Icons for their meaning. Magic symbols and their meaning
Millions of foreign tourists come to Russia every year. They go to see the homeland of Pushkin and Dostoevsky, admire the Russian ballet and make sure that bears walk on Red Square.
Those who are not attracted by the northern expanses also have their own opinion about our country. They are watching the events sitting on the couch, turning on the TV, and probably without much difficulty they will be able to distinguish the flag of our country from the Union Jack. In this article, we have collected the official and unofficial symbols of Russia, which are most often called by foreigners.
Official symbols of Russia
The coat of arms, flag and anthem are the official symbols of any modern state. They are fixed at the legislative level and personify the identity of the country. Not a single victory of our athletes or a summit meeting can do without them. 
The coat of arms of the state is a distinctive sign, an emblem on which objects of national pride are depicted. The double-headed eagle on the coat of arms of Russia appeared in the Middle Ages. Ivan III, having married the Byzantine princess Sophia, took her family coat of arms, hoping that this gesture would strengthen the position of our country, emphasizing the transfer of the power of the fallen Byzantium to the Russian state.
The Russian flag consists of white, blue and red horizontal stripes. The first flags of Ancient Rus' were military banners. They most often met red colors, as the most solemn and beautiful.
At the end of the 17th century, white, blue and red were recognized as the state colors of Russia, and in the Petrine period the current order of the stripes on the flag was also determined. According to legend, it was difficult for sailors to remember the order of flowers, for which they were mercilessly flogged with rods. To avoid punishment, resourceful sailors came up with a word to remember - "besik" - it is impossible to confuse colors with it.
Since then, the colors of the national flag of Russia have periodically changed. The last time, from 1917 to 1989, the red flag was the symbol of the Soviet state, the color of which personified the blood shed by the fighters for a brighter future. On August 24, 1991, the tricolor flag flew over the Kremlin immediately after the decision of the Extraordinary Session of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR to recognize it as a state flag.
Hymn. “Russia is our sacred power…” - these words, sounding at the most solemn moments, belong to Sergei Mikhalkov (the one who wrote “Uncle Styopa”) and Gabriel El-Registan. The test was set to music by Alexander Alexandrov.
Anthem of Russia (rock version). Beautiful video
Until the 18th century, the religious theme of chants dominated in Russia, and only during the time of Peter the Great did secular music begin to appear. The first official anthem was "Prayer of the Russians", the author was the poet V.A. Zhukovsky.
The Internationale is the unofficial anthem of the young Country of Soviets
Unofficial symbols of Russia
In addition to state symbols, there are also so-called unofficial symbols - what Russia is associated with in the minds of its citizens and foreigners:People who glorified our country;
Famous places;
Great achievements;
Natural monuments: high mountains, full-flowing rivers, huge lakes;
household items;
Toys, musical instruments, clothes;
Plants and animals.
Some of the most popular symbols of the country will be discussed below.
Why is birch a symbol of Russia?
There are many birches in Russia. They became a part of the life of a Russian person: in the summer they sheltered from the sun, and in the winter they gave fire to warm the peasant huts. Birch bast was used for weaving bast shoes and tueski, the first records were made on birch bark. 
Since ancient times, this tree has been endowed with special properties, considering it a symbol of purity and femininity. Our ancestors believed that not only girls, but also mermaids could not pass by the beauty of birch groves, gathering in such places to dance.
With the baptism of Rus', birch became associated with the church holiday of the Trinity. Temples and dwellings were decorated with young branches.
“A white birch under my window ...” - the heartfelt words of Sergei Yesenin, especially revered among emigrants who yearned for their homeland, forever erected this tree on the pedestal of the main symbols of Russia.
Red Square
Red Square is the heart of our state and the center of Moscow - one of the largest cities in Russia. Many important events take place here: the Victory Parade, concerts on the occasion of significant dates, and there is also the "altar of Russia" - this is how Mikhail Lermontov called the Moscow Kremlin. 
The architectural ensemble of the main square of the country, a bizarre mixture of buildings from different eras, organically illustrates the history of Russia. Its decoration - St. Basil's Cathedral - one of the most famous Orthodox churches in our country. It was erected in the middle of the 16th century on the occasion of the capture of Kazan.
Basil's Cathedral - a symbol of Russia
The Diamond Fund is the most popular museum in the Kremlin. It presents unique gems, gold nuggets, art objects, including the imperial scepter, small and large imperial crowns. These values were the official symbols of Tsarist Russia.
Matryoshka
This is the most famous wooden transformer doll in Russia. The name obviously comes from the Russian name Matrona, and the root of this word "mother" is not accidental. Foreigners affectionately call her "Babushka doll" with an emphasis on U. Matryoshka symbolizes motherhood, fertility, femininity. It appeared in the 19th century, the author is the artist Sergey Malyutin. 
In Japan, there is a similar toy - the figurine of the wise old man Fukurama, also consisting of several dolls nested one inside the other. She could be a prototype of the Russian matryoshka.
Russian troika
This is the name of an old horse team consisting of three horses. For the inhabitants of our country, the road has always had a special meaning: endless expanses, long journeys in the winter ... All this is invariably associated with horses - faithful companions of wanderers. The way of movement in threes made it possible to overcome long distances at a fairly serious speed, about 50 km per hour. Such teams appeared 200 years ago, and since 1840 they began to organize triplets competitions. 
The number "three" also had a sacred meaning for the Russian people: the holiday of the Trinity, the proverb "God loves the Trinity", three heroes, three wishes that a goldfish fulfills.
Balalaika
This favorite musical instrument of the Russian people is made in the form of a triangle with a fingerboard and has 3 strings. Exists for over 200 years. The balalaika acquired its modern look thanks to the musician Vasily Andreev. 
The existing myth "In Russia, many have been playing the balalaika since childhood"
There is no consensus on the origin of the balalaika. Some researchers claim that the instrument has Tatar or Kyrgyz roots, others insist on its Slavic origin. The balalaika has always accompanied peasant holidays and moments of rest, they were masterfully played by buffoons.
Samovar
It entered the everyday life of the Russian people in the 19th century after the widespread use of tea. The symbol of a hospitable home and family comfort has become the hero of proverbs, sayings and songs. The Urals is considered its homeland. In Zarechye in 1778, the Lisitsyn brothers made the first samovar, and then they organized a factory for their production. 
It is known that at the wedding of Sergei Yesenin and Isadora Duncan, there were samovars on the tables, from which they drank not tea, but cognac. Such a props was associated with the prohibition law in force at that time in the United States, which prohibited the import and consumption of alcoholic beverages.
From bast shoes to earflaps
Speaking about the symbols of Russia, it is impossible not to mention the items of national clothing. Bast shoes are a common version of peasant shoes. They were made from wood bast or birch bark. The peasants were poor and such cheap, but very short-lived shoes became a symbol of poverty and illiteracy of the people. Hence the well-known proverbs and expressions: “bast shoes” (about a simpleton), “we don’t slurp cabbage soup”. 
Felt boots are a winter version of warm and comfortable felt shoes, a symbol of the ingenuity of the Russian people. They are first mentioned in the Tale of Igor's Campaign.
Ushanka is a warm hat. It is believed that in Russian everyday life it appeared thanks to the Mongols, who protected themselves from cold winds with sheepskin hats. They were called Malachai.
Kokoshnik - a headdress in the form of a fan over the head. Usually women wore it for holidays. Known since the time of ancient Rus', was in everyday life of all classes. In modern Russia, it is an obligatory attribute of the Snow Maiden costume.
What else do foreigners associate Russia with?
If you ask any foreigner what Russia is associated with in his mind, then it is very likely that you will hear:Two troubles. Many people in Russia and abroad know the country's two main troubles: roads and fools. And if fools are from the realm of jokes, then the situation with the roads in Russia is really not the most favorable situation.
Nizhny Novgorod is considered the birthplace of Khokhloma; it is a special way of painting wooden furniture and utensils.
Gzhel - a craft for the production of ceramics and its painting in white and blue tones, originated in the Gzhel Bush area, not far from Moscow.
Palekh miniature, originally from the Vladimir region, is a painting of caskets, capsules, panels, needle beds, ashtrays and other small items. Russian ballet is valued all over the world for the high skill of the artists and the strongest school.
Vodka is an invariable attribute of Russia in the eyes of foreigners.
Frosts. The largest predominantly northern country in the world is famous for its bitter cold and snow. In Veliky Ustyug lives the owner of snow and blizzards - Father Frost.
Borsch, vinaigrette, caviar and pancakes. Our dishes are remembered only by those foreigners who were lucky enough to taste them. And if borscht or, as they say, borscht, pancakes and caviar are to the taste of the majority, then our vinaigrette, okroshka and pickles seem to foreigners not very edible, and jelly is simply disgusting (well, how can you eat salty jelly)

Have you ever wondered how many symbols you encounter every day? The purpose of any symbol is to convey meaning while saving space. But do we really know the true meanings of all those symbols that we use?
23 PHOTOS
1. Symbol of infinity.
The mathematical meaning of infinity dates back to 1655, when the English mathematician John Wallis first used it in his work De Sectionibus Conicis. Wallis did not explain his choice of this symbol, but it is thought to be a variant form of the Roman number CIƆ, which was sometimes used to represent plurality.
2. OK. In the US, the OK gesture is used to indicate that something or someone is okay. However, in some European countries it is an offensive gesture, which means that the person it is directed to is "null". In the countries of the Mediterranean and South America, the sign actually symbolizes the anus.
3. Pacific. The combination of the circle, the vertical line and the descending lines stands for the Pacific or peace symbol, designed by peacemaker Gerald Herbert Holt on February 21, 1958 as the logo of the direct action committee against nuclear war. The symbol was quickly adopted by the hippie community in the 1960s, which made it popular all over the world.
4. Smiley. Probably the most massive character in emails. The smiley was created in the early 1970s. The simplest, most childlike image of a happy face is inscribed in an ideal circle: two vertical, oval eyes and a large, upturned, semicircular mouth. The choice of yellow as the backdrop was set apart by the sun and represents a radiant, unclouded happiness.
5. Male symbol. The male symbol is known as the symbol of Mars. The image of a circle with an arrow coming out of it, pointing to the angle in the upper right corner, the symbol of Mars is an image of the shield and spear of the Roman god of war - Mars. It is also the symbol of the planet Mars, sometimes referred to as the "fire planet" or the "planet of war".
6. Female symbol. The female symbol is the astrological symbol of the planet Venus. It is also used to represent the female gender. The circle reminds us of the inclusive nature of our universe. It also represents the womb of a woman. The cross (added in the 16th century) under the circle indicates that all matter is born from the womb.
7. Recycling symbol. This iconic symbol originated on the very first Earth Day in April 1970. At the time, Container Corporation of America was sponsoring a nationwide competition for environmental and design students to create a symbol that represented recycling. Student Gary Dean Anderson won the competition with his three arrows, representing the Earth's finite resources and the need to preserve and renew them for future generations. The arrows are green because it is the color of nature.
8. Skull and bones. This notorious symbol, consisting of a human skull and two bones stacked underneath, originated in the medieval era when it was used to represent death. It was later adopted by the pirates, who put this symbol on their flags. Today, it is used as a warning label on containers of poisonous or dangerous substances.
9. Symbol of the heart. Today, the heart symbol symbolizes love, emotions, and romance, but in the past, it had a completely different meaning. For example, in ancient Greece, the shape of the heart was the symbol for silphium, a plant that the ancient Greeks used to flavor food, as a medicine, and also as a birth control.
10. Symbol of radiation. The symbol is used to identify radioactive sources, containers for radioactive materials, and areas where radioactive materials are stored. The symbol was created in 1946.
11. Victoria. The gesture has different meanings, depending on the cultural context. It can represent both peace, victory, success or approval, but also contempt and defiance.
12. Swastika. In the modern world, the swastika is now synonymous with fascism because it was the symbol used by Nazi Germany. However, the swastika has actually been known for thousands of years and its original meaning was a symbol of good luck. For example, in the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit, the swastika means "well-being." The symbol has been used for thousands of years by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains and was considered a purely Indian sign. Whether this ancient sign will be able to get rid of modern associations is a big question.
13. Crescent. Although the crescent is a very common symbol in Islamic iconography, it is not actually Islamic in origin. The symbol has been used in Christian art for many centuries.
14. Checkmark. A check mark is used to indicate that something is correct, checked, or completed. Today, the check mark is widely used in many parts of the world, but its origins are believed to date back to the Roman era. Then "V" was used to shorten the word "veritas", which means "true" - the truth.
15. Bluetooth symbol. The Bluetooth symbol is associated with the ancient Danish ruler Harald Blathand, who was nicknamed "the blue tooth" for his love of blueberries. The symbol representing Bluetooth technology is a combination of two Scandinavian runes: "Hagall" (analogue of the Latin "H") and "Bjarkan" (the equivalent of the Latin "B"), which form the initials of the king's name.
16. Power symbol. The famous power on/off symbol is the result of a logical evolution in user interface design. Initially, most of the early power controls were switches between "On" and "Off". These abbreviations were then replaced with the numbers 1 and 0. To create the power button symbol, the symbols "1" and "0" were superimposed on top of each other.
17. Pink ribbon. The pink ribbon has been the international symbol of breast cancer awareness since 1979. The pink ribbon represents the health, vitality and empowerment of women.
18. Symbol of availability. With a blue square and a stylized image of a person using a wheelchair, the symbol of accessibility has become one of the most recognizable symbols in the world. The symbol was designed by Danish design student Suzanne Kefoed in 1968.
19. Exit sign. Another easily recognizable international symbol is the exit sign, which indicates the location of the nearest emergency exit in the event of a fire or other emergency. The symbol was designed in the late 1970s by a Japanese designer named Yukio Ota and adopted for international use in 1985. Green represents safety, and like traffic lights, it says go.
A trademark symbol indicates that the previous word or symbol is a registered trademark.
21. Hammer and sickle. The hammer and sickle was one of the most recognizable symbols of Soviet power. The hammer and sickle signify the workers' and peasants' union: the hammer is the traditional symbol of the proletariat, and the sickle is the traditional symbol for the peasantry. However, in European religious symbolism, the hammer is also associated with aggressive male power, and the sickle with death.
22. Staff of Asclepius. The Staff of Asclepius is a symbol associated with medicine and healthcare. The son of the god Apollo and the princess Koronis, Asclepius was the Greek demigod of medicine. According to mythology, he could heal the sick and bring the dead back to life. The staff of Asclepius is wrapped in a snake because the ancient Greeks viewed snakes as sacred animals and used them in healing rituals.
23. Maltese cross. The Maltese Cross is the symbol most commonly associated with the Knights of Malta who ruled the Maltese Islands between 1530 and 1798. Its eight angles signify the eight obligations of knights, namely "to live in truth, to have faith, to repent of one's sins, to show humility, to love justice, to be merciful, to be sincere, to endure persecution."
Modern symbols can tell more about a person, a group of people, an organization, or even a religion and political ideology than a thousand words. Sometimes one gesture is enough to express your emotions and attitude to the subject. However, most recognizable symbols and gestures have lost their original meaning, and today not everyone knows about it.
1. Raised fist
In modern times, the raised fist symbolizes solidarity and socialism, as well as unity, strength and defiance. The symbol dates back to ancient Assyria, where it represented resistance to violent action.
2. Mistletoe
Every December, many people around the world decorate their homes with mistletoe sprigs and kiss under them. The original meaning of this plant, however, had nothing to do with kissing or hugging. In Old Norse myth, where mistletoe was originally mentioned, it was considered a symbol of ritual castration.
3. Sign of infinity
In modern times, the infinity symbol has become a common mathematical sign denoting the infinity of numbers, time or space, but its original meaning has nothing to do with its modern use. In ancient India and Tibet, it represented perfection, dualism, and the union between man and woman.
4. Ankh
The ankh became popular in the West when it was used by New Age mystical groups in the 60s and 70s, but the symbol has been around for thousands of years. It comes from ancient Egypt, where it was a hieroglyph symbolizing life. In other sources, it is considered the key to the Nile.
5. Trident
The origin of the symbol, also known as the "devil's pitchfork", has nothing to do with Satan. It originally appeared in ancient Greece, where the trident was considered a sacred symbol and weapon of Poseidon, the god of the sea.
6. Mudras (gestures)
Although it may sound ridiculous, many people in the United States today believe that some of the mudras originated in American ghettos and represent the symbols of certain gangs. Of course, the original mudras have nothing to do with violence or gangs and originated in India, where they symbolized peace, harmony, good mental health and other good things.
7. Lightning
Another symbol that many people mistakenly associate solely with Nazism is the double lightning symbol, which was the official symbol of the Waffen-SS. The history of lightning, however, goes back to ancient Greece, where people considered it a symbol of divine power and Zeus's punishment of those who defied the gods or offended others.
8. Salute with two fingers
The two-finger salute should not be confused with the V (victory) sign. Although it's not the most popular way to greet someone today, some people still use it, mostly instinctively. Regardless of how the symbol is viewed today, the salute dates back to ancient Rome, where defeated gladiators used it to beg for mercy from spectators.
9. Phoenix
Also known as the Reichsadler, or "imperial eagle", this symbol comes from the eagle standard used by Roman emperors. In modern times, the symbol is almost exclusively associated with Nazi ideology, Hitler and the Third Reich.
10. Double-headed eagle
The double-headed eagle is a symbol that most people mistakenly associate with Russia, when in fact its origin goes back to the Byzantine Empire. Used as the dynastic emblem of the Greek dynasty of Palaiologos (the last emperors of Byzantium), the double-headed eagle became the symbol of Greek Orthodoxy. Later it was borrowed by other Orthodox nations (for example, Russia).
11. Iron Cross
The Iron Cross was originally a military order in Prussia, but during World War I it became a popular symbol in Germany and appeared on almost every German fighter and tank. A few years later, he became a symbol of fascism in France, and then in Portugal.
12. Caduceus
Today, people associate the caduceus with medicine. In origin, however, the caduceus, which depicts two snakes coiled around a winged staff, is the traditional symbol of the Greek god Hermes, the messenger god.
13. Devil's horns or "goat"
Most people think of rock music when they see the "devil's horn" gesture, but the history of this symbol began in ancient India. There, it was considered a gesture by which the Buddha cast out demons and eliminated diseases or negative thoughts.
14. Barber sign
Almost no one knows that the colors of the old-fashioned, almost iconic barbers sign (which is used throughout the West) were not chosen by chance. They symbolize the bloody legacy of the medieval period, when people went to the barbers not only to get a haircut or shave, but also to draw blood for other medical procedures. During the Middle Ages, bloodletting was a common treatment for a wide range of ailments.
15. Skull and crossbones
The skull and crossbones are primarily used today as a sign to warn of danger (usually associated with poisonous and deadly chemicals). This symbol dates back to the Middle Ages, where it was used as a symbol of absolute death.
16. Star of David
Since 1897, when this star was chosen as the central symbol of the flag at the First Zionist Congress, the Star of David has represented the Jewish and Zionist community throughout the world. However, in the third and fourth centuries AD, it was only a decorative architectural symbol in synagogues.
17. All-seeing eye
When most people see this symbol, they automatically think of the Masonic Brotherhood and its secret program to achieve world domination. The origin of the symbol is quite innocent: it was the eye of God, which should look after humanity and protect it.
18. Ichthys (Jesus fish)
The name "ichthys" comes from the Greek word for "fish", and the symbol consists of two intersecting arcs that look like a fish in profile. Many people associate ichthys with early Christianity because in Greek the word is an abbreviation for "Jesus Christ, Son of God and our Savior." In fact, the symbol was originally sacred among the pagans. The Greeks and Romans, before the Christians appropriated this symbol, considered ichthys to be an ancient symbol of the goddess of the sea, Atargatis.
19. Peace Sign
The sign, which everyone knows as the international symbol of peace, was designed in 1958 by a British designer and artist named Gerald Holt. It was originally the logo of the British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND).
20. The image of the heart
Symbol in the form of a heart.
The heart shape is a symbol that today is strictly associated with love, romance and Valentine's Day, but in ancient Greece, hearts had nothing to do with these things. It was the symbol of the silphium, a type of giant fennel that once grew on the coast of North Africa near the Greek colony of Cyrene. The ancient Greeks first used silphium to flavor food and as a medicine, and it later became the most popular form of birth control.
21. Gesture V (victory)
V is a gesture widely used by people nowadays to show their peaceful intentions or express victory. The origin of this sign, however, has nothing to do with peace or victory. It dates back to the Hundred Years War (1337-1453) when English archers used it to taunt their French enemies. In retaliation, whenever the French caught an English archer, they cut off the index and middle fingers of his right hand.
22. Pentagram
The pentagram is a simple, regular, star-shaped polygon and was considered an example of the golden ratio and architectural perfection in ancient Greece. Currently, unfortunately, most people believe that the pentagram is an evil symbol and is used only in black magic.
23. Thumb
Although the meaning of the "thumbs up" symbol is still debated by historians, some sources claim that it has its origins in Roman gladiators. Roman crowds used this gesture with their hand (raised their thumb up or down) at the end of the battle, they pass their verdict: whether the defeated gladiator will live or he needs to die.
24. Middle finger
There is probably no need to explain the meaning of this gesture. The origin of this symbol dates back to ancient Greece. Although the gesture was not perceived as offensive or hostile as it is today, it was associated with sexual intercourse and fertility as it represented the phallus (a sacred object that looked like an erect penis).
25. Swastika
In most Western countries, the swastika is synonymous with Nazism, fascism and racism, but in reality it is a symbol of good luck and prosperity. The swastika has been a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism and other Eurasian religions for the past twelve thousand years.
In 1958, British artist and activist Gerald Holt provided an emblem for the campaign for nuclear disarmament. They say that the peasant with raised hands from Goya's painting "The Third of May 1808" became the prototype of this symbol. One way or another, but this symbol has become a real meme. However, today, in addition to the symbol of peace, invented by Holt, there are a number of other symbols that are associated with peace in many countries.
1. Olive branch
The use of the olive branch as a symbol of peace and the end of conflict dates back to ancient Greece, where crowns of olive branches were worn by brides and also given as gifts to Olympic winners. In Greek mythology, the god of the sea, Poseidon, once argued with the goddess of wisdom, Athena, for power over Attica. Poseidon threw his trident into the ground and a well with ocean water arose in that place.
Athena threw her spear into the ground, where an olive tree grew from it. People appreciated the tree more than the unlimited amount of undrinkable water, after which they began to worship Athena (hence the name of the city).
2. Dove
The Bible said that when the waters of the flood began to recede, Noah released a dove into the sky, which soon returned to the Ark with an olive leaf in its beak (this supposedly signaled that life had returned to the earth). Thanks to the biblical story, the dove has become a symbol of peace and holiness. This bird appears repeatedly in Judeo-Christian iconography, often depicted with a twig in its beak. The dove with an olive branch as a symbol of peace was probably adopted from the Middle East and the Mediterranean. And thanks to Picasso, the dove became a symbol of peace during the Cold War.
3. White poppy
After the end of the First World War, flowering poppies on battlefields and mass graves could be found throughout Europe. This flower is one of the vivid images of John McCrae's poem "In the Fields of Flanders". After the war, the Royal British Legion (a non-profit organization similar to the American Legion) essentially spawned the tradition of wearing red poppies in a buttonhole, as well as laying wreaths of poppies on graves. In 1933, the Women's Anti-War Coalition began using white poppies for events related to commemoration and pacifism. White symbolizes the absence of bloodshed.
4. "V" - a symbol of victory
The “V” gesture with the middle and index fingers is pretty versatile. Douglas Ritchie (also known as "Colonel Britton") - a resistance fighter in the German-occupied territories - used this sign as a symbol of camaraderie and unity during World War II. It is the first letter of the French, Flemish and English words for victory (victoire, vrijheid and victory, respectively). British Prime Minister Winston Churchill celebrated the victory of the British with this gesture.
5. Paper crane
Little Japanese Sadako Sasaki was only 2 years old when the atomic bomb fell on Hiroshima. Because of the radiation, the girl developed leukemia. The last days the girl spent on folding paper cranes. Shortly before this, Sadako was told a legend that a person who folded 1000 cranes can make any wish that will certainly come true. But the girl did not have time. After stacking 644 paper cranes, she died in 1955 at the age of 12. Her story inspired the paper bird to be considered a symbol of peace in Japan.
6. Rainbow flag of the world
During the peace march in 1961, the philosopher and public figure Aldo Capitini sewed a flag from several colored stripes. This rainbow flag, which is usually written with the word PACE (Italian: Bandiera della Pace) to distinguish it from the flag of the LGBT community, soon began to be used throughout the country. In 2002, the peace flag experienced a resurgence during the second Gulf War.
7. Broken rifle
The London group "International Association of War Resisters" uses as its symbolism a rifle broken in two by hands. Today the WRI, which was founded in 1921, organizes peaceful demonstrations in more than 40 countries.
It is worth noting that creativity is present in everyday life. What are they worth.
