Fascist swastika symbol. The real history of the swastika

Many legends and speculations have accumulated around this ancient symbol, so someone may be interested in reading about this ancient solar cult symbol.


In fact, I, who grew up in the USSR, had a prejudiced attitude towards the swastika as a fascist sign. But is this really so? The swastika is one of the most archaic sacred symbols, found among many peoples of the world. Swastika symbols were used to designate calendar signs back in the days of the Scythian kingdom.

Many people nowadays Swastika associated with fascism and Hitler. This has been hammered into people's heads for the last 70 years. It's time to fix the situation.
In modern schools, and even in lyceums and gymnasiums in Russia, modern children are told a rather crazy hypothesis that the Swastika is a German fascist cross made up of four letters “G”, denoting the first letters of the leaders of Nazi Germany: Hitler, Himmler, Goering and Goebbels (sometimes he is replaced by Hess). Well, variations on this theme, Germany Hitler Goebbels Himmler. At the same time, few children think about the fact that German surnames: HITLER, HIMMLER, GERING, GEBELS (HESS), no Russian letters "G". I don’t know what they pass off as truth in Western schools, but I’m more than sure that there, too, the swastika is primarily a fascist symbol.Unfortunately, the true meaning of this runic symbol has been overwritten by this stereotype over the past 70 years. At the same time, from time immemorial, the swastika was an integral part of the Slavic ornament.

Moreover, without wanting to look into the depths of centuries, you can find more intelligible examples. Not many people remember that the Swastika was depicted on Soviet money in the period from 1917 to 1923 as a legalized state symbol; not immediately noticeable, but it is a fact. She's in the center.

As you can see, Soviet power is already 18.

Have no doubt, before the stars she was no less popular.

And not only on Russian money it was. Here are the Lithuanian five litas.

They also forgot that the sleeve patches of soldiers and officers of the Red Army during the same period also had the Swastika in laurel wreath, and inside the Swastika were the letters R.S.F.S.R. And how can we remember when almost 100 years have passed since then? That is, one must not remember, but know.

There is a hypothesis that the Golden Swastika-Kolovrat was given to Adolf Hitler by Comrade I.V. Stalin himself as a party symbol in 1920. But this may have already been invented, I’m not sure.

Well, for balance, American troops of the 1930s. 45th Infantry Division.

And the famous Lafayette flying division.



There were also Finnish, Polish and Latvian swastika patches. If you are interested, you can find them all on the Internet yourself.

A thoughtful and not stupid person will always distinguish a swastika painted on the grave of a veteran from a swastika in an ethnic ornament.

The antics of neo-fascists and just bastards who paint black crosses on the tombstones of the Old Jewish Cemetery in Riga cannot in any way be attributed to ethnic rituals. And yet, with all my uncompromising attitude towards fascism and the results of the war and a rather biased attitude towards the swastika, I decided to dig up information on this topic. But since we’ve touched on the most famous interpretation of this symbol today, let’s talk about fascism itself.
The term Fascism comes from the Latin "fascio" ligament, bundle. In Russian, a similar word is fascina - a bunch of branches, twigs. Fashina symbolizes something strong, reliable, created from something weak and fragile. Remember the parable about the fingers, which are each weak on their own, but when clenched into a fist they represent strength. Or a historical example when you can easily break each arrow, but it is impossible to do this with a whole bunch.

“The Roman soldiers of Julius Caesar, who conquered Egypt, began to call themselves the first fascists. (In many ways, their methods were quite fascist in the modern sense) In the image of the Medjays, the Romans believed that they were bringing order and law to the barbarian country. The symbol of the emperor’s power was considered a military an ax covered with a bunch of rods and intertwined with ribbons, which was called fascina. The symbolism is that around strong power (axe), through small restrictions (ribbon), peoples (rods) will grow stronger." (c) But let’s return to the swastika sign, the runic solar symbol.

We will return to the symbolism of the Third Reich towards the end of the publication. In the meantime, let's look at the swastika without shudder or prejudice. Let's try to get rid of the contemptuous look at this ancient symbol of eternal rotation.

I decided to distance myself from the presentation of this topic by new Russian preachers. It is impossible to deny the fact that the ancient Slavic traditions used the solar sign of the swastika, but their approach was very intrusive. In order not to slide into the opposite direction of misconceptions, let’s look at the swastika a little more broadly.

Considering that not everyone can handle long texts, I decided to show the collected examples to rehabilitate the sign itself. Let's just pay attention to the diversity of swastikas in cultures different nations. This should be enough to understand the essence.

Let's start, perhaps, with the universe. Find the Big Dipper, and to the left of it you will see the constellation in the form of the Swastika. I don’t know if this is true, but now it is excluded from their atlases of the starry sky. This is what they say in the articles. I haven't checked it myself, it's not that important.


Doesn't it look like a spiral galaxy?
And here are the runic symbols of the ancestors. There are also many examples and interpretation options.

And India, where the swastika is very common.

Even in the jungle you can find a swastika.

What do you think is in the picture? This is a fragment of the robe of an Orthodox priest of the highest church rank.

Do you still believe that the swastika was invented by the fascists of Nazi Germany?

Do you recognize anyone in this picture? The Russian Emperor hurries to his car.

But you are not looking at the king, but at the hood of the car. Found it? The appearance of the swastika at the court of the last Russian Tsar is associated with the name of his wife, Alexandra Fedorovna. Perhaps here the influence of the doctor Pyotr Badmaev on the empress was manifested. Buryat by origin, Lamaist, Badmaev preached Tibetan medicine and maintained connections with Tibet. There are known images of the gammatic cross on hand-drawn postcards of the Empress.

“The left-sided swastika had a special meaning in the royal family and was used as a talisman and as a symbolic reflection of the king’s personality. Before the execution, the former empress drew a swastika on the wall of Ipatiev’s house and wrote something. The image and inscription were photographed and then destroyed. The owner of this photograph was the leader of the white movement in exile, General Alexander Kutepov. In addition, Kutepov kept the icon found on the body of the former empress. Inside the icon there was a note in which the Green Dragon society was mentioned. Strange telegrams signed “Green” were received from Sweden by Grigory Rasputin. The Greens,” akin to the Thule society, is located in Tibet. Before Hitler came to power, there lived a Tibetan lama in Berlin, nicknamed “the man with green gloves.” Hitler regularly visited him and the Lama reported to the newspapers three times without errors how many Nazis would be elected to the Reichstag. The initiates called the lama “the holder of the keys to the kingdom of Agharti.” In 1926, still small colonies of Tibetans and Hindus appeared in Berlin and Munich. When the Nazis gained access to the Reich's finances, they began to send large expeditions to Tibet, this vital connection was not interrupted until 1943. On the day when Soviet troops ended the battle for Berlin, among the corpses of the last defenders of Nazism, about a thousand bodies of death volunteers, people of Tibetan blood, were found. (c)

In July 1918, immediately after the execution of the royal family, the White Army troops occupied Yekaterinburg. First of all, the officers hurried to the Ipatiev House - the last refuge of the august persons. There, among other things, they saw signs familiar from the icons - crosses with curved ends. It was a left-turning, so-called collective swastika - “amulet”. As it turned out later, it was painted by Empress Alexandra Feodorovna.

It is for these signs that ignorant London reviewers of the film about the Romanovs will later dub her the “fascist Brünnhilde,” unaware of the ancient Christian Indian traditions of leaving the swastika where the attributes of any holiday are removed after its completion, so that evil does not penetrate there. The Empress consecrated the house with an “amulet”, anticipating the end of the celebration of life...(c)

The geography is expanding.
In India, the Swastika is a symbol of esoteric Buddhism. According to legend, it was imprinted on the heart of Buddha, for which it received the name “Seal of the Heart.”

Let's look into the history of the spread of the swastika.
"Together with one branch of the Indo-European tribes that moved from the southern regions of the Russian Plain in a southeastern direction and reached through Mesopotamia and Central Asia to the Indus Valley, the swastika entered the cultures of the eastern peoples.
It was common on painted pottery from ancient Susiana (Mesopotamian Elam on the east coast Persian Gulf- III millennium BC) - on bowls, where it was placed in the very center of the composition. This is perhaps a typical example when the swastika was used by the most ancient non-Indo-European people. The signs were symmetrically located relative to a rectangle crossed out by an oblique cross indicating the ground.
Somewhat later, the swastika began to be used by Semitic peoples: the ancient Egyptians and Chaldeans, whose state was located on the western shore of the Persian Gulf.

If desired, you can even find a combination of a swastika and the six-pointed star of Magendovid in the ornament.

With the same wave of Indo-Europeans in the middle of the second millennium BC. The swastika penetrated into the culture of North India. There it successfully existed until our time, but acquired a mystical meaning.

In the most general interpretation, the swastika is considered by Indians to be a symbol of movement and the eternal rotation of the world - the “circle of samsara.” This symbol was supposedly imprinted on the Buddha's heart and is therefore sometimes called the "Seal of the Heart". It is placed on the chest of those initiated into the mysteries of Buddhism after their death. It is carved on every rock, temple, and wherever the founders of Buddhism left their milestones.

Later, the swastika penetrates into Tibet, then into Central Asia and China. Another century later, the swastika comes to Japan and Southeast Asia together with Buddhism, which made it its symbol."

Together with Buddhism from India, the swastika penetrated into Tibet and Japan. In Japan, the swastika symbol is called Manji. Manji can be seen on samurai flags, armor, and family crests.

Along with North America and the east of Eurasia is marked with a solar sign and a Japanese man wearing a manji-decorated helmet.

And here is Buddha himself.

At this point it was possible to put an end to it. For a general understanding that there is nothing bad in the swastika itself, these examples are already enough. But we'll look at a few more. The East generally preserves its history more carefully and observes traditions. Pagoda tower with golden swastika, solar sign.

Isn’t this an example of the fact that the solar Kolovrat is not just an ornament of a decorative nature, but a sacred symbol that has a deep sacred meaning. That’s why we can see it on a Buddhist mandala.

And on the sacred stupa

Modern Nepal

The Kolovrat swastika is also imprinted on the tusks of mammoths. Under the golden Kolovrat on a scarlet banner, the legendary Prince Svyatoslav marched on Constantinople and beat the Khazars. This radiant symbol was used by pagan Magi (priests) in rituals associated with the ancient Slavic Vedic Faith, and is still embroidered by Vyatka, Kostroma,
Vologda needlewomen.

In early Christianity, the swastika was known as a gambrel cross; until the end of the Middle Ages it was one of the emblems of Christ; it could often be found on Orthodox icons. As an example, a swastika on a headdress Mother of God icons called "Sovereign". Remember the ornament on the festive robe of the Orthodox priest above? From there.


According to legend, Genghis Khan wore on his right hand a ring with the image of a swastika, into which was set a magnificent ruby ​​- the sun stone. In the oldest synagogue in Israel, a Swastika is depicted on the floor, although it is believed that the Jews are almost the only tribe that does not consider the swastika a sacred symbol.

The Swastika again became popular in European culture in the 19th century. It began to be used everywhere in ornamentation as a sign of Light, Sun, Love, Life. There was even an interpretation that the Swastika symbol must be understood as an abbreviation of four words starting with the Latin letter “L”: Light - Light, Sun; Love - Love; Life - Life; Luck - Fate, Luck, Happiness. This is already its modern interpretation, without signs of a pagan cult.


Here is a very old "fossil" example of a swastika.


The swastika currently appears on the Finnish presidential standard.


And it can be found on the map of modern America...

Disputes about the origin of the swastika have not subsided for many years. Its fragments have been found on almost all continents in the cultures of Hinduism, Lamaism, and Christianity. Today it is believed that this sign originates from the ancient religion of the Aryans - Indo-Europeans. Its first images on Aryan altars and burials, Harappan seals and weapons, and Samarian bowls date back to the 30th century BC. It was excavated in the Urals, the same age as the pyramids of Egypt, with a street layout in the form of a round swastika mandala with an altar in the center.

What did the swastika mean? This is an Aryan symbol of the unity of the heavenly forces of fire and wind with the altar - the place where these heavenly forces merge with earthly ones. Therefore, the altars of the Aryans were decorated with swastikas and were revered as saints, protected from evil. The name "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit term "suasti" - "prosperity under the Sun", and the swastika mandala - from the concept of "wheel", "disk", or "circle of eternity", divided into sectors. In China and Japan, swastika characters mean wishes for longevity under the Sun.

In the mid-20th century, the swastika became one of the main tools in the confrontation between civilizations. And this was reflected not only in the mass use of the symbol as a “marker” of certain forces, but also in the active esoteric and mystical technology of application. This aspect was dealt with by special communities of the 3rd Reich, primarily the Ahnenerbe. The swastika was used as a universal tool for contact and remote mental coding of individuals and groups, volitional projection onto a geographic region, the formation of events (of a given type of future), etc. Not all manipulations with the swastika produced the expected effect, but the degree of effectiveness and nature of use are not generally known information. This side of the 2nd World War still keeps its secrets.
In general, there are a great many swastikas.

But how did the swastika become the personification of fascism?

Created in 1921 according to the sketches of Adolf Hitler, the party symbols and flag of the NSDAP (National Socialist German Workers' Party) subsequently became the state symbols of Germany (1933-1945). It is possible that Hitler, when choosing the swastika as an emblem, was guided by the theory of the German geopolitician Karl Haushofer, who believed that the swastika was a symbol of thunder, fire and fertility among the ancient Aryan magicians.

It was Haushofer who came up with the expression: “Space as a factor of force,” which Hitler borrowed from him. In the mind of Hitler himself, the swastika symbolized the “struggle for the triumph of the Aryan race.” By this time, the Swastika was already actively used by Austrian anti-Semitic organizations.

At the same time, the Nazi salute “Sieg” was adopted. “Ziga” (“sieg” - victory) is a gesture of greeting the Sun: from the heart to the Sun dear right hand, the palm of the left hand lies inside on the stomach, forming a zig-rune. After 1933, the swastika finally began to be perceived as a Nazi symbol, as a result of which it was excluded from the emblem of the scout movement. Kipling removed the swastika from the covers of his books.

"In the modern world, as before, a special toolkit - graphic symbolism - is widely used to purposefully influence the feelings, thoughts and desires of people. The history of the use of symbols is as deep as the history of homo sapiens. And in this history, a special place is occupied by the idea of ​​​​searching for someone universal key, magic sign, having mastered it, it becomes possible to control not only a person, but also entire nations. How realistic is this idea?
The answer is related to the answer to another question: what does the world we live in consist of? They have been asked for thousands of years outstanding thinkers, it remains relevant in the modern world. In the era of antiquity, the idea was popular that behind the diversity of objects and phenomena there were only a few fundamental principles - the elements: fire, water, earth, air, and the quintessence of these elements - ether. According to ancient teachings, all known objects and phenomena are formed from these substances, and the system-forming process is the interaction of the world of ideas and the world of elements. The world of ideas in this case is like “grand software” for the Universe. This interpretation of the structure of the world allows for the materialization of ideas into certain monads through a special substance - the substance of pure information - capable of modifying any object in the material world. Maybe this is how the meaning of the mysterious “philosopher’s stone” should be understood.
In this case, we define information as one of the primary principles, a kind of element. What are the elements of the world of ideas reflected in the form of substance? How will human consciousness perceive them? Apparently, in the form of symbols and signs. It is likely that a person’s internal mental space can be represented in the form of living symbols combined into texts. Having at their core the same nature - a single world of ideas in the Universe, people, regardless of race, era, linguistic culture, habitat, have the same primary symbolic structures in their mental structure. This point of view allows us to understand why, throughout the known history of human civilization, there are similar and even completely identical symbols used in almost all regions of the planet by a variety of peoples."

The publication used material from a dozen articles and publications.

The swastika symbol is a cross with curved ends directed clockwise or counterclockwise. As a rule, now all Swastika symbols are called in one word - SWASTIKA, which is fundamentally wrong, because In ancient times, each Swastika symbol had its own name, Protective Power and figurative meaning.

During archaeological excavations, Swastika symbolism was most often found on various details architecture, weapons, clothing, household utensils of many peoples of Eurasia. Swastika symbolism is found everywhere in ornamentation as sign of Light, Sun, Life. The oldest archaeological artifacts depicting the swastika date back to approximately 10-15 millennium BC. According to archaeological excavations, the richest territory in the use of the swastika, both a religious and cultural symbol, is Russia - neither Europe nor India can compare with Russia in the abundance of swastika symbols covering Russian weapons, banners, national costume, houses, everyday items and temples. Excavations of ancient mounds and settlements speak for themselves - many ancient Slavic settlements had a clear form of Swastika, oriented to the four cardinal directions. Swastika symbols denoted calendar signs back in the days of the Great Scythian Kingdom ( depicts a vessel from the Scythian Kingdom of 3-4 thousand BC.)

The swastika and Swastika symbols were the main and, one might even say, almost the only elements of the ancient pre-Slavic ornaments. But this does not mean at all that the Slavs and Aryans were bad artists. Firstly, there were a lot of varieties of images of Swastika symbols. Secondly, in ancient times, not a single pattern was applied just like that; each element of the pattern corresponded to a certain cult or protective (amulet) meaning.

But not only the Aryans and Slavs believed in magical power this pattern. This symbol was found on clay vessels from Samarra (the territory of modern Iraq), which date back to the 5th millennium BC. Swastika symbols in levorotatory and dextrorotatory forms are found in the pre-Aryan culture of Mohenjo-Daro (Indus River basin) and ancient China around 2000 BC. In Northeast Africa, archaeologists have found a funeral stele from the kingdom of Meroz, which existed in the 2nd-3rd centuries AD. The fresco on the stele depicts a woman entering into afterworld, on the clothes of the deceased there is a Swastika. The rotating cross adorns golden weights for scales that belonged to the inhabitants of Ashanta (Ghana), and clay utensils of the ancient Indians, beautiful carpets woven by the Persians and Celts.

Swastika in Beliefs and Religions

Swastika symbolism was a protective symbol among almost all peoples in Europe and Asia: among the Slavs, Germans, Pomors, Skalvi, Curonians, Scythians, Sarmatians, Mordovians, Udmurts, Bashkirs, Chuvash, Indians, Icelanders, Scots and many other peoples.

In many ancient Beliefs and religions, the Swastika is the most important and brightest cult symbol. Thus, in ancient Indian philosophy and Buddhism(pic. left: Buddha's Foot) The swastika is a symbol of the eternal cycle of the universe, a symbol of the Buddha's Law, to which all things are subject. (Dictionary “Buddhism”, M., “Republic”, 1992); V Tibetan Lamaism The swastika is a protective symbol, a symbol of happiness and a talisman. In India and Tibet, the Swastika is depicted everywhere: on the gates of temples, on every residential building, on the fabrics in which all sacred texts are wrapped, on funeral covers.

Lama Beru-Kinze-Rimpoche, in our time one of the greatest teachers of official Buddhism. The photograph shows the ritual of his creation of a ritual mandala., that is, pure space, in Moscow in 1993. In the foreground of the photograph is a thangka, a sacred image drawn on fabric, depicting the Divine space of the mandala. At the corners are Swastika symbols protecting the sacred Divine space.

As a religious symbol (!!!), the swastika has always been used by followers Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism in the East, Druids of Ireland, Scotland, Scandinavia, representatives Natural-religious denominations Europe and America in the West.

In Russia, Swastika symbols and elements are found among supporters of the Ancient Tribal and Vedic cults, as well as among the Orthodox Old Believers-Ynglings, professing the Faith of the First Ancestors - Ingliism, in the Slavic and Aryan communities of the Ancestral Circle and, wherever you think, among Christians

Swastika on the shield of Prophetic Oleg

For many, many millennia, the Slavs used the Swastika symbol. Our Ancestors depicted this symbol on weapons, banners, clothing, and on household and religious objects. Everyone knows that Prophetic Oleg nailed his shield to the gates of Constantinople (Constantinople), but few of the modern generation know what was depicted on the shield. However, descriptions of the symbolism of his shield and armor can be found in historical chronicles. Prophetic people, i.e., possessing the Gift of Spiritual Foresight and knowing the Ancient Wisdom that the Gods and Ancestors left to people, were endowed by the Priests with various symbols. One of these most notable people in history was the Slavic prince - Prophetic Oleg. In addition to being a prince and an excellent military strategist, he was also a Priest of High Initiation. The symbolism that was depicted on his clothes, weapons, armor and princely banner tells about this in all detailed images.
Fire Swastika(symbolizing the land of the Ancestors) in the center of the nine-pointed Star of England (symbol of the Faith of the First Ancestors) was surrounded by the Great Kolo (Circle of Patron Gods), which emitted eight rays of Spiritual Light (the eighth degree of Priestly initiation) to the Svarog Circle. All this symbolism spoke of enormous spiritual and physical strength, which is directed to the defense of the Motherland and the Holy Faith. When the Prophetic Oleg nailed his shield with such symbolism to the gates of Constantinople, he wanted to figuratively, clearly show the insidious and two-faced Byzantines what another Slavic prince Alexander Yaroslavovich (Nevsky) would later explain to the Teutonic knights in words: “ Whoever comes to us with a sword will die by the sword! On this stood, stands, and will stand the Russian Land!»

Swastika on money and in the Army

Under Tsar Peter I, the walls of his country residence were decorated with swastika patterns. The ceiling of the throne room in the Hermitage is also covered with these sacred symbols.

IN late XIX, early twentieth century, among the upper classes of European states in Western and Eastern Europe, as well as in Russia, Swastika(left) has become the most common and even fashionable symbol. This was influenced by the “Secret Doctrine” of H.P. Blavatsky and her Theosophical Society; The occult-mystical teachings of Guido von List, the German knightly Order of Thule and other spiritualist circles.

The common people, both in Europe and Asia, have used Swastika ornaments in everyday life for thousands of years, and only at the beginning of this century, interest in Swastika symbols appeared among those in power.

In young Soviet Russia sleeve patches Since 1918, the soldiers of the Red Army of the South-Eastern Front were decorated with a swastika, with the abbreviation R.S.F.S.R. inside. For example: the badge for command and administrative personnel was embroidered in gold and silver, and for the Red Army soldiers it was stenciled.

After the overthrow of the autocracy in Russia, the Swastika ornament appears on new banknotes of the Provisional Government, and after the coup of October 26, 1917, on Bolshevik banknotes.

Now few people know that the matrices of the 250 ruble banknote, with the image of the Swastika symbol - Kolovrat against the background of a double-headed eagle, were made according to a special order and sketches of the last Russian Tsar - Nicholas II.

Beginning in 1918, the Bolsheviks introduced new banknotes in denominations of 1000, 5000 and 10000 rubles, on which not one Kolovrat was depicted, but three. Two smaller Kolovrat in the side ties are intertwined with large numbers 1000 and a large Kolovrat in the middle.

Money with the Swastika-Kolovrat was printed by the Bolsheviks and was in use until 1923, and only after the formation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics were they taken out of circulation.

In national: Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian costumes, on sundresses, towels and other things, Swastika symbolism was the main and, practically, the only one of the existing ancient amulets and ornaments, until the first half of the twentieth century.

Our ancestors loved to gather on the outskirts of the village one summer evening and listen to the lingering chants of dance... a swastika. There was an analogue of the symbol in Russian dance culture - the Kolovrat dance. At the festival of Perun, the Slavs drove, and still drive, round dances around two burning swastikas: “Fasha” and “Agni” laid out on the ground.

Swastika in Christianity

“Kolovrat” richly decorated churches in the Russian lands; it shone brightly on the sacred objects of the Ancient Solar Cult of the Ancestors; and also on the white robes of the Priests of the Old Faith. And even on the robes of Christian clergy in the 9th-16th centuries. Swastika symbols were depicted. They decorated the Images and Kummiras of the Gods, frescoes, walls, icons, etc.


For example, on the fresco depicting Christ Pantocrator - the Pantocrator, in the St. Sophia Cathedral of the Novgorod Kremlin, the so-called left and right Swastika with short curved rays, but correctly “Charovrat” and “Salting” are placed directly on the chest of the Christian God, as symbols of the beginning and end of all things.

At the saint's rite in the St. Sophia Cathedral of the city of Kyiv, in the oldest Christian church built on the Russian land by Yaroslav the Wise, belts are depicted in which alternate: "Swastika", "Suasti" and straight Crosses. Christian theologians in the Middle Ages commented on this painting in the following way: “Swastika” symbolizes the first coming to the World of the Son of God Jesus Christ to save people from their sins; then the straight Cross - his earthly path, ending with suffering on Golgotha; and finally, the left Swastika - “Suasti”, symbolizes the resurrection of Jesus Christ and his second coming to Earth in Power and Glory.

In Moscow, in the Kolomna Church, the Beheading of John the Baptist, on the day of Tsar Nicholas II’s abdication from the throne, was discovered in the basement of the temple icon "Our Lady of Sovereign"(fragment on the left) on the headdress of the Christian Mother of God there is a Swastika Amulet symbol - “Fache”.

About this ancient icon they came up with many legends and rumors, for example: allegedly on the personal order of I.V. Stalin, a prayer service and religious procession were held on the front line, and thanks to this, the troops of the Third Reich did not take Moscow. Totally absurd. German troops did not enter Moscow for a completely different reason. Their road to Moscow was blocked by the people's militia and divisions of Siberians, filled with Spiritual Strength and Faith in Victory, and not very coldy, the leading force of the party and government, or some kind of icon. The Siberians not only repulsed all enemy attacks, but also went on the offensive and won the war, because the ancient principle lives in their hearts: “Whoever comes to us with a sword will die by the sword.”

In medieval Christianity, the Swastika also symbolized Fire and Wind.- the elements that embody the Holy Spirit. If the Swastika, even in Christianity, was truly considered a divine sign, then only unreasonable people can say that the Swastika is a symbol of fascism!
* For reference: Fascism in Europe existed only in Italy and Spain. And the fascists of these states did not have Swastika symbols. The swastika was used as a party and state symbol by Hitler’s Germany, which was not fascist, as it is interpreted now, but National Socialist. For those who doubt, read the article by I.V. Stalin "Hands off Socialist Germany." This article was published in the newspapers Pravda and Izvestia in the 30s.

Swastika as a talisman

Swatika was believed to be a talisman that “attracts” good luck and happiness. In Ancient Rus' it was believed that if you draw Kolovrat on your palm, you will definitely be lucky. Even modern students draw Swastikas on their palms before exams. Swastikas were also painted on the walls of houses so that happiness would reign there, in Russia, Siberia, and India.

In the Ipatiev House, where the family of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II was shot, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna painted all the walls with this divine symbol, but the Swastika did not help the Romanovs against the atheists; this dynasty did too much evil on Russian soil.

Nowadays, philosophers, dowsers and psychics offer build city blocks in the form of Swastikas- such configurations should generate positive energy, by the way, these conclusions have already been confirmed by modern science.

Origin of the word "Swastika"

The generally accepted name of the Solar symbol - Swastika, according to one version, comes from the Sanskrit word Suasti. Su- beautiful, kind, and asti- to be, that is, “Be good!”, or in our opinion, “All the best!” According to another version, this word has Old Slavic origin, which is more probable (which is confirmed by the archives of the Old Russian Ynglistic Church of the Orthodox Old Believers-Ynglings), since it is known that the Swastika symbolism in various variations, and its name, was brought to India, Tibet, China, and Europe by the ancient Aryans and Slavs. Tibetans and Indians still claim that the Swastika, this universal symbol of prosperity and happiness, was brought to them from the high northern mountains (Himalayas) by the White Teachers.

In ancient times, when our Ancestors used the X'Aryan Runes, the word Swastika ( see left) translated as Who Came from Heaven. Since Rune NVA meant Heaven (hence Svarog - Heavenly God), WITH— Rune of direction; Rune TIKA[last two runes] - movement, coming, flow, running. Our children still pronounce the word tick, i.e. to run, and we meet it in the words Arctic, Antarctic, mysticism, etc.

Ancient Vedic sources tell us that even our galaxy has the shape of a Swastika, and our Yarila-Sun system is located in one of the arms of this Heavenly Swastika. And since we are located in the galactic sleeve, our entire galaxy, its ancient name Swastika, is perceived by us as Perun’s Way or the Milky Way.

The ancient names of Swastika symbols in Russia are mainly preserved in the everyday life of Orthodox Old Believers-Yinglings and Righteous Old Believers-schismatics. In the East, among the followers of the Vedic Faith, where the Ancient Wisdom is recorded in the Holy Scriptures in ancient languages: and Kh’Aryan. In Kh'Aryan writing they use Runes in the form of Swastika(see text on the left).

Sanskrit, more correct Samskryt(Samskrita), i.e. Self-secretive, used by modern Indians, originated from ancient language Aryans and Slavs, it was created as a simplified version of the H'Aryan Karuna, for the preservation of the Ancient Vedas by the inhabitants of Dravidia (ancient India), and therefore ambiguous interpretations of the origin of the word “Swastika” are now possible, but after reading the materials given in this article, a smart person, whose consciousness has not yet had time to be completely filled with false stereotypes, it will be convinced of the undoubted ancient Slavic and ancient Aryan, which is actually the same thing, origin of this word.

If in almost all foreign languages ​​various designs of the Solar Cross with curved rays are called by one word Swastika - “Swastika”, then in the Russian language there were and still exist for various variants of Swastika symbols 144 (!!!) titles, which also speaks about the country of origin of this Solar symbol. For example: Swastika, Kolovrat, Posolon, Holy Gift, Svasti, Svaor, Svaor-Solntsevrat, Agni, Fash, Mara; Inglia, Solar Cross, Solard, Vedara, Light Flyer, Fern Flower, Perunov Color, Swati, Race, Godman, Svarozhich, Yarovrat, Odolen-Grass, Rodimich, Charovrat etc. Among the Slavs, depending on the color, length, direction of the curved ends of the Solar Cross, this symbol was called differently and had different figurative and protective meanings (see).

Swastika Runes

Various variations of Swastika symbols, with no less different meanings, are found not only in cult and amulet symbols, but also in the form of Runes, which, like letters in ancient times, had their own figurative meaning. So, for example, in the ancient Kh'Aryan Karuna, i.e. In the runic alphabet, there were four runes depicting the Swastika elements.


Runa Fash– had a figurative meaning: a powerful, directed, destructive Fire flow (thermonuclear fire)…
Rune Agni– had figurative meanings: the Sacred Fire of the hearth, as well as the Sacred Fire of Life located in the human body and other meanings...
Rune Mara– had a figurative meaning: the Ice Flame protecting the Peace of the Universe. The rune of transition from the World of Revealing to the World of Light Navi (Glory), incarnation in the New Life... Symbol of Winter and Sleep.
Rune England– had the figurative meaning of the Primary Fire of Creation of the Universe, from this Fire many different Universes and various forms of Life appeared...

Swastika symbols carry a huge secret meaning. They contain enormous Wisdom. Each Swastika symbol opens before us Great picture of the universe. Ancient Slavic-Aryan Wisdom says that our galaxy is shaped like a Swastika and is called SVATI, and the Yarila-Sun system, in which our Midgard-Earth makes its way, is located in one of the branches of this Heavenly Swastika.

Knowledge of Ancient Wisdom does not accept a stereotypical approach. The study of ancient symbols, Runic writings and ancient Traditions must be approached with an open heart and with a pure Soul. Not for profit, but for knowledge!

Is the swastika a fascist symbol?

Swastika symbols in Russia were used not only by the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks for political purposes; much earlier than them, representatives of the Black Hundred began to use the Swastika. Nowadays, Swastika symbolism is used by Russian National Unity. Knowledgeable person never says that the Swastika is a German or fascist symbol. Only foolish and ignorant people say this, because they reject what they are not able to understand and know, and also try to pass off what they want as reality. But if ignorant people reject some symbol or some information, this still does not mean that this symbol or information does not exist. Denial or distortion of the truth to please some disrupts the harmonious development of others. Even the ancient symbol of the Greatness of the Fertility of the Mother of the Raw Earth, called in ancient times - SOLARD (see above), and now used by the Russian National Unity, is considered by some incompetent people to be German-fascist symbols, a symbol that appeared many hundreds of thousands of years before the emergence of German National Socialism. At the same time, it does not even take into account the fact that SOLARD in the Russian National Unity is combined with the eight-pointed Star of Lada-Virgin Mary (image 2), where the Divine Forces (Golden Field), the Forces of the Primary Fire (red), the Heavenly Forces (blue) and the Forces of Nature (green) came together. The only difference between the original Symbol of Mother Nature and the sign that is used by the social movement “Russian National Unity” is the multicolored nature of the Original Symbol of Mother Nature and the two-colored one of the representatives of Russian National Unity.

Swastika – feather grass, hare, horse...

U ordinary people Swastika symbols had their own names. In the villages of the Ryazan province it was called “ feather grass" - the embodiment of the Wind; on Pechora " hare“- here the graphic symbol was perceived as a piece of Sunlight, a ray, a sunbeam; in some places the Solar Cross was called “ horse", "horse shank" (horse head), because a long time ago the horse was considered a symbol of the Sun and Wind; were called Swastika-Solyarniks and “ Ognivtsy", again, in honor of Yarila the Sun. The people very correctly felt both the Fiery, Flaming Nature of the symbol (Sun) and its Spiritual essence (Wind).

The oldest master of Khokhloma painting, Stepan Pavlovich Veselov (1903-1993) from the village of Mogushino, Nizhny Novgorod region, observing traditions, painted the Swastika on wooden plates and bowls, calling it “ saffron milk cap“, the Sun, and explained: “It’s the wind that shakes and moves the blade of grass.” In the above fragments you can see Swastika symbols even on such household appliances used by Russian people as a spinning wheel and a cutting board.

In the villages, to this day, on holidays, women wear elegant sundresses and shirts, and men wear blouses embroidered with swastika symbols various shapes. They bake lush loaves and sweet cookies, decorated on top with Kolovrat, Posolon, Solstice and other swastika patterns.

Prohibition of the use of Swastikas

As mentioned earlier, before the onset of the second half of the 20th century, the main and almost the only patterns and symbols that existed in Slavic embroidery were Swastika ornaments. But the enemies of the Aryans and Slavs in the second half of the 20th century, they began to decisively eradicate this Solar symbol , and they eradicated it in the same way as they had previously eradicated: the ancient folk Slavic and Aryan; Ancient Faith and Folk Traditions; The true History, undistorted by the rulers, and the long-suffering Slavic People themselves, the bearer of the ancient Slavic-Aryan Culture.

And even now, in the government and locally, many officials are trying to ban any types of rotating Solar crosses - in many ways the same people, or their descendants, but using different pretexts: if earlier this was done under the pretext of class struggle and anti-Soviet conspiracies, then now they are opponents of everything Slavic and Aryan, called fascist symbols and Russian chauvinism.

For those who are not indifferent to ancient Culture, there are several (a very small number of pictures, due to the limitation of the article’s volume) typical patterns in Slavic embroidery; in all enlarged fragments you can see the Swastika symbols and ornaments for yourself.


The use of swastika symbols in ornaments in the Slavic lands is simply innumerable. Academician B.A. Rybakov called the Solar symbol - Kolovrat, a connecting “link between the Paleolithic, where it first appeared, and modern ethnography, which provides countless examples of swastika patterns in fabrics, embroidery and weaving.”


But after the Second World War, in which Russia, as well as all Slavic and Aryan peoples, suffered huge losses, the enemies of the Aryan and Slavic Culture began to equate fascism with the Swastika. At the same time, they completely forgot (?!) that fascism, as a political and state system in Europe, existed only in Italy and Spain, where the Swastika symbol was not used. The swastika, as a party and state symbol, was adopted only in National Socialist Germany, called the Third Reich at that time.

The Slavs used this Solar sign throughout its existence (according to the latest scientific data, this is at least 15 thousand years), and the President of the Third Reich, Adolf Hitler, is only about 25 years old. The flow of lies and fabrications regarding the Swastika has filled the cup of absurdity. “Teachers” in modern schools, lyceums and gymnasiums in Russia teach children complete nonsense that the Swastika and any Swastika symbol are German fascist crosses, made up of four letters “G”, denoting the first letters of the leaders of Nazi Germany: Hitler, Himmler, Goering and Goebbels (sometimes replaced by Hess). Listening to such “teachers”, one might think that Germany during the time of Adolf Hitler used exclusively the Russian alphabet, and not at all the Latin script and the German Runic. Is there at least one Russian letter “G” in the German surnames: HITLER, HIMMLER, GERING, GEBELS (HESS) - no! But the flow of lies does not stop.

Swastika patterns and elements are used by peoples, which has been confirmed by archaeological scientists over the past 5-6 thousand years. And now, out of ignorance, people who have been trained by Soviet “teachers” are wary and sometimes even aggressive towards a person wearing ancient Slavic amulets or mittens with the image of Swastika symbols, a sundress or a shirt with Swastika embroidery. It was not for nothing that ancient thinkers said: “ Human development is hampered by two evils: ignorance and ignorance." Our Ancestors were knowledgeable and in charge, and therefore used various Swastika elements and ornaments in everyday life, considering them symbols of Yarila the Sun, Life, Happiness and Prosperity.

Only narrow-minded and ignorant people can denigrate everything pure, bright and good that remains among the Slavic and Aryan peoples. Let's not be like them! Do not paint over Swastika symbols in ancient Slavic Temples and Christian churches, on the Kumirs of the Light Gods and the Images of the Many-Wise Ancestors, as well as on the oldest Christian icons of the Mother of God and Christ. Do not destroy, at the whim of the ignorant and Slav-haters, the so-called “Soviet staircase”, and the ceilings of the Hermitage, or the domes of the Moscow St. Basil’s Cathedral, just because various versions of the Swastika have been painted on them for hundreds of years.

One generation replaces another, state systems and regimes collapse, but as long as the People remember their ancient roots, honor the traditions of their Great Ancestors, preserve their Ancient culture and symbols, until that time the People are ALIVE and will LIVE!

No, this is not a fake or a bait with a provocative headline. Here we will literally talk about fascist symbols, literally on the emblem of the Russian civil service.
So, my dear readers, I present to your attention the emblem Federal Service Bailiffs of Russia

We are interested in the objects that the double-headed eagle holds in its paws, because these are not just objects - they are symbols! Let's ask Wikipedia, what does it tell us about these items?
Let's look here https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_FSSP_Russia and what do we see there?
A golden double-headed eagle with raised wings, crowned with one large and two small crowns. The crowns are connected by a dark green ribbon. In the eagle's right paw there is a silver scroll with a seal, in the left - a silver lictor's bundle. On the eagle's chest is a figured shield with a dark green field. In the field of the shield there is a golden “pillar of the Law”. Well, everything is clear: the “pillar of the Law” is a worthy symbol, a silver scroll, and even with a seal - also quite worthy, a lictor’s bundle... And what is this?
Isn't this the same bun that ancient Roman lictors wore? A bunch of birch twigs tied with a ribbon, symbolizing the lictor's right to enforce decisions by force? So these are fascia, or as I was taught at school fascia!!! The same fascists that became the symbol of Benito Mussolini’s radical political organization - Fascio di combattimento - “Union of Struggle”


The same fascists, thanks to whom, the members of that party began to be called fascists, and everything they did was fascism!

Here people come to you in a graphite-black uniform with fascist symbols on the sleeve... Do you think these are Gestapo men, or some other SS men? No, these are civil servants of the Russian Federation. No, you’re not imagining it! These are not extremists, not neo-Nazis - these are civil servants, they come to you on business, on a serious matter, they are at work. At work, you know?! And with all their appearance they must personify the state. The very same state that, at the cost of tens of millions of ruined lives, through the impossible, through... Which means they, they are the ones who must look appropriate. Vanya Pupkin can drunkenly walk around the city with a swastika. Zigan a couple of times until they punch you in the face. He may have put on this swastika so that he could get punched in the face, so that he could serve a day in prison for propaganda. Nazi symbols, and then tell everyone what a hero he is, how he stood firm against the bloody KGB. But these are in the public service... In a form approved by no less than Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 540 of July 26, 2010.

In accordance with the decisions of the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg, the criminal organizations included, among others: the National Fascist Party of Italy (Partito Nazionale Fascista), the Fascist Republican Party of Italy (Partito Fascista Republicano) and the previously described Fasci di Combattimento, and the leadership of these organizations was recognized as war criminals. Taking into account the decisions of the Nuremberg Tribunal, the attributes of all of the above organizations can be classified as Nazi (fascist) symbols. And if this is so, then why are literally fascist symbols, literally, literally a symbol of the Russian civil service. Not alone! Here is the emblem of the FSIN, the Federal Penitentiary Service.

The eagle has the same bunch in its paw... But how should we feel about it? How to understand this, given that we are talking about a state that considers itself an ardent opponent, the antipode of fascism?

The urban legend of the Soviet pioneers said that the swastika was the four letters G gathered in a circle: Hitler, Goebbels, Goering, Himmler. The children did not think that the German Gs are actually different letters - H and G. Although the number of leading Nazis on G really went off scale - you can also remember Grohe, and Hess, and many others. But it's better not to remember.

The German Nazis used this sign even before Hitler came to power. And why they showed such interest in the swastika is not at all surprising: for them it was an object of mystical power that came from India, from the original Aryan territories. Well, it also looked beautiful, and the leaders of the national socialist movement always attached great importance to issues of aesthetics.

If we consider the swastika not as part of patterns and designs, but as an independent object, then its first appearance dates back to approximately the 6th-5th centuries BC. It can be seen on objects found in excavations in the Middle East. Why is it customary to call India the birthplace of the swastika? Because the word “swastika” itself is taken from Sanskrit (a literary ancient Indian language), means “well-being”, and purely graphically (according to the most common theory) symbolizes the Sun. Four-pointedness is far from necessary for it; there is also a great variety of angles of rotation, inclination of rays and additional patterns. In classical Hindu form, she is usually depicted as in the picture below.


There are many interpretations of which direction the swastika should rotate. There is even discussion of dividing them into female and male, depending on the direction

Due to the high popularity of the Sun among people of all races, it is logical that the swastika is an element of symbolism, writing and graphics among hundreds and hundreds of ancient peoples scattered throughout the planet. Even in Christianity it has found its place, and there is an opinion that the Christian cross is its direct descendant. Family traits are really easy to discern. In our dear Orthodoxy, swastika-like elements were called “gammatic cross” and were often used in the design of temples. True, now it is not so easy to detect their traces in Russia, since after the start of the Great Patriotic War even harmless Orthodox swastikas were eliminated.

Orthodox gamma cross

The swastika is such a widespread object of world culture and religion that what is rather surprising is the rarity of its appearance in the modern world. Logically, she should follow us everywhere. The answer is really simple: after the collapse of the Third Reich, it began to evoke such unpleasant associations that they got rid of it with unprecedented zeal. This is amusingly reminiscent of the story of the name Adolf, which was extremely popular in Germany at all times, but almost disappeared from use after 1945.

Craftsmen have gotten used to finding swastikas in the most unexpected places. With the advent of space images of the Earth in the public domain, the search for natural and architectural incidents has turned into a kind of sport. The most popular site for conspiracy theorists and swastikophiles is the naval base building in San Diego, California, designed in 1967.


The US Navy spent $600 thousand to somehow rid this building of its resemblance to a swastika, but the final result is disappointing

The Russian Internet and some station stalls are filled with all sorts of interpreters of Slavic pagan swastikas, where they meticulously explain in pictures what “yarovrat”, “svitovit” or “posolon” ​​means. It sounds and looks exciting, but keep in mind that there is no trace of any scientific basis behind these myths. Even the term “Kolovrat”, which has come into use, supposedly the Slavic name for the swastika, is the product of speculation and myth-making.

A beautiful example of rich Slavophile fantasy. Pay special attention to the name of the first swastika on the second page

Outlandish mystical powers are attributed to the swastika, hence the interest in it from people who are suspicious, superstitious or prone to the occult. Does it bring happiness to the wearer? Think about it: Hitler used it both in the tail and in the mane, and ended up so badly that you wouldn’t wish it on your enemy.

Empress Alexandra Feodorovna was a big fan of swastikas. She drew the symbol everywhere she could reach with pencils and paints, especially in her children’s rooms, so that they would grow up healthy and not worry about anything. But the empress was shot by the Bolsheviks along with her entire family. The conclusions are obvious.
