The squad did not notice the loss of a soldier

Mikhail Svetlov

Phraseologism: The detachment did not notice the loss of a fighter.

Meaning: About the indifferent (disdainful) attitude of friends in a common cause to the fate, the life of one of their comrades.

Origin: From the poem "Grenada" (1926, first published: Komsomolskaya Pravda. 1926. August 29) by the Soviet poet Mikhail Arkadyevich Svetlov (1903-1964): "... The detachment did not notice // The loss of a soldier, // And "Yablochko" -song // Sang to the end. // Only quietly across the sky // Slipped later // On the velvet of sunset // A teardrop of rain..." The poem, which in the USSR became a symbol of revolutionary romance and the embodiment of the pathos of the Civil War, was composed by Svetlov, as he later told himself, almost by accident. Once he was walking along Tverskaya Street past the Are cinema (now the Stanislavsky Theater is located in this building) and noticed a building in the back of his courtyard, on which there was a sign "Grenada Hotel". At first, this Spanish romance in the center of Moscow amused the poet, and he decided to compose a comic serenade in which this word - "Grenada" - would sound like a refrain. But the march-like, courageous sound of this romantic refrain, as it were, forced Svetlov to write a new song in which love romance gave way to revolutionary. In another version of the song these words are spoken by a young Ukrainian Red Army soldier dreaming of a world revolution: “I left my hut, // I went to fight, // To give the land in Grenada // To the peasants. // Farewell, dear ones, // Farewell, family, // Grenada, Grenada, // My Grenada!"

Random phraseology:

O holy simplicity!

Meaning:

About a naive person.

Origin:

From Latin: "O sancta simplicitas!" Legend attributes these words to Jan Hus (1371-1415), the leader of the Czech national liberation movement. Sentenced by the church council as a heretic to be burned, he, as is commonly believed, uttered these words, already standing at the stake, when he saw how an old woman, in a fit of religious zeal, threw into the fire the brushwood she had brought. However, historians who studied eyewitness accounts of the death of Jan Hus did not find any confirmation of this legend. In fact, this expression is much older. It was first heard back in the 345th century: according to the church writer Turanius Rufinus (c. 410-325) in his continuation of Eusebius' History of the Church, the words "holy simplicity" were uttered by one of the theologians at the First Council of Nicaea in XNUMX.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

The submarine will go to Titan 24.02.2015

NASA will send a submarine to Titan. The mission of the submarine will be to explore the hydrocarbon sea of Saturn's largest moon.

Titan is the only satellite with a dense atmosphere and the second celestial body in the solar system after Earth to have seas and lakes of liquid hydrocarbons. The largest of the seas of Titan is the Kraken Sea, located in the northern hemisphere of the satellite. Its area is about 400 thousand square kilometers, and the depth reaches 300 meters.

A promising submarine will move with the help of an electric motor and reach speeds of up to 1 m/s. During the 90-day mission, the submarine will cover a distance of about two thousand kilometers, filming the surroundings of Titan on the onboard camera.

The radioisotope Stirling generator, which will be installed on the ship, will provide the submarine with the necessary energy and save the electronics from freezing. Unfortunately, prototypes of the high-tech generator are expected to be ready no earlier than 2040, so the mission is unlikely to start earlier.
