To study the history of the phrase "Proletarians of all countries, unite", it is necessary to understand the meaning of the words "proletarian" or "proletariat".
According to history, the word "proletarian" hasLatin roots: proletarius. It means "producing offspring." The poor citizens of Rome, describing their property, wrote the word "children" - "proles". That is, they, except for children, had no other wealth. So the word was fixed meaning: poor, poor, poor. In V. Dahl's dictionary, the term is described even more strictly: "homeless or landless, homeless zahrebnik". Sounds, at least, insulting.
During the time of the Great Revolution, the French have already begun to use the term proletariat, denoting by it all idle people who freely live their lives, they are not worried about tomorrow.
F.Engels, one of the founders of the Marxist theory, in 1847 "ennobled" the term, gave it a new political direction, derived a new semantic content. In the interpretation of Engels, the proletarian became an honest worker, a worker, ready to sell his strength, but not having the material basis for his own business. Since then, the meaning of the word "proletariat" has remained unchanged; during the time of the Great October Socialist Revolution in Russia, it sounded proud. And during the existence of the USSR was on hearing and in sight of all Soviet citizens.
Who said "Workers of all countries, unite" for the first time? Let's understand this question.
Working together on the writing of the "Manifestoof the Communist Party, "K. Marx and F. Engels put in the slogan there, which later became the nation-wide:" Proletarians of all countries, unite! "
How to speak correctly? "Proletarians of all countries, unite?" or "unite?". In German, the word vereinigt means "unite", "unite". That is, you can say both versions of the translation.
So, there are two options for ending the Marxist appeal: "unite" and "unite."
The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was a multinational state, uniting in its membership 15 friendly territories.
As early as 1920, a call appeared, looking toEast, in order to bring together, unite the peoples previously subjected to oppression. V.I. Lenin - the leader of the Country of the Soviets - agreed with his wording and considered the call for unity to be true, since it corresponded to the political vectors of the state. Thus, the slogan in its usual form began to materialize.
Multinational State - Union of SovietThe Socialist Republics were, in their essence, the result of unification. The friendliness of fraternal peoples, united by a single goal - the building of socialism and communism, was a special pride of the Land of the Soviets. This political action became an example and confirmation of the vitality of the theory of Marxism.
It so happened that after the October Revolution,Soviet times, the slogan "Proletarians of all countries and oppressed peoples, unite!" declined, "oppressed peoples" fell out of it, a shortened version remained. It fits well with the concept of public policy, thereby deserving its popularization. The Government of the Land of the Soviets has decided on state symbols. They became: the sun, sickle and hammer, in addition to them - the proletarian slogan.
Герб СССР состоял из символов, а текст был written in the languages of territorial units that were part of the state. Moreover, the number grew since six (1923 - 1936). After them there were already eleven (1937-1940), and even later - already fifteen (1956).
The republics, in turn, also had a coat of arms with the slogan from the famous manifesto, both in the language of the autonomous territory (Republic) and in Russian.

USSR citizens are used to seeing usThe motto is everywhere - on a variety of stands and posters. Often people had to carry banners with text in demonstrations in their hands. Such marches were held regularly on May 1 (International Workers' Day), November 7 (the day of the October Revolution). After the collapse of the USSR, these parades were abolished.
"Объединительный" текст печатали на партбилетах (covers), he was regularly placed in the cap of any print media related to politics and state historical topics. And the newspaper "Izvestia" differed from the others - the above-mentioned text allowed herself to portray in all languages (republics that were part of the USSR).
All beloved phrase shone on the Order of the Red Star. The Order of the Red Banner of Labor also received a similar honor.
The medal "Proletarians of all countries, unite" was released.
On the memorial insignia of the Red Army depicted the leader - V. I. Lenin and the banner with the text of the union of the proletariat.
Affected this phenomenon and finances. The same inscription was cast on fifty dollars (1924) and placed on money notes (one gold piece).
