Not all have our Russia: samovar, and matryoshka boots Bashny.Net

Recently, in the heat of the election one of the politicians said that the Russian people are not able to think of anything of his own. Say, even vodka, samovar and accordion - and they borrowed! We decided to check it out causing the assertion.

Lapti
If you want to humiliate Russia, its name-calling lapotnoy. There's nothing to do - honor of this invention belongs to us. But we somehow ashamed of his people, who came up with a comfortable and practical shoes. That same Japanese are proud of their waraji - the same shoes, woven from rice straw, managing all instill that in these tough ninja walked.

Samovar
On the table must be Russian samovar, which makes foreigners the impression of awe. They respectfully call him "Russian tea machine." In fact, no matter how bitter, priority in the invention of this useful device share the ancient Persians and Chinese. However, here it is not meant for tea.

Garmon
All local guides written that harmony became a Russian folk instrument, is of German origin. However, the Germans in every way trying to distance itself from the "barbarism of the" spihivaya all in Russian. In fact, there was a squeeze us in St. Petersburg in 1783, and invented her brother-Slav - Czech Frantisek Kirshnek.

Shirt
To say that the blouse is not a Russian shirt, then amass a deadly enemies among the patriots. However, bias cut collar with the reception we receive is very late, around XV or even of the XVI century. The invention of the original garment is credited with the Tatars, but quite in vain. Slant Gate - part of the steppe culture in general, regardless of nationality. The perfect escape from the evil winds - the breast will not sell for anything.

Balalaika
Balalaika, is known to play the entire population of our mysterious country, including bears. And believes it is a simplified version of the dobro, which, in turn, is allegedly a typical oriental instruments. In fact, between the Russian and European lute domra can easily equate. As far as the application of the balalaika, the first mention of it is from 1688 shows clear hooligan deeds "are given in the order strelets Savka Fedorov and Ivashka Dmitriev for what they sang songs and played the balalaika, and the archers have Yauza gate abused and abused ».

Boots
Felt boots that are clearly associated with the Russian-Zimushka winter, come up with, most likely, the Scythian tribes. In any case, for them it is archeology and Pazyryk mound, where they found the first boots. Especially as initially called in Russia boots not the boots, and men's hats, caps, made by the same technology.

Matryoshka
Matryoshka - the undisputed symbol of our country. However, in the West such doll called babushka doll. According to popular belief, the idea of ​​a detachable wooden doll has been borrowed from the Japanese. Ostensibly artist Sergei Malyutin, according to the sketches which Zvёzdochkin turner made the first Russian matryoshka, inspired by the figure of a Japanese sage Fukurumu, which was a few pupae. However, the Japanese themselves are assured that such a figure first machined Russian monk who lived on the island of Honshu. By the way, inserted into each other Easter eggs we did back in those days when nothing at all about Japan was not known. Moreover, there is an assumption that such collapsible chrysalis - a relic of the Slavic paganism, and they represent the ancestors, the founders of the family. So it is quite a way out babushka.

Vodka
Vodka in Russia knew long before we stills that came from Italy only in the late XV century. This word called Herbal strong alcohol. But where he undertook spirits if the unit for distillation has not yet appeared? Russian inquisitive mind came up with a longer but no less a sure way to make seasoned drink. Relatively weak Braga or sustained mead was freeze. Water and fusel oil froze the first piece of ice were thrown, and the rest easily reach 30 degrees fortress.

Vinaigrette
When historians document the XII century found name Bicycle, many thought that the scientists went to the roof. In fact it turned out that hefty clever monk moved his nickname footed Greek. Roughly the same thing happened with the vinaigrette. The old Russian cuisine, the "cold hash" of boiled and pickled vegetables vinaigrette was the love of foreign prettiness, the French title of vinegar - vinaigre. Fortunately, throughout the rest of the world, this appetizer is the proud name of "Russian salad».
