All kinds of slang on the Internet is sometimes administered in bewilderment. For example, in various parapolitical discussions began to slip strange abbreviations. SUGS — what is it, and why the same users are sometimes written the other option, SUHS? Worth mentioning is the strange notion is found only in the so-called “holocracy”, which anyway are present users condemning the Ukraine. The topics of conversation really does not matter, holivar can ignite by an article about the exhibition of achievements of national economy somewhere in Argentina, or new breed of dogs. What's really going on and how to decipher mysterious letters?
The Big secret to this concept is not, but how and why the expression was reduced to an abbreviation, is unknown. Perhaps the roots of the phenomenon lie in the characteristics of network communication, where any more or less sustainable the concept sooner or later mutates to its short form.
Deciphering abbreviations SUGS - the abbreviated expression «Glory to Ukraine, glory to heroes”. The last few years, the situation in Ukraine is unstable, the assessment of the experts seriously contradict each other. The confrontation on the Maidan resulted in many serious events, and, unfortunately, not without casualties. Sharp popular slogan bought it in times square, although in varying degrees, has been used before.
Some Internet sources claim that shouting «Glory to Ukraine!» opinion «glory to the Heroes!” — it is a peculiar blueprint of the Nazi greeting "Heil Hitler! Sieg Heil!”. According to the documentary evidence, greeting «Glory to Ukraine» feedback was used by the Ukrainian nationalists from 1917 to 1921 in the territory of Kholodny Yar Republic. Later this salutation in conjunction with the Roman salute, his right hand, was used by the OUN (organization of Ukrainian nationalists). The researchers see obvious Parallels with similar greetings of fascist and semi-fascist organizations in Germany, Italy, Croatia, Spain and Slovakia. Can definitely say about SUGS, that's a Nazi salute?

Perhaps a substantial part of the blame lies on the Roman salute. At the time, the Nazis “ruined” many positive signs, gestures and symbols, making them their distinctive features. The swastika, which is originally a stylized image of the sun in ancient civilizations, a very long time will remain a symbol of fascism.
If you disassemble the parts discussing the greeting, it turns out that SUGS is not a unique phenomenon. Replicated in a huge number of shouting "glory to the Soviet Union” or “Slava" no one is the desire to fight with phantom Nazis.
There is the usual structure of expressions: Slava (long live as an option), the name of the country or state in some cases, instead, the names of state leaders. In particular, the Nazi salute "Heil Hitler!" is translated as “long live Hitler” or “hail Hitler”.
A Vivid sign of populism and political manipulation is a deliberate substitution of concepts. For example, the equal sign between Nazism, nationalism or just patriotism and national pride. In this case, the Ukrainians blamed the notorious expression of SUGS. What it means through the lens of populism? Of course, that is compressed around the ring of the Nazis, ready to kill anyone who can't prove their nationality. The vast majority of cases, this is a classic witch hunt and search for some hidden meaning.
In the ideological debate is always convenient to use the principle of dehumanization of the enemy. For example, if you say “Glory of Russia” — a sign of patriotism. But if you say «Glory to Ukraine», then you are a fascist, and he must be destroyed. Of course, sane people to such primitive manipulation can not be. The glory of his country — absolutely fine. Transcript of SUGS as the slogan of fascist ideology - it is either an attempt to inflate the conflict, or an honest mistake.
The Slogan «Glory to Ukraine! To heroes glory!” on the Euromaidan previously actively promoted by members of the party «Freedom». Any radical political movement, one way or another, seeks to appeal to the Patriotic feelings of the crowd, it allows you more effectively to guide the masses. Below is the transcript of SUGS was perceived as radical, it is necessary to carefully examine the contradictory political movements, Svoboda and never hid its intolerance. Another issue is that not all people who use this slogan belong to this party, and a much smaller number of them are radicals.
At the moment the slogan is used very sparingly, and the abbreviation most often used in a sarcastic sense,to hurt the holivar users with Ukrainian Ah-PI addresses. Often it is replaced by a combination of letters SWHS — “Bacon dropped hero fat” or other similar expressions, designed on the principle of the classic children's teasing.
As ordinary citizens of Ukraine took the sudden appearance of “cruise slogan"? SUGS, which means «Glory to Ukraine, glory to the heroes" in everyday speech is used as very seriously and with a sense of humor. Probably all depends on the involvement of the citizen in the national question. Nationalist ideology is not without a certain appeal — really want to feel like the chosen one, not applying to this no effort.
“Russian” — the slogan of the militant skinheads. “America for Americans” — the slogan that is used to push tougher laws on acceptance of immigrants. In any country, has its own radical layer, leading to the absurd is quite acceptable national pride. But to understand the need to move from the influence of populists and start to think logically and impartially, and it is for the average layman not an easy task.
