Transfer to this category of military personnel for Soviet soldier meant the beginning of a fundamentally new stage in the service - "grandfathers" de jure became the uncrowned leaders of an army or navy unit.

Thread instead of a belt

“Grandfather” is a soldier who served for a year and a half. Army wits translated this word as an abbreviation of "Dembel's Going Home." The "grandfathers" must necessarily have "their" call of "spirits". As soon as newcomers came to the company, the process of transferring to "grandfathers" from "scoops" began. And if a soldier’s belt with a badge (and sometimes a real scoop taken from the kitchen) was initiated into “scoops”, then the transfer to “grandfathers” was a purely symbolic transitional rite.

In form, the transfer to “grandfathers” resembled the ritual “flogging” of candidates for “scoops”. True, there were significant differences. When transferred to the “scoops”, the soldier was beaten as many times as he had months left before demobilization. And they beat with a badge most often from the heart. The initiate could not sit for a long time. If the "scoop" uttered at least a sound during the execution, the translation was considered invalid.

The future "grandfather" lay on his stomach, a pillow was placed on his buttocks. They were beaten with a thread, and the “grandfather” had to yell at the top of his lungs (supposedly from pain). If the translation procedure went as expected, "grandfather" was considered "correct". Otherwise, the old-timer received the semi-contemptuous status of a “non-spontaneous” “grandfather”, at whom even “scoops” and “spirits” laughed.

Oil - "spirits"

The translated “grandfather” was supposed to confess “hundred days” (one hundred days before the order to dismiss his conscription). In the dining room, this was expressed in the fact that the “grandfathers” gave their oil to the “spirits”. At the same time, the “spirit” always said how much “grandfather” was left to serve. If the “young” made a mistake, he did not receive oil, instead he was “sold” with cuffs so that he would not be forgotten in the future. In different army and navy units of the USSR, this ritual was observed differently. In some places, he looked like this: “grandfather”, after receiving an answer about the rest of his service life, wrote this figure with a spoon handle on a sandwich and ate a piece of bread and butter. Then he cut off another centimeter from the tailor's meter, which was specially reserved for this occasion. This ritual meant that the “grandfather” had “a day passed”.

In some divisions of the Soviet army, “grandfathers” shaved their heads like “spirits” during the “stodnevka”.

When the evening verification took place, the “grandfather” called during the roll call said the number (the number of days before the “demobilization”) - “yak” for an old-timer was considered bad form.

“Paper” “grandfathers” were considered university graduates who were called up for a year (they served in the Soviet army for two years, and in the navy for three). According to army concepts, such a warrior should have received the status of "grandfather" after six months of service. They were drafted into the army until the age of 27, and if the age of a serviceman exceeded a quarter of a century, he was called "grandfather in kind." As a rule, the old-timers did not touch such people.

Garmash injured the "grandfather", and Nagiyev was beaten off by the kidneys

Hazing, which began to manifest itself in parts of the Soviet army and navy in the 60-70s of the twentieth century, was not everywhere, therefore, there was a strict hierarchy in terms of service, with the transfer of a soldier to one or another social level, depending on who served how long, in there were no separate Soviet military units.

Domestic celebrities who have gone through an army school most often mention this manifestation of hazing in passing or do not speak at all. For example, parodist Alexander Peskov said in an interview that during his service, “baptisms of fire” of “spirits” looked more like a game than bullying. But the actor Sergei Garmash in the army so marked the “grandfather” that he thundered into a disbat.

The most frank confessions about service in the Soviet army are the stories of actor Dmitry Nagiyev, replete with shocking details. Master of sports in sambo Nagiyev ended up in the unit where 60% of the natives served Central Asia plus Georgians and Azerbaijanis. Dmitry's sports training not only did not help him protect himself - according to famous actor and a TV presenter, he was often severely beaten precisely because of the desire to check what kind of sambo wrestler he was. From the army, according to Dmitry Nagiyev, he came with crumbled teeth and broken kidneys.

There was no question of any status "spirit" - "scoop" - "grandfather" in such units, where immigrants from the Central Asian and North Caucasian republics predominated - soldier groups were formed there according to the principle of compatriots. Russian soldiers, who were in the minority, served extremely hard in such units.

Soldiers in the army have their own hierarchy, their own unofficial ranks and career advancement. Growing up to the "grandfather" is not only to rewind the prescribed two years of service, but also to go through a whole series of rites and initiations: after all, even before dismissal, you can still remain a disenfranchised "spirit" if you do not follow the unwritten laws.

The first six months in the army of soldiers - absolutely no one. "Spirit" is incorporeal. Salaga. "Lace" ... True, successfully passed the "first baptism" can greatly facilitate the life of a recruit. In some parts, this rite is called "candle", in others - "enema". The essence of this test is the same: the fighters who swore allegiance to the Motherland during the day on the parade ground at night in the barracks hold a severe exam. With a pod of red pepper inserted between the buttocks, they should lie quietly all night. To "grandfathers" means not to wake up and not to disturb.

If in the morning the subject demonstrates an unextracted peppercorn and is able to walk, then he is awarded the title of "pepper". If he cannot or, God forbid, tries to feign, then he will remain a "spirit", whose destiny is to wash socks for "grandfathers" and fill other people's beds.

The second rite of initiation awaits the young soldier after six months of service: "grandfathers" solemnly transfer him to the category of "skull". Salaga is placed on a stool in the middle of the barracks or laid face down on the bed. They lower their pants and ... they just hit the soft spot with a soldier's badge. At the end of the ritual, the buttock turns into a solid hematoma with traces of twenty-four stars: the "grandfathers" beat with all their might - a year ago they themselves went through this test. Now the initiate acquires new rights and opportunities. He himself can scare the "spirits" and receives concessions from the elders.

Six months later, the "skull" becomes a "scoop" - in the same manner, but it receives half as many blows, and not with such force. They beat not with a badge, but with a ladle, dragged from the dining room in advance. They say that this tradition came from the fleet: the cook had assistants, whom he beat with a scoop just below the back for various offenses.

Having exchanged a year and a half of service, you become a "grandfather" - a barracks demigod. You can have fun with the young yourself from boredom: after all, the "grandfather" is not burdened with work and service. During the day he can sleep off in the supply room, and at night he can joke. For example, look at the "bicycle": a sleeping soldier is inserted between the toes of matches or pieces of cotton wool and set on fire. The poor fellow jerks his legs in pain, and the "grandfather" laughs: it looks like he is pedaling.

Even "grandfathers" like to "dry the crocodile." This is when the "spirit", catching hands and feet on the back of the bed, hangs over the merry fellow lying below. He can tickle and kick with his foot - the "crocodile" must hold on, no matter what. Otherwise, severe punishment awaits him. They can make a "moose" (the recruit brings his palms together on his forehead, and the "grandfather" beats him on the "horns"), they can "release a thrush" (they beat him in chest sometimes by foot). Some "grandfathers" force "spirits" to "watch TV". The soldier stands on half-bent legs, holding a stool in his outstretched arms, on which stands a three-liter jar of water. This is the "TV" (you still need to retell what is shown there). "Telecast" is designed for 5-10 minutes, but, as a rule, no one can stand more than three. And this is fraught with "elk" or "thrush" ...

There are also peaceful entertainments in the army. Most often they play "demobilization train". All night long, three young soldiers are courting the "grandfather", who is supposedly going home. One shakes the bunk, making the sound of train wheels clattering. The second runs around the bed with a flashlight and a branch, imitating the landscape flickering outside the window. The third plays the role of a conductor: straightens the blanket, fluffs up the pillow, brings tea and cigarettes, sings lullabies. If the "grandfather" is hot, then they fan him with a newspaper, if it's cold, they cover him with a blanket. In the morning, the passenger of the "demobilization train" is greeted with a bouquet of field daisies and with a cheerful song.

Sometimes the "grandfather" awakened by someone's snoring opens the "hunting season". One of the young soldiers is ordered to "kill the tiger". Armed with a pillow, the “hunter” sneaks up to the snorer with all precautions and with a loud cry beats his “weapon” on the head, after which he hides under the bed. A report follows from there: "Comrade "grandfather", "tiger" is killed. Allow me to go to sleep? .. "

IN tank troops"grandfathers" teach young people to drive "tanks" at night. "Spirits" crawl under the beds with a piece of a tank caterpillar - a truck - and amusingly buzz and rumble like a tank diesel engine. Sometimes they are forced to arrange "shooting" and "frontal attacks": from the outside it looks funny.

IN landing troops The game of "wrecked plane" is very popular. The "grandfather" lying on the bed of the lower tier is watching the "battlefield", the "airplane" itself is arranged on the upper one. Another recruit "shoots" from a stool at the upper tier: "Ta-ta-ta-ta ...". "Knocked down!" - shouts the "old man" and kicks the net with a mattress over his head. "Airplane" rapidly dives down and when it hits the floor, it loudly shouts: "Bang!" The stool gunner reports: "Comrade" grandfather "! The enemy plane was shot down on your orders. There are no losses among the personnel ..."

In some parts of the "laces" they are forced to work at night as "hairdressers" - to make fashionable hairstyles for lawns. "Hedgehog" must be strictly defined height, say, 2.3 centimeters. The soldiers arm themselves with rulers, scissors and combs: if you make a mistake, you can get a new task - to clean the parade ground with toothbrushes...

When 100 days remain before the demobilization order, the final dedication comes: the "grandfather" is transferred to the "demobilization". He is carefully placed on the bed and beaten six times in the causal place ... with a thread. Now, every evening after lights out, one of the young soldiers will climb onto the bedside table and crow from there to the entire barracks: "Demobilization has become a day shorter, to all" grandfathers " Good night" Soon "grandfathers" home - in ordinary life without military eccentricities.

2 Since the service in the army has become only one year, instead of two, perennial concepts, and the informal soldier hierarchy has changed somewhat. Therefore, now not all citizens will be able to answer about the current army realities .. Add us to your bookmarks so that you can return to us again. Today we will touch on a rather funny word from army life, this Scoop, which means you can read a little later.
However, before you continue, I would like to recommend you some sensible publications on the subject of the army. For example, what does blue splash mean; what does Shchmit mean, how to understand the word Smeared, what is Zalyot, etc.
So let's continue what does scoop mean decryption in the army?

Scoop(new for those who serve a year) - this is the name of those who served 150 days


Scoop(obsolete for those who served 2 years) - for honorary title the scoop had to last 12 months


Today in most military units The Russian Federation about hazing titles have an idea, but transitions from one to another are no longer accompanied by special rituals, as it was before.
Usually, soldiers simply verbally congratulate them on "getting" another hazing promotion.
Today we will talk about those of them that have survived to this day.

Smells

In the early days in the army, newcomers are not even perfumes, but only smells. If you think that after you have looked a large number of information in the form of serials and films of an army orientation, you automatically became spirits, then this is not correct.
Why are noobs called smells in the army? It is believed that these boys smell like mother's pancakes and pies, which they ate in civilian life.

However, the "smell" from the "demobilization" is practically no different, because the first one has one foot on a civilian, and the demobilization is almost there. Eventually " smell"The newcomer will be before the oath, which will be no later than 2 months.

Once you've settled into the military and finally sworn in, you become a spirit.

Spirits in the army

In the role of a spirit, a fighter stays from 60 to 100 days, during which he actively cleans up, and fulfills all the wishes of grandfathers and demobilized.

Elephants in the army

Finally the day comes when you become a person, namely " elephant". This significant event takes place after 100 days. Of course, you ask why "elephant"? What kind of joke is this? In fact, there is little funny here, as it turned out, this is an abbreviation that stands for " Soldier Loving Fucking Loads". As the name implies, during this period the fighter is engaged in active physical labor. The guys plow with all their might, repair old iron, carry things in warehouses, and you never know how to find work for an obedient workforce.

The initiation into elephants is rather soft, and is taken from the past "life". It is carried out simply, the old-timer does not hit the ass very hard with a badge, and only three times, which symbolizes the past three months.

Scoops in the army

This is a non-statutory title, each soldier receives after 150 days of tireless care for his homeland. It is worth noting that this type of title is not present in all parts, and sometimes grandfathers immediately follow the elephants.

grandfathers in the army

A fighter becomes a grandfather when all the old-timers who came to the call before you are fired from the unit. Just then, you straighten your shoulders, and walk proudly looking down at everyone. This period will actually be for you the longest time until the order comes for your transfer to the reserve.

Of course you ask how dedicate to grandfather? Usually, the ritual itself is carried out only with the consent of the old-timer himself, and consists in applying several blows to the soft spot with a chair. Their number is strictly regulated, and depends, as you probably guessed, on how many months a person spent in the army.

After the order for your dismissal to civilian life comes, you turn into a great and terrible demobilization.

Demobilization in the army

According to the tradition adopted decades ago, every self-respecting demobilization gets himself a personal "spirit". Nowadays, many do not smoke, but there is one small plus for smokers demobilized, or rather a tradition that brightens up the wait.
Every day, the personal spirit brings a cigarette to the demobilization officer and reports in all the form approved back in time immemorial- "Let me report how long the demobilization will serve." After that, the demobilization receives a cigarette, on which it is written how much he actually has left to serve. At this moment, his face begins to radiate with happiness, and he realizes that life is not so bad.

IN demobilization dedicate quite a fun process. It will require an ordinary thread, and several mattresses or pillows, after everything is prepared, the execution begins. The demobilization covers his soft spot with these personal protective equipment, and a specially trained person begins to whip the ass with a thread, through the mattress and pillows. At this time, the demobilization, or his attachment in the form of a personal spirit, begin to scream as if in pain.

Soldier ranks:

Smell- before the oath;

Spirit- if less than 100 days of service;

Elephant- from 100 days of service;

Scoop- from 150 days (sometimes this item is missing);

Grandfather- from 200 days;

Demobilization- from 265 days of service.

Today, old traditions are forever becoming a thing of the past, because serving one year is morally much easier than the previous two or three years. Navy. When the army of the Russian Federation finally becomes fully contractual, hazing and these
