Great quote about the homeland!

In childhood, at school, in history lessons, I fell asleep: I was bored and not interested. Speaking of the Second World War, the teacher turned to numbers, diagrams, and showed maps with arrows. And only today I realized that real people were behind it: boys, girls younger than me, who fought for the Motherland, perished for it, for us today, for our life. Every year on May 9, my mother took me to the parade. I liked how the orders shine. Mom bought me balls. Everyone was smiling. Mom gave flowers. I just could not understand why this holiday was called with tears in my eyes. Now I understand everything - the Motherland is one, one for all time.

Did Hitler believe that he would fight the Stalinist regime? Fool! A naive fool who repeated the mistake of a much more talented person - Napoleon. He had to fight not with the regime, but with the People. The people who defended not the state, but the Motherland, the Fatherland. And when our people defend the Fatherland, they can be defeated only by destroying it in principle. Without exception. This is probably our greatest secret power. Such a Russia is a strange country. She can inflict a series of defeats, she can even win her military company, or maybe a whole war. But only as long as the state wages this war. As long as she, as Lenin would say, “does not outgrow” ... not only from the imperialist to the civilian, but from the ordinary war into the Patriotic War.
  This kind of war cannot be won from Russia. No cost.

Why a simple Russian landscape, why a walk in the summer in Russia, in the countryside through the fields, through the woods, in the evenings through the steppes, it sometimes led me to such a state that I lay on the ground in some exhaustion from the influx of love for nature, from those inexplicably sweet and the intoxicating sensations that the forest, steppe, river, village in the distance, a modest church inspired in me, in a word, everything that makes up a miserable Russian, dear landscape.

White Russia you are mine! White fog over the meadow. White on the lake of ice. And the clouds ponad Bug white flight. White-and-white mushroom baskets, white-white shoulders of birches, white-white with a reflection of blue drops of transparent growth. White Russia you are mine! White bird cherry blossoms, a white icy spring, a solemn cry over the Bialowieza Forest bison. Summer, summer in white daisies, white lightnings of May rains, pure, pure souls of your brave free people. White Russia you are mine!

Of course, I despise my fatherland from head to toe - but I am annoyed if a foreigner shares this feeling with me.

Take a handful of earth, feel it in your hands. We are all made of earth, this is our mother, this is ourselves.

Even the flowers in the homeland smell differently.

I like to repeat the names of the people! The soul becomes brighter from the words: dope grass, marsh marigold, goose onions, river hemlock. Ivan da Marya - nuptial inflorescences, spring clean-up, rank, succession, tatarnik - a red monument of the century when a horde robbed villages ... Immortelle - an eternal symbol of hope, violet-lyubka - a slender candle. We will drink from each name with living water, as if from a clean key. Fields, meadows, bogs are impassable - the beloved rumor has bypassed everything ... While the names of the people sound, our language lives on. And the homeland is alive.

What is the word "mine"? After all, it does not mean that which belongs to me, but that to which I belong, which encompasses my entire being.

Splinters. Blowing ... But our names are carved on it ...
