Swastika(Sanskrit. स्वस्तिक from Sanskrit. स्वस्ति, svasti, greeting, wish of good luck) - a cross with curved ends (“rotating”), directed either clockwise (this is the movement of the earth around the sun) or counterclockwise.
(Old Indian svastika, from su, lit. “connected with good”), one of the most archaic symbols, found already in images of the Upper Paleolithic, in the ornaments of many peoples in different parts of the world.
The swastika is one of the most ancient and widespread graphic symbols. “The swastika symbol crystallizes from the diamond-meander design, which first appeared in the Upper Paleolithic, and then inherited by almost all the peoples of the world.” The oldest archaeological finds depicting a swastika date back to approximately 25-23 millennium BC (Mezin, Kostenki, Russia).
The swastika was used by many peoples of the world - it was present on weapons, everyday items, clothing, banners and coats of arms, and was used in the decoration of churches and houses.
The swastika as a symbol has many meanings, and for most peoples they are positive. For most ancient peoples, the swastika was a symbol of the movement of life, the Sun, light, and prosperity.
Celtic Stone of Kermaria, 4th century BC
The swastika reflects the main type of movement in the Universe - rotational with its derivative - translational and is capable of symbolizing philosophical categories.
In the 20th century, the swastika (German: Hakenkreuz) became known as a symbol of Nazism and Hitler’s Germany, and in Western culture it is firmly associated with Hitler’s regime and ideology.
History and significance
The word "swastika" is a composite of two Sanskrit roots: सु, su, "good, good" and अस्ति, asti, "life, existence", that is, "well-being" or "well-being". There is another name for the swastika - “gammadion” (Greek γαμμάδιον), consisting of four Greek letters “gamma”. The swastika is considered not only as a solar symbol, but also as a symbol of the fertility of the earth. This is one of the ancient and archaic solar signs - an indicator of the visible movement of the Sun around the Earth and the division of the year into four parts - four seasons. The sign records two solstices: summer and winter - and the annual movement of the Sun. Has the idea of four cardinal directions, centered around an axis. The swastika also implies the idea of moving in two directions: clockwise and counterclockwise. Like “Yin” and “Yang”, a dual sign: rotating clockwise symbolizes male energy, counterclockwise - female. In ancient Indian scriptures, a distinction is made between male and female swastikas, which depict two female and also two male deities.

The swastika personifies a moral characteristic: movement along the sun is good, against the sun is evil. (()) In the symbolism of auspiciousness, the sign is depicted in the form of a cross with ends bent at an angle or oval (in a clockwise direction), which means “screwing in” energies , holding the flow of physical forces in order to control lower forces. The right-sided swastika is perceived as a sign of dominance over matter and control of energy (as in yoga: keeping the body motionless, “screwing in” the lower energies makes it possible for the higher forces of energy to manifest themselves). A left-sided swastika, on the contrary, means unscrewing physical and instinctive forces and creating an obstacle to the passage of higher forces; the direction of movement gives preference to the mechanical, earthly side, the exclusive desire for power in matter. The counterclockwise swastika is also seen as a symbol of black magic and negative energies. As a solar sign, the swastika serves as an emblem of life and light. It is perceived as an incomplete zodiac circle or as the wheel of life. Sometimes the swastika is identified with another solar sign - a cross in a circle, where the cross is a sign of the diurnal movement of the Sun. The archaic spiral swastika with the symbol of a ram is known as a symbol of the Sun. A symbol of rotation, continuous movement, expressing the immutability of the solar cycle, or the rotation of the Earth around its axis. A rotating cross, the blades at the ends representing the movement of light. The swastika contains the idea of eternal overcoming the inertia of the square by the wheel of rotation.
The swastika is found in the culture of the peoples of many countries around the world: in the symbolism of Ancient Egypt, in Iran, in Russia, in the ornaments of different communities. One of the oldest forms of the swastika is Asia Minor and is an ideogram of the four cardinal directions in the form of a figure with four cross-shaped curls. Even in the 7th century BC, images similar to the swastika were known in Asia Minor, consisting of four cross-shaped curls - the rounded ends are signs of cyclic movement. There are interesting coincidences in the image of Indian and Asia Minor swastikas (points between the branches of the swastika, jagged thickenings at the ends). Other early forms of the swastika - a square with four plant-like curves at the edges - are a sign of earth, also of Asia Minor origin. The swastika was understood as a symbol of the four main forces, the four cardinal directions, the elements, the seasons and the alchemical idea of the transformation of elements.
In the cultures of countries
The swastika is one of the most archaic sacred symbols, found already in the Upper Paleolithic among many peoples of the world. India, ancient Rus', China, Ancient Egypt, the Mayan state in Central America - this is the incomplete geography of this symbol. Swastika symbols were used to designate calendar signs back in the days of the Scythian kingdom. The swastika can be seen on old Orthodox icons. The swastika is a symbol of the Sun, good luck, happiness, and creation (the “correct” swastika). And, accordingly, the swastika in the opposite direction symbolizes darkness, destruction, the “night Sun” among the ancient Russians. As can be seen from ancient ornaments, in particular on jugs found in the vicinity of Arkaim, both swastikas were used. It has deep meaning. Day follows night, light follows darkness, rebirth follows death - and this is the natural order of things in the Universe. Therefore, in ancient times there were no “bad” and “good” swastikas - they were perceived in unity.
The first swastika designs appeared at an early stage in the formation of the symbolism of the Western Asian Neolithic cultures. Swastika-like figure 7 thousand BC. from Asia Minor consists of four cruciform scrolls, i.e. signs of vegetation, and, obviously, represents one of the variants of the ideogram of the concept “four cardinal directions”. The memory that the swastika once symbolized the four directions of the world is recorded in medieval Muslim manuscripts, and has also been preserved to this day among American Indians. Another swastika-like figure, dating back to the early stage of the Asia Minor Neolithic, consists of the Earth sign (a square with a dot) and four plant-like appendages adjacent to it. It seems that in this kind of composition one should see the origin of the swastika - in particular, its version with rounded ends. The latter is confirmed, for example, by the ancient Cretan swastika, combined with four plant elements.
This symbol was found on clay vessels from Samarra (the territory of modern Iraq), which date back to the 5th millennium BC. The swastika in levorotatory and dextrorotatory forms is 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 funerary stele from the kingdom of Meroz, which existed in the 2nd-3rd centuries AD. The fresco on the stele depicts a woman entering the afterlife; a swastika also appears on the clothes of the deceased. The rotating cross also decorates golden weights for scales that belonged to the inhabitants of Ashanta (Ghana), and clay utensils of the ancient Indians, and Persian carpets. The swastika was on almost all amulets of the Slavs, Germans, Pomors, Skalvi, Curonians, Scythians, Sarmatians, Mordovians, Udmurts, Bashkirs, Chuvash and many other peoples. In many religions, the swastika is an important religious symbol.

The swastika in India has traditionally been viewed as a solar sign - a symbol of life, light, generosity and abundance. She was closely connected with the cult of the god Agni. She is mentioned in the Ramayana. A wooden tool was made in the shape of a swastika for producing sacred fire. They laid him flat on the ground; the depression in the middle served for a rod, which was rotated until a fire appeared, lit on the altar of the deity. It was carved in many temples, on rocks, on ancient monuments of India. Also a symbol of esoteric Buddhism. In this aspect it is called the “Seal of the Heart” and, according to legend, was imprinted on the heart of the Buddha. Her image is placed on the hearts of initiates after their death. Known as the Buddhist cross (shape similar to the Maltese cross). The swastika is found wherever there are traces of Buddhist culture - on rocks, in temples, stupas and on Buddha statues. Together with Buddhism, it penetrated from India to China, Tibet, Siam and Japan.

In China, the swastika is used as a symbol of all the deities worshiped in the Lotus School, as well as in Tibet and Siam. In ancient Chinese manuscripts it included such concepts as “region” and “country”. Two curved, mutually truncated fragments of a double spiral are known in the form of a swastika, expressing the symbolism of the relationship between “Yin” and “Yang”. In maritime civilizations, the double helix motif was an expression of the relationship between opposites, a sign of the Upper and Lower Waters, and also signified the process of the formation of life. Widely used by Jains and followers of Vishnu. In Jainism, the four arms of the swastika represent the four levels of existence.
Swastika in India
On one of the Buddhist swastikas, each blade of the cross ends with a triangle indicating the direction of movement and crowned with an arch of the flawed moon, in which the sun is placed, like in a boat. This sign represents the sign of the mystical arba, the creative quaternary, also called the hammer of Thor. A similar cross was found by Schliemann during the excavations of Troy. In Eastern Europe, Western Siberia, Central Asia and the Caucasus, it has been found since the 2nd–1st millennium BC. In Western Europe it was known to the Celts. Depicted in pre-Christian Roman mosaics and on coins of Cyprus and Crete. An ancient Cretan rounded swastika made from plant elements is known. The Maltese cross in the shape of a swastika made of four triangles converging in the center is of Phoenician origin. It was also known to the Etruscans. In early Christianity, the swastika was known as a gamma cross. According to Guenon, until the end of the Middle Ages it was one of the emblems of Christ. According to Ossendowski, 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. Ossendowski saw this ring on the hand of the Mongol governor. Currently, this magical symbol is known mainly in India and Central and East Asia.
Swastika on Russian territory
In Rus', swastika symbols have been known since ancient times.
The rhombic-meander swastika ornament in the Kostenki and Mezin cultures (25 - 20 thousand years BC) was studied by V. A. Gorodtsov.
As a special type of swastika, symbolizing the rising Sun-Yarila, the victory of Light over Darkness, Eternal Life over Death, Kolovrat was called (lit. “rotation of the wheel”, the Old Slavonic form Kolovrat was also used in the Old Russian language).
In Russian folk ornaments, the swastika was one of the common figures until late XIX V.
The swastika was used in rituals and construction, in homespun production: in embroidery on clothes, on carpets. Household utensils were decorated with swastikas. She was also present on the icons
In the St. Petersburg Necropolis, Glinka's grave is crowned with a swastika.
In post-war children's legends, there was a widespread belief that the swastika consists of 4 letters “G”, symbolizing the first letters of the surnames of the leaders of the Third Reich - Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, Goering.
Swastika in India
In pre-Buddhist ancient Indian and some other cultures, the swastika is usually interpreted as a sign of favorable destinies, a symbol of the sun. This symbol is still widely used in India and South Korea, and most weddings, holidays and celebrations are not complete without it.
Swastika in India
Buddhist symbol of perfection (also known as manji, “whirlwind” (Japanese: まんじ, “ornament, cross, swastika”)). The vertical line indicates the relationship between heaven and earth, and the horizontal line indicates the yin-yang relationship. The direction of short lines to the left represents movement, softness, love, compassion, and their direction to the right is associated with constancy, firmness, intelligence and strength. Thus, any one-sidedness is a violation of world harmony and cannot lead to universal happiness. Love and compassion without strength and firmness are helpless, and strength and reason without mercy and love lead to the increase of evil.
Swastika in European culture
The swastika became popular in European culture in the 19th century, in the wake of the fashion of the Aryan theory. English astrologer Richard Morrison organized the Order of the Swastika in Europe, 1869. It is found on the pages of Rudyard Kipling's books. The swastika was also used by the founder of the Boy Scouts, Robert Baden-Powell. In 1915, the swastika, being very common in Latvian culture since ancient times, was depicted on the banners of battalions (then regiments) of the Latvian Rifles Russian army.

Then, since 1918, it became an element of the official symbols of the Republic of Latvia - the emblem of military aviation, regimental insignia, insignia of societies and various organizations, state awards, is still used today. The Latvian Military Order of Lāčplēsis had the shape of a swastika. Since 1918, the swastika has been part of the state symbols of Finland (now depicted on the presidential standard, as well as on the banners of the armed forces). Later it became a symbol of the German Nazis, after they came to power - the state symbol of Germany (depicted on the coat of arms and flag); after World War II, her image was banned in several countries.
Swastika in Nazism
The National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), which appeared in the 20s of the 20th century, chose the swastika as its party symbol. Since 1920, the swastika has become associated with Nazism and racism.
There is a very common misconception that the Nazis chose the right-handed swastika as their emblem, thereby perverting the precepts of the ancient sages and desecrating the sign itself, which is more than five thousand years old. In reality this is not the case. In cultures different nations Both left- and right-handed swastikas are found.
Only a four-pointed swastika, standing on an edge at 45°, with the ends directed to the right, can fit the definition of “Nazi” symbols. This very sign was on the state banner of National Socialist Germany from 1933 to 1945, as well as on the emblems of the civil and military services of this country. The Nazis themselves used the term Hakenkreuz (literally “crooked (hooked) cross”), which is synonymous with the word swastika (German Swastika), also used in German.
In Russia, a stylized swastika is used as an emblem by the All-Russian social movement Russian National Unity (RNE). Russian nationalists claim that the Russian swastika - the Kolovrat - is an ancient Slavic symbol and cannot be recognized as Nazi symbols.
Swastika in other cultures
I was forced to turn to this topic by long-term observations and reflections on some stable forms in architecture, religious and state symbols, folk celebrations and everything that usually falls under the concept of “tradition”. Traditions are passed down from generation to generation and are preserved for centuries and millennia; sometimes they outlive the states, languages and ethnic groups that created them. Traditions carry historical information no less, and perhaps even more, than ancient papyri and books, but we do not yet know how to extract this information.
Tradition Four
Swastika or Kolovrat
The swastika was found on clay vessels from the territory of modern Iraq, which date back to the 5th millennium BC, and in ornaments on ceramics of the South Ural Andronovo culture. Left- and right-sided swastikas are found in pre-Aryan culture in the Indus River basin and in ancient China around 2000 BC (http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D1%E2%E0%F1%F2%E8%EA %E0).
In 1874, Heinrich Schliemann discovered images of the swastika during excavations of Homer's Troy. During the Celtic period, the swastika was depicted on the altars of druidic cults, and it was often used in religious rituals. The history of this symbol goes back thousands of years, to the times of Ancient Egypt and India. It is interpreted as an ancient symbol of fertility, and as a symbol of the sun, and as the hammer of Thor - the god of thunder, storms and fertility.
The concept of building a single brick of the Universe was developed, which is used in all hierarchical structures of the Universe, regardless of its size, be it a photon, an atom or a Galaxy. According to this concept, any hierarchical structure must have symmetry - simultaneously located in two of its own spherical spaces: left- and right-handed, between which exchange processes occur. In this case, one of the spaces (right) is radiating dynamic, and the other (left) is absorbing. These spaces are not mirror images of each other, they are asymmetrical.
According to Tao, the Universe is powered by the energy of two principles: the active radiating male principle Yang (in our case, this is the right space) and the passive absorbing female Yin (left space).
It seems that the division of Nature into living and nonliving is a human invention. Nature itself does not make such distinctions: the same type of metabolic processes occur in both. An example of this is the ancient mysterious sign of the Swastika - it is both a symbol of the Universe and Eternity, and a symbol of the movement of matter at all hierarchical levels of its existence - be it an atom, a galaxy, a mineral, a living cell or a person.
However, due to the interpretations of medieval European scholastics, as well as the criminal actions of the fascists, a blatant injustice has occurred: the swastika was dishonored and experienced its spiritual death, turning from a symbol Eternal Life due to destruction. But let's hope that this phenomenon is temporary and justice will prevail.
Translated from Sanskrit, “swastika” means “symbol of pure existence and well-being.” In India, Tibet, Mongolia and China, swastika signs still decorate the domes and gates of temples today. Hitler, when he decided to make the swastika a state symbol, hoped that the swastika would bring him and the Third Reich good luck, but in his actions he clearly did not move towards the Right (the right-hand direction of the swastika), so the swastika led the Third Reich to defeat.
In society after the Second World War, an extremely negative attitude towards the swastika strengthened; for some reason the peoples of the world believed that the fault of this war was not Adolf Hitler and his party, but the swastika - a symbol that was widespread during the time of the Aryans.
Poor swastika! So the fascists spoiled you with their crazy ideas and their criminal actions!
But a lot of time has passed since Soviet soldiers planted the red flag of victory at the Reichstag; there are few veterans of that war left alive, for whom the swastika is just a fascist sign and nothing more. But the swastika, or Kolovrat, is the oldest Aryan symbol, most likely a talisman, and not a sign of aggression. This is also a Russian sign, and it is no less Russian than German, because the ancestral home of the Aryans is the territory of the European part of Rus'-Russia, and the Aryans Western Europe and the Aryans of India and Pakistan are those who left the ancestral homeland of their ancestors in search of the promised lands.
Therefore, it turns out that fascist Germany in 1941 attacked its distant relatives, who turned out to be more faithful to the customs of their distant Aryan ancestors than the Germans. So maybe the Kolovrat on the military uniform of the fascists did not help them, but helped us - Russian-Russian-Soviet? This is the issue we will try to understand now.
It turns out that the sleeve emblems of soldiers and officers of the Red Army of the South-Eastern Front in 1918 were also decorated with a swastika with the abbreviation RSFSR. This symbol is often found in ancient Russian ornaments in the Arkhangelsk and Vologda regions; it traditionally decorated the homes and clothing of the Rus. The ancient city of Arkaim, discovered by archaeologists in 1986 in the Southern Urals, had the structure of a swastika. Having studied the distribution of the swastika in space and time, I became convinced that this symbol is even more ancient than the Aryan past, otherwise how could it have ended up among the Indians of North America?

In ancient times, when runes were still used for writing in Rus', the swastika meant “Coming from Heaven.” It was the rune SVA - Heaven (Svarog - Heavenly God). (Information from the site: http://planeta.moy.su/blog/svastika)
Galaxies can also be twisted in different directions. In the photo on the left, the galaxy is rotating to the left, and in the photo on the right, it is rotating to the right. What this is connected with is still unknown. One can only assume that the ejection of matter from a black hole located in the center of galaxies is asymmetrical; more of it is ejected in one direction and at a higher speed. Both photos are taken from the NASA website.
The swastika was often embroidered on towels, bedspreads, pillows and clothing as a talisman. In this photo we see the Kolovrat with both right and left rotation. I don't think these women share Hitler's views. Photo from the site: http://soratnik.com/rp/35_37/35_37_7.html |

On the hood of Tsar Nicholas II's car there is a left-sided swastika. The appearance of the swastika at the court of the last Russian Tsar is associated with the influence of the Buryat Lamaist doctor Pyotr Badmaev, who preached Tibetan medicine and maintained ties with Tibet, on the empress. This may be true, but the swastika has been a traditional Aryan symbol of Rus' since ancient times. Photo from the site: http://707.livejournal.com/302950.html |
The swastika continues to be used in the United States to this day. In Squaw Valley in 2000, they tried to accuse one cattle owner of sympathizing with Nazism only on the grounds that he branded his cattle with a swastika brand, inherited from his fathers and grandfathers.
In 1995, in the town of Glendale (California), a group of anti-fascists tried to force the city authorities to replace 930 lampposts installed on the city streets in 1924-1926, since their cast-iron pedestals of these pillars were surrounded by swastika ornaments. The local history society had to prove that the poles, purchased at one time from a metallurgical company from Ohio, had nothing to do with the Nazis, and therefore could not offend anyone’s feelings, and the swastika design was based on local traditions Navajo Indians (http://www.slavianin.ru/svastika/stati/vedicheskie-simvoly-v-amerike.html).
The swastika with a lily in the center was depicted on the “gratitude badges” of Boy Scouts until 1940. The founder of the scouting movement, Robert Baden-Powell, then explained that it depicts a schematic map of Atlantis with 4 rivers flowing from a single center.
Items with the image of a swastika are often found by archaeologists during excavations in different parts of Europe and Asia. Sometimes swastikas decorate weapons, and more often very peaceful things like pots and combs.

Left-handed swastika in royal family in Russia it was used as a talisman and as a symbolic reflection of the personality of the king. Before her execution in 1918, the former empress drew a swastika on the wall of Ipatiev’s house. The owner of the photograph of this swastika was General Alexander Kutepov. Kutepov kept the icon found on the body of the former empress.
Inside the icon there was a note that commemorated the Green Dragon society. The Green Society, akin to the Thule Society, is still located in Tibet today. Before Hitler came to power, there lived a Tibetan lama in Berlin, nicknamed “the man with green gloves.” Hitler visited him regularly. This lama allegedly reported to the newspapers three times without error how many Nazis would be elected to the Reichstag. The initiates called the lama “the holder of the keys to the kingdom of Agartha.”
In 1926, colonies of Tibetans and Hindus appeared in Berlin and Munich. When the Nazis gained access to Reich finances, they began sending large expeditions to Tibet; These studies were not interrupted until 1943. On the day when Soviet troops ended the battle for Berlin, about a thousand bodies of people from Tibet were found among the corpses of the last defenders of Nazism.
Ignorant London reviewers of the film about the Romanovs called Empress Alexandra Feodorovna a “fascist Brünnhilde.” And the empress simply consecrated Ipatiev’s house with a “talisman”, according to the ancient Aryan tradition, anticipating the end of her life.
Once upon a time, the ancient Aryans, who moved from the regions of the Russian Plain in a southern and southeastern direction, brought the swastika to Mesopotamia, Central Asia, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India - this is how the swastika came into culture eastern peoples. She was depicted on painted pottery from ancient Susiana (Mesopotamian Elam on the eastern coast of the Persian Gulf in the 3rd millennium BC). So the swastika may have entered the ancient cultures of non-Indo-European peoples. 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.
Today, 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.
Later, the swastika spread to Tibet, then to Central Asia and China. Another century later, it appeared in Japan and in South-East Asia together with Buddhism, which made it its symbol. In Japan, the swastika is called manji. Here it can be seen on samurai flags, armor and family crests.
Together with Buddhism from India, the swastika entered Japan. In Japan the swastika symbol is called |

The swastika is considered an Aryan symbol of unity heavenly powers fire and wind with earthly forces. The altars of the Aryans were decorated with swastikas, and these places were considered holy, protected from evil. The name “swastika” comes from the Sanskrit term “suasti” - prosperity under the Sun, and expressed the concept of “wheel”, “disk”, or “circle of eternity”, divided into 4 sectors. In China and Japan, swastika characters mean wishes for longevity under the Sun. Photo from the site: http://707.livejournal.com/302950.html |
The swastika was used not only by the Sumerians, Etruscans, ancient Greeks, and Romans; it is known not only in Hinduism and Buddhism. This symbol can be found among Christians and even among Jews in synagogues.
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.
It was unexpected for me to learn that the swastika was used not only by the Aryan peoples. The Indians also knew her North America, and they knew and used it long before the Europeans arrived there. Where did the Navajo Indians get the swastika?
The Navajo and Zuni Indian tribes, living in the state of California and maintaining their ancient way of life until the first third of the 20th century, used swastikas in patterns on quilts. Photo from the site: http://www.slavianin.ru/svastika/stati/vedicheskie-simvoly-v-amerike.html |
Indians continue to use the swastika to this day. You can meet her at the Shaffer Hotel (Shaffer Hotel) in New Mexico, as well as in the Royal Saskatchewan Museum in Canada, on a building in the state of New England.

In February 1925, the Kuna Indians in Panama (Mesoamerica) announced the creation of the independent Republic of Tula. On the banner of this republic they depicted a left-handed swastika, which, it turns out, was the ancient symbol of this tribe. In 1942, the flag was slightly changed so as not to evoke associations with Nazi Germany. They put a nose ring on the swastika. In 1940, at a general meeting of tribes from Arizona - Navajo, Papagos, Apache and Hopi - the Indians refused to use the swastika in all its forms in national costumes and products as a protest against Nazism, and 4 leaders signed a corresponding document. However, nowadays Indians continue to use the swastika.

The ancient Aryans imprinted the Kolovrat-swastika on the tusks of mammoths back in the Neolithic. Under the golden Kolovrat on a scarlet banner, Prince Svyatoslav marched against Constantinople and the Khazars. This symbol was used by pagan sorcerers in rituals associated with the ancient Slavic Vedic Faith, and is still embroidered by Vyatka, Kostroma, Arkhangelsk and Vologda needlewomen.
After a period of oblivion, the swastika again became popular in European culture in the 19th century as a sign of Light, Sun, Love, Life. But this is its modern interpretation, and not its significance in religious cults.
As for the origins of the swastika, we can definitely say that it is a very ancient sign, unfortunately, discredited in the 20th century by the German fascists. I think that it undoubtedly has Aryan roots and at one time was spread by Aryan tribes throughout the Earth. This probably happened at least 12-15 thousand years ago. Then there were two civilizations on the globe - the Atlanteans (or peoples of the sea) and the Aryans (or peoples of the land). The relationship between them was not at all peaceful. If the Atlanteans influenced different ethnic groups, capturing the sea coasts, where they had numerous fortified cities, and from them interacted with the local population, then the Aryans lived in the interior of the continents, where they could not be greatly disturbed by the Atlanteans.
Plato mentions this when he writes that the ancestors of the ancient Greeks resisted the Atlanteans in the eastern Mediterranean. The Aryan origin of the ancient Greeks is beyond doubt. But the eastern Mediterranean, the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts of Africa and the Atlantic coast of Europe were probably completely controlled by the Atlanteans.
When Atlantis sank into the depths of the sea, only its colony cities and those Atlanteans and half-breeds of Atlanteans and aborigines who inhabited these colonies survived.
The Aryan civilization probably suffered less during the global catastrophe, especially on the elevated plateaus, where the wave of the catastrophic tsunami ( global flood) did not reach. But the distant descendants of the Atlanteans and Aryans for several millennia forgot about whose symbol was the trident and whose symbol was the swastika, and began to use both. It is also possible that both symbols were used in Atlantis itself before the disaster. Otherwise, how would the swastika get to the Indians of North America?

Swastika. Who invented the fascist cross?
They don't even need crosses on their graves -
Crosses on the wings will also come down...
Vladimir Vysotsky “Two songs about one air battle”
Many believe that the main symbol of the Third Reich - a black swastika on a red background - was invented by Hitler himself or people from his inner circle. But in fact, such an opinion is nothing more than a delusion. The Nazi shrine, as well as other attributes of Nazi Germany, existed long before the possessed Fuhrer came to power and initially did not carry such a sinister meaning.
The main emblem of the Third Reich has a long history. It was widespread in Iran already in the 6th millennium. BC e. Later, the swastika was found in the Far East, Central and Southeast Asia, Tibet and Japan. It was also widely used by pre-Hellenic Greece. IN Kievan Rus this sign, called "Kolovrat", was also very popular. The swastika did not spare the indigenous people of the Americas either. And the peoples of the Caucasus and the Baltic Pomors used it as an element of ornaments even at the beginning of the 20th century.
Naturally, all this time, no one associated the cross with curved ends with massacres, destructive war and crimes against humanity. By the way, historical information there is no evidence that this sign was used by ancient Germanic tribes. The fascists who came to power were looking for a suitable emblem for the Nazi state and, without hesitation, chose the swastika, dubbing it an ancient German, or even an Aryan symbol.
The meaning of this symbol is not precisely established. There is a version that it was one of the varieties of the cross with broken ends, symbolizing, according to historians, inner world human - the space located between perpendicularly intersecting lines. However, the most common view of the swastika is that it is seen as solar, that is, sun sign. Ethnographers consider it just a harmless symbol of the movement of the heavenly body and the change of seasons.
For some reason, Adolf Hitler saw in her something fundamentally different. In his opinion, the cross with curved ends personified the superiority of the Aryans over other peoples. What guided the German Fuhrer when making such an assessment is a mystery.
Moreover, it is reliably known that the idea to use the swastika as an emblem did not come to Hitler’s mind. The main symbol of the Third Reich was “gifted”... by the German Masonic Lodge! More precisely, its successor is the secret organization “Thule”. Initially, this society was engaged in the study and popularization ancient history and folklore. However, its members kept their nose to the wind and responded with pleasure to Hitler's ideas. The Thule ideology began to be based on the concept of German racial superiority, anti-Semitism and the pan-German dream of a new powerful German Reich. All this was heavily “seasoned” with the occult: members of the society performed special ceremonies and magical rituals. Among the symbols used in these rituals was the swastika.
Hitler, who was always interested in the occult, liked this sign, and he first decided to make it the emblem of his party. The leader of the NSDAP slightly modified the swastika, and in the summer of 1920 a symbol was born that, two decades later, terrified all of Europe: a black cross with curved ends, inscribed in a white circle on a red background. The red color symbolized the social ideals of the party, and the white symbolized the nationalist ones. The cross indicated victory and the supremacy of the Aryan race.
After Hitler came to power, the swastika became an indispensable attribute of the state, official, military and corporate symbols of Germany. The Germans valued this “sign of superiority” so much that in 1935 they even issued a special decree “On the prohibition of Jews from hanging a flag with a swastika.” Apparently, the Nazis believed that “racially unclean” elements would desecrate their shrine with their touches.
During the existence of the Third Reich, the swastika was used everywhere: on banknotes, dishes, and souvenirs. During any celebrations, the streets of German cities were hung with flags and banners with this sign, and they were hung so densely that the eyes of passers-by began to ripple. However, sometimes the Nazi shrine was used for other purposes: a lady’s dress, the fabric of which was decorated with an ornament of thousands of small crosses, was considered fashionable.
Perhaps the swastika would have remained a symbol of the sun, fire and fertility. If not for the Second World War, with the beginning of which, thanks to Hitler, it definitely ceased to be “sunny”.
More organic and appropriate from the point of view of racial theory was the use by the Nazis of runes, which formed the basis of the writing of the ancient Germanic and Scandinavian peoples. As is known, from ancient times runic signs were not only letters, but also had magical meaning - they were used for fortune telling and as security amulets. Historians believe that by introducing runes into everyday use, Hitler and his entourage tried not only to develop patriotism among the inhabitants of Germany, but also hoped to use runic signs as a magical weapon. True, the Fuhrer interpreted them selectively: he left only those meanings that corresponded to his worldview. Thus, the Zig rune, the double image of which became the “logo” of the SS, in the canonical interpretation meant the desire for light and enrichment spiritual world, as well as the flourishing of creative abilities. Naturally, the valiant SS men had no need for such qualities, therefore, in Hitler’s interpretation, the “lightning” rune meant thunder, lightning and, again, the superiority of the Aryan race.
The “rented” symbols also include the eagle and oak branches. The authorship of these signs dates back to the Roman Empire. Decorating the coat of arms of the German Reich, Hitler aimed at nothing less than the most common attributes of the power of the Roman Caesars.
The fascists borrowed such an ominous insignia as a skull (“dead head”) from the near-Masonic order - the Rosicrucians. Moreover, at first this gloomy image symbolized, in the opinion of its “discoverers,” the victory of the spirit over mortal matter. Remember the medieval philosophers who thought with a skull in their hands on the topic: “Poor Yorick...”? But in the hands, or more precisely, on the fingers of SS officers who placed the “death’s head” on silver rings, this sign acquired a completely different meaning. He became the embodiment of cruelty, destruction and death.
So make no mistake: the Nazis did not themselves come up with the symbols of the “thousand-year” Reich. All the signs and attributes they used had existed for a long time and were used for much more humane purposes.

Swastika symbolism, being the oldest, is most often found in archaeological excavations. More often than other symbols, it was found in ancient mounds, on the ruins of ancient cities and settlements. In addition, swastika symbols were depicted on various details of architecture, weapons, clothing and household utensils among many peoples of the world. Swastika symbolism is found everywhere in ornamentation as a sign of Light, Sun, Love, Life. The swastika was often printed by E. Phillips and other postcard makers in the United States and Great Britain in the 1900s and 1910s, calling it the “cross of happiness”, consisting of the “four Ls”: Light (light), Love (love), Life ( life) and Luck (good luck).
The Greek name for the swastika is “gammadion” (four letters “gamma”). In post-war Soviet legends, there was a widespread belief that the swastika consists of 4 letters “G”, symbolizing the first letters of the surnames of the leaders of the Third Reich - Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, Goering (and this is taking into account that in the German language these surnames began with different letters - “ G" and "H").
Because “the consequences of the barbaric attitude towards the swastika turn out to be very disastrous for the modern culture of the Russian peoples. It is a known fact that during the Second World War, workers of the Kargopol Museum of Local Lore destroyed a number of unique embroideries containing the ornamental swastika motif for fear of being accused of Hitlerite agitation. To this day, in most museums, works of art containing swastikas are not included in the main exhibition. Thus, through the fault of public and state institutions that support “swastikophobia,” a millennia-old cultural tradition is being suppressed.”
An interesting incident related to this issue occurred in Germany in 2003. The Chairman of the German Falun Dafa Association (Falun Dafa - ancient system improvement of the soul and life, based on the improvement of morality) unexpectedly received a notice of criminal prosecution from the German district attorney, where he was accused of displaying an “illegal” symbol on a website (the Falun emblem contains the swastika of the Buddha system in its image).
The case turned out to be so unusual and interesting that its consideration lasted more than six months. The final verdict of the court stated that the Falun symbol is legal and acceptable in Germany, and also stated that the Falun symbol and the illegal symbol are completely different in appearance and have completely different meaning. Excerpt from the court's decision: “The Falun symbol represents peace and harmony in the mind, which is what the Falun Gong movement firmly stands for.
There are Falun Gong followers all over the world. Falun Gong is now brutally persecuted in its country of origin, China. So far, 35,000 people have been arrested, and several hundred of them have been sentenced to prison terms ranging from 2 to 12 years without any evidence being provided.” The prosecutor did not want to accept this court verdict and filed an appeal.
After a thorough investigation of the District Court's verdict, the Court of Appeal decided to affirm the original verdict and refuse further appeals. A similar case occurred in Moldova, where a similar case was considered since September 2008, and only on January 26, 2009, a court decision was made with a verdict that completely rejected the prosecutor’s request and recognized that the Falun Dafa Emblem has nothing to do with the Nazi swastika.
The swastika became popular in European culture in the 19th century, in the wake of the fashion of the Aryan theory. English astrologer Richard Morrison organized the Order of the Swastika in 1869. It is found on the pages of Rudyard Kipling's books. The swastika was also used by the founder of the Boy Scouts, Robert Baden-Powell. In 1915, the swastika, having been widespread in Latvian culture since ancient times, was depicted on the banners of battalions (then regiments) of Latvian riflemen in the Russian army. Occultists and theosophists also attached great importance to this sacred sign. According to the latter, “the swastika... is a symbol of energy in motion that creates the world, breaking holes in space, creating vortices, which are atoms that serve to create worlds.” The swastika was part of the personal emblem of H.P. Blavatsky and decorated almost all printed publications of theosophists.
Suffice it to say that in the Middle Ages the swastika was never opposed to the six-pointed star as a supposedly specific symbol of Judaism. In the miniature for Alfonso Sabaean's "Canticles of Saint Mary", a swastika and two six-pointed stars are depicted next to a Jewish moneylender. Before World War II, a swastika mosaic decorated a synagogue in Hartford (Connecticut).
“Rainbow Swastika” by Hannah Newman, a person who stands on the positions of Orthodox Judaism. In her book, she exposes the so-called “Aquarius conspiracy,” which, in her opinion, is directed against world Jewry. She believes the main enemy of Jewry is the New Age movement, behind which are the mysterious occult forces of the East. For us, its conclusions are valuable in that they confirm our ideas about war, confrontation, two forces - the force of the present era, controlled by the Old Tower, the Black Lodge, and relying on the affirmation of material reality, and the force of the “dynamis”, the New Aeon, the Green Dragon or Ray, the White Lodge, striving to overcome this reality. It is very significant that according to Hannah Newman, Russia is under the control of a conservative Jewish-Christian alliance, preventing the destructive plans of the White Lodge. This explains the wars of the 20th century against Russia, as well as its inevitable “erosion” that we can see in our time.
“The book is called “The Rainbow Swastika” (“Rainbow Swastika”), its author is Hannah Newman. The first edition of the book appeared in March 1997 - the text was posted on the website of the University of Colorado by activists of the Jewish Student Union. Two years later, it was removed from the University of Colorado website without explanation. You can download the full version from the above address. English text 2nd edition (2001).
Written from the racist perspective of Orthodox Judaism, the book is quite detailed analysis philosophy and program of the NEW AGE movement, which the author identifies with the Illuminati and the forces behind the New World Order. In her opinion, Kabbalah is a foreign body in the doctrine of Judaism, a teaching closer to Tibetan BUDDHISM, destroying Judaism from within.
The tenets of the New Age are most clearly set out in the writings of the theorists of the Theosophical Society, founded by Helena Blavatsky (Khan) in 1875. The author traces the following ideological continuity: Helena Blavatsky - Alice Bailey - Benjamin Creme. Blavatsky herself claimed that her works were merely a recording of some esoteric teaching “under the dictation of the Tibetan Masters” named Morya and Koot Hoomi. Another Tibetan Master, Djwahl Kuhl, became Alice Bailey's guru. Almost all international organizations and structures are ideologically aligned with New Age, starting with the UN and UNESCO and ending with such as Greenpeace, Scientology, the World Council of Churches, the Council International Relations, Club of Rome, Bilderbergers, Order of Skull and Bones, etc.
The religious and philosophical basis of NA consists of Gnosticism, Kabbalah, Buddhism, the doctrine of reincarnation and racial karma, with the addition of a hodgepodge of almost all known pagan cults. The main blow of the movement is directed against monotheistic religions. Its goal is the establishment of the satanic cult of Maitreya/Lucifer, the worship of “Mother-Goddess Earth” (Mother Earth, capital “E” - hence Enron, Einstein, the recently activated Etna, etc.), reducing the planet’s population to 1 billion people and the transfer of civilization from a materialistic to a spiritual and mystical path of development. The author calls the New Age movement the “Aquarian Conspiracy,” after the title of a 1980 book by Marilyn Ferguson. The final goal is even more incredible, I will talk about it below.
The more down-to-earth and concrete guidelines of the Aquarian Conspiracy (since 1975 it has become OPEN) are the following four main goals:
Overcoming the PROBLEM OF TERRITORIAL POSSESSIONS, that is, the elimination of sovereign national state entities.
Resolving the PROBLEM OF SEX or changing the motivation of sexual relationships - their only goal should be “production physical bodies for the reincarnation of souls."
Rethinking and Declining psychological VALUE INDIVIDUAL LIFE to carry out a GLOBAL CLEANING on the planet, eliminate all opponents of the New Age and carry out a WORLD INITIATION into the cult of Lucifer.
The Final Solution to the Problem of the Jews and Judaism.
There are 5 World Control Centers in establishing the NEW WORLD ORDER: London, New York, Geneva, Tokyo and Darjeeling (India). Benjamin Krem called Mikhail GORbachev one of the “disciples of Maitreya.” (Hitler was also a New Ager; there is even a whole chapter dedicated to the occult connections of the Nazis. There is nothing new in it, however.)
Inevitable, according to the author, a global collision must occur both on the material and on the spiritual-mystical level due to the intensification of the confrontation between the WHITE AND BLACK LODIES in the era of the change from the ERA OF PISCES (0-2000) to the ERA OF AQUARIUS (2000-4000). Representatives of the Black Lodge (Dark Forces) are supporters of the currently dominant concept of the material world and use the Jews as their tool for programming the consciousness of the masses in line with the dominant ILLUSION of physical reality. The White Lodge is a conductor of spirituality in the world and is under the leadership of a HIERARCHY of certain non-material ASCENDED MASTERS (Ascended Masters). Cosmology, mythology, eschatology and the NEW AGE program are detailed in the works of Blavatsky and Bailey. New Agers have their own TRINITY or LOGOS (apparently, this is the same LOGOS that was at the beginning of everything, according to the Gospel of John): Sanat Kumara (god-demiurge, creator of man), Maitreya-Christ (Messiah) and Lucifer (Satan, carrier light and reason). They form the Planetary Logos and embody the THREE MAIN COSMIC ENERGIES. A whole Hierarchy of masters, sages and teachers of humanity is built under them.
The outbreak of the Third World War is, according to the author, a manifestation on the material level of the clash of the White and Black Lodges (in other words, the clash of Gnostic Satanists with Jewish materialists). Russia is mentioned only once in the book, in the context of a quote from Alice Bailey, who considered it a completely controlled springboard of the BLACK LIE.
Plan.
Tibetan teacher Alice Bailey (Jwal Kul - DK) confirmed the prediction voiced at one time by Helena Blavatsky that the OPEN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN will begin no earlier than the “end of the 20th century.” It must be preceded by INFILTRATION of all layers of society by “agents of change”, the widespread spread of mystical practices, including those associated with the use of drugs to introduce adherents into a “stable state of altered consciousness.” What exactly should such a perversion of consciousness consist of? In the activation of intuition and REJECTION OF LOGICAL THINKING, and ultimately in the complete REJECTION OF OWN “I”, in dissolution in the COLLECTIVE EGREGOR. First, through the widespread cultivation of collective thinking (GROUP THINKING) and general synchronization of consciousness, the construction of ANTAHKARANA is achieved - the mystical horizontal BRIDGE OF THE RAINBOW (“The Rainbow Bridge”). Upon completion of the construction of the horizontal BRIDGE, when the ALL PLANETARY CONSCIOUSNESS is finally created, an attempt must be made to establish spiritual contact with the non-material representatives of the HIERARCHY (White Lodge), i.e., the construction of the VERTICAL ANTAHKARANA. The successful establishment of such contact by HUMANITY will be a prerequisite for its entry into a fundamentally new stage of development. According to one of the main ideologists of NEW AGE, US Vice Presidential candidate from the Democratic Party (1984) BARBARA MARX HUBBARD, the construction of the VERTICAL RAINBOW BRIDGE will be an irreversible change in the history of our civilization. According to other sources, the BRIDGE can only be established for a short period of time and will inevitably fall apart again.
Thus, the current process of GLOBALIZATION is nothing more than an attempt to build a mystical planetary RAINBOW BRIDGE to establish contact with the higher spiritual substances surrounding us. Karl Marx is resting!
All three substances of the LOGOS must sequentially materialize on Earth for the purpose of REACTIVATION OF THE PLAN: first Lucifer, then Maitreya and finally Sanat Kumara. Especially for the Jews, a scenario has already been developed for THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH, which will have to finally dismantle JUDAISM and, possibly, organize the HOLOCAUST - the large-scale liquidation of the Jews as carriers of vicious racial karma.
The author gives numerous examples of total infiltration of even Orthodox Jewish circles by New Agers. The scale of the AQUARIUS CONSPIRACY is stunning; many “non-religious Jews” take an active part in it, so that some researchers consider the NEW AGE movement to be one of the creations of Judaism. However, Hannah Newman is convinced that it is JUDAISM (together with Christianity and Islam) that will become his main victim. The main allies of Orthodox Jews in the fight against the Conspiracy are, in her opinion, Christian Evangelists, due to their ideological closeness to the Jews and the BIBLICAL FANATISM shared by both groups. "
“Ur-Ki” is the name of the oldest capital of the world; capitals of Russian, Jewish, Ukrainian, German, French, Italian, English, Swedish, Danish, Russian, Armenian, Georgian, Azerbaijani, Iranian, Iraqi, Indian, Chinese, Tibetan, Egyptian, Libyan, Spanish, American and almost all other peoples of the world .
“Ur-Ki” is the ancient name of Kyiv, which at first was located just down the Dnieper (in the Cherkassy region, where the ruins of the largest and most ancient city in the world were recently found), and now it is the capital of Ukraine, the sacred city of the first ancestors - Kyiv .
The name of the ancient capital of the world “Ur-Ki” consists of ancient Russian words - the word “Ur” and the word “Ki”. “Ur” is the name of the ancient Russian God the Son, his parents and creators of all things are considered to be God the Father (Almighty) and the Mother Goddess (Agni), who in the first element of fire (Sva) gave birth from the Unmanifested world of images to the Manifested world - that is, who gave birth God the Son of Ur, who is the entire visible Universe. The sacred texts of the Russian Religion say that Ur in its evolution reached the highest form - man. Man is Ur, that is, in form and content, man is the entire known and unknown Universe. Man is the entire immortal Universe and he is outside of time and space, he is infinite and eternal. Ur and Man are Light, One and Eternal. And as it is written in the Kyiv Rig Veda: “We came from the Light and will go into the Light...” This means that the ancient Rus believed that man would continue his evolution and “radiant humanity” would arise, where man would finally develop into the God-man Ur and in form will represent itself as thinking intelligent matter in the form of an immortal shining Light, capable of creating any form.
I have to stop there. Old Russian interpretation of the word “Ur” by what was briefly reported above. I will add that in ancient times (and in the East to this day, which not everyone knows) our self-name was “Urus” or often even simpler “Ury”. Hence the words: “culture” (cult of Ur); “ancestors” (ancestors); Ural (Ural); Uristan (stan of Ur) and thousands of other words in almost all languages of the world. The most ancient symbols of Ur have survived to this day: the battle cry of Russian warriors “Hurray!” and a rotating fiery swastika, elements of which are depicted in the surviving temples of Sophia - the Holy Old Russian Wisdom (in Kyiv, Novgorod, Baghdad, Jerusalem and thousands of other Russian cities on all continents of the world).
The word "Ki" in Old Russian means "land = territory", so the name of ancient Kyiv - "Ur-Ki" in modern Russian means "Divine Land of the First Ancestors". Thus, the origin of the modern word “Kyiv” is not at all from the legendary Prince Kiy, as the enemies of the Russian people deceive, and therefore until the Middle Ages (when the entire world history was falsified in favor of our enemies with the destruction of everything ancient Russian and the fabrication of false ancient “books” ", "monuments", etc.) in all ancient books in all languages, Kyiv was most often called the "Mother City". The expressions “Mother Earth” and “Kyiv Mother” have still survived to this day, contrary to the wishes of our enemies. And the expression: “Kyiv is the Mother of Russian cities!” every schoolchild in the world knows. I draw your attention to “Mother of Russian cities!” Otherwise, the enemies of the Russian people have falsified historical science so much that even those of them who consider themselves “historians” write books about the mysterious “ancestral homeland of the Aryans”, the mysterious “Indo-European proto-civilization”, “northern Hyperborea”, the incomprehensible “Tripoli culture”, unknown where did “Great Mongolia” come from (Great Tartaria = Great Mogolia = Great Russia, etc.) and in all these “scientific works” there is no Kyiv, which means there is no MOTHER and no GOD.
As a result of Russian military campaigns in Europe, China, India, Mesopotamia, Palestine, Egypt, etc., there was a significant influence of our ancient culture on these peoples. In the art of many nations, the ancient Russian “animal style”, “cosmogonic cross”, “magic swastika”, the image of the “secret wheel of history”, horse heads in “vortex cosmic movement” appeared; image of a sword; an image of a horseman piercing a dragon with a spear, where the dragon symbolizes world evil; image of the “Mother Goddess”, where Agni was meant - “goddess of the Fiery Cosmos”; an image of a deer, symbolizing the spiritual beauty of nature, etc. It is not for nothing that modern archaeological scientists find an image of a Russian Rusyn deer and Russian iron swords all over the world - from Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic and from Egypt and India to the Arctic.
Since ancient times, swastika symbolism has been the main and dominant symbol among almost all peoples on the territory of Eurasia: Slavs, Germans, Mari, Pomors, Skalvi, Curonians, Scythians, Sarmatians, Mordovians, Udmurts, Bashkirs, Chuvash, Indians, Icelanders, Scots and many others.
In many ancient Beliefs and religions, the Swastika is the most important and brightest cult symbol. Thus, in ancient Indian philosophy and Buddhism, 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); in Tibetan Lamaism - a protective symbol, a symbol of happiness and a talisman.
In India and Tibet, the Swastika is depicted everywhere: on the walls and gates of temples, on residential buildings, as well as on the fabrics in which all sacred texts and tablets are wrapped. Very often, sacred texts from the Book of the Dead, which are written on funeral covers, are framed with swastika ornaments before cremation.
The swastika, what ancient figurative meaning it carries, what it has meant for many millennia and means now for the Slavs and Aryans and the many peoples inhabiting our Earth. In these means, alien to the Slavs mass media The swastika is called either a German cross or a fascist sign and reduces its image and meaning only to Adolf Hitler, Germany 1933-45, to fascism (National Socialism) and the Second World War. Modern “journalists”, “is-Toriki” and guardians of “universal human values” seem to have forgotten that the Swastika is the oldest Russian symbol, that in past times, representatives of the highest authorities, in order to enlist the support of the people, always made the Swastika a state symbol and placed its image on money .
Nowadays, 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. The Provisional Government used these matrices to issue banknotes in denominations of 250, and later 1000 rubles. Beginning in 1918, the Bolsheviks introduced new banknotes in denominations of 5,000 and 10,000 rubles, on which three Swastika-Kolovrat are depicted: two smaller Kolovrat in the side ligatures are intertwined with large numbers 5,000, 10,000, and a large Kolovrat is placed in the middle. But, unlike the 1000 rubles of the Provisional Government, which had the State Duma depicted on the reverse side, the Bolsheviks placed a double-headed eagle on banknotes. Money with the Swastika-Kolovrat was printed by the Bolsheviks and was in use until 1923, and only after the appearance of USSR banknotes were they taken out of circulation.
Authorities Soviet Russia In order to gain support in Siberia, in 1918 they created sleeve patches for the soldiers of the Red Army of the South-Eastern Front, they depicted the Swastika with the abbreviation R.S.F.S.R. inside. But the Russian Government of A.V. Kolchak did the same, calling under the banner of the Siberian Volunteer Corps; Russian emigrants in Harbin and Paris, and then the National Socialists in Germany.
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 state symbols of Germany (1933-1945). In Mein Kampf, Hitler describes in detail how this symbol was chosen. He personally determined the final form of the swastika and developed a version of the banner, which became the model for all subsequent party flags. Hitler believed that the new flag should have the same effectiveness as a political poster. The Fuhrer also writes about colors for the party flag, which were considered, but were rejected. White “was not a color that captivates the masses,” but was most suitable “for virtuous old maids and for all kinds of Lenten unions.” Black was also rejected as it was far from eye-catching. The combination of blue and white colors was excluded because they were the official colors of Bavaria. The white and black combination was also unacceptable. There was no question of a black-red-gold banner, since it was used by the Weimar Republic. Black, white and red were inappropriate in their old combination due to the fact that they "represented the old Reich, which died as a result of its own weaknesses and mistakes." Nevertheless, Hitler chose these three colors because, in his opinion, they were better than all the others (“this is the most powerful accord of colors that is possible”). Not any swastika fits the definition of “Nazi” symbols, but only a four-pointed one, standing on an edge at 45°, with the ends directed to the right. This very sign was on the state banner of National Socialist Germany from 1933 to 1945, as well as on the emblems of civil and military services. Few people now know that in Germany the National Socialists did not use the Swastika, but a symbol similar to it in design - Hakenkreuz, which has a completely different figurative meaning - changing the world around us and a person’s worldview.
By the way, in the minds of the soldiers who saw crosses on Wehrmacht tanks during World War II, it was these Wehrmacht crosses that were fascist crosses and Nazi symbols.
For many millennia, different designs of swastika symbols have had a powerful influence on people’s lifestyles, their psyche (Soul) and subconscious, uniting representatives of different tribes for some bright purpose; gave a powerful surge of light divine forces, revealing the internal reserves in people for comprehensive creation for the benefit of their Clans, in the name of justice, prosperity and well-being of their Fatherland.
At first, only the clergy of various Tribal cults, creeds and religions used this, then representatives of the highest state authorities began to use swastika symbols - princes, kings, etc., and after them all kinds of occultists and political figures turned to the Swastika.
After the Bolsheviks completely captured all levels of power, the need for support of the Soviet regime by the Russian people disappeared, because it would be easier to confiscate the values created by the same Russian people. Therefore, in 1923, the Bolsheviks abandoned the Swastika, leaving only the five-pointed star, Hammer and Sickle as state symbols.
In February 1925, the Kuna Indians expelled the Panamanian gendarmes from their territory, announcing the creation of the independent Republic of Tula, on the banner of which was. "Tula" is translated as "people", the self-name of the tribe, and the swastika is their ancient symbol. In 1942, the flag was slightly changed so as not to evoke associations with Germany: a “nose ring” was put on the swastika, “because everyone knows that Germans do not wear nose rings.” Subsequently, the Kuna-Tula swastika returned to its original version and is still a symbol of the independence of the republic.
Until 1933 (the year the Nazis came to power), the swastika was used as a personal coat of arms by the writer Rudyard Kipling. For him, she embodied Strength, Beauty, Originality and Illumination. Thanks to Paul Klee, the swastika became the emblem of the avant-garde artistic and architectural association Bauhaus.
In 1995, an incident occurred in Glendale, California, when a small group of anti-fascist fanatics attempted to force city officials to replace 930 (!) light poles installed between 1924 and 1926. Reason: the cast iron pedestals are surrounded by an ornament of 17 swastikas. The local Historical Society had to prove with documents in hand that the poles purchased at one time from the Union Metal Company of Canton (Ohio) had nothing to do with the Nazis, and therefore could not offend anyone’s feelings. The swastika design was based both on classical art and on the indigenous traditions of the Navajo Indians, for whom the swastika had long served as an auspicious sign. In addition to Glendale, similar poles were installed in other places in the county in the 1920s.
The main symbol of fascism is certainly the fascia (from the Latin fascis, a bunch), which Benito Mussolini borrowed from Ancient Rome. The fasces were rods tied with a leather belt, with a lictor's hatchet inserted inside. Such bundles were carried by lictors (servants under the highest magistrates and some priests) in front of those accompanied by them. government official. The rods symbolized the right of punishment, the ax of execution. Inside Rome, the ax was removed, since here the people were the highest authority for death sentences. When Mussolini founded his Italian Nationalist Movement in March 1919, his banner was the tricolor with the lictor's hatchet, symbolizing the unity of war veterans. The organization was called “Fashi di Combattimento” and served as the basis for the creation of the fascist party in 1922. It should be remembered that fasces are a common decorative element of the classicism style, in which many buildings of the 18th and early 19th centuries were built. (including in St. Petersburg and Moscow), therefore their use in the context of this style is not “fascist”. In addition, fasces with hatchets and a Phrygian cap became a symbol of the French Revolution of 1789.
In number Nazi symbols You can include specific emblems of the SS, Gestapo and other organizations operating under the auspices of the Third Reich. But the elements that make up these emblems (runes, oak leaves, wreaths, etc.) should not be prohibited in themselves.
A sad case of “swastikophobia” is the regular (since 1995) cutting down of larch trees in the public sector forest near Zernikov (60 miles north of Berlin). Planted in 1938 by a local businessman, each fall the larches formed a yellow swastika of needles among the evergreen pines. The swastika of 57 larches with an area of 360 m^2 could only be seen from the air. After the reunification of Germany, the question of felling arose in 1992, and the first trees were destroyed in 1995. By 2000, 25 of the 57 larches had been cut down, according to the Associated Press and Reuters, but authorities and the public are concerned that the symbol may still be visible. This is indeed a serious matter: young shoots are creeping out from the remaining roots. The pity here is caused, first of all, by people whose hatred has reached the brink of psychosis.
The Sanskrit exclamation “svasti!” translated, in particular, as “good!” and to this day sounds in the rituals of Hinduism, framing the pronunciation of the sacred syllable AUM (“AUM Tackle!”). Analyzing the word “swastika”, Gustav Dumoutier divided it into three syllables: su-auti-ka. ou root meaning "good", "good", superlative or suridas, "prosperity". Auti is the third person singular form of indicative mood present tense from the verb as “to be” (Latin sum). Ka is a substantive suffix.
The Sanskrit name suastika, wrote Max Müller to Heinrich Schliemann, is close to the Greek “perhaps”, “possible”, “allowed”. There is an Anglo-Saxon name for the swastika sign, Fylfot, which R.F. Greg derived from fower fot, four-footed, i.e. "four-" or "many-legged". The word Fylfot itself Scandinavian origin and consists of Old Norse fiel, equivalent to Anglo-Saxon fela, German viel (“many”) and fotr, foot (“foot”), i.e. "multipede" figure. However, in the scientific literature, both Fylfot and the above-mentioned “tetraskelis” with a gammatic cross, and the “hammer of Thor” (Mjollnir), erroneously identified with the swastika, were gradually replaced by the Sanskrit name.
According to M. Müller, the right-handed gamma cross (suastika) is a sign of light, life, holiness and well-being, which corresponds in nature to the spring, waxing sun. The left-handed sign, suavastika, on the contrary, expresses darkness, doom, evil and destruction; it corresponds to the waning, autumn luminary. We find a similar line of reasoning in the Indologist Charles Beardwood. Suastika - daytime sun, active state, day, summer, light, life and glory; this set of concepts is expressed by the Sanskrit pradakshina, manifested through the masculine principle, protected by the god Ganesha. Suavastika is also the sun, but underground or nocturnal, passive, winter, darkness, death and obscurity; it corresponds to the Sanskrit prasavya, feminine and goddess Kali. In the annual solar cycle, the left-sided swastika is a symbol of the summer solstice, from which daylight begins to decrease, and the right-sided winter solstice, from which the day gains strength. The main traditions of humanity (Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, etc.) contain both right- and left-sided swastikas, which are assessed not on a “good-evil” scale, but as two sides of a single process. Thus, “destruction” is not “evil” in the dualistic sense for Eastern metaphysics, but only the other side of creation, etc.
In ancient times, when our Ancestors used the ‘Aryan Runes, the word Swastika was translated as Who Came from Heaven. Since Rune - SVA meant Heaven (hence Svarog - Heavenly God), - C - Rune of direction; Runes - TIKA - movement, coming, flow, running. Our children and grandchildren still pronounce the word tick, i.e. run. In addition, the figurative form - TIKA is still found in everyday words Arctic, Antarctic, mysticism, homiletics, politics, etc.
I’m closer to the traditional version of the Aryan decoding of the word.
Su asti ka: su asti is a greeting, a wish for good luck, prosperity, ka is a prefix denoting a particularly emotional attitude.
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 didn’t think about what German G’s actually are different letters- H and G. Although the number of leading Nazis in 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.

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.
