Since ancient times, people attach great importancecolors. Today you can hear in the evenings how women discuss clothes - who has what color? Someone comes to the eyes, someone slims, someone fills. Remember the chivalrous novels, they describe in great detail the coats of arms of barons, dukes, what color is made. Paints indicate social status, nationality, wealth, merit. Especially fond of red or purple, it meant royalty. And what does red color symbolize in Russia? We have red flags for the holiday, red lines and calendar days.
For some nations, the colors in clothes can bedetermine the caste of a person, coaches of personal growth assert that subconsciously we ourselves determine our caste affiliation and choose clothes according to it.

В России можно встретить тысячи толкований.Passion and energy are shown through the red color on the stage, crimson jackets meant young active people who can earn. The girl in the red dress automatically attracts attention, she is expected to receive energy and hot temper.

Russian flag
Everyone saw him, even those who live in anothercountry. Among the colors there is red. The colors on the flag of the Russian Federation are interpreted differently. There are various jokes that the name of the legendary organization of the KGB is ciphered in colors - red, blue, white. Officially, these colors are not interpreted anywhere. But there are at least three well-established opinions. According to the first, red means the statehood of our Fatherland, white means freedom and independence, and the blue color of Our Lady. In the second opinion, the colors of the flag signify the unity of the three branches of one people. Red means Great Russia, blue - Little Russia and white - Belarus. In the third opinion, red is, again, the energy, the power of the state and the blood that has been shed on numerous wars.
Color symbols are sometimes surprising.Red used to be the color of kings, but in the twentieth century it became the color of revolution, freedom and blood. Remember the flag of the October Revolution, it is red, and the blood for this flag flowed like a river. Again, I recall the anecdote, where Chapaev wore a red shirt, so that in the battle it was not visible blood.
Guard
What does the color red in Russia in the army, you canto say unequivocally - blood. Some military units have such an award as the Guards Flag. He is red and means the blood and life of the warriors of this unit, who carried out their task to the end. If you read the history of the Great Patriotic War, then the banner of the Guard was received not by subunits, but by their remnants after heavy fighting, leaving the encirclement, and restraining the enemy.
What does the color red mean for the military, you alreadygot it. A conscript, hitting the Guards Division, understands that there is something wrong. Officers, contract soldiers, and some conscripts wear a small red flag on their chest; near the marines, he is also depicted on the beret. In such troops, they are very proud of their history, and the newcomer begins to respect the armed forces and seeks to get the right to also wear a red flag on his chest. There were exceptions in history when the guards' banner was given to the newly-mined subunit, but mostly they were tank units from new modern cars, they quickly fell on the battlefield, and the tank crew did not long remain in debt for such an award.
Red color in armies of other countries
Now scarlet colors are used only in the frontform, in the field all the tone of the area. The symbols of the color of this for the military are unambiguous - again the blood and the decision to go to the end. The warriors of Carthage wore purple clothes before the battle, this did not save them from the omnipresent Rome, but added glory. The Spartans wore red cloaks, and they are remembered as such until now (for example, a film about three hundred Spartans, where they keep the defense of Thermopylae, and then fight the Persians at sea). In China, too, love this color, and they have units with the names of red warriors, red dragons, etc.
Eventually
What does red color symbolize in Russia?Yes, the same as in the whole world, except for the flowers of royalty. Perhaps the reason is that we have no kings for a long time, and the presidents prefer jackets of dark colors. It is unequivocal that this is the color of energy and life, and then there are divisions into the energy of the holiday, joy, beauty and rage, strength, and someone shed blood.
You’ll use scarlet in your clothes — notmarvel that people turn around, especially if you are a girl. Although the red lights are officially banned in Russia, everyone knows what they mean. No matter how psychologists say, red color causes not only irritation.
