant can pass through the cutout.” The necromagic charm of bones did not leave our ancestors indifferent. Cups from enemy skulls were willingly used by the grand dukes - well, before the adoption of Christianity, of course. Then they switched to less provocative material - tubular cow bones, walrus tusks - the notorious fish teeth. And, and if anyone was lucky enough to find the fossil remains of mammoths with huge tusks, then they were used. This task required great patience and remarkable talent. Over time, this craft became small-town - several areas stood out, famous for their products. The caskets of the Kholmogory people were very fond of Catherine I, she also kept two images carved from bone - in gold and silver frames. Masters skillfully adapted to the requirements of the buyer. Under Peter I, they quickly learned how to make fashionable things: miniature playing cards, powder boxes, tiny chess sets, fly boxes and even carved shoes. Cinderella would die of envy!
Animals. Animals in the court
Hunting has always been one of the main male pastimes. But the leader must not be allowed to whisper: “Akela missed!”, Therefore, it was necessary to poison the beast wisely. These "minds" were called beastmen. They had to choose the right place and time, and then, as if by chance, drive the game right on right person. Sometimes for this it was necessary to live in the forest for a long time, observing its laws.
However, later this knowledge came in handy in an unexpected way. Russian tsars suddenly began to breed zoos. It’s just that sometimes overseas guests gave various curiosities - lions, leopards, elephants, peacocks. But in our climate, they needed special conditions and care. It was then that they remembered the fur hunters, who could "smell the soul" of the animal. So the amazing creatures were preserved, and the workers lived comfortably, combining the duties of providing hunts and caretakers of the menageries.
Travelers, inventors, philanthropists, millionaires and simply handsome people!
Brian May is a rock and roll legend, astrophysicist and animal rights activist.
Real men don't eat meat. When the band's guitarist Queen Brian May learned about how the meat industry works, he stopped eating meat and became the voice of those who cannot speak.
He still cares about four-legged creatures, especially badgers (shooting of these animals is allowed in the UK for population control purposes). He also has a degree in astrophysics.
May worked on his dissertation at Imperial College London, but when the band Queen, in which he was a guitarist and songwriter, gained popularity, he left the academic career. Subsequently, Queen with his participation became one of the most famous rock bands in history. May returned to Imperial College in 2006, received his degree, then went on to work as a visiting research astronomer, and later the chancellor of Liverpool's John Moores University. He is the co-author of two books: Big Bang! Full history Universe” and “A Village Lost and Found” (A Village Lost and Found) - the latter is inspired by his passion for stereo photography.

They did come for another month, and at the end of the journey ended up in a small village, where Mykosky noticed that most of the children were running around barefoot because their parents couldn't afford to buy shoes. When he returned, he founded TOMS, which sells a pair of shoes and sends another pair to children in need. Now the company sells coffee and sunglasses in the same way.
He was born in Texas and didn't even finish high school, although you can’t tell from his mind and erudition. He is 38 years old. The businessman may sometimes look like a hippie, but Mykosky is a bit of a dandy at heart - he admitted to a weakness for Ralph Lauren clothes. Mykosky loves sports and plays polo and golf, and also practices yoga. Now he is running a coffee shop in New York.

Vladimir Putin
Vladimir Putin rules Russia with an iron fist and brings down opponents both on the mat and in politics.
Putin took the helm of Russia in 1999, and has since shown that his abilities go beyond running the country. He also knows how to ride a motorcycle, play hockey and hunt endangered animals.
The position of president does not fetter Putin; on the contrary, it is an occasion to show off.

Quinton Jackson, nicknamed Rampage, gives out knockouts both in the ring and on the set.
Quinton Jackson is a real man and he knows it. In the ring, he is known as Rampage (translated from English riot, fury), and, wanting to perpetuate this nickname, Jackson gave it to all three sons as a middle name.
The fighter's muscle and fame made him the perfect candidate for the role of Baracus in the A-Team remake, where Jackson starred with Bradley Cooper and Liam Neeson. Cooper called Jackson "the best possible Baracus", but Quinton himself said after filming that he regretted taking his mind off the fight for the sake of the movie, because "there is something gay in acting."
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Jackson said:
“They comb your hair and throw a coat over your shoulders, as soon as the breeze blows. I don't need a coat! I'm not a sissy, I'm cool!
Jackson is now acting as a protective hero in children's comics.

Once, at a concert by a band called Whizzy, where he played the trumpet and rapped, Dinklage was kneed in the head, but he continued to perform, although he has since been left with a scar from his eyebrow to his neck. And when he was giving a speech at his alma mater, one of the students on the way to the stage thrust a flail made from an artichoke into his hands.
Whatever Dinklage did, he inevitably became a sex symbol of sorts. Even his Game of Thrones co-star Lena Headey says he's "pretty damn attractive."
Jonathan Miller
Jonathan Miller, knight and physician, left medicine to write and direct plays, operas and comedies
Sir Jonathan Miller received his M.D. University of Cambridge. He dreamed of becoming a doctor, but "the comedy threw him off course." When a satire show he co-created with four other comedians suddenly developed a large following, he received an offer to write and direct. So he left medicine for the entertainment industry (not exactly what his parents dream of).
He may be an old grumbler to his children, but he's definitely the best grumbler in the world. From productions comedy shows Miller moved on to the theater, and then to the opera, where he also succeeded, without even knowing musical notation. He was knighted in 2002 for services to music and other arts. In fact, he could have been recognized for his contribution to medicine - in between the work of a screenwriter and director, Miller managed to do research and wrote a number of books, including Darwin for Beginners, Exploring the Body, and a biography of Freud.

He is the director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York and has both a personal and a professional interest in the universe. Tyson is the author of 10 books, hosts the StarTalk Radio podcast, and hosted the 13th Emmy-nominated series Space: Space and Time.

By nature he is a rebel; he once changed the spelling of his name from "Yannis" to "Yanis" just to annoy an elderly teacher he didn't like. He dresses much more freely than his colleagues and peers and often prefers a leather jacket to a suit and tie. The same character traits show up in the way he talks about the Greek economy. His position changes almost every day, but he predicts trends like a clairvoyant.

Mortensen can also be called a horse charmer. He is an experienced rider. Having become attached to the horses he worked with in the films The Lord of the Rings and Hidalgo, he bought them back after filming was completed.
Jonathan Goldsmith
An innocent baby is born. His parents give him a name that will accompany him to the gravestone. According to scientists, a person hears his name approximately 1.5 million times in his life!
Mystery of the name
The ancients attached great importance to the name of a person. They believed that character, inclinations, talents, health and further fate child. Therefore, sometimes the children were given the most strange names, which you can only imagine: Oak, Eagle, Snake, Lubomir, Chaste, He who brings good news, Bright, Like a lion and many others.
Modern astrologers represent a whole science of meaning and their influence on karma. They argue that a name can be both a blessing and a curse.
The hidden influence of a person's name on fate is also confirmed by scientists, explaining that it consists of sounds of a certain height that irritate significant areas of the brain, thus affecting both the bearer of the name and others. In addition, a certain color corresponds to the wavelength of sound vibrations, which means that the name is not black and white, but has a certain color, which also affects the character of its owner.
Unusual male names in the USSR
The strangest male names appeared during the Soviet era. In those years, ideology played a huge role, so patriotic parents abandoned the old philistine names. They marked their sons with neologisms born October Revolution, success Soviet heroes, scientific discoveries, honorary professions: Potassium, Wolfram, Comrade, Median, Locomotive, Decembrist, Atheist, Tankman and others.
But the parents showed real creativity by inventing names as derivatives of slogans, revolutionary appeals, party leaders: Arvil (the army of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin), Vedlen (Lenin's great deeds), Kukutsapol (corn is the king of the fields), Vist (the historical power of labor is great), Villur (Vladimir Ilyich Lenin loved the Motherland), Papir (party pyramid), Vors (Voroshilov arrows) or Divide (Lenin's affairs are alive) and many others. The imagination of the people was inexhaustible!
Some of the strangest boy names even sound obscene. At modern people they evoke interesting associations: Wil (Vladimir Ilya Lenin), Constipation (for order), Pervsovstrat (the first Soviet stratospheric balloon), Thief (Great Pofivstal (the winner of the Nazis, Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin).
These strange names in the USSR were proudly worn by children. Over time, the pathos of the era subsided, but new generations still remained marked by history, which was already embodied in the unusual and sonorous patronymics of the children of those who were called, say, Osdvar (a special Far Eastern army) and Roblen (born to be Lenin).
Unusual female names in the USSR
were awarded sonorous names in the style of the era and girls. They were proudly named: Omega, Drezina, Iskra, Traktorina, Stalin, Artak (artillery academy), Velira (great worker), Lagshmivara (Schmidt's camp in the Arctic), Gertrud Diner (child new era) or another version of Doner (daughter of a new era), Krarmiya (red army), Lapanalda (Papanin camp on an ice floe), Raytiya (district printing house), Bestrazhev (Beria - guard of the revolution) and others.
Somehow inconvenient for the modern ear are the female names of the 20s of the USSR - Dazdrasmyga (long live the bond between the city and the countryside) or as a variant of Dazdraperma (long live the first of May) or Nixerha (Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev).
I wonder how all these names sounded in a diminutive version?
There are many amazing male names in the world
There are fans of creativity in all countries of the world. The desire to stand out from the crowd, to pass for the original, to express themselves pushes parents to give the boys the strangest names:
Lennon - in honor of the famous John Lennon, he named his son Lazma Gellaher.
Gulliver is the name of G. Oldman's son.
Homer - in honor ancient Greek philosopher named heir Richard Gere.
Dandelion is the name of the son of Keith Richards.
Blue Angel is a strange name given by Dave Evans to his boy.
Jet Plane is not a nickname, it is the legally registered name of John Travolta's son.
Ocean - decided that this name would make his son as strong as the ocean. By the way, the name of daddy is translated into Russian as "forest".
Pilot inspector - such a name in honor of the hero famous song worn by a descendant of Jason Lee.
Hooray - optimistically and joyfully named his newborn son Alex James.
Baby - David Duchovny gave such affectionate name to his son. But the son has grown up and reluctantly responds to him.
Interestingly, the strangest names in the world are given to their babies by star parents, while among the rest they are popular. traditional names- Jack, Sam, Nick, Tom and William.
Women's names of the world, causing surprise and even bewilderment
Little Trixie is the name of Bob Geldof's daughter.
Apple - named their beauty and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Hazelnut - Julia Roberts meant something when she gave this original name to his daughter.
Honey Blossom is the name given to his little princess by Bob Geldof.
Bell-Madonna - this unusual double name Gerry Halliwell named her daughter.
The Goddess of Love names her heiress Lil Mo.
Heavenly - Michael Hutchence named his daughter in the spirit of the American Indians.
Ireland is Alec Baldwin's heiress.
Far from all the strangest female names in the world are listed. Original parents christen their children with names celestial bodies, cities, states and countries, book, movie and cartoon characters, names of flowers, trees and animals.
No comment
These are really the strangest names!
Most long name on the planet consists of almost 1500 letters. It takes 10 minutes to read it. Prior to this, the longest name belonged to an American and consisted of 598 letters.
The name of a schoolgirl in Hawaii from 102 letters could not be recorded in the classroom journal.
The well-known Picasso lost. His full name is only 93 letters long!
The American Jackson family loves their children very much. That's probably why they gave them the names Tonsillitis, Laryngitis, Meningitis, Appendicitis, and Peritonitis.
Another couple named their daughters Wu, Gu, Mu.
The ideological Jennifer Thornburg at the age of 19 took the name "Put an End to Anatomy".
The strangest names in Russia
Officially, from 2009 to 2012, which the Russians gave to their offspring were registered:
Boys: Azar, Andres, Aristarkh, Garib, Gus, Mahmudahmadinejad, Prahlada (yes, that's what the boy was called), Cassper Beloved, Luke-and-Happiness, Arkhip-Ural, Hero, Aladdin, Ogneslav.
Girls: Russia, Zhuzha, twins Zita and Gita, Viagra, Privatization, Angel-Maria, Princess, Queen, Juno, Joy, Fun, Almaza, Brilliantina.
The right choice of name
The vanity of parents can turn into serious problems for the child in life. A child can become an outcast among peers, resulting in all sorts of complexes, nervous breakdowns. All this imposes a great responsibility on parents who choose a name for their baby.
Psychologists advise:
Take into account the sound of the name along with the patronymic.
Do not give obligatory names to children: Count, Strongman, Beauty, etc.
Do not name children after their favorite characters. The name Harry Potter or Monster High is unlikely to appeal to an adult child.
It is undesirable to give children the names of historical figures. Such names as Napoleon or Pinochet may not be very loyally received by society.
Abroad, there is a linguistic name verification service. Specialists check that the planned name for the child sounds worthy in other languages of the world.
Each of us is unique in our own way, but there are people who definitely stand out from the crowd. The most interesting thing is that they are not fiction. Hollywood screenwriter, not characters fantasy novel, but living, real-life men. Only very, very unusual.
Siamese twins
On average, 1,000 Siamese twins are born in the world every year. most of these, doctors successfully separate even in infancy. But there are exceptions - if the internal organs are not duplicated, then you have to either sacrifice the life of one of the children, or leave it as it is. On October 29, 2014, the Galion brothers, Donnie and Ronnie, became the longest-lived pair of conjoined Siamese twins. They were born back in 1951 and are forced to live with each other - a unique case in the history of medicine.
Strongman
Sajjad Gharibi, aka "Iranian Hulk" is a professional powerlifter, strongman and one of the most big people on the planet. Sajjad trains with weights from 180 kg, which exceeds his own weight. The most surprising thing is that he is only 24 years old, so the peak physical form and the heyday of fame is yet to come, although he is already known far beyond the borders of his native country.
Patrick Dewell
According to one version - the heaviest man in history, whose weight in certain years reached half a ton. Patrick was distinguished by an immoderate appetite and preferred unhealthy food, so the doctors were virtually powerless. It’s not that they didn’t try - once, with the help of rescuers, they even destroyed the wall of the bedroom, built a special crane and transported an unusual patient to the hospital, miraculously finding suitable transport. There, he underwent a gastric bypass, which allowed him to reduce his body weight to 250 kg. Alas, not for long - by the next year, Patrick again gained weight up to 400 kg and in April 2016 gave his soul to God.
Jason Hernandez
A 20-year-old guy from Venezuela is not at all happy with his uniqueness, because it is not cheap. As a teenager, he wore a pair of shoes every few weeks, and could only wear the softest options. Due to an overactive pituitary gland, Hernandez's feet are disproportionately large and reach 46 cm in length. Today, he wears size 56 shoes from a German company that specializes in custom equipment. Hernandez is officially listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the owner of the largest feet in the world.
Amu Haji
He is about 60 years old and has never washed. More precisely, for more than half a century, the Iranian Hadji refuses to follow the rules of hygiene, but at the same time he lives and is quite healthy. His skin resembles scales, his features are not visible under a layer of dirt, and the smell is such that he repels both curious and germs. It is not known for certain why he leads such a lifestyle and how he survives, but the existence of the dirtiest person on the planet is a documented fact.
