3. Military salute. Chapter. Military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (Russian Armed Forces) and the relationship between them. Internal order. “Charter of the internal service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation” (UVS AF of Russia)
Military salute previously called - firework(for example, previously, when a ship arrived at a foreign port, with peaceful intentions or during an official visit of high-ranking foreign guests, a “salute of nations” was performed), salute, salutation. In literature there is a word - Trump (Trumped), to indicate military greeting.
Origin story. Hypotheses
Origin of the ritual military greeting, some military historians and fiction writers associate it with a greeting in general, when a hunter (defender, warrior) raised his hand, empty of weapons, to greet his fellow tribesmen. Ancient engravings preserve the memory of bygone times, when military salute It was performed with both the right and left hands, as well as with both hands at the same time.
Origin from raising the visor
Origin of the ritual military greeting, other military historians and fiction writers associate it with medieval knights. Allegedly, to show their nobility in the face of the enemy, the knights threw back the visor of their helmet. The characteristic movement of the hand formed the basis of the modern military greeting. Cavalrymen of heavy cavalry (knights, knights) in the Middle Ages wore helmets. Many helmets had visors or masks to protect the face. When riding oncoming, as a gesture showing peaceful intentions, the knight raised his visor or mask. He exposed his face so that the person he met could recognize him. This was done with the right hand, which also showed that the warrior was not ready to start a fight and did not have aggressive intentions. The gesture seemed to say “there is no weapon in my right hand.” Among peoples whose armed forces did not have heavy cavalry (Mongols, North American Indians), the salute is simply a demonstration of an open right palm. The equipment changed over time, and the gesture transformed into a fireworks.
This theory does not take into account the fact that all the knights had their own coats of arms on the shields, flags and clothes of their subordinates, and it was not difficult to find out who it was.
Romantic hypothesis
According to the romantic hypothesis, with such a gesture the knight covered his eyes from the dazzling beauty of the lady of his heart, who was watching his performances at knightly tournaments.
Derivation from holding the headdress when bowing
Military salute in different countries
In Western countries
In Western countries (which included the Russian Empire) salute was not and is not mutual military salute like a handshake, but is a symbolic gesture of respect. Actually salute(honors) or "hand salute"- This is a variation of other fireworks such as artillery or gun salutes.
I was walking down the street one day and saw Colonel Orlov, the newly appointed commander of the Peterhof Guards Uhlans, riding towards me. Knowing his passion for military bearing, I clearly told him saluted, and he just as clearly, and not brushing aside like some, answered me greetings.
Wherein salutation is not produced by humans. In republican countries (for example, in the US federation) salutation as a rule, it is produced in a uniform military uniform - one of the most important state symbols, second in importance only to the state flag - and is a gesture of mutual recognition and belonging to the same corporation, a symbol of mutual respect, therefore salute permitted only in uniform and only to a person in uniform (with the exception of the president, and so on, in accordance with the laws of a particular state).
Giving military honor soldier (Cossack): - If a soldier meets with a superior who is supposed to salute, then he must, 4 steps before the boss, place his right hand on the right side of the lower edge of his hat or cap so that the fingers are together, the palm is slightly turned outward, and the elbow is at shoulder height; at the same time look at the boss and follow him with your eyes. When the boss passes him by a step, then lower his hand.
When meeting with a boss who is supposed to salute standing in front, he, not reaching four steps from the boss, takes the last step with the leg to which he should turn (that is, if you need to turn to the right, then with the right foot, and if to the left, then with the left) and another full step or several less with the other leg, during the extension of which you should turn your shoulders and body in front and then, simultaneously with placing your foot, raise your right hand to the headdress, turning your head to the side of the boss. Saluting, you should stand according to the “stance” rules. When the boss passes him by a step, he turns in the direction he was going and, placing his remaining leg behind him, begins moving with his left leg, lowering his right hand with the first step.
The lower ranks salute, standing at the front: the Sovereign Emperor, the Empress and all Persons of the Imperial Family, all generals, admirals, the head of the garrison, their: regimental, squadron and hundred commanders, their staff officers, as well as banners and standards.
Without standing in front, but placing only your hand on the headdress,
salutes: - all headquarters and chief officers; military doctors; class officials of his regiment; reserve and retired generals, staff and chief officers, when they are in uniform; sub-ensigns, estandard cadets and sub-warrants; palace grenadiers; to all sergeants majors, sergeants and those commanding lower ranks to which they are subordinate; and privates, in addition, to all non-commissioned officers of their regiment, non-combatants of the senior rank and to all privates who have the Insignia of the Military Order.
If the lower rank comes with a gun or a naked saber, then for saluting he does not stand in front, but takes only four steps before the boss on his shoulder, turning his head towards him and following him with his eyes; then, when the boss passes him a step, he takes the gun or saber “freely.”
The lower rank, having some kind of burden, salutes according to the same rules; if the burden is large and both hands are occupied with it, then honor is given, following the boss with his eyes.
If a soldier stands still and his superior passes by, then the soldier saluting, must turn to face the boss; if the commander stands still and the soldier passes by, then the soldier salutes without stopping, but placing only his hand on the headdress. If a lower rank sees that the boss is overtaking him, then he salutes according to the same rules, standing in front where they should.
Honor is given and in the presence of a senior superior. If the boss, who has been put in front, gives a sign with his hand or says that saluting continued to walk, then he turns and walks, without lowering his arms, until he passes the boss.
Military personnel must not remove their headgear for greetings whoever it is.
If the lower rank rides on a muzzled (in Cossacks, bridle) horse, then for saluting does not stop in front, but takes the correct position, puts his right hand on the headdress and, turning his head to the boss, follows him with his eyes; and if with a pike, he takes it “in his hand.”
If the lower rank is riding a bridle horse (that is, the reins are in both hands), then for saluting He does not place his right hand on his headdress, but only turns his head towards the boss and follows him with his eyes. He does the same if he is driving a harnessed horse.If the lower rank leads the horse on the bit, then for saluting goes over to the side of the horse that is closer to the leader and takes both reins in the hand closest to the horse, right under its muzzle; and in the other hand he takes the ends of the reins and turns his head to the boss.
In the Red Army, RKKF and Red Guard
For greetings direct superiors are given the command “at attention”, “turn to the right (to the left, to the middle).” At this command, the military personnel take a drill stance, and unit commanders (and political instructors) at the same time put their hand to their headgear and do not lower it until the command “at ease” given by the person who gave the command “at attention”. After the command is given, the senior commander approaches the newcomer and, stopping three steps from him, reports for what purpose the unit was built. Example: “Comrade Corps Commander, the 4th Infantry Regiment has been built for inspector shooting. The regiment commander is Colonel Sergeev." In the same order welcomes direct superiors of a Red Army soldier, appointed senior over several other Red Army soldiers. His approximate report: “Comrade Lieutenant, the team of Red Army soldiers of the 2nd squad, assigned to work on the target yard, has been built. The team leader is Red Army soldier Vasiliev.”
At the meeting of the chairmen of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR and Union Republics, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR and Union Republics, the People's Commissar of Defense of the USSR and his deputies, the orchestra performs the anthem “Internationale”. When direct superiors meet - from the commander and military commissar of their unit and above - the orchestra performs a counter march. If the commander greets a unit or individual military personnel, they answer “hello.” To congratulations, the military unit (unit) responds with a drawn-out cry of “hurray,” and individual military personnel respond with “thank you.” In response to gratitude, the military unit and individual servicemen respond: “We serve (serve) the Soviet Union.” When saying goodbye, they say “goodbye.”

Many people probably know that they don’t put their hand on an empty head (without a headdress). You can learn about this in almost any war film. Where did the trump card come from among the military and why can't you put your hand on an empty head??
One of the most likely versions of trumping is this. Medieval knights, who were known to be professional soldiers, wore not only iron armor, but also the same helmets that completely covered their faces during battle. If the knight did not want to fight, that is, showed peaceful intentions, then he opened his face and raised his visor. This sign, when the hand is raised to the head, became the main symbol of the military when they showed respect or friendly feelings. When the need for knightly armor disappeared, the military raised their hand to remove the headdress or simply lift it (remember how gentlemen politely raise their hats when meeting each other).
Later, when the headdresses of most armies of the world became bulky and pretentious, it became problematic to remove or raise them (shakos, caps with cockades, hats). And the military’s hands were not always able to lift colorful hats without damaging or getting dirty. Their hands were covered in oil, dirt or soot, so the soldiers, and then the officers, simply began to make a symbolic movement to the temple, supposedly demonstrating the removal of their caps.
Now about why you can’t put your hand on an empty head
First of all, it's pointless. Raise your hand to remove a headdress that is not there? This is nonsense, given the history of the origin of trumping.
But there is a more important reason, which is especially important for the Russian army (and the armies of some countries). By placing his hand on an empty head, the soldier, instead of expressing his respect and submission to the commander, actually insults him. In general, appearing in front of the commander without a headdress is already a violation of the regulations, which speaks volumes about saluting. Soldiers (and other military personnel) can be without a headdress (and without a military uniform) while sleeping, eating, worshiping, etc., that is, in “secular” life.
The third reason why you cannot salute without military equipment (cap, cap) is that this is directly written in the Charter of the Armed Forces. “The right hand should be placed on the headdress, and the left hand should be lowered along the seams.” That is, in other cases you cannot apply your hand.
By the way, in most armies there is no such rule; for example, the American military puts their hand to an empty head.
The question arises: why exactly did this tradition “survive” in the Russian army - to salute only in a headdress? After all, we didn’t have knights. Some military historians suggest that the raising of the hand may have arisen from a desire to get a better look at the enemy. We all still do it, raise our palms to our eyes to see something.
