FOREST The main human qualities we must educate in our children ourselves, and not give them to the teachers, schools and other foreign people. As an example, you can use the author under the name Svetozar, who creates wonderful stories for his children ... Grandfather and Alex were sitting by the steam. In the morning, they left the house, but reached the place when the sun was already high. Although the early autumn was already in place, the sun did not seem to reflect on it. The thick grove wrapped around them like a veil from the heat. The forest was very joyous of the unexpected guests. Maybe because before entering it, the grandfather broke off a piece of bread that he took with him, and, as he kneeled down on one knee, wished all forest inhabitants and the forest master health and prosperity, and asked not to be angry with the uninvited guests. He put some pieces under the trees, and fixed some onto the branches. They settled down by the stream. The stream was shallow. The width no more than a few steps, but quite fast. It was evident that it gets very full in the spring, when meltwater descends from the mountains, and it turns into a real mountain river. It cut the mountain ridge into two parts and was a natural watershed. In the taiga, this occurs everywhere, but here, the rock, as if growing out of the earth, created bizarre differences in altitude, and from this formed

beautiful rapids and a whole ridge of small waterfalls, through which, sparkling, in the rays of the autumn sun, water rolled down. Just near one such waterfall, next to the large stones covered with moss, Alex and Grandfather settled down. Grandfather lit a fire from the branches that he had gathered in the thicket, near the place where they had stopped. Alex noticed that his grandfather collected branches for the fire, as if he was putting things in order in the forest. As if, he was not there as some outsider, but as a fullfledged-master of this place. Maybe that's why he wanted to create a cosiness at home. In addition, Alex did not remember a single case, when his grandfather left behind some sort of garbage or some kind of mess. Once he told his grandfather about this. To this, grandfather, as usual smiled and said that it is so. "In any place, Alex, you must first clean up, bring things to order. From this, any place will become homey. It is inviting and homey from the outside, as well as inside. Or maybe vice versa, who knows. You think that you're cleaning up the forest, but in reality you are cleaning and bringing order to your heart." Grandfather's eyes narrowed gaily, looking at the boy. "Well, yes, now you will be doing this. Now you know how to do it. And when you begin to work with your own hands, you will explain a lot to yourself, and will discover many new things, of which you never even thought." 1

SLAVA RODU

I would like to take a minute and thank you for opening this magazine. I understand perfectly well that the amount of information that is out there and is available through different mediums is huge, and that it only grows with each and every year. It means a lot to me, since for some reason you chose to pick up my magazine, and read the Slava Rodu magazine, over the countless other publications out there. Thank you. It has been two years since I began this project, and I do not think of stopping any time soon. With each month, the number of individuals out there, who are searching for the truth, only continues to grow. Individuals, Families and communities are no longer accepting what they are being fed through mass media channels as the unquestionable truth, instead, such people are beginning to ask all of the right questions. I see this every day, not only through the different channels of social media that I have access to, but also everywhere I go on the street, in schools, in shopping centers, at the post office ... and the list just goes on and on. People are beginning to awaken, and it is truly a great sight to behold. And if you are holding this magazine in your hands, or if you are reading a digital version of it, you can believe that you are one of those, who are beginning to awaken. So what does it really mean: "to awaken"? It means that your mind is no longer on autopilot. It means that your mind and your consciousness are beginning to actually work, instead of merely existing. It means that you are beginning to question everything around you, and that you are not so easy to control any more. And it's a good thing. I began the Slava Rodu magazine with the purpose of awakening your mind. I do not expect you to accept everything you read about in this magazine as "The Truth" ... it would be ridiculous! No! I simply want you to get the gear moving and begin asking all of the right questions, in order to begin discovering certain truths for yourself. Remember, and I cannot say this often enough: those, who are usually lying to you, will say "Believe me when I tell you ... "; yet, those, who are usually speaking the truth always say "Do not believe anything I tell you, instead, find everything out for yourself ... "

Long or short, but now the branches in the fire crackled. The fire did not really want to flare up. Then the grandfather sat down and blew into it. The fire immediately responded and brightened up. From the outside it looked like the grandfather breathed life into the fire. As if an unknown spirit filled the fire with Force. Grandfather, as if whispered something, and the wind, which appeared from nowhere, caught his breath. Probably, watching from the side, no one even payed attention to it. But the boy saw, the grandfather spoke with the fire and with the wind, in the language, only known to him. But, the most important thing was that they answered him. They understood each other. It was so obvious that he had no doubt about it. "And why are we igniting a fire?" Alex asked. "So this place would let us in." mysteriously, grandfather answered. "And what does this mean, "let us in"?" the boy asked, puzzled. "Well, look, fire and light inside of the person. Remember?" "I remember, of course." nodded the boy. "But this fire is not in the World of Yav' per say. We are transferring its likeness to the visible World. The light inside, the light outside. A fire helps the Soul to open. So the place is enlightened. With the inner fire and the outer fire. One supports and aligns the other. The easiest way. There are others, of course. But for me, the simpler, the better. Difficulties are not from a great mind, people say. Now, in truth, only Deities know what people understand by the enlightened place. But our Ancestors understood that the foundation is the light, which comes from the Soul."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"It appears as an internal fire, that in the Soul and the fire seem to merge?" thought the boy. "This is what I'm saying," the old man smiled "Now, our assistant is the campfire. If you stayed in the woods at night, what will you do?" "Ignite a fire" "Why?" "Well, I do not know, some protection. It drives away the darkness. Gives heat. Shines. Warms the heart." "You speak the truth. The heart is warmed first. The man does this, probably, also so his inner fire would not go out. Cheering himself up. It is like creating a copy of self and an assistant. As to not lose the power of the Soul. Let's look around, Alex. What do you see?" It's unclear why, but with his grandfather, he really began to see life in everything. Either the grandfather immersed him in some unknown world, or everything came alive from his grandfather. But only the movement of

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAA

life seemed to fill the space around him. Everything seemed to blossom, stretched towards him and filled with light. The forest seemed alive. The trees were humans. Each tree is the same as the neighboring one, but all are different. Their crones reached to the sun, but at the same time they were spread out above, they seemed to protect young, fragile trees and other forest inhabitants from misery. With their desire to reach for the sun, they, as if by the way, without hesitation, created a whole world below, which was home to animals, birds and other plants. "When I look at the forest, it always seems to me that it's alive." Alex said. "It is so. Have you ever doubted it?" the grandfather winked at him slyly. "Let's take a closer look. Does a tree look like a person?"

"Well, it's also alive." Alex answered. "But can it walk?" the old man smiled. "I have never met a tree such as this." the boy scratched his head. "In truth, I, too." said the grandfather and laughed gaily. "But let's take a look at this. A man, like a tree, is nourished by his native land. From this the earth is the nurse for us and for the tree. As Mother our Ancestors revered her. "Mother Raw Earth" they said. She is also our support. Without support, there is no strength in a man. There is nothing to rely on in life, people say of such men. And the tree. There is no native land - no roots. For a man, his roots are Kin. Native people. Mother, Father, Grandfather, Grandmother, Brothers, Sisters. Previously, many generations of relatives were remembered, not so now. Maybe from that, too, the people weaker than before. The kin is a support as the roots of a tree. That's why they say about a man, who has no native land, that he does not stand on his legs and does not remember his roots. And if so, where will he take the Earth's power from? If we cut the trunk from the roots, will such a tree stand for long?" "It will not stand at all, and no one will help it stand." "Exactly! Let's look further. Here is the forest. This is not one tree?" "Yes, they cannot even be counted! And all are so different." "Different. Right. In the forest, not one tree grows, of course. There are a lot of them. They even create their own climate. Comfort for life. Culture, you can even say. In one word, the same society as people. But I still like the word People. The forest can be of different kind, just as people. There are groves of birch, oak, maple and

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

ash trees. And they all get along with each other. But the mandarins do not grow in the spruce taiga for some reason. There are cultivated plants, there are weeds, there are wild plants. But here is a thing, often the same trees do not grow in different conditions, and on different land. Some only grow well on their land only. The forest even has own borders, in a word, like humans. There are places, where trees support each other, and places where they cannot get along, some they take the lives of others. In the woods, there can be gloomy places. And the person feels bad in them." "Just like in our village." Alex frowned. "And on the other hand. The forest lives on its native land and in such a climate not by accident. And imagine, one tree decided to leave its forest and move to another side of the world, into another forest. You and I know, that a free can only move from the forest without roots. And without roots, it is no

longer a tree, but lumber or firewood. So without roots, will it survive?" "No, of course." the boy was sincerely surprised. "And if you take and move it with the roots?" the grandfather narrowed his eyes. "Then, it's possible." "But will that tree survive, not on its own land? It will constantly miss something. Whether hot, whether damp, or cold, and then look and the new forest will be different, and the desire to live will be lost. It's the same with people. Well, okay, I live on my land with close people next to me, and in my culture. A culture native to a person is like native land underfoot. A person's strength is increased threefold from it." "You, most importantly look at Nature, Alex. Always look. Laws that people write change, teachings change, people's views, their customs, and what exists in Nature, it's already thousands of years old. And Nature is a clue to righteousness. She is Wise. Through her, the World of Law in our World is reflected." "What is this World of Prav?" asked Alex. "The World in which everything is right." the grandfather just answered and began to search to a kettle for Ivan-tea.

MODESTY The following is a story of a young teacher, who faced a rare for today's traditional and correct education, inculcating girls with modesty and diligence. A strict but fair father is perceived by a sick society as a tyrant and a despot.

a house nearby, so he sent her back." He said: "Go and tell your mother to dress you. You cannot walk around naked. Can you imagine? Anya was in a T-shirt and shorts. Is a nine-year-old child, in the summer heat, cannot walk like this?"

In the 4th grade, Masha is a girl from a large family. She is the eldest of four children, there is a brother and two sisters. The girl does not participate in any of the extracurricular activities. For example, when the primary classes went by bus to an excursion to the forest park, Masha did not go with us. I asked her friends why Masha is not here, and the girls began to vocal chatter that Masha has a very strict father, that he does not allow her anywhere.

"Masha's father is a despot," Vika's mother sighed. "I'm sorry for the girl. If he is now such a tyrant, then what will happen when Masha becomes a maiden? Will he put a burqa on her?"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"My mother asked Masha to be sent to me for her birthday, but her father did not allow it." said Anya. "And she was not allowed to see me on my birthday!" Vika picked up. "My mother says that they treat Masha as Cinderella. She does homework, but she's not allowed to go out." I was surprised and decided to find out what is happening in Masha's family. I was just given this class, their teacher had taken a maternal leave, and I did not know all the parents yet. I did not want to go straight to Masha's home with a check, and I decided first to ask the mothers of Anya and Vika. "Strict? Well, he's just a tyrant!" said Anya's mother. "My daughter came to visit Masha, we live on the same street, we have

I decided to observe Masha. The girl is of pleasant appearance, tall, slender, charming face with a slight blush (in a big city you do not often see a ruddy child!). Excellent, engaged in a collective of folk dance and in a drawing group at the school. This already contradicts the words, as if she is overloaded with homework, like Cinderella. And dressed like all girls in the school uniform: a plaid skirt in a fold, a blouse and a vest or jacket. Stop-Stop, but Masha's skirt is with a secret! The folds are built up below the hips. Such a skirt will not accidentally get caught, and if the wind comes, it will not rise above the head. Way to go father! I was surprised and could not help smiling. Another week of observations, during which I noticed a constant hairdo: the braid is braided classically, as in my mother's childhood, and the absence of hairpins and baubles, loved by other girls, and even always a low voice, as if Masha tried to observe silence, and not only in class, but also in-between classes, when other children yelled, squealed and howled like animals.

I wanted to meet Masha's mother. Then another even arrived just in time, which Masha, of course, was not allowed to attend. It was an exhibition of crafts "The Golden Autumn" for students of 3rd and 4th grades, after which they arranged a dance. Dressed up children danced, drank juice from cartons and had fun. The teachers and several people from the parent committee observed the children. "What's so dangerous for Masha?" I thought "They are depriving the girl of simple joys. Look at how her girlfriends are dancing out. Maybe, really, her father is a domestic tyrant?" On Monday I wrote a request in Masha's journal, for her mother to come to school.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAA

Who do you think came to school? Of course, Masha's dad, a "tyrant" and a "despot". A man was far beyond forty. Teaches in a technical university, associate professor. He was handsome, bald, military, his eyes gray, his gaze fixed. I involuntarily pulled on my blouse and straightened up. He explained that his wife, the mother of four young children, does not have the opportunity to come to school. What happened? He looked quite adequate, and I decided not to beat around the bush, and asked him head on, why doesn't Masha participate in extra-curricular activities, why is she not allowed at the birthdays of her girlfriends. He sarcastically smiled and declared that he was categorically against school dances, excursions to the forest park and "going for visits at girlfriends' homes". Nowadays, these are situations that are potentially dangerous for a child. His daughter attends two clubs, this is enough for a harmonious development. Yes, Masha is forbidden to visit other girls. After all, he cannot be sure that there she will be safe. However,

he does not mind that the girls come to their house and play with Masha under the supervision of his wife. And on Masha's birthday, they always invite her girlfriends. "Why then did you literally expel Anya Efremova? You did not like that she was wearing shorts? All girls wear shorts in the summer." "Listen," he again smiled unpleasantly, "I'm against letting the girl out of the house in such short pants that half of the buttocks stick out out of them. And a shirt with such holes, that through them the stomach is visible. And I did not kick Anya out, as her mother says, but brought her by the hand to the gate of her house. Do you think that as an educator that I did wrong?" I was silent, thinking what to say to him. In principle, I was in solidarity with him. Modern moms sometimes do so bare their little daughters, that others are frightened for them. "Masha also has shorts, if this is so important to you." he continued mockingly "But it's shorts, not swimming bottoms. And in the summer she wears sleeveless shirt, in which you can raise your arms without showing your navel." "And the folds on the school skirt are also your doing?" I could not resist. "Not me, of course, her mom." "But was it you, who told her mom?" He laughed, this time good-naturedly. "My wife and I have the same views on the upbringing of our daughters."

Slava Rodu

"And what does Masha do about the house? What are her duties? Do you know that girls call her Cinderella?" "Masha cleans the room, where she lives with her sisters, and washes the dishes after dinner. Well, and help her mother, when she asks. Waters flowers in the yard. In my opinion, not enough for a Cinderella."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"I agree. But do you not think that excessive strictness, prohibitions on attending a school dance can give the opposite result in adolescence?" "Why should Masha get used to these dances? Do you know that in high school, it is a place where teenagers sell drugs? She already dances three times a week in a circle of folk dance. It is much more useful for the girl - the correct posture, grace is formed. And at dances, they are all tossed in one place, like demoniacs. Music thunders, ears are deafened. What is the benefit for children?" "But... " "Listen, I want to bring up in the daughters two main qualities that every woman needs: modesty and hard work. And if the school does not help me in this, then at least do not interfere." On this the conversation dried up. He left, once again pleasing me with his height and posture, and left mixed feeling in my Soul. On the one hand, I wanted Masha to have fun at school matinees and dances, to go with the class to excursions. But, on the other hand, Masha's father is in many ways right. What a pity that he does not even try to find the middle ground! But after talking with him, I had a topic for talking with the mothers of the girls.

I'll invite them to a women's meeting-party! A good way to also get acquainted. A week before the meeting, I gave the students a leaflet with two questions for their mothers: 1. What is "girlish modesty" in your understanding? 2. Do you want your daughter to be humble? And here is the meeting. Mothers of the fourth graders gave me the filled out leaflets and took their places at the desks. Probably, I was given a bacillus of Puritanism from Masha's father, because I looked disapprovingly at two mothers, who literally dumped their charms on their desks. Why such a dĂŠcolletĂŠ in the blouse? Honestly, in this foreshortening, the halfnaked woman's chest becomes like an a**. Then I noticed in many fighting colors - too bright flashy make-up, ridiculous huge hairpins in the hair, shiny clothes (do they really go to work like this?). My eyes rested on three-four women dressed simply and with taste, with normal hairdresser. I tried to guess where Masha's mother was. There were other mothers sitting at the other girls' desks, I knew them. Probably, this pale woman without makeup. She is about forty. The face is tired - still, four children! But I guessed wrong. Masha's mother was young, no more than 30 years old, in blue worn jeans and a black jumper, light brown hair gathered in a long tail. One of those, on whom my critical review rested. Way to go Masha's dad! He chose such a beauty! And four children - it's probably his guarantee to keep a young wife at home. So, is he a despot...? I began to lead the meeting. At first, I

Slava Rodu

reminded moms that their daughters are at such an age, when they turn into big girls. It is necessary to carefully monitor their appearance and behavior. For example, some girls in the class grew out of their skirts and look immodest. And when the satchel rises up a without that a short skirt, even the seams on the pantyhose are visible. Still it would be desirable, that the girls behaved more modestly in a class and the worthy behavior set an example for boys, instead of provoking them to be rude.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAA

In my address, I stressed that we are not talking about internal modesty (not sticking out one's self, not attributing oneself to the merits of others, being able to step back in the background if necessary, show tact, do not make corrections to adults, do not argue with them). It's about purely external signs. Of course, even rudeness can hide behind a modest shell. And all cannot be modest and quiet. Yes, it is not necessary. Charming type - girl-demon, etc. The main thing is that the behavior does not go beyond the bounds of decency. Without naming the names, I noted the bad behavior of some girls in the class (being called, using crude expressions, pushing). Along the way I mentioned that in every girl it is necessary to develop femininity (posture, gait). A good method for this is gymnastics, dancing. Then, I read out the answers of my mothers aloud (without naming the names), some we discussed (there was a lot of shouting and arguing). Many mothers formally approached and answered in two words. But several people explained their opinion in detail, which made me very happy. I will quote excerpts from the most interesting answers. Mother of Alyona

As a child, I was a very modest girl. My mother worked as a teacher in our school, and she was very afraid that her colleagues would not reproach her for the poor upbringing of her daughter. Therefore, I had to watch the teacher diligently in class during lessons, to walk on the string at school events, recite poems about nature at school events, while other girls sang merry songs or skipped on stage in short skirts. How I envied them, in my mother's opinion, "teases"! When I became an adult, for a long time I hesitated to express my opinion, to participate in a general conversation. Therefore, I bring up my daughter in a different way. She also sings, and dances, is never bashful, and to the beauty contests I take her since she was 6 years old. I do not want her to grow up nerdy-modest. Let her be bright, let her laugh loud, let her raise her legs in the dance. In my understanding, modesty is not a submissively lowered head and eternal silence. Therefore, let my daughter look more immodest, than a suppressed one, as I did in my childhood. And I'll tell her about the girlish pride and honor in a couple of years. Mother of Yulya Girlish modesty is a trick to which stupid men fall. The girl is all so quiet, modest, and will marry and will swing to the right and the left. Still waters run deep. I do not like shy girls, I do not believe them. I do not scold my daughter for loud laughter or lip gloss. Mother of Alexandra I do not like the behavior of the three girls in the class (everyone knows who they are). They are very noisy, ill-bred, immodest. Often I watch them when we walk out of the school: they shout to the whole street, loudly

Slava Rodu

laugh (we can say - they laugh like horses). I try to take Alexandra by the hand and take her away so that we don't even have to walk near this bunch. My daughter is modest (she knows how to behave in public). Mother of Karina Karina is still young, behaves like a child. I do not consider her immodest, therefore, we have no problem with this. But to my older daughter (she is 16), I explain that in our time, to stand out and be liked, the girl should be modest. Indiscreet have become boring. I'll tell you about one observation. Last summer we vacationed on the sea in Europe. On the beach, most girls and women were sunbathing topless. Only some men looked at their charms - and more often with a grin, and not with lust (have got used to!). All of a sudden, I noticed that all the men from the company next to us are looking attentively in one direction. I followed the direction and saw a girl, who was trying to lift the wet top off the leotard and put on her shirt, without showing her breasts. With one hand she held a towel by her breast, the second tightened her bra, then took the vest and pulled it with one hand. The men, who stared at her so, kindled their eyes! On the beach, a modest woman attracted more male attention than all half-naked girls! This scene made an indelible impression on me. Mother of Vika For example, our dad cannot stand quite. He likes brisk women. And even the saying is: "The girl is adorned with modesty, if there are no other advantages." And in general, in our time, it's silly to be modest you just will not be noticed. Mother of Kristina

Dear teacher! Do not try to make from an ordinary school an institution of noble maidens. Let's learn, and we will take care of the behavior of our daughter. Mother of Anya For me, the main thing is for my daughter to trust me. If I constantly pound her, so she behaves quietly and modestly, my child will turn into a wooden doll. Who needs it? I do not want to bother, while she's still a baby. I think the issue of girlish modesty will only become relevant in a couple of years. Mother of Stacy I want my daughter to be cunning, and I teach her this. A cunning girl is always on her mind, she is safer than the open one. Behaving modestly is also a cunning. Therefore, I often tell Stacy to be more modest, to not start fights (only my daughter does not always listen, she is the fighting type!). Mother of Sonya I used to demand from my daughter that she behave modestly - she did not fight, she did not call others names. Only here, other girls in the class are so impudent, that modest ones can be crushed. So now I'm teaching her to defend herself, to snarl and say taunts. Even if it is immodest. Mother of Masha We try to educate Masha, so that her behavior does not lead to trouble for her. The girlish modesty in my understanding is, first of all, good upbringing. I really want my three girls to be shy. This is a great joy and pride for parents.

Slava Rodu

The results of the meeting: Once again, stipulating that the theme of the meeting is only the behavior of girls, and not their inner world, my mothers and I, together, formulated several external signs of the schoolgirl's immodest behavior. In our common opinion, a modest girl should not:

Masha. And I would like to sincerely thank parents for the upbringing of their daughter. Despite the fact that the issue of Masha's participation in the extracurricular activities remained open to me. Translated by: Dmitriy Kushnir

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAA

1. Open mouth wide and cackle when laughing - is vulgar; 2. Spread knees apart like boys when sitting; 3. Wear clothes that flaunt the child's body or in which the little girl looks sexy; 4. Be untidy; 5. Talk too loud and impolite, use foul language, fight; 6. Be rude to elders, or argue with them; 7. Scandalize or gossip about other children. In general, mothers were satisfied: according to the majority, this was a useful meeting. And I remembered the old saying: "The modesty of the daughter is the wealth of the father" and mentally thanked Masha's strict dad. I liked his daughter more than others. Among many, frankly speaking, not according to their age disheveled and cheeky fourth-graders, she looked like a charming young lady of Pushkin's time. Carefully braided braid, clear eyes, good posture, correct soft speech, freshness, neatness. The natural low-key beauty of the girl was in harmony with her upbringing and politeness. The charm of modesty - that's what I wanted to say about

A Year Without Trousers A year ago I threw out my last trousers. And I devoted this events to today's article. It is not quite ordinary. I just want to share with you my discoveries this year. I decided to switch to skirts about two years ago. During pregnancy, I attempted to wear only tunics and dresses. And gradually, I just stopped buying jeans and trousers. But after giving birth, there was a small problem - those jeans that I already had before the pregnancy, won over the rest of the clothes. It's much simpler to put on jeans and a sweater, sports shoes and a jacket. And that's all. Especially with a small child. And with two young children ... especially, when you're too lazy to even think about your appearance. But a miracle happened! And the jeans were torn. Then the choice arose in front of me: buy new jeans ... or go the way that I had already chosen ... In general, instead of jeans, I bought two dresses. Then two more ... and yet ... I want to share with you what this year has given me. Me, my family, my children.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

1. In a skirt, it is much easier to refute from men's affairs. To carry heavy packages from the store in a long dress is at least inconvenient. And also ugly. And there is no need. Most likely, someone will come to the rescue. 2. Putting on a skirt and shoes, I immediately notice how my posture and gait change. It would seem that not such a big change on the outside, and such a huge shift on the inside. Just other clothes, but the sensations are very, very different. 3. Children are wildly delighted with long skirts. The elder plays hide and seek in them. The little one always plays "house". 4. After putting on a dress, you just want to bring your hair in order and your make up. It requires you to start taking care of yourself. It take more time and effort to spend, before you leave the house, but it's worth it. 5. My husband really likes me in dresses. And if

before it was necessary to ask for a new sweater for a long time, now he constantly asks: "Maybe you should buy another dress? Or maybe you need new beads?" 6. We became much less quarrelsome. And quarrels began to pass easier and faster. It became easier for me to cry during a quarrel, instead of shouting, as before. Reconciliation also happens much faster than before. 7. I generally became less irritated, angry, whining, swearing and experiencing other unpleasant feelings. As if the situation for their residence has become less.

Slava Rodu

8. Small miracles began to happen around me. For example, I found my dad's lineage, and I hope to get to know them soon and visit his grave. And I've been looking for them for more than 5 years. 9. My husband gifts me flowers and gifts more often. Over the past year, he gave me everything that I dreamed of all these 7 years. Maybe because I learned to ask, inspire and thank? 10. It became easier for me to ask. Ask for help, ask for gifts, ask for money, ask for attention. Simply, girlish, cute, with a smile ... 11. During this year, the husband at least doubled his income and earnings. At the same time, he refused all those projects that pulled energy from him. And he began to develop those, that he wanted to develop for a long time. And this gives him even more strength and joy. 12. Together with dresses, accessories came to me. Now I understand that women in many ways are made by these little things - earrings, beads, scarves ... And only these things can constantly change a woman's image. 13. I began to be offered a sit on public transportation. Not because I am pregnant, or with a child. But because I look like a woman. And what is surprising, such sits are offered by men. 14. It is warmer in a skirt in winter, because I wear high boots and a long down jacket. And it turns out to be much warmer than jeans, a jacket and boots. 15. My hormones have changed as well. The hair on legs grows much less, for example. Menstrual cycles are less painful. The condition of the skin and hair is almost perfect. 16. This time I have no problems with breastfeeding. No matter what kind of lactation and other nonsense I experienced with my eldest son, I could not breastfeed him for a long time! And this time, there is not a single stagnation, no problems. 17. I became friends with needlework. There used to be a belief that my hands are not growing from the right place. And now, I'm weaving mandalas, sewing and embroidering a little - all with the same hands that I could not even apply earlier. 18. It is easier for me to deal with women's affairs. I put on a dress: to the stove, in the kitchen, to cleaning. This process is easier and is done with great pleasure.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AA

19. It has become much easier to develop women's qualities. It's easier to be affectionate and kind, when you're wearing a light sundress. And it's almost impossible to be obedient and soft in rough jeans. 20. I stopped being submerged in jobs. If earlier I did a lot in terms of work - I helped my husband here and there, doing this and that for him, and was completely exhausted, now I am only doing what is mine. And more that I like. Even thoughts do not arise to pile up a heap of work and drag it out for everyone. 21. I see how I am admired on the streets. By men, and women, and even grandmothers. Especially when I go, no, I'm "swimming" in a long sundress with two children ... 22. There are too few women in skirts and dresses on the streets. That's why I really stand out. Considering that I do not wear mini skirts, but chic long skirts that so nicely rustle and drape during walking. 23. I do not even have a single thought to buy trousers. In the shops, I go right through these departments, without even noticing what is there. 24. I really have more energy and strength. Even though there are now two children. I have more time, much more. At the same time, the energy in me is accumulated by the Moon. Completely different than before. 25. I begin to feel the fluidity of female energy - its softness and smoothness. And it's much easier to trust life and to swim according to its flow. 26. I began to treat Divine differently. To all rituals, rules, knowledge. I wanted to go deeper, learn more about Divine and strengthen my Love for It. This sounds strange, but now I feel much more connection with It than a year ago. Perhaps, it's not for nothing that in many beliefs women are forbidden to wear trousers? 27. I made many new friends - although this was really a problem for me before. It became easier to approach women, it became easier for me to communicate with them. And besides - I began to receive pleasure from it. 28. I realized what it means to fell like a Woman. I saw the positive side of the Woman's nature - and most importantly - I could feel the difference. 29. It was this year that I began writing articles. Maintain arrangements. Groups for women. I finally

Slava Rodu

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

managed to find myself, find my balance between family and self-realization, self-development and charity. This is an incomparable sensation. 30. And I, finally, can say that I'm really happy. Inside me there is a light, there is this feeling of eternal happiness inherent in every soul. And even if the events in the outside world are not joyful, my light stays with me. Almost always. In all women's groups, the first exercise, which I always give is wearing skirts. I want to look out the window one day and not see any women in trousers. This is such a simply dream. I would want to write as many more points, because this year has changed a lot in my life. Maybe it's just an astrological period. Or something else is there. But it coincided that exactly one year ago I buried my last trousers. And I see this simple relationship. It became easier for me to follow my nature, it's easier to be a Woman, to behave

like a Woman, to be Feminine. And most of all, I am happy that around me more and more women are risking and throwing out their trousers. They switch to dresses ... and get similar results. Long live dresses and skirts, accessories and hairstyles, Moon energy! All feminine to women. All masculine, including pants and responsibility, let's give it to men.

We can change the world. In a feminine way. Just doing our own thing. Remaining Women. And I wish all the same to change this world. In a feminine way. Written by: Olga Valyaeva Translated by: Dmitriy Kushnir

Slava Rodu

To Adults About Children Part 1 The article of our reader concerns the theme of the upbringing of children, which can be said of the majority. How distorted is this process today? In what ways can you resist the transformation of children into animals? How to help a child become a real individual?

What NOT to do with children The First NOT You can NOT "embody" your dreams in a child; making him the means of achieving own goals. Very often, adults try to direct the aspirations of the child to what they dreamed of themselves, and what they could not do in their own lives. It must always be remembered that a small person has his own program of life, destiny, which he must fulfill, and the results he must achieve. The replacement of this program by adults for their own is violence against the child and is fraught with a new karma for the parents. The task of parents is to help the child find his program and develop the ability to implement it.

Slava Rodu

The Second NOT The trouble of our time is a computer. Parents are so early, sometimes from the age of 3, trying to attach children to the computer, often justifying it with phrases like "when he will go to school, other children there will know how to use computers, my child will feel incomplete" or "now is the time" and ... they slip the child the next "developing" as they believe (although more often degrading) game.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

In fact, of course, parents (especially often, single mothers) in this case most often pursue the goal - that the child "did not interfere" with "doing business". So "comfortable" when the child does not bother for 2-3 hours, selflessly playing, so it's convenient to leave him with your computer and a grandparent, and to go to work, to see a friend or somewhere else. The computer, of course, is not to blame for the fact that it is used by "busy" parents, but note that with unintelligent and excessive use, the computer has more disadvantages than advantages. They are known - from problems with the physical health of the child to psychological dependence and nervous breakdowns. The child, from often sitting at the computer, simply experiences the "break down" of communication skills with peers and in general with other people, develops isolation, isolation from real life, and very often in addition

Slava Rodu

permissiveness, impulsiveness, aggression. Many teen suicides are also provoked by computer use and "antisocial" networks. We strongly recommend that parents do not teach (or even not introduce) their children to a computer until the age of 6-7 years old. If the situation calls for it: children's movies and cartoons - yes, photos yes, games - no. And believe me! - in the absence of a computer, children are much more developed and adapted to life. It is confirmed, including on own life experience and the experience of many other families.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA A

I admit that many will argue with me again and again - "but games are developing", and I will say that other noncomputer games are developing, and much better. And more: the road to hell is paved with good intentions. To learn to create, create something, communicate, love are all necessary in the real and not in a virtual world. By the way, one does not have to go far for the examples of computer addiction and emerging neuroses - there are many of them on that same internet. On the other hand, I am very familiar with a boy of 5-6 years, who threw a tantrum to his grandmother and mother, and threw a child's chair at me, when the computer was taken away and turned off. Fortunately, that situation was corrected on time, disaccustomed, gradually, from the computer and limited pastime with it. When we meet with our grandchildren, we now play other games checkers, dominoes, children's lotto, chess, etc. Yes, yes, at the same time, children learn such skills as counting,

Slava Rodu

thinking, and remembering. The Third NOT Protect children from box-office and blockbuster Western films and cartoons (not all, of course), especially action films, films with robots, zombies and other evil spirits. Children (and our grandchildren) often play robots, they are will aware of zombies, vampires, monsters, spider-men, mice "fighting" for good ... Where does this crap come from? Honestly, how can one not remember the eternal opposition of two ideologies - Light and Darkness. The sophisticated creativity and devil's ingenuity of the strategists of the left, the destructive wing is "impressive".

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Their representatives from among the "creative intelligentsia" learned to act less rudely and rectilinearly than before, and approach the programming of children from afar, using the methods of information-psychological warfare ... And there are cartoons such as "Monsters, Inc." or movies like "Twilight" or "Transformers", etc., where different monsters, vampires, werewolves, etc. are presented as beautiful, loving, innocent, kind and cheerful creatures, and the "good" robots (unlike the evil ones from, for example, "The Matrix") are friends with children and help the world, but at the same time they shoot and kill. It turns out to be interesting -

Slava Rodu

traditionally evil characters do good (as they can), but really good Light films are very few. Small children basically remember through images, and an image can be very well drawn, that in order to do good and defeat the villain, you have to misbehave, hurt (films like "Home Alone"), be cunning, hit, shoot and kill, etc. etc. The circle or, rather, the human square has closed - conquering evil through violence, evil is again taking place. The destructive principles (as opposed to the constructive commandments of the Divine) triumph with all the ensuing consequences in the form of modern childhood and adult problems in our society. By the way, for some reason in many Western cartoons (did you ever notice?), there is a lot of fuss and chaotic movements, the characters often speak with unnatural voices and shout incessantly loudly ... Then our children also shout. In general, before showing a child any cartoon or film, an adult needs to be sure about what it is, what the ideology of this cartoon/film is, what principles it lays, what purpose it pursues - without these criteria, no cartoons, movies, books, nor art does not happen at all! Hear, if you are not blind and not deaf - it does not happen!

Slava Rodu

Have you ever paid attention, as to what words our children say? What do you think, where did such words come from?.. Children remember images and live examples.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Another problem of television is advertising. Many children (and some adults) watch it, as bewitched. Then they speak so, because their brains are hard coded with such advertisement. Some parents turn on television for their children as often as a computer (so children will not distract them), and they (children) watch everything. We recommend that you expose everything that your children (from 3 to 9 years) watch on television to their parents' censorship in good faith, as it is not for nothing that more often than not television has recently been called a "brainwashing box" or "zombie-box". Therefore, we recommend that parents, once again, be responsible for the upbringing of their children and the formation of their consciousness and the principles of their personality. It is necessary to literally and informally understand the popular saying: "Children are our future!". Not only our future, but also of our nation. We, for example, at our summer home, when we are visited by grandchildren, noticed that during breakfast or dinner, if the television is turned on, the children eat "glued to the screen", and their thoughts are far away from the table. Therefore, the first restriction was - turning off the television during all meals, the second - turning off the

Slava Rodu

television as background noise, which is present throughout the day. And how are things in your home? The Fourth NOT If you want to raise children who love you and other people, DO NOT! completely depend on kindergarten, nor on school, completely entrusting your child's education to these institutions. You need to give your child time and attention in person: to teach him, play with him (including role-playing and thinking-logical games), sculpt, draw, build, discuss the events that happened in his life, which movies he watched, which fairy tales he read. Let it be only 1 or 2 hours a day, but with 100% attention to him, no matter what distractions. At the same time, one should not be cold with a child, this is the common misfortune of many parents: their coldness, stiffness, estrangement. This provokes according to the Law of cause-effect the coldness, stiffness, estrangement in the child's behavior. We all need to learn to love with our heart, to delve into, to listen, to caress and to thank! More often it is necessary to say: "I love you", then your child will say to you: "I love you". Honestly, it is so beautiful and touching, when a 5-year-old child, ends a phone conversation, and tells you: "I love you mom ../ dad ../ grandfather ... ".

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA A

But there is another extreme: to allow all and to indulge your child, to indulge to his whims. Very soon, the

Slava Rodu

evolved small ego is hanging on your neck, and in the future will create to both, you and him, big problems. The best example about the balance of love was told by Antoine de Saint-Exupery in the "Little Prince", this is a story about one star that loved very much:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"... When I was still quite young, I loved my world so much! So loved! I wanted to hug him and hold him tightly! I had many planets in my world, but I loved one of them especially ... I shone for it, I warmed it, and from my love on the planet flowers blossomed, forests grew green and birds sang ... And one day, I so wanted to hug her, I wanted to give her all my love, all my warmth!.. I smiled at my beloved planet with the warmest smile I was capable of! And ... The planet suddenly turned into a desert. I ran away in despair from it! I said to myself: "Since my love burns, it is better for me not to love at all!" But looking at the planet, I saw that it became covered with a crust of ice ... And then I realized that you need to love in such a way, that the one you love was warm ... And then there will not be deserts of selfishness ... And if you really love, you must give your love not in the way you want to give, but as it will be better for the one you love!" The Fifth NOT You canNOT scold your child because of your bad mood or your temper, or if you do not understand the reasons

Slava Rodu

for the act or misbehavior of the little man. You cannot scream not only at the child, but also create quarrels with your wife/husband/mother/father and other relatives before the eyes of the child, which, unfortunately, happens in everyday life. The Universal Law of Learning, which was picked up by modern psychology, says: children (and people in particular) remember and do not what they are told, but what the speakers themselves do, that is, what the children see. Hence, the best is learning (or teaching) by example. So we should think about the example we are presenting with you, as parents, in some everyday situations. Recently, I observed one of these examples on a bus: a young mother began to exit the bus at the bus stop, and hurried her son, a boy of about five or six years, although, frankly speaking, there was no need to hurry. The child began to climb over the seat anchorages, stumbled and fell. Instead of helping, to give a hand or at least verbal support, but the mother literally yelled at him, shouting that he is so clumsy and "again playing".

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA A

This is what happens in practice with many children. Often, ignorant parents, themselves, place their hand in the future problems of their children, and many educators do not have any "rudimentary understanding of education". Very sad. The Sixth NOT You canNOT stuff a child with chemical pills at the slightest cold, except in extreme cases, and even then, only according to the doctor's prescription. It should be remembered at the same time that all doctors are different. You need to choose those professionals, who use gentle treatment, combining pharmacy (allopathy) with

Slava Rodu

homeopathy, herbs, vitamins. We went through all of this with our grandson, when one young mother did not want to listen, and instead of strengthening immunity with natural remedies and appropriate physical procedures, she relied on antibiotics and other medicines as a miracle, and used them for the first symptoms of cough and temperature. The result was a dysbacteriosis and subsequent long-term treatment.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

You cannot give a child tap water (especially if you live in a city or large town) and feed him various "poisons" that are sold in stores, like delicacies and other "goodies". There is no way to enumerate all the pseudoinventions of mankind in the food sphere, the purpose of which is to create addiction and then a disease. These are different colas and lemonades (think about it - 8 teaspoons of sugar for a glass in these drinks, would you put so much into your tea?), and chips, and crackers, and some yogurts, and chewing gum, and lots of sweets (especially the harmful "Snickers" and "Mars", etc.), and fast food, etc., etc. It is necessary for parents to raise their literacy in the field of nutrition and try to give the child more vegetables, fruits, cereals, dairy products. It is necessary for us to learn to read the ingredients on the packages of products (what the manufacturer places in them) and to know about vitamins and micro elements necessary for the body. The main principle in nutrition is: less artificial - more natural, produced by Nature or based on natural raw materials or ingredients. And of course, you cannot always keep a child in the city, sit with him within 4 walls, especially in summer. You must necessarily visit Nature

Slava Rodu

with him on regular basis, so that he breathes and walks in the fresh air, fueled by clean energy. In the summer, it is necessary to send him to the village or to a summer country camp. In Nature, in fresh and clean air, clean water and ecologically clean food, children gain strength for the entire year.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA A

The Seventh NOT Often, parents raise the question: should a child be punished? Again, I will refer, in particular, to a story from Antoine de Saint-Exupery. The whole question fits in one word - why? For what purpose? What purpose do you pursue, when punishing the child? With the purpose of education - yes, but more often, not with the goal of acting on your emotions, your evil or even habit? Children are different, respectively, and the methods of education should be different. The best education is by own example, affection and soulful conversations, as with other adults. Explain more thoroughly, define, talk, ask and listen, rather than force and demand. But there are times, when you need to show hardness and punish. You can deprive of something pleasant, delicious. You can sit a child on a chair (not in a corner) and suggest to think. You can refuse a request of some kind. On some hyperactive school children, you can raise your voice and demonstrate rigor in intonation, in exceptional cases of deliberate and repetitive naughtiness is possible even to slap slightly on the buttocks (I'm familiar with a boy, who repeatedly repeats his mischief, in order to provoke a reaction of an adult, and on request to stop, does

Slava Rodu

not react, but becomes even more mischievous). It is important to remember that if you even slap a child on the buttocks, then you still have to talk, explain, convince him on what is good, and what is bad, otherwise there is no meaning from such slapping except as evil. Personally, for example, I tell the grandson in response to his whim or rudeness that I am very upset and will not play with him, although I love him very much, and that he knows about it, but it is wrong to offend the grandfather or grandmother, etc. in such a way. The grandson, sometimes, throws an even bigger tantrum (well, of course, tries to insist), but I firmly hold my position and keep silent or repeat the "I love you". After a while (usually 3-5 minutes), he rushes to my neck to embrace. BUT IN ANY CASE, DO NOT HIT OR BELITTLE (INSULT) A CHILD! The Eighth NOT You canNOT take care of a child too much, controlling each step, you can "not let" him make mistakes and lose. You must teach the child not only to win, but also to lose, otherwise nervous breakdowns in adulthood are guaranteed.

Slava Rodu

The Ninth NOT You canNOT always say "No". Parents should learn to say "Yes!". In 99 of 100 cases, when "no" is usually said, this does not have a serious basis, but only a demonstration of power. Sometimes it is difficult for you to accept the vision of children, because you, yourself, have lost it! For example, a child tries to climb a branchy tree - what will you do? ... Say again "no"? And if he bends and breaks the branch? Finally, most importantly - IT IS NECESSARY, FROM YOUNG AGE, TO INSTILL IN THE CHILD MORAL, ETHICAL AND SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES. In other words, what is good and what is bad. Otherwise, those principles will be laid in by the street, by the kindergarten, by the school - the way they can be. Unfortunately, most often, YOU, the parents, will reap the fruits of this.

BORSCH

The exact origin of the borsch is unknown. Most likely, it appeared on the territory that previously occupied Kievan Rus. Mentions of the main first course of Ukrainian cuisine can be found in the Novgorod Yamsk books for the years 1586-1631, persistently recommends it and "Domostroy".

In honor of borsch was named a small town Borshchev, located in the Ternopil region. Every autumn it becomes the center of the folklore festival "Borsch-iv". According to an old legend, in ancient times the Turks conquered this town and wanted to taste the local delicacy - borsch. One Ukrainian woman agreed to prepare the dinner for the invaders, but the dish did not have something to the liking of (perhaps the use of un-halal pork) the leader, who began to scold the woman with abuse. He shouted until the Ukrainian woman became angry and hit him on the head with a ladle, and then drowned the offender in borsch. Therefore, the town was named after the dish that caused the death of the unkempt enemy.

Lessons of Life with Gramps Voron (Raven)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA A AAAAAA

Recently, I discovered a book full of wisdom of Life. it was originally written by the elder Andriy Voron. Andriy Voron lived a full life and died at the age of 104. Even though he was an elder, and did die at 104 years of age, he did not die of a natural death. After his death, it was discovered that gramps Voron left quite a legacy. He wrote down the wisdom that he learned throughout his life in order to pass it on to all who are willing to listen. In this segment, I present you witht he wisdom of Gramps Voron. Everyone is tied to the land, where he came into the world. Needed where was born. The stalk grows better, where the seed fell. So is man. Heaven was pleased that in this place, and at this time, from one seed of the father you were born. Therefore, you are not an orphan and not a nothing in this world, but you are elected. Do not forget, that the large tree of kin grows in you. The spine of your Spirit. Penetrate with your inner sight to its roots and as the life giving juices ascend higher and higher ... Remember the dead, and the fallen relatives and friends, ask for them the blissful peace and forgiveness of the sins that they committed in this world. And they will help you from there. It is good, if you can see the world, travel. And if you cannot travel, then you will not lose anything. All the worlds can be seen within oneself, all the knowledge can be discovered within oneself. The devotee in the dark cave learns the wisdom of the world. Look inside yourself - like a well. With attentive calm and pure thoughts. And quench your Soul's thirst. It is good, if there is an open space where you live. And the eye does not cling to the fences, the barns, etc. There should be trees, bushes or live fences. Such a fence can breathe, without locking you in. Such dwellings were chosen by our Ancestors. If this is not so, more often go to

Slava Rodu

Nature. So the eyes and the Soul can rest. About such people as me, they say "the world man". Many lands I walked, the five oceans I visited, in cold and warm regions I lived, but i did not see any nicer land than Transcarpathia. No wonder it is called Silver. Silver is the metal of purity, health and wisdom. Therefore, I settled here in old age. Here my treasure is a garden, a wine cellar, a well, a workshop and a cabinet with books. And here my heart is. Communicate with the young - and you will be young yourself. Do not judge them, but understand. Do not lecture, but teach, when you know what is needed. After all, often young people are smarter, more honest, and kinder than we are. Only their Soul is weaker, it must be strengthened. If it was my will, I would only let the young go to the office. With them, the life of the old would be easier. Such are the simple advices and words of wisdom of gramps Voron. As with everything, use your own better judgement and look for more advices and words of wisdom from gramps Voron in the next issue of Slava Rodu.

Have You Been Brainwashed? We are caught through fears and laziness, through disabled logic and activated emotions. "You have been brainwashed" - this phrase recently can be heard almost at every corner. And everyone believed that only their opponents are brainwashed. But during the so-called "infowars", the "battle" is done on all fronts. We tried to identify the main types of people, who are particularly prone to brainwashing, and the main "hooks" that are caught by these gullible fish. The consultant on improving the efficiency of the staff of the "Master of Web Business", Roman Makarenko says: "In the past, it was necessary for an individual to live in a "pack", accepting its rules, otherwise he would simply perish. The fact that this law is valid today, is proven by a well-known study. In the room there are 6 people: one subject and five "decoys". On the table in front of them are 6 chips: 5 black and 1 white. Everyone is asked the question: "What color are the chips?". The subordinated "flock" claims that all of the chips are black, and in 55% of cases, the subjects agree with the majority. Of course, the subjects have doubt inside, but none the less. It turns out that half of us are ready to repeat what their environments says, and this is of serious help to the organizers of the "infowars"."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The Obedient Disturbing events hit first of all on emotions. Plunging into them, we automatically fall into the childhood injuries. Remember the parental covenant: "Listen to the Elders"? Adults do not forget it, but only transfer responsibility for their own lives from their parents to the leaders of their native enterprise, city or country. The chief says: "You are ill, cold, hungry, you need to be saved," we believe, since childhood we remember that "dad is always right". There is simply no other scenario, an individual does not know how to survive, if no one tells him how. So obedient children of strict parents, despite their age, are also very amenable to brainwashing. As a Hero People always aspire to be heroes and want to be on the side of the strong. So with the emergence of the winner, most people automatically take his side, regardless of the moral character of the hero. Heroes are not judged. The logic is simple: to be with a hero means to be a hero yourself. This triumphal procession has only one "but": the defeated, when he comes to his senses, will adopt the model of the victor's behavior. And everything will begin anew: propaganda, bleeding ideas and interests, conflicts. This pattern of behavior is many thousands of years old. And imitators are the third category that can easily be propagated. Traces of Propaganda In the days of information wars, it is necessary to learn to distinguish truth from fiction and to know the

Slava Rodu

secret "hooks" onto which the experts in psycho-technologies catch us. The founder and director of the training center "Speaker", Natalia Loziychuk, explains: "People are primarily led to two things: fears and stereotypes (thinking and behavior). Therefore, to make it easier to influence an individual, it is necessary to turn off his logic and turn on emotions: scare, offend, praise, promise gifts - different methods can be used." To Give in to Fear To begin with, an individual is told a terrible story about how "a herd of X people mocked a small group of Y people". After this passage, the subsequent information is no longer substantiated and not confirmed by facts: the image turned on emotions and the individuals was "hooked" on "horror".

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAA

To Protect the Small It is important to pay attention to the verbal tactic, which is often used: those who are disliked are usually called the "herd", and their actions are "mockery", while "their own" are described and shown as a "small group". Here, a certain stereotype is "sewn", actively formed in all of us since childhood: it is not good to attack those, who are smaller in number, and so, they need to be protected. It is a moral norm for our society to help the weak and those, who are in the minority in combat. Who violates this law, commits an ignoble act and even a crime. And if it's a crime, then for it should be unswervingly (again a stereotype) to follow the punishment. Conclusion, to which an individual is led to: "people X should be punished". Generalization Another manipulative trick is super-generalization. In this case, criminals are called not only the guilty ones of specific actions, but also their sympathizers and the not opposing. The Lazy Secret "Whoever owns the information - owns the world", especially if this "whoever" owns information about the world, about the people and about the main characteristics of the people. One of these characteristics is laziness. This is another "trick", which is used by propagandists. They know that testing, questioning and analyzing information is hard work, and to fulfill it, you need desire, patience, perseverance, and most importantly - developed critical thinking. Such a set of characteristics is not present in all, therefore, propagandists do a lot for audiences and viewers themselves. Here is a piece of candy, which is easy to swallow and impossible to spit out. None-Stop The main thing in propaganda is the consistency in maintaining the main, key messages. Moreover, they should be extremely clear and simple, aimed at certain target audiences and necessarily influencing their

Slava Rodu

motives (needs). A classic example in this sense is the Leninist message "The land to the peasants, the factories to the workers". Depart from the Info-Chaos

them.

There is a huge amount of information monsters in the modern world, we will learn not to succumb to

"In order to resist propaganda, we must first of all admit: "Yes, I can be a victim of the outside influence," says Natalia Loziychuk "This recognition is the first step to resist the outside influences." However, very many do not want to agree with this. "How?! I, so educated, well-read, constantly aware of all events and news, and can be some kind of victim? It's just impossible!" Such emotional reaction is quite explainable by our defense mechanisms: "I am good, and I cannot be bad (a victim)!" It is also important to look for answers to the following questions: What are the goals of the person (group of people) who tells me this news? Are they just informing me, or do they want to influence my opinion? In what do they want to convince me? How evident does all this sound? How is this reinforced? What means are used for this: words, video series, something else? What kind of reaction does the speaker expect from me, and is this really what I want?" Important Rules In addition, in order to get the truth out of the multitude of news and messages, it is necessary to know several more rules that Roman Makarenko proposes: Check the information, and the one you do not want to check, do not turn on your emotions. Always ask the question: "Do I need this information?" and do not hurry with the answer. Look for a different look at the problem, because uniqueness of judgments is the first sign that you are brainwashed. Upon hearing of any gossip, ask yourself: "Is there any other opinion on this matter?" Search for "your" way out. 70% of people made decisions, choosing from standard options, without even thinking what else can be done in this situation. For example: "If war begins, I will go to war and will become a hero, or I will hide in the basement and will survive, but I will become a traitor." About the fact that an individual can not go to war and not be a traitor at the same time, an individual does not think, but there is such an option (aid from behind the lines, for example). Argue with yourself. Our brain is designed in such a way, that it aims for us to seek confirmation, and not a refutation of an already formed opinion. For example, a candidate for a parliament or presidency says: "I'll sit in a chair, I'll raise everyone's salary and pension." People, of course, want to believe in it, and they do not even think what price they will have to pay for such a "gift".

The Relationship of Our Ancestors to Emigration and Marriage to Foreigners Our Ancestors believed that every people is the manifested qualities of a certain Deity. Thanks to this, once in the ancient times, the peoples consciously chose for themselves the heraldic symbols, which reflected the qualities of a specific Deity, which they most strongly singled out. It does not matter that the same Deity was later called by different names, the essence of this has not changed. And, accordingly, from this come the cultural folk traditions, the different cultural cuisines, the systems of the upbringing of children, the peculiarities of the national costume, and so on. National characteristics - it's nothing bad and nothing good, just different, as in the botanical garden. There are no unnecessary plants, they are all different. Everyone, no matter where was born, there such became useful. Merchants in Rus Firstly, the first contacts were made by merchants, who conducted enlightening activities and contributed to some cultural exchange. The merchant's task was through trade routes, through self-trading to find out on which principles of life and moral principles the given people are founded, and to see how possible the interaction is. And at the same time, through their goods, through jokes and tales, through the diplomacy that they used, to tell about the people from where they came. If such a cultural exchange was established, there were covenants of the good union, certainly, first at the governmental level. Among the Priests, among the knowing people, there was a study of folk culture and its traditions, customs, people. The people watched how it was possible to implement the treaty in general, and at what level. Therefore, in the first decades, and sometimes hundreds of years of contact with this

people, interethnic, interracial marriages were never created. In particular, this applied to those peoples, who were a part of another language group. Between all Slavic people, which belong to the Slavic group of languages, there certainly existed a kind of community. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAA

The Mixing of Kins Technically, there were no bans on mixing of different bloods (it was an implied LAW), although the possibility of marriage was strictly monitored not only by the people in charge, but also by such a class as matchmakers and midwives. Very often, one and the same woman performed both of these functions in the village. The point is that difficulties exist even within the framework of even one people, and what to say about peoples belonging to another linguistic community, life values, the main tasks strongly contradict, then, no good marriage or union will come of this. Firstly, two individuals will not be able to agree well with each other, but in general, as representatives of two different peoples, they both spoil the blood of their own people. This can lead to the degeneration of a particular branch of a nation. For example: genetically the first generation of mestizos are beautiful, sometimes intellectually gifted, but beginning with the second or third generation, and this is confirmed by genetics, mental disorders and madness manifest, and even maniacs are born. Very often the third generation of mestizos and mulattoes are born infertile. Nature itself cuts off the possibilities of such mixtures for further existence. This can arise not only in the confluence of Caucasoid and Negroid races, but within Europe there are peoples that cannot interbreed, or such breeding leads to rapid degeneration, because these are different peoples, different programs. I will not explain the mythology of this theory, the position of our Ancestors, in the modern world it is very well confirmed by genetics and sociology. These are two sciences that study these problems and give explanations why some dynasties, for example monarchs of Europe, have a century old history, meanwhile ceased to exist. Why did the rich people trace their genealogy? Well, because they closely monitored,

especially in Europe, less in Rus, from which houses, from which kins came the influx of new suitors and brides, in what generation is it possible to mix, in what it is not. In the Middle Ages, this was taken very seriously, so people were healthier, especially in Rus. In Europe, due to small borders and the fact that Laws of RITA began to be violated, not only intertribal, but also inter-family, clan marriages took root. It's no secret that half of the dynasties of European monarchs were married to their own sisters and brothers. Not to mention cousins. Therefore, the existence of such dynasties ended badly. In addition, some nationalities represent, in terms of destination, the opposite programs. Let us assume that one people is the embodiment of generosity and, therefore, it is characterized by a rejection of property values, accumulation, from a large amount of some material possessions. And next door neighboring nation, on the contrary, raises above all the quantity of material objects. They are opposite to each other, therefore, in the observed history between these two nations, monarchs are constant wars, seizures and cultural influences. But this struggle is unchangeable. And, naturally, if the representatives of these peoples mix at the level of matrimony, then this war will not disappear from their blood. Therefore, an individual born with such a program mix will find it difficult to agree, above all, with himself. He will be pulled by one blood, then by another blood, there will be unstable emotional outbursts, complexity in behavior: first into spirituality and austerity, then into all debauchery. It is desirable for every person, if one does not lead a pedigree to the 14th Ancestor, since much has been lost in the modern world (most of destroyed on purpose by those in power with the specific purpose to procreate the mixing between races), then at least try to ask your living Ancestors as to what kind of blood was implicated in your family, to study the history of these peoples, at least superficially, in order to understand yourself better. These roll-calls in one's own behavior can be easily explained in terms of those bloods that are present in us. The Migration in Rus Such is the reason, as to why our Ancestors basically did not leave the border of their own state in terms of life for the entire life, sorry for the tautology. They did not cross the border of the residence of the Slavic peoples, within the limits of the places of residence of the Slavic group of languages. Travels were made mainly on trade matters, according to one's own interests, Spiritual needs. People went to the Temple, on a pilgrimage. It was always so, no matter what period, and no matter under what religion on the territory of Rus. But people always returned to their land. There is also a second reason for this, it is very simple. The fact is that the Native Land and the strength of the Ancestral land, if we are to recall the myths about Svyatogor, about Ilya Muromets, about Kalika Perihozh, who defeated the great hero, the myth about Achilles, from the ancient Greek mythology, it is always said that the Native Land gives us strength. This is in fact so. The fact is that we, our Soul, are composed of elements of the energies of the Elements that are characteristic of a given area. Therefore, people living in the mountains are adapted bodily, mentally to live in that particular area, their body is biologically adapted to the food system, which is typical for that area. The people of the plains are completely different in bodily structure, in character. So, everyone, no matter where was born, there such became useful. It is very well explained by anthropology. Also I recommend to look into these works. We are different and this difference is remarkable.

A person, detached from his Native Land, loses connection with the place that energetically feeds his Soul. Therefore, those who leave for emigration, not only experience yearning their whole lives, they often cannot find their purpose, they are constantly rushing. It is very difficult for them to adjust, especially if one cannot find a place that is more-or-less similar in terms of plant and climatic features to the place where one was born. Because, in our blood the same biochemistry is contained, roughly speaking, as the one that is in the land on which we were born. This fine thread, the connection, exists our entire life. And our Ancestors believed that leaving the place, where at least three generations of own Ancestors lived, is not just a betrayal of a small homeland, but it is also an escape from oneself, this is the rupture of the umbilical cord, which nourishes us. It is a voluntary choice of the coming difficulties in own life. Sometimes, yes, people manage, being abroad, to be in a state of happiness, but this is a rare exception. Basically, these are people who have a good established connection with their Ancestral place. Why did the merchants, when leaving to go on the road, up to the 20th century, took a handful of their Native Land from under the threshold, or tried to take some kindred thing with them. Speaking of emigration, if we take a short history after the Jewish-Bolshevik Revolution of the 1917, after the two Great Wars, people always took something from their Native Land. They carried seeds, seedlings, Ancestral things, tried not to lose this relationship. Recently, I read a whole series of 6 books, written by different authors, but all of them were devoted to the topic of what people felt and how people lived after the Jewish-Bolshevik Revolution, after the War. About the strong people, who experienced katorga, who emigrated. All of them, and their descendants write that the family has always had a dream to return again to where they were expelled or where they were forced to leave from. This is because the child always remembers that it was good for him in the womb, he always tries to cuddle to the hem of his mother. For us, our small homeland is as our mother, like that hem, behind which it is safe, comfortable, where your are exactly 100% loved. Marriage to a Foreigner If we talk about marriage with a foreigner, I believe that for women, who take such a step without the blessing of their parents (which is impossible to obtain in many such cases), this is a kind of betrayal. On the other hand, it is a great feat, if you do it consciously and with the blessing of your kin. The feat is that this person has a different way of thinking, he is nurtured by completely different juices and roots, so understanding him, learning to interact with him is two times heavier than with a man from own Native Land. I had such a hobby in my youth, I collected all possible legends, historical records dedicated to

Princess Yaroslavna, the daughter of a monarch, who was married to a foreigner. Arriving in France, having married, she discovered that she, who knew even Arabic numeracy and mathematics, married a man, who put a cross instead of his signature, although he was a great monarch. She founded a magnificent library and, as history writes about her, she was loved by all of simple people. She was very educated for that time. For all her life she spent learning the world she got into, it was completely alien to her. But how much patience, work and respect for her own husband, given the cultural difference, she nurtured in herself. She gave birth to several children, became the founder of a whole dynasty of rulers in this country. I believe that this is a very great feat and effort. Therefore, even if time changes, this task does not go anywhere. Before those women, who choose to marry a foreigner, stands the same individual question. It will take a very big Spiritual sacrifice and be prepared for very large changes in order to establish relations, because we are very different. No worse, no better, just different. The Migration of Foreigners into Our Land Into our country, there has always been a migration of foreigners, this is known from history. Rus attracted many people because it was associated with power, support, thanks to its large territory, thanks to the fact that the Slavic group of languages is the largest group of languages, which means that it always had more people than in others. In addition, the Slavic Soul has a beautiful mimicry, in us, generally, there is aspiration to understand another people, another nation. But here, there is also a trap - to perceive the arrived people, migrants into our country as a fear for own lives. After all, they find themselves in a foreign country, so they become very collected, they want to survive at any cost. If we use this fear as an opportunity not to perform some kind of feats, it will lead to a very big mess, in principle, that we are now observing. After all, those who come from other countries, which are in much worse living conditions than in Rus, find themselves here clinging to any opportunity to earn. If Slavic men will perceive this, like: "Oh, wonderful! I have a freebie. I can not agree on more difficult conditions with a Slavic master who values himself." Take advantage of the cheap labor of migrants, because they are afraid of losing their jobs, they are afraid not to make money. They also have families, and due to this fear I will manipulate them like a gentleman. This will lead to the fact that migrants in our country will be more than the indigenous people. Because they cling to life, and often people who own their own land, relax, as cheap labor appears, they begin to play with them, lying on the sofa. But this is essentially a matter of laziness. Then we will cease to be masters of our own country. In general, as our Ancestors say: "In every situation there are pluses and minuses." On the one hand, appearing here, a foreign people bring us cultural exchange, bring us new values, new activities, new ways of thinking. On the other hand, they can quietly replace any Slavic individual, because they struggle more for their survival than an individual who lives in his place, and therefore accustomed, because he has everything. Do you know your kin? Does it have unions with different peoples, nations?
