Slavic swastika - meaning, history, difference. Why did the swastika become a symbol of the Nazis?

In his autobiographical and ideological book Mein Kampf, Hitler stated that it was he who had the brilliant idea to make the swastika a symbol of the National Socialist movement. Probably, little Adolf first saw a swastika on the wall of a Catholic monastery near the town of Lambach.

The swastika sign - a cross with curved ends - has been popular since ancient times. It has been present on coins, household items and coats of arms since the 8th millennium BC. The swastika symbolized life, sun, and prosperity. Hitler could see this archaic solar symbol in Vienna on the emblems of Austrian anti-Semitic organizations.

Having dubbed him a Hakenkreuz (Hakenkreuz is translated from German as a hook cross), Hitler appropriated the glory of the discoverer, although the swastika appeared as a political symbol in Germany even before him. In 1920, Hitler, who was, albeit unprofessional and untalented, but still an artist, allegedly independently developed the design of the party logo, which was a red flag with a white circle in the middle, in the center of which was a black swastika with predatory hooks.

The color red, according to the leader of the National Socialists, was chosen in imitation of the Marxists. Seeing a hundred and twenty thousand demonstration of leftist forces under scarlet banners, Hitler noted the active influence of the bloody color on the common man. In Mein Kampf, the Führer mentioned the “great psychological significance” of symbols and their ability to powerfully influence a person. But it was precisely by controlling the emotions of the crowd that Hitler managed to introduce the ideology of his party to the masses in an unprecedented way.

By adding a swastika to the red color, Adolf made it diametrically opposite meaning the favorite color of socialists. By attracting the attention of workers with the familiar color of the posters, Hitler seemed to “recruit” them.

In Hitler's interpretation, the red color personified the idea of ​​movement, white - the sky and nationalism, the hoe-shaped swastika - labor and the anti-Semitic struggle of the Aryans. Creative work was mysteriously interpreted as a sign of anti-Semitism.

In general, it is impossible to call Hitler the author of National Socialist symbols, contrary to his statements. He borrowed the color from the Marxists, the swastika and even the name of the party (slightly rearranging the letters) from the Viennese nationalists. The idea of ​​using symbolism is also plagiarism. It belongs to the oldest party member - a dentist named Friedrich Krohn, who submitted a memorandum to the party leadership back in 1919. However, the savvy dentist is not mentioned in the bible of National Socialism, Mein Kampf.

However, Kron put a different meaning into these symbols. The red color of the banner is love for the homeland, the white circle is innocence for the outbreak of the First World War, the black color of the cross is grief over losing the war.

In Hitler’s decoding, the swastika became a sign of the Aryan struggle against “subhumans.” The claws of the cross seem to be aimed at Jews, Slavs, and representatives of other peoples who do not belong to the race of “blond beasts.”

Unfortunately, the ancient positive sign was discredited by the National Socialists. The Nuremberg Tribunal in 1946 banned Nazi ideology and symbols. The swastika was also banned. IN Lately she has been somewhat rehabilitated. Roskomnadzor, for example, recognized in April 2015 that displaying this sign outside of a propaganda context is not an act of extremism. Although the “reprehensible past” cannot be erased, even today the swastika is used by some racist organizations.

Message quote The swastika is the oldest Slavic symbol

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

The Swastika was popular among Slavic peoples, undoubtedly the most prosperous in the ancient world. The possession of the most extensive and rich lands and a numerous population are the heritage of this prosperity. The swastika accompanied the Slavs from the first to last day their lives, 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 named 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, can symbolize any philosophical categories and, most importantly - don't let yourself be offended .

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

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 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 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 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 the cultures of different peoples. 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 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? 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 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 probably typical example, when the swastika was used by the earliest non-Indo-European peoples. 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 existed happily until our time, but acquired 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 came to Japan and Southeast Asia along 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, the east of Eurasia is marked 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

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 hers modern interpretation, without signs of pagan cult.

The swastika currently appears on the Finnish presidential standard.

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.

Today, when many people hear the word “swastika,” they immediately think of Adolf Hitler, concentration camps, and the horrors of World War II. But, in fact, this symbol appeared even before new era and has very rich history. It has become widespread in Slavic culture, where many of its modifications existed. A synonym for the word “swastika” was the concept “solar”, that is, solar. Were there any differences in the swastika of the Slavs and the Nazis? And, if so, what were they expressed in?

First, let's remember what a swastika looks like. This is a cross, each of the four ends of which bends at right angles. Moreover, all angles are directed in one direction: to the right or to the left. Looking at such a sign, one gets the feeling of its rotation. There are opinions that the main difference between the Slavic and fascist swastikas lies in the direction of this very rotation. For the Germans, this is right-hand traffic (clockwise), and for our ancestors it is left-hand traffic (counterclockwise). But this is not all that distinguishes the swastika of Aryans and Aryans.

Another important distinguishing feature is the constancy of color and shape of the Fuhrer’s army badge. The lines of their swastika are quite wide, absolutely straight, and black. The underlying background is a white circle on a red canvas.

What about the Slavic swastika? Firstly, as already mentioned, there are many swastika signs that differ in shape. The basis of each symbol, of course, is a cross with right angles at the ends. But the cross may not have four ends, but six or even eight. Additional elements may appear on its lines, including smooth, rounded lines.

Secondly, the color of the swastika signs. There is also diversity here, but not so pronounced. The predominant symbol is red on a white background. The red color was not chosen by chance. After all, he was the personification of the sun among the Slavs. But there are also blue and yellow colors on some of the signs. Thirdly, the direction of movement. It was said earlier that among the Slavs it is the opposite of fascist. However, this is not quite true. We find both right-handed swastikas among the Slavs and left-handed ones.

We examined only the external distinctive attributes of the swastika of the Slavs and the swastika of the fascists. But much more important facts are the following:

• Approximate time of appearance of the sign.
• The meaning that was given to it.
• Where and under what conditions was this symbol used?

Let's start with the Slavic swastika

It is difficult to name the time when it appeared among the Slavs. But, for example, among the Scythians, it was recorded in the fourth millennium BC. And since a little later the Slavs began to separate from the Indo-European community, then, for sure, they were already used by them at that time (third-second millennium BC). Moreover, among the Proto-Slavs they were fundamental ornaments.

Swastika signs abounded in the everyday life of the Slavs. And therefore one cannot attribute the same meaning to all of them. In fact, each symbol was individual and carried its own meaning. By the way, the swastika could be either an independent sign or part of a more complex one (most often it was located in the center). Here are the main meanings of Slavic swastika (solar symbols):

• Sacred and Sacrificial fire.
• Ancient wisdom.
• Home.
• Unity of the Family.
• Spiritual development, self-improvement.
• Patronage of the gods in wisdom and justice.
• In the sign of Valkikria, it is a talisman of wisdom, honor, nobility, and justice.

That is, in general, we can say that the meaning of the swastika was somehow sublime, spiritually high, noble.

Archaeological excavations have given us a lot of valuable information. It turned out that in ancient times the Slavs applied similar signs to their weapons, embroidered them on suits (clothes) and textile accessories (towels, towels), and carved them on elements of their homes and household items (dishes, spinning wheels and other wooden utensils). They did all this mainly for the purpose of protection, in order to protect themselves and their home from evil forces, from grief, from fire, from the evil eye. After all, the ancient Slavs were very superstitious in this regard. And with such protection we felt much more secure and confident. Even the mounds and settlements of the ancient Slavs could have a swastika shape. At the same time, the ends of the cross symbolized a certain direction of the world.

Fascist swastika

• Adolf Hitler himself adopted this sign as a symbol of the National Socialist movement. But we know that he was not the one who came up with it. In general, the swastika was used by other nationalist groups in Germany even before the emergence of the National Socialist German workers' party. Therefore, let's take the time of appearance as the beginning of the twentieth century.

Interesting fact: the person who suggested that Hitler take the swastika as a symbol initially presented a left-handed cross. But the Fuhrer insisted on replacing it with a right-hand one.

• The meaning of the swastika among the Nazis is diametrically opposed to that of the Slavs. According to one version, it meant the purity of German blood. Hitler himself said that the black cross itself symbolizes the struggle for the victory of the Aryan race, creative work. In general, the Fuhrer considered the swastika an ancient anti-Semitic sign. In his book he writes that the white circle is national idea, red rectangle - the social idea of ​​the Nazi movement.
• Where was the fascist swastika used? Firstly, on the legendary flag of the Third Reich. Secondly, the military had it on their belt buckles, as a patch on the sleeve. Thirdly, the swastika “decorated” official buildings and occupied territories. In general, it could be on any fascist attributes, but these were the most common.

Thus, the swastika of the Slavs and the swastika of the Nazis have enormous differences. This is expressed not only in external features, but also in semantic ones. If among the Slavs this sign personified something good, noble, and lofty, then among the Nazis it was a truly Nazi sign. Therefore, when you hear something about a swastika, you shouldn’t immediately think about fascism. After all, the Slavic swastika was lighter, more humane, more beautiful.

The swastika, that is, a cross with curved ends, has been known to many peoples, including the Slavs, for a long time. The ends of the swastika can be bent either clockwise or counterclockwise. Its color may be different, there is different variants shapes and location. Banned fascist swastika on Nuremberg trials, How Nazi symbols. Our Red Army soldiers also once wore a swastika on their uniforms.

This symbol, the swastika, has been used by the ancient Aryans, Slavs and other peoples since time immemorial. Hitler simply made the swastika a symbol of his party, and when he came to power, a symbol of the Third Reich.

Denotes the symbol of the Sun, Solstice.

The swastika is one of the most widespread graphic symbols, which has been used by many peoples of the world since ancient times. This symbol was present on clothing, coats of arms, weapons, and household items. In Sanskrit, svasti means happiness. In America these are four letters L, four words Love, Life, Luck, fate, luck, Light.

Hitler made the swastika a symbol of Nazi Germany and since then the attitude towards it has changed. She became a symbol of Nazism, barbarism, and misanthropy. The Nazi swastika was a black hoe-shaped cross with ends pointing towards right side and rotated at an angle of 45 degrees. After the Second World War, the image of the swastika was banned in a number of countries.

The German swastika appeared during the reign of Hitler. He approved it as a symbol of the Aryan nation.

But the swastika appeared before Hitler’s Germany, and among many peoples it symbolized the symbol of the Sun, solar energy. True, these two swastikas differ in that the corners of the cross are turned in the other direction.

A swastika is a cross with continued sides, both clockwise and counterclockwise.

It gained great popularity after the Second World War, when the Nazis made the swastika with the sides turning clockwise their symbol and became famous throughout the world...

In fact, the swastika appeared a very long time ago and was a symbol among many peoples, mainly with positive side- meant movement, the sun, or together: the movement of the sun, as well as light and, in many ways, well-being...

Germany acquired this symbol in the summer of 1920, then Hitler approved it as a symbol of the party of which he was the leader...

By the way, Hitler thought that this symbol, the swastika, actually reflected the struggle of the Aryans and as a celebration of the victory of the Aryan race...

Is the swastika the oldest graphic symbol? or?, which was used by almost all nations in the world, but Nazi Germany used the swastika as a sign of Nazism and because of this coincidence everyone thinks that it is banned.

The German swastika is not just any swasti used by all nations as a symbol of the Sun and prosperity.

U Nazi swastika There is distinctive features- This is a quadrangular cross with corners bent at 45 degrees and turning to the right. For comparison, suasti (Kolovrat among the Slavs) is turned to left side. Well, different nations have different colors to indicate the symbol of the sun.

The Nazis took the idea of ​​the swastika from Indian culture.

In India, the swastika is a visual embodiment of the sound Om:



The Nazis, without the knowledge of the Hindus, took the idea of ​​this sign from them and distorted the meaning of the symbol.

Even the word Aryan is taken from the Indian Arya, which means supreme, pure.

In India, this word was used in a positive sense: polite, sophisticated, learned, and the Nazis called the Aryans the highest class of people.

Many Germans behaved somewhat like Indians. Himmler practiced yoga, called himself a Kshatriya (the second most important caste in India) and claimed to have fought a just war.



The Nazis received new spiritual knowledge from India from the spy Savitri Devi. She conveyed to Hitler all the information about the customs of India, and the SS leader remade everything to suit his tune.



Repeating the traditions of the Hindus in his country, Hitler wanted to become the last avatar of Vishnu - Kalki. God in this incarnation had to destroy everything unclean and repopulate the planet. This was Hitler’s key idea - he wanted to remove the unworthy and leave people of the highest rank on the planet - the Aryans.

Is swastika prohibited?

The swastika is now prohibited only in the Hitlerite version. I’m from Kyiv, and I once saw how people gathered in front of the Verkhovna Rada building strange people in identical outfits with an image very similar to a swastika. It turns out that these were fans of Hinduism. In this way, they showed that you can come to terms with everything, and that you need to be wiser (I talked to them).

And you should never blindly believe in anything! The Germans believed Hitler, and what did this lead to? Analyze, don’t be fooled and be fair. No philosophy or idea is worthy of existence if it divides people.

The German swastika is the opposite symbol of the sun. It is not prohibited everywhere. I know for sure that it is still prohibited in Germany. In many computer games the swastika was replaced by another symbol, especially for Germany.

In general, the swastika is a symbol of the Sun, good luck, happiness and creation. It has been used at all times and by all peoples, but it probably began to be banned after the Nazis began to use it.

The swastika is a graphic symbol. Among different peoples different time had their own images of swastikas. The most commonly used is the 4-pointed swastika. German swastika approved by Hitler himself as a symbol of the workers' party. She represented
