Lermontov, and even wrote an entire opera, the ghosts of ellada, which was staged on the stage of the torus peoples house, in tarusa, it was performed, and so to speak, we have before we have received the score of the ghosts of ilada, so we also sometimes performed it at the tula drama theater, at the kaluga drama theater, and the most grandiose collection in the museum is the collection of paintings, of course, but here it is very. Interesting is also the fact that almost all the works these are donations, that is , few purchased, these are friends, students, colleagues, they brought them to exactly like a museum, but on the contrary, i want to tell a story about a purchased item, in the largest room of the museum library, which is what we were talking about now, of course the key takes up space raven by Viktor Mikhailovich vosnitsov, this is a stunning panel, a stunning panel, written based on lermontovs poem desire, why am i not a bird, not a steppe raven, flying over me now, vasily dmikovich polenov saw this picture just at a traveling exhibition, and knew that Viktor Mikhailovich vasnetsov, his student, will definitely give it to him, well, he really liked it, he paid attention to this canvas, but at the same time he seemed to wait for Viktor Mikhailovich. Didnt find out about it and bought this painting because he said that the highest praise for a student will be that the teacher purchased his work, Viktor Mikhailovich vasnetsov said this when he finally found out that polenov bought this work, yes, there really is a collection of the polenov museum, it consists of, many things were donated, for example, there is such a picture, abramtsev ilya efim cherepin, it is depicted there. The collection that polenov collected either from gifts from his students, or even artists had such, there was such a tradition of exchanging works they liked, that is, if they liked some works, they could change, but vasily dmirievich polenov decided to buy a crow to support his student, but one can say that the star of this collection is the Golden Autumn of khristopateynaya, but polenov himself wrote it, no one gave it to him, and we are comparing landscapes today, one might say. You arrive, when you look to see if anything has changed, there s bekhova over there, by the way, in my opinion, you can see it, yes, this is exactly bekhova, and theres also an old wooden church, this is before it was built, polenov seemed to have built the church in 1905, heres the new one there was a stone church that we we now know and which we see now on this hill, this is a podcast with precious history, and today we are talking about the museum of the estate of vasily dmitrovich polenov. They told the crocodile, there is also a cannon, it is so surrounded by a collection of sabers, which, on the one hand, were a prop for painting some pictures for you, on the other. Sides are props for staging, well, performances, but there is this cannon, which was most likely used for fireworks, a small one for the holidays, but there is also a unique saber, you told me, and this the unique saber was given by the montenegrin governor mashvorbitsa, vasily dmitrovich polenov, as if at the time of the turkishserbian company in which polenov participated, polenov volunteered for the front. This is already in the russianturkish company in the russianturkish company, when, as it were , the turkishserbian one had already passed into the russianturkish one, and there, again, we spoke with you at the same headquarters there was grand Duke Alexander alexandrovich, who later became alexander ii, their Good Relationship may have played some role later in purchase, but they knew each other since childhood, because Vera Nikolaevna vaeikova is the widow of alexei vasilyevich vaeikova and the grandmother, grandmother of the polenov children. She had a certain status as the widow of a hero of the war of the year 12 and in general, so to speak, a grand lady, as i said, thats why it allowed her and her grandchildren to relax in Tsarskoye Selo in the summer, and the polenov children played on the same playground, also with the imperial family , so there are also memories of this and polenov himself remembers this and remembers his son also talks about this, so they had contact from a very early age. But we will not forget to say here that we have already said that he volunteered, then it was called the russianserbianmontenegrin war, and actively participated in the battles, has military, welldeserved military awards, and here we have them , this serbian such is the cross, and yes. Well, as we would say now, yes, he worked as a special correspondent for the illustrated magazine bee, if we take the binder, yes, if we take a file for those years of this illustrated magazine bee, there are a lot of military sketches by vasily dmikovich polinov, there are convoys with the wounded, but these are pencil sketches, there is not a single large painting in the spirit of vereshchagin. What i want to say about why he didnt depict the horrors of war, well, firstly, because vasilyich, after all, had a different credo, he was a landscape painter and we know very well his wonderful lifeaffirming paintings, the moscow courtyard, his grandmothers garden, Golden Autumn, overgrown pond, yes, even all the paintings of the gospel cycle, they tell us about humanism, about goodness, about christian humility and, so to speak, some. And polenovskayas palette speaks about the joy of life, so i specially brought a small quote, its just, so to speak , excuse me that i dont read it by heart, this is one of the most famous statements of vasily dmitrich polenov, but i will let you quote it in full, because it answers this question. Polenov says it seems to me that art should give happiness and joy, otherwise it is worth nothing. There is so much hardness in life, so much vulgarity and filth. That if from the pictures we are completely doused with horrors and atrocities, it will become almost impossible to live, so it seems to me that this is, so to speak, life position. First of all, since i came from the tula region, i came with my samovar, here i have it, and its not just a samovar, its a historical samovar, it generally accompanies several generations of the polenov family, so to speak, it is believed that what is this that samovar, its completely unique, its called a spider, we restored it a little, it was cleaned, so to speak, there are already such modern wooden parts, and it was cleaned, but in general its a unique samovar, they say, they say that its just accompanied vasily Dmitrievich Polenov during his balkan campaign, that is, he was, well, like a thermos, but in general it is believed that he accompanied vasily Dmitrievich Polenov during his balkan campaign, but he definitely accompanied his son dmitry during the first world war, he took part, the son of Vasily Polenov also took part in the battles, for which. Let them come more, but this picture depicts the nile, and its also not in this smaller, shortened version, but vasilyevich polenov, you know, he really as if he was a passionate traveler, a passionate collector, a wonderful artist, he was such a man of renaissance scope and an intellectual, he spoke six languages, he had a huge library, he himself read the goethas, schiller in the originals, translated and so on. And of course, finding himself in the twenties, at the end of the twenties, where he found himself, in the province, deep in the province in the village, he saw what, well, the low level of education among people, including children, and he decided, came up with this one a wonderful educational project to simply expand the boundaries of the imaginary, visible, known, to show the world, the world, to show children the world. Now he was almost 80 years old, one might say, when he painted this diorama, this is a whole series of paintings of a trip around the world. We will see, and then we return to polenovo again to the hearth, to the performance of the new year tree, again we sit by the polenovsky fireplace. Well, when polinov showed his diorama, it certainly wasnt 15 minutes, because only in the picture is latin america, he completely read the song about hiawatha langella, for example, in the picture of venice, he gave a huge lecture about who the venetian arches are , that is, his diorama text was , of course, like a real educational one. But the children of the late twenties in these villages, where there was no school, no education, no light, no food, nothing, no water, well, well, nothing, in general, they sat and fascinated, listened to this, and even in felt boots in sheepskin coats from the cold, in felt boots in sheepskin coats, polin himself was in felt boots in a sleigh with a horse, so he harnessed the horse, sat down in the sleigh, put this magic box of his with two candles there, his legs were very swollen. Very much, he was already very sick, they cut his felt boots, so he came to this village, showed this diorama, and there is even such a story, its true, its also written down that at the end of such a session, when he showed all this, told all this, read a song about langellas gayawat, a little boy came up to him and handed him a tiny homemade white bun and paid him for this show with this white bun in the hungry twenties. Paid him and said eat, vasily dmich, thank you very much. natasha, well, you can talk about polenov at any time, without any informational reasons, but here we also have an anniversary. Yes, this year polenov turns 180 years old. Well, you put on your belt, walked up to him, but we are always ready for anything, of course, but i just brought the catalog of the exhibition that just opened in samara. Why dont you ask in samara . I answer this question. Omsk, yekaterinburg, vladivostok, there are very good collections there, magnificent collections, when magnificent collections were distributed in the twenties, moreover, i ll tell you, not just magnificent collections, from irkutsk for the first time, well, almost in 100 years, that is, in 1928 the irkutsk art gallery received a huge painting of christ and the sinner, well, a slightly smaller copy, but by and large, in general, there it is more than two and a half meters by. Two and more meters e christ and the sinner, it arrived in 1928 in 2024 for the first time it left the walls of the irkutsk museum for that , to go to samara for the man of light exhibition for the 180th anniversary of vasily Dmitrievich Polenov, here is a wonderful catalog published by the samara people, in general, i congratulate them on this unique project, this is exactly the irkutsk thing, well, which, in general, completely repeats the imperial thing and. Congratulations to them on this a wonderful project, this is how we open polenovs year, in the summer there will definitely be some events at our estate, and there will be a festive evening in moscow, in tula, and the end of the year, i hope, if everything goes well, we will close in the seaside art gallery , also retrospectives of vasily dmivich polenov in the far east, you watched the podcast precious history, my name is ekaterina varkan, our guest today is natalya polenov, the greatgranddaughter of the great russian artist.

Odintsov and his deputy here. Understood. No, urgently, tell me, if some kind of failure occurs in production, who can fix it, except odintsov, but it depends on what stage the failure is at, each workshop has a technological map of only their stages, they do not know what processes happen before and after them in order to maintain secrecy, who knows details of the whole process . The complete technological process for the production of balistite gunpowder is known only to one.

Semyon vladimirovich, allow me, great, come in, now all roads are being checked for vehicles leaving the city, but they could have gotten through earlier, or hidden it somewhere in the city, now they are finding out the recipe for gunpowder, could odintsov himself have participated in his abduction . Why does he need it . He was guarded all the time he was not allowed out of the factory, so the only option was on the way to the airfield.
