Listening to the national anthem
Each country has a flag, emblem and anthem. Three sources, three components visible part of national sovereignty. When we hear the anthems of other countries? At sporting events. Rarely. Yes, and it is only his musical melody.
Meanwhile, if you carefully listen to texts of the hymns, we can make a lot of conclusions. To understand the soul of the people. And even understand its foreign policy.
I recall a line anthem of Russia.
Russia - our sacred state!
Russia - our beloved country!
A mighty will, a great glory -
Your heritage for all time.
Be glorious, our free Fatherland -
Ancient union of brotherly peoples.
Ancestor given wisdom of the people.
Be glorious, country! We are proud of you!
From the southern seas to the polar region
Spread our forests and fields.
One you are in the world! One you so!
Native land protected by God.
Extremely peaceful and kind words. No aggression. Not a word about the war. Maybe it was not always?
Here is the text of the anthem of the USSR Stalin period.
Unbreakable union of free republics
Great Russia has welded forever.
Created in the will of the peoples
One, the mighty Soviet Union!
Chorus: Be glorious, our free,
Friendship of Peoples reliable bulwark!
Soviet Banner, the banner of national
Let from victory to victory leads!
Through storms the sun of freedom shone to us,
And the great Lenin lit up our way:
Stalin raised us - allegiance to the people,
To labor and heroic deeds inspired us!
We raised our army in battle.
Dastardly invaders swept away from the road!
We are in battle to decide the fate of generations,
We are for the glory of their Motherland will lead!
There are words of the army, there is a line about the struggle against the invaders. But this is understandable - the anthem played for the first time on the night of January 1, 1944. This is a military anthem. In an 1972 mention of the war has disappeared, as the mention of Stalin, whose place in the hymn, Lenin appeared. The final verse looked:
The victory of the immortal ideas of communism
We see the future of our country,
And the red banner of the glorious fatherland
We will always selflessly true!
We have before us a hymn peace-loving countries. No external aggression, love of country. Even in the Soviet variant - not a word about wanting to bring happiness to other peoples ideas of communism, or what else. No aggression.
To complete the experiment, let us remember also the anthem of czarist Russia.
God Save the Tsar!
Strong, Sovereign,
Reign in the glory, the glory of us!
Reign of fear enemies,
Orthodox King!
God Save the Tsar!
Serving the Emperor, Faith and service to the Motherland. Not a single word about the aggression.
What conclusion can be drawn? Russia has always been a country striving for peace, and the people of Russia peace-loving and gentle people. But the story is very often forced us to take up arms to protect their land.
Now read lines from the hymns of England, USA and France. Against the background of the line Russian anthem of all time, it's just a song of the child.
US:
... And the rockets red blinding light, bombs ruptures in the air,
We confirmed through the night that our flag stayed there.
Tell the star-studded flag flutters More
Above ground free and the home of the brave? ..
France:
To arms, citizens,
Build battalions,
Come, come!
Let impure blood
Saturate our fields!
UK:
Oh, Lord God, arise
And acceleration of our enemies,
Bring them to death,
Destroy their vile venture,
Confuse their political intrigues!
We look at you all hope!
God save the Queen!
As they say - everything is visible to the naked eye. Those who seek peace, and who, to put it mildly, takes a different view ...
(Of course, it is necessary to take into account the historical context that created the hymns, but in the hymn of Russia, which fought in its entire history, no strings like "Next, the heirs Nevsky impregnated with impure blood father's land, raised our flag over them» ...).
