Alexander 3 allies army fleet. “Russia has two allies: the army and the navy,” Alexander the Third (Unified State Examination, social studies). Russia set fire to Notre Dame Cathedral: another pearl from Radio Liberty

Russian President Vladimir Putin took part in the opening ceremony of the monument to Emperor Alexander III. The monument was erected in the park of the Livadia Palace in Yalta. The Russian leader noted the huge contribution of the tsar to the development of the country and expressed confidence that the current generation, like their great ancestors, would do everything for the prosperity of the Motherland.

The head of state noted that Alexander III felt personally responsible for the country, was an outstanding statesman and a patriot, a man with strong character, courageous, with an unbending will.

Alexander III defended the interests of the country directly and openly. And such a policy ensured the growth of Russia's influence, the increase of its authority in the world. The industrial potential of the country developed rapidly and dynamically, while progressive labor legislation for that time, ahead of the practice of many other states of the world, protecting the rights of workers, was adopted. Plants and factories were opened, new industries were created, the network of railways, the president stressed. - At the same time, he believed that a strong, sovereign, independent state should rely not only on economic and military power, but also on traditions, that it is important for a great people to preserve their identity, and moving forward is impossible without respect for their history, culture and spiritual values.

The President recalled that under Alexander III there was a large-scale rearmament, but this did not lead to major conflicts.

His contemporaries called him the king-peacemaker, but, as Sergei Yulievich Witte noted, he gave Russia these 13 years of peace not by concessions, but by fair and unshakable firmness. Alexander III defended the country's interests directly and openly, and such a policy ensured the growth of Russia's influence and its authority in the world, the head of state noted.

The monument was donated to the museum by the Union of Artists of Russia. The author is the head of the Union of Artists, People's Artist of Russia Andrei Kovalchuk. The monument was erected in the park of the Livadia Palace, where the emperor and his family liked to relax. The four-meter monument was made of bronze at one of the Ural factories. The emperor is depicted seated on a tree frame in military uniform and leaning on a sword - a symbol of the king-peacemaker, under which Russia did not participate in major conflicts. One of the most famous phrases is applied on a white pedestal Alexander III: "Russia has only two allies - its army and navy."

Behind the sculpture is a horizontal stele depicting achievements known during the reign of the emperor: industrialization, military construction, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the Trans-Siberian Railway, the Historical Museum, the Tretyakov Gallery. The composition also includes prominent historical figures of that era: writer Fyodor Dostoevsky, chemist Dmitry Mendeleev, writer Leo Tolstoy, composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Above the stele is a double-headed eagle. The complex also includes a flagpole with the Russian tricolor, which was approved as the main flag of Russia during the reign of Alexander III.

After the opening ceremony, the President talked to the Crimeans. Seeing that one of the girls was wearing a warm fur coat, the president was surprised.

It's hot, here I am from St. Petersburg, where you can wear a fur coat. I'm joking, of course, - the head of state smiled and asked what university his interlocutor was studying at.

The girl, whose name was Polina, as it turned out, is studying to be a journalist. Hearing this, Vladimir Putin asked with interest what she would write about the monument. The student noticed that she would have collected various memoirs about the life of Alexander III in one book.

Let's implement this project, and I will find a sponsor for you. Honestly, the president suddenly promised.

Among those who wanted to talk to the head of state was a little boy. Upon learning that his name was Alexander, Vladimir Putin asked:

Did you see what monument was built to your namesake?

The parents of young Alexander, in response, expressed the hope that the boy would strive for the same success as his famous namesake.

The article gives answers to the questions: what is the significance of language for building a civilization of creation; why the basis for building a civilization of creation in Russia is the Russian language; why the conscience and morality of the people depend on the language? The division of speech into the language of truth (the language of creation) and the language of lies (the language of destruction) is described, the significance of such a division is explained. The article is accompanied by a table distinguishing between the language of truth (the language of creation) and the language of lies (the language of destruction).

The Importance of Language in Civilization Building

It is impossible to build a creative society,
using destructive terms.

Every creator needs to improve in discrimination,
expose manifestations of the language of destruction
and spread the language of truth - the language of creation.

Language is a system that enables communication and transmission of information between people and even between generations separated by significant periods of time, for example, through writing, and now also through cinema and other forms of technical recording. In addition, language is also the medium through which information is processed.

Languages ​​differ by place of origin: Russian, English, French and others. Also, languages ​​are being created in the world for various fields of activity: the language of chemistry, physics, there is the language of programmers, medical workers, economists, bankers, there is the language of the underworld and others. These languages ​​do not live in isolation, and some concepts from narrow languages ​​gradually flow into the common speech of the majority of the population of a particular society.

Due to the system of concepts of any language, native speakers of this language have the opportunity to understand each other and unite in joint activities. There are also languages ​​that perform the function of hiding information, they are deliberately made incomprehensible to most people - they will be discussed below. In addition, the words of a particular language often, due to emotional coloring, convey moral assessments for the phenomena denoted by these words.

For example, according to the language of affirmation and preservation of Sobriety, actively used by the sober movement in Russia, alcohol intake is called "alcohol self-poisoning" - words with a negative emotional connotation. The same process is called “using strong drinks”, “drinking beer, wine” and other positively colored words. As you can see, one and the same phenomenon can be described in a creative, truthful language, using the words "alcohol self-poisoning", but when using the language of lies (the language of destruction), you can hide the harmful effect of alcohol by hiding it with the words "drinking".

In turn, representatives of the civilization of creation take retaliatory measures to protect morality and increase the viability of society, developing a creative terminological apparatus. An example of this is the language of the affirmation and preservation of Sobriety, which became the basis for writing this work.

Thus, humanity has two encompassing languages: the language of lies (the language of destruction) and the language of truth (the language of creation). By spreading the language of lies (language of destruction) among the citizens

  • the ability to understand surrounding events and predict their consequences is impaired,
  • society's morality is declining,
  • sobriety is taken away,
  • destruction of natural family values,

which facilitates appropriation and acquisitiveness by narrow circles of a destructive-appropriating civilization. The language of lies (the language of destruction) reduces the viability of large sections of humanity.

The second language, the language of truth (the language of creation), is understandable, the words in this language truly reflect the usefulness or harmfulness of certain phenomena for humanity, thanks to which the use of the language of truth allows people to build a fair world order.

Words define morality

Each concept represents the relationship of a word and an image corresponding to the word. Moreover, what will be the image of the phenomenon in the minds of people, what will be the emotional, moral assessment of the phenomenon by people - largely depends on the word used. For example, the words “love”, “tenderness” have a soft, melodic consonance and these words form a favorable attitude towards the phenomena denoted by these words, but the words “muck”, “anger”, “abomination” subconsciously cause a negative assessment of the phenomena denoted by these words, this occurs largely unconsciously, due to the fact that these words have a sharp, rough sound. The words themselves help to understand our world on the basis of the wisdom of the people accumulated in the language. The emotional coloring of words is an important aspect of constructing a language of creation.

The leading strata of the destructive-appropriating civilization understand this, and the violation of society's understanding of reality plays into their hands. Most clearly, the substitution of concepts can be traced in the example of the promotion of sexual perversions. For example, according to the Vperyod, Citizens community in Moscow, at VDNKh in 2018, the early introduction of “sex education classes in schools” was proposed, which are inherently corrupting children. In these lessons, it is planned to introduce school curriculum the concept of "gender" instead of the usual concept for us "sex". Gender ideologists deny the concept of "sex" and introduce the concept of "gender" - something like "social sex", that is, a semblance of sex chosen by a person independently, but this word does not have a clear definition. Thus, with the help of substitution of concepts, children European countries now they are making them doubt their gender, they are trying to push the same thing in Russia. Also in these lessons of sexual corruption, the concepts of "homophobia" and "transphobia" are introduced, by which people with natural family values ​​are equated with sick people. Instead of the concepts of "husband", "bugger", "sexual pervert", we are now being imposed with neutral or positively colored words, such as "gay", "homosexual" and others. Thus, representatives of a destructive-appropriating civilization change the morality of people. The destruction of natural family values, first of all, begins with a change in language.

When a word that truly depicts a phenomenon is replaced by another neutral or attractive word, according to the rules of Western science, this is called "euphemization". This word comes from the Greek. ἐυφήμη - "praise", but in reality the word "euphemization" is also a manifestation of the language of lies, because this phenomenon does not bring anything "good" to society. For example, to refer to the murder of children in the womb, the inexpressive, abstract word "abortion" is used. At the same time, an unborn person is called a “fetus”, thereby equating to inanimate objects (vegetables, fruits) and deprived of any legislative protection - this substitution of concepts helps to justify the admissibility of intrauterine murder of children. Destroyers in Western Europe and in the United States of America they go even further and propose to introduce the concepts of “postnatal abortion” and “postnatal abortion” into the legal field, covering up their proposals with these words to allow, at the request of parents, to kill already born, including healthy children.

Often now there is a replacement of the word "cohabitation" with the words "civil marriage". Initially, the expression "civil marriage" meant a marriage formalized in the relevant state authorities without the participation of the church. Cohabitation in fact is not a marriage, it is already a forgery. In addition, in order to preserve the morality and family values ​​of society, it is advisable that extramarital affairs be condemned in society, therefore, a word with a negative, condemning connotation should be used to designate them, therefore, it is unacceptable to call cohabitation “civil marriage”. Language is the basis of human morality.

Emotionally neutral, politically correct language, which is often replaced by creative concepts of different cultures and peoples, often serves to conceal the destructive effect of many phenomena and helps to spread these phenomena. Modern world-eaters have united and idealize their false language, calling it political correctness, while claiming the most blissful names for themselves and their henchmen. For example, it is not politically correct to call economic invaders invaders - now they are "investors". It is not politically correct to say “sexual perverts”, supposedly it is necessary to say “persons with a non-traditional sexual orientation”, “gays”. It is not politically correct to say “prostitute” or “whore” – now journalists call them “sex workers”, etc. By the way, the word “correctness” itself means tact, politeness, courtesy, but at the same time it means “accuracy, correctness, clarity. It turns out that if the use of a certain word is considered impolite in a certain circle of people, therefore, it is incorrect and “wrong”. It turns out that truth is not needed to determine what is politically correct - a word reflecting the truth can be declared incorrect if it does not correspond to the order adopted in a particular society. Therefore, it is better to use the concept of “correctness” instead of the concept of “correctness”. The word "correctness" is close in sound to the word "truth", therefore what is called correct must correspond to the truth (objective reality).

By imposing a false language on society, representatives of a destructive-appropriating civilization change people's thinking, systematically deprive people of the opportunity to understand what is good and what is evil, and as a result of the imposition of "political correctness", the intelligibility of information is generally reduced. For example, we are now replacing the concept of "pressure" or "coercion" with the concept of "sanctions". The word “sanctions” sounds soft, so it’s quite calm public consciousness(SFOS) talk about pressure measures (sanctions) from the United States of America, while calling them our "partners" - but this is a deception. So, with the help of lies, they hide from us the weak, dependent position of Russia, and also retouch the true aggressive behavior United States of America. Politicians are specially trained to “smooth out” popular indignation by substituting concepts, as well as by introducing new concepts into speech.

If it is necessary to make a mass layoff of employees, then in a destructive false language it is called the soft word "optimization", as a result of which the vigilance of the creators is muted.

Another example: the bankers of Russia and the world are puzzled to get people to borrow at a significant interest as much and as often as possible. For this, it is very convenient to use the concept of "credit" instead of the truthful concepts of "usurious debt", "interest-bearing debt" or "growing debt". In addition, the expression “loan product” is now spreading, with the help of which citizens get the feeling that lending money to a bank is not a service, but a kind of product or product. When using the expression "credit product", interest-bearers, usurers take on the appearance of creative people engaged in the production of their "products".

Understanding the properties of the emotional coloring of words allows everyone to understand and justify the belonging of a word to the language of truth (the language of creation), or the language of lies (the language of destruction). How to apply this knowledge for creative purposes is described in detail in the last section of this work.

The Russian language is the basis for building the language of truth (the language of creation) in Russia

The Russian language is the state-forming language of Russia, it is the basis for the preservation and development of scientific, cultural, historical heritage Russia and Soviet Union. The use of Russian words is important for citizens to realize the value of Russian culture and awaken love for the Motherland. The Russian language has many other advantages, in order to more accurately describe the meaning of the Russian language, let's compare it with English and with the so-called "international concepts".

The meanings of some Russian words are often more constructive than the meanings of English words. For example, instead of the concept of “Motherland”, like the fatherland, native country, the word “land” is used in English, that is, simply “land”.

Nowadays, the word “manager” is massively spreading. In the Russian Empire there was a profession called "manager", it would seem, why invent and replace Russian word foreign? The word “management” itself basically contains the root “rule”, close to the expressions “make right, correct, correct”. A similar root of "rights" is present in the words "righteous", "truth", "justice", "justice". A person called "manager" or "manager" may subconsciously feel that he must change reality to the correct state, and his subordinates will expect the same from him. When the creative Russian word is replaced by the English-language “manager”, the concept of the high mission of a manager is blurred in the minds of people, which subsequently hits the state of the whole society.

In addition to a more constructive meaning, Russian words are advantageous for building the language of truth (the language of creation) due to the fact that in Russian word formation is easily traced by words with the same root, for example: the words “research” or “investigation” come from the word “trace” - the same Thus, any complex Russian word has a simpler, and most importantly, understandable basis. In the English language, which is being actively promoted today, there is no systemic word formation, since many words in it are collected from Latin, Greek, French, Scandinavian and other languages. The continuity of word formation in the Russian language often allows us to figure out what this or that old or newly created word means, helps to realize the relationship between the phenomena of life - this quality must be preserved.

Undesirable is the excessive ambiguity of words, which is characteristic of the English language. There is also ambiguity in Russian, but in English it is an order of magnitude greater, it is typical for many English words, for example, the word “break”, according to the translator of the Google website, has 85 meanings, including “break”, “lay”, “disperse”, “train”, “train”, “weaken”, etc. Examples of English ambiguity can be given for a very long time.

In addition, many words in English have the same sound but different spellings. The rules for reading in English are extremely vague and there are many exceptions; therefore, in addition to writing, the student has to memorize the pronunciation of each word, for which it is customary to indicate transcription in dictionaries. For example, one creator of an English study guide for seven rules for reading the letter “u” in various letter combinations counted five exceptions. There is an English joke that it is only spelled "Manchester", but pronounced "Liverpool". The famous English linguist Max Muller rightly noted that English spelling is a national disaster. Partly because of this lack, dialects and dialects are multiplying in various parts of the world. of English language which often makes communication difficult. Attempts are regularly made to change this situation, the most famous of which was undertaken by Bernard Shaw: he created a fund, with the funds of which a competition was announced to create a new English alphabet with a clear correspondence between writing and pronunciation. Such an alphabet was created, it has 40 letters, each of which corresponds to only one sound. Despite the advantages of B. Shaw's alphabet, they did not begin to change the usual, disordered English writing.

Due to the lack of clear reading rules, there is a decrease in the quality of transmission, reception of information and thinking based on the English language. The presence in the Russian language of clear rules for reading and pronunciation is of great value.

Russian is a figurative language - most Russian words in our minds have a clear relationship with the phenomena denoted by these words. For example, when teaching sciences stated in Russian, students rarely need dictionaries - Russian speech makes it easier to understand the meaning of what is written, the boundaries of the use of Russian words are often intuitively clear. The same cannot be said for learning based on international concepts, in which it is necessary to carefully memorize the definitions of words. Foreign words are often too abstract, which makes it difficult to connect foreign word with the appropriate image. In this regard, many people who write texts use words whose meaning they do not always understand, or understand the meaning of words differently than readers understand these words, as a result of which the writer’s thought may come off the text he creates. Reading such texts sometimes brings nothing but a headache. In addition, due to speech that is incomprehensible to the majority, a significant part of the information becomes available only to a narrow circle of people who have long studied a set of concepts specific to a particular area. Thus, information is concealed from the uninitiated (from "non-specialists"), which helps to build a society in which narrow layers of a destructive-appropriating civilization will dominate. In addition to hiding information, representatives of a destructive-appropriating civilization often deceive people with words that do not have precise definitions, such as "gender", "tolerance", "democracy" and others. These words are introduced into laws, into sciences, but they do not have a clear definition, which opens up great opportunities for creating false ideals and other varieties of deception.

Communication in Russia at all levels, especially in the political environment, should be conducted in the Russian literary language, it is unacceptable to replace Russian words with foreign ones, because:

  • Russian words are most often figurative, precise and understandable;
  • the meaning of Russian words is fixed in dictionaries, therefore, based on Russian literary language communication of any level can be built;
  • the approval of the rules of communication in Russian words in the political environment, in the economy and other areas greatly facilitates people's control over the activities of government officials, and also facilitates the passage of power to the indigenous peoples of Russia;
  • communication in Russian words makes it difficult for foreign interference in Russian politics;
  • many foreign words from managers, scientists and others through journalists, the education system, the Internet, television, etc., pass into the common speech of the whole society. It changes the system life values people, brings up disrespect for the Russian language and culture of Russia. As the “tops” say, so many other people also strive to speak, therefore, it is precisely at the highest state level that communication should be conducted in Russian;
  • language determines the system of values ​​and thinking. Thinking on the basis of the Russian language is more creative, in contrast to thinking on the basis of international concepts implanted in our country.

Watch out for office workers!

Some officials, in order to avoid answering questions that are inconvenient for them, often begin to tell the people a lot of unknown, as well as excessively abstract, confusing words and expressions. At the same time, there may be no meaning in the speaker’s speeches, but due to incomprehensibility, it will seem to many listeners that they have a “highly qualified specialist” in front of them, whom they cannot understand because of their lack of education and “misunderstanding of terminology”. A striking manifestation of the language of lies (the language of destruction) is office work. The apt word "clerk" was created by K. Chukovsky - it sounds like the name of the disease that affects our speech.

“So what is he, a clerk? He has very accurate signs, common to both translated and domestic literature.

This is the displacement of the verb, that is, movement, action, by participle, gerund, noun (especially verbal!), which means stagnation, immobility. And of all verbal forms, a predilection for the infinitive.

This is a heap of nouns in indirect cases, most often long chains of nouns in the same case - the genitive, so that it is no longer possible to understand what refers to what and what is being discussed.

This is an abundance of foreign words where they can be completely replaced by Russian words.

This is the displacement of active revolutions by passive ones, almost always heavier, cumbersome.

This is a heavy, confused structure of a phrase, unintelligibility. uncountable subordinate clauses, doubly ponderous and unnatural in colloquial speech.

This is dullness, monotony, obliteration, stamp. Wretched, meager vocabulary: both the author and the characters speak the same dry, bureaucratic language. Always, without any reason or need, they prefer a long word to a short one, an official or bookish one to a colloquial one, a complex one to a simple one, a stamp to a living image.

Such a speech was ridiculed by Ilf and Petrov:

“The task is, for example, the following:

- Sweep the streets.

Instead of immediately fulfilling this order, a strong guy raises a frantic fuss around him. He throws out the slogan:

It's time to start the fight to sweep the streets.

The fight is on, but the streets are not being swept. The following slogan takes things even further:

“Let's get involved in the campaign to organize the struggle to sweep the streets.

Time passes, a strong guy does not sleep, and new commandments are posted on the unswept streets:

“Everything to carry out the plan to organize a sweeping campaign.

And, finally, at the last stage, the original task completely disappears, and only passionate, shrill babble remains.

– Shame on the disruptors of the campaign for the struggle to carry out the plan for organizing the campaign of the struggle.

All clear. The job is not done. However, the appearance of desperate activity is preserved. And a strong guy leaves for Yalta to repair his loosened body.

This example is an exaggeration, but you and I are constantly given the appearance of violent and well-intentioned activity with the help of "international", "business" and "weighty" words.

Dry, confusing speech often helps dishonest officials, economists, bankers to deceive the people, trade the Motherland, while maintaining the appearance of constructive actions. For example, the most destructive laws in Russia, as a rule, have quite plausible names, in particular, the law, according to which in 2018 for the majority of Russian citizens the retirement was postponed by 5 years, has an ordinary, camouflage name: “ the federal law"On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts Russian Federation on the appointment and payment of pensions "- millions of people will starve and beg because of this, but the title is only about" changes in certain legislative acts. Another example: the law of 2014 on the transfer of some Russian lands to foreign states for a pittance for a long time is called “On Territories of Advanced Socio-Economic Development in the Russian Federation”. Konstantin Paustovsky, in one of his articles, analyzes the influence of such a language and concludes: “... only our most cruel enemy could call this language Russian.” The chancery was built and is being built by means of a special system of sentences, and also largely on the basis of foreign words. Even Peter I, who zealously planted the European in Russia, was forced to restrain the introduction of foreign words and other manifestations of bureaucracy, demanded that his subjects write "as intelligibly as possible." He said to one of his ambassadors: “In your communications, you use many Polish and other foreign words and terms beyond which it is impossible to understand the case itself: for your sake, from now on, write your communications to us in Russian, without using foreign words and terms " .

Scientists also talk at the office. Applying in scientific work various “terms” and a confused structure of sentences can be approved by professors, to create the appearance of scientificity in its absence, but even if there is a useful innovation in scientific work, most compatriots will not recognize it. Instead of scientific luminaries, thus, "scientific darks" are often obtained. With the help of dry, semi-official speech with streamlined formulations, it is easy to engage in eyewash, but it will not work to turn to people, to kindle hearts for good deeds.

It is possible and necessary to speak simple and precise Russian words, create documents written in simple Russian, especially since the meaning of Russian words is enshrined in many dictionaries. In some cases, generalizing expressions of a clerk may be needed for bureaucratic and scientific speech, but even in business papers they should be used minimally, since clericalism in large numbers leads to various speech errors and distortions, makes the text difficult to understand, facilitate deception. Subsequently, through journalists, films, through school textbooks, etc., such stupefying dead speech becomes common. Unfortunately, now it is stationery everywhere: it is served to us through television screens, newspapers, radio, with the use of dry, dead speech they create works of art and school textbooks. Often now you can hear how people, communicating in everyday life with their relatives and friends, instead of using the word “say” - “inform”, instead of just “do” - “take action”, instead of “opportunities” they say “functional”, instead of responding to something they react, instead of condemning they express criticism, instead of observing they monitor, instead of giving advice they give recommendations and advise, etc. Many foreign words introduced into the Russian language are a manifestation of a bureaucrat , as they give speech a detached, official sound, often make speech less understandable.

Previously, foreign words were used mainly among scientists, officials, among representatives of certain specialties in solving their work tasks, but the languages ​​​​of small groups do not live in isolation, so now Russians are being replaced by these foreign words in all types of communication. As a result of foreign innovations, the Russian language, with rare exceptions, is not enriched, but, on the contrary, becomes poorer. Bright, figurative, lively words can now not often be heard or read, for example, the words “caustically, caustically, caustically”, even the word “mockery” is now rare - they are being replaced by the same word “irony”. The abundance of foreign substitutions in the language makes it difficult for people to understand what is happening with them and around them, for example, when a person is asked: “What is the matter with you?” he replies, "I'm depressed." The word “depression” is abstract, it sounds like the name of a disease and makes a person think that it is necessary to be treated for this “disease”, drugs are also produced for this case - antidepressants, as a result, sometimes the person himself cannot figure out what is happening to him, neither his interlocutor can help him. But if a person said instead of “depression” the expression “I am depressed ...”, or “what depresses me ...”, or the word “longing”, then this would be an occasion to think about who or what he yearns for, why he depressed, come to the cause of a difficult condition and eliminate it.

For many generations of our ancestors, Russian writers created a rich literary Russian language not for us to use dry, inexpressive, streamlined words. AT explanatory dictionary the living Great Russian language of Vladimir Dahl is about 200 thousand words, instead of this wealth, we are offered to switch to a set of several thousand words and expressions, many of which are dry and abstract. To cleanse your thoughts and speech from the clerk, we advise you to read the book by Nora Gal "The Word of the Living and the Dead", as well as the chapter "The clerk" from Korney Chukovsky's book "Alive as Life" and, of course, classical works Russian writers.

In order to build a society in a creative way, it is necessary to make information as accessible and understandable as possible for the people, this is especially important for the political and economic areas. If the speech of politicians, economists, bankers is filled with a lot of abstract, incomprehensible words, if a confused system of sentences of a clerk is used, then this creates opportunities for fraud, deception of the people, this deprives the majority of citizens of the opportunity to control the work of government bodies and influence it.

What to do?

We need in all areas public life affirm and preserve a simple, expressive, living creative language instead of a deceitful and dead destructive language. To do this, you need to use mainly Russian words in your speech, remove manifestations of office work from speech. The concepts of the language of lies (the language of destruction) can also be created on the basis of the Russian language, but most often destructive concepts are introduced into our speech from foreign languages, therefore, often, in order to be expressed in a truthful, creative language, it is only necessary to translate destructive concepts into Russian. If there is no suitable Russian word, then you need to create it, but if this fails, then a foreign word can be used to build a creative concept, and it is important that it carries the correct emotional, correct moral assessment of the phenomenon it denotes.

“A word can kill, a word can save,
In a word, you can lead the shelves behind you!
V.S. Shefner

Language is the basis of human thinking. People think in words, in words they designate and generalize the phenomena of reality in their minds, give them assessments. Thus, the language is a computing system: if the language of truth is used, which accurately reflects the essence of phenomena, then humanity, on the basis of this language, will come to true, constructive conclusions and actions; if the language of lies is used, in which evil is exhibited as useful, and good is humiliated, then people will be led to erroneous conclusions and destructive actions.

For example, political correctness is now being imposed in the world. Political correctness is based on the ideal of using such words and expressions that, allegedly, will not offend any small or large associations by race, income level, sexual perversion and other signs. With this approach, the truth is made unnecessary, truthful words are forbidden to be spoken by the requirements of maintaining political correctness. In response to this, we, the creators, need to use the division of speech into the language of truth (the language of creation) and the language of lies (the language of destruction) - this good way to uphold the truth and creative ideas. The division of speech into the language of truth (the language of creation) and the language of lies (the language of destruction) is based on the ideal of truth, no matter how difficult and offensive for someone it would be. Honest people agree with the truth. Truth is a value for most. Therefore, if your interlocutor, for example, during a public discussion of something, says the word of the language of lies (the language of destruction), you need to point out to him that he used the word of the language of lies, explain why this word is false and destructive, then call on the interlocutor and others to use the appropriate word of the language of truth (the language of creation). By acting in this way, the creators will no longer have to make excuses for their lack of political correctness - other people will have to make excuses for using the language of lies and destruction.

Each of us needs to monitor our speech and the speech of others, we need to think about what images this or that word will form in the minds of people. It is impossible to build a creative society using the words of the language of lies (the language of destruction). It will not be possible to convey the truth to people with such words - it will be initially distorted, and therefore they will not understand it. For example, one cannot effectively assert Sobriety by calling alcohol a drink; it will not be possible to defend Russia, calling himself a quilted jacket; it will not be possible to defend family values ​​by calling yourself a homophobe, and homophobes as gays, etc. It is almost impossible to add your own meaning to the imposed destructive words: people will understand them in the same way as they used to before.

Often people use destructive concepts not on purpose, but due to the fact that in the environment information space destructive language is stubbornly propagated, many people simply do not know how to speak correctly. Therefore, we must express our wishes for the use of the language of truth in a polite form wherever possible: in the guest book in any institution, under an article or video on the Internet, in personal communication, at mass events, etc. Translation of destructive information impacts into a simple, truthful, creative language almost always deprives them of their destructive power, so every creator needs to improve in discrimination, expose the manifestations of the language of destruction and spread the language of truth - the language of creation.

Table with examples of distinguishing between the language of truth (the language of creation) and the language of lies (the language of destruction)


Russia has only two allies: its army and navy
The words of the Russian Emperor Alexander III the Peacemaker (1845-1894), in which he expressed his foreign policy creed.
As he writes in his "Book of Memoirs" (1991) Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich (1866-1933), who was the uncle of the last Russian Tsar Nicholas II, this phrase was often heard when Alexander III gathered his entourage: “In the whole world we have only two faithful allies,” he liked to say to his ministers, “our army and fleet. All the rest, at the first opportunity, will take up arms against us.”
“The bitter experience of the 19th century,” Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich writes in the same place, “taught the Tsar that every time Russia took part in the struggle of any European coalitions, she later had only to regret it bitterly. Alexander I saved Europe from Napoleon I, and the result was the creation of mighty Germany and Austria-Hungary on the western borders of the Russian Empire. His grandfather Nicholas I sent the Russian army to Hungary to suppress the revolution of 1848 and restore the Habsburgs to the Hungarian throne, and in gratitude for this service, Emperor Franz Joseph demanded political compensation for his non-intervention during Crimean War. Emperor Alexander 11 remained neutral in 1870, thus keeping his word given to Emperor Wilhelm I, and eight years later on Berlin Congress Bismarck deprived Russia of the fruits of her victories over the Turks.
The French, the British, the Germans, the Austrians - all, to varying degrees, made Russia an instrument to achieve their selfish goals. Alexander III did not have friendly feelings towards Europe. Always ready to accept a challenge, Alexander III, however, at every opportunity made it clear that he was only interested in what concerned the well-being of 130 million of the population of Russia.

"Russia has two allies: the army and the navy" - Alexander the Third

Our world is changing rapidly. Countries make alliances and quarrel almost every day, year after year. Economic instability, wars and conflicts: all this also affects our state, which determines the choice of this topic, because, when every man for himself, it is important to look for loyal allies who are ready to help.

ALLY, -. one who is in union, in close unity with someone else .. Faithful, reliable p. 2. A state that has entered into a military alliance with whom n. Allied armies.

Betrayal is a violation of loyalty to someone or failure to fulfill a duty to someone. Betrayal is universally condemned by most religions as a sin or a violation of a taboo and condemned by the moral laws of society.

In my opinion, the Russian emperor wanted to put the idea that other countries could easily betray or even oppose Russia.

Therefore, the national military forces are the real defenders. One cannot but agree with him, since in the history of our fatherland we have often been left alone against the whole world.

The most important thing is the realization that a person is a vicious creature, and will always act in his own interests. If the object of other people's interests understands this, then he will follow the same principle. But what will come of it.

One of the proofs of the emperor's judgment is the so-called "world zero" war, where Russian empire remained alone against half of the countries of Europe. An alliance was made with the Austrians and Prussians. Did they come to the rescue? No. A united coalition poured into the Crimea. Were there any allies? No, just ourselves and our armed forces.

One thing is good: after this conflict, our command realized the "European betrayal" and revised the future policy of the empire.

But, as you know, history repeats itself. The first World War. Yes, we were in the Entente, but had no land borders with it. The war could have ended more quickly if the Franks or the British had not been on the run to the sea, but if they had helped us on eastern front and did not sponsor the red revolution. Thus, in all situations, Russia can only rely on itself. It is good that Alexander 3 saw this and gave us the right order.

As a result, all of the above allows us to draw the following conclusion: in the struggle for their own well-being, a person can rely only on his own means and resources. Any alliance is a die roll. If you are lucky, you will be happy, and if not, then great sorrow.
