I found out that I have
There is a huge family -
And the path and the forest,
Every spikelet in the field!
River, blue sky -
This is all mine, dear!
This is my homeland,
I love everyone in the world!
In ordinary life, I practically never use the word “Motherland”. Only in school during lessons, and only if the topic of the lesson is related to this word. When communicating with friends, I also don’t talk about the Motherland. But, having decided to write an essay on the topic: “Why I love my Motherland,” only then did I think about what the Motherland means to me and my attitude towards it. The word "Motherland" means "native". Homeland is the place where I was born, where my relatives and friends live, where my father’s house and my family are. My homeland is a part of my life. For me this is more than a word! I think this is the most important thing for every person. Wherever you are, you always pull back to your native land. There is only one homeland. But I consider the expression “second Motherland” to be erroneous or incorrect; there is no second Motherland. Just like there is no second mother. The homeland is also called mother. But there is another name for the Motherland - fatherland, fatherland. When you say these words, the concept of protection associated with military significance arises in my mind. For me, of course, the word “Motherland” is closer. This word immediately brings back memories of my mother. Because there is no person dearer or closer to me.
Russia is my homeland. I was born in the city of Nakhodka. Yes, my city is small and not in the center of the country, but for me it is the closest. And in general it is not small, but cozy. What enchanting nature is here, especially in autumn. The most extraordinary miracle for me is the presence in my city of several types of reservoirs: a river, a lake, and the sea. And our weather is always the warmest if we compare the climate of the Primorsky Territory. In my life I have never traveled further than Vladivostok and it is difficult to compare it with other cities. And the memories are not very pleasant, this is a city of noise and movement. But, having returned to my city, I realized that I felt calm in it, everything around me was familiar. There is probably no need to even compare the city of Nakhodka with other cities. If something is dear to you, then you don’t need to do it. For example, I love my mom and dad, and I’m not going to compare them with other people, and I don’t need that. They are the only ones I have and will always be mine. So is the Motherland, I have only one, and will always be my Motherland.
Russia is a huge, vast country with an amazing history, people, architecture, and nature. A special feature of our nature are birch groves. Birch is a white, “good” tree. For almost everyone, the birch tree evokes the idea of Russia, just like the bear. My country has the largest gas reserves in the world. From words such as “samovar”, “gingerbread”, “pancakes”, “caviar”, “dumplings”, “Russian ballet”, “figure skating”, “ditties”, “Baikal”, one can understand that we're talking about About Russia.
There are a lot of cities in Russia. Cities such as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Vladimir, Yaroslavl, Novgorod and many others make up the heart of Russia. Each city has its own history and monuments. Our country is very friendly and multinational. Each nation also has its own history and traditions. The greatest people live in Russia. No matter what trials our people face, the Russian people are always united! Which means we won’t win. I think that it was love for the Motherland that gave the people the strength to overcome all the difficulties they encountered. And what kind of people live in Russia! The greatest people lived and live in Russia. They are known all over the world: Ivan the Terrible, M.V. Lomonosov, A.S. Pushkin, Yu.A. Gagarin, V.V. Putin and many others! I am proud that my homeland is Russia.
Why do I love my Motherland? I even do not know why. I just love her. It seems to me that I was born, and I already had this feeling. And if in simple language explain what it means to love the Motherland, then I think that you need to know the history, traditions of your people, treat nature with care, commit good deeds, be active and if someone does not understand why to love the Motherland, then you just need to explain to him.
It is necessary to protect and not forget our Motherland, because we have only one!
For me, probably, like for all people, the Motherland is the place where I was born, where I live and study - this is the fatherland, my native country, warm and sunny. A place where I feel good and comfortable, where I can relax both body and soul. Where is my childhood, the place where I will live and work in the future, the city in which I will stay for the rest of my life.
They say “it’s good to be away, but it’s better to be at home.” This phrase means that no matter where a person is (in neighbors or a foreign country), home is definitely better. The homeland is a person’s home, no matter how big or small it is.
Everything that is dear to me, that is close and loved, belongs to the Motherland. Favorite landscapes, fields, forests, native village, house at the end of the street, friends and relatives, parents and my animals - all this is part of me and my Motherland. This is the best place in all the land and it will always be in my heart, no matter how far away I am.
There is not a single person who does not have a homeland. Everyone has a place where they feel good and comfortable now or once were. This is part of human life.
Recently my mother told me how she and my father went abroad to work when I was not yet there. She said how sad they were after some time, how they wanted to go home to their native lands and close people. How they could not sleep on someone else’s bed, although it was new and comfortable, but they wanted to go home to their own creaky sofa. They could not endure the foreign language, laws and locality for long and returned three months later instead of the planned six. The parents were so happy from the mere sight and atmosphere of their native land that they abandoned the magnificent wedding, for which they themselves saved and earned money. They modestly signed their names, and then sat in a narrow family circle.
They instilled this love for the homeland in me too. No matter how good things are abroad with grandma, at home everything is exactly much better. And I always look forward to returning to my beloved beautiful city.
This simple word evokes complex sensations and feelings that are very difficult to convey. It is I who will not be able to part with my native land for a long time and I believe that everything will be fine. I believe in the decent and rapid prosperity of the country, and all bad things will definitely disappear. I am a patriot and I can proudly say that my homeland is the best and I can endlessly talk about all its advantages and disadvantages. I love her the way she is. You don’t choose your homeland, just like you don’t choose your parents.
The sacred duty, the responsibility of every person is to defend his homeland and defend its rights.
Another essay on the topic “What does the Motherland mean to me”
As far as I can remember, I have never been particularly patriotic and have never divided people into nations. For me, everyone is just a person, not a Frenchman, a German or a Pole. Perhaps this attitude towards representatives of other nationalities was the reason for my upbringing, since there were never “leavened patriots” in my family.
When I see how my grandparents and parents live now, there is no feeling of gratitude towards our state at all. Of course, each person is the architect of his own happiness, but if the state does not take care of its citizens, why love it? For me personally, European countries have always been an example, where the way of life and lifestyle are completely different. They, of course, also have their problems, but it’s simply ridiculous to compare our standards of living. Of course, the reason for this is the social cataclysms and wars that shook our country in the 20th century.
On the other hand, I love our people for the resilience, will and love of life they have developed over the years. Not every nation could have survived what we had to go through and not give up. I will always remember my homeland, it is dear to me if only for the simple reason that I was born here. I’m not sure that I want to spend the rest of my life here, but I definitely won’t leave my family and loved ones.
Most likely, all the warm feelings that I feel for our country are connected precisely with the people dear to me. Therefore, I think with sadness that perhaps someday we will have to part. As for everything else, namely the famous cultural monuments, fields, forests and Russian land in general, I also have tender feelings for them. I hope that in the near future the way of life in our country will change, and I will be able to proudly say that I live here.
Like children of previous generations, modern schoolchildren, according to the program, receive from teachers the task of independently writing texts on topics that broaden their horizons, define their civic positions and initiate reflection on moral and ethical categories. Among such tasks is writing an essay “What does the Motherland mean to me.”
This article is devoted to how to direct a child’s thoughts, conduct a preliminary conversation and help him complete this task.
What does the word "Motherland" mean?
In a conversation preceding independent writing of an essay on the topic “What does the Motherland mean to me,” as a rule, the child, answering the question about how he understands the word “homeland,” gives short definition concept. Usually children’s answers sound like this: “This is your country”, “This is the place where you were born”, “This is your city” or simply: “This is Russia”, etc. We must admit, it is true that modern children, especially the younger ones , are often lost and cannot answer this question, or try to speak in the words of the teacher, which were spoken in a recent lesson. This indicates that the student lacks background knowledge or it is extremely vague and limited.
In any case, a short answer is not enough to initiate the child’s reasoning, preparing him for an essay about the Motherland. No matter how he answers, it is important to ask a clarifying question: “What is a country?”, “Where were you born?”
The word "native"
Further, before the child begins the essay “What does the Motherland mean to me,” it is advisable to ask him the question of what cognate words he can bring to the word “Motherland.” Gradually, from a conversation with an adult, the student should learn that these words are “clan”, “native”, “relatives” and that “Rodina” means “native place”, “place of family”.
Personal feelings
The topic “What does the Motherland mean to me” involves appealing to the personal sensations, knowledge and feelings of the child, his biography and his own understanding of this word. Therefore, from clarifying an abstract concept, you need to move on to its concrete content, which is relevant specifically for this child.
Here, as in everything, you can apply the principle of comparison and contrast so that the concept is updated. For example, you can ask the author of the essay how he felt when he left for another city or country? What did he remember most? What was he yearning for? Will he be able to leave the place where he was born and raised for a long time or forever?
Is love for the Motherland an abstraction?
During the conversation, the child should come to the conclusion that he is able to answer the question “What does it mean to me to love my Motherland?” (the essay, we remind you, implies an appeal specifically to feelings, and not just to abstract knowledge). Schoolchildren say that during the trip they miss their family and friends, the places where they are used to visiting.
Children who travel around Russia with their parents often develop strong associations of the word “Motherland” with landscapes or architecture.
The essay should be based on their personal responses about impressions. It is then that it will not only turn out to be interesting and lively, but will also help the child realize his feelings. At the same time, an adult’s story about his impressions and how he would write an essay about the Motherland will enrich inner world child and will set a certain pattern, the outline of the story.
Children's filling concept
The concept of “Motherland” is formed from childhood and can be quite intimate even in adulthood, as it is associated with very personal details, small details of life, specific people and places. And if the child’s thoughts develop precisely in the direction of small specifics, of course, you should not interfere with him, since this is completely natural. Moreover, this is perhaps the only option for a sincere and free story on the topic “What the Motherland means to me.” The world of a child is small, but it is the small details that are dear to him, since only if there are specific places in his life where he was happy, a feeling of attachment is formed not only to his family, but also to the place where he grows up.
Children's content of the concept, therefore, can be based on associations with specific places. This could be a river where the child relaxes with his parents and where he learned to swim; the road along which he returns from travels; family home (apartment) and yard; area; children's art house, which he visits with preschool age, and so on.
Of course, you should not limit a child if he wants to talk about people who are dear to him, since the concept of the Motherland for any person is personified and cannot be separated from the people dear to him.
Loyalty to the Motherland
To bring a child to the topic of patriotism and instill or enrich civic feelings, it is worth asking him to answer a question like “What do the words “loyalty to the Motherland” mean to me?” If a child finds it difficult to answer, it is important to talk with him about what fidelity is in general. Who and what can you be faithful to? Why is it important? Is it important, in his opinion, to be loyal to the Motherland and why? What professions do people show this feeling? From what situations can you find out whether a person is loyal to his homeland?
Children are able to easily reason about these topics, like any other, with specific examples in mind. An adult’s story about personal experience will help orient the student and provoke the formation of his civic position, which, by the way, may be different from the position of an adult. And this is a reason to think about the reasons. Perhaps the child lacks impressions and experience, as well as knowledge of history received not in school lessons, but from relatives and adults.
Possible composition of the essay
Thus, a possible composition of the essay could be approximately the following:
- Objective disclosure of the concept “Motherland” (What is Motherland?).
- What place do I consider my homeland? What does it mean for me? What do I miss when I’m away or might I miss?
- What people is my Motherland connected to?
- What place will I consider Homeland if my family is forced to leave the city? From the country? Why?
- What is loyalty to the Motherland? In what situations and for whom is this important? What examples can I give from my life, from the lives of friends or strangers? What examples of loyalty to the Motherland can I give from history?
- Why is it important for a person to think about questions about the Motherland?
Thus, writing an essay on the topic “What does the Motherland mean to me” involves addressing personal experience child. His sincerity and freedom of expression will ultimately depend on whether his sense of attachment to the place in which he was born and raised is formed and on what it is based.
For me, probably, like for all people, the Motherland is the place where I was born, where I live and study - this is the fatherland, my native country, warm and sunny. A place where I feel good and comfortable, where I can relax both body and soul. Where is my childhood, the place where I will live and work in the future, the city in which I will stay for the rest of my life.
They say “it’s good to be away, but it’s better to be at home.” This phrase means that no matter where a person is (in neighbors or a foreign country), home is definitely better. The homeland is a person’s home, no matter how big or small it is.

A short mini essay on what the Motherland is, grade 4
Homeland? But what does this mean? How to understand this term? Maybe this is an alley, a house, an apartment in which a person spent his childhood? The country he grew up in? Or maybe planet Earth entirely? Hardly. The homeland is the place that a person strives to get to. A corner filled with comfort and coziness. Territory for which he will fight if necessary.
And also, this is a place where you are loved and surrounded by the care of loved ones. Such a deep meaning is embedded in the small word Motherland. For different people, it has something personal and intimate. We have one and only homeland, like life, it cannot be exchanged or chosen another. You can think about what the Motherland really means for a long time. It seems to me that each person is obliged to formulate the meaning of this word himself.
But if they ask me how I understand this word, I will answer: “Motherland is everything you value. Everything that is so important to you, be it a place or people. The homeland is a corner where you are drawn to return again and again!”
Essay on what the Motherland is
In the broadest sense of the word, the Motherland is our large country called “Russia”. In a geographical sense, this is - as the great Russian poet Sergei Yesenin said, “one sixth of the land with the name Brief Rus'" It stretches from the Pacific Ocean in the Far East to the Baltic Sea in the west. When the sun rises in Kamchatka and a new day begins, the residents of Kaliningrad are just going to bed. This is Crimea, which has returned to its native harbor.
In a historical sense, the Motherland is first Ancient Rus' led by Veliky Novgorod, then Russia, then the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. And now Russia is again - the Russian Federation.
The Motherland is the people who live on this one-sixth of the earth, who are happy and sad together with their country. These are people who, in a terrible time, did not abandon their country and did not run abroad, like rats from a sinking ship or cockroaches. These are the people who fought to the death in the Brest Fortress and under the walls of Moscow. These are people who survived 800 days of siege in besieged Leningrad. These are the people who broke the back of the fascist beast and hoisted the banner of Victory over the defeated Reichstag. The Motherland is the millions of people in the rear who forged Victory in factories. The Motherland is the winners who marched in a solemn march on Moscow’s Red Square back in 1945. The homeland is people who, in difficult conditions, developed virgin lands and conquered the ocean depths. These are the people who took their country into space. The Motherland is the athletes who perform under the Russian tricolor and cry with joy, standing on the first place of the podium, to the sounds of the Russian anthem.
Each person has his own homeland. This is not only the place where he was born. This is also the place where you live at this time. It could be a small village where your beloved grandmother lives, with a river where you learned to swim. For another person, the Motherland is the bench where he said “I love” and kissed the girl for the first time. The homeland is the place where ships return from long voyages and submarines. Pilots and astronauts come here from flights. Our huge Motherland is made up of such personal moments. Relatives, people, parents, Motherland - these are all words with the same root, derived from the word “clan”. And the Russian people, and the forests and fields dear to our hearts, and the tricolor flag, the chiming clock on the Kremlin’s Spasskaya Tower - this is all our beloved Motherland. And we don't need another one. You don’t choose your homeland and parents.
