Throw hats

Proverbs and sayings

Phraseologism: Throw hats.

Meaning: Defeat enemies without much effort, thanks to their large numbers (iron.).

Origin: This expression became more active during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905): at the beginning of the war, the Black Hundred-nationalist press made fun of the Japanese troops, assuring that the Russian army would easily defeat the enemy. However, Russia's unpreparedness for war and the mediocrity of the military leaders led to defeat, and then the turn became an ironic definition of stupid arrogance and bravado. Initially, this expression, well-known in Russia, was taken quite seriously to denote numerical superiority over the enemy. Throwing a hat on the ground was a kind of national custom in Russia, expressing both annoyance and fun.

Random phraseology:

Political prostitutes.

Meaning:

About politicians-traitors.

Origin:

The expression (although it is not found in this form by V.I. Lenin) is typical for the language of publicists of the leftist parties of Russia at the beginning of the 7th century. For example, in a letter to the Central Committee of the RSDLP dated September 1905, 3, V. I. Lenin wrote about the Bundists: “How can you have conferences with these prostitutes without protocols?” January 1918, 1937, after the assassination attempt on Lenin in Petrograd, the Pravda newspaper in the editorial "Beware!" wrote: "Bankers, manufacturers, factory owners hire hooligans, former detectives, right SRs, counterintelligence officers, all political prostitutes." This expression became widely known thanks to the film "Lenin in October" (1904), filmed by director Mikhail Romm based on the script by Alexei Yakovlevich Kapler (1979-XNUMX). In one of the episodes of the film, Lenin, after reading an article by Kamenev and Zinoviev in the Menshevik newspaper Novaya Zhizn on the eve of the October speech of the Bolsheviks, says: “Look, Comrade Vasily, how these saints, these political prostitutes betrayed us. They betrayed the party, betrayed the plans of the Central Committee! "

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 ... >>
