these statues are of incredible antiquity, but they are practically the same age as the egyptian pyramids, the pearl of khakassia, a collection of statues from the early bronze age, the so-called okunev culture. in this museum there are about seventy of these statues, the most impressive collection of stone idols in russia. their research began 300 years ago, by order of peter number one, the german scientist, daniil gotleb, mr. schmit. “yes, with such a sadly memorable surname for our ears, but the ancestor is not responsible for the descendant. so, this same mr. schmidt carried out the first excavations. the most valuable, from a historical point of view, stone sculptures of the okunev archaeological culture are kept here. their age is more than 4,000 years. there are also numerous monuments of tagar culture, sculptures, writings, that is, petroglyphs on stones. telling about

the life of the people who inhabited these lands. more than 4,000 years, but the mind is inexhaustible. lord, how time flies, huh? the face of the sun, the symbol of all khakassia. it is more than 2,000 years old. this was the main deity. the museum once housed the goddess herself, uluk khurtuyakhtas, or the great stone mother, but smart heads. yes, yes, this happens in our time, they thought that a great goddess with such powerful power has no place in a museum, and she was returned to where she had stood before for 4 and a half, or maybe all of 5.00 years, but just imagine, for thousands of years, ancestors came to the sculpture to ask for the most intimate, and today it comes, well, women ask, for example, for a child, they say, if you go around the goddess three times in the family...

a baby will certainly be born, but men, of course, they ask for a clear mind , and what else? at is he naturally gifted with women? documentary evidence of rituals associated with the great mother for about 300 years. this is how many children were born and the enlightened minds of husbands we received over these three centuries, and with a mind, a man’s, however, how intelligently that distant life was arranged, and since matriarchy reigned in it, and the woman ruled everything. and not theoretically hiding behind a man’s back, but practically in reality. yes, there were times. well, maybe we’ll wait a little longer. well, let's pause our story about khakassia. as they say, to be continued, because we did not manage to show you all the wonders of the beauty of this amazing region. we'll meet in the chests soon. either in a pandora box, or

on the path of our ancestors, the choice is overwhelming, well , we won’t meet in the gum at the fountain, these are not travel notes with dmitry, last time you and i started a journey through ugra, another name: ugra. cantemansi district. in my opinion, this is a very interesting region for a true traveler. what exactly? yes, it is painfully original and unlike any other region our country. yugra, as it is consonant with urga, from mikhalkov’s film, is the territory of love. and this, moreover, i would say, is the territory of the unity of opposites. what i mean? look in german.

eventful, this is what the second face of ugra looks like, young, beautiful, modern. surgut is the largest city. ugra. there are about 400 thousand inhabitants. it is considered the oil capital of russia and is among the top ten cities in the country with the highest standard of living. are you jealous? well, why are you sitting sour in your soup? the local surgut is waiting for you and ready to accept its northern hot embrace. yes, he ambitiously, as befits a successful businessman, is growing in heights, filling the city space with comfortable, beautiful houses, and his current outline, by the way, he became... oil workers, geologists, builders and power engineers, that is, all those who came to develop, to settle and develop these territories, in general, an ordinary working village in the shortest possible time grew into this

modern city, can you imagine all this, in the middle of the harsh siberian nature, this place was noticed back in 1594. i will the first wooden fortress to begin the development of the region. then 155 service people settled here, including the executioner priest. well, where would we be without them? the right people for any undertaking. of course, nothing remains of the then surgut fortress, but, according to archaeologists, it stood not far from the current one. favorite place of absentee townspeople. in our ugra, like in a spring forest, everything grows before our eyes. back in the 2000s, on this bank of the saimaa river, a reclaimed natural dense forest grew. well, he grew and grew, wild animals ran around, foxes, hares, they ran out. the townspeople collected mushrooms and

berries in the nearby forest, some even went out to hunt, shoot white hares, or larger ones, dinosaurs that had strayed from the herd or psyrodactyls on their morning taka. they taste like our partridges, oh, there are a lot of them preserved here, the licenses are really expensive, well , just recently in this wonderful place an eco-park opened behind saimaa, 65 hectares of a landscaped park environment, where people relax exclusively culturally, not before, not very much, and now it’s very cultural, but yes, these are sports times clubs gather adult children for training and competitions; historians from the now fashionable reenactor movement organize historical events. instructions in costumes, for example, the mangazeya move, for amusing battles there are costumed heroes from all over ugra, from the previous animal world in the park, well, mostly squirrels remain, the rest are out of harm’s way, gone away. hunting squirrels never occurs to anyone, but

it’s hard to refuse to hand-feed these cute rats with a fluffy tail. sunbathers intermingle in the eco-park in summer on the beach and even do pass swims, and it’s noticeable. calmly, moving in space, comrades, without panic, despair, we are in london, this big band, yes, the same one that adorns the capital that gave birth to unlucky notes, let me remind you that the first episode of our program was called unlucky notes or from london with love. and this is little big ben, or rather ours, surgussk. even part of the westminster palace joined him here. but i don’t know, but to me it looks no worse than in london. external cladding and architectural appearance of the smallest details, repeats the original. how

did such an architectural oddity appear in surgut? good question. not long ago, one surgut businessman’s children grew up. well, what are you talking about there? yes, imagine this happens. and so. he began to think about where to teach them english, then the creative dad had the idea to build a school of foreign languages, and not just build it, on a grand scale, children need english, which means there will be a school in big ben. interestingly, if there had been a request for french, then they would have built the ephel tower, and in chinese, then there is the great wall of china, i mean this without a catch, because i am sure that such people are the future of russia, its best part. surgut lives like a metropolitan city, in terms of living standards, with the possibility of being included in cultural life, but at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, just before the revolution, it was a typical provincial merchant town, lost in the far northern outskirts

of the empire, its population was a thousand people mainly trade, in 1881 it was decided to dissolve the surgut cossacks due to their small numbers and uselessness, the cossacks offered. he took furs and fish from local residents, household equipment, and soon klepikov became the richest man in surgut. little of that pristine merchant sedateness has been preserved in surgut, one single house, albeit a landmark one, a museum, this bright tower is the former estate of the merchant klepikov. each era, each class has always had its own characteristic household set. in the soviet years, for example, every apartment certainly had a sideboard, where they gathered dust in proud integrity. crystal wine glasses and a vase, the same ones stood on the shelves books, czech chandeliers on the ceiling, carpets on

the floor on the walls, wallpaper of that time were also delightfully recognizable, and these interiors are typical of a merchant’s house, here you have kusnetsov porcelain waiting for dinner in the living room closet and fashion catalogs from moscow and paris waiting the hostess, the desire of merchant provincial women to keep up with fashion has not been canceled, a singer sewing machine, ordered for fabulous money and an indispensable pattiphone. a german piano and music magazines were also mandatory attributes, since all the wives in all nineteen merchant estates before the revolutionary surgut played music. with the advent of soviet power, the life of the city fell into decay, and it stood, like all of ugra , half-forgotten, far from the ever-watchful eye of power, and the native government was interested in these remote regions only as a place of exile. and so it went on until one fine day, as they say in fairy tales, but let’s really tell this story as a fairy tale for adults. perhaps

the people of my naftali of the new generation remember one of the main symbols of post-war success ussr associated with yugra. in the popular consciousness , he walked, if not on par with gagarin’s flight, then somewhere right behind him. in the sixties , all citizens of the country knew by heart the text of one telegram sent from surgut to moscow. the text was laconic, or as today they would say, not much. march 21, 1961, moscow, kremlin, khrushchevo, i found oil, like that. and that’s all, the author of this historical telegram, farman kurbanovich solmanov, soviet geologist, hero of labor, lenin prize laureate, academician, honorary citizen of the city, and in odd numbers, a real legends of surgut, because it was this man who discovered the richest mineral deposits in ugra. gave the region a ticket to the future. salmanov searched for oil in siberia for a long time persistently, searched in different places, moved from place to

place, searched, not paying attention to the burden of life and pressure from above, and here in surgut he achieved his goal. on march 21, 1961, the first well of one of the local fields produced an oil gusher. from 1957 to 61, farman salmanov lived in this house. and now the house is at the address. along with the one displayed in the yard equipment, a temporary trailer for geologists, is a salmanov museum. using this oil bottle as an example, a museum employee clearly shows why an oil spill on water always turns into an environmental disaster. oil always rises to the surface, it covers the water with a film and thereby stops access to oxygen to all living things. this is how this black gold, which gives life to a person, can cause death. the day when the geologist sent to the kremlin

everything inside salmanov’s house as it was in historical telegram: the home of the first discoverer, as you can see, is very modest, after all, the geologists lived a difficult, often harsh life, they were paid well by soviet standards, but this does not change the cold or cramped conditions, try sleeping with your wife on a single bed, meters from your neighbors for 4 years in a row, food was flown here only occasionally, because basically everything...

we are playing a wedding, today is the first one. 75 years ago an organization was created whose only goal was the destruction of our country.

you've already seen our nastya, and this is her a friend, lena, a student at surgut university, runs her own fashion theater, creates clothing models herself, sometimes

goes on the catwalk, the barca women's flight group has existed for 10 years. then they sent a cry across surgut all over ugra: come on girls, come on beauties, let the country sing about you, whoever wants to learn how to fly small planes, come to us, listen, almost 200 young ladies came, well, it’s clear that after the first interviews 150 remained, then another 50 left, well, someone’s bestiality turned out to be weak, tazhnitech started during aerobatics, someone, having worked out, felt a lack of time, but other joys of life, in general, today there are seven of them left, young... girls aged from 19 to 23 years old, which they achieved prize-winning places in all-russian and international competitions, made long-distance flights intact squadrons in difficult conditions, for example, over the world's largest vysyugan swamps, with landings for refueling in wild natural conditions, the girls happened to perform in the sky even together with

the legendary russian knights, gathered here your own collection, here you go... the su-31, widely known among sports aviators as the plane of champions, there is even a real american retro, douglos. u2, assembled according to the model of the production, attention, 1927, in 1944, shortly before our victory , the car was renamed po-2, they were the ones who were part of the women's air regiments and squadrons. female pilots bombed the enemy and transported wounded partisans from behind the front line. 23 female pilots who flew on... two became heroes of the soviet union, that is, this is the very famous corn plant for which the hero famous movie heavenly vehicle, they suggested drinking once or twice, but so that tomorrow you wouldn’t have a headache. if our journey through the game seemed interesting to you, then perhaps one of you will go on this real, but untold journey and it will become, i

am sure, bright, unforgettable and complete discovery, that is, what it was started for. any travel, but for now, bye, your sofa travel companion dk. hello, there is a news release on channel one, in the studio maxim sharafuddinov and briefly about the main thing. flood, and also rain in it's not any easier for the orenburg region. there is already such a depth, what is it, that you already have to swim there, yeah, courtyards and...
