Symbols of different states. From the eagle to uncle sam or the main state symbols of the united states

From the speech of the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko on August 23, 2014 in honor of the day of the national flag of Ukraine:

“A survey conducted on the eve of Independence Day showed that almost 95% of Ukrainians are proud of both the national flag and the national emblem ... Our flag is a living witness to victories and failures. Failures, without which, unfortunately, there is no war ... Our national flag is a password by which we know who is ours and who is a stranger "

I, too, use this "password" to determine "who is ours and who is a stranger." And in this regard, I would like to offer you small digression on the history of national symbols of modern Ukraine:

Swastika and trident - a sign of the middle of the 20s for the participants of the youth Ukrainian organization "Plast". In general, nothing criminal. It is known that it was used long before the Bolsheviks, and under the Bolsheviks, in the years civil war, it was used, for example, by Kalmyk units.

Metropolitan Andrei Sheptytsky, one of those who supported Plast, donated funds for its development. Stepan Bandera, the future leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, was also a member of this organization.

Logo of the Union of Ukrainian Fascists, early 1920s.

"The Union of Ukrainian Fascists (SUF) is a nationalist organization created in Czechoslovakia by Ukrainian emigrants in the early 1920s. Leaders: Petr Kozhevnikov and Leonid Kostariv. On November 12, 1925, the SUF became a co-founder of the League of Ukrainian Nationalists (LUN), which served as the basis for the subsequent formation of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN). In January 1929, P. Kozhevnikov participated in the Constituent Congress of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, at which the ideological, program and statutory foundations of the OUN were developed. He was elected a member of the OUN Wire, met with Mussolini. According to the OUN, P Kozhevnikov was executed by the OUN(b) during the fight against the OUN(m), as he was suspected of collaborating with German intelligence as a representative of the OUN(m) P. Kozhevnikov survived the assassination attempt, but was imprisoned in a Soviet prison after the war and then emigrated in Germany"

Poems about love for Ukraine and " Appeal to the fascist brothers - members of the U.F.Z (Ukrainian Fascist Movement (Movement))"(translated from Ukrainian):

“My brothers, Fascists! At this moment all peoples are preparing for a fierce struggle for their existence, for their own to be or not to be.
Their struggle among themselves, we - the Nazis, must use! It will give us the opportunity to throw off the yoke of the oppressor!
The minute of this struggle is already approaching, and we all, as one, must take up a gun and with a formidable step stand up for the defense of our people, our state" (translated from Ukrainian).

Do you consider yourself worthy successors of their "struggle", their "ideals"? But not me! I am the grandson of a veteran of the Great Patriotic War, and my grandfather fought under a different flag and emblem for the independence of my great Motherland. But this did not prevent him from being Ukrainian and from loving Ukraine. I am also Ukrainian and love Ukraine, but not the Ukraine of Bandera and Hauptmann Shukhevych, not the Ukraine of the SS Galicia division, the Roland and Nachtigal battalions, not the Ukraine of the Schutzmanns from the 118th and other Schutzmannschaftbattalions. Not Ukraine, with "heroes" with a Nazi flavor, both past and present. This is not my Ukraine!

And yet, Polish blood flows in my veins. Ancestors, on the mother's side, were from Poland. My grandfather, a front-line soldier, prayed in Polish all his life. So he was taught in childhood, so he died. An Orthodox Ukrainian reading prayers in Polish. ... I will never forgive the Volyn massacre to the Bandera creatures! And, as a Pole, and as an Orthodox Ukrainian!

National flag

On the day of March 12, 1806, even before the start of the general struggle for independence from the Spanish crown, Francisco Miranda, one of the pioneers of the fight against the Spaniards, together with other like-minded people, for the first time adopted the flag that has the shown colors as a banner. Although the banner under which the patriots fought against the colonialists changed several times - after independence, Simon Bolivar adopted a flag for the Republic of New Granada, which is very similar to the one shown here. After the collapse of the country into Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador, the same colors on the national banners three countries preserved.

In Colombia, this flag was finally approved as the official national flag by the adoption of the relevant law on May 17, 1924.

Wheat for baking bread is the basis of folk food, gold is the wealth of the country, giving it power, and the sun is a symbol of a prosperous life; Blue colour symbolizes the water space of the country - the seas, rivers and lakes, with which Colombia is rich, as well as a clear sky; red is a reminder of how much blood of patriots was shed in the struggle for independence.

According to the law, the national flag must be displayed on every public or private house on days national holidays July 20th and August 7th. The national flag, like other national symbols, should be treated with respect. Any insult to national symbols can be punished by law.

national emblem

The National Emblem of Colombia is probably the earliest adopted national symbol.

The coat of arms was approved as a national symbol on May 9, 1834, shortly after the liberation of the country from Spanish colonialism.

At that time, the republic was called New Granada, which is reminiscent of the opened pomegranate at the top of the coat of arms. On its sides are two golden horns, symbolizing the wealth of the country: gold is pouring from one, and all kinds of fruits of the earth are pouring from the other. The middle part is occupied by a red cap worn on a spear as a symbol of the patriots' struggle for freedom. The lower part shows two ships: in the Caribbean and in Pacific Ocean, symbolizing the benefits of the strategic position of the country, which has access to two oceans. Above the emblem is an Andean condor with spread wings and a wreath of laurel, as a symbol of freedom, which should dominate the country. Under the condor flutters a golden ribbon on which the words "Freedom and Order" are written. Surround the coat of arms four national flag, symbolizing the natural regions into which the country is conditionally divided.

national flower

Colombia is the country with the largest number of orchid species in the world; more than 3,500 species have been recognized by botanists, but it is Cattleya Trianae that is one of the most common species and grows exclusively in this country. This orchid bears its name in honor of the Colombian botanist Jose Jeronimo Triana, who dedicated most his life to study these amazing plants.

In 1936, the Colombian Academy of History nominated the Cattleya Trianae as the country's national plant symbol.

National animal symbol

Although it has not yet been officially adopted as a national symbol, the Andean condor has been present in most variants of the national coat of arms of Colombia since the last century, incl. and in the present. The Andean Condor is the largest and most majestic bird that crosses the skies of the Andes. Its wingspan can reach three meters, weight reaches 12 kilograms. His power and strength are enormous, he can fly up to 200 leagues in a day. The condor rises into the sky only in sunny days, and its smooth, soaring flight delights everyone who manages to witness this unique spectacle. The plumage of its body has a gleaming black color, and when light is reflected it gives a bluish tint, white feathers are visible on the neck. For all this, he was given the nickname - the eternal bird. Inhabits the highest and most inaccessible heights of the Cordillera Andes.

Protected by God native land!

Wide scope for dreams and for life

The coming years open up to us.

Our loyalty to the Motherland gives us strength.
