"i can't live without you, the premiere, tomorrow after the program, the neighbors have become somewhat unfriendly, they refused the bathhouse, i'm disgusted, or something, there's no point in imposing myself on them, they don't want it, it's not necessary, so, the promised grace, that was the name of the estate of the honorary teacher agafonov during the silver age, then the estate "grace" was very popular, but ... why now no less, for more than 30 years in the building of the old estate, miraculously saved from demolition in soviet times, there is a theater museum, its creator and permanent director valentina petrovna, the insert was made on kislovodsk. inspiredly, like all passionate people, she talks about her favorite brainchild, the soul of which she fills with new, new exhibits from year to year, although it would be unfair to call the items she collected exhibitions by this word.

there are several exhibitions in the museum, they are dedicated to russian america, that is, to those who came from russia and made the united states famous on our russia. to the aircraft builder igor sekorsky, he is called the father of modern helicopter construction, to the singer anna marley, she wrote the song partisan, which became the french anthem of resistance. remember? no one, no force will conquer us, will not drive us away. a heroine, again of french origin. whose second concert some music lovers put above all of ours, that is, tchaikovsky's first concert.

sacrilegious? well, i know those who consider poet number one not the sun of our poetry alexander sergeevich, but mikhail yuryevich. but this is by the way. in general, here in the museum there are exhibitions of many worthy people who lived in different countries, but multiplied the glory of russia. but the exhibitions are only a small part of what awaits those who come here. let's give credit where credit is due. valentina petrovna did much more than just a museum, she revived the traditions of kislovodsk theater evenings and theater. which were very popular not only in this estate, but in kislovodsk as a whole. moreover, she managed to create here the atmosphere of warmth and comfort that was inherent in this place more than a century ago. as the owner herself says, it is worth coming here to feel the aromas of old kislovodsk, and you will certainly feel them, i give you my word. that day , khanuma was being performed at the estate, and the audience listened to the performance with pure and unclouded delight. a spectator from moscow later said, probably,

only people living in the caucasus can convey the repeatable colorful caucasian humor, but i am not sure, because we have a wonderful performance in navtalinov's memory, and then a film , the performance of georgy tavtsanoy khonuma, which became a soviet classic, in which caucasian characters were played, and brilliantly, exclusively by russian actors. oh, this is not the end of our acquaintance with kislovodsk, there are other attractions and no less attractive surroundings ahead, so it's high time for you to take care of a trip to these places. for health, pleasures, the beauty of the local region. caucasian mineral waters are our acid carrier, with which we visited, but this is also pyatigorsk, and zheleznovodsk, and essentuki, and lermontov, that are waiting for our acquaintance with them. i hope you spent your time not boringly but usefully. these are not travel notes with dmitry krylov. have you noticed that

having arrived in any small provincial town, we feel that life is flowing here, yes no, not boring, but more measured, unhurried, leisurely, and people are more welcoming and hospitable, for us residents of not only the capitals, but also cities with a population of over a million, it is a luxury to get into such a meditative contemplative flow of life, that is why we go to get acquainted with the little towns of our country, so we thought, going to kargopol, but this small town of the russian north with a population of only about 1000 people and 1400 in the entire kargopol district, located in the arkhangelsk region, not only surprised us, but all our expectations. catherine ii, of course, made a huge mistake by not stopping by kargopol. how come you don't know this story? oh, well then let's talk about everything in order. kargopol is a year older than

moscow, until the 19th century finno-ugric tribes lived here, and then the slavs came here, the river. onega became a link between the white lake of the tax code and the white sea. and the city began to develop quickly, thanks to the waterway. russians from kargopol went by boat all the way to norway. under ivan the terrible, it was one of the largest cities in the russian north. the tsar introduced a monopoly on the sale of salt here, which was delivered from the salt mines on the white sea, so money flowed from kargopol and the city quickly grew rich. this meant that merchants were forced to buy salt only here. before the revolution, only about 3,500 people lived in kargopol, but more than twenty temples and churches were built in the city, 11 of which have survived to this day. the merchants, who were called the fathers of the city, did not spare money and were generous philanthropists. the history of gargopol can

be divided into before the fire of 1765 and after. before the fire it was a medieval city, crooked narrow streets skirted ovrashki. according to the project of engineer. was built just during the time of ivan the terrible in 1562 as a symbol of a prosperous trading city, the church of the annunciation of the blessed virgin mary attracts attention. with stone-carved platbands in the style of kargopol stone patterns. academician ilya grobar compared them with the florentine palaces of the renaissance. they began to build the temple at the end of the 14th century, and finished only 31 years later. the latest church in the construction of 1819 is the temple

saints zasima and savaty, solovetsky miracle workers, it was built by means of a korgopol merchant. in merchant times , trade was very extensive. but in the 15th century , kargopol began to fade into the background, since arkhangelsk, an outlet to the white sea, was being built, and trade routes went through it, st. petersburg also began to be built and kargopol remained on the sidelines, even the railroad passed it by, the local head is to blame for this, because he washed himself in the bathhouse for a long time and did not quickly respond to the railroad workers' dispatch, and he did not have a mobile or other pagers yet, but perhaps, thanks to this, the city survived, in soviet times... a little forgotten, and if there was a railway here, oh, everything could have been different, old traditions lived in the city for a long time, all the innovations did not reach it soon, there was a common saying here: high to god, far to the sar, local historians also call kargopol the land of hidden

time, an example of ancient russia. touched the soul a beautiful story: every day, exactly at noon, the bell ringing is heard. about 20 years every day in any weather bell ringer anton krekhelev climbs the bell tower, a bright, beautiful crimson ringing floats above the city. anton is not the first bell ringer in this city, the tradition is more than 20 years old, and the korgopol residents themselves do not pay attention to it, but for us, who have arrived, it is just some kind of miracle. anyone can climb the bell tower and feel the full power of healing vibrations during the ringing. to our question, how... a person does not have days off and vacations, anton modestly answered that he has students who sometimes replace him, almost anyone can learn to ring, you just need a sense of rhythm, and everyone who has a heart has it, and in kargopl every winter at epiphany there is

a bell ringing festival, crystal bells, after the fire of 1765 kargopl was rebuilt according to the plan proposed by the beloved architect... charles cameron. the queen was generally an anglophile. the streets themselves straightened and widened, although they retained their old names: potanikha, bazarikha, poltoranikha. and krasny passad street was the only one that was not renamed after the revolution. the new st. petersburg street began with bell tower, it was built for the arrival of catherine ii, to enhance the impression on those entering the city, its façade with a cross was not deployed according to the canon. however, catherine.

from the imperial palace and royal residence to the russian north, thanks to the collection of the state museum reserve tsarskoye selo we learn how complex imperial trips were organized, what personal belongings catherine took with her, what she was doing on the road, how the cities prepared for the highest arrival, for example, the authentic dress of catherine ii arrived from tsarskoye selo, this uniform dress is made in the form of the leipgvardey semenovsky regiment. catherine ascended the throne in a male uniform. only empresses and wives of emperors had the right to wear such dresses. the fan also from

the collection of tsarskoye selo belonged to the empress. travel tea set of chinese origin, copper covered with enamel. this particular set was given to tatishchev by nicholas i, but it belongs to the era of catherine ii. a clever travel table by tula gunsmiths, made for catherine ii. when you press one of the levers, the table top rises and... becomes vertical, here are the mules, unexpected footwear of local fashionistas and headdresses embroidered with pearls . a century and a half ago they said: a korgopul woman will succeed sooner than sell her pearls, even if her husband is in prison for debts. here are detailed drawings, plans, models of kargopol, specially created for the project, and the interactive table is a kind of know-how, allowing viewers to understand the topography of the ekaterinburg cities and learn the history of individual ones. we were lucky, the empress herself accompanied us around the exhibition, telling us about

its exhibits, and for the rest an audio guide was released, recorded in the voice of elizaveta boyarskaya, it included the main stories, telling not only about the main sections of the exhibition, but also about individual exhibits. in general, everyone was worried about mom, and mom - this was mom's finest hour.

think, hello, ninel, the premiere of a multi-part film, soon on the first, what are you, a cheater, no, i'm an artist, we continue to get acquainted with the small town of the russian north of kargopol, in the magnificent house of a merchant vishnikov in august 1800. in the nineteenth year , alexander i was received. the road from st. petersburg to arkhangelsk, along which the tsar was heading,

ran through karakopol. here they changed horses, rested on the way. and on august 3 , 1819, alexander i arrived in kargopol. in a one-horse carriage he was taken first to the cathedral, where, after standing through the service, the tsar walked to the house, through a living corridor of people who shot along his path. the owner escorted the tsar to the funeral, rest. he went out into the hall and was treated to the best kargopol dishes, the tsar tried a little bit of everything, he liked the korgopol cuisine, so he didn’t need the food he brought with him based on english recipes. the house of the merchant veshnikov, located on pobeda street, along with its architectural counterparts, was restored according to the national project housing and urban environment, two projects in this direction were implemented in kargable. one of... thanks to it, the city received a new landscaped embankment with an observation

deck, as well as reconstructed buildings along it. by the way, the embankment of kargopol bears the name of the merchant, the harvester of these places, alexander andreevich baranov, and he is famous for the fact that at the end of the 14th century, having gone to alaska to extract sea beasts, having gone through incredible trials, baranov managed to found the city of nova arkha there. alexander baranov was not destined to return back to russia, but the people of korgopol remember their famous compatriot and pride. the second object, improved according to the national project of housing and urban environment , is the building of the korgopol people's theater. it should be noted that this is the only a folk theater in russia that has

its own building. according to the national project , the historical appearance of the facade of the building of the house of culture was recreated. and the theater. the amateur folk theater in kargopol worked from the middle of the 19th century and was very popular. it was considered shameful to come to the performance on foot, even if you lived on the other side of the street. but on big holidays, the opposite was true. only peasants from nearby villages were allowed into the theater. the theater exists to this day. on the day of our arrival , another premiere took place on its renovated stage. recently korgopolsky the people's theater became the winner of the grand prix of the all-russian festival theater pier. the space next to the theater is called a boat, this was the name of the very first theater troupe, as part of the reconstruction under the national project housing and urban environment , art objects, a city clock, a theater pier, a theater boat, a city poster were installed here, in 2022 we became participants in the all-russian competition among small towns and historical settlements, comfortable urban

environment and won this competition with the project the korgopol theatre is to be. we got to the theatrical performances of six creative groups, participants of the theatrical quarter of the kargopol theatre project. the bodies of amateur theatres, who came to kargopol from different cities, in bright, cheerful rows headed to the stage area on the embankment near the city pier, where all interested spectators were awaited by the open air theatre. until the evening, the people's theatres gave excerpts from their best and most beloved performances. if you met a woman with a basket full of wet laundry, it's a fortunately, oh well, a joke, of course, so in these parts, as many years ago , they continue to rinse laundry in special buildings, rinse houses, at home they wash it in activator-type machines, then they put the laundry in a basket and go to rinse, there are only 10 such rinse houses in the city, located on springs, seven of them are operational, in response to

our surprise, the locals told us that on the one hand this is a kind of karkopol feature: although people are embarrassed by this, on the other hand, this is a tribute to tradition, and many, especially the elderly, got used to it and don’t want to change anything. another explanation: the city is old and not everyone has running water, and, of course, linen rinsed in spring water has its own unique aroma that no expensive washing powder can give. the ledinskaya quadrille came from the village of ledina and was popular in these parts until the sixties of the last century. in kargopol, each village had its own quadrille of eight to 24 figures. the small quadrille was danced in huts, at evening parties, on saturdays, until the summer, and the big quadrille danced in the summer right on the village street.

both unmarried young people and married people took part in the dances. the quadrille is an opportunity to choose your partner not only for dancing, but also for life. therefore, the quadrille was not danced, it was attended. during the dance, guys could hug a girl quite officially, and in general , before, everything was very strict, so only in the quadrille could guys and girls get to know each other, communicate. it was allowed to go to karagopol evening parties from the age of twelve, before that time girls were considered baked, that is, they sat behind the stove, in the company of guys they... were forbidden to go. the quadrille is a village dance. city people did not dance it, it was shameful. they looked down on the quadrille, they danced the then fashionable crocodile. the quadrille often accompanied large feasts, where there were many changes of dishes. they ate, went out, danced, ate again. well, you and i have visited another small provincial town in russia, but it is precisely

such towns that make up its soul. welcoming, sincere and soulful, unlike the megapolis. visit them, and i am sure you will not regret, most likely you will discover some other sides of these places, see you, happy bye, your provincial at heart dk. hello, it's news time on the first channel, we'll tell you about the most important events right now. at night. the armed forces of ukraine attacked a peaceful area in the village of rakitnoye in the belgorod region, five people were killed, 12 were wounded, including children.
