| Phrase who came to us. Who will come to us with a sword .... Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky is the heavenly patron of the Russian Host |
|
On April 5, 1242, a battle took place, rightfully inscribed in the tablets of brilliant Russian military victories, and is currently known as the Battle on the Ice. In the battle on the ice of Lake Peipus, the Russian squad led by Prince Alexander Nevsky defeated the army of the knights of the Teutonic Order. In honor of this event, we propose to refresh the memory of the most famous statements of Alexander Nevsky. Grand Duke of Vladimir and Kyiv, Prince of Novgorod Alexander Yaroslavich was born on May 13, 1221. The victory won by him on July 15, 1240 on the banks of the Neva over a detachment commanded by the future ruler of Sweden, Jarl Birger, brought universal fame to the young prince. It was for this victory that the prince began to be called Nevsky. On April 5, 1242, by defeating the knights of the Teutonic Order on the ice of Lake Peipus, the prince entered his name in history as a commander who secured the western borders of Russia. Died November 14, 1263. He was buried in the Vladimir Monastery of the Nativity of the Virgin. He was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1547. In 1942, the Soviet government established the Order of Alexander Nevsky. In many military units In Russia, we will find on the posters the phrase “Whoever enters us with a sword will die by the sword!”. And the signature under it: "Alexander Nevsky". In this case, we are dealing with a cultural-historical curiosity. And that's why. Some statements of Alexander Yaroslavich Nevsky, one of those great princes of Russia, who most strongly influenced its history, have come down to us. However, it seems that he did not say precisely these words, otherwise they would have been preserved in the memory of those from whose words the chroniclers then, in hot pursuit, recorded the facts of the biography of Alexander Nevsky. Why do we still cite them in the book Speeches that Changed Russia? The answer to this question is given by the feature film "Alexander Nevsky", directed by Sergei Eisenstein in 1938 under Stalin's genuine patronage, who made his own adjustments both to the script and to the final editing of the film. The film was supposed to become not only an artistic, but also an ideological phenomenon. Threat big war was then real, and this threat came from Germany. The historical parallels with the film were transparent to the viewer. When the film was released in 1938, it was a huge success, comparable only to the success of Chapaev. Sergei Eisenstein received the Stalin Prize and a doctorate in art history without defending a dissertation. However, shortly after the release of the picture, it was withdrawn from distribution for reasons of political correctness in relation to Germany, with which during this period the USSR was trying to establish strong ties. In 1939 Soviet Union signed a non-aggression pact with Germany, and the film was forbidden to be shown by special order and put on the shelf so as not to lose Hitler's favor and not to give rise to the negative image of the German conqueror in the minds of Soviet citizens. However, as we know, the non-aggression pact was treacherously violated by the Nazis in 1941, and it no longer made any sense to keep the film on the shelf. After the start of the Great Patriotic War"Alexander Nevsky" returned to the screens with even more resounding success. And even more than that, in 1942 it was 700 years since the battle on Lake Peipsi. There was an impression that the film was specially shot for this date, and even with propaganda overtones. Indeed, in the film, the knights of the Teutonic Order (Germans) are represented as a powerful, well-organized force that turns into nothing when they meet with the heroism and resourcefulness of the Russian people. Pointing to this, Stalin's words were printed on the posters of the film: "Let the courageous image of our great ancestors inspire you in this war." The film ends with the complete victory of the Russian troops over the invaders. In the final scenes, the people of Novgorod decide their fate in this way: ordinary soldiers are released, the knights are left for ransom, and the leaders of the troops are executed. Actor Nikolai Cherkasov, the performer of the role of Alexander Nevsky, throws to the departing knechts so that they tell everyone else: “Whoever enters us with a sword will die from the sword! On that stood and will stand the Russian land! At that moment, these words sounded very relevant: it seemed as if the disgraced and defeated Germans of the thirteenth century had to convey these words to the Germans of the twentieth. But, apparently, neither one nor the other heard these words. But they were accepted with all their hearts, understood and inspired by them by the Russian people of the twentieth century, to whose lot it fell to repulse the powerful, well-organized force of fascism and turn it into nothing. The historical parallels were not accidental, as evidenced, in particular, by the words of the filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein: “It was 1938. "Patriotism is our theme" - stood steadily before me and before all creative team during filming, during dubbing, during editing. Reading the annals of the 13th century and the newspapers of today at the same time, you lose the feeling of the difference in time, because the bloody horror that the knightly orders of the conquerors sowed in the 13th century is almost no different from what is being done now in some countries of the world. Let us now return to the personality of Alexander Nevsky. Oddly enough, not much is known about him. "The Life of Alexander Nevsky", created in the early 80s of the XIII century, is small in size, and it is no coincidence that Nikolai Mikhailovich Karamzin, the author of the "History of the Russian State", inserts large excerpts from the reports of Plano Carpini and Willem into the presentation dedicated to Alexander Nevsky van Rubruk about their trips to the Horde in order to balance the volumes of the various chapters of his historical work. But, as they say, what is - is. Apparently, the explanation for this lies in the fact that the activities of Alexander Nevsky were mainly devoted to his relationship with the restless Novgorodians, with their formidable western neighbors - the Germans and Swedes - and with the Horde, which brought great trouble to the prince. And the interests of the chroniclers traditionally lay in the plane of confrontation between Kyiv and Vladimir princes although, to be honest, historical plan these endless intrigues no longer mattered. Not for nothing that Andrei Bogolyubsky, mindful of the sad fate of his father, Prince Yuri Dolgoruky, who was poisoned by the Kyiv boyars, renounced his claims to the Kyiv grand-ducal table.
However, even the little that we know about Alexander Nevsky arouses great interest in him as a politician and military leader. Here are two opinions expressed by people who spoke with the prince. The first belongs to the master of the Livonian Order, Andrei Velven, who, after talking with Alexander, noted: “I went through many countries and saw many peoples, but I did not meet such a king among kings, nor a prince among princes.” The second was expressed by Khan Batu after meeting with Alexander Nevsky: "They told me the truth that there is no prince like him." Of course, when reading The Life of Alexander Nevsky, you notice that its author, following the dictates of his time, sets out the speeches and deeds of his hero through the prism of a Christian, or rather Orthodox attitude to the world and people, and, of course, Alexander himself thought and spoke in that the same key. An example of this is the words of Alexander Nevsky, which he said to his soldiers before the Battle of the Neva: “There are not many of us, but the enemy is strong; but God is not in power, but in truth: go with your prince!” A curiosity related to those attributed to the atheistic Soviet time To Alexander Nevsky, the words “Whoever enters us with a sword will die by the sword!” is also connected with the fact that this statement is very reminiscent of one verse from the biblical “Revelation of John the Theologian”: “Whoever leads into captivity, he himself will go into captivity ; whoever kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and faith of the saints” (Rev. 13:10). In conclusion, it is necessary to mention the appeal to Alexander noted by the chronicler from Pope Innocent IV, who sent two legates to the prince, Cardinals Hald and Gemont, with a proposal to convert to the Catholic faith. In a response letter, Alexander Nevsky wrote the following words, which have not lost their relevance even today. Answer of Prince Alexander Nevsky to papal legates, 1251 From Adam to the flood, from the flood to the division of peoples, from the confusion of peoples to Abraham, from Abraham to the passage of Israel through the Red Sea, from the exodus of the sons of Israel to the death of David the king, from the beginning of the reign of Solomon to Augustus the king, from the power of Augustus to the birth of Christ , from the birth of Christ to the suffering and resurrection of the Lord, from His resurrection to the ascension into heaven, from the ascension to heaven to the reign of Constantine, from the beginning of the reign of Constantine to the first Council, from the first Council to the seventh - we know all this well, but from you teachings are not acceptable. Quote from the Bible, the words of Jesus Christ. Chapter 26 of the Gospel of Matthew describes how they came to arrest Jesus, the betrayed one. One of Jesus' supporters decided to fight for him (ch. 26, pp. 51-52):
In the Revelation of John the Theologian (chapter 13, p. 10) it is said:
This phrase from the Bible became the basis of the famous expression attributed to Alexander Nevsky. Examples

The best modern parables author Team of authorsWho will come to us with a sword… The young man, who cares for the Teaching, which he followed, was very worried about ignorant people. And all the time he tried to bring the light of truth to the common people in order to open for them faith and mutual understanding, love and kindness. The wise master did not hold back The Western world was so stunned that until now no one could have thought that this was just the beginning ... On that day, the head of state not only managed to put the arrogant West in its place, but also showed the whole world that even such strategically important information is really can be hidden from the secret services of "collective America". In order to fully appreciate the stupor of our geopolitical partners, and why all these months they stubbornly could not believe in the reality of what was happening, it is necessary to remember that it was the military secrets of other states that have always been the object of the closest attention. In this regard, to realize the fact that the West lost not only the battle of innovative weapons with a devastating score, but also the area in which, after the collapse of the USSR, reigned supreme, was akin to punishment for it. And to assume that after a couple of months Russia would strike another blow, all the more went beyond their capabilities. However, just the other day, the Chinese analytical publication Haijiang stated in an editorial: “Unbeknownst to everyone, Moscow has again left Washington with nothing. Russia's new weapons have again shocked the Western world." - "Let's go through the facts",- suggests the Chinese press.
But the main blow "in the gut", according to Chinese experts, is not even that. And the fact that Russia, as the country that was the first to adopt hypersonic weapons, was the first to demonstrate the means to destroy them. In other words, Russia literally humiliated the US military, who recently declared that they were defenseless against hypersonic weapons, had no analogues of such missiles, and would not be able to create full-fledged defenses for many years to come. And suddenly, this: after testing the complex, the Russian side goes out to the public and says - S-500 missiles can intercept drones, military aircraft and, attention - hypersonic missiles.
Also, at the end of last month, another seemingly unobtrusive event took place. However, in fact, it was a strategic and technological breakthrough.
Many events in modern world pass by ordinary people. And this is not surprising, because countries have their own language of communication. However, if we translate the words of Russia, spoken to her in 2018 by the United States, then they will sound something like this: - « Whoever comes to us with a sword, consider that he no longer exists.». The rector of the temple, Archpriest Vasily Gonchar, told our correspondent about the temple icons: The history of the icon of John the Baptist very unusual. At the very beginning of the life of the temple, it was brought by a woman from a family in which the icon was inherited. This icon is one of the ruined Kamchatka churches, it was badly damaged: it was burnt, and it was impossible to distinguish the face. It seemed to us then that this was an icon of the Savior, and we placed it in a place appropriate for such an icon. But from the moment it appeared in the temple, it began to be updated, and now we see that John the Baptist is depicted on the icon. And she was appointed over the confessional, because the Forerunner called everyone to repentance. And the fact that the icon of John the Baptist has been renewed over the years is a small miracle, and the parishioners of the temple are very reverent about this. IconMother of God "Port Arthur": Exactly two months before the start Russo-Japanese War On December 11, 1903, an old sailor Fyodor, a participant in the defense of Sevastopol, came to the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra to say a word. He prayed earnestly for the Russian fleet in Port Arthur. Once in a dream he had a vision: the Most Holy Theotokos standing with her back to the bay of the sea. The Mother of God reassured the fearful sailor and told that a war would soon begin, in which Russia would face great trials and losses. The Lady of Heaven ordered to make an image that accurately reflects the vision and send the icon to the Port Arthur Church, promising patronage and victory to the Russian army Photo: Genuine Icon of the Mother of God of Port Arthur in Kamchatka When the news about the beginning of the war came, the monks and pilgrims of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, who knew about the vision of the sailor, collected a nickel each (they did not accept more than one person) for materials for making the icon. For the work of the master did not take anything. On the image, in enamelled script, was written: “As a blessing and a sign of triumph to the Christ-loving army of Far Russia from the holy monasteries of Kyiv and 10,000 pilgrims and friends.” We have in our church an icon of the Mother of God of Port Arthur, dear to my heart, a copy of it was made from a genuine icon, which today is in one of the churches in Vladivostok. When the religious procession along the maritime borders was conceived Russian state, it was originally proposed to make it with a genuine icon. Then the archbishop of Vladivostok and Primorsky Veniamin agreed to transfer the icon of the Mother of God "Port Arthur" for the duration of the northern transition, but after its completion, the icon should have been returned to Vladivostok. This option did not suit us, because we wanted the icon to remain in our diocese after such a long procession. We also thought that the icon would depict our Avacha Bay, three brothers and volcanoes. But without the blessing of the Patriarch, it is not permissible to do such things, so we turned to the ever-memorable Patriarch Alexy and received permission: “Blessed without changing the appearance of the Virgin,” that is, we were only allowed to change the appearance of the bay. Icon-painting workshops did not agree to paint it: the icon is unusual, and it had to be painted in a short time. For icon painters, I had to prepare a whole package of documents and photographs of hills, volcanoes, bays. It was completed a week before the start of the procession.
Our Icon of the Mother of God "Port Arthur" passed three oceans and ten seas, 200,500 nautical miles or 20.0 thousand kilometers, crossed the Sea of Okhotsk, visited Magadan and, completing the procession, returned with warships to Kamchatka. Now she lives in our church. Icon of St. blgv. Prince Alexander Nevsky: It was presented to us, but it was large in size and in our small church we had nowhere to place it, and we presented it to the military church of St. Apostle Andrew the First-Called in Rybachy. At that time, we already had a temple icon, on which Prince Alexander Nevsky is depicted with a sword in his hands. It was he who said: “Whoever comes to us with a sword will die by the sword.”
But on the icon, the weapon is more of a symbol. But when we talk about the defense of the Fatherland, when it is in danger, then the ministers of the church take up the sword. St. Sergius of Radonezh, having blessed Prince Dimitri, subsequently gave the Russian army of Donskoy two schemamonks - Alexander Peresvet (former boyar Bryansk) and Andrey Oslyabya (former boyar Lyubetsky). Both of them were experienced warriors before becoming monks and died on the Kulikovo field. The duel between Peresvet and Celebey was more of a spiritual battle than a physical one.
“... In the understanding of the Russian people, the Kulikovo field was a “judgment place”, where two troops gathered not only to measure their strength, but where the Judgment of the measure and truth of God over a person was to take place, where the question was decided: should there be a Russian Land and a Russian state?” What about Alexander Nevsky? Being a famous warrior, he goes and bows to Batu Khan, he chooses between the wild Mongols and the Latin West. He goes into physical captivity to wild tribes, saving the Russian people from spiritual captivity. INTERCUT: “The historical task facing Alexander Nevsky was twofold: to protect the borders of Russia from the attacks of the Latin West and to strengthen the national identity within the borders. The salvation of the Orthodox faith was the main stone of the political system of Alexander Nevsky. Orthodoxy for him, not in words, but in deeds, was “the pillar and ground of the truth.” With a deep and ingenious hereditary historical instinct, Prince Alexander realized that in his historical era the main danger to Orthodoxy and the originality of Russian culture threatens from the West, and not from the East, from Latinism, and not from Mongolianism. Mongolianism brought slavery to the body, but not to the soul. Latinism threatened to distort the very soul. Latinism was a militant religious system, striving to subjugate and remake the Orthodox faith of the Russian people according to its own model. Mongolianism was not at all a religious system, but only a cultural and political one. It carried with it civil-political laws (Chinggis Yas), and not religious-ecclesiastical ones. The main principle of the Great Mongol state was precisely broad religious tolerance, or even more - patronage of all religions. Two feats of Alexander Nevsky - the feat of warfare in the West and the feat of humility in the East - had one goal: the preservation of Orthodoxy as the moral and political strength of the Russian people. This goal was achieved: the growth of the Russian Orthodox kingdom took place on the soil prepared by Prince Alexander. The tribe of Alexander Nevsky built the Moscow state.
