this path stretched from the baltic to the mediterranean sea, well, the word kaop itself is translated as tork, well, or fair, oh, look, these local residents, peace to you, dear guests, hello to you, they came for the intar, and for him too, behind him too, we are now right in the fort vikings, yes, in a settlement where the vikings really guarded, a rich place, a viking, no, i’m from novgorod, from ladoga, a frequent visitor already, i practically live here, i trade in amber, which i take... here, but also take to novgorod, although of course, they were mostly transported much further south, where it’s more expensive, but we also have decent prices for amber, well, at least show us , gild the handle, and oh, such a beauty, oh, and if you also process it, freshly caught, true , for some reason the local beauties don’t wear an entar, but it’s lying under their feet, but in novgorod, that’s what they have, yes, oh, but ladaga novgorod, there are beads there, oh, i’ll sell them. 10 times more expensive, so far away,

they came only to trade, of course, but what did you think, especially as a warrior, i’m good, and i have my own small squad, i need to protect it. the settlement of kaop, not far from kaliningrad, is like a big decoration, through the gates, as if through centuries, here are the guards. here are the merchants, here are

the strangers, it’s even strange that in local swimming pools and horchevnyas they accept rubles, and not thalers. what is interesting here, tell us about the place, just like an ordinary settlement, be sure to a forge, or an armory , where weapons are stored, the place must protect itself, naturally, a long house, when the squad came, you could relax, organize feasts and so on, yeah, they know how to walk, walk, of course, and drink mead, as is customary in russia , especially since the local residents. oh, the locals have three wives, can you imagine what a kind viking, as i understand it, i’m one of them now, beautiful, beautiful, you can’t say anything, and dear, look, what fibls are different than the men here, like usually do they shoot with a bow, throw axes, prepare for hikes, for new ones, fight with balls, of course, how could we do without it, just what we love.

since i’m wearing an old scandinavian outfit, then call me marna now , i’m entering women’s territory to find out what... good afternoon, hello, i’m the mistress of this house, that is, we’ll be viking wives, yes, first of all my gaze fell, of course, on the outfits, yes, these are slavic viking wives, this one, listen, i look completely different, well, because you are scandinavian origin, and this is slavic. for them, blue was typical , such a slav loved red, because red is beautiful, and you have red and blue, i’m also a scandinavian, only from a different region, yeah, that’s why you and i, that’s why you and i have slightly different costumes , yeah, these earrings are

a distinctive feature of the slavs, yes of course, since you and i have different costumes in terms of cut, the slavs had them different from... temple rings, navigation, war, trade, this is what the vikings lived by, by the way , to russia they didn’t make raids, rather they were invited here as crisis managers to help with management, they paid well, and there were bonuses, they willingly married slavic women, and where did they get the fabrics, because the fabrics are very chic, i’m here, here are the ordinary woolen weaves of saime , so silk was imported from the east, so silk. from the east, it’s very expensive, well, naturally, the vikings were very rich, but those who were poorer could also decorate their clothes, you can now try this too, put stamps on it so that it’s at least a little decorate, with pleasure, lubricate

the stamp a little, but the main thing is not to overdo it , these were some, let's say, specially trained needlewomen, or everyone could ... do it for themselves, yeah, put it in, oh, those with all your heart with a hammer, the table will not collapse , no, with all my heart, so with all my heart, oh, wow, look, the first one is ready, and now imagine that you need 10 m a day, while the ladies master the hammer with stamps,

and this counts, that medieval drutik, let's get acquainted, this is pavel, bang, bang, jarl of the settlement of kaupa, jarl is the head, it turns out that the ax is the main weapon of a viking, why? firstly, it’s light and effective, secondly, it’s a matter of economy, it requires less metal than a sword, to throw, we’ll learn, accordingly, take it in hand, throw, throw, why not. it’s a very convenient thing, we grab it by the edge and, accordingly, take a comfortable position and throw it at the target, wow, the first time, well , i think you can do it too, well, i’m afraid i won’t be able to do it so cleverly, suddenly, suddenly,

a born viking , it is not known what good the hatchet is, even if you hit it with a butt, it it will still hurt, well, yes, even if he doesn’t break through the armor, it will hurt. oh, i told you, welcome to our ranks, well, that’s it, now i’m a viking, the viking

wives are skilled ladies, they will help with the housework and raise the children, and in general they are on you with feminism, they easily took on men’s responsibilities. hello, hello, the news has reached me that you also hire women as blacksmiths, of course we do. female blacksmiths generally do an excellent job and have done it before, that is, these are the same women who are called sultry, yes, yes, in the early middle ages we we know that women were engaged in all crafts, even war, well then let’s get down to business, but i just needed an apprentice, get up here, now wait, pay attention to your expensive fur coat, but it won’t be of any use to me here, get up here, take it for two handles of bellows, in turn one, two, one, two, you and i will now make a nail,

when you are tormenting in zelenogradsk, be sure to slow down and stop, take a look at the garbage museum, no, here you won’t find landfills, you won’t feel any unpleasant smell, you’ll just be surprised how our everyday waste can begin to live in a new way, remember how in that song, i blinded him from that , what happened, this is about the same illustration, here are five thousand exhibits made, well , literally from what you can find under... your feet, and you know, the expression garbage art is already taking on a completely

different meaning. hello olga, cozy dump. very nice to hear, yes indeed our museum was created in order to draw attention to garbage and change attitudes towards it. this is our bathtub, and you see that it is completely made of things that once served their original purpose, now they serve in the form of this. a convertible made from really unnecessary things, and if we say, pay attention, this is a drum from a washing machine, from a washing machine, yes, a tank from...

a little bit of garbage, but this is just the beginning, more in showrooms, here it is itself the word trash is losing its negative connotation, yes you are look, these were once ordinary bottles, if you want to drive your vestibular apparatus crazy, then you should definitely visit the pisa room here, this is... an incredible thing, our eyes see everything in one, so to speak, dimension, but , but everything seems to be happening in something else, and here you can also try to perform that very famous dance element of the famous performer, oh, where i

’m going now, there’s another one here, amazing. so, no, no, lord, i’ve already hit something, there’s an amazing one here attraction, it's called hang through the looking glass, or feel like alice through the looking glass, remember, yes, like in this fairy tale, you need to be as careful as possible, museum staff advise you to come here with outstretched arms, so as not to bump into your reflection and kiss yourself . so, that ’s what i was talking about, i almost kissed myself, i’ll try to count the number of my reflections, and come on, 1, 2, 3,8, 45, that’s how

it goes. into one room and you see 45 yourself, but now how to get out of here, and here, that’s why you need to walk, hold your hand, oh, it seems to me that i see a door, here it is, well, finally, i’m out of here. what shall we play, guess the melody? come on, i'll guess this melody from the seven trumpets, come on! well, this is tereverdiev,

right? position number two, thematic, and a song, in general, about how wonderful it is to be a linograd cat? well done! and on this musical note we go to the city of cats of cats in zelenogradsk. go! go! it is less than 30 km from the regional capital to telinogradsk, so you can easily leave in the morning and spend here in the afternoon we will return to kaliningrad in the evening,

well, we finally got there. the historical appearance of which has been preserved almost 100%, yes, and also my powers of observation tell me that that drop there, you see, it shows specifically the angles that are needed, the most successful angles for a selfie, and for a selfie. come on, get it, we, we, we are not an empty -handed guest, this is a city, wait, now everyone will understand everything, this is oh, come on, oh, a whole liter of sour cream, i wanted it myself. who likes sour cream here, but homemade and fatty ones, well, i think everyone so guessed it, well, of course cats , this is a city of cats cats, so our soul

of cat lovers will now rush to heaven, so what come on my friend, let's go, let's go, as i wanted to taste this sour cream myself, on the zelenograd coat of arms, for example, not a cat, but fish... so why are these fluffy stars here? it’s very simple: it’s a marketing ploy. the tourist season in the baltic is short, just a few months. restaurants are empty, souvenir shops are closing. and cats are popular all year round. so they came up with a real idea to attract tourists. cat kingdom. and it worked. we have finally reached katafeni, now we will treat the cats, yes katafeni is the territory

exclusively of seals, we will be guests here, how and what they decide here, they live here according to their own laws and customs, look, but they also have their duties, pay attention, this traffic light is not for cars, not for people, that’s right, for them, for the mustachioed striped ones, they are just law-abiding, that’s all. with cats, everything here is with cats, let's go, there are more people living in the very center of the city one and a half hundred leopards, murziks, murkas and other leopolds. well, katofey, it's time for lunch. so, look, they are eating, delicious , yes, sour cream, listen, real russian cats

, they love sour cream, fatter, and more, purrs are not afraid of people, and if they get tired of two-legged animals, they simply go to their house, in general, they walk on their own on your own, and these are friends, a variation on what a cat’s house can look like, but if there is a creative person... you can create such a palace for your beloved pet, these houses, they are one in the same, like those right on the avenue , imagine, look what a baby, your cats won’t react to kys-kys, these locals won’t react, don’t get your hopes up, they are too pampered by the attention of tourists, the glass wall that is here is not really like that she appeared here a long time ago simply so that the potiks would feel calmer, and that no one would interfere with them or disturb them during their daytime sleep.

don’t think that zelenogradsk lives only with cats; without them there is something to brag about. previously, holidaymakers came here to the baltic, not sunbathing, not sunbathing, not just swimming in the sea, but in order to be treated, treated by the baltic waves, because scientists and doctors have calculated that the blow of a baltic wave is equivalent to a high-quality hydromassage, the very purity of these waves, yes we of course, it’s probably not sunny here, it’s windy. zelenogradsk is especially

appreciated for its appearance; there is an absolutely wonderful atmosphere of antiquity. the forty-two-meter spire of the transfiguration cathedral is visible from almost any part of the city. this is the ex lutheran church. it was built back in the 19th century, but there is something higher in the city. look, look, what an amazing view, wow, guys, the peculiarity of zelenogradsk is that the buildings here are low-rise, maximum three floors, so if you want to see all this baltic beauty, then of course you definitely need to take a ride on the ferris wheel, 50 m is the highest point of the city, yes. the highest point of the city, it used to be here, of course, this is the spire of the church, above which nothing was allowed to be built, but also here you can see the kuzh spit, which we will definitely go to, old buildings,

in principle the whole city. my phone, it’s very beautiful, you have a new reminder, events, results of the year with vladimir putin, don’t forget to turn it on. december 14 at 12:00 moscow time, veda vodka, stellor group product, bloodhound, new series, lady, searches, well, well, it’s not work that has arrived, but to improve my personal life, but what do we have? from monday on the first. the kurzh spit is

essentially a peninsula, 98 km long, but narrow, width from 400 m to almost 4 km, there is a legend, how she appeared, they say the sand was poured by a mythical giantess to protect the kurzh bay from the waves of the baltic sea. guys , no, we haven’t gone crazy, it’s just customary to walk along this tourist trail while dancing, well, because this is the very famous dancing forest on the kursk spit, why it’s dancing, it’s easy to guess, because the trunks of pine trees twist very bizarrely, why is that happened so

far? it’s not clear, there are a lot of versions, too many, and one of them is a strong wind that blows in one direction and blows out soil from under the roots. there is another version that the tree trunks were damaged by a certain caterpillar, a certain butterfly, but be that as it may, the fact remains: the reeds rustled, the trees bent, listen, well, there can be many versions, the air here is coniferous, sea, clean, healing , therefore , it’s worth coming here not only for the dancing trunks, but also to take a walk, breathe, relax, you still want to dance, and on the kurzh spit there are several ecological pipes, we are on the one that leads to the height of efa, 62 m above the level sea, the highest point of one of the local dunes, they named it in honor of franz ef,

in the eighties of the xix century he saved these places from environmental disaster. local residents were very active in cutting down forests, not thinking about the fact that the roots of the trees hold the dunes and do not allow them to move. efa stopped this matter, on the contrary, he began to plant pine trees, their roots strengthened the unstable soil. kursk spit is a national park in russia, a specially protected natural park. here we are at the height of efa, on an ecological trail that runs between two zones, this is a protected area, and this is a specially protected zone, and the most interesting thing is that all these forests are the creation of human hands, the kursk spit has another name, the unofficial bird bridge, millions of birds fly here every year.

in the fall they rush to winter in warm countries, in the spring they return back, and this route has existed for thousands of years, the best place to study birds is difficult to find, it is not surprising that it was here in 1901 that the world's first ornithological station was built, are you my good little bird, or is this no longer a little bird, baby, it’s a robin, friends, how why do you think i have a bird in my hands now? yes, because we are at an ornithological station, we have two of them in the country, one is located on the shores of ladoga and the second is here on the kursk spit, but we are now in the field station of an ornithological station, imagine, here in just one day a person can fly there - there are up to 2 million birds here, that is, they study the migration of small birds here, get acquainted.

meet anatoly, yes, i am one of the oldest employees of this station, all these years 67 years, the main method of our work is catching banding. the only word, by the way, it has been used for 100 years, this word is very simple, it is familiar all over the world, this word is called moscow. the main task of ringing is to find birds with rings in different places, in different countries. by receiving this information,

experts understand the migration routes of birds, where they settle, how long they live, and how many there are in general. one problem is that the effectiveness of the method is very low. only 1% of ringed birds will again fall into the hands of people, as a conclusion, even more birds should be supplied with rings, i place the bird’s sock inside the ring through the crack with my fingers, i connect the ends together , the line is closed, everything is simple, of course , there is nothing complicated, the ring always moves freely, noticeably ivan, but can she get caught on this ring somewhere? everything is thought out, of course, the first task is to determine the type of bird, the bird is called a brambling , we determine whether it is a male or a female, a young bird or an adult, it is a female, the one that is much

more beautiful, after the bird is weighed, we have received all the final information and release the bird to freedom, usually through open window, fly, sing the star to the final tomorrow after the evening news, the current territory of the kaliningrad

region centuries ago belonged to the state of the tefton order; several surviving medieval castles remind of those times. we are on our way to one of them, well, look, we were leaving , it was raining, and already the sun was shining, literally 15 minutes had passed, but in kaliningrad they say: you don’t like the weather, wait half an hour, and this saying is real, but i still it seems that the weather is favorable to us, by the way, we we are heading to the village of nizovye, to one of the most famous castles in kaliningrad, waldau castle, we will feel like knights, let's go, let's go! the order built castles to control the surrounding areas, local residents and most importantly, trade routes.

in ancient times, the fortress was the residence of the grand masters of the tefton order. this is what they called the highest official. and even from these very words: the order, the masters, waldau, still all.

now, step by step, valdao is turning into a museum. sergey, you are in charge here, you are here live, we're not joking now, here's the window.

the secrets of the castle attract tourists and thrill-seekers here. there are plenty of ghost hunters these days. this medieval castle is also a great place for filming. this is a finished decoration. well, in this office, the filming of the seventh season of a military-historical drama according to the laws of war took place recently, which...

another place in the kaliningrad region

that is associated with the tifton order is the railway village, don’t look at the name, it is, of course, post-war. it’s just that in its place stood the ancient town of gerdauen, the station itself was built at the dawn of the 20th century and it survived two world wars, safe and sound. well, can you really say that this is a village? and this, friends, is a village in the south of the kaliningrad region, a very cozy, very fabulous, theatrical railway village, until 1946, it was the city of gerdaon, which was named after the prussian leader, and there are very, very many historical secrets, for example, this city used to be,

well, according to one of the legends, it was from here the image of that same drosselmeer, well, the uncle who gave the bastard to the girl, appeared; the history of gerdauen turned out to be turbulent, during the first world war. it was almost completely destroyed; now only the ruins of the castle remind of the medieval past; the walls of the church and some residential buildings have been preserved. the modern look is the result of the work of architects of the last century, we must give them credit, they managed to recreate the look and atmosphere of bygone times. the city is a fairy tale, so they believe in fairy tales in a special way. this. wishes say that if if you go through it and make a deep

, sincere wish, then it will definitely come true. and my wish has already come true, well , at least the child’s, i’ve already found out where , where the shuttlecock comes from, well, at least his uncle appeared, let’s go back and forth again , we’ll find out something else, but that’s right, i have one more has not been used, it turns out that the village is small, only 1500 people live here, but... it is already very, very popular among tourists, there are two guest houses, cafes, restaurants, a sanatorium is being built , a hotel is being built, and in general you can come here come in... any season, the former medieval city is such a chest of antiquities, who knows what other secrets and amazing things can be found in it, it would be nice, by the way, to find a place for lunch, especially since the local cuisine is also capable surprise.

if you are lucky enough to visit the railway station, then keep in mind that they will not let you leave without a portion of onion soup. this dish was traditional for these places, literally everyone could afford it, and today they decided to revive the old recipe. meet ilya, our chef, evgenia. the presentation is just classic, as the world is used to seeing it, and your presentation is the way we serve it here, a lot of spices, yes, in fact, onions have a lot of sugars and when they are caramelized, when fried, the taste is very strong transforms , which is why it becomes so rich and voluminous, and they also say that if the onion

is fried very well, it has the smell of mushrooms, please try it, you feel it, yes, but i think it’s soup with mushrooms, no ilya, why? it was onion soup that was historically prepared here, i think in the first turn, this is because of its accessibility, that is, it is budgetary, quite budgetary, and why are snails snails on the table today, these are local grape snails, a large number of them live in our forests, and we cook them too, unlike the classic method with garlic and parsley, we cook them with pestle from the man, i’m sure they are very tasty, here you are, maria sergeevna, by... it’s just this kind of variety, just like all sorts of reptiles , it’s just protein, it’s very tasty, yes, you are right, it is actually a very high protein food, but i don’t recommend eating more than one serving per person, one serving is five or six

snails, six snails, yes, they are very filling, but you can cook this yummy food at home, of course you can, but i want to say that this... yes, it’s a rather labor-intensive process that takes a lot of your time and attention, when i made them for the first time, i’ll be honest, i still dreamed about them for several days in a row, let’s take another snail, i think maria sergeevna soup, i’m somehow familiar with it, we have gained strength, we continue to study the village, there is one small one here, but a very interesting museum of potyphons, ancient gramophones. music boxes, barrel organs, this is a private collection of 32 unique exhibits, for example, a gramophone

from 1910, this year it turned 113 years old, and the cherry on the cake will be thomas edison's phonograph, with the help of... this very device people for the first time in history were able to hear the sounds of recorded music. on this note we end our baltic journey. if you suddenly see such a symbol in the kaliningrad region, then don’t be surprised, it’s not just any symbol. an informal sign, literally a local greeting, all because all the multifaceted attractions of this miniature region can literally fit into one palm, well, look, this is a diagram, the baltic spit, the kursk spit, and between them there are five bones - these are five coastal cities,

thank you kaliningrad for this warm welcome, i would like to call it warm, even despite this... squally wind, our journey through the kaliningrad region ends with you , maria osadnik, evgeny pokrovsky traveled with us, our project, let's go! this is a special military operation zone. in video footage filmed by drones near kupyansk, an armored group of the armed forces of ukraine on leopard tanks.

it is the cornet that, in principle, makes no difference to him, whether it is to the side or to the forehead, that is, it penetrates 1,300 mm behind dynamic protection, that is, it is a cumulative missile, it penetrates any type of armor. recently , british chelin tanks were shot down with these weapons, and immediately after this , reports appeared in the american press. that there are no tanks in the world that he could not destroy our carnet. let’s not even argue with this, they know better. these modern developments in

the defense sector are associated with a person whose name is known only to a narrow circle of professionals. arkady shipunov. it was kept secret for many years, and foreign intelligence services hunted for its ideas. there is simply no other person like him, among all our design equipment. today it is impossible to imagine military operations or border protection without the latest products that carry shipunov’s ideas. from rapid-firing air cannons to fighters and helicopters to high-precision missile systems.

forged, this battle in the area of ​​​​a special military

operation is being waged by a terminator, the latest weapons of the russian army, a tank protector, two rapid-fire thirty-millimeter cannons give such a barrage of fire that it is impossible to resist. we have our own tactics of working, we scare the enemy away from us, and then we throw him from above, rapid fire. 30 mm caliber guns, the brainchild of vasily gryazev and arkady shipunov, were put into service in the early eighties, and are still used today there are no equals in the world. it’s hard to believe that it was the courage and perseverance of one person, arkady shipunov, that opened up the opportunity for their production. wherever there are types of weapons, they are in cannons, in aviation, on naval vessels, everywhere, of course, this is the greatness, you can feel it, this is the scale, the scale of the individual.

1965 the united states of america is fighting in vietnam. american aircraft are attacking military industrial facilities of the northerners. the recently appointed chief designer of the tula tskb-14 arkady shipunov is summoned to the ministry. in the fall of 1965, arkady georgivich was sent to vietnam, where at that moment one of the most brutal wars of the 20th century had already broken out, and he found himself there as part of a group of specialists who needed to study the weapons that were used in this war.

shipunov arrived in hanoi amid the roar of explosions and the wail of sirens. bombs and rockets rained down on the city. a night raid common for american aviation. the designer was interested in trophies. everything that came from them miraculously did not explode. he told how he opened an american missile, because he was physically the only one who dealt with ammunition at all. and so he was there, in fact , yes, the suppressor went off, although he says there were several kilograms of explosives, so if something had happened, then of course no one would have been able to escape... this business trip was of great importance, the peculiarities of warfare, the new american weapons, the operation of the air defense systems that we supplied to hanoi, everything that shipunov saw in vietnam required a reaction from the soviet authorities at the highest level. yes, by the way, he saved small arms, because when khrushchev declared everything, down.

guns live on missiles, but naturally , in order to reach america, there were conflicts with america, here he is, nevertheless, he did not give up this business, after the caribbean crisis of 1962, khrushchev indicated that only nuclear missiles are protection from they will be determined by the power of the country. why invest in the production of guns. shipunov had a different opinion. it was clear to him that the development of weapons lies in high-precision systems. and even at that time there weren't enough guns anymore. it was necessary to shoot down the planes already at a range, well, about 6-8 km, which means that it would make it difficult for him to make maximum

use of his own weapons, you know? i can see his sly blue eyes now, he’s looking at me, who are you who screwed all this up with us? well , of course, in my head the answer is absolutely clear that dmitry fetrovichata tricked him out, no, he didn’t say that, and not because...
