Before, you turned to enemies. How in Rus' they called various parts of the body & nbsp

Where did the appeal "to you" come from among the Slavs

YOU is an ancient Aryan root meaning darkness, evil, destruction, or at least something negative, foreign, not good. Therefore, from ancient times in Rus', their relatives were addressed to "YOU", and to enemies, strangers or strangers to - "YOU". Hence this famous expression Prince Svyatoslav, addressed to the Enemies - "I'm going to you!". Hence the word: War - "YOU-Y-NA" (Invasion Dark Forces Navi or Na, get - Evil and Destruction). In English, War is "War" (VYR-VAR). Hence the word: Vyrvar (meaning - Barbarian-Destroyer).

DEGENTS - people torn out of their ancestral ties, who betrayed their True "Faith" and lost contact with "KI" ( ancient meaning primordial Mother Goddess, also related to matriarchy). In a literal translation from Old Russian, the word "YOU-ROD-KI" - Strangers, Dark in relation to the Family and Ki (Non-People, in their inner Essence, not belonging to the Spirit of the Kind of the Race). Such people are prone to all sorts of perversions, and the offspring of the Geeks are always born sickly and with certain defects, both bodily and mental, moreover, prone to degeneration and complete degradation. The further existence of a kind of such people is doomed. The very forces of nature predicted them - Degeneration. The Dark people on Earth do not have a stable continuation of the family tree, and therefore they cannot be attributed to the concept of Race, since this word implies a generational change, at least up to the fourteenth generation. At the same time, only children born from parents whose pedigree includes the seventh generation and above inherit best qualities Ancestors, completely freed from hereditary ailments.

Exclamation - Hurray, it means "by the sun", or "by the light"! Antonym URA - Alas, because YOU - plural and means darkness. And people say: alas for me, alas, when everything is bad and something fails .. Prince Svyatoslav proclaimed (and others repeated after him) - I'm going to you! No, it was not the Khazars who respected it so much, but went to war against darkness. Therefore, God must be called “You”, because he is Light and you cannot say “darkness” to him.

How to address: on you or on you?
It seems that by saying you, we express our respect for the person -
it is customary to address superiors and strangers to you.
But then why do we say to relatives - You? Do we really respect them less than those strangers?

Isn't it strange: we turn to God to you (... hallowed be Thy name; Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done ...), but to every petty boss - to you?
Really, the Creator of all Existing deserves less respect than any passer-by to whom we say - you?
To the saints we turn to you, and to the sinners - to you? Paradox…

Maybe it's not about respect ... But what? To understand this, let's go back in time.
Where and why did this - vykanya?
Indeed, in all ancient languages: other Greek, Latin, other Russian - the appeal was only to you, this is understandable: if there is one person, then you need to speak to him in the singular: you.

As far as I remember, for the first time one of the Roman emperors demanded to refer to himself as to many - to you. And if the emperor is called on you, - his courtiers think, - then why am I worse? let me - on you. And a wave of pride went from top to bottom:
each such “navel of the earth” began to think of himself as a “little emperor” and demand the same “honours” for himself: “I am not just me, there are many of me now, I am now We!” And this fashion has reached such a point in Europe that now in English in general, there is no longer a whole “you”, everyone has become multiple You.

From time immemorial, one person, even a prince or tsar in Rus', was addressed exclusively to “you”. The appeal to "you" to one person did not exist. So, in The Tale of Bygone Years, the squad turns to their prince: “Come, prince, with us to the Drevlyans for tribute: and you will get us too.” Oprichnik Vasily Gryaznoy wrote to Tsar Ivan the Terrible “If it weren’t for your sovereign mercy, and what kind of person would I be? You, sovereign, are like a god - you repair both small and great. ”

Vykanye came to us relatively recently, in the time of Peter the Great, as a kind of Western fashion, a new-fangled trend. Then Peter I introduced many Western customs into the Russian consciousness by order.
And vykanya was one of them.

Although it might not take root in us at all - it would remain some kind of foreign curiosity,
but in 1722, Peter I introduced the "Table of Ranks" in Russia, according to which all superiors (by rank) were to be addressed to you, and called them some kind of "your nobility."
And for violation of this rule, a fine in the amount of two months' salary was due,
moreover, he could be appointed both for poking to the superior, and for poking out to the inferior.
And given that a third of this money was due to the informer, then it was ... unsafe to violate it.

In this way, in Russia, forcibly, under the threat of a fine, Western vykanya was introduced.
To a simple person, of course, everyone poked: “he is a man, and we are here with a kind of European show-off, and we respect only those who play the same social game with us, and who win ... in it ... with us.”

And note (this is important): at first, the appeal to you was introduced to emphasize social inequality: you to the emperor on you, he to you - on you; to higher ranks - to you, they to you - to you ...
That is, vykanya expressed social status, position in the social structure, and not respect for a person.
Only then the consciousness adapts: position -> respect for the position -> respect, then they are intertwined ...
And now the natural desire of a person - to feel the respect of others, to hear respectful treatment - pushes him to take a position, to this “vertical race” ...

Of course, I'm not suggesting to be rude to you in communication just because
such treatment is both original and natural for a person,
not suffering from a split personality.
Surrounding after all can not understand and - be offended.

In society, for better or worse, a certain etiquette has already developed, social politeness, in which, by saying “you” to each other, we seem to emphasize our respect for the generally accepted Rules of the Game and a detached and respectful attitude towards each other.
This, as it were, protects us from rudeness, but also from ... direct contacts.

But after all, brought to the absolute (say, in Victorian England) This
you-communication, this system of social decency, turns the living life of people into some kind of ... chess game in which, like pieces on a board, they make the prescribed movements in their cells, bowing and smiling importantly. -Idyll ... or prison?

I wrote this only so that we remember when and why in Rus' they began to roll out, so that, understanding this, they could more intelligently decide for themselves: to whom and how we should contact.

An Atlanticist wave of an Anglo-Saxon culture alien to us is moving towards our blessed Fatherland. It has become fashionable to address you decisively to all ages. It would seem an innocent and even civilized sign of the last time: completely replace the pronoun you with you. But among Russians, you always meant trust, expressed a sense of brotherhood, the communal, veche spirit of the people. We even turn to God “to you”, which emphasizes the special intimacy and disposition towards unity. Russian you means recognition of respectable age, position, individuality, while the English universal you is a sign of individualism, hopeless disunity. The Anglo-Saxons have no innermost you at all. There is an archaic thou (tau), and then this is the Sanskrit Russian) you. Until the middle of the twentieth century in Russia, many completely unfamiliar people addressed each other as “brother(s)”, “sister(s)a”. Now you hear: “citizen”, “citizen”, “man”, “woman”. For the West, Russian you is a sign of barbarism and lack of culture. In confirmation of how sincere the Russian you is, which disappeared from the Anglo-Saxons, I would like to recall Pushkin's poem.

Empty "you" hearty "you"
She, speaking, replaced,
And all the happy dreams
Aroused in the soul of a lover.

Before her I stand thoughtfully;
There is no power to take your eyes off her;
And I say to her: how sweet you are!
And I think: how I love you!

Don't relax about Western "culture" and its unctuous you. Sirs, mayors and peers are not oriented towards brotherhood either among themselves, or, even more so, with the common people, from whom they are protected by a “golden curtain”. And between brothers you are not a sign of lack of culture, on the contrary, you are absurd.

There can be no other parties in Rus', except for the one that is at one with the Russian people

Incessantly, from early morning until late evening, crowds of people in St. Petersburg go and go in an endless file to the place marked martyrdom the Russian tsar, who fell from the treacherous hand directed by the sworn enemies of his people. On the site of blood, a chapel of greenery is usually arranged, constantly filled with flowers and wreaths brought; in the chapel is an icon of the Mother of God. Almost two weeks have passed since the event, and the flow of people is not interrupted, does not weaken. Thousands go and go, people of all classes and ages, mothers with babies. Words of prayer and sobs are heard in the crowd in front of the chapel. And at this very time, in the distance, the warriors of liberalism are casting lots about his clothes ... Will they feel, will these pseudo-liberals come to their senses, will there be enough honesty and civic courage in them to rise above both pride and walking deceit and curse what they call liberalism and what in Russian is called the sonorous word "treason" - betrayal of one's people, and then, willingly or not, to everything else ... In our educated society, the first sign of a person who is politically immature and mente capti (insane (lat. )) there is an idea of ​​liberalism and conservatism as two parties in Russia. On the other hand, the first sign of a mind that has shaken off deception from itself will be the renunciation of this false division, which has been imposed on us from outside and has befuddled us. It introduced the first confusion into our minds, from which, one after another, increasing in number and size, all our disastrous misunderstandings emerge. Since we are not accustomed to living by our own mind and are not accustomed to give ourselves an independent account of own affairs of our own, since we cannot do without looking around and equating ourselves with foreign models, it is not bad for our so-called liberals and conservatives to look back at a country where political parties come out frankly and are outlined with particular brightness. In a country deeply dissimilar in many ways to ours, but also great and looking to the future, in North America there is no mention of the liberal and conservative parties in the political sense. But there are two parties that are constantly and openly fighting among themselves. In the first - the whole centripetal force of the state, on which its unity is based and its integrity, patriotic spirit and national feeling are kept; This is the state party, which in America is called the Republican. The other is a centrifugal movement, a party of dissolution and disintegration, which, from stage to stage, leads people to treason and rebellion; it is called in America the Democratic Party. Everyone knows which of these two parties of the great transatlantic country has the spirit of life and freedom, and which, on the contrary, was the bulwark of slavery. The spirit of cosmopolitanism, the impure spirit of political immorality, dissolution and disintegration—this is what unites our liberals with the anti-national party in North America, and in which our so-called conservatives, who have forgotten their people and stand up only for abstract principles, will not yield to them. In Russia, the State Party is made up of the entire Russian people. Rotten liberalism and rotten conservatism appear only in our rotten cosmopolitan and superficial education. In a time of danger and great events, when powerfully rises in the hearts folk feeling, decay disappears, minds revive, and everything anti-state, everything anti-people, all political immorality and betrayal hides with trepidation in its holes. Everything truly great and fruitful is conceived in these moments of the awakening of the national spirit. And now, in view of the danger that threatens us with terrible turmoil, in view of the unparalleled atrocity that has taken place, in view of this abuse of our people, this betrayal, which has entered into an alliance with anarchy, will the Russian folk spirit not awaken in us in all its might? Isn't it time for all parties in Rus' to disappear, except for the one that is one with the Russian people? The article was first published in the Moskovskie Vedomosti newspaper, No. 72, 1881.

It seems that when we say you, we express our respect for a person - it is customary to address superiors and strangers to you.

Indeed, in all ancient languages: other Greek, Latin, other Russian - the appeal was only on YOU, this is understandable: if there is one person, then you need to speak to him in the singular: You. In Rus', people from time immemorial addressed each other to You.

Before the start of a military campaign, Prince Svyatoslav sent a messenger to the enemy with a brief message - "I'm going to you!" In the Old Russian language, the nominative and accusative cases coincided, so Svyatoslav said “I’m coming at you”, deliberately warning about his military plans, which at first glance contradicts common sense, but Svyatoslav had his own calculation.

Of course, in Rus', people from time immemorial have addressed each other as you. They even called on God - You. Ivan the Terrible was told You, and he was not offended, because this is a natural, normal appeal - to You, generally accepted then: to one person as to one and to address.

Vykanye came to us relatively recently, in the time of Peter the Great, as a kind of Western fashion, a newfangled trend. Then Peter I introduced many Western customs into the Russian consciousness by order. And Vykanya, was one of them.

Although it might not have taken root in us at all - it would have remained some kind of foreign curiosity, but in 1722. from R.H. Peter I introduced the “Table of Ranks” in Russia, according to which all superiors (by rank) were to be addressed to YOU, and called them some kind of “Your blessing-Highness”. And for violation of this rule, a fine was levied in the amount of a two-month salary, moreover, it could be assigned both for Poking to a higher one, and for Poking to a lower one.
And if you consider that a third of this money was due to the informer, then it was ... unsafe to violate it. In this way, in Russia, forcibly, under the threat of a fine, they introduced the Western Vykanye. For a simple person, of course, everyone poked: “he’s a man, and we’re here with a kind of European vypendron, and we respect only those who play the same social game with us, and who win ... in it ... with us” .

It would seem an innocent and even civilized sign of the last time: to completely replace the pronoun YOU with YOU.

Russian YOU means recognition of respectable age, position, individuality, while the English universal you is a sign of individualism, hopeless disunity. The Anglo-Saxons have no innermost YOU at all. There is the archaic thou (tau), and that is the Sanskrit (= Slavic) YOU. Until the middle of the 20th century in Russia, many completely unfamiliar people addressed each other as "brother(s)", "sister(s)a". Now you hear: "citizen", "citizen", "man", "woman". When Yakubovich in his "Land of Fools" refers to the child "on YOU", this sugary alien etiquette, no matter how strange it may seem, works to destroy Our Traditions, Our mentality (in which the West has succeeded a lot). For the West, Slavic you are a sign of barbarism and lack of culture.

In confirmation of how sincere the Slavic you, which disappeared from the Anglo-Saxons, is, I would like to recall Pushkin's poem.

Empty YOU hearty YOU
