Examples of the use of the word guis in the literature.

peter van Jack wrote it out so skillfully and in detail that the figures - just like the rest of the depicted objects - seemed voluminous and seemed to protrude from the plane of the picture.

Apparently, Beatrice was drawn before, since, according to one document cited by Pigeon, van Jack for some time he was a court painter in Ostenburg.

In her soul they fought van Jack and memories that had nothing to do with the reason for her coming to Alvaro.

His whole appearance breathed dignity and nobility, and van Jack clearly deliberately emphasized this with a number of details.

If the van Jack, creating this picture, set out to highlight the figure of Duke Ferdinand of Ostenburg - to whom, no doubt, such an honor should have belonged to him due to his higher position - he should, according to the rules, place it at the point of the golden section, and not on the left side of the composition.

The history of flags is in many ways fascinating to learn. Therefore, you will probably be interested to know what a guis is, what its types and significance are on the ships of our country, and also to plunge a little into the world and domestic history of this naval standard.

What is guis

The word "guis" comes from the Netherlands. geus- "geuz", which was the name of the bow flag of the ships of the Geuzes, participants in the anti-Spanish revolution in Holland. Over time, it became a household name. Today, the ship of the Navy of Russia and other countries is called the bow of a ship, which, together with a naval, commercial or civil standard, speaks of the nationality of the ship.

The second name of the guis is the bowsprit flag, because at the beginning of its history it was raised on a bowsprit or a special flagpole, which is called the guisstok. Today, the guis can be seen on the forecastle of a ship. It is also currently mainly used by warships, but some countries allow guises for their civilian ships.

Another synonym for guis, which is relevant, however, not in all countries, is the fortress flag, since it is raised on coastal fortresses and other important objects on the coast. Guys is also called a parking flag, because it determines, by and large, moored ships, rather than ships on the move.

World history of guises

During the Middle Ages, guises spoke of the home port of a certain ship. The guis of the Prince of Orange, which was mentioned in 1572 when describing the capture of the town of Den Bril, the first liberated from the Spaniards, is considered the first bow flag. However, the characteristics of the guis have not been preserved - there is an assumption that its appearance copied the flag of the House of Orange - orange, white and blue equal horizontal stripes.

One of the most famous guises was the bowsprit flag of the union of England and Scotland, which adorned ships in 1634-1707. The symbolism of the English flag of St. George (a red cross on a pure white background) was superimposed on the symbolism of the Scottish flag of St. Andrew (a white inverted "X" on a blue background). Guys in some ways became the prototype of the future flag of Great Britain. It was supposed to flutter only on warships, which is why the gez was nicknamed the "Union Jack" ("Union Guys"); merchant ships had the right to have only the flag of St. Andrew or St. George, depending on belonging to the country participating in the union.

Now we will smoothly move on to the history of the guis of the Russian Navy, first of all, having familiarized ourselves with its origin.

Origin of Russian guis

In the Russian Empire, guis appeared in 1658 - after Peter the Great visited the Kingdom of England during the Great Embassy. The flag was supposed to symbolize the power and greatness of the young Russian fleet, therefore its appearance was chosen in the likeness of the guis of the most powerful maritime union - Britain and Scotland, which we examined in detail above.

On the Russian guis, unlike the symbol of the union, the cross of St. Andrew the First-Called dominated the cross of St. George, and not vice versa. This was done because it was from St. Andrew, according to Peter, that Rus' received baptism. Also, this cross had a symbolic meaning - at the time of the creation of the guis, the state already had access to four seas. That is why the first Russian Order of St. Andrew the First-Called was approved in the form of the same four-sided oblique cross.

The use of this bow flag, which became the prototype of the modern guis of the Russian Navy, began in 1701. His image was also used as a fortress standard for forts and other coastal objects.

Guys during the Russian Empire

In 1712, Peter the Great also indicated that the approved guis should also be used as a Kaiser flag (Kaisers flag) - a banner that is raised on ships if there is an admiral general, grand dukes and other important persons on them. The "Naval charter" of 1720 finally approved its appearance. Such a Kaiser flag could also be used as a boat flag.

Guys, according to the same "Naval Charter", could be raised not only on the military, but also on auxiliary ("fins") ships, and on galleys (in this case, the cross was supplemented with "plaits"). Now it is difficult to determine whether merchant ships used such a bow flag in the time of Peter the Great.

Without any changes, the guis approved by Peter the Great existed until 1913. Then, by order of Emperor Nicholas II, the drawing on the standard was supplemented with a double-headed black eagle, located in the center of the cloth. This type of guis was active until the February Revolution of 1917.

The Soviet government used guises and fortress flags from the time of the empire until 1924, which was slightly surprising against the backdrop of a total change in historical symbols and names. Then the standard underwent a number of changes:

• In 1924, Peter's drawing of the guis was supplemented with a white circle in the middle, in the center of which shone a red star with a white hammer and sickle in its core.
• In 1932, the drawing of the guis of the USSR was radically changed. The banner began to be a red cloth, the center of which was decorated with a large five-pointed star. In its middle was placed a smaller red star, inside which were crossed white hammer and sickle.
• In 1964, a slight change in the appearance of the guis followed - a large white star with all its contents was displaced, and its size was also changed.

The last option existed until 1992 - in the next paragraph we will talk about the flag-guis of the Russian Navy.

Guys of the Russian Federation

Let's briefly review the most modern part of the history of the Russian bow flag of ships:

• In 1992, Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 798 introduced a new type of naval guis - a red flag with St. Andrew's and St. George's crosses, which was once invented by Emperor Peter the Great. The difference was in one thing - the stripes of the cross of St. Andrew the First-Called were not originally blue, but blue.
• In 2000, the guisu of the Russian Navy was returned to the historical color version of the main cross - blue.

Border ships of the Russian Federation use a slightly modified guis - its white edging is three times wider.

Guys is currently

Today, the guis of the Russian Federation belongs only to military courts of the 1st, 2nd rank. It is raised on the bow (tank) of ships and submarines only during parking.

Well, in general, the guis of the Russian Navy - what is it? What does he look like? The modern Russian bow and fortress flag is a scarlet cloth with a white background thin vertical cross, on top of which there is a blue diagonal (inverted) cross with a white border. The width/length ratios are as follows:

• 1 / 1.5 - the width of the entire guis to its length;
• 1/10 - the width of the blue stripe of the large cross to the length of the entire flag;
• 1/20 - the width of the white stripe of the background cross to the width of the entire panel;
• 1/40 - the width of the white edging of the main cross to the width of the entire guis.

You can see a photo of the guy of the Russian Navy in the modern version below.

At present, the guisu in Russia is identical to the fortress flag. Although they are both approved by one normative act, these concepts should not be considered interchangeable - at different times these terms differed in essence, and the standards - in appearance.

Usage

According to Art. 628 of the Russian Ship Charter, the guis can only be used on military and border ships of the 1st and 2nd ranks. The bow flag is hoisted on the guisstock at the moorings of ships on a barrel, anchor, mooring lines.

Today, the guis is raised and lowered by sailors simultaneously with the raising / lowering of the main naval flag of the state - at 8 am and after sunset. It is also permissible to raise it on the masts of salute coastal points when launching fireworks.

The value of the guis of the Russian Navy

It was not without reason that Peter the Great, modifying the English-Scottish guis, singled out the cross of St. Andrew the First-Called in the first place. According to biblical tradition, this apostle was a fisherman, which is why he is considered the patron saint of all sailors. It is also believed that he preached on the territory of the future Rus' and even left two of his pectoral crosses here - in Kyiv and Volkhov. The image on them was copied in the form of the main element of the Russian guis.

As for the meaning of the colors of the guis of the Russian Navy, it is similar to the color symbols of the main state flag of the country:

• white - purity, purity, peace, perfection;
• red - the color of the blood of the defenders of the Motherland, energy, a just cause, strength;
• blue - fidelity, constancy, faith.

Collar-guis

In addition to the standard, the guis of the Russian Navy is a collar, which is an adornment of a sailor's suit. Its history is quite practical. In the old days, the charter assigned sailors to wear powdered wigs and oiled horsehair braids. This peculiar headdress stained the robe, which led to severe punishment for the sailor. Resourceful sailors began to sew a leather flap on their suit under a pigtail-wig, which protected clothes from pollution. Over time, this patch was transformed into a guis of a modern look.

According to another version, the "ancestor" of the sailor's collar was a hood, a cap that sailors put on their heads to protect themselves from bad weather. By tucking the guis under your clothes, you could also protect yourself from the cold wind, rain and sea spray.

Today, the sailor collar is made of dense cotton fabric in dark blue, providing it with three decorative white stripes on the sides. The guis lining is also blue. This collar is removable - it is equipped with eyelets for fastening to the corresponding buttons on the uniform and work jacket.

What do the stripes on the collar mean?

Patterns of the guis of the Russian Navy suggest the presence of three white fabric stripes on this collar. Their presence is explained by two unofficial versions:

• The number of stripes corresponds to the number of the largest victories of the Russian navy - at Gangut (1714), at Chesma (1770) and at Sinop (1853). It is worth noting that there are also three stripes on the collars of foreign sailors, the number of which is explained in a similar way.
• The number of stripes symbolized the proximity of one or another squadron to the great Peter. Since there were only three of them, the number of stripes was corresponding. The more stripes there were, the more the Russian emperor favored the sailors of this squadron.

Thus, the guis of both Russia and other countries is of great importance - it allows you to determine the nationality of a vessel that is in the parking lot. In addition, the version of the bow flag also indicates which ship is in front of you - military or border. Guyses - both standards and collars - have a rather interesting history of their origin and subsequent modification.
