Everyone already knows that the history of the swastika is much deeper and more multifaceted for some. Here are a few more unusual facts from the history of this symbol.

Few people know that among the symbols used by the Red Army, there was not only a star, but also a swastika. This is how the award badge of the commanders of the South-Eastern Front Kr. Army in 1918-1920

In November 1919, the commander of the South-Eastern Front of the Red Army, V. I. Shorin, issued order No. 213, which approved the distinctive sleeve insignia of the Kalmyk formations using a swastika. The swastika in the order is denoted by the word "lyungtn", that is, the Buddhist "Lungta", meaning - "whirlwind", "vital energy".

In Russia, the swastika first appeared in official symbols in 1917 - it was then, on April 24, that the Provisional Government issued a decree on the issuance of new banknotes in denominations of 250 and 1000 rubles.1 A feature of these banknotes was that they had an image of a swastika. Here is the description front side 1000-ruble banknote, given in paragraph No. 128 of the Senate resolution of June 6, 1917: “The main pattern of the grid consists of two large oval guilloche rosettes - right and left ... In the center of each of both large rosettes there is a geometric ornament formed by cross-intersecting wide stripes bent at a right angle, at one end to the right, and at the other - to the left ... The intermediate background between both large rosettes is filled with a guilloche pattern, and the center of this background is occupied by a geometric ornament of the same pattern as in both rosettes, but of a larger size. 2 Unlike the 1000 ruble banknote, the 250 ruble banknote had only one swastika - in the center behind the eagle.

From the banknotes of the Provisional Government, the swastika also migrated to the first Soviet banknotes. True, in this case this was due to industrial necessity, and not ideological considerations: the Bolsheviks, who were preoccupied with issuing their own money in 1918, simply took ready-made, created by order of the Provisional Government, clichés of new banknotes (5,000 and 10,000 rubles) that were being prepared for release in 1918. Kerensky and his comrades could not print these banknotes, due to certain circumstances, but the clichés were useful to the leadership of the RSFSR. Thus, swastikas were also present on Soviet banknotes in denominations of 5,000 and 10,000 rubles. These banknotes were in circulation until 1922.

The swastika in US military symbols was used in the First world war: it was applied to the fuselages of the aircraft of the famous American squadron "Lafayette".

The swastika was also depicted on the Boeing P-12, which was in service with the US Air Force from 1929 to 1941. The squadron's emblem was an Indian's head painted on the fuselage. In America, the swastika has long been perceived as a typical Indian symbol.

In addition, the swastika was depicted on the chevron of the 45th Infantry Division of the US Army, which she wore from 1923 to 1939.

Finland, in the context of our story, is interesting because today it is perhaps the only state in the EU whose official symbols include the swastika. It first appeared there in 1918, the year the Swedish Baron von Rosen presented the Finnish White Guard with a Morane-Saulnier Type D aircraft, which, in fact, laid the foundation for the existence of the Finnish Air Force. Therefore, it was she who became the symbol of the new military aviation. The swastika on the flag of the Finnish Air Force is present to this day.

AND HERE IS TODAY'S OFFICIAL PRESIDENTIAL STANDARD...

In Latvia, the swastika, which in the local tradition had the name "fiery cross", was the emblem of the air force from 1919 to 1940.

In the Polish army, the swastika was used in the emblem on the collars of the Podhalian Riflemen (21st and 22nd Mountain Rifle Divisions)

In general, this topic can be continued for a very, very long time, for example, remember the post in its continuation - Van with a swastika, well, here are 7 main facts about the Kremlin stars

Vedic symbols are inherited from the ancient Vedic civilization, the descendants of which are the Rus and other Slavic peoples. A large number of photographs with images of the swastika on clothes, household utensils, on the walls of ancient buildings, on weapons, on banknotes, etc.

Vedic symbols, in addition to the Slavs, were used by many other peoples. The swastika was applied to many objects as a sign good wishes and as a spell from all sorts of troubles.

The events of the Second World War and the speculative use of the swastika sign by the German "racists" who erected themselves, and only themselves, to the descendants of the ancient Aryans, led to the fact that the swastika sign was even banned for use both in everyday life and in print. But this, of course, could not lead to its exclusion in many forms of its application, rooted over a number of millennia.

Such symbols continue to be widely and universally used today by the Indians, Chinese, Finns, Japanese, Nepalese and Vietnamese. There are 144 swastika symbols in total. For those wishing to get to know this topic better, we recommend the book by the Vologda researcher Alexander Vladimirovich Tarunin “The Sacred Symbol. History of the swastika” (Moscow, published by “White Alvy”, 2009, 544 p.), which can be called an encyclopedia of the swastika. Information on swastika symbols can be found on the Food of Ra website.

Award badge of the South-Eastern Front, 1918-1920.

The myth of the swastikophiles is the assertion that the swastika was supposedly the heraldic symbol of the RSFSR, which was used almost until the 1930s. As evidence, we are given a photo of sleeve insignia and emblems of the Red Army with swastikas and two banknotes, where swastikas are woven into the pattern.

Indeed, sleeve patches and award badges for commanders with swastikas existed on the South-Eastern Front. But let's take a closer look in connection with what the swastika appeared on this front. The southeastern front fought in the south against Denikin, and in addition to the Russian regiments, Kalmyk units fought on both sides of the front. On March 20, 1919, a division was formed from the Kalmyk units in the 11th Army of the Southeastern Front. In this regard, in November 1919, the front commander V. I. Shorin signed decree No. 213 on the introduction of an identification mark in the form of a swastika for the Kalmyk units.

The order read:

"Order to the troops of the South-Eastern Front No. 213

The distinctive sleeve insignia of the Kalmyk formations is approved, according to the attached drawing and description.

To assign the right to wear to all commanding staff and Red Army soldiers of the existing and formed Kalmyk units, in accordance with the instructions of the order of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic p. for No. 116.

APPENDIX explained the order:

Appendix to the order to the troops of the South-Eastern Front p. city ​​№213

Description

Rhombus measuring 15 x 11 centimeters made of red cloth. In the upper corner is a five-pointed star, in the center is a wreath, in the middle of which is “lyungtn” with the inscription “R. S. F. S. R.” The diameter of the star is 15 mm, the diameter of the wreath is 6 cm, the “Lungtn” size is 27 mm, the letter is 6 mm.

The sign for the command and administrative staff is embroidered in gold and silver, and for the Red Army soldiers it is screen-printed.

The star, "lyungtn" and the ribbon of the wreath are embroidered with gold (for the Red Army - with yellow paint), the wreath itself and the inscription - with silver (for the Red Army - with white paint).

The swastika in the order is called "lyungnt" - this is clearly not a Slavic name - Kalmyks have such a rank of monk as Gelung. And most importantly, it was introduced exclusively for the Kalmyks, the Mongolian people who profess Buddhism and for whom the swastika is a common symbol. Thus, the swastika of the Southwestern Front has nothing to do with Russia, nor with the Slavs, nor with the Russian people. The swastika was adopted for the Kalmyk national units and existed in this capacity until 1920.

With swastikas on banknotes even easier. These swastikas went to the Soviet republic from the tsarist regime. In 1916, a monetary reform was planned and new clichés of banknotes with swastikas were prepared, but the revolution prevented this. Then, in 1917, the provisional government used swastika clichés for banknotes of 250 and 1000 rubles. The Bolsheviks, after the capture, had to use the royal cliches for banknotes of 5,000 and 10,000 rubles out of sheer necessity.

As you can see, this myth of the swastikophiles turned out to be false. The swastika was not a heraldic symbol of Soviet power. In the case of the use of the swastika in the Red Army, it was a sign for the Kalmyk units. In the case of swastikas on Soviet banknotes, there are only two such banknotes, and they were inherited by the RSFSR from the tsarist government. None of these swastikas is a Russian national sign and quickly disappeared after the appearance of the first fascist organizations in Germany. For the first time, the swastika was lit up among the thugs of the Kapp putsch in Germany in 1920. Since then, the swastika has become the personification of reactionary forces and therefore could not be a symbol of Soviet power.
