Tip 4: Why Belarusians are called Bulbash

Byelorussians with a share of irony are called bulbash. Although the Byelorussians themselves, the villagers, and even the intelligentsia, even more so, perceive their nickname very ambiguously.

Military version

It is generally believed that the bulbash of Belarusianssince time immemorial, but this is not true. In pre-revolutionary Russia, such a word was not used anywhere, it was not possible to find it in the dictionaries of that time. And in general the history of the origin of the word "bulbashi" is not yet clear to this day. According to some linguists, this word appeared only during the Great Patriotic War. On the territory of Polissya and in Ukraine active pro-fascist guerrilla army under the command of Taras Bulba-Borovets was active. From the name of the leader went the name of the members of this group - bulbashi. Taras Bulba-Borovets himself never considered himself a Belarusian nationalist - only Ukrainian. He called his army the Ukrainian Military Organization.

Vegetable version

According to another version, the bulb (potato) of steelto grow in Belarus since the time of the Commonwealth, in which the country was then part. The idea that the Russians were the first to call the Belarusians "bulbashi" is untenable. In Russia, potatoes appeared much later. The Russians got acquainted with potatoes only during the first split of the Commonwealth. More closely, the word "bulba" has a Latin bulbus, so it is not surprising that during the reign of Catholicism in Belarus, this word turned into a "bulb", and from here already into "bulbash ".

Religious

The legend of what Peter I brought to Russia fromHolland potatoes ... is also incorrect. He brought a bag of Jerusalem artichoke. In the XVII century between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Vatican there was a fierce struggle for the priority of Orthodoxy over Catholicism and Uniatism. The churchmen, fighting with Catholicism, called the imported overseas fruit a "devil's apple", told all sorts of passions about those who eat it. In fact, "bulbashi" were renegades from the ROC - Uniates. Litvin (so called then Belarusians) were grown on their allotments and consumed Jerusalem artichoke, and therefore also fell into the wrath of Russian Orthodoxy. Negatively referring to their nickname, the Belarusians should remember that this word came from ancient Belarusians and was only later accepted by the Russians , moreover, with pejorative meaning. By this nickname is meant a single-farmer farmer, uncommunicative and himself on his mind. Dealing with prejudice to "bulbash", however, their diligence and perseverance in achieving this goal are recognized.
