Feats are valiant deeds based on such human qualities as courage, self-sacrifice, determination. The hero performs an exceptionally difficult task, takes responsibility for its solution. He overcomes special kinds of obstacles associated with unusual and difficult conditions.
To accomplish a feat is to become a hero, an example for a large number of people, to gain fame. Such an act presupposes a voluntary choice, awareness of the need to follow one's civic duty. Feats are not an obligation, but a personal matter for everyone. Sometimes such an act can cost social status, he alth and even life. However, the likelihood of such consequences does not stop the heroes. Seeing another person or group of people in need of rescue, many rush to help without hesitation.
What is needed to accomplish a feat
It may seem that the feat of a hero implies only the presence of courage, honor, strength. However, at the heart of a brave act is a thought. Without it, both courage and selflessness will be a waste of energy. If the ability to think clearly is lost, any victims will bein vain.
Russian exploits basically have a wide plateau of life meaning. Everyone remembers the times of the Great Patriotic War, when ordinary people, ordinary workers went to certain death in order to defend the right to life of their compatriots.
The brave act of Panikakhin M. A
A worthy example that embodies the fighting spirit of our army during the war is the feat of Marine Panikakhin M. A. At the time of the Nazi attack near the Volga, the hero rushed towards the enemy tank and set fire to the fuel. This sacrificial act cost the man his life: the flame destroyed not only military equipment, but also himself. The feat of the hero became an example for the rest of the warriors, everyone looked up to him.
Panfilovites
The heroism of twenty-eight Panfilov soldiers who served in the 315th division, controlled by General IV Panfilov, will never be forgotten. During the defense of the lines at the Dubosekovo junction, these soldiers, led by political instructor Klochkov V. G. entered the battle with fifty German tanks, which were accompanied by a large number of fascist submachine gunners. Our heroes are known for their courage and perseverance. Of the twenty-eight, only four Soviet soldiers survived, the rest died, never allowing the enemy to pass. The feat of the Panfilovites and all the soldiers who fought like them is that their death was not in vain. They not only died, but left, fighting steadfastly. The soldiers resisted, acted, which directly contributed to the victory. Fear binds, but the warriors were able to overcome it.
The heroic deed of Alexander Matrosov
Ordinary people in extreme circumstances show fortitude. During the war years, the ordinary soldier Alexander Matrosov covered the enemy embrasure with himself, which spewed the fire of death. The exploits of the people who followed his example showed the whole world that the spirit of a Russian person cannot be broken under any circumstances.
Feat of the Soviet people
Faith in victory and in one's own people inspired Soviet soldiers during heavy fighting in the defense of Sevastopol, Leningrad, Odessa, and Kyiv. All, as one, had a strong will, a determination to destroy the enemy forces. Most of the heroes remained nameless in our memory.
Common work to achieve victory
The feats of people who lived in the Soviet Union in difficult war times have gone down in history. With their dedication, hard work in extreme conditions, they provided the army with metal, bread, fuel, raw materials for the manufacture of weapons. Most of the time, ordinary people were busy at work, working without days off and holidays, while the raids of the fascist invaders continued on the front. Everyone understood the importance of their work. Despite the lack of food, basic necessities, harsh conditions, everyone followed their duty.
It is worth considering that feats are not performed for the sake of fame or for later poems and songs to be composed about the hero. On the contrary, a person who is going to a brave deed cannot even think of admitting that at the moment he is doing something great. He makes decisions without hesitation, based on personalbeliefs and circumstances. At the same time, he is not up to fame and laurel wreaths, he simply does what he considers his duty.
Talent as a feat
The difficult life of our writers and poets, who went through hard labor and repressions, can be attributed to great feats. Despite numerous threats of reprisal and punishment, most of them did not give up their calling, continuing to create works for the people that seemed objectionable to the authorities.
A brave act of a simple young man
The feat of the youth of Kiev is a vivid example of courage and courage.
During the encirclement of Kyiv by the enemy Pechenegs, a brave young man volunteered to risk his life and get to the other side of the Dnieper to ask for help from the governor Pretich. Having shown ingenuity, the lad spoke with the Pechenegs in their language, thanks to which he was taken for his own. This allowed the young hero to get to the river. Knowing that he would be exposed, the brave man rushed into the river to swim across it. Under the shelling of the Pechenegs, he reached the opposite bank of the Dnieper and conveyed to the soldiers an important message from the princess. Subsequently, this feat of the youth of Kiev helped to liberate the city from enemies and drive them away into the field. This act made the young man a hero. Not knowing whether it would be possible to return home alive, he ventured into the camp of the enemy and at any cost to get to his soldiers on the other side. For the sake of saving the princely family and the entire Kyiv people, this man put his life on the line.
Heroic deeds
In Russian folk epic songs, epicsand legends glorify the exploits of heroes. They are based on a description of some historical event or a remarkable episode in the history of Russia. The main characters - Russian heroes - are endowed with exceptional features that are not characteristic of ordinary people. They have amazing strength, amazing courage. A distinctive feature is also the presence of an outstanding talent or special skill. So, Ilya Muromets was famous for his boundless strength, and Sadko was distinguished by his amazing playing on the harp.
At the heart of Russian epics is a common scenario: a hero goes to woo a bride in another kingdom. On a long journey, he performs feats - this is a battle with monsters or enemy forces, and overcoming obstacles and difficulties. The hero advances towards danger, usually alone, and always wins. He is motivated not only by the desire to show his heroic prowess, but also by the desire to stand up for the faith and protect the common people. The enemy is merciless: he robs people, kills them, so you need to deal with him.
Such heroes as Sadko and Vasily Buslaevich do not set themselves the goal of defeating monsters. They simply travel or exercise power for their own amusement. Their actions are based on violations of any prohibitions, as a result of which the heroes face difficulties and troubles. However, each epic has a happy ending, where the hero wins. But it is difficult to call such actions of heroes a feat, because in such situations they are guided by their own interests. Mostly heroesresponsible for the outcome of their behavior. A feat is an action performed for others. The hero's act must benefit someone other than himself.
Thus, anyone with a big heart and soul can accomplish a feat. Contrary to the instinct of self-preservation, the hero rushes to save someone's life, putting his own at risk. At the same time, he always faces a choice: save someone from death and sacrifice himself, or stay away safe and sound. Without hesitation, he chooses the first option, defying death. Every day, hundreds of people around perform feats.
It could be a simple firefighter who pulls unfortunate people and animals out of a burning house. This is a driver who noticed a smoking car on the side of the road and rushed to pull the victims out of it. This is a fisherman who rushed to save a man who fell through the ice.
Often the desire to help someone in an emergency is so great that the ability exceeds the physical threshold. There are cases when a person fell from a great height, was under water for a long time and remained safe and sound.
Feat is a model for behavior in a difficult situation. It is a pillar of morality, showing what human nature is really worth.
