What does the cross mean in Buddhism? Why did the Nazis choose the swastika as their symbol?

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-hand swastika found in pre-Aryan culture in the Indus River basin and in ancient China about 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 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 - it must simultaneously be located in two of its own spherical spaces: left-handed 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 image each other, they are asymmetrical.

According to Tao, the Universe is powered by the energy of two principles: active radiating masculinity Yang (in our case this is the right space) and the passive absorbing female Yin (the 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 of Eternal Life into a force of 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. Hitler when he decided to make a swastika state symbol, hoped that the swastika would bring him and the Third Reich good luck, but in his actions he clearly did not move in the direction of the Rule (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 simply 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 Kolovrat is on military uniform 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. Found by archaeologists in 1986 on Southern Urals ancient city Arkaim 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 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 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, among the corpses of the last defenders of Nazism, about a thousand bodies of people from Tibet were found.

Ignorant London reviewers of the film about the Romanovs called Empress Alexandra Feodorovna a “fascist Brünnhilde.” And the empress just 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, to 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 III millennium BC.). So the swastika may have entered into ancient cultures 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 penetrated into Tibet, then into Central Asia and to China. Another century later, it appeared in Japan and Southeast Asia along 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.

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 right hand a ring with the image of a swastika, into which was set a magnificent ruby ​​- a 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 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 it's hers modern interpretation, and not its significance in religious cults.

As for the origins of the swastika, we can definitely say that it is very ancient sign, unfortunately, discredited in the 20th century by 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 on Globe there were two civilizations - 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?

One Russian tourist, having visited Southeast Asia, reported in in social networks about your impressions. In Bangkok, he saw a man who had a large swastika on the front and back of his T-shirt.

The tourist's blood rushed to his head. He wanted to immediately explain to the stupid native what kind of disgusting thing he was wearing. But, having cooled down a little, the Russian decided to abstain from communication: maybe local just doesn’t know anything about “German fascism”? Nevertheless, the shock from what he saw was so great that, upon returning home, he turned to the forum visitors with the question: “What to do in such a situation?”

Swastikas past and present

Indeed, most Asians do not know who Hitler is. Some may have heard of World War II. But it’s unlikely that even the most educated people. But in India, almost everyone knows well that the swastika is a symbol of prosperity, the sun, a sign of favorable destinies. Not a single wedding in India, Nepal, South Korea cannot do without this symbol.

The swastika appeared in ancient times and was widespread throughout Eurasia. It is an integral part of Buddhism, with which it came to China, Siam and Japan. This symbol is also used by other religions. IN late XIX- at the beginning of the 20th century, due to the fascination with the culture of the East, the swastika became very popular in Europe.

In the summer of 1917, the Russian Provisional Government even placed a large swastika on the 250-ruble bill, against the backdrop of a double-headed eagle. Some white units placed the swastika on their shoulder straps. The Bolsheviks also did not escape the general trend and used the swastika as a revolutionary symbol.

The seal of the Moscow Provincial Council of Workers' and Peasants' Deputies of 1919 in the form of a swastika looks especially impressive today. The red sleeve patch of the Red Army soldiers of the South-Eastern Front with a star and swastika is also impressive. In the end, People's Commissar Lunacharsky harshly stopped this “disgrace” in 1922.

Currently, Europeans perceive the swastika only as a symbol of Nazism (the National Socialist Party of Germany) with all its horrors. Today it is difficult to imagine that our distant and not so distant ancestors found something attractive in this symbol, it seems so sinister to us.

The denial of the swastika is firmly ingrained in the consciousness of most European peoples. But humanity consists not only of Europeans, and this has to be taken into account, especially when traveling abroad. As they say, you don’t go to someone else’s monastery with your own rules.

Fascia among the Nazis

The symbol of fascism, the fascia, unlike the swastika, is not a sign that causes irritation in the post-Soviet space. And in Europe they treat him very tolerantly. One of the reasons, apparently, lies in the fact that the fascists did not cause as much trouble as the Nazis. At the very least, they were “only” going to conquer other peoples, but not destroy them.

Fasces on the facade of the Central Station, Milan.

It should be noted here different understanding the term “fascism” in the former USSR and the rest of the world. On the initiative of I. Stalin, the Comintern (an international association of communist parties under the control of the Soviet leadership) proposed calling the National Socialists “German fascists.” Fascists are members of the Italian radical party created by B. Mussolini.

The fact is that then certain difficulties arose in identifying the enemy. Hitler's party, the NSDAP, was considered both socialist and workers, had a red flag and celebrated the proletarian holiday of May 1. Explaining to not very literate people how Hitler’s socialism differed from Stalin’s was simply an impossible task. And with the term " German fascists“There were no problems. In Soviet Union.

But it did not take root in Europe, despite all the efforts of the Comintern. People there just didn't understand what we were talking about we're talking about, when instead of the usual word “Nazi” they heard the long and indigestible “German fascism”. Therefore, European communist parties, in order to be understood by their compatriots, were forced to use the generally accepted term - “Nazi”.

Fascia is a symbol of power in Ancient Rome

The term “fascism” itself comes from the word “fascia”. Fascia was a symbol of power in Ancient Rome. It was a bundle of birch twigs into which an ax was stuck. Fasces were worn by lictors - accompanying persons and at the same time guards of high-ranking officials.

Lictor with fasces

Later, in heraldry, fasces became a symbol of state and national unity, a symbol of the defense of the state. This symbol is still widely used today. Fascia is present in the symbolism of Russian federal services execution of punishments and bailiffs. It is also on the emblem of the Ukrainian Ministry of Emergency Situations. And in the coat of arms of France, the fascia is even a central element.

Mussolini used the fascia on the banner of the fascist party as a symbol of the unity of the state and the people, of all levels of society - from the rich and noble to the poorest. In general, something similar to famous slogan"The people and the party are united."

Of course, one cannot call all structures, and especially states, fascist because of the presence of fasces on their banners and coats of arms. Fascia was luckier than the swastika. - She doesn’t cause such rejection. Although in Moscow from 1997 to 2002 there was a law providing for punishment for promoting fascia.

Red Star

A very popular symbol is the red star. After October revolution, when the question arose about the symbolism of the Red Army, they settled on a five-pointed red star. The Red Star in May 1918 was officially, by order of Trotsky, declared the emblem of the Red Army. In this order she was called “the star of Mars with a plow and a hammer.”

The god of war, Mars, in the then Soviet tradition was considered the protector of peaceful labor. After some time the plow was replaced with a sickle. The red star emblem was worn on the chest. But later a star began to be worn on hats instead of cockades.

The five-pointed star (pentacle, pentagram) has been known for almost 6000 years. She was a symbol of safety and protection from all kinds of adversity. The pentagram was used different religions and peoples. But during the Inquisition, the attitude towards the pentagram in Europe changed radically, and it began to be called “the witch’s foot.” Later it was clarified that the symbol of Satan is only an inverted star - when one ray is directed downward, and two rays looking up form, as it were, horns.

And a star “standing on two legs” is quite pleasing to God. The “flaming” pentagram, with tongues of flame between the rays of the star, is one of the main symbols of the Freemasons. Already with early XIX centuries, stars “climbed” onto epaulettes and shoulder straps.

The stars on the American flag were originally eight-pointed. But under the influence of local Masons they were very quickly replaced with five-pointed ones. The US military, like its Soviet counterparts, uses the pentacle to represent nationality military equipment.

"George Ribbon"

Lately, the red star, the only symbol Soviet army and her victories, a competitor appeared - orange-black " George Ribbon" For all its visual attractiveness and even similarity to the St. George Ribbon, it is inappropriate to call it that. On the real St. George's ribbon there are three black and two yellow stripes, which symbolize the three deaths and two resurrections of St. George the Victorious.

From 1917 to 1992 St. George Ribbon was not used in any Soviet awards. But she was involved in the White Army and the Russian Corps, which fought on the side of Hitler. A person with such a ribbon, who fell into the hands of the NKVD or Smersh during the war, best case scenario would have been sent to a concentration camp. The current “St. George’s ribbon” repeats the colors of the blocks of the Order of Glory and the medal “For Victory over Germany” and in no way relates to the life and death of St. George the Victorious.

In any case, the Russians liked the ribbon and are perceived today as a symbol of the Great Patriotic War. She is perceived the same way in Belarus. But in Ukraine the perception of this symbol is ambiguous.
People who are nostalgic for the USSR, although they claim that it is a symbol of the past war, still perceive the ribbon as a symbol of the Soviet past. Another part of the population has a very negative attitude towards the ribbon, considering it an element of “imperial” propaganda, along with other Soviet symbols.

Meaning of swastika

Today the swastika is symbol, which everyone associates only with evil and war. The swastika is falsely associated with fascism. This symbol has nothing to do with fascism, war, or Hitler, and this is a misconception for many people!

Origin of the swastika

The swastika symbol is tens of thousands of years old. Initially the swastika meant our galaxy, because If you look at the rotation of the galaxy, you can see a connection with the “swastika” sign. This association served as the beginning for the further use of the swastika sign. The Slavs used the swastika as amulets; they decorated houses and temples with this sign, and applied it as an ornament to clothes and weapons. For them, this sign was a symbolic image of the sun. And for our ancestors, he represented all the brightest and purest things in the world. And not only for the Slavs, for many cultures it meant peace, goodness and faith. So how did it happen that such good sign, carrying a thousand-year history, suddenly became the personification of everything bad and terrible in the world?

In the Middle Ages, the symbol was forgotten, and only occasionally appeared in patterns.
And only in the 1920s the swastika “saw” the world again. Then the swastika began to be depicted on the helmets of militants, and already in next year it was officially recognized as the emblem of the fascist party. And subsequently Hitler performed under banners with the image of a swastika.

What types of swastikas exist?

But here we need to clarify and dot all the i's. The swastika is a two-valued symbol, because can be depicted as having curved clockwise both ends and against. And both of these images carry completely opposite meanings, balancing each other. The swastika, the rays of which are directed to the left (i.e. counterclockwise) means the rising sun, goodness and light. The swastika, which is depicted clockwise, has the opposite meaning and means evil, misfortune and troubles. Now let's remember which swastika was Hitler's emblem. Exactly the last one. And this swastika has nothing to do with the ancient symbols of goodness and light.

Therefore, there is no need to confuse these two symbols. The swastika can still serve as a talisman for you if you draw it correctly. And people who widen their eyes in fear at the sight of this symbol need to make an excursion into history and tell about the ancient symbol of our ancestors, which made the world kinder and brighter.

Yesterday's arrangement brought an indescribable feeling of Unity.
Already in my second arrangement archetypes and sacred symbols are shown.
The swastika symbol is a manifestation of my attitude towards the Great Patriotic War(war is the price of life) and Indian sacred meaning swastika symbol - managed to unite.
The swastika symbol appeared in the way the 4 deputy figures stood.
The sacred meaning of the arrangement shone through for me through the ordinary phrases and words of the substitutes. And I didn't need words!

Yesterday was the 19th Lunar day.
Symbol of the 19th Lunar day- Indian swastika (Zervan), a sign of all manifested and unmanifested worlds.

Light and Darkness, which through their struggle form the existence of the real world.

This symbol has many meanings - not only the sun, but also samsara, the wheel of reincarnation. The four rays symbolize the four elements, as well as the four segments of human life. The first is growth and learning. The second is marriage and raising children. The third is training young people. The fourth is serving God.

The swastika also implies the idea of ​​​​moving in two directions: clockwise and
counterclock-wise. Like "Yin" and "Yang", a dual sign: rotating along
the sentry symbolizes masculine energy, counterclockwise - women's.

In addition, the swastika has the meaning of royal power.
Recently, this symbol has been completely associated with Ganesha and Lakshmi.

The swastika symbolizes all gods and goddesses, and that all gods have one
source - in this case, a symbol is added to the line of intersection of the lines (cross)
Ohm.
Swastika卐(Sanskrit. svasti, greeting, good luck) - a cross with curved ends (“rotating”), directed either clockwise or counterclockwise. The swastika is one of the most ancient and widespread graphic symbols. For most ancient peoples, it was a symbol of the movement of life, the Sun, light, and prosperity.

The swastika reflects rotational movement with its derivative - translational and is capable of symbolizing philosophical categories.

The word "swastika" is a composite of two Sanskrit roots: su, “good, good” and asti, “life, existence,” that is, “well-being” or “well-being.”

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. A symbolic cross-shaped sign consisting of four letters G of the Greek alphabet, interconnected by their bases or four human legs emanating from one, common center.
The swastika in India has traditionally been viewed as a solar sign - a symbol of life, light, generosity and abundance.

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.

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.

According to one theory special kind swastikas, symbolizing the rising Sun, the victory of Light over Darkness, Eternal life above death, was called Kolovrat ( Old Slavonic shape, letters "wheel rotation"; Old Russian form - kolovorot, which had the meaning “spindle”). In general, one can give many more examples that inextricably link the swastika and Rus'.

In the good old days, the Russian people got married under the swastika.

Swastika - the sleeve insignia of Kalmyk formations is designated by the word “lyungtn”, that is, the Buddhist “Lungta”, meaning “whirlwind”, “vital energy”.

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.

In Buddhism, the swastika is also one of the sacred symbols - the sacred knowledge and teachings of the Buddha and His heart.

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).

In the mind of Hitler himself, it symbolized the “struggle for the triumph Aryan race" This choice combined both the mystical occult meaning of the swastika and the idea of ​​the swastika as an “Aryan” symbol (due to its prevalence in India).

However, strictly speaking, the Nazi symbol was not just any swastika, but a four-pointed one, with the ends pointing to the right and rotated 45°. Moreover, it should be in a white circle, which in turn is depicted on a red rectangle.

This is exactly the sign that was on the state banner of National Socialist Germany from 1933 to 1945.

Hitler started the war on the summer solstice.

In Hinduism, there are two ways to depict a swastika - left-handed and right-handed. Both of these symbols are two forms of Brahman, which symbolizes the development of the universe (pravriti) from brahman - clockwise and the folding of the universe (nivriti) into brahman - counterclockwise.
It also has the meaning of the manifestations of Brahman or God in the four cardinal directions - north, south, east, west.

As we can see, there is no indication in the law about the use of Swastika symbols, so why do law enforcement agencies sign it to this law. All this happens due to basic ignorance own history and own language.

Let's understand the terminology gradually.

First, let's look at the term Nazism:
National Socialism (German: Nationalsozialismus, abbreviated as Nazism) is the official political ideology of the Third Reich.

Translating the essence of the title: Carrying out socially oriented changes for development, (although not always) within one nation. Or abbreviated as Change of Nation - Nazism. This system existed in Germany from 1933 to 1945.

Unfortunately, our politicians did not study history at all, otherwise they would have known that from 1917 to 1980, the Socialist system, which was called International Socialism, was officially adopted in our country. What is translated: Carrying out socially oriented changes for development, (although not always) within one multinational people. Or abbreviated as International Change of the Nation - Internationalism.

For ease of comparison, I will also give the Latin form of recording these two regimes, Nationalsozialismus and InterNationalsozialismus

In other words, you and I, ladies and gentlemen, were exactly the same Nazis as the inhabitants of Germany.

Accordingly, according to this law, all symbols are prohibited former USSR and modern Russia.

And besides, I will give some statistical data. During the Second World War, more than 20 million people died in Russia. This is a clear reason to have a negative attitude towards the Political regime of Germany in the 30s. During the 1918 revolution in Russia (during repressions), more than 60 million people died. In my opinion, the reason for the negative attitude towards Soviet power 3 times more.

But at the same time, the symbol of the Swastika, which was used by the Nazis, is banned in the Russian Federation, and the Bolshevik symbols “Red Star” and “Hammer and Sickle” are symbols national treasure. In my opinion, this is a clear injustice.

I deliberately do not use the term Fascism in relation to Nazi Germany, for this is another, very important misconception. There never was and never could have been fascism in Germany. It flourished in Italy, France, Belgium, Poland, Great Britain, but not in Germany.

Fascism (Italian fascismo from fascio “bundle, bundle, association”) - as a political science term, is a general name for specific far-right political movements, their ideology, as well as the dictatorial-type political regimes they lead.

In a narrower historical sense, fascism is understood as mass political movement, which existed in Italy in the 1920s - early 1940s under the leadership of B. Mussolini.

This can be simply confirmed by the fact that fascism implies a cohesive unification of the church and statehood into one body or board, and in Nationalist Germany the church and the state were separated and oppressed in every possible way.

By the way, the Symbol of Fascism is not a swastika, but 8 arrows tied with a ribbon (Fashina is a bunch).

In general, we have more or less figured out the terminology, now let’s move on to the Swastika symbol itself.

Let's consider the Etymology of the word Swastika, but based on the original source of the language, and not, as everyone is used to, based on the roots of the Sanskrit language. In Sanskrit the translation is also very favorable, but we will look for the essence, and not adjust what is convenient to the truth.

The swastika consists of two words and a connective: Sva (Sun, the primordial energy of the universe, Inglia), the S-preposition of conjunction and Tika (quick movement or circular motion). That is, Swa with Tik is the Swastika, the Sun with rotation or movement. Solstice!

This ancient symbol is used Slavic culture since its inception, and has several hundred various variations. Also, this ancient symbol is used by many other religions, including Buddhism. But for some reason, when this symbol is depicted on Buddha statues, no one classifies Buddhists as fascists or Nazis.

What about Buddhism? In the tradition of Russian patterns and ornaments, swastikas are found at every step. And even on Soviet money there was a swastika symbol, exactly the same as in Nationalist Germany, except that it was not black.

So why are we, or rather our (not our) authorities, trying to denigrate this symbol and put it out of use. Unless they are afraid of his true power, which can open their eyes to all their atrocities.

Absolutely all the galaxies that exist in our space have the shape of a swastika, so the ban on this symbol is simply pure absurdity.

Well, enough of the negative talk, let's take a closer look at the Swastikas themselves.
Swastika symbols have two main types of orientation:
Right-sided solstice - rays directed to the left create the effect of rotation to the right. This is a symbol of creative solar energy, a symbol of birth and development.

Left-sided solstice - the rays are directed to the right, creating the effect of rotation to the left. This is a symbol of the energy of “destruction”. The word is deliberately placed in quotation marks, because there is no pure destruction in the universe. So that a new one is born solar system, first one of the suns must explode, that is, destructure and be cleared of old program. Then new creation occurs. Accordingly, the left-sided swastika is a symbol of Purification, healing, and renewal. And wearing or using this symbol does not destroy, but purifies.

Therefore, it is important to carefully select this symbol based on the changes you want to achieve.

The Slavic Swastika is one of the most powerful symbols that has ever existed in the universe. It is stronger than Runika, because it is understood in any galaxy and any universe. This universal symbol being. Treat this symbol with Respect and do not attribute it to just one people. And even more so to one extremely small event on the scale of the universe.
