The most warlike peoples of the world. Nurmagomedov promised to crush McGregor in a head-to-head fight in the UFC About the Irish people

Any nation experiences a time of active wars and expansion. But there are tribes where militancy and cruelty are an integral part of their culture. These are ideal warriors without fear and morality.

The name of the New Zealand tribe "Maori" means "ordinary", although, in truth, there is nothing ordinary about them. Even Charles Darwin, who happened to meet them during his voyage on the Beagle, noted their cruelty, especially towards the whites (British), with whom they fought for territory during the Maori wars.

Maori are considered the indigenous people of New Zealand. Their ancestors sailed to the island approximately 2000-700 years ago from Eastern Polynesia. Before the arrival of the British in the middle of the 19th century, they had no serious enemies; they “entertained” themselves mainly through civil strife.

During this time, their unique customs, characteristic of many Polynesian tribes, developed. For example, they cut off the heads of captured enemies and ate their bodies - this is how, according to their beliefs, the enemy’s power passed to them. Unlike their neighbors - the Australian Aborigines - the Maori participated in two world wars.

It is known that during the First World War they used their Haka war dance to force the enemy to retreat during an offensive operation on the Gallipoli Peninsula. This ritual was accompanied by warlike cries, stomping and terrifying grimaces, which literally discouraged enemies and gave the Maori an advantage.

During the Second World War, the Maori themselves insisted on forming their own 28th battalion.

Another warlike people who also fought on the side of the British were the Nepalese Gurkhas. Back in colonial times, the British categorized them as one of the "most militant" peoples they encountered. According to them, the Gurkhas were distinguished by aggressiveness in battle, courage, self-sufficiency, physical strength and a low pain threshold. Among these proud warriors, even a friendly pat on the shoulder is considered an insult. The British themselves had to surrender under the pressure of the Gurkhas, armed only with knives.

It is not surprising that as early as 1815 a widespread campaign was launched to recruit Gurkha volunteers into the British army. Fearless warriors quickly gained fame as the best soldiers in the world.

They managed to take part in the suppression of the Sikh uprising, in the Afghan, First and Second World Wars, as well as in the Falklands conflict. Today, the Gurkhas are still the elite fighters of the British army. They are all recruited there – in Nepal. And I must say that the competition, according to the modernarmy portal, is crazy - 28,000 candidates are vying for 200 places.

The British themselves admit that the Gurkhas are better soldiers than themselves. Maybe because they are more motivated. Although the Nepalese themselves say, it’s not about money at all. They are proud of their martial art and are always happy to put it into action.

When some small peoples are actively integrating into the modern world, others prefer to preserve traditions, even if they are far from the values ​​of humanism.

For example, the Dayak tribe from the island of Kalimantan, who have earned a terrible reputation as headhunters. What can you say if, according to their traditions, you can become a man only by getting the head of your enemy. At least this was the case back in the 20th century. The Dayak people (Malay for “pagan”) are an ethnic group that unites numerous peoples inhabiting the island of Kalimantan in Indonesia.

Among them: Ibans, Kayans, Modangs, Segais, Trings, Inihings, Longwais, Longhat, Otnadom, Serai, Mardahik, Ulu-Ayer. Even today, some of them can only be reached by boat.

The bloodthirsty rituals of the Dayaks and the hunt for human heads were officially stopped in the 19th century, when the local sultanate asked the Englishman Charles Brooke from the dynasty of white rajahs to somehow influence the people, whose representatives do not know any other way to become a man except to cut off someone's head.

Having captured the most warlike leaders, through a policy of carrots and sticks, he seemed to be able to set the Dayaks on a peaceful path. But people continued to disappear without a trace. The last bloody wave swept across the island in 1997-1999, when all world agencies shouted about ritual cannibalism and the games of little Dayaks with human heads.

Among the peoples of Russia, one of the most warlike peoples are the Kalmyks, descendants of the Western Mongols. Their self-name translates as “breakaways”; Oirats means “those who did not convert to Islam.” Today, most of them live in the Republic of Kalmykia. Nomads are always more aggressive than farmers.

The ancestors of the Kalmyks, the Oirats, who lived in Dzungaria, were freedom-loving and warlike. Even Genghis Khan did not immediately manage to subjugate them, for which he demanded the complete destruction of one of the tribes. Later, the Oirat warriors became part of the army of the Mongol commander, and many of them became related to the Genghisids. Therefore, it is not without reason that some of the modern Kalmyks consider themselves descendants of Genghis Khan.

In the 17th century, the Oirats left Dzungaria and, having made a huge transition, reached the Volga steppes. In 1641, Russia recognized the Kalmyk Khanate, and from that time on, Kalmyks began to be constantly recruited into the Russian army. It is said that the battle cry "hurray" once came from the Kalmyk "uralan", meaning "forward". They especially distinguished themselves in the Patriotic War of 1812. Three Kalmyk regiments numbering more than three and a half thousand people took part in it. For the Battle of Borodino alone, more than 260 Kalmyks were awarded the highest orders of Russia.

The Kurds, along with the Arabs, Persians and Armenians, are one of the most ancient peoples of the Middle East. They live in the ethnogeographical region of Kurdistan, which after the First World War was divided between Türkiye, Iran, Iraq and Syria.

The Kurdish language, according to scientists, belongs to the Iranian group. In religious terms, they have no unity - among them there are Muslims, Jews and Christians. It is generally difficult for Kurds to come to an agreement with each other. Also Doctor of Medical Sciences E.V. Erikson noted in his work on ethnopsychology that the Kurds are a people merciless to the enemy and unreliable in friendship: “They respect only themselves and their elders. Their morality is generally very low, superstition is extremely high, and real religious feeling is extremely poorly developed. War is their direct innate need and absorbs all interests.”

It is difficult to judge how relevant this thesis, expressed at the beginning of the 20th century, is today. But the fact that they never lived under their own centralized power makes itself felt. According to Sandrine Alexy of the Kurdish University in Paris: “Every Kurd is a king on his own mountain. That’s why they quarrel with each other, conflicts arise often and easily.”

But for all their uncompromising attitude towards each other, the Kurds dream of a centralized state. Today, the “Kurdish issue” is one of the most pressing in the Middle East. Numerous unrest organized by the Kurds in order to achieve autonomy and unite into one state have continued since 1925. From 1992 to 1996, they fought a civil war in northern Iraq, and permanent protests still occur in Iran. In a word, the “question” hangs in the air. Now the only Kurdish state entity with broad autonomy is Iraqi Kurdistan.

Russians are the most aggressive people in the world. How else could the largest territory in the world appear? I don’t have the opportunity to make a comparison with the Zulus, but I think they would be in a lot of trouble if they lived next to us. This statement may cause a sharp protest in you - after all, Russians love to talk about themselves, how kind, meek and fluffy we are. However, the facts indicate the opposite. This feeling of aggression is especially acute when returning home from a trip abroad, especially from a Buddhist country. In many countries you can walk through a crowd of young people and not feel any aggression, and in most countries no one would ever think of being afraid of the police. In the Republic of Sri Lanka, traffic is completely crazy, but I have not seen any showdowns or accidents. It is also worth remembering that we managed to create one of the most brutal states in the world.
On Radio C, Anna Romanova presented the results of a survey of foreigners living in our country for at least two years. To the question: “What do you dislike most about Russia?”, the answer turned out to be: Teenagers, policemen, drivers.

Aggression is primarily directed at its own people (Vladimir Tarasov owns the phrase: Russians are a nation with increased intraspecific aggression). We are all one family, but very quarrelsome. The simplest and most obvious way to get rid of illusions is to watch the traffic and take a closer look at the dominant driving style. We have approximately 30 thousand people killed in road accidents every year (13 thousand people died in Afghanistan during the entire period of hostilities), for comparison - in France there are 300 people a year. Moreover, the better the roads, the more people die. Of course, you can blame everything here on the authorities, infidels and Freemasons, but rather this is a style of attitude towards oneself and others.

Somehow I came across an interesting, albeit amateurish, study of the behavior of our drivers on the road. Approximately 40% of drivers are law-abiding. 30% break the rules, but are sane, you can talk to them, you can convince them. Another 30% are scumbags, nothing works on them, it’s impossible to come to an agreement with them.
It seems to me that this relationship exists not only when driving a car. If you are driving down a one-way street and a car is coming towards you, try saying something to the driver.

Traces of aggression appear both in daily reports and in statistics. In Russia, 7,000 children die annually from assault by drunken and mentally unstable parents. And hundreds of thousands of children are fleeing their families. Every year, 15,000 women die from family fights with men. And 4,000 men are killed by women in such fights.
The level of violence in Russia, according to the World Health Organization rating, was the highest among the 53 countries in which the study was conducted. In our country, 15.85 out of 100 thousand young people die as a result of murder. Moreover, almost half of all those killed in Russia (in the age group from 10 to 29 years) died from knife wounds. Albania is in second place - 11.2 per 100 thousand people. Kazakhstan is in third place - 10.66 per 100 thousand inhabitants. The lowest mortality rate among adolescents and young people from violent causes is in Germany - 0.47 per 100 thousand inhabitants, Armenia - 0.5 and Austria - 0.54. This is stated in the report “Preventing weapon-related violence and crime among adolescents and young people” prepared by the WHO Regional Office for Europe. The study's authors believe that the most common reason for stabbings is interpersonal conflicts. It is noted that 9 out of 10 murders registered in Europe occur in the Russian Federation. http://news.mail.ru/incident/4474879/

When faced with a refusal or a ban, a significant part of Russians do not control themselves and are capable of anything. When getting involved in a showdown, you should always remember the likelihood that your opponent will take out a weapon.

A stowaway who jumped over a turnstile at Moscow's Yaroslavsky railway station injured a private security company employee who tried to detain him.
“At the moment of detention, the stowaway took out a traumatic pistol and opened fire. As a result, a private security company employee born in 1978 received a dangerous wound in the chest and was hospitalized.” When police officers arrived, the attacker was detained; he turned out to be a 32-year-old resident of the Moscow region.

“In a Moscow metro car, a quarrel arose between two groups of young people, during which the girl pulled out a knife and wounded four passengers - three men and one woman. The girl and her companion were detained, they are now in the police department, where they are being investigated and the issue of initiating a criminal case is being decided,” said a representative of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate.

According to a source in Moscow law enforcement agencies, on Saturday morning on the Garden Ring near Kursky Station, a traffic police officer stopped a foreign car to check documents, the driver of which was clearly showing signs of alcohol intoxication. “The man refused to undergo a medical examination and did not allow the traffic police officer to draw up a report on the administrative offense. After that, he hit the traffic inspector several times in the face, but was detained by the policeman’s colleagues,” the source said. The offender was taken to the Tagansky police station. The source also said that the detainee had documents identifying himself as an FSB officer.

Aggression is not only direct violence, aggression also manifests itself in a categorical inability to negotiate with each other, preventing each other from developing normally.
In New York, there are five city English-language newspapers, of which one, the NYT, is in fact national. At the same time, there are approximately 20 low-level Russian-language newspapers in the city. (Let me not compare the number of English- and Russian-speaking residents of the metropolis). In the nineties, eight television studios were organized and fought for the advertising budget in the Sverdlovsk region, at a time when in reality this budget was enough for the normal operation of two or three studios.

A common practice in the country is a situation where an employee, leaving a company, takes his client base with him, and the manager to whom you instructed to create an enterprise creates a similar one nearby. Most Russians do not strive to expand and continue what they have already begun, but to create their own again, making the same mistakes, stepping on the same rake.
The basis of aggression is our attitude towards each other. A foreign journalist who has worked in Russia for a long time says: “I never ask people in Russia for their opinion about their colleagues.” Abroad, we are not happy to meet our fellow citizens and avoid such meetings because we want to take a break from the manner of communication accepted at home. You can easily be labeled a bastard and a scumbag simply based on your job title or where you work.
The policeman goes to see his grandmother, who is waiting for the train. - So your basket is full of toadstools. You'll get poisoned! - No, son, don’t be afraid, I’m for sale! Do you think I'm telling lies? In the Sverdlovsk region there is the concept of “Sumziki” - red-headed mushrooms (as boletus mushrooms are called in the Urals), collected on the dumps of the Sredneuralsk copper smelter for sale; they are never wormy.

An aggressive style of behavior is inherent in all layers of society. Here is the text of the announcement at the entrance to the territory where the construction of an Orthodox church is underway: “For the stupid and for the cool - parking is prohibited here - entry to the construction site!” Aggression is all cases when a person does what is convenient for him, without caring about the convenience and safety of others: talking on the phone while driving, trying to jump the line.

The opposition is even more aggressive than the authorities - they are hungry, we must fight our way. She willingly spreads any unverified information, whipping up passions.

Our foreign policy is a continuation of our characteristics. Russia constantly aims to expand and conquer, being a constant source of tension in the world. We constantly oppose ourselves to the whole world and constantly try to measure ourselves with our biceps. Another thing is that blaming us for this is the same as blaming a cat for catching mice - this is our purpose.

Of course, constantly living in such conditions, people have developed some mechanisms to mitigate the problem. If in the Caucasus the way to restrain aggression is blood feud, then in Rus' it is complete forgiveness. It would seem that a person cannot be forgiven under any circumstances, but at some point they forgive and everything stops. Another well-known mechanism is addressing by first name and patronymic. In this case, two more people are invisibly present during communication, helping to keep the situation within limits.

The most aggressive people in the world

I once walked around the capital,

I accidentally hit two passers-by.

Vladimir Vysotsky

Russians are the most aggressive people in the world. How else could the largest territory in the world appear? I don’t have the opportunity to make a comparison with the Zulus, but I think they would be in a lot of trouble if they lived next to us. This statement may cause you to protest sharply - after all, we love to talk about ourselves, how kind, meek and fluffy we are. However, the facts indicate the opposite.

In many countries you can walk through a crowd of young people and not feel any aggression, and in most countries no one would even think of being afraid of the police. In the Republic of Sri Lanka, traffic is absolutely crazy, but there are no showdowns or accidents. We have the honor of creating one of the most brutal states in the world.

Aggression is primarily directed at one’s own people.

Vladimir Tarasov: Russians are a nation with increased intraspecific aggression.

We are all one family, but very quarrelsome . The simplest and most obvious way to get rid of illusions is to watch the traffic and take a closer look at the dominant driving style.

When faced with an insurmountable prohibition, a significant number of our fellow tribesmen simply fly into a rage and are capable of anything. When getting involved in a showdown, you should always remember the likelihood that your opponent will take out a weapon.

Abroad, we are not happy to meet our fellow citizens and try to avoid such meetings, because we want to take a break from the manner of communication adopted in our homeland. You can easily be declared a bastard and a scumbag just based on your position or place of work.

Oleg Kashin: There is truth and another important point uniting the Germans...<…>in general and in general in matters of life (doctor, school, butcher), Germans trust Germans most of all, while Russians trust other Russians just in the last place. We know our own.

Mikhail Babin: Rudeness is initially unpunished aggression and manifests itself in us more often than just aggression, precisely because of unpunishability. And this is not just aggression, this is the rapture of impunity for this aggression.

The policeman goes to the grandmother who is waiting for the train: “So your basket is full of toadstools. You’ll get poisoned!” - “No, son, don’t be afraid, I’m for sale!”

Do you think I'm telling lies? There is such a thing as “sumziki” - red-headed mushrooms (as boletus mushrooms are called in the Urals), collected on the dumps of the Sredneuralsk copper smelter for sale, they are never wormy .

a333r: If the state is powerless, the people take up the pitchforks. In full accordance with Art. 3 of the Constitution (“The bearer of sovereignty and the only source of power in the Russian Federation is its multinational people”).

Institute of Sociology RAS: When asked directly about the desire to “shoot everyone who makes life in the country the way it is,” 34% confirmed the presence of this desire. In 1995 there were 24% of these people, in 2008 - 16%. The number of those who never wanted to shoot anyone decreased from 54% in 2001 to 28% in 2011.

It's not about some innate qualities. The fact is that aggression is encouraged by Russian reality. If you start apologizing, you will be to blame everywhere. In our country, a pedestrian always lets a car pass. If you want to be successful, be aggressive. There is also a purely female version: War paint, 12 cm stilettos, tight clothes on weekdays and holidays, at work and in public places - isn’t this aggression?

The first natural reaction of a Russian person to any event is aggression. Not giving advice, helping or explaining is aggression. The optimal style is aggressive pressure at the beginning, checking the opponent “for lice”, then, if he passes the test, “reducing the momentum” and switching to a friendly conversation.

Of course, constantly living in such conditions, people have developed some mechanisms to mitigate the problem. If in the Caucasus the way to restrain aggression is blood feud, then in Rus' it is complete forgiveness. It would seem that a person cannot be forgiven under any circumstances, but at some point they forgive. The Russian person has an amnesty mechanism built into him - unmotivated forgiveness.

Another well-known mechanism is addressing by first name and patronymic. In this case, two more people are invisibly present during communication, helping to keep the situation within limits.
