Mamaev kurgan. How they play football

Answer from Ђ [guru]
Most likely, the name has nothing to do with the commander Mamai. Nevertheless, many believe that there was an outpost of Khan Mamai in the city, and the mound bears his name. [source not specified 311 days] The story about Khan Mamai goes deep into the past, to the times of the Golden Horde. It is believed that during the construction of the monument, Khan-Mamai’s tombstone was barbarously demolished. There is also true legend that Khan Mamai was buried on a mound named in his honor, in a tomb and golden armor. This is confirmed by numerous excavations on Mamayev Kurgan in the past. Is this place holy or cursed? There is still no definite answer. But one thing is clear, Mamayev Kurgan is far from simple and full of all sorts of secrets and mysteries. And one of the modern secrets is connected with his... name. It would seem that nothing could be simpler - since Mamaev is connected with the name of a very real khan from the Golden Horde - Mamai. As the legend tells, plausible and very “historical”, on this mound during the time of Mamai there was an outpost of the Mongol-Tatars. At the top there were guard patrols, and on the ridge itself there was a horseman, whose combat task was to monitor the appearance of any danger. Hundreds best warriors were sent by Mamai to carry out guard duty at this height, because Mamai, they say, knew that it was from here that it was most convenient to control the Volga and the transfer, and thus he himself could avoid sudden attacks on the capital of the Khanate. However, now some researchers claim that Khan Mamai actually had nothing to do with this mound. The real Mamaev Kurgan is located in a different place - on Seleznevy Hill, where Mamai’s guard regiments were located. But then why was our mound still named Mamaev? There are plenty of versions. Before the Great Patriotic War local residents they called this hill simply “hillock”, and in the manner of the Volga Tatars it sounded like “mamai”. This is one hypothesis. According to another opinion, the name has nothing to do with Mamai and the Tatars, and the etymology of the word “Mamai” from ancient Tibetan means “mother of the world.” Like this!
A number of scientists support this version: Mamaev Kurgan, of course, has nothing to do with Khan Mamai, but it reveals a connection with the origin of another ancient capital- the city of Itil, where the Khazars who inhabited it professed Judaism.
And in general, the mound was not officially designated a mound before. At first it was just a bump that didn’t attract special attention. Since the time Battle of Stalingrad he became strategic important object and in all military documents it was already referred to as “height 102”. The name “mound” in relation to “height 102” was first used by one of the war correspondents. And this word stuck, even fused with the mysterious height, especially since after the terrible battles of the Great Patriotic War this place justifies true meaning the words “mound” is a grave mound... Modern scientists suggest that Mamayev Kurgan has a special energy because a geological fault passes under it, through which flows cosmic microwave background radiation that influences people. Positive or negative is the question. But the fact that Mamayev Kurgan from time immemorial had a special meaning for people is beyond doubt.
Judging by historical evidence, who did he not see? This place was sacred to the Sarmatians. Their tribes lived here since the 5th century. BC. to the 4th century AD They performed their rituals and sacraments on the mound. There is a legend that a sacred Sarmatian sword was stuck in the Mamayev Kurgan.
Another legend about the sword and Mamayev Kurgan takes us back to the time of Tamerlane. They say that Tamerlane entered the mysterious mound, and when he climbed to the very top, he suddenly saw the Virgin Mary with a sword, commanding him to leave these lands. Whether Tamerlane saw the Mother of God or not, this Volga campaign in his biography is the only one interrupted... A special story is about the Persian king Darius. http://www.ufolog.ru/publication/4205/

There are many versions of why the mound was named Mamaev. The most reliable is its origin from the word “hillock”, which among the Volga Tatars sounded like “mamai”. There are legends that there was once an outpost of the Mongol-Tatars here, since from this high place it was convenient to control the Volga.

The name “mound” was first used for it by one of the war correspondents. And this word took root, even fused with the height, especially since after the difficult battles of the last war the true meaning of the word “mound” - a grave mound - became clearer.

When the enemy was finally defeated, on every square meter of Mamayev Kurgan there were from 500 to 1200 shell fragments. In the spring of 1943, the grass did not turn green on this melted earth.

It is impossible to imagine that, for example, multi-storey residential buildings would rise on Mamayev Kurgan after the war. This sacred place of glory and sorrow was to become a monument in memory of the Battle of Stalingrad.

A competition was announced for best project monument. There were also proposals to leave the destroyed Stalingrad as a edification for posterity, but a dead city cannot be a monument to the Great Victory. Therefore, the authors of the memorial sought to embody in stone a reliable image of the heroic warriors, their fierce desire for victory, and to recreate the atmosphere of military operations great battle on the Volga. The space of Mamayev Kurgan, with architectural and symbolic links strung on a single axis, lifts the viewer to the top of the memorial. The creators brought it to life higher form monumental art.

Statue “The Motherland Calls!” - the center of the memorial. She embodies the power and steadfastness of the people's spirit and at the same time, paradoxically, soars high above the top of the mound. Its height with the sword is 85 meters, and its total weight is 8 thousand tons. According to the results of a competitive voting held in 2008 by the Izvestia newspaper and the Rossiya TV channel, the statue of the Motherland became one of the seven “Wonders of Russia”.

The sculptural compositions of the memorial are made in reinforced concrete. Could airy marble or soft bronze convey the trembling of the earth under a lead shower? The sidewalks and squares are paved with granite, symbolizing the courage and inviolability of the city’s defenders. The water in the memorial’s pools is a reminder of the great Volga and the blood of fallen soldiers.

They say that it was Stalin who chose Yevgeny Vuchetich as the author of this grandiose monument under open air. As soon as the country began to recover after the war, construction began on Mamayev Kurgan in 1959. The construction of the complex was completed on October 15, 1967. The scale and complexity of the task required a lot of time to complete it. 25 years after the start of the legendary battle, the ensemble “To the Heroes of the Battle of Stalingrad” was inaugurated. It became the largest monument dedicated to the events of World War II built anywhere in the world. Its area is 26 hectares.

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Victory, in 1995, a military military base was opened on Mamayev Kurgan memorial cemetery, where the remains of the defenders of Stalingrad, found, are still interred search teams. After all total losses in the Battle of Stalingrad amounted to 1 million 129 thousand people, many soldiers are still listed as missing. In 1995, the remains of 6,480 people were buried and reburied in the large and small mass graves of Mamayev Kurgan. Another 17,500 names of defenders were engraved on the 130-meter stele, which was inaugurated this year on February 2.

“We have been leading for many years hard work to establish the names of the Red Army soldiers who died in Stalingrad,” says the director of the museum-reserve A.V. Vasin. – The number of names on the stele is one and a half times the number Soviet soldiers who died in Afghanistan. Perhaps this will help evaluate the work of the search engines who identified the names.”

In 2005, a temple in the name of All Saints grew on this land.

In January 2008, the monument-ensemble was merged with the panorama museum “Battle of Stalingrad” and is now officially called the “State Historical and Memorial Museum-Reserve “Battle of Stalingrad””. This made it possible to significantly increase its funding and continue development.

Panorama “Battle of Stalingrad” – unique memorial, erected on the site of the battle of soldiers of the 13th Guards Division of General Rodimtsev. It includes the ruins of the Gerhardt mill - the only structure in the center of Volgograd that has not been restored since the Battle of Stalingrad.

The richest museum collection includes more than 165 thousand exhibits. Only about 5,000 of them are on display. These are genuine objects, documents, photographs of the war years, complemented by four dioramas and the panorama “Destruction” Nazi troops near Stalingrad" - the largest painting in Russia. It was created by the studio of military artists named after M. B. Grekov; The length of the canvas is 120 meters, the height is 16 meters, the area of ​​the subject plan is about 1000 square meters.

So that people can see the large collection of exhibits stored in the museum’s storerooms, they plan to open an exhibition hall on Mamayev Kurgan. This is one of the highest priority tasks. In addition, the museum equips little-known memorable places The Battle of Stalingrad is a spring of life, pillboxes.

In May 2012, the basement of the Central Department Store of Volgograd was transferred to the museum-reserve. Seventy years ago, on January 31, 1943, the headquarters of the 6th Field Army was captured in this basement. German army led by Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus. Today, a temporary exhibition of the Memory Museum is located here, military-historical reconstructions of the captivity of Field Marshal Paulus, and meetings between young people and veterans of the Great Patriotic War are taking place.

In 2011, by presidential decree Russian Federation The Battle of Stalingrad Museum-Reserve was given the status of a particularly valuable object cultural heritage peoples of the Russian Federation.

It just seems that a lot has been said and written about the feat of the defenders and residents of the city. Interest in those distant events does not wane, but grows every year. Living witnesses of those days are leaving, but the entire complex of the Battle of Stalingrad Museum-Reserve continues to testify to the feat of our people in the Great Patriotic War. Memorials ignite in the souls of new generations the fire of memory, thirst for achievement, and love for their Motherland.

The publication was prepared by the staff of the Battle of Stalingrad Museum-Reserve

The land is soaked in the blood of the brave who died. Mamaev kurgan. Mysterious, mystical “height 102”. Since ancient times, like a magnet, it has attracted conquerors dreaming of world domination.

Whether this place is holy or cursed is still unclear. But there is no doubt that Mamayev Kurgan is a mysterious place, keeping unsolved mysteries under the imperturbable silence and peace.

And yet, why Mamaev? Although according to legend mongol khan Mamai located his fortifications on the territory of modern Volgograd, yet historians claim that the guard post and “strategic” height was located on Seleznevy Hill. But local residents simply called the elevation a hillock, which in Tatar sounded like “mamai.”

According to another version, neither Khan Mamai nor the Tatars had anything to do with it. And the name comes from the ancient Tibetan “mamai”, which means “mother of the world”. Many scientists support this version. Some even draw parallels with the mysterious Khazar capital city of Itil.

Well, the strategic “height 102”, which was called that in all government documents after the Battle of Stalingrad, began to be called a mound after the publication of one of the war correspondents. The word stuck. And the original meaning of “grave mound” perfectly merged with the history of the land, washed by the blood of Russian soldiers.

Scientists are sure that the desire to own the Mamayev Kurgan is a real mystical mystery. Some suggest that it is in this place that a certain geological fault passes, from which relict radiation flows.

The mound was sacred to the Sarmatians. Mysterious rites and mystical rituals were performed here. There is even a legend that the Sacred Sarmatian sword is kept in a mysterious fissure.

King Darius and Khan Tamerlane sought here. Darius not only did not conquer the territory, but also lost half of his army. For Tamerlane, this was the only campaign that he interrupted. According to legend, on the top of the modern Mamayev Kurgan he saw the Mother of God with a sword in her hand, who ordered him to leave sacred ground. Which is what he did.

But all the battles of the past are lost before the terrifying battles during the defense of Stalingrad. Why did the main Nazi strive with such fury to capture the mysterious “Height 102”? Why did Stalin not want to give up the mound with such fury? These questions still remain unanswered.

But the most amazing thing was discovered quite recently. In the early 1990s, one of the researchers of the city of Volzhsky, Mikhail Vasiliev, went into tourism business. It was then that he first heard about the mysterious well in Orlovka. One elderly Volgograd resident told this fact. When the outcome of the Battle of Stalingrad was already a foregone conclusion, into a well near the village of Orlovka German Nazis dropped 11 zinc boxes. The well was blown up. But, what is most incredible, after this they shot the Romanian soldiers who helped the Nazis.

And Mikhail began searching for the mysterious well. But, as it turned out, he is not the only one looking for him. Unknown German citizens made inquiries with local residents, offering them money for useful information.

During the Great Patriotic War, Orlovka was a base for Nazi troops. A detachment of the SS Sonderkommando “4 A”, commanded by SS Sturmbannführer Eugen Steimle, was also located here. They carried out punitive operations, and according to unofficial data, they simultaneously acted as a secret unit specializing in the search for mystical artifacts.

Surprisingly, during excavations near Stalingrad, a military badge of an SS officer and a ring with a skull depicted on it were found. Such rings were issued only to officers of the Ahnenerbe - the German Society for the Study of Ancient History German history and the heritage of their ancestors,” they were awarded personally by Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler. “The Death's Head Ring cannot be bought or sold. This ring must never fall into the hands of anyone who has no right to hold it."

It is reliably known that the Ahnenerbe, a secret division of the Nazis, was created after Adolf Hitler came to power. Expeditions were sent to Tibet for the purpose of teaching secret knowledge. Meanwhile in Europe the best specialists units were searching for the mysterious Holy Grail, in which, according to legend, the blood of the executed Jesus Christ was collected.

They say that the Germans managed to develop a certain magical alloy called “electrum”, as the ancient Egyptians called it! The “world ether”, placed in the “nervous node” of the planet, made it possible to control everything existing on earth. However, nature works in this case in a special way. It begins to exert a powerful influence on people, which makes it possible to make them weak and helpless, which makes it possible to exterminate the excess population or turn people into obedient slaves.

The most amazing thing is that during the battles, as soon as Kurgan passed into the hands of the Germans, work began on removing the soil. What the Germans were looking for is unknown. Perhaps they really believed that Mamayev Kurgan was a “knot of nerves.” And it is possible that the zinc boxes contained that very “electrum”.

However, according to one legend, somewhere under “height 102” in a mysterious cave full of dangerous traps, the Holy Grail, the coveted treasure of all tyrants, was hidden. Whether this is true or not, time will tell.

February 2nd, 2013

Yesterday, when I posted a post about the monument, one of my friends asked me why the mound is called that? And I don’t even know... let’s read what is known about this and what theories there are.

Volgograd guides tell guests of the monument-ensemble by rote romantic story that Mamaev Kurgan got its name from the time Tatar-Mongol invasion. As the legend tells, plausible and very “historical”, on this mound during the time of Mamai there was an outpost of the Mongol-Tatars. At the top there were guard patrols, and on the ridge itself there was a horseman, whose combat task was to monitor the appearance of any danger. Hundreds of the best warriors were sent by Mamai to perform guard duty at this height, because Mamai, they say, knew that it was from here that it was most convenient to control the Volga and the transfer, and thus he himself could avoid sudden attacks on the capital of the khanate.

However …

Let's first remember what we know about MAMAY himself?

MAMAI (?-1380) - temnik (i.e. military leader of “darkness”, 10 thousand soldiers), one of the prominent representatives of the Mongolian military aristocracy, a talented and energetic military leader and politician in the Golden Horde

On his father’s side he was a descendant of the Kipchak Khan Akopa, he came from the Kiyan clan, on his mother’s side he was from the Golden Horde temnik Murza Mamai. He rose to prominence under the Golden Horde Khan Berdibek (1357-1361), marrying his daughter. Not belonging to the clan of Genghis Khan, he could not be a khan himself. But, taking advantage of the internecine struggle for the Khanate in the Golden Horde, in the mid-14th century, in the fight against Tokhtamysh, he subjugated most Golden Horde western territory, that is, the lands from the Don to the Danube, fought his way to power with poison and dagger. By the end of the 1370s, he became the de facto ruler of the Golden Horde, ruling it through dummy khans (Russian chronicles called them “Mamaev kings”).

Inciting feudal strife between the Russian princes, who fought among themselves to obtain a label for the great reign, opposing the strengthening of the strongest of the lands under his control in Rus' - Moscow, Mamai consistently supported its opponents. He placed his main bet on Tver, and also, for tactical reasons, on Ryazan. At the same time, for the sake of caution, he more than once burst into the territory of the Ryazan principality (which served as a buffer between Muscovite Russia and the Horde), devastating it. Mamai's orientation towards the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was accompanied by his hostile attitude towards Muscovite Rus'.

In 1378 Mamai burned Nizhny Novgorod, by that time was under the patronage of Moscow and then sent a detachment of Murza Begich to collect the missing taxes from the Moscow prince Dmitry Ivanovich. As the chronicle tells, Mamai wanted to restore power over Russia, wanting “it to be like it was under Batu.”

On August 2, 1378, on the Vozha River, Russian soldiers led by Moscow governors Daniil Pronsky, Timofey Velyaminov and Prince Dmitry Ivanovich himself for the first time, using new tactics, managed to defeat the Horde army.

In response, Mamai began to cook new trip to Moscow.

In the summer of 1380 he collected large army, which included not only the Tatars, but also the Circassians, Yasses, and Chechens they conquered. However, on September 8, 1380, he was defeated in the Battle of Kulikovo and fled from the battlefield with a small detachment of Tatars to Kafa (Feodosia). The chronicler reported: “... the filthy Mamai ran with four men into the bend of the sea, gnashing his teeth, crying bitterly...” - this is how the Legend of Mamai’s Massacre told about it. In Crimea, he was met by warriors of the Horde Khan Tokhtamysh, and Mamai was killed in Cafe, according to some sources - by the Tatars, according to others - by the Genoese, who were his allies.

“There were no permanent guards or outposts of Khan Mamai in this area,” says Tatyana Prikazchikova, an employee of the panorama museum. - Even when Golden Horde began to disintegrate and, as they say, one ulus went to war with another, there was no point in keeping patrols here. By the way, before the war, local residents simply called this area “hillock,” and in the manner of the Volga Tatars, the same word sounded like “Mamai.” During the Battle of Stalingrad, all military documents began to refer to the strategically important hill simply as “Height 102.” The word “mound” in relation to “Height 102” was first used by one of the war correspondents. It went from there." In fact, the phrase “Mamaev Kurgan” is tautological - something like “lumpy mound.” For the first time it can be found in one of the statements of the People's Artist of the USSR, sculptor E. V. Vuchetich. Probably, the author of the gigantic composition “The Motherland Calls” liked the play on words - by analogy with the famous Malakhov Kurgan in Sevastopol.

Height 102" - the designation of Mamaev Kurgan on military topographic maps - has since been known throughout the world as the scene of some of the most fierce battles of the Second World War. But no less (and according to some sources, more) fierce battles were fought in other areas of the city’s defense - on Lysaya Gora, in the “ravine of death” (west of the Red October plant), on “Lyudnikov Island”, on the “Rodimtsev Bank” " . .

The fight for Mamayev Kurgan lasted 135 days out of 200 days of the Battle of Stalingrad. The slopes of Mamayev Kurgan were plowed with bombs, shells, and mines. Mamayev Kurgan remained black even in the snowy season: the snow here quickly melted and mixed with the ground from artillery fire and bomb explosions. The density of fire here was enormous: for every square meter Mamayev Kurgan accounted for from 500 to 1250 bullets and fragments.

After the end of the Battle, the dead from all over the city were buried on Mamayev Kurgan; according to approximate data, about 34.5 thousand people were buried there (later on the site of this huge mass grave and the main monument was erected - the Motherland, which became a monument to all those who died in the Battle of Stalingrad). It was then that this place became a real mound - a burial place. In the first post-war spring, Mamaev Kurgan did not turn green - not even grass grew on the burnt land. Pitted with craters, strewn with fragments from mines, bombs, and shells, the mound turned black as if it had been charred. Mamaev Kurgan stood crippled by the war until 1959.

According to another opinion, the etymology of the word “mamai” from ancient Tibetan means “mother of the world.” Like this!

A number of scientists support this version: Mamaev Kurgan, of course, has nothing to do with Khan Mamai, but it reveals a connection with the origin of another ancient capital - the city of Itil, where the Khazars who inhabited it professed Judaism.

And in general, the mound was not officially designated a mound before. At first it was just a bump that didn't attract much attention. Since the time of the Battle of Stalingrad, it has become a strategically important object and in all military documents it was already referred to as “Height 102”. The name “mound” in relation to “height 102” was first used by one of the war correspondents. And this word took root, even fused with the mysterious height, especially since after the terrible battles of the Great Patriotic War, this place justifies the true meaning of the word “mound” - a grave mound...

According to one of the “paranormal” versions, it is assumed that Mamayev Kurgan has a special energy because a geological fault runs underneath it, through which relict radiation flows, influencing people. Positive or negative is the question. But the fact that Mamayev Kurgan from time immemorial had a special meaning for people is beyond doubt.

Judging by historical evidence, who did he not see? This place was sacred to the Sarmatians. Their tribes lived here since the 5th century. BC. to the 4th century AD They performed their rituals and sacraments on the mound. There is a legend that a sacred Sarmatian sword was stuck in the Mamayev Kurgan.

Another legend about the sword and Mamayev Kurgan takes us back to the time of Tamerlane. They say that Tamerlane entered the mysterious mound, and when he climbed to the very top, he suddenly saw the Virgin Mary with a sword, commanding him to leave these lands. Whether Tamerlane saw the Mother of God or not, this Volga campaign in his biography is the only one interrupted...

A special story is about the Persian king Darius. In 512 BC. he gathered an army of 500,000 with the aim of marching on the Volga-Don interfluve. Darius passionately wanted to expand the borders of his lands at the expense of other people's possessions. The reason for the campaign was the “motto” - revenge on the Scythians for the insults inflicted on the ancestors of the Persians.

There were much fewer Scythians, and instead of going out into open battle, they decided to use a tactic that would later be called the “scorched earth” tactic: in general, the Scythians began to retreat inland, having previously filled up roadside wells and springs and destroyed vegetation.

Darius, with his army of many thousands, elephants, lions and camels, was forced to follow the cunning enemy. Very soon his army was exhausted, tired, and a lot of dissatisfied people appeared in the ranks. Darius reached the Oar (Volga) River, and here his exhausted army stopped. Darius decided to wait and settled on the future Mamayev Kurgan. Time passed... But the enemy - no, did not go into open battle.

Instead of pitched battle The Scythians began to quietly attack detachments of hungry Persians going for food, sometimes even engaging in battles with the Persian cavalry and putting them to flight.

Then, in despair, the Persians began to build fortifications - eight huge walls. But this did not help Darius either. In the end, he was forced not only to retreat, but to flee, leaving almost his entire convoy and most of the soldiers.

Later, Herodotus, in his notes on his travels along the Volga, mentioned the remains of eight Persian fortifications on the Mamayev Kurgan.

The land of Mamayev Kurgan haunts many researchers, archaeologists, historians and simply enthusiasts. People are trying to explain what is so special about this relatively low Volga hill? And the hypotheses put forward are simply amazing and fantastic.

So, there is an opinion that Volgograd region is a kind of key point on the Earth. Or rather, the center of the destruction of the Earth. And it is Mamayev Kurgan, where the figure of the Motherland is now installed, that is the very point of destruction. And, they say, the fascists knew about this. That’s why they were eager to capture “Height 102” at all costs.

There is an even more surprising hypothesis. According to it, hidden in the Mamayev Kurgan... is the Holy Grail, and that neither Stalin nor Hitler wanted to surrender the mound precisely for this reason, and that even during the battles, archaeological excavations were carried out in the mound.

Indirect evidence that the Germans were really looking for something on the mound can be the discovery of the Death's Head ring. Such rings were worn only by employees of the special organization “Ananerbe” (“Heritage of the Ancestors”), which was engaged in the study of occult places and the search for ancient artifacts.

According to another hypothesis, Mamayev Kurgan conceals treasures of ancient civilizations, which can only be revealed after all wars on earth cease. That is - never...

The original article is on the website InfoGlaz.rf Link to the article from which this copy was made -

There are several versions of the origin of the Mamaev surname. According to one of them, the surname is based on male name Mamai, which is also found in some modern Turkic languages. The etymology of this name is controversial. Perhaps it is derived from the Tatar word mamaj - “a monster that scares children” - which is associated with Khan Mamai. The name Mamai may also be based on the word “mam” - “devil, devil”.

Famous noble family Mamaev, whose representatives in different time served To the Russian Throne, consisted of different ranks and owned villages. So, for example, Mamai Mamaev and his son Grigory were in the noble service; in 1582 and 1615 they had a significant local salary.

Special mention should be made of the coat of arms of the Mamaev family, included in part 9 of the “General Arms of Noble Families” All-Russian Empire" It is a shield divided into 4 parts. In the upper left field there is a silver moon on a red background, in the upper right field on a blue background there is a golden bow and arrow. In the lower left field, green, there is a warrior's hand emerging from a cloud. The hand is dressed in silver armor and holds a sharp sword. In the lower right part there is a black eagle on a gold background. The shield is topped with a noble helmet and a crown with three ostrich feathers. The shield is held by two warriors dressed in Tatar clothes, with a quiver of arrows behind their backs and bows in their hands.

Version 2. What does the name Mamaev mean?

In fact, they are the new Mamaevs

Isn’t it true that the Mamaev surname smacks of antiquity? Wherever you meet its bearers: in the foothills of the Caucasus, Tatarstan and Bashkiria, in the vast expanses of Russia... Recently, the Mamaevs from Digoria (RNO-Alania) gathered representatives of this ancient family for a family gathering.
They gathered to review their ranks in order to remember the family history, to introduce everyone to everyone. In general, the multilingual Mamaevs came together not for fun, but to listen to the speeches of the wise aksakals Taimuraz, Hadji-Daut, those who were younger: who they are, who settled in these mountains, what they lived for, what they are famous for, what they can give for the development of the clan and their regions
Good ambitions fuel the thoughts of those who gather at family gatherings. There are many positive things in the goals of such meetings and prospects for the future. The Mamaevs are one of the Tatar-Russian-Balkarian-Karachai, Dagestan, Bashkir and other North Caucasian clans - a numerically significant multi-ethnic archipelago. Therefore, at a family gathering in North Ossetia-Alania, representatives of the family turned the meeting not only into a nostalgic meeting, but rather used it to determine goals today. A clan that has not only a tamga, but also a coat of arms, must feel a debt to the land that has become its homeland, the elders spoke about this.
The author of the recreated archival materials and the memories of the ancient elders of the family coat of arms is Alan Mamaev. Trefoil with Scythian quiver, scattered sun rays on blue sky, a mountain tower and scattered around the perimeter, reminiscent of the Mamaevs’ long-standing affiliation with the Christian faith, with crosses and an image of the family tamga - this is the coat of arms. The call inscribed on it is “Faith. Homeland. Conscience. Honor” The Mamaevs remained faithful to their oath, the speakers said, not without pride. Among them are the Balkar Abu, the Karachay Safar and others.

Version 3

Co times of Kulikovskaya battle nickname Mamai They began to reward people of broken character, brawlers, brawlers. This is how the family name was born.

Version 4 (surnames Mamaev, Mamai)

Mamai is a brawler, a fighter. Named after the ill-fated Khan Mamai, defeated in the Battle of Kulikovo. (F). The surname comes from the male name Mamai, which is also found in some modern Turkic languages. The origin of this name is unclear. In the Tatar language mamaj is 'monster'. with which they scare children’ (Dal), but this meaning may be new, already associated with the name of the notorious Khan Mamai. Although in modern Mongolian language preserved common noun mam abusive 'damn, devil'. It is possible that the name comes from this stem and the particle aj (rudiment genitive case). Less likely is the etymology from Mongolian word meme 'nipple, female breast', found in some Turkic languages. (B)
