Every person living on our planet experiences a sense of pride in their Homeland

Every person living on our planet experiences a sense of pride in their Homeland, their people and country, their land and its history. What does the Motherland mean for each of us? The native side, where they speak our native language and everything in it is native to us. As a mother, she protects and protects us. I think that every person dreams of living in an ideal state.

The personification of the native land is its symbols. There is not a single country on the planet that does not have its own flag, coat of arms and national anthem. They are state symbols. Symbolism is a peculiar form of disclosure of the essence of the state, its differences or, conversely, similarities with other countries.

What is a symbol? For some people the symbols of their native country there are matryoshkas and samovars, for others-the Moscow Kremlin, and for someone, perhaps, the symbol of a huge Russia is, first of all, his "Malaya Rodina" - the city or village where he was born and raised. And each in his own way, he is right.

Let's look at the Ozhegov dictionary: "The symbol is what serves a conditional sign of some concept." For any modern state, its symbols exist in Trinity: anthem, coat of arms, flag. After all, not for nothing in honor of the winner in sports competitions, Olympiads raise the flag and its anthem sounds countries. They have an inherent historical continuity, and they serve to recognition of a particular state.

What is a coat of arms? The concept of "coat of arms" comes from the German word "heritage or inheritance" is a badge of distinction, the most important emblem States, cities, regions, as well as individuals and genera. His the image is placed on flags, coins, seals, letterheads, and others items to show belonging to a particular state. Coats of arms appeared a long time ago.

What does the Russian flag represent? Our flag has a rectangular shape and consists of three horizontal stripes. In 2002, The state Duma adopted The law on state the flag of Russia, according to which the tricolor flag is a tricolor (white-blue- red) was recognized as the national flag of Russia.

Why does the Flag have such colors? These colors did not accidentally appear on our flag. White means peace, purity, blue-sky, loyalty and truth, red-courage. All three colors have long been used in folk costumes. From white, blue, red linen shirts were sewn, women wore sarafans of red and white blue.

We must treat the flag of our state with respect and care. it should not be thrown on the ground, let alone stepped on, or used for other purposes.the Constitution provides for criminal liability for desecrating the flag. When taking the oath of allegiance to the Motherland, the soldiers kneel and kiss the corner of the banner. These words mean the same thing, only the word banner is Slavic, and the flag is Dutch. Earlier in Russia the banner was called the banner. Banners appeared in ancient times – they were at many ancient peoples. Banners used to be very important in battles, because they indicated the location of military leaders and individuals detachments.

A hymn is a solemn song or just a melody. It is performed on special, solemn occasions. The anthem, as I have already said, is performed if our athletes win international competitions. Why do they do this? This shows respect for the country from which the athlete comes. But we hear the anthem in other cases: on days of solemn holidays, meetings, when parades are held. When the anthem is sung, people stand up, men must remove their hats.

Our anthem is majestic, and its words glorify our Motherland – Russia.

Symbols of the state are both the history of the country and its present day. They Express the features of the country's historical path, its differences from other countries. To all existing and existing symbols

States should be treated with respect and honored as monuments of the past and the heritage of modernity. Symbols of Russia, symbols of the country, symbols of the people! I am proud of our symbols, which I got as an inheritance. They symbolize the greatness and power of my country. We always glorify we ask them for help, we win with them. We carry the glory of them by all the earth. They give us strength, and we pledge our loyalty to them. After all the future depends on us, because we are one whole, we are Russia!
