Which zodiac sign is the most daring, find out if it's you. Swimming from the USSR: the most daring escape, which was silent for a long time

December 13, 1974 was the most daring and famous escape from the USSR. Oceanologist Stanislav Kurilov jumped overboard from a passenger ship in the Pacific Ocean and, having swum a distance of more than a hundred kilometers, reached the Philippine island.

By profession - an oceanographer, by nature - a romantic, by vocation - a citizen of the Universe, Slava Kurilov was banned from traveling abroad in the Soviet Union, but did not want to come to terms with this.

The steamship "Soviet Union" cruised the Pacific Ocean from Vladivostok to the equator and back. Due to the fact that for Soviet tourists a 20-day voyage took place without a single (!) Call at foreign ports, travelers did not need to issue visas. For Kurilov, who was restricted to travel abroad, participation in this cruise was the only way to break out of the borders of the USSR and try to carry out his plan to escape from this country. No one believed that it was possible to escape from the Soviet Union, no one except Kurilov.

The cruise ship, on which Stanislav Kurilov bought a tour, sailed from Vladivostok on December 8, 1974. He was the least equipped to escape. The sides were rounded at the bottom. These were tanks of the passive pitching calming system. In addition, this system included underwater metal wings about one and a half meters wide. So it was impossible to leave the ship by jumping from side to side. It was necessary to jump only in one place, behind, into the breaker behind the blades of the propeller. What Slava Kurilov did on the night of December 13, when the ship sailed about 100 kilometers west of the Philippine island of Siargao.

He swam 100 kilometers in a little less than three days. What made you survive? Due to your health? Or the ability to stay on the water is no worse than the mythical Ichthyander? Or did his willpower not allow him to get scared and go astray, get lost among the waves? Or did the right equipment help? I think it's all combined. And Slava Kurilov was also very lucky. The ancient Greeks would say that the great Poseidon fell in love with him. And the storm passed by, not covering the lone swimmer with huge waves. And for two days the sun almost did not show up because of the clouds, so that Slava was burned just a little. Swimming, he only barely touched a cluster of jellyfish, the touch of which caused paralysis. And the sharks, of which there are a lot in these parts, bypassed Glory. December 15, 1974 under the feet of Slava Kurilov was solid ground. Philippines in friendly relations they were not part of the Soviet Union and the fugitive was not given back.

A little later, in the USSR, where Kurilov lived for 38 years, a commission met on his escape, which decided to deprive him of his freedom for another 10 years, "for treason." But Slava Kurilov was no longer worried, he began to live and fulfill everything that he had dreamed of for many years - he studied the ocean, made trips and expeditions, including to the North Pole.

From Slava Kurilov's book "Alone in the Ocean":
« ... Just one jump separated me from this enticing beauty and freedom. But there was no point in even thinking about leaving the ship in full view of hundreds of eyes in broad daylight - the boat would be launched instantly. Night is the time of the fugitives! There are prison breaks at night..»

The human heart is born to be free - you just need to have the courage to hear his voice.

Stanislav Kurilov died on January 29, 1998 while diving on Lake Tiberias in Israel. Freeing together with a partner from fishing nets the equipment installed at the bottom, Kurilov got tangled in the nets and worked out all the air. He was buried in Jerusalem in a little-known cemetery of the German Templer community.

We hope that they will be of interest to those who will be born in the Land of the Soviets, and those who are much younger.

Faced with rudeness, you always want to answer the offender. In a fit of anger, we often do not control our feelings and emotions. This can lead to a number of negative consequences. The easiest outcome of them is a quarrel, and the most negative is a fight. But, you see, to suffer yourself and stoop to assault just because your interlocutor is in a bad mood is at least stupid.

The most correct thing in such a situation is to answer the offender calmly and confidently, but in such a way as to put the boor in his place. To do this tactfully, without spending extra effort and energy, there are special preparations - bold phrases.

Who is ham?

This is the aggressor, attacking and violating your personal boundaries. He tries to hurt the most sore spots and at the same time avoid revenge. Scientific evidence indicates that such a person is, in fact, a miserable person with low self-esteem who wants to assert himself at the expense of those offended or ridiculed by him. Here's what you need to know when faced with a boor. Understand and forgive, or even pity an insignificant person or answer with a witty phrase, smiling good-naturedly (not caustically!)

Examples of situations where anger cannot be contained

A decent-looking person who is a boor can be found at every turn today. Often the most common places of its deployment are the following:

1. Marketplaces. The favorite place of a bored, angry person is, of course, a market or a supermarket. In some cases, a pharmacy is popular. Firstly, you can go there as if on a tour and be indignant enough, studying the prices on the shelves. Secondly, knocking around in the crowd is also a nice thing for them. And all this, of course, is accompanied by unpleasant comments addressed to passers-by. By the way, shop assistants also like to be rude.

2. Public transport. The favorite place of all boors is the crowd. And where else can you enjoy the disturbances so much as in the crush of traffic during rush hour? There you pushed, here - you. And as a result, for example, we have a heatedly screaming woman who splashes out her anger on everyone who tries to argue with her. And God forbid you surpass her in this honed skill.

3. Polyclinic. The state institution, where one must definitely stand in line, also knows impudent people. It can be an insolent person who will try to sneak out of the queue. But then he will receive a good verbal thrashing from people waiting in line, among whom boors can also hide.

4. Places of study. Adolescence is famous for the "painful" growing up of children. How is it shown? Bold phrases addressed to teachers, bickering in the classroom at school, lyceums. Teenagers cannot give an objective assessment of what is happening. It seems to them that they already know everything, and adults are a little behind them. Unfortunately, rudeness and impudent phrases in the lessons of high school students are a completely common circumstance. The teacher can put the student in his place, having won authority in his eyes, or not pay attention to what "outgrows" itself.

Daring phrases and expressions: examples

• And it is true that we are all interested in discussing topics that do not concern us at all.
• From a person who is difficult to cheer, you should not expect good.
• I know that crooks succeed, not because of their own intelligence, as they believe, but because of the gullible people around. And to lie, just the mind is not needed. Being honest is a skill.

• What level of development, such and interests.
• You are so low in communication that, frankly, you are not even visible on the horizon.
• Please continue. When you say such things, I feel so smart.
• I'm sorry, but you can hear bad amber from your mouth.
• And can you bring a drum?
• With such tirades, you can only stand in the corner.
• If you are angry, then you yourself know that you are wrong.
• In this case, your emotions are not identified with the conclusions of your thinking.
• If you don't like me, I let you go underground.

Daring phrases for girls

If a girl does not want to communicate with a guy, but cannot get rid of his annoyingness, or vice versa - she is struggling with his rudeness, perhaps she should use some phrases.

For example:

• Your time in my life is over. Give your pass and get out.
• If you fell in love with me - it's your fault, all you can achieve is my smile.
• Dear, you are right - there has never been anyone like you, there is no more and there is no need.
• What should - I know, it is written in the Constitution. The rest - as I want.
• I'm doing great, so there's nothing to please you.
• Weren't you in the movie "Clowns"?
• I'm not picky, just the best is enough for me.

And what about guys?

Not only girls suffer from annoying boors. Let's look at some cheeky phrases for guys. They can use these statements in response to the rudeness of their peers:

• You are not beautiful enough to be rude to me.
• If you say that, then most likely you have a spare jaw in your pocket.
• Kiss me with a run, I'm standing behind a tree.
• Maybe you are the most beautiful girl in our area, but I'm also interested in communicating with smart ones.

So, the first foundation is laid. Now you know how to respond to rudeness. But in no case do not parry these statements in front of an innocent person. And then in the role of a boor you will find yourself.

Nothing surprises us in the 21st century. Transgender people, people with a non-traditional orientation, mixing of races - all this is accepted and has become the norm in developed countries. But the attitude towards people in polyamorous relationships is still ambiguous and sometimes negative.

What is the essence of polyamory?

The main idea of ​​semi-moria is the ability to openly be in a relationship with several people at the same time, and the participants must know about each other, be not against such an alliance and do without jealousy. It is important to distinguish polyamorous relationships from open relationships. In the latter, a person has the right to have sex with whomever he wants, and this does not affect the relationship between the two partners themselves. In polyamorous unions, you have to work more on yourself and communication - a person builds a close spiritual and physical contact not with one, but with several people at once. This requires a lot more patience, but as a result, a person receives exactly as much return as he wants.

History of polyamory

This kind of relationship is nothing new to people. Our ancestors, who lived about 8,000 years ago, practiced polyamory and saw nothing wrong with it. The more partners a man had, the greater the chance of leaving numerous offspring. American anthropologist Lewis Morgan, who studied the ancient Indians, came to the conclusion that their families were not "traditional". Friedrich Engels agreed with his idea in his book The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State.

But why then do people decide that permanent exclusive relationships are better than polyamorous ones? This could be due to the spread of genital infections; it is also much easier to watch over and protect a family of one wife and children than of several wives at once. Plus, it was more convenient to transfer the inheritance than to divide it into parts.

In addition, monogamous relationships were widely praised by 19th-century romantic writers as the greatest form of love and fidelity between people.

Polyamory Today

American scientist Terry Conley in his research came to several interesting conclusions:

1. People in polyamorous relationships have more friends than monogamous people. They are more likely to stay in touch with their exes.
2. Polyamorous people are much less likely to experience jealousy.
3. Polyamorous cheat less often and practice safer sex more often.

Even taking into account the positive aspects, society does not always accept this type of connection. Monogamous relationships have the status of the only correct and even holy ones in our country, and any deviation is perceived negatively. Research shows that people in monogamous relationships seem to be more successful and happy to outsiders.

Some scholars speak of a "crisis of monogamy" in the existing world - the divorce rate confirms that monogamy is no better than other forms of relationships.

But what about the law?

While polygamy - or the relationship of one person with several people, sometimes under duress - is prohibited by law and prosecuted (for example, throughout the Americas, China, Europe), polyamorous relationships are not so simple - they are voluntary.
They are not prosecuted by law, but if a person is already married, then a relationship with someone else is regarded as treason.

Some scholars and activists suggest first accepting polyamory as a type of sexual orientation, as was the case with LGBT people, and only then start thinking about the legal side of the issue. In any case, even the fact that polyamorous people began to “come out of the closet” and talk about their existence is already a sign of change.

There are people in our world who have never looked at their horoscope in their lives. But, there are no such who would not know what their zodiac sign is. But horoscopes always indicate true information about a person. Let's find out which of all the signs of the zodiac is considered the most daring.

Who is he?

When astrologers chose the most daring sign of the zodiac, they took into account many, important and not very criteria. And they found out that they are Scorpios, because they are characterized by such types of qualities as: insolence, rancor, jealousy, ruthlessness and many others. And this cannot be an accident, because Scorpio refers to the god of war - Mars, that is, a strong, quick-tempered sign. They always take what they need and achieve their goal, no matter what.

Each zodiac sign has its own negative aspects, for example:

Most astrologers believe that the most rude male zodiac sign is Libra. Because they are stubborn and simply unbearable. They also consider themselves perfect, and too often show their pride.

The most impudent zodiac sign of the weaker sex is Sagittarius. A woman who was born under this zodiac sign is quick-tempered, rude, frank. If a conflict has begun, she becomes cruel, and sometimes even merciless.

Aries are very stubborn, and do not like things to happen without their knowledge. These are real workaholics who work for the sake of work.

Taurus are considered egoists, they are also the most greedy. If Taurus gave you an expensive gift, know that you deserve it!

Lazy and arrogant - this is about Leo, they love themselves most of all. What can I say - King!
Cancerians are overly touchy, the most secretive of all the zodiac signs, you will never understand what they have in mind.

The most frivolous and capricious are Gemini.

And only Pisces do not have obvious negative qualities, but have absorbed a little from each sign. If you are a Pisces, congratulations!

Now you probably know what your zodiac sign is and all its negative character traits, so we hope this will help you get rid of them.
