Russian language is interesting because it absorbs for centuries the culture of the peoples of various nationalities.All sorts of incomprehensible and inexplicable is in it.For example, there was the word "Hurrah!", Which plunged and frightens enemies, when the Russian army bravely stands up against them?A wonderful phrase "saryn on Kichko!"- What does she?And whence came the Russian language in such a strange expression?
Don Cossacks and "saryn on Kichko!"
Boris Diamonds - a descendant of the Don Cossacks, art and the famous bard - argues that "saryn on Kichko" is not nothing but a war cry from the Don Cossacks, who came to them from Polovtsian, or, in other words, Sarov.And as Don Russified population began much later, it was originally part of it was fairly mixed.And in most of the Cossack birth, called saryn, dominated by the remains of Polovtsian.
put this expression in this perspective, it is an example of the Polovtsian battle cry "of Sarah kichkou!" Which means "Polovtsi, forward!"Assuming that a modified Russian manner cry will sound like "saryn on Kichko!", A translation of this phrase in such a case will be identical - "Polovtsi, forward!".
Stepan Razin and his battle cry
militias known from historical sources that it was with these words into action warriors threw Stepan Razin.Boris Diamonds indicates that this was no accident.After all, he had his father Stёpka "busurmanskoy faith," but the more accurate data about his religion and nationality to our contemporaries have not reached.
Gradually cry "saryn on Kichko" lost its original meaning and was used simply to raise the people in the attack, just as the cry of "Hurrah!"provokes the attack on enemies.
Today it is still an expression continues to exist in some places, and completely forgotten, where are the roots of it.Just battle cry, which should rouse the fellow to lead them into battle, Kindle thirst fight the battle.
Victor Kopecky of the battle cry of the Don Cossacks
little differently says writer Victor Kopecky.Speaking on the topic, which means "to saryn Kichko!", He defines the word "saryn": derived from the "dirty" with the addition of the suffix "-yn" (examples: it is warm, wormwood), it acts as a synonym for "the poor", "poor"" servile "," black ".Later, the word "soryn" was written as "saryn."This explanation is confirmed by the dictionary Dahl.
"Kichko" by definition Koneckogo called nose swimming means - the vessel or barge.And as in the stern of the vessel is usually located the owner, who stored and values, then the robbers first tried to get it to her.In order not to spill the blood of excess, they allegedly gave the order: "saryn on Kichko!"Meaning it was explained as follows: "the poor, fast all over the nose of the launch! Do not disturb us fat loot!"
Unarmed haulers usually readily obey the commands as filibusters considered liberators who make justice - punishing the evil oppressors.
Of course, there are such unexpected situation where the poor and black, which was ordered to leave his "master" at the mercy of robbers, refused to obey.In such cases, disobedience punishable by a terrible death.That is, the cry of the robbers appeared as if in the role of a warning shot: if you want to survive - at Kichko, want death - defended his "fat"!
Oseeva heroine of the book in the "fight for truth"
interesting explains what it means "to saryn Kichko", the heroine of the novel Valentina Oseeva Dink.She argues that this is a magical spell from the enemy, and it is not clear how exactly is hidden a special power.And the one who shouts the word, is not only brave and fearless and invincible.
Because a girl rushes into battle for his friend with such despair and confidence - because she knows the magic power of a spell which she vehemently exclaims, striking enemies.She later tells his friend that nothing at all was afraid, and afraid something had nothing, because she had to shout magical miraculous words.And they were not just defeated himself Stenka Razin, restoring justice, taking from the rich unjustly acquired and freeing the poor boatmen from overwork.
In the eyes of a little girl Stepan Razin was a real folk hero, she had almost deified, idealized.Because it is so often the girl would sit alone on a cliff, which is named after Razin.And when she was especially tight, Dink fiercely clutched his little fists and whispered under his breath itself spell.And she was getting from this quiet, it originated in the soul confidence that truth will prevail.As she herself admitted, these words gave her amazing strength and confidence.Other options
explanation
There were other translations of this phraseologism.For example, some argue (unconfirmed) that saryn called one of the Mordovian tribes and Kichko called golden place.It follows that the cry had a sense of "fellow forward for the gold!"
In Russian literature the expression "saryn on Kichko!"used to make the speech figurative characters, brighter.For example, it resorted Shushkina, describing his hero Zakharych who used this expression to explain the revolution in Russia.
Alex Slapovsky argues that this cry has lost the original meaning inherent in it, turned into "something masculine, manly, strong, fierce and robbery."
Chukovskij about language and Turkic influence on him
Chukovskij bitterly lamented the fact that the Asian shout rudely interrupted the process of formation of Russian culture.As if the Russian language is impossible without the Turkish, Greek, Hebrew, Indian roots ... as we would have liked, but to isolate it from the Russians infusion into it of foreign words and expressions will not succeed.And so out of this situation only one: dig up the roots, to know the etymology of certain words and phraseology to make them use the most appropriate, correct.A separate, isolate the Russian language from the influence of other languages - it is impossible, thankless and even harmful.
