Conclusion
As a result of my small research on the topic “Russia - My Motherland,” I learned a lot of new things about our country. I saw how vast, diverse, beautiful and interesting our Russia is. I will definitely be traveling a lot. I will continue to study the peculiarities of our country. I really want to learn as much as possible about our great country, Russia. I consider myself a patriot of my Fatherland.
Patriotism is an important moral quality that manifests itself in love for the small Motherland and the country as a whole. Without patriotism, a person will not respect the Motherland, society and his loved ones.

Collective work “Russia is my Motherland!” Master Class
Let's remember the words from the song:
“For me, Russia is white birches ,
For me , Russia is morning dew .
For me, Russia , you are the most precious thing,
How much you look like my mother.”
In preparation for the upcoming holiday, the guys and I decided to do the following work :
For a Russian person there is no tree dearer and dearer than the birch. Ask anyone, is there a tree in Russia to which poets would devote so many poems, and people - songs? Perhaps this is because the white birch tree evokes in us feelings consonant with the generous and responsive Russian soul!
The sun warmed the slopes a little and it became warmer in the forest,
The birch tree hung its green braids from its thin branches.
All dressed in a white dress, earrings, lace foliage
She meets the hot summer at the edge of the forest.
We talked a lot about this with the children, so we decided to depict in our work a hot, gentle sun, a stunningly slender birch tree and many, many bright fragrant flowers. We started our work , of course, by creating a background. For the main background we used beige corrugated paper, and for the future flowering meadow we used green:
First we decided to make flowers. The children chose the technique themselves, the general decision was made like this: from corrugated paper, cut into small rectangles (the corners are cut off, the parts are twisted in the middle, two petals are obtained at once, a flower is formed from 3 of them):
Already during the work , the idea came to make a flower meadow in the form of a tricolor. The middle was made of yellow paper.
And then beautiful birch trees appeared in our picture: we made the crowns from green corrugated cardboard, and the trunks from white paper tubes.
How to make a craft on the theme of my homeland
And we will make a flag!
The first craft is made using the applique technique. Draw an outline of the flag on a piece of white paper. Then tear colored paper of red, blue, white and brown into small pieces. Glue the segments to the drawn sketch, thereby decorating the flag.
To make such a voluminous flag, you will need blank paper or corrugated paper. Cut the paper into small squares. Draw a silhouette of a flag on a piece of paper. Fill in the design with crumpled paper squares, securing them with glue.
You can make very cool and original flag-themed crafts if you use pasta as a material at hand. Pasta can be painted beautifully in any color, which means you can create a variety of images from it.
The fastest way to make a craft for Russian Flag Day is to draw a flag on a sheet of white paper with watercolors or gouache.
Three-dimensional flags can be made by gluing colored paper loops onto a rectangular sheet of cardboard.
A flag made from children's hands looks very unusual and original. Trace children's hands on colored paper or any other decorative paper, and then glue them to a sheet of thick cardboard.
A flag made of satin ribbons looks elegant and neat. Be sure to place your craft in a frame.
The flag can also be made from paper flowers glued to a sheet of Whatman paper. Add a couple of white doves to make the craft look even more impressive.
Any materials are suitable for making crafts. For example, you can use broken tiles.
Craftswomen will love the idea of making crafts on the theme of Russian Flag Day from shiny sequins.
Or maybe you know how to crochet or knit well? Then go for it!
Pieces of plasticine stuck to a sheet of cardboard create a voluminous and interesting craft.
Everyone knows the exquisite quilling technique. Why not use it when creating crafts on this topic. The finished work can become an independent panel or a decoration for a greeting card or poster.
Very beautiful and neat bead work.
And finally the most creative one – a cardboard puzzle. Draw a flag on rectangular cardboard using paints. And then cut it into pieces like a puzzle.

State symbols of Russia
The state symbols of any country include the coat of arms, flag and anthem. This triad did not arise immediately. It was only in the 20th century that a mandatory tradition was established throughout the world - each country to have its own coat of arms, flag and anthem.
Residents of different countries are rightfully proud of their symbols. The attitude towards the coat of arms, flag and anthem is the attitude towards the state itself. And it must be respectful. The symbols of our Motherland date back hundreds of years. The first state emblem appeared at the end of the 15th century, the first flag - in the 18th century, and the first anthem - in the 19th century. But more on that later.
Coat of arms of the Russian Federation
The word “coat of arms” came into Russian in the 16th – 17th centuries. It is based on the German erbe, which means “inheritance.” So the word itself contains one of the important features of the coat of arms - stability, constancy in use.
The state emblem testifies to the sovereignty of the country, the family coat of arms indicates that its owner belongs to a certain class. A coat of arms can indicate land holdings, like many family coats of arms of the Middle Ages, and serve as a means of identifying its owner. Therefore, the coat of arms, as a rule, is officially approved by the highest authority.
the emblem of the double-headed eagle in Russia come from ?
Initially, historians thought that Rus' borrowed it from Byzantium. As a sign of the imperial court, the double-headed eagle adorned the fabrics, clothing and shoes of emperors and courtiers. This emblem became especially popular under the emperors of the Palaiologos dynasty.
Perhaps the double-headed eagle was their family emblem. His image can be seen on the handwritten Gospel that belonged to Dmitry Paleologus. In Rome, the eagle has been revered since ancient times. According to legend, it was the eagle, this messenger of the gods, who predicted the acquisition of royal power by Tarquin the Ancient. The prevalence of the double-headed eagle emblem in the Balkans led scientists to believe that it was from this region that the eagle could have come to Rus'.
But, the most interesting thing is that the double-headed eagle was also found in Rus' itself, and long before 1497. The double-headed eagle was intended to symbolize the power and independence of our country. In this capacity, he continued his history on Russian soil.
In the 16th – 17th centuries. In the Moscow kingdom, two state seals were used - the Great and the Small. They differed in size, placement of emblems and inscriptions, but both retained images of a horseman and a double-headed eagle. On the Great State Seal, the rider was placed on the chest of a double-headed eagle. On the Small Seal, a horseman and an eagle were depicted on both sides.
At the end of the 1530s. the double-headed eagle acquired a more warlike appearance; they began to depict Him with open beaks and protruding tongues. In heraldry, such an emblem is called an armed eagle.
On the seal of False Dmitry I, the eagle is depicted with raised wings, and above its heads there are two crowns, between which there is a third, larger one. On the seals of Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich, the eagle's wings were lowered, and three crowns were placed above the eagle's heads.
In the first half of the 19th century. The image of the Russian coat of arms has changed again. Two types of state emblem arose. In the first, an eagle with outstretched wings held the Moscow coat of arms on its chest in a shield of an elegant, pointed upward shape.
A crown was placed above the eagle's heads. This eagle sometimes held a bunch of lightning bolts and a torch in its paws, and a laurel wreath in the other. The second type of coat of arms is an eagle with raised wings, crowned with three crowns. The shield with the Moscow coat of arms on his chest was framed by the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called.
And on the eagle’s wings there are 6 shields with the coats of arms of the most important lands, the names of which were included in the imperial title. The last change to the state emblem in the pre-revolutionary period took place in 1882 - 1883.
Alexander III accepted the Large, Middle and two Small coats of arms made by the artist A.I. Charlemagne. The presence of three types of state coat of arms is explained by the fact that they were depicted on seals that sealed documents of different significance.
The revival of the Russian state entailed the inevitable return of the original Russian symbols, so recklessly consigned to oblivion during the Soviet period. The history of the creation of the coat of arms is enormous. Symbols are nameless, they do not know their authorship, they are created by history itself.
In 1917, the eagle ceased to be the coat of arms of Russia. The return of the double-headed eagle to the coat of arms of Russia took place in 1993 by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated October 30, 1993. The author of the sketch of the coat of arms is the artist of the State Heraldry under the President of the Russian Federation E.I. Ukhnalev.
Flag of the Russian Federation
The Russian flag its birth to the Russian fleet. B 1667-1669 The first Russian flotilla was built in the village of Dedinovo on the Oka River. We had to choose a flag for the ship. The flag of a particular country showed that this ship belongs to it and is its territory. The flag served as an identification mark of the ship, and the state thereby indicated that the ship was under its protection.
By that time, the leading maritime powers already had their own flags. All of them were distinguished by a simple image and simple colors, since it was important that they were recognizable from afar. Usually the colors of the flag included two or three stripes. The colors of the stripes corresponded to the colors of the state or dynastic symbols of the country.
Anthem of the Russian Federation
The Russian national anthem - the official state symbol of Russia - is performed on the most solemn occasions, during official ceremonies of national importance.
Hymns as solemn cult chants originated in ancient times. In Russia, until the 17th century, ceremonies were accompanied by church chants.
Nationality in Russia
Russia is a state that unites
many nationalities .
The meaning of the concept “nationality” is belonging to a particular nation. Often countries are united by one nationality, for example, France, Latvia. Russia is a special country; more than 180 nations live in it according to common laws. Peoples are different in number. Some are only hundreds, others are millions. According to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, each citizen himself determines his nationality. It is determined by the parents. They also establish the language of communication, cultural traditions, and family values.
Patriotism of Russia
The word "patriot" comes from the Greek language. This was the name given to people born in the same place. In the ancient meaning, a patriot is the connecting principle of a person and the place where they were born, the community.
The place of birth is called differently:
- Homeland;
- Fatherland;
- Fatherland.
The words have a common root - father. That is, the Fatherland is the land where fathers (ancestors) live. Patriotism is a feeling that characterizes the attitude towards the place of one’s birth. A person cannot be born in different places, so it is logical that a person has one homeland.
Two words are often placed side by side:
- Homeland;
- Mother.
Our fatherland – our Motherland – Mother Russia. The concepts have a lot in common. It is difficult to answer why a person loves his mother and homeland. During the Great Patriotic War, the poster called for the defense of the country from fascism. “The Motherland is calling!” – the poster reflected the patriotism of the country’s inhabitants.
Patriotism is a special love. You can't just brag about your feelings for the country.
It is important to understand your role in the state and strive to be useful. In difficult times, a patriot will stand up for the defense of the Motherland without hesitation.
Russian citizenship
Not every person can be a patriot, but he is a citizen of his country. Social studies helps to understand the concepts: patriot, citizen, citizenship. What is a citizen is a person who has legal grounds to belong to a certain state.
Citizenship is the political and legal connection between a person and the country in which he lives. The connection is expressed in the rights and responsibilities of the state and the individual. If the child’s parents are citizens of Russia, then he becomes a Russian automatically.
No one has the right to deprive a person of Russian citizenship; no circumstances deprive this human right. These rights are enshrined in articles of the Constitution.
