Why is the number 13 considered the devil's dozen. Who received the rest of the awards

We forget that rock music is not just a phrase, but a huge cultural layer national music. A colossal, not only historical, but also musical, extraordinary layer of music. OUR Radio is just one of the radio stations, but it makes SUCH an award! This is the only radio station that is serious about our national history, Garik Sukachev.


On February 23, a grandiose musical show was held at the Olimpiysky sports complex - the presentation of the tenth anniversary National Award "Chart's Dozen".


Huge screens with a unique video sequence and live broadcasts from the stage served as decorations for the Chart Dozen.


Every five minutes, a fire blazed near the stage, and confetti rained down from the ceiling. In addition to musicians, a whole team of professionals was involved in a bright show, the audience was able to see pyrotechnic effects with a unique light show. For this reason, the "photopit" was moved beyond the dance floor ... but the guests of the "Chart Dozen" were, of course, most interested in music.


The first to come out to the audience were the AVIA group and Anton Adasinsky, who combined music, theater and ... a sports parade in their performance!

The hosts of the awards Diana Arbenina and Gosha Kutsenko also spoke in the opening speech, presenting one of the promised surprises of the evening: the first live performance of the song "The Bird on the Windowsill" from the project in memory of Ilya Kormiltsev.


The song was performed by Bi-2 and the orchestra, joined by Vladimir Shakhrin, Alexei Mogilevsky, Nike Borzov and Diana Arbenina!

After this impressive tribute to Bi-2 and Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Felix Aranovsky they played a half-hour set of their favorite songs. "My rock and roll" "Bi-2" performed together with Diana Arbenina and finally captivated the audience.


In the middle of the evening, the "heavy artillery of our rock scene" group "Time Machine" appeared on the stage, playing several songs from the new album. Not allowing the audience to rest on the stage of the anniversary "Chart Dozen" artists came out and arranged a super show - the anniversaries of "Kukryniksy", 25/17, KnyaZz, "Mill", "The End of the Film" ...


PrinceZz


But everyone was pleasantly surprised by Basta, who sang a duet with the classics of Russian rock - the Kalinov Most group. Surprises were presented by the hosts: Diana Arbenina presented a candid video for the song “Very Wanted” on the huge screen of the “Chartov Dozen” and performed immediately with the group “Night Snipers”, and Gosha Kutsenko was suddenly replaced by Alexander Pushnoy, who amused the audience for the rest of the evening.


But if you give someone an award for the most crazy and positive performance, then, of course, the Leningrad group!


Instead of the announced two songs, the group performed as many as four.


Sergey Shnurov said that the Anniversary Chart Dozen should go down in history.


"Leningrad" for the second year in a row wins in the nomination "Group"!

Who received the rest of the awards?

This year, the Bi-2 group took two gold records: Lyova Bi-2, who received an award from the hands of Sergei Voronov and Valeria Gai Germanika, became the “best soloist”, and the best video was Bird on the Window Sill.


"The leader of the chart" was called the group "The End of the Film" - this is how the listeners of Nashe Radio decided. Group The Hatters became the owners of a gold record in the "Hacking" nomination, after a fiery performance in the lobby, even the doubters recognized them as winners.

Experts and organizers of the "Chart Dozen" honored the memory of the leader of the "Black Obelisk" group Anatoly Krupnov, who passed away 20 years ago, with the title "Legend". The award was received by the musician's son Vladimir Krupnov from the hands of NASHE Radio presenters and rock legend Garik Sukachev.


Whom to present awards at the anniversary award, as the best of the best? Therefore, in 2017, another person received the title of "Legend" of our music - Sergey Chigrakov, the soloist of the group "Chizh and Co." "For contribution to music" was awarded to the composer and musician Igor Vdovin, who received the record from the hands of Sergei Shnurov.

For charitable activities, the host of the show, Gosha Kutsenko, was awarded, thanks to which the Step Together Foundation exists.
The award was presented to him by Sergei Belogolovtsev.


In 2016, many worthy albums were released and it was not easy for listeners to choose, and yet " Best Album" became the disc "Only Lovers Left Alive" by the group "Night Snipers". "Concert of the Year" was unanimously chosen - Zemfira received the award.

On February 23, 2017, NASHE Radio presented gold records to the winners in 13 nominations. But, given the anniversary of the award, this time not only the main characters of the year were awarded, but also the main characters of the whole musical decade!

” and subsection “ ” of Article 13, or the devil's dozen. Someone may not agree that the devil's dozen is related to numerology. After all, numerology is the square of Pythagoras or Alexandrov's psychomatrix of digital analysis ... However, numerology is the science of numbers. Including the number 13.

13, or a damn dozen - that's a lot. Probably, none of the numbers allowed the appearance of so many superstitions and signs predicting misfortune. So, for example, there is one interesting fact: number 13 in European culture not only is it considered unlucky, but the fear of the number 13 is called triskaidekaphobia.

Triskaidekaphobia (or terdekaphobia, from other Greek τρεισκαίδεκα - thirteen and φόβος - fear) is a painful fear of the number 13. This fear is considered a superstition, historically associated with religious prejudices. The specific fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves and start in order - with the definition of the word.

13 (thirteen) is a natural number between 12 and 14. This number is often superstitiously called the devil's dozen. To date, there is no consensus among researchers about the origin of the fear of the number 13 or its name. So, according to one version, the number 13 can be considered “bad” just because it is more than 12, a number that is sacred among many peoples.

In addition, there is a biblical tradition indirectly connected with the number 13 - at the Last Supper, Judas Iscariot, the apostle who betrayed Jesus, sat at the thirteenth table. This legend is associated with the most common sign in the 19th century associated with the number 13 - if 13 people gathered at the dinner table, one of them will die within a year after the meal. Later, the apocryphal belief spread in Christianity that Satan was the 13th angel.

According to another version, the fear is partly due to the fact that in the Jewish calendar (lunisolar calendar) some years consist of 13 months, while the solar Gregorian and lunar Islamic calendars always have only 12 months in a year.

Triskaidekaphobia also has roots in Viking mythology: the god Loki was the 13th god in the Norse pantheon.

There was a superstition (possibly related to the Last Supper): if 13 people gathered at the same table, then one of them would die within a year. There was even a profession of the "fourteenth guest", who was invited to a meeting in order to avoid an unlucky number. In the United States, the "Club of Thirteen" was created to combat this superstition.

And now a few facts on the topic 13, or a damn dozen

The British Navy once produced a ship called Friday the 13th. The ship set off on its maiden voyage on Friday the 13th. Nobody ever saw him again.

The number 13 suffers from being right next to 12, which is considered the perfect number. There are 12 months in a year, there are 12 signs in the zodiac, there are 12 gods on Olympus, and Jesus Christ has 12 apostles.

The unlucky Apollo 13 spacecraft was launched at 13:13 Central Standard Time on April 11, 1970. The sum of the digits of the date also gives the number 13 (4+1+1+7+0 = 13). The explosion that damaged the ship occurred on April 13th, but not on Friday. Perhaps that is why the crew was able to return to Earth.

Many hospitals do not have a 13th ward, and many high-rise buildings do not have a 13th floor.

US President Franklin Roosevelt never traveled on the 13th and never gave dinners for 13 people. Napoleon and Herbert Hoover are also known to be afraid of the number 13.

Woodrow Wilson considered 13 to be his lucky number, although the statistics were not on his side. He arrived in Normandy (France) for peace talks on December 13, 1918, but when he returned to the US, Congress refused to sign the document. While touring the United States in support of the peace treaty, Wilson nearly died of a heart attack.

Signs on reverse side dollar bills include 13 pyramid levels, 13 stars above the eagle's head, 13 arrows in the eagle's paw, 13 leaves on an olive branch.

Butch Cassidy, the notorious bank and train robber, was born on Friday April 13th, 1866. Fidel Castro was born on Friday 13th August 1926.

Once Mark Twain was the 13th invited guest. A friend advised him not to go, but Twain went. The writer later commented on the party: “I was very unlucky. The food was designed for only 12 people.

Superstitious people in Paris can hire a special person to be the 14th guest.

In England, too, they believe that the number 13 brings misfortune, but it is called not a damn one, but a "baker's dozen." The history of turning the number 13 into the "baker's dozen" in England began with the introduction of severe fines for underweight pound loaves of bread. Bread inevitably shrinks; to avoid fines, all the peddlers and shopkeepers who took bread from the bakers added one extra to every dozen loaves. It was called unbread (non-bread) and was cut into appendages for all loaves that did not reach a pound or two pounds.

By the way, for the East, the fear of the number 13 is definitely nonsense and superstition. After all, in fact, you need to be afraid of the number four! And in the East, tetraphobia, the fear of the number 4, is widespread - in hotels and hospitals in China, Japan and Korea, there are rarely fourth floors. In Chinese, the numeral "four" 四 and the verb "to die" 死 are homophones, while in Japan and Korea these words were borrowed from Chinese.

What is most interesting, if you follow the numerological rules of addition, then the number 13 is the same as the number 4.

So it is likely that the belief in the unhappiness of the devil's dozen is much older than is commonly believed 🙂

For the first time in Russian, the word "dozen" is mentioned since 1720. It was originally used by sailors. The word is borrowed from the French douzaine or Italian dozzina, which in turn are derived from the Latin duodecim (duo - "two" and decim - "ten"). M. Vasmer in his dictionary does not exclude that the origin of the word could be influenced by the common Slavic hefty (formed from the same base as the disappeared arc - “strength”).

But why is there a separate word for 12? Not for 11, not for 14, 15, nineteen, finally. Most likely, the special status of the number 12 is associated with the spread of the duodecimal number system in antiquity.

Counting on the phalanges of the fingers in the duodecimal number system

The duodecimal number system originated in ancient Sumer. It is assumed that such a system arose based on the number of phalanges of the four fingers of the hand (excluding the thumb) when counting them with the thumb of the same hand. The phalanges of the fingers were used as the simplest abacus (the current state of the score was marked with the thumb), instead of the bending of the fingers adopted in European civilization. Some peoples in Nigeria and Tibet use the duodecimal number system today.

An almost monopoly reign in the account of the modern decimal number system, duodecimal and now occupies its small but strong niche. This is especially reflected in the measurement of time. There are 24 hours in a day, 12 hours a day, 12 hours a night. There are 12 months in a year. In one hour, not 100, but 60 minutes, that is, 12 times five. The same can be said about seconds. The celestial sphere was conventionally divided by ancient astrologers and astronomers into 12 signs of the Zodiac. The number 12 also appears in the angle measurement system. Twelfths were often found in European systems of measures. The Roman standard fraction was the ounce (1/12). 1 English penny (pence) \u003d 1/12 shilling, 1 inch \u003d 1/12 foot, etc. Finally, 12 apostles are described in Christianity.

And the number 13, which is worshiped by Kabbalistics, is “bad”, as evidenced by both studies of the holy scriptures and popular beliefs.

The fear of the number 13 may also have roots in Viking mythology: the god of tricksters, Loki, was the 13th god in the Old Norse pantheon.

In addition, card XIII in the Tarot deck represents Death.

The fear of the number 13 that many people have is called triskaidekaphobia. The specific fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia.

Implicitly numbered thirteenth house

Therefore, in some buildings, floors are numbered so as not to unnerve triskaidekaphobes: after the 12th floor, the 14th may immediately follow, the building may have floors 12A and 12B, or the 13th floor may be called “12+1”. Sometimes this also applies to house and room numbers. AT opera houses In Italy, sometimes there are no places with this number, and on almost all ships, after the 12th cabin, the 14th immediately goes. Also, the 13th row is sometimes absent in aircraft (after the 12th row, the 14th immediately follows). Due to the superstition of many pilots, the US never had an F-13 fighter: the YF-12 (prototype SR-71) was immediately followed by the F-14. Also, the number 13 is not used in auto racing, 12 goes immediately after 14.

There was a superstition, possibly related to the Last Supper, that if 13 people gathered at the same table, one of them would die within a year. There was even a profession of the "fourteenth guest", who was invited to a meeting in order to avoid an unlucky number. In the United States, the "Club of Thirteen" was created to combat this superstition. Later, the apocryphal belief spread in Christianity that Satan was the 13th angel. Hence the number thirteen and began to be called - Baker's dozen.

Film "Friday the 13th" (Eng. Friday, The 13th)

The popular saying about "Friday the 13th" originally came from the merger of two truly ancient superstitions: the inauspiciousness of Friday (the execution of Christ) and the number 13 (an unlucky number), and in the 20th century it was popularized by the series of films "Friday the 13th", the first of which was filmed in 1980.

From the point of view of mathematics, the number 13:

  • Natural, two-digit (in decimal number system), odd number.
  • 7th Fibonacci number.
  • 6th prime number, has prime twin 11.
  • The sum of the squares of the first two primes: 13 = 2 2 + 3 2 ;
  • The largest number in the primitive Pythagorean triple is (5, 12, 13), that is, it is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with leg lengths 5 and 12: 13 2 = 5 2 + 12 2 .
  • There are exactly 13 Archimedean solids.

But not everything is as bad as it seems at first glance. For example, in England, the number 13 is called in English not a damn thing, but a "baker's dozen", or "a baker's dozen". The history of turning the number 13 into the "baker's dozen" in England began with the introduction of severe fines for underweight pound loaves of bread. Bread inevitably shrinks; to avoid fines, all the peddlers and shopkeepers who took bread from the bakers added one extra to every dozen loaves.

In addition, the number "13" was popular as the tail number of the German fighters of the Second World War. At the same time, in addition to the belief of some pilots in the lucky properties of the number, it is likely that such a side number sometimes singled out the squadron commander, which traditionally numbered 12 fighters, among other pilots.

And in Asian countries, the number thirteen is the most common, there they are most afraid of chila 4, which means "death."

A stereotype has formed in the human mind that the number 13 is a bad omen. No one wants to live in a room under these numbers, sit down on a plane under similar symbols, and on Friday, the 13th, in general, everyone wants to survive as soon as possible. However, no one will say why everything is so, why 13 is a damn dozen, and why it is so scary. Let's see if everything is so terrible, where did the belief come from, and maybe not everything is so bad?

Triskaidekaphobia

The damn dozen, or thirteen, is an interesting and extraordinary phenomenon. No other number implies such a huge number of signs and superstitions that predict trouble. Not a single person knows what exactly is, but there is a certain interesting fact: the number 13 is not only misfortune, but also a fright. The disease associated with the fear of the number 13 is called triskaidekaphobia.

Terdekaphobia (another name) is a painful fear of the number 13. This is both fear and superstition at the same time. Since historical times, all this has to do with prejudices of a religious nature. The fear caused by the approach of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia, or paraskavedekatriaphobia.

What are the fears?

There is no single answer. If you ask a question, damn dozen - how much is it, then everyone will say with confidence - thirteen. However, ask the same people the question of where unfounded superstitions come from. None of them will put forward an exact theory. There are several versions of what the fear of the damn dozen is connected with.

According to biblical tradition, he was sitting at the table exactly the thirteenth. In the nineteenth century in Europe there was a belief that it was impossible to gather 13 people at one table, otherwise one of the guests would die within a year. Also among Christians there was an opinion that the thirteenth "man" was the Antichrist himself.

Another hypothesis related to the fear of the number 13 is explained by the fact that in the lunisolar calendar, some years have 13 months. At the same time, lunar Islamic and solar prove that one year is 12 months.

Some Facts About the Devil's Dozen

The English navy once released a ship called Friday the 13th. The ship also set out on its first voyage on this very day. Nobody ever saw the ship again.

Tell me, damn dozen - how much is it? Of course, thirteen. It was on August 13 that Fidel Castro was born, on April 13 (also on Friday) Butch Cassidy, a train and bank robber, was born. Fate itself thus predetermines the human fate in the world.

Many hospitals can boast that they do not have room number 13. Also, some do not number the 13th floor.

"Baker's Dozen"

That's what the devil's dozen is called in the UK. Despite such a beautiful title, people believe that these numbers can not bode well. Previously, in this country, 13 had the same title as in other states. However, once in the UK they passed a law according to which bakers had to pay a fine if their pound loaves of bread did not reach the norm. The fact that bread shrinks is known to everyone and everyone, therefore, in order to avoid punishment, all merchants who took bread from bakers purchased one extra loaf for every dozen. The extra bread was called unbread, and it was cut into pieces for those loaves that weighed a little less than a pound. That is why in the United Kingdom, when asked how much a damn dozen is, everyone always answers: 13 is a baker's dozen.

happiness from number 13

Despite all the above troubles from the devil's dozen, there are some facts that speak in favor of this number and say that it can bring happiness and joy. So, in antiquity, it was believed that the one who was 13th in the group was predicted to have power and strength. An example is the omnipotent god Zeus, who was surrounded by 12 celestials. That is why neither Plato nor Ovid was frightened by the question: how much is a damn dozen? In those distant times, they did not know, and the number 13 caused only delight and joy in them.

Ulysses was 13th among his comrades. And he was the only one who managed to escape from the Cyclops. 13 Buddhas housed in the Indian pantheon. The USA, a country that was formed under the clear patronage of the number 13, is today a strong, powerful state.

Military people do not believe in the power of the number thirteen at all. During the Great Patriotic War it was the Soviet submarine "S-13" that was the most successful among all the submarines of the Baltic Fleet. She took part in the most dangerous operations, but always emerged victorious from those situations that were considered doomed.

All this provides the basis for casting aside prejudices, affirming for oneself that there is nothing terrible in the number 13. And always say, when you see the designation 13 somewhere: “Oh, damn dozen! This is how much good things can happen to me today.
