Dmitry terekhov, sports news, channel one. Crimea, no. Considered the cradle of russian orthodoxy, here 200 years ago he began his the path through the future russian lands of the Apostle Andrew, the patron saint of our country. Today, like many years ago, st. Andrews flags fly over the ships of the russian fleet. The order named after him was now again the highest state award. And precisely to andrew the firstcalled to this day. They are praying for the protection of the fatherland, we are now almost in the thickness of the rock, in this place they were just quarrying stone here. From spring rocks in the first centuries, these negative angles that we see are precisely characteristic of the method of that mining stone precisely in the first centuries. A suburb of sevastopol, here is the inkermand st. Clement monastery, one of the oldest cave monasteries in crimea. You are here, by the way, here, im listening. I want to tell you that when you stand here at night, only candles and lamps are burning, you understand that practically nothing distinguishes you from those martyrs of the first centuries who also prayed here. The name of Saint Clement is inextricably linked with andrew the firstcalled. Clement, practically a contemporary of the apostle, lived on turn of the first second centuries. He was one of the first christians who suffered for his faith and was exiled to crimea. Clement was a fool, he was of a noble family, becoming the bishop of rome, he was a very talented man, he had the gift of gods word, and with his christian preaching, he brought many people to pagan rome. Pope in crimea, clement was extremely surprised to find several thousand christians in chersonesi and the surrounding area. The figure for the First Century is simply colossal. For most of these people, the impetus for adoption faith became sermons. Galilee is a region in the north of israel, there are mainly mountains and hills, it is not for nothing that even the name galilee is translated as a wavy surface. This is where lake galilee or lake genessar is located; for israel it is important, in much the same way as lake baikal is for us, its area is almost 170 square kilometers. Even in our time , 2,000 tons of fish are caught here annually, and in the time of christ it fed all the nearby cities, at the same time a simple fisherman named lived and worked here. From the gospel it is known that andrei was born in vevsaida, a small town on the shores of lake galilee. The galileans easily got along with the greeks; in the multitude that inhabited their country, many spoke greek, and even bore greek names. The name andrey means courageous in greek. He was a fisherman, he had a brother, simon, this is the Apostle Peter, they were brothers. His father was a fisherman. Named jonah, and the lord called them at the moment when they were fishing, we know that he was a fisherman, we know that before that he was inclined to listen to the sermon, therefore, they heard the sermon of john the baptist during the flow of the lord, we know that he was one of the closest and beloved disciples of christ, this is already a lot, there is very Little Information about what the Apostle Andrew actually looked like. True, sources from the early 9th century speak of some details of his appearance, but not in his youth, but already in adulthood after the death and resurrection of christ. His appearance was wonderfully described by epiphanius the monk. Such an interesting phrase, he was quite big, but tall. Bravast, nasad with such gray, well, a little unkempt hair. Very much his type, and even where he is not signed, we can easily recognize him by this appearance. Andrew initially became a disciple of john the baptist, when jesus passed by the lake of galilee and saw simon and andrew fishing, he said, follow me, and i will make you fishers of men. they left their boats and nets, from that. Andrew, earlier than the other apostles, who followed the lord, received the nickname of the firstcalled. Surprisingly, even those who have never read the bible know this story, thanks to Vyacheslav Butusov, his song actually begins with biblical quote. Sprechala, fished, the Apostle Andrew, the savior walked on water. And andrei pulled out of the vodka as soon as the savior of the dead people, and andrei, by the way, today Vyacheslav Butusov is a churchgoing person who knows the scriptures well, in 1990, when he first sang walking on water, he was far from the faith and did not really know how he lived Apostle Andrew served. The cross rises, if i remember correctly, it was. For me it was just a human story, come back, walk on the water, walk on the water, walk on the water with me, its very difficult to sing this song now, realizing that you are singing for the Apostle Andrew the firstcalled , and even more so for jesus christ, who answers him, yes, the point is that he has come. A man who teaches everyone, shows miracles, yes, unprecedented, and of course, well , the Apostle Andrew really wants to learn how to do this, and this is right, and he seems to be ahead of the curve. The event requires, in fact, from jesus christ that he quickly, quickly taught him to do everything the same, but to walk on water, there to save drowned people from the water, and jesus christ tells him that you see, there on the mountain, meaning in golgotha, the cross has already been prepared, if you want, so to speak, to do everything quickly, to learn everything quickly, go hang on the cross, when, so to speak, it dawns on you how. This thought is useful, you come back, we will continue together, so to speak, to work miracles, and then, as you know, when jesus christ sent the holy spirit to his disciples, to the apostles, he said now do not be afraid of anything, now you you can raise the dead, heal the sick perform other miracles, step on poisonous snakes, and so on, thats it. This is a very important chapter in the gospel, it is just encouraging. Little is said about andrew the firstcalled in the gospels; it is only known that wherever jesus went, the apostle followed him. Only one episode is vividly described. Remember, jesus once fed 5,000 people with five loaves of bread. It was andrew who approached christ and said here one boy has five barley loaves and two fish, but what is this for such a multitude . That is, the apostle believes in the power of jesus, but at the same time very tactful in his request. He asks not for himself, but for everyone, he is always an intercessor for others. It is more appropriate to call such modesty humility, which will manifest itself more than once. Everything is nonlinear in christianity, here is the Apostle Andrew. They know about christ, but until everyone has a chance , so someone must reach the limits of the universe and preach christ , including the scythians. The scythians were considered to be a distant people, barbarians; in fact, this is the thread that has connected us since the 2nd century, because the scythians lived on our territory. Scythia, according to avidius, a contemporary of the apostles, is the land north of the black sea. Now this is the territory of moldova, romania, ukraine. And russia, but all this is written evidence, are there physical, material traces of the presence of st. Andrew the firstcalled in crimea, yes, and in the literal sense, on the seashore, in ancient khersanes, a footprint of a bass foot was discovered, incredibly imprinted on a stone. Several examinations were carried out, anatomical examination showed that in. The stones really the imprint of a persons left foot, it was left by a man who was used to walking barefoot, and most likely suffered from the initial stage of flat feet. Experts also determined the size of a persons feet. The size of this foot corresponds to size thirtyeight, that is, it corresponds to part of the relics that are located today on greek territory, that is, the feet of the Apostle Andrew the firstcalled correspond to the fact that his size was indeed size thirtyeight. Ultimately, the examination results are incredible. They said that written in a sedate book, one of the largest medieval monuments of literature, telling about russian history from ancient times to the 15th century. A dignified book is like a set of chronicles, which are arranged in a certain order, they seem to tell the history of the russian state, well, it is illustrated by such chronicle sources, the oldest, right up to the 15th century, when this book. Prayed for the preservation of this city, oh preservation of the people, about the enlightenment of this people of khersanez, and the hard stone became like wax, and his feet were imprinted on the stones; subsequently, many khersenisites came to this place, drew water from his feet and were healed of every ailment. Today , pilgrims with various requests go to the place where the foot was imprinted, as almost 2. 0 years ago. The priests teach everyone who comes to sevastopol and wants to venerate the apostles foot how to do it correctly. People read prayers in the name of father and son, the holy apostles or the holy Apostle Andrew, pray to god for us, be baptized, you know how to be baptized, well its already good, we cross ourselves, we illuminate our mind so that there are no doubts, yes, then we illuminate our stomach, right . There is such a thing, there is, then the right, yes, i will braid the right, so that the right actions are good, and the left ones are also good, it works out, if you connect your heart, then it works out. The priests ask only one thing please do not break off the stones or try to take the pieces with you. The last time i was at this place, i saw a terrifying picture. The inauguration ceremony of the president of the Russian Federation vladimir putin. Live broadcast on may 7. 12 00 moscow time. Khersanez is not the only place in crimea that is associated with the Apostle Andrew. He walked literally the entire peninsula. Based on fragmentary information, it is possible to reconstruct his route. It is believed that andrei originally arrived in panticapium, presentday kerch. Isachet erected a cross. A cruciform structure has now been built on this site. In memory of his stay in these places, near the village of generalskoye, olushkinsky district, the healing spring was named in honor of the apostle aiandriy. Next is the preacher followed the coast towards hersanes. Here, on the approach to sevastopol, near the village of ternovka, there is a monastery. Marmara, my god, poor monks, how they come here, the cave monastery can be seen from below, pilgrims go there on foot, overcoming the steep slopes in a little over an hour, its hard to get here, i wonder what its like to live here, far below. And here it is, chelter marmara monastery, carved right into the karst rock. Who wants to get here, of course, they get there with pleasure, although it can be difficult, but as you yourself have seen, well, its hard work to to get to the top, you have to work hard, its useful for humility, our monastery is located on mount chelter marmara, from the turkic word chelter means lace or lattice, and marmora is the greek marble, marmora. There was a settlement at the foot of the mountain, the greek settlement of mormora, and from the side our mountain looked like marble, why else are there lattice or lace knocked out in the floor here. Please, monastic cell, here is one of the small monastic cells, according to different versions the monastery appeared, either in the 6th century , near the cave where andrei preached firstcalled, one thing i will say is that this earth is already illuminated even by those places, some of which so to speak, the churches where icons are illuminated and so on, are named, Apostle Andrew of the firstcalled, and of course, for us he is very , very important, this saint, Apostle Andrew is of very significant importance; now there is a functioning monastery of st. Sava the sanctified here; it was he who created the monastery in these places many centuries ago. Monastic brothers. Well, they made a grotto specifically for people to relax after a hard, grueling climb, so that people could get up and come to their senses , have a little rest, have a snack and sit somewhere, of course they planted plants to make it more pleasant for people, so that the walls werent bare, it would feel homey, cozy. Maxim came here for the first time several years ago. Came to restore the monastery, surprisingly, he didnt seem to notice the everyday difficulties, fell in love with this place the first time and stayed forever, now, together with the abbot of the monastery, he solves economic problems that modern people dont even suspect about, starting in fact from early autumn, we start heating, that is , heating all our points, potbelly stoves, because the brothers actually live. In conditions from early autumn and one might say until late spring , these rooms need to be heated, therefore , carry firewood, let it into the city from the cliff, then sawing, then chopping, respectively, even sometimes in the summer, when in damp weather we heat the churches so that the icons are more or less preserved, thats why we live, work, and pray like this. The cells where the monks live are located right in the open niches of the rock, for humility, it was normal to have a small space to go in, lie down, sleep, pray, nothing else was needed. The place is ancient, special, and it even seems that prayers said here reach god faster. For example, lyudmilas wish came true 2 months later. After she came here with her lover, when alexey was wounded, after rehabilitation, the question arose about whether he should return, fight back on svo, or live a worldly life. When we visited this monastery, he came out and said listen, he says, i asked the almighty to give me a hint. what to do, and after that we come to moscow after vacation, he receives a proposal to create a volunteer, volunteer detachment at that time, and continue to fight, that is , the answer came in specific actions, on october 14 the banner was lit in alexander. Nevsky cathedral in st. Petersburg, and under this knowledge the detachment has already grown into a brigade, that is, alexey. Very warrior, and i, like any girl, asked the lord god if we were destined to destiny to be together, so that the lord god will decree that our union will take place, thats when alexey already. People come here, of course, not from the street, this is clear, because living in such conditions, praying, working, so close to those ancient conditions, not everyone can do this, mostly people who come here are already tempered in spirit, who have already gone through certain difficulties in life, and who are already resilient. The first christians lived in caves and catacombs, the conditions in which the Apostle Andrew preached were no better; at his advanced age, he traveled thousands of kilometers, setting off towards the unknown. And he wanted to drink, and he wanted to drink, and he wanted to eat, as in human nature, of course, but this is not the feat, the feat is that he was not afraid to go to this barbaric country, where he knows that he can save his life, thats why. To meet all the troubles, sorrows, difficulties, fears, so he showed in his character both fearlessness and courage to move forward, and what was inspiring, he had nothing, he was a simple fisherman was not hardened, not physically, not a warrior, he was moved forward by faith, before. Its author is vadim tsyganov, whose fate amazingly connected him with the apostle from childhood. Apostle andrew the firstcalled, this is my destiny, all my life i wanted to become a fisherman from a very young age. I grew up in ulgodonsk, i never thought who. I will become a fisherman now, of course, this is my image, my beloved, a saint. Vadim is not only an artist, but also a music producer for his wife, singer vika tsyganova, and their meeting also associated with the name of st. Andrew the firstcalled. Vadik and i were also baptized in the church of st. Andrew the firstcalled at the vagankovskoye cemetery, yes. I had another such moment in my life, it was there, then we got married there. On cape fiolent, the Apostle Andrew performed a miracle; with his prayer he destroyed the ancient pagan temple of the virgin, dedicated to the goddess diana, to whom the locals made bloody sacrifices. Here, of course, is the greatness of nature, the greatness of gods creation, it is very visible, the beauty of nature, this is jujube, he attacked. Then the bandits dont gather, you have to force them, but he jujube has another name jojoba, in shampoo, so i read in shampoo, jojoba, i think, god, what is this, beauty is impossible, oh, its a girl, how many fruits, really, you can take a risk, its poisonous itself this wood, with this. They will make a tincture, as far as i know, the main thing is not to bite into the seed, oh well, with one i think i wont die, i have a lot of weight, father alypiy, st. George. St. Andrew the firstcalled lived, today the cave was created church of the nativity. He actually preached here, so he should have visited, fiolentto should also have passed by. The history of the monastery, the establishment of the monastery, dates back to 891, this is practically the end of the 9th century, and the monastery was founded 100 years before the baptism of russia before the baptism of prince vladimir in khersanes. Khersanes is the final point on the path of st. Andrew the firstcalled in crimea, and the first for the holy prince vladimir, the baptist of russia. Beautiful words, this is our story, which continues to this day, on the night of november 2627, 2023, a Natural Disaster raged in crimea, a strong storm destroyed the embankment in sevastopol, trees were felled, roofs were torn off, concrete fencing was washed away by waves, even stones were flying. The embankment of st. Andrew the firstcalled turned into a pile of ruins, among which. On the embankment, well, an idea arose, to create a residential complex that would be connected with this saint, then the russian fleet sailed past, then it really stood there, and people with st. Andrews flags sailed past, some things formed in my head, it means a monument, a church and some kind of village like this for life, it seems to me that people they will become better if a temple is built, the owls improved the embankment, installed. Benches, a childrens playground, i watched with pleasure how people really change. You know, people now come to the monument, people pray, really, i look out the window in the morning, who is jogging, who is walking, stopping, praying, now such noisy groups on the shore have stopped gathering there, as was the case in the beginning, people come, they sit on benches, relax, well, some thoughts probably come to them that are good, but now its no longer possible to carry on there feel as if you were on a wild beach about. Sergei learned the storm from the news. By that time, there was nothing left of the flowerbed benches. Iusov sat and prayed all night so that the monument would be healed. Yes, ive been looking at the camera all night. All this was visible there, i was afraid, frankly, for the monument, i was afraid that it wouldnt stand, well, thank god, you can imagine, not a single stone flew in, didnt damage anything, its a miracle, well, yes, i think so, im probably not an expert in this, it seems to me that its a miracle that this city has literally and figuratively been reborn from the ashes, because during the war rzhev was almost completely. Partisan detachments had pigeons, scouts, demolitionists walked around with pigeons, but why with pigeons, suddenly the radios came out, you will now need to insert them into the correct stand, your hands were made like such a house, thats it where does this expression come from, im in the house, im in the house, guys, im in the house, thats it, one of the main symbols of the city, rzhev, and. The red boots of prince vladimir, you make one boot, i make the second boot, the knot is tied, and one, two, three, and he is thrown up, he falls, two at once, life ours, the premiere, today on the first, hello gelendzhik, look how beautiful the mountains are, the gorgeous coastline, meet the creative lighthouse, for more than 100 years it has never stopped its work. There are nuts, sufofruits, this is a treat for animals, you can give herring a treat, its very hard to surprise, but for me now this is the Biggest Surprise, this is the whole trip, have you tried direction gas . I prepared this wonderful black sea fish for you, and i found gorgeous local veal, ill cook it in the style of bevstroganoff, the premiere of a chef on wheels today. The most famous british fascist , oswald mosley, at the age of 22, became the youngest member of the english parliament. Following musalini, mosley declared Great Britain the heir to great rome, which sounded wild, but he did not even notice it. After the end of the second world war, the french, at least at that time, defeated their internal fascism. But did you cope with it . Clear, dugout, smuklyanka commander, we have long ago learned their favorite songs by heart, what do you play, harp, there is no harp, take a tambourine, we we know everyone by name, grasshopper, romeo and masha, i am a comrade commander, we remember how they flew, caught grasshoppers, eagles, wolves, and how they loved, and as he said. And we remember what these boys did for us, the same fields, roads, villages, uh, no, the air is different, but the sky is bluer and the earth is greener, we will live, we will live, as long as we remember, only old men go into battle, may 9 , after the program, time, and if they give you a division, where is the bololaik on. There are different versions of how the path of the apostle andrei passed after the crimea, according to one of them he walked the path ivoryak to the greeks, but in the opposite direction. Our tale of bygone years introduces a story about the journey of the Apostle Andrew along the road to the greeks, it is included, that is, it is described, albeit from the greeks, first turning to the greeks, and then it is shown how the Apostle Andrew walked back this way from the greeks to the varangians, there are no details of the journey , is told. Apparently, knowing this point, the chronicler further began to connect this with the izvoryaks path to the greeks, but does not name any other points except kiev and novgorod. In the north in those in the lands that would later become novgorod, no material evidence of the apostles journey has been preserved, but st. Andrew the firstcalled was always especially revered in these places. In novgorod, the first temple in the name of st. Andrew the firstcalled appeared in the 11th century. And peter ii, who moved the capital to the north, considered the apostle not only the patron of the fleet, but also his personal one. At the founding of the new capital of st. Petersburg, he laid the foundation. Establishes the oldest and most famous of the russian orders, st. Andrew the firstcalled apostle, it becomes the main order russian empire. At the ends of the order cross are the latin letters c apr. This means sanctus andreus patronus rusia. Saint andrew, patron saint of russia. In ruse we didnt have any orders; there they rewarded people with something, with cups. Something else, but there is no idea of an order. The order was not just, of course, an award, it was a kind of community where people joined, they were called a cavalier of the order, yes, that is, a cavalier, that is, a knight. This highest award could only be received for Extraordinary Services to the fatherland. First fyodor galovin became a knight in 1699. Under his supervision, a system of Diplomatic Missions was created in russia abroad, for which the emperor personally awarded him. Peter ii himself received the award for. It was restored in 1998 and today is the highest state award of the Russian Federation. After completing his mission in the northern lands, andrew the firstcalled went to rome, from there he moved to greece, where in the late sixties of the 1st century he suffered martyrdom and was crucified on an oblique cross. You know when hes modest showed, i would say, the highest point of modesty. When he considered himself, well, like the Apostle Peter in his time, unworthy of them to accept the same martyrdom through crucifixion on the same cross as jesus christ, when i read his walk, i was of course struck by the very moment of his execution, why the st. Andrews cross and has a symbolic name, because it seems to be diagonal, and it resembles the letter ha, christ, yes, he was crucified on exactly such a cross, and the ruler demanded not to nail him down, as in in the case of jesus christ, so that he would not bleed and hang on the cross for as long as possible, but he ordered to simply tie his hands to his feet. For several days he hung on the cross, continuing to preach, because this. These decisions passed through the subtle intricacies of intellectual fabrications of the highlevel clergy, only after that they were approved, then the emperor himself, using perhaps some other historical associations, suddenly made a decision about this. In fact, from 1692 to 1712, peter ii drew eight projects flag, but one thing was. Unchanged, on each of them there was a st. Andrews cross. According to legend, the final version of the flag took shape like this i fell asleep at my desk, when i woke up, we are not born with bast, but dont you think that we have just become people from the villages, if we dont have antiquity itself, we have our own apostle, patron of the Apostle Andrew, this is a hint that the russian tsar is the heir of the byzantine emperor, and that we have, as it were, a single apostle and that he is the patron of all Orthodox Christians in the world, this is the sign of the cross in the form of the letter x, it marked the christian territory that russia united, from distant seas, starting. From the baltic to the pacific ocean, from the northern seas to the southern seas, that is, this is the letter x , such a sign across the whole country, a banner about the christian worldview, the christian state in this territory, which christ accuses, and which accuses the faith of the Apostle Andrew the firstcalled. It was under the st. Andrews flag that russian ships made many geographical discoveries, including the discovery of antarctica in 1820 won many victories. Moscow region, rostov region, crimea, valaam and even the kuril islands. The symbolic circle of history has closed. Once upon a time, the Apostle Andrew the firstcalled installed orthodox crosses in places where centers of orthodoxy later arose crimea, kiev, veliky novgorod, valaam, staraya lataga. Today , worship crosses and monuments to the apostlepreacher himself are already being erected throughout russia, and even though he did not pass through the entire russian land, prayers to the saint are heard in every corner of our large country. Whats in rus christian crosses were erected long before the formation of our state; this predetermined a lot and determined the fate of russia. We are the last stronghold of orthodoxy, as the monks in solovki say, we are the second noahs ark, and russia is the second noahs ark on which we will be saved. Hello country, welcomes you to new voronezh, i really love our small cities, we have passed through almost the entire golden ring. I love st. Petersburg for its beauty and the beautiful neva river. I love my country very much and am proud of it. Literally 200 m from here it originates the great volga river, in fact, is the first city through which it flows. Historians are still arguing about how the name of the city came about; some associate it with rye, because there are many rye fields around. Others claim that it is derived from the word rust, since there are many swamps nearby and the water there is rusty. Well, the latest version is related to horse neighing. Friends, i think you guessed it. Im in rzhev, and this is the life of my own. You feel real strength and power. Of course, i would be familiar with ivan klatkevich, a participant in the battle of rzhev, who is already 100 years. I poured behind the machine gun and started shooting. Or i could sit with a fishing rod all day in the hope of catching a rare seliger eel. Well , run your nose with something and see if it smells like smoke and algae . Yes, if i lived in orzhev, i could work at one of the largest factories in the city. Take me to the factory. Im ready for free on weekends, the metal would rock, because only here the ancient game of ryuha, which is thousands of years old, has been preserved. I wanted it to be better, but it turned out as always. Following the example of the voronov family, kuzmenko would raise a whole kindergarten. Guys, shall we take it . Yes, hurray, im in the family. And sometimes i would become a real warrior of the 19th century, i kicked my shield in the foot, but whoever i was, a reenactor or a fisherman, a famous pigeon keeper throughout the city or a master of sewing branded red boots, i would live in a cozy and sincere city , next to persistent people, this small provincial town is famous throughout russia, we. Came, no, not to a museum, to visit an amazing person. Oleg oleynikov has been working for 17 years in swamps, forests and fields, he searches for equipment from the times of the great patriotic war, and then restores it. For example, he found this zis3 cannon near orzhevo in the village of olenino. Well, look how wonderful the weapon looks now after the master worked on it. This is a german machine gun, mg34, it had a high rate of fire, up to 1. 0 rounds per minute. They were installed as well as on armored vehicles, in tanks, they were installed and well, also in the infantry, oleg oleinikov restores all the exhibits of his museum with his own hands. This spatula was found in the attic, you can see the mark of 1941, the kamintern plant was accepted, all the blades, they were sharpened, they could be dug and, well, naturally, as a weapon, say, in close, handtohand combat. An unpleasant weapon in the hands of a soviet soldier, this is the pppsh or it is called the shpagin submachine gun, 72 rounds, compared, for example, with its competitor the german mp38 mp40, which has only 38 rounds, it has double capacity, and the germans, the germans, by the way, loved pops, they could be fired either in bursts or single shots, here here they switch singles and yes, but the most important exhibit in this museum is the tank. The tank, in general, was very badly damaged; it took me about two years to, so to speak, bring it to this running condition. Is he on the move now . Yes, this is a fully operational tank. You feel real strength and power. Taking with us an ultrasensitive detector, oleg and i went into the forest. What are the most interesting finds you have had over the last year, spoons, forks, personal belongings there, i found an ashtray, i found a flask, a soldiers too, its on directly, the socalled trench creativity, they depicted some drawings on them, there are names there, how do your loved ones feel about your hobby . Yes, in general, thats enough, ive gone crazy, ive lost my mind, right . Its okay, the main thing is that its nearby, here somewhere in this place theres something else, here it is, you see, here it is, you see that theres foil, well, foil, foil, yes, its at least german production, well, you have to look at this, after 2 hours of searching we were able to find only shell casings and a fuse for the fuse, it seemed that there wont be any big finds today, suddenly. Its better not to thresh too much, because you never know what might be there, so yes , it happens sometimes, oh, oh, look, yes, these, these are clearly cartridges, these, well, yes , such a tired shutter from the bridge. There were practically no surviving veterans of the battle. In 1943 , Ivan Evgenievich kladkevich was only 19 years old, but today he is already 100. Everyone is smart, there are few left who can say something. Ivan evgenievich volunteered for the front. There were thousands of us who they checked to the front, not i alone, but there were thousands of such people who. Go defend your homeland, tell us about the battle of rzhev, i wrote in a book, described one battle in the books, it was february 22, 1943, we went on the offensive, seven machinegun belts loaded, ready for battle, thats when we approached the front line, one of the bombs exploded near ours. And two of my boys were killed halfway, but i was seriously wounded, my legs were broken, but i was in a state of shock, i didnt feel this pain, i didnt feel it, and i lay down behind the machine gun started shooting when i was shooting, again i lost knowledge, and the company commander. A generation fought for the homeland so that we all live happily today, do you feel like you are 100 years old, or in your head are you still a young twentyyearold guy . Yes, you see, im still talking to you quite soberly, i understand everything, in this place during the great patriotic war. Real miracles happened, but firstly, not a single shell and not a single bomb, although rzhev was almost completely destroyed, well secondly, another miracle happened, you and i are in the church covering the most holy theotokos, which was built at the beginning of the 20th century in 1910, since then it has continued its activities almost continuously, here in the life of prayer. How did it happen that in the thirties, when the temples were actually being destroyed, this one was not touched. As i understand it, this temple is associated with some miracles. The history of our temple really has several key points like this, when they tried to close the temple in 1929 when the Community Stood up. They took the keys out of the temple safe, handed them over and said thats it, follow the laws, pray, we dont mind. But the most amazing thing happened at the moment when the germans, retreating, left the city. And here in the temple the last surviving inhabitants were imprisoned. The temple was mined, prepared for an explosion, someone, someone, perhaps even overcoming this kind of alienation to faith. It means i understood that now they are all sitting here, only the lord knows what will happen, only the lord in the right to change something, at dawn on march 3, a Reconnaissance Group of soviet troops penetrated the city, they found these people, they opened the doors and ours, these exhausted people, believed and did not believe, and life went on, in fact, thats it from here, from this temple, from its walls, the revival of rzhev, well, it began, on the day of victory on the first. Moscow, red square, the main parade of the country. More will take place in the solemn march. Units of various types of weapons and equipment. Military parade dedicated to the 79th anniversary of the victory in great patriotic war. May 9 at 10 00 moscow time. Live, on the first. You had the great honor of flying out to carry out the first bomb attack on military installations and government institutions in the capital of the nazi reich. the flight is difficult, at the maximum altitude, choose the most intelligent ones, we are sure that everyone can withstand this, it will take a long time to fly, a long time, the day after tomorrow release, choose, you will go with me, the cars are old, the engines are all worn out, these planes of yours, they are generally will they reach berlin . Commander, i see fighters, lets get ready for battle, lets give the german bastard a light, hit, hit, 1941, wings over berlin, look at the time after the program, commander, i see berlin, on the day of victory on the first. Grigory koltegin, senior lieutenant, unit commander, we are our own men, but in an extreme situation, instinct will always tell you the right decision. Agent name czech, rank classified, position years old. Ryan, you have kids, there are enemies. Alexey bobrikov, junior sergeant, volunteered for the front. Lets look. Leonid shela, junior sergeant, excellent in combat training, tell me when, where and by whom you were recruited, so, a very Serious Mission is being prepared, a saboteur, the legendary beginning of history, spotted, traitors, the main task is to liquidate him, machine, add two knots, we are through we must be there for an hour. Who can go on a mission with us . To the eightieth anniversary of the liberation of crimea from the nazi invaders. Saboteur. Crimea. This means we have 5 minutes to remember the card. May 9, on the first. This plant appeared here back in 1943, to by that time, the soviet army had already won the battle of kursk and stalingrad, and also liberated the tver region, which, frankly, was very much destroyed, so the appearance of the new plant became a symbol of revival, the country was heading for a peaceful life. Olga vintovaya, who works more at this enterprise, agreed to become my guide around the plant. Chassis, wheeled and tracked frames are assembled here. You know, friends, i looked at the assembly of an escavator and it somehow reminded me of sewing clothes. First, a pattern is made, according to metal is cut out with it, and then welded at the seams. But lets say how long the process of assembling one excavator is. One excavator takes three days to assemble, from the very beginning to the very end. Wow, how many are produced per year . Now there are a thousand excavators, both wheeled and. Well, i hope i wont break them. After all, it s moving, so, lets try to turn around, oh, yes, im sure all the men are jealous of me now, at least my son, who also has an excavator, but not the same as mine, is definitely jealous, take me to the factory. Im ready free of charge, well, in conclusion, heres what i would like to say here they produce not only excavators, but also municipal equipment that drives, removes garbage, snow, so thanks to the plant for our clean streets. Do you know that rzhev has been called the dove heart of russia since ancient times. Here, back in the 15th century , a unique breed was bred the rzhev ribbon thurman. He is very beautiful and behaves unusually in flight. During the fascist occupation , most of the particles were destroyed, and the rest were taken abroad. But there was a man who returned this symbol of peace to the city. In in partisan detachments there were pigeons, scouts, demolition men walked with pigeons. Their population is actively restoring, yes, my friend, they are restoring, they found you no longer left, but here on this dovecote there is a girlfriend, or you are, girlfriend, okay, fly, and what are the options, well, to understand the dove, when the dove calls, he so this is the sound. This means come home, i ll turn on the series, but ive already made pasta, he s cooing, that means differently, he doesnt tell me, he asks me, how do you determine who is a girl, who is a boy, i i say, the girls smile at me, tourists, students and children with their parents often come to evgeniy stepanovich, they come not only to admire. Evgeny zverev keeps a special notebook where he writes down who visited his dovecote when, and guests, in turn, can leave a review. Whoever is happy, i am happy, because i am not lazy, i may be small in stature, but i am open in soul, and i will fly this wing, i want to live with pigeons, i want to be happy. Sergey smirnov, part composer. 566 visits, 3,953 people. Im sorry, but. Now 567, we here too, i wrote a message for evgeniy stepanovich, the simple fact is that he does not accept money from his visitors, he simply asks them to write some kind words. When you drive around the tver region, right on the highway you come across these stalls, they sell jam, pickles, mushrooms, but the most important thing is, of course, fish, there is pike perch, perch, rudd, and rare vendace, but of course, the main hit is the famous seliger eel, there is raw eel, but there is not much of it, and we save these eels we cook to order, that is, when a person needs it, he calls us. Warns us and we cook, hello, hello, whats your name . Zhanna, zhanna, hello, can i order eel, please, yes, please, thats it, you see, i ordered eel, thats it, everything is wonderful, okay, here we have a fisherman standing, you can ask, he will tell you everything about the eel, of course i would , well, i would advise you to take a fresh one, smoke it and try it yourself. Yuri puzyryov told me that previously there was more gryanno seliger, but today there is almost none left, to catch such a fish. Ill be honest, i was just ready to run after work, grabbing fishing rods for seliger, we take alchowood firewood, chop it smaller, if you want, try it yourself, how can we understand that the firewood inside is ready to accept eel . Smoke will come out from under the lid. This is a hot smoking process, we will wait, time has passed, the fishermen hope that someday there will be a lot of eel in seliger again, by the way, fry of carp and pike perch are already being released into the lake, well, our delicacy is ready, time to try it, its amazing, with black bread guys, cut it out camera, fly over, people settled on the territory of modern rzhev a very long time ago, back in the 8th century the slavic tribe of krivichi settled here, and the first mention in the chronicle dates back to the 11th century, they fought here regularly, hop, thats who we know when, lets try to find out today. So denis, with whom did they mainly fight here on orzhev land, who attacked . We had lithuanians, moscow kuljazhestvo was at the end, well, tver, how long did a real fight last on average, well, according to historians, the fate of a person there is two, maximum three blows they all hit because its just hard anymore. You get tired, you get tired, thats it, two hits, then they go apart, a pretty heavy shield, if were talking about complete deception, how much can it tell, well, for our period, somewhere, probably, well, a kilogram, even if its 30, 30 kg. Well, with everything there with weapons and shields, oh my god, they were probably just such jocks, and the hat is knocked off, that means everything is fine, the reenactors make almost all the armor and all the weapons themselves, the best knitters were men from the middle ages, but they didnt knit warm lights, and the most real combat chain mail, the process is certainly not quick, but on the other hand , they didnt show their lives back then. The guys simply had no choice. Deniss likeminded person, alexander ivanov, is responsible for the historical accuracy of the costumes. Accordingly, we take the wire and begin to rotate this thread, if we manage to keep the turn of the turn in the region of 130 rings. And if we are talking about finished chain mail, you need about 1520,000 rings, thats enough. Sasha, how much do you think chain mail could cost on average, then i cant say about chain mail, but in some source i read that, for example, a warriors war horse was worth a village with its inhabitants, that is, in essence, each warrior can be compared to a modern tank, a tank is the nobility, not ordinary people, not just people were that we needed to make a ring, where its ends pass each other so that it is possible. Rivet, yes, you still need to drill each ring, yes, my god, in ancient times, pierce it, a completely working ring that can become part of the chain mail, oh my god, how painstaking it is. Since the 12th century, City Residents have venerated the holy prince vladimir of rzhevsky, why . Yes, because as soon as danger arose, vladimir came and defended the city. In gratitude for this , every evening people presented him with a special gift, these were red boots. In the morning, by the way, they were always found trampled. Residents of rzhev are still confident that saint vladimir protects their city. Well, thats probably why they continue to sew beautiful clothes. Already an interior story made of leather, these are the dumped boots, and if anyone wants, you can make these small ones and carry them with you, light, sofyan, what is it, this type is goatskin, yeah, very expensive, thats why the princes boots were made from sofyan leather, we have two boots, you make one boot, the second ill make the shoe, well get a pair. The difference, i think, is that, because then we will mount the lights, shell just hem everything neatly, and ill pretend that im such a good guy, so that our boots will hold tighter and not tear, well use a loop seam, but of course , i i thought so, a knot was tied, a knot. Well, boots, its time for us to say goodbye, i hope that after i leave you here, the city will have another warrior defender. The tver region is amazing; they not only believe in legends, but preserve unique traditions that existed a thousand years ago. This is a vita for playing ryuhi, this is an ancient slavic game that was especially popular here in the tver region, now i will learn to play it, well, ryuhi is a russian folk game, why is this the name of ryukha, a piece cut off from a tree, called ryukhryushka, thats where the name of ryukha came from, yes, these are the bits that we are bits. Ryukhi is traditionally played by two teams america and kustka. America, america, america are our enemies. I say, you see, half of america used to be russian, ostashkava had its own america, this is how america goes. Kustka, there is a blacksmith street, blacksmiths lived there, and here there was a huge Meat Processing plant from tsarist times, here it was all called america. Ill be 76 in 3 weeks, and im still throwing myself, he also saw when stalin was being kept, as if thats why he himself was present at it, i really liked it, i dont understand why no one plays this wonderful old russian game in our yards, its very cool, it develops strength, accuracy, and team spirit, of course, please come and play, what to hang out with, we have been playing this game since childhood. They followed us to school, it was fun, harmonica, it was like there was a real holiday here, hello gelendzhik, look how beautiful the mountains are, the gorgeous coastline, meet the creative lighthouse, more for 100 years he never stopped his work, there are nuts, sufofruits, this is a treat for animals, you can treat it, its very difficult to surprise with herring, but. For me now this is the Biggest Surprise of the whole trip, have you tried pylengas . Yes, i prepared this wonderful black sea fish for you, and i found gorgeous local veal, cooked in the bevstroganoff style, premier, cooks on wheels, today on the first day, these are miracles, blessed matrons, i always. I carry an icon with me, here i have petals, the matron is very petal many are healed, we came precisely for this, so that she would help us in our personal lives, those who protected her and took care of her came up with the idea that she was from a very poor family, its not true, those who have something that hurts, stand with a request and ask, i dont i know how to do it correctly, i address it as best i can, the matron was not born into a large family, because at the time the matron appeared. I cant say that i believed in it so boundlessly, but i simply admitted that it could be , here in may we got a mother, some kind of divine providence, well they just stood before the night and i mentally turned to the matron in my thoughts, i said, look, holy matron, come to me as if alive, today on the first day, nikulinas mother annavanna. I came to her, she stroked me on the head and said you will never have a headache again, and having lived for 96 years, she now realized that i was with the matron, what did this nazarov know that he was so brutally tortured, i will find this arsonist, i promise you, why am i a photograph . Find, distribute to all posts and guards, order to take alive, okay . According to the laws of war, new episodes, tomorrow after the program time. Uncle egor, i saw how Svetlana Petrovna was loaded into a car by two men with pistols and drove away. The option that i offer you is the best, 10 km from the city, and they will provide care at the highest level. we have prepared our best apartments for you, no hint of a hospice or almshouse. You can get an autograph, i admire it from a young age, an autograph, the actress and her relatives give a double rate, the femme fatale, i would say bitch, and you are a believer, a lifelong atheist, and in general there is nowhere to leave samples, again for the old one, yes, mom, youre sick, well, somehow you come to your senses already, they decided to hit me in the face, until you decided, you take me by the hand, and take me out into the courtyard, ill sneak in your limousine and were going, where to europe, if your mother. Wanted a boy, we should probably just be happy for her, i dont want you to repeat my mistakes, anna andreevna, im not alphonse, youre daydreaming, animator may 10 at the first, and you know that anima is the soul of latin, now we are going to visit an amazing family with so many children that if they suddenly all decide to go on vacation together, they will have to buy out almost the entire compartment of the train. Meet my mother, elena kuzmenka, standing in the garden, dressed in rags, not cold, lowly, not afraid, well done, girls, breakfast, school, children, everything, and we come home and do household chores, when i came home, and guys, you towards, shouting, mom, mommy, hugs, all the fatigue remains there outside the door, here the real, honest life begins, they live with their parents 11 children, the rest are grown. They come only on weekends, you know, friends, i grew up alone, i was always in charge of large families, it seemed to me that if you have a lot of brothers and sisters, then life is somehow more fun, or something, say, at school, but lets say, here you are someone offends, my brothers stand up for me, they dont offend me, i chased everyone in the third, in the first grade, they dont touch me, it s just these ones, we stand up for them. If you had a chance to choose, you live with your mom, dad, you have no brothers and sisters, or do you live, this is how you live, with the whole family, why, because if we live alone, then we will not be interested , we will be bored, is there any secret . In order to quickly make peace, pray to god, for example, kiss , come up, and hug. In this family, children practically do not quarrel, and if it happens, the reason must be very serious. How do you distribute the bikes, or does everyone have their own bike . Everyone has their own bike, whoever breaks it takes turns. And often you have to, so to speak, change with someone. They dont give it, naturally, i was interested in how much food is needed to feed such a crowd, a huge stick of sausage, and how many days does it take to destroy it, in the first half of the day, yes, yes, yes, yes, we really love cottage cheese, yeah , yes, milk, this is absolutely wonderful, what else do you prefer, i see you have this homemade stew here, apparently, yes, well, yes, this is when you need to cook something quickly in a hurry, when there is no time, when there is no time, it means business. Everything is fine with good quality meat, which we have in the freezer. It is from this meat that today we will make the signature dish of the kuzmenko voronov family, manti. Look how many girls can do this. Why would you disgrace something masculine . I will now make manti for all men. So, a kilogram of meat is more than garlic. A born cook, a born montalep, a leptomancer, last question, children, do you love mom and dad, right . Of course, so now who can answer for what . That we are a family and should love each other, but we need to love just like that, and not for something. So, the manti are ready and you can sit down at the table. Today the hosts have the main dish, and we have dessert. Guys, shall we take it . Hurray, im in the family. Today we met a truly unique one. Here they work together, relax together, look after the household together. Perform, guys, everything is ready, start the plywood, and so you are still singing live, no, what can you say, the maximum concentration of talent for every square millimeter, we started, we can, the city of rzhef is a city of military glory, the city of rzhef is our land, all around centuriesold oak groves, there are floods around. Bordja in the valor of the russian state, and so it was, so it will be in the future, the city is already, the city of military glory, the pride of the motherland, the russian hole, zhigin, zhilin, zherlitsy, zvyagin. There were photographs, real photographs of the battle of orzhev, well, a soldier, some portraits, i took different parts of the face from different soldiers, i took lips from some, eyes from others, nose from others, so some in the literal sense of the word , the result was a collective image, and indeed, in this soldier, probably every resident, not only of rzhev, but of all russia, can recognize his grandfather or greatgrandfather. The soviet soldier literally floats in the air, his height is 25 m, his weight is 80 tons. Nearby are the famous lines of alexander tvordovsky from yaobitpodorzhevoy. We fell for our homeland, but it was saved. I was killed while on the road, in a nameless swamp, in the Fifth Company on the left, during a brutal raid. I heard a burst, i did not see that flash, as if into an abyss from a cliff, and neither the bottom, nor the tire, and in this whole world, until the end of its days, neither the buttonhole, nor the stripe from my tunic, i am where the blind roots are looking for food in the darkness , i, where with a cloud of dust, a face walks on the hill, i, where the cock crows at dawn, as your cars tear the air on the highway, among the voiceless dead. There is only one consolation we fell for our homeland, but it is saved. This city was literally and figuratively reborn from the ashes, because during the war rzhe was almost completely wiped off the face of the earth. It was revived by people who were strong in spirit, people who remember and carefully preserve the history of their land. They understand that a big homeland begins with a small one, you looked at your life, my name is evgeniy krivtsov, well see you, as always, at the first. Solemn ceremony of inauguration of the president of the Russian Federation vladimir. Live broadcast on may 7 at 12 00 moscow time. Hello
