Essay on the topic: “Motherland. What is Motherland for a Russian person? What does the word homeland mean for a person

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Motherland, like parents, is not chosen. Poems and songs are written about her, films are made, monuments are erected and pictures are painted.

This concept is invested in children's heads from an early age in order to instill a patriotic spirit and educate worthy citizens of their country. Despite this, few people can clearly answer the question of what the Motherland is.

The origin and meaning of the concept of Motherland

In a lifetime, a person can change several places of residence: cities, regions and even countries.

If we proceed from the fact that the Motherland is a place, to which the soul is attached and where all the time pulls, then which of them can be called that? Where was he born? Or where he spent his last years? Or maybe this concept means the territory where the individual (?) lived most of his life?

The word "motherland" has the root "genus", meaning a community of people who are related by blood. In ancient times, the task of preserving the family was overvalued, since only in groups people could survive by getting food and defending themselves from enemies.

To remain alone meant to meet certain death. The modern world - quiet and comfortable - no longer carries so much danger, and yet the value of kinship has remained, albeit not so pronounced. We are all descendants of those ancient people.

We are united by a common territory, language, cultural and moral values. We have, we. We celebrate some public holidays and are ready to defend our country if necessary. Our Motherland is Russia.

homeland also called Fatherland because this is the place where our fathers and grandfathers lived. It turns out that the Motherland and the Fatherland are mom and dad, in a broader sense, ancestors. This is the country where your parents lived, and where you were born, raised and brought up.

Small and big Motherland

Often they distinguish between a large and a small Motherland. In fact, the concepts are almost identical, they are simply used in a broad and narrow sense.

The Great Motherland is a broad concept meaning the native country, the state. In this case, Russia, Russian land.

Small Motherland also means a geographical location, but narrower, pinpoint. This is the city or town in which the individual was born. This is the house and street where he grew up with the neighbors. School and first teachers.

That is, if a person was born in one locality, and later moved to another, then we can say that he left his small homeland, but not the big one.

Staying in the same country, but in another city, people miss their land, because it was there that the happiest and brightest period of life passed - childhood. Therefore, many consider the Fatherland place where you were born miss it and dream of returning there.

What does love for one's country mean?

Ask anyone who has left for permanent residence in another state how he feels about the country he left. Each of them (there are, of course, exceptions) will tell about the longing associated with memories of the Motherland.

A person can change his geographic location, but nothing can change his past, remove feelings and emotions associated with it from consciousness. If not explicitly, then in the depths of his soul he will dream all his life that come back and look at home at least with one eye, walk through the places of your childhood and youth, breathe in the “same” air.

So what is love to motherland in what way does it manifest itself?

1. A paradox, you can not be, but at the same time have a strong attachment to her. This happens when a person is dissatisfied with internal politics and the actions of the authorities, but will never agree to leave his land. This is what love is;
2. You can not respect the government and its laws, but if trouble comes, most of the inhabitants will rally to protect their homeland. This is also love;
3. Motherland is loved and appreciated not for something, but just like that. They love the people who live here, the endless expanses of fields and forests, the seas and oceans, its history and culture.

Everyone chooses for himself what to love his country for, but there are practically no indifferent people. A person without a Motherland is like without a family: a lonely, nomadic wanderer who cannot find his refuge. He is not attached to anything and therefore does not have a deep meaning of existence.

Love for the motherland is not only pride, joy for the victories and accomplishments of one's people. It is also the bitterness of losses, mistakes and defeats. Only a mature person is able to understand this, endowing this concept with a more global essence.

"Motherland. Let them shout “Ugly woman!”, but we like her, the sleeping beauty,” Y. Shevchuk sang, metaphorically saying that everyone loves their country, whatever it may be.

The house where we live
And starlings of spring songs
Behind the open window.

"Motherland is a mother, know how to stand up for her."
« Motherland is more beautiful than the sun, more precious than gold.”

Listen to the story of K. D. Ushinsky "Our Fatherland" and think about what synonyms for the word Motherland can you choose?

Our fatherland, our motherland is Mother Russia. We call Russia Fatherland because our fathers and grandfathers lived in it from time immemorial.

We call it Motherland because we were born in it, they speak our native language in it, and everything in it is native to us; and mother, because she fed us with her bread, made us drink with her waters, taught us her language; like a mother, she protects and protects us from all enemies ...
There are many good states and lands in the world, and besides Russia, but a person has one mother - he has one and his homeland.

(posted on the boardtablets with the words FATHERLAND, NATIVE SIDE, NATIVE COUNTRY, FATHERLAND)

– Do you think these words are similar or different in meaning?
All these words have a common meaning. They all denote the place where a person was born, where he lives, works. Learns where his family and friends live.
MOTHERLAND, FATHERLAND, FATHERLAND. With these words we call our country - Motherland.

Where did the word "homeland" come from? Let's listen to the children who found in the dictionaries words that are close in meaning to this word.

The word "RODINA" comes from the ancient word "ROD", which denotes a group of people united by blood relationship. Each of us is a descendant of some ancient family.

Rod is the god of Slavic-Russian mythology, the ancestor of life, the spirit of ancestors. Protector of family and home. In honor of this god, the main city of the Ross tribe, Roden, is named.

– We live in Russia. This is our Motherland. So who are we? We are Russians.

Working with the map

– Russia is the largest country on Earth (map). On the map, the border of our Motherland is shown in red. Moscow is the capital of Russia. Russia occupies a ninth of all land. It is located in two parts of the world at once: in Europe and in Asia. Its territory is so large that it takes almost a week to travel by train from west to east.

Work in pairs

You have cards with a physical card on your desks. First, a neighbor on the desk shows the border of our Motherland, the capital, the other checks. Then we'll switch roles.

Russia is called a rich country.
Ozhegov's explanatory dictionary explains:
" Rich is the same as plentiful, containing a lot of something valuable.
- How rich is Russia?

forests;
minerals (oil, diamonds, peat, coal, granite, sand and clay, iron ore);

Guys, what is an algorithm? (children's answers)

That's right, guys, it's a sequence in action.

Algorithm for making a flag layout

On a light rectangular blank, 18 x 6 cm in size, arrange the colored stripes in the correct order, 18 x 2 cm in size. Compare with the flag of Russia, and if everything is correct, then carefully stick them.

While the "panel" dries, let's make a stand for the "pole". To do this, fill the cork from a plastic bottle with plasticine.

The dried “panel” must be bent in half so that it turns out to be double-sided, 9 x 6 cm in size and smeared with glue.

Glue the halves, after inserting a "shaft" between the two sides (you can use a pencil, a stick).

Insert the flag into the stand.

Poem "I love Russian birch" Yesenin

The teacher offers to draw his idea of Motherland

And, really, what is the Motherland for a modern person? Does the meaning of such a life-giving concept change over time? Let's figure it out.

Origin of the word

There is no need to say that it is rooted in the unknown depth of centuries. Its basis is "genus". That is, what was both strength and love for the ancient Russians. Rod meant not just a reliable environment and support. It was a symbol of the ability to live without being constantly at risk of disappearing from hostile external forces. It turns out that the origin of the word "motherland" is very ancient and no less deep.

The meaning of the word "homeland"

Let's look at several options for interpreting the concept. There is the simplest, even primitive interpretation: the place where a person was born. This refers to the geographical and administrative territory. In a broad sense - a country, in a narrower sense - a city (village, village, and so on). It is strange that most dictionaries interpret the word "motherland" in this very narrow sense. It turns out that the question "What is the homeland?" we can say with confidence that this is exactly the state where we happened to see the light. Is it really? Especially in modern conditions, when states arise and die, sometimes without even having time to exist for a couple of decades. What, those who were born in the Soviet Union no longer have a homeland? Probably, this concept needs to be interpreted much deeper. After all, with a change in the name of the territory and even a change in the economic system, the clan does not disappear! It continues. It turns out that the word "motherland" is somewhat deeper. It implies a community of people living in a certain territory and united by all kinds of ties (kindred and economic, cultural and political, that is, the most diverse).

How is meaning filled?

Arguing about what the Motherland is, one cannot help but associate this concept with the soul of the individual. The meaning of this word is filled with personal perception. A person who believes that the Motherland is just a locality treats his country in a completely different way than someone who
believes that Everyone, with his own understanding and comprehension of this word, fills him with his own thoughts, from which actions grow. For the Russian, love for the Motherland has always been sacred. At the same time, the concept extended both to the territory and to people. Dividing into relatives and "strangers" was not accepted. Everyone who lived in the country automatically became his own. This understanding of the Motherland is also relevant in the modern world. Although not everywhere. There is a tendency of "democratic" countries to replace the deep meaning of the word "motherland" with a more mundane concept, to take away its most "spiritual" features. It turns out that the "clan" is replaced by close relatives (husband, wife and children). In such a very narrow concept, there is no longer room for the desire to defend one's land, country, people. Only selfish desires for their own well-being remain. It cannot be said that the word “motherland” has no right to exist, only this is a completely different, “not our” life. Take away the Fatherland from the Russian, and he will turn into an American - such an opinion existed back in Soviet times, and not in vain.

Where does the Motherland begin?

No wonder this line from a well-known song found such a deep response in the souls of the older generation. In that ruined country, they understood well what the Motherland was. She is the courtyard in which childhood passed, where life was seething with dreams and love. She is a state that needs each of its inhabitants like air! Yes, and nothing has changed. Only in essays on the topic “My small Motherland” do children write not about the beauty of their city, but about its representatives who have made a breakthrough in programming. For them, the expanses have expanded in terms of gaining a different dimension. Now it is important not only and not so much the geographical space as the information space. It turns out that despite the many critical attacks on the total dependence on the Internet, “motherland” becomes a multidimensional concept. It begins with everything that the “kind” could create for the benefit of its members. And this is not only the improvement of the territory and the well-being of families. It is also an information space that is becoming increasingly important.

How does the concept change in the context of globalization?

We cannot close our eyes to the fact that the trends of the modern world are erasing the understanding of ethnicity and nationality from the minds of young people. The desire to become an "inhabitant of the planet" is becoming more and more fashionable. If we follow the logic of the population, then in such a world the whole Earth should become the homeland. But the opposite happens: having abandoned the “kind”, a person becomes an eternal outcast. He does not find anywhere the basis that he receives by associating himself with the country of birth and its population. Hence the conclusion, which is not at all desirable for many: globalization deprives us of our homeland. Its meaning is lost. We become rootless, just bad or good? And what do you think?

The meaning of the concept of "homeland"

No matter how much a person strives to move away from his country, improving the living conditions of his family, the place where he grew up does not let go. "Motherland" does not exist as a territory in conjunction with the people. She is part of the soul. Immigrants often talk about this. You can hate the rulers, but the smells and sights of your beloved country haunt you all the time. They appear out of nowhere and make you yearn for the "birch trees" or the "pond" (each in its own way). The meaning of the word "motherland" cannot be overestimated. This is exactly the concept that identifies a person. For centuries, his family was associated with a certain people, lifestyle, culture. There is no escape from this. The word "motherland" means everything together: geography and population, politics and culture. The main thing in it is what distinguishes the totality of these concepts from another totality characterizing a different country. Only a mature person can fully embrace and realize the depth of this word. The motherland is not only the victories of the state and individual citizens, it is both defeats and losses. This is not only pride in achievements, but also pain due to “imperfections”, mistakes and thoughtlessness. Motherland is something without which a person feels lost and disoriented, deprived of the deepest meanings of existence, something for which it is not a pity to give his life!

Cool! 48

Homeland… One has only to pronounce this word - I immediately imagine my home, parents, friends, my favorite corner of nature, a place where it is good and comfortable, that is, everything that is dear to me and my heart. From this word emanates warmth and kindness. Homeland is not only the place where you were born and raised, but also the people around you.

Each person has his own understanding of the word Motherland. N.I. Rylenkov wrote:
Who really loves his homeland,
That love does not cloud the eyes,
The one to look down on in a foreign land
On those who love a different distance - will not
And these cannot be argued with. This must be understood and respected.

Indeed, for the first time a person begins to realize that he has a Motherland, and yearn for it when he finds himself far from home, where everything is alien and unfamiliar to him. There is a strong desire to return to where everything is sweet and dear to you, which cannot be explained and conveyed in words, but can only be felt.

Many famous people: scientists, writers, poets - went abroad for permanent residence. They probably thought that they would find a new home there, and a different life would begin. They were driven back by homesickness. Many, unfortunately, were not destined to return for political or other reasons, but the feeling of homesickness did not leave them all their lives and manifested itself in creativity - poems, stories, poems. Thus, making a significant contribution to our poetry and literature. For example, in the work of I. Bunin, Russia was constantly the topic of thought and poetry.

And there are many such examples. The themes of the Motherland were reflected in the poems of Pushkin, Lermontov, Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva, Gumilyov, Yesenin, Nabokov, this list can be continued almost indefinitely.

My homeland is Russia. I am proud that I was born, raised and live here. I love my Motherland not only for strength and beauty, valor and glory, but also for the people living in it, for their intelligence, selflessness, diligence, kindness and many other qualities. I love her for our nature, for the huge number of rivers and lakes, fields and forests. I just love her in spite of everything and no matter what.

If someone tells me that he does not love his homeland, I will not believe it. It just can't be. Most likely, the person is not yet aware of this. Over time, he will rethink everything and understand that the Motherland is a part of himself. You have to get there, it takes time. And most importantly - we must not forget: no matter how good it is at a party, it is still better at home. Love and protect your homeland. And after the trips, be sure to come back.

I think the Motherland is one of the greatest values ​​in our life. We do not choose which country to be born in, but it is our moral duty to love and protect it in order to pass it on to our children.

Firstly, the Motherland is not just the country in which you were born, but also the spiritual wealth of the people: language, culture, mentality, traditions and customs. In every family that consciously treats these values, folk songs are heard, holidays are celebrated and the folk spirit reigns. People strive to get to know their country, visiting not only famous places to see the sights, but every corner of it.

Secondly, even if a person lives abroad, far from the country in which he was born and raised, love for the Motherland will always live in his heart. In countries where there is a large diaspora of our people, people unite to support their native traditions.

Unfortunately, today there are many people who consider themselves patriots, but do nothing to improve life in our country. Patriotism is not just love for the Motherland, but also a willingness to stand up for it, to sacrifice something for the well-being of one's people.

Now our country is going through hard times. But, true patriots, those who appreciate the Motherland, will be able to overcome any difficulties.

Thus, the Motherland is the most valuable gift of our people. I am glad that I was born in this country, and I am happy to support the traditions of our ancestors.

I was born in the most wonderful country - in Russia. I am a patriot, so I love my country. For me, this is the best country, because it is where my parents live, who gave me life, and where I grew up. Russia is a big country with limitless possibilities. I do not understand those who want to leave here, as if life is much better in other countries.

We have the most beautiful nature, with endless fields, fragrant herbs and fragrant flowers. Great and mighty trees grow in the forests, which look simply magical in winter. In general, the winter forest can be admired and admired endlessly. Even visiting tourists appreciate the beauty of Russian nature. We must cherish it and appreciate what we have. There are also many animals in our forests, only our people treat nature as something for granted and do not protect it at all.

The land in Russia is full of various minerals, so we provide ourselves with many resources. And our resources are supplied to other countries. People are famous for their hospitality and willingness to help others. Our country is the most multinational and now all nations live in peace and friendship. Only we can boast of a variety of traditions and holidays. Our national cuisine is incomparable with any other cuisine in the world.

I'm really proud of my country. Our people cannot be defeated, because we are strong in spirit and never leave a comrade in trouble. Of course, Russia, like other countries, has its own problems, but all countries have them. Therefore, you should not look for a better life abroad, because it is not in vain that they say that it is good wherever we are not. There are foreigners who want to live in our country, so we must appreciate what we have. No one has such a beautiful and vast homeland, only the inhabitants of our country. We must protect Russia and be proud that we were born here

Motherland occupies a huge place in the work of any writer and poet. A.S. Pushkin and M.Yu. Lermontov, A.A. Blok and S.A. Yesenin. But in the lyrics of the latter, the theme of the motherland, by his own admission, takes first place. Yesenin loves his land, his land, his country. He loves deeply, unconditionally.

But I love you, meek homeland!

For what, I can't figure it out.

Such confessions in the work of S.A. Yesenin a lot. One of the epithets that characterize the native land is the word "beloved". But the poet's image of the motherland is not unambiguous, and his perception of this image is also contradictory.

At the beginning of his creative path, the poet draws his native land beautiful, quiet, modest. These are white birches, green maples, poplars. This is the blue of heaven, crimson distances. “My Quiet Homeland”, wooden, with vestments in huts, with endless fields, deep snows. The poet admires his native side, admires its beauty. But at the same time, he sees her wretchedness, and dullness, and backwardness.

You are my forgotten edge,

You are my native land!

The war brings new troubles to the native land. Now the cotton homeland is no longer the same. The poet sees that the village is getting poorer and poorer, that changes are needed. He is disappointed in his native land, because the land where he was born and grew up is poor.

I'm tired of living in my native land

In longing for buckwheat expanses,

Leave my hut

I will leave as a vagabond and a thief.

Therefore, S. Yesenin enthusiastically accepted the revolution. He hoped that the changes would affect the village, that a "peasant's paradise" would come. Unfortunately, after a few years, he did not see any changes for the better in the lives of the peasants. And the homeland became alien and uncomfortable for him, because he could not understand and accept the new that was happening in life. The industrialization of the country scared him. Yesenin believed that the machines would destroy that blue, chintz Russia that he loved so much. In the poem "Sorokoust" the Russian village is depicted as a colt trying to overtake a steam locomotive. The hero of the poem warns him. Death threatens a small foal "steel horse"

A trip abroad dealt another blow to the poet. He saw a completely different life. His lyrical hero comes into conflict with himself. His love wavered. Returning to his homeland, he felt unnecessary in his native country, where they sing the songs of Demyan Poor, read "Capital". In the poem "Yes! Now it's decided. No return ... ”(1922-1923) he confesses his love for the city:

I love this elm city

Let him be flabby and let him be deaf.

But it's just pain. Pain from unfulfilled hopes and the collapse of the worldview that the young poet had. The suffering of the poet is strong. During this period, a cycle of poems "Tavern Rus" appears.

And yet, the poet gradually begins to understand that the old Russia can no longer be returned. He is trying to find his place again in this, now a new life. But ... In one of the poems, S. Yesenin admits:

And now that here's a new light

And my life touched fate,

I still remain a poet

Golden log cabin.

The homeland for the poet remained the same, unchanged.

I found out that I have
There is a huge family
And the path, and the forest,
In the field, every spikelet!
River, blue sky
This is all mine, dear!
This is my homeland
I love everyone in the world!

In ordinary life, I practically do not use the word "Motherland". Only at school in the classroom, and then if the topic of the lesson is related to this word. When communicating with friends, I also do not talk about the Motherland. But, having decided to write an essay on the topic: “Why I love the Motherland”, only then I thought about what the Motherland is for me and my attitude towards it. The word "Motherland" means "native". Motherland is the place where I was born, where my relatives and friends live, where my father's house and my family are. Motherland is a part of my life. For me it is more than a word! I think this is the most important thing for every person. Wherever you are, you always pull back to your native land. There is only one homeland. And I consider the expression “second Motherland” to be erroneous or incorrect, there is no second Motherland. Just like there is no second mother. The homeland is also called the mother. But there is another name for the Motherland - fatherland, fatherland. When you say these words, then I have a concept of protection associated with a military meaning. For me, of course, the word "Motherland" is closer. This word immediately brings back memories of my mother. Because there is no dearer and closer person for me.

Russia is a huge, vast country with an amazing history, people, architecture, nature. Feature of our nature are birch groves. Birch is a white, “good” tree. In almost everyone, the birch evokes the concept of Russia, as well as the bear. My country has the largest gas reserves in the world. According to such words as "samovar", "gingerbread", "pancakes", "caviar", "dumplings", "Russian ballet", "figure skating", "chastushki", "Baikal" one can understand that we are talking about Russia .

Why do I love my country? I even do not know why. I just love her. It seems to me that I was born, and I already had this feeling. And if you explain in simple terms what it means to love the Motherland, then I think that you need to know the history, traditions of your people, take care of nature, do good deeds, be active, and if someone does not understand why love the Motherland, then you just need to explain to him.
