Holy blood glory to the heroes zip5/5/2023 ![]() And what is wrong with respecting our o land, which was given to us by the Creator, so that we take care of it? It is possible that the roots of a modern” fascist” phrase are in fact of a pure religious origin. However, most people forget about the popular greetings among Christians, which literally sounds as “Glory to Jesus Christ! - Glory to God forever”. At the beginning of this publication, we have already mentioned the discrepancy in the dates. Recently, the rumors have come up that this is a literal translation from Hitler’s “Heil Hitler”. One can also find information that very similar phrases “Glory to Ukraine! - Hetman’s glory!” were used during the II Hetmanate of Pavlo Skoropadsky. The only difference with the present usage is that they are literally greeted each other with the phrases “Glory to Ukraine!” - “The glory of Cossacks!”. If we return to the question of the origin of the slogan, they say that it arose in the horse regiment of the Black Zaporizhians - the formation of the Army of Ukrainian National Republic during 1918–1920. Volodymyr believes that the popularization of this term today is a phenomenon that is quite obvious and understandable: modern Ukrainians feel descendants of glorious heroes who once fought for the Ukrainian state. In 2004, one could hear this slogan during the Orange Revolution. The next reminders of the slogan date back to the 90’s, when we received the relative freedom of speech and the ability to organize at least some public meetings and manifestations (before we have somehow forgotten what is it). Slogan “Glory to Ukraine!” was actively spread in 1940–50, when the insurgent movement was at the peak of its activity. The rebels thus transferred the memory of these brave fighters to future generations. ![]() The response “Glory to the heroes!” has become a testimony of deep respect for the people who gave their lives in struggle for their homeland. In the 1930’s, members of OUN (Organization of Ukrainian nationalists) began to use the greeting we all know today. They were used to greeting each other with the words “Glory to Ukraine!”, and the response was “Ukraine’s glory!” In his book, Yuri Horlis-Horsky writes that he heard this phrase from several rebels of the Kholodnyi Yar. According to historian Volodymyr Vyatrovich, the phrase “Glory to Ukraine” became a part of the Ukrainian vocabulary in the 1920s, which, by the way, was long before the Ukrainian Insurgent Army appeared (and before Hitler came to power too). ![]() Let’s start with the fact that two parts of the greeting appeared not at the same time. Some even consider it fascist, which is used only in “banderivska”, “nationalist” Western Ukraine.ĭue to the growing popularity of this statement, we have decided to search for the true roots of this slogan. Someone will cheerfully respond, “Heroyam slava!” ( Glory to the Heroes) yet other will pass by, muttering something with displeasure. However, the reaction to it may be different. Today it is no surprise to hear the phrase “Slava Ukraini!” ( Glory to Ukraine) in the streets. Slava Ukraini, heroyam slava! History of the slogan ![]()
