The most beautiful Hungarian women (20 photos). Hungarians are the most “Siberian” people in Europe. They spoil children.

On my excursions the question often comes up: Is it true that Russians are not liked here? True and false at the same time. Taking a look at all the revolutions and wars of liberation that the Hungarians organized once a century in an attempt to achieve freedom and independence, I will say that the Hungarians have reason not to love the Russians, because many of these wars and revolutions were suppressed with the help of the Russian army (for example, the war of 1703 -1711, anti-Habsburg uprising of 1848-49). It seems to me that very few people like Russians in general, but let’s be honest, no one is obliged to. It’s clear that in the 21st century no one will remember the 18th century; these are things of “past days” and now Hungarians are very loyal to tourists, including Russian tourists. My dear friend Anna Chernova, a journalist for the British information portal Zima, recently wrote a review entitled “What are the British like?” I read her article with pleasure and thought: what are they like, Hungarians?

Thanks to my dear orchestra, I traveled a lot and realized something important for me: people are the same everywhere. There are adequate ones, and there are inadequate ones. There are those who are successful and those who are suffering. It is incredibly difficult for me to draw any conclusions about the Hungarians, because I understand that as much as I love Hungary, I do not understand the Hungarians. I do not expect my point of view to be accepted in this matter, while I hope that I will not offend anyone with this article; in all subsequent cases of using the word “Hungarians,” my opinion is based on personal experience (and maybe a little on stereotypes).

A little negative

Hungarians are quite strange guys. They like to live in the past, they like to remember how they were offended (first the countries that won the First World War took away 2/3 of the territory, and then the USSR offended them for 45 years after the Second World War), they like not to remember when they they were offended (in Budapest before WWII there was the largest community of Jews, three-quarters of whom did not survive the war). Hungarians love to suffer and say that they are tired (working from Monday to Friday 8 hours a day). One of the first attempts to joke in Hungarian was “Haha, I’m Hungarian now too, because I’m very tired.” (a couple of people found it funny, so humor was counted). Hungarians are very pessimistic; in the 19th and 20th centuries, many artists committed suicide.

In a group of Russian-speaking residents of Budapest, this question also recently “came up” and there was something to smile about in the comments. Among the “unobligatory”, “unreliable”, “not hardworking” ones, “those looking for profit in everything” and “tend to steal everything that is bad” were also identified. Hungarians don't like Hungarians. Hungarians don't like to plan. Hungarian men are not eager to provide for their women. The characters of Hungarian men and Hungarian women are reversed. For a relationship to reach marriage, women here wait at least 5-8 years. Sometimes men are so incapable of making a decision that you simply wonder: how can anyone be in a relationship with him?

A little positivity

I believe that we ourselves build our social circle, so all of the above are stereotypes. What I saw from personal experience was more positive. Hungarians are excellent fathers, thanks to their gentleness, amenability, and good nature. The Hungarians I met were quite open minded. Older men are very gallant and educated. Hungarian humor is so subtle that I still can’t always understand it due to language barriers. But when I understand, I laugh until I cry. The rule of 6 handshakes in Hungary comes down to 2-3, everyone knows each other. One of the most touching stories for me was when I was talking with my friend David about the band Subscribe, which I have loved for a very long time, and it turned out that the guitarist of the group was actually David’s classmate! Hungarians are quite conservative and love their rights (the most important thing is that they know them). Hungarians love to talk. On one of my first trips, when I could already speak Hungarian quite well, I stopped being frightened by sudden dialogues while standing in line at the store. One girl on Facebook described this moment very accurately: “it’s normal to just turn to a stranger and say: wow, it’s hot, huh” :)

To summarize, I always say: “Well, in general, something like this. Hungarians are strange guys.” This characteristic describes them perfectly. Strange.

Hungarians have been through a lot. They are familiar with booms and busts, revolutions, civil wars. Now it is a confidently developing country, actively participating in the development of the European Union. Believe me, she is capable of surprising everyone who wants to get to know her. And all thanks to the unique people.

Story

The settlement of the modern territory by Hungarians began around the 9th century AD. The ancestors of the people are usually called Magyars, who belonged to the Ugric group. The Magyars roamed the Volga region and mainly lived in the Urals. Later they moved closer to the territory of Ukraine and invaded the Danube. In the 10th century, the Hungarians launched an attack on Bavaria, but were unable to advance far as they were stopped. The result of the Hungarians' advance was the strengthening of positions on the Middle Danube, which was geopolitically between Byzantium and Germany. At that time, Byzantium was a more powerful state with the Orthodox religion. A number of historians believe that it was this fact that became the reason for the further attraction of the Hungarians to the Byzantine Empire.
The beginning of the 2nd millennium marked a period of prosperity. Hungary became a kingdom that regularly fought with its neighbors. He conquered Transylvania, Slovakia, and Croatia. However, she was unable to conquer territories controlled by Rus'.
In the 13th century, the Mongols reached Hungary, defeating the armies of the Hungarians and Croats. This helped strengthen relations with Catholics in the West. Gradually, they manage to get rid of the Mongols, and Louis becomes the new king of Hungary. The territories of the kingdom expand, but then a period of royal unrest begins. It was aggravated not only by the transfer of power from Louis to his eldest daughter, which occurred due to the king’s lack of an heir, but also due to the battles of Venice with Dalmatia, which was taken from her by Louis. All this hindered development and caused a new decline that began at the end of the 15th century. The Ottomans and Austrians put pressure on Hungary, the dominance of the Poles was gradually established, and contradictions grew among the peasant communities. At the beginning of the 15th century, the Turks came here, defeated the Hungarian army and took control of large areas of the kingdom. Only towards the end of the 17th century, during the battle of Vienna, the Turkish army was defeated.
Then began the reign of the Habsburg dynasty, which committed bloody massacres, destroying Protestants. Their reign lasted until the end of the 19th century, and approximately in the middle a revolution began, during which residents actively protested and demanded the abolition of serfdom. The revolution was suppressed, resulting in the emergence of the Austro-Hungarian state. It lasted until the end of the First World War, after which a strong crisis and occupation by the Romanians began in the country. Hungary decided to unite with the Soviet Union, which had some positive effects on the country's economy by distributing land to the poor, introducing free secondary education and a standardized 8-hour working day. Later, another reshuffle occurred when Romanian troops invaded Budapest, defeating the Red Army.
During World War II, the Hungarians supported Nazi Germany, but as a result of their loss, the Red Army restored the communist government. Anti-communist sentiments persisted, so by the end of the 20th century and with the collapse of the USSR, the Communist Party ceased to exist.

Character

The character of Hungarians is fervent, spiritual, and love of traditions. People are characterized by a thirst for knowledge. Even villagers strive to educate themselves; Hungarians especially love to study everything related to their home country.
Friendliness is another characteristic feature. If two passers-by accidentally meet their eyes, they will certainly greet each other. Hungarians often make new acquaintances this way. Tourists note that this statement is true for them too, so they often start to get lost out of habit when literally everyone they meet meets them. Men and women shake hands. When dating for the purpose of starting a relationship or romance, girls prefer to meet through third parties. It is noteworthy that the surname is called first, and then the given name. The girls greet each other by blowing kisses. In conversations, Hungarians are calm, non-impulsive, and like to speak quietly and measuredly. Residents avoid assertive, emotional people.
Cooking and family are always favorite topics. Discussing personal life and exchanging advice is normal in Hungarian society. It’s better not to mention health or work. It is important to avoid comparisons with other peoples, since Hungarians consider themselves absolutely original. They have the greatest confidence in people who have started a family and carry photographs of their children with them. Many criticize the Hungarians for their lack of commitment and regular violation of treaties. They often cheat with foreigners, trying to find loopholes in contracts. At the same time, they need to get as much money as possible at any convenient opportunity. You shouldn’t count on a Hungarian’s word of honor; all points must be clearly stated.
In everyday life, Hungarians are leisurely and have a unique approach to work, considering efficiency to be synonymous with nervousness. Personal time cannot belong to work, so Hungarians rarely agree to overtime. If you call a person outside of working hours, then with a high degree of probability he will not pick up the phone. During the working day, Hungarians remain slow, confirming their reluctance to comply with obligations.
Another thing is the attitude towards the local area and area of ​​residence. The streets must be clean, it is important to maintain strict order. Visitors who violate it risk encountering hostility.

Traditions


Hungary has developed many traditions that are associated with dance and music. Christmas remains the main religious holiday. They prepare for it in advance. Around mid-December, Hungarians begin making so-called Luka chairs, then they burn them to prevent evil spirits from settling. Of course, not everyone follows this tradition, but many people find it quite interesting.
The tradition of celebrating Maslenitsa is still preserved. It is customary to organize balls for the holiday. Some, for example, at the Budapest Opera House, are truly enormous in scale. Representatives of different professions gather at the balls, which gives them the opportunity to get to know each other and make connections. And in the city of Mohács they organize a whole week of festivities. Carnivals are held here with the participation of terrible monsters symbolizing the Ottomans.
The main public holiday is St. Stephen's Day. It was he who became the first ruler to introduce Christianity. Actually, Stephen was the first king of Hungary, and Pope Gregory introduced him into the canon.
On Easter in Hungary it is customary to visit all relatives. It is important to visit your wife's friends as well. Before the holiday, you need to tidy up the apartment and bring it clean. Hungarians love to color chicken eggs and give them to each other. Chicken eggs are often replaced with chocolate eggs as gifts for children. On Easter, it is customary to gather around the table, eat and tell funny stories. Dousing with water is an invariable ritual. The townspeople watered each other from buckets, and the villagers did this near the rivers.
In a word, the Hungarian holidays are very interesting. In many ways, in this regard, they are similar to the Spaniards, who love to organize carnivals. However, if we consider the Slavic peoples, then among them the Hungarians are clearly in first place. After all, their festivals are held all over the country and on a large scale.

Food


Hungarian cuisine has many interesting dishes. Here are just a few of them:

  • The most popular dish of Hungarian cuisine is royal soup. Paradoxically, it was usually eaten by peasants. This is a rather hearty dish, which is a goulash. It is prepared according to different recipes. In total there are more than 30;
  • The most popular ingredient is paprika. It was brought to Hungary by the Turks. Paprika is used to make various seasonings that are added to almost every dish;
  • If you are a lover of unusual and satisfying food, be sure to try turosh - noodles with cottage cheese, cracklings and sour cream;
  • For an appetizer, you should definitely try kerezet, which is a pate with a sheep cheese base;
  • The national dessert is considered to be strudel with various fillings;
  • Those with a sweet tooth should already be familiar with esterhazy, but here it is made according to secret recipes.
  • The country has many good wines, the most famous of which is Tokaj.

Cloth


  1. The skirts in the women's national Hungarian costume have two layers. The sewing material is mainly purple or dark red velvet. Embroidery was a mandatory decoration of the fabric. The shape of the skirt resembled a bell and had different lengths.
  2. Pendey was used for insulation, and woolen fabric was additionally tied on top. They always wore blouses or shirts on top, and on top of them they put on prusliks - sleeveless vests. Pruslik complemented the skirt, which made it seem as if the girl was wearing a sundress. Nowadays, national costumes practically exclude the wearing of aprons, although there are still examples with luxurious embroidery.
  3. Hungarians wear hats with long ribbons as headdresses. Flowers were attached to the ribbon. If a family had a first child, they were red.
  4. Hungarian men's shirts can be knee-length. Although the length could be short, it directly depended on the geographical location of the region. It was always warmer in the north and west.
  5. Westerners preferred wide canvas trousers, while in the east they chose narrow cloth ones.
  6. A very unusual way to decorate a vest was to use pieces of a mirror. They were used not only as decoration, but also as amulets.
  7. Men wore a lip, a long coat, on their shoulders. As an alternative to a coat, they used a sur - a long cloak with sewn sleeves.
  8. Shoes were bokkors - high boots. Sandals are also considered traditional footwear in Hungary; they are certainly woven from birch bark.
  9. Not only a felt hat, but also a straw hat could be used as a headdress.
  10. Hungarian clothing was functional, protected from bad weather, attracted attention, and saved from heat or cold, depending on the place of residence and the season.

The Hungarians are a truly interesting nation. In their national character one can find many features that may seem strange. For example, attitude towards work. However, the Hungarian way of life emphasizes that family should remain one of the main values ​​of every person. Hungarians love carnivals, festivals, holidays, are decent and sociable, kind and open. Without exaggeration, they can be called true family men.

The Hungarians are the largest (14.5 million people) of the Finno-Ugric peoples and belong to the Ugric group.

The supposed ancestral home of the Hungarians is the region east of the Urals. Unlike their closest linguistic relatives - the Khanty and Mansi, who remained in the taiga - the Hungarians went to the steppes and began to lead an almost nomadic lifestyle. In the 9th century AD The Hungarians roamed the southern Russian steppes until they were driven out from there by the Pechenegs, after which the Hungarians were forced to move west. In 896, the Hungarians settled in Transylvania, from where they took possession of Pannonia. In 1001 the Kingdom of Hungary was formed.

Currently, 8.5 million Hungarians live in Hungary. There are large Hungarian diasporas in neighboring Romania (1.2 million) and the USA (1.5 million).

Hungarians profess Catholicism and Protestantism (mainly Calvinism).

Among European peoples, Hungarians are perhaps the most different from their neighbors in their speech. The fact is that the Hungarian language belongs to the Finno-Ugric language group, while residents of the surrounding countries speak languages ​​of the Indo-European group. And the most related languages ​​to Hungarian are the languages ​​of such peoples as the Khanty and Mansi, living in Western Siberia. The same language group also includes Finns, Karelians, Estonians, and Komi. But how did the Hungarians end up so far from the Urals and Siberia? Why do they look completely different from their closest linguistic relatives?

The Hungarians, or Magyars as they call themselves, have an interesting history, and the composition of their language reflects many periods of the formation of the Hungarian ethnic group. More than half of the words in modern Hungarian are of Finno-Ugric origin. First of all, these are basic verbs, as well as terms and concepts related to descriptions of nature, family, society, hunting and fishing terms. According to researchers, this is the basis of the language, which has remained virtually unchanged since the existence of a single Ugric community that lived in Western Siberia and the Urals around the 4th-3rd millennia BC. Then there was a division of the Ugric tribes into northern and southern ones, which shifted towards the Aral Sea. There they largely mixed with representatives of the peoples of the Iranian group (Sarmatians and Scythians) and mastered cattle breeding. As a result of this, the Hungarian language has been enriched with words related to animal breeding, which have Iranian roots. Around the middle of the 1st century AD, Magyar tribes migrated to the northwest, to the territory of modern Bashkiria, where several burials of the Magyar culture were found. Subsequently, the tribes moved west and mixed them with the Turkic-speaking Bulgars and Khazars, as well as with the Slavic tribes. Thus, a lot of words in the Hungarian language that relate to agriculture, labor, housing, food, and everyday life are of Slavic origin. It is precisely this intensive mixing with various peoples that explains such a significant external difference between modern Hungarians and representatives of the Ob Ugrians (Khanty and Mansi). At the end of the 9th century, the Hungarians reached the territory of the Middle Danube, where they live to this day. It is interesting that by this time they had already acquired modern European facial features and were more Caucasian in their genetic type, as evidenced by the analysis of 10th-century Hungarian burials on the Middle Danube.

But in addition to the basis of the ancient Ugric language, the Hungarians have preserved some customs and traditions that speak of their Siberian origin. For example, the traditional Hungarian fish soup Halasle is prepared according to a similar recipe with Khanty and Mansi soup. And some dishes of the national cuisine are the same as those of the Komi or Karelians.

This is how, according to scientists, the formation of the amazing Hungarian people took place. And today the Magyars, although they do not outwardly resemble their ancient ancestors, have retained a piece of the Siberian Ugric peoples in their language and traditions.

This is not to say that Hungarians are a bad nation. But they are too arrogant towards Ukrainians and, especially, Russians.

It is clear to the naked eye that, inside their European upbringing, they cherish the savagery of their Asian ancestors, who looked at the Slavs as cattle.

Historically, the Hungarian Semigrad region has always been an aggressor on the territory of Chervonnaya Rus, and then Ukraine.

The outrageous Ukrainian writer Oles Buzina testifies that the Hungarians mocked the Ukrainians during the First World War.

But the Slavs also reciprocated.

It was the Magyar squadron that became the first victim in history of the legendary machine-gun carts invented by Father Makhno.

Harmless-looking peasants “on carts” lured the Hungarian cavalry into pursuit.

And then they stopped, unsheathed their machine guns - and mowed down the entire squadron, decked out in epaulettes!

And in World War II, the Magyars were Hitler's best allies.

It is not without reason that the bloodiest battles between German-Hungarian troops and the Red Army took place near the Hungarian Lake Balaton.

A million killed on each side!

The arrogant Hungarians, together with the arrogant Germans, could not come to terms with the idea that the Russian-Ukrainian army was driving them into the ground mixed with their vaunted “tigers” and “panthers”.

It is not for nothing that the medal “For Budapest” is so valued by Soviet veterans. But all this is in the past.

The modern city of Budapest, demanding revenge.

What traditional revenge was the revenge of invaders at all times, among all peoples?

That's right, mastering local women.

And the more, the better.

So we, dressed in our clothes, went to look for our victims.

Due to limited time, there was no way to break a couple of beautiful Hungarian hearts.

There was only one thing left to do - go to the red light district and take revenge on the defenseless girls there.

That's what we did.

I admit honestly, I have never seen such an abundance of prostitutes as we saw on the night streets of Budapest in the mid-90s anywhere else - neither in the rest of Europe, nor in America, nor in Asia.

I was struck by two things - the cheapness and beauty of the local “butterflies”.

The Budapest sex trade then operated according to the Dutch model - girls stood on the sidewalk near their one-story nativity scenes.

The cost of one odalisque was US$5 for a standard 15 minutes.

But it wasn’t the cheapness of the girl’s body that surprised me.

And the beauty of some concubines.

We drove slowly through the red light district and looked at dozens, if not hundreds of prostitutes.

Among them there were such fresh, young, Turgenev-looking girls that our ardor paradoxically began to fade.

Finally, when I saw the Goddess standing timidly on the curb, I was completely confused.

In front of me stood a creature of heavenly beauty - brown hair, huge blue eyes, a perfect face, a swan neck, a magnificent figure and chest, long slender legs - in short, a complete blast!

To top it all off, she was dressed as the Mother of God is usually dressed in plaster Catholic figurines - in loose white clothes and a large blue scarf draped over her shoulders.

I asked in Russian: how much?

And she confirmed me - two thousand five hundred forints*.

And then I realized that there was no one to take revenge on!

We stepped on the gas and sped away.

We spent the night sleeping at the base like two gays, on one bed, since there were no more places in the hotel.

In the dream, we tossed and turned and angrily pushed each other like two master's cats in the mistress's bed.

Hungary's revenge did not take place.

Note*: “And she answered me – two thousand five hundred forints” (Ukrainian)
