its unique historical flavor, this city is called the belarusian suzdal, it is famous not only for its archaeological monuments, but for its traditions, and in the summer many tourists gather here, since it is in this city that the knight festival takes place. dear friends, i think you have already guessed where we are; today we are building a route to one of the oldest cities in belarus, mstislavel. today in our program you will find out where modern mstislaval gets its history from, what saints the holy assumption hermitage does not hide monastery? why was the museum of the people's icon opened in mstislavl and what exhibits are stored in it? we will also drop in on a master class with the national master of belarus and taste the most authentic italian pizza in mstislav style.

directly from minsk to mestislavel can only be reached by car; you will cover a distance of 300 km in about... hours; if you are traveling by public transport, be prepared for transfers. first you need to get to mogilev or krichev by minibus, regular bus or train, and from there a bus will take you to mstislavol, but we choose a car. mestislavel literally from the first minute amazes with its richness of history. places and

attractions, and this is not surprising, because the city was founded by the smolensk prince rostislav mstislavovich, already in 1135. the first human settlement within the city is the ancient settlement of devichya gora, located on the right bank of the vihra river; in the southwest of devichya gora there is the original center of ancient mstislavl, castle hill. today it is an open-air museum, which literally attracts tourists, at the foot of the mountain we are greeted by historical monuments, among them this is the grave of an unknown knight who died in the battle of 1502 on the vehra river, in 2013, doctor of historical sciences, professor igor aleksandrovich morzalyuk conducted an underwater... our defender himself of the city

of mstislavl was buried here as a tribute to the memory of all the historical events that happened in the history of our city. castle hill rises almost 20 m above the water level. three towers were built on the site, surrounded by pure stone. one entrance and two on the sides, and separately the donjon tower. historians call it the heart of the castle, a fortress within a fortress. of course, castle hill itself is an open-air museum; many archaeologists worked here and found a lot of archaeological artifacts here, and unique ones at that. it was here that two birch bark letters were found, which suggests that there was a high level of literacy in the population. castle hill is the heart of our city. yes, the place from which

the history of the city of mstislavl began. well and we build our route further and go beyond the city limits. instead of unshakable peace of concentration. holy dormition pustynsky monastery. pilgrims come to the village of pustynki not only from various parts of belarus, but also from neighboring countries. this is attractive. the place is located here because there is an ancient monastery, the miraculous face of christ and a healing spring. the holy dormition-pustynsky monastery is located 12 km from mstislavl, in a place called pustynki, which was the former name of the village, which now no longer exists. the emergence of the sanctuary is associated with one very interesting legend. monastery. was founded in

1380 by the mstislav prince semyon lugvin; according to legend, this is associated with the epiphany of a blind prince who was healed. with the help of a healing spring, which is located in the village of pustynki. the monastery has a very, very complex history, the uniates were located here since 1601, the assumption church was built in 1801, in 1839 the monastery was returned to the orthodox again, thanks to emperor nicholas... the first, mass stone slaughter began here in the 19th century construction, the church of the nativity of the virgin mary was built , the pokrovskaya church itself was built , the assumption church of the blessed virgin mary was transformed, and

the monastery castle itself was built, a multi-tiered tented bell tower , closer to the beginning of the 20th century , an outpatient clinic was built here, a school building, and a church fraternity operated. a special feature of this monastery is the presence of its own shrine of the icon of the mother of god of the desert, which, according to legend, worked miracles of healing. however, in the twentieth century, when temples were destroyed, and the monastery buildings served as a school and orphanage, the miraculous icon disappeared under mysterious circumstances. however, there is no need to believe in miracles here. steel, starting in 2003, repair and restoration work began here, and just in one of the buildings under the plaster the face of the savior of christ not made by hands was discovered, in 2005 the first services began to be held here and

the first tonsure was performed, and the repairs themselves -restoration work was completed by 2020, that is, we can see we can just now, we can see it all with our own eyes, plunge into the spiritual atmosphere, maybe strengthen our faith, and, of course, see all these shrines that are located here on the territory of the holy dormition monastery. the appearance of the miraculous image of jesus on the wall is truly a unique divine sign that attracts many pilgrims. here under a layer of plaster in 2003, when renovation and restoration work began. the savior of the face of christ not made by hands was discovered, what does this mean, it manifested itself , no one drew it, no one made it, it manifested itself, thousands of pilgrims come here to touch it, ask for something, if necessary, and of course , to look at it what he looks like with

his own eyes. i admit honestly, it’s impressive; after looking closely, i really understand that a person’s hand did not touch this image. they say every year it becomes brighter and more expressive; in some photographs you can even see the transparent blue eyes of the savior. miraculous properties are attributed to the holy spring, which is located at the foot of the church of the nativity of the virgin. it is consecrated in honor of archangel michael. yaroslava, is it true that the spring never freezes? no, it never freezes, it’s here all the time. the temperature is about 4°, which is why you can always come here to drink water and get some water. our source has such a healing property of helping those who, for example, have problems with maturation, there were some interesting precedents when people

said that indeed, i think, here it all depends on whether a person believes in it or not, because if a person strongly believes in it, then i think it is quite possible. a miracle worker indeed. in general, our situation is developing very vigorously, trade turnover is constantly growing, russia is the largest investor, our investors have invested $4 billion in the economy of belarus. the whole process begins with

the procurement of our own raw materials: trees are cut down on leased plots that were allocated by the state some 20 years ago, cut and sold as raw materials, but stopped on time. and restarted. in a country with one of the most forested areas in the world, it was natural for woodworking to take root. but the plant today includes 43 countries in the world where we have delivered.

the church of st. silouan of athos, who is located in mstislavl, knows firsthand how important faith is in the life of every person. during the war, this temple was severely destroyed and was abandoned for a long time, but in... in 2016, after reconstruction, the st. holy church received a new life, it was illuminated in honor of

the like-minded silouan of athos. at this place there was a princely court, according to historians, at this place there was a church of the holy martyr paraskeva pyatnitsa, here is an icon paraskeviy pyatnitsa, then... the trinity cathedral was founded on this site, and it was the main cathedral of the city, but in the 19th century the wooden cathedral was rebuilt and became a stone cathedral, and it was closed by the bolsheviks in 1925, then it stood in disrepair, here there were warehouses for a vocational school, then there was simply an abandoned building, so when in 2016 dozhinkas were held in the city of mstislavl, a decision was made to restore this temple, it turns out that it was after

the reconstruction that the holy trinity church was re-illuminated in honor of the monk silouan of athos on the day of remembrance of the saint, since then its doors have always been open to parishioners. many say that through his prayers they were freed from the passion of smoking tobacco, so they turn to him with questions about this, he is also freed from the sin of drunkenness, from the sin of gluttony, drunkenness, from sin. it symbolizes the special prayerful presence of the deceased righteous person, to whom people who come to church turn with a request or gratitude. the icon was painted by one of our parishioners, he was studying icon painting and when we made a request to our.

antiquity and the city, you saw, has been preserved, they call the belarusian suzdol, seslaval, so there are a lot of architectural monuments preserved here, people have a lot of religious objects preserved on their houses. some icons were passed down from generation to generation, as if they were family icons, someone died, the icons remained, so people brought them here, because here they are preserved, and as if in a church, the icon should be in the church. over the almost 4 years of the museum’s existence , about 100 icons were collected here, most of them were donated by the residents of bastenovichi. in the 14th century, this village was famous for its icon-painting

school of academic writing. there was a church there once. the church was reconstructed, these icons were found, they were lying under the church stairs when the church was closed by the bolsheviks, probably one of the people took them off and hid them, this is the icon of st. nicholas the wonderworker, also from there, this is the icon of the holy martyr harlampius, to whom he prays during epidemics, and which the oldest, well, the most ancient icon, this is probably the savior. leak, like this icons, there is a paroskivo friday hanging in our church, and they date back to what century, somewhere around the 18th century, a unique icon, double-sided, here it is on one side as an icon and on the other side as an icon, in the museum, by the way, you can see not only icons , various church utensils and ancient books and manuscripts are collected here

when the religious procession carried these candles, someone brought them here. this is it, this is all our history, our antiquity, very old books, for example, this book was published under empress catherine alekseevna, all russia, that is, this book is from 1784 , please look at the quality, how clear everything is, how everything is, yes, nothing has turned yellow, everything is there, everything is clean, everything is readable, anyone can add to the museum’s collection, here... anyone will be gratefully received a gift, because the museum was created in order to study history, remember the traditions of their ancestors and preserve their spiritual heritage. master sergei kudikov preserves the traditions of our ancestors in blacksmithing. the people's master of belarus lives in mstislavl and is engaged in educating the younger

generation, passing on his skills to them. it is not surprising that since ancient times people have revered blacksmiths, all because it was in their hands that iron and fire became obedient, but not everyone is able to pacify these elements. our next hero succeeded. it’s always hot in sergei’s workshop; the forge here almost never goes out. what does our kitchen consist of?

i put on an apron for work, you and i will make a guest, also a kind of amulet, that we take an ordinary metal blank, put it in a forge and light it. sergey, how did your journey in blacksmithing begin, well, initially the solemn year of 2007 is when we held the first festival of historical reconstruction in the msislav region and somehow with the reconstruction i began to make armor and weave chain mail. then the moment came, you need to forge something, yes, forged swords , some kind of knives, here’s the first forge, a hole in the ground, a vacuum cleaner, there to turn it into firewood, it just, well, quietly dried up, as if the hobby had outgrown, let's just say, the meaning of life, maybe the people's master of belarus, an adherent of the old school, in his workshop you will not find any modern installations for automating forging

or instruments, is this a kind of tribute to the past? my city for me , it played such a spark, yes, well, in my development, because firstly, it is a very ancient ancient city, with a great history, with its beauty, and yes, there were a lot of cousins, found during excavations, and even i slightly swung at unesco, i provided materials, so i was looking for - old blacksmiths, who are quite old there in the 800s-700s in the blacksmith wedding ceremony, when blacksmiths could woo, here tried to please here it was precisely at unesco that he wanted to promote the revival of blacksmithing as an intangible cultural value in... the makelevsky, schislavsky region. from words, let's get down to business. our metal has already heated up, yes, so apprentices , what is the point, where i hit, you

hit there once, as soon as i put the hammer down, you don’t hit anymore, otherwise i’ll tell you an anecdote for this case, so let’s go hit , we hit, we try to hit, even if the iron is still hot, you know the proverb, you see, it’s cooling down, that’s why the proverb doesn’t specially. that’s it, now we’re heating it up again, yes, i missed twice, the more i knock with the hammer, the more you convince me that after all, this is not a woman’s job, taming the fiery element, a woman is a blacksmith, everyone asks the question, is there such a thing? , yes, there is, there is , and, well, i’ve seen more women in the russian federation working as blacksmiths, more in belarus, but honestly i don’t know them, but there are women who do such unique, stylish work. just so sophisticated, if a man is a blacksmith, and he boo-boo, he also missed, well, that means that’s how it should be, yes, then there is something so brutal there, but women don’t, they treat it more,

well, scrupulously, let’s say, but that’s how a woman behaves in her everyday life, that’s interesting, nevertheless , with our joint efforts we got such a wonderful nail, definitely i’ll take it for luck, a little crooked, but yours, but i made the nail myself, with the help of sergei, sergei made the nail, with the help of me, but still a nail, cool, thank you very much, sergei, come to us for more master classes , so we will make horseshoes with you, nails, flowers, and we move on, we will exchange, so to speak, the blacksmith's apron for a kitchen apron. poella, profiteroles, italian pizza,

in order to try the world's culinary masterpieces from different countries, you don't have to travel abroad, just ask to visit the farmers who live in the village with the very interesting name korobchina, get acquainted, this is... what inspired you move to the village? well, let’s just say, i really like it, it’s a quiet life, i like that there’s no crazy traffic, i like that there’s a lot of beautiful nature, a lot of sky, in fact, you can do what is dear to you, what is close to you. and the closest thing to tatyana was gastronomy. kogru manor at one time traveled a lot around the world, added the most delicious recipes to her cookbook, and one fine day she decided, why

not share them with others? have you always liked to cook? the funny thing is that i have a medical institute behind me, no, oh well, yes, but this doesn’t interfere in any way, in fact, on the contrary, it’s even better when you from a medical point of view, you understand what, for what, why, why, but the main goal is still to have joy and a smile. looking at tatyana, you want to smile all the time. she talks about cooking with such love. by the way, they cook here exclusively from local products. in tatyana’s garden alone, more than sixty species of peppers grow. and what incredibly delicious aromas float in this gastronomic kingdom. i just can't wait to sit down and try everything. but first, let's take a master class from the hostess, i i suggest starting with pizza , finishing it up a little, yeah, and we’ll finish it off with our hot peppers, real italian

pizza in an ordinary belarusian village, i’m intrigued, i’m very interested, i got the simplest job - decorate the pizza and bake, all because the signature dish is still ahead , well, what a beauty, lord, well! now we need to taste it, now bake, let's go, so, while our pizza is preparing, i suggest we also prepare dessert, but the dessert is unusual, the dessert is absolutely amazing, it is beets, made from beets, absolutely right, tatyana, i have never eaten a dessert made from beets, to be honest , i can’t even imagine this component in a dessert, so, intrigue. let's start preparing an unusual dessert with beets, remember the recipe: 200 g of flour, 10 grams of baking powder, 30 g of cocoa, a pinch

of nutmeg, i also like to add cardamom, it gives such an interesting note, well, in any case, i just put it here , then we have pre -boiled or baked beets, i baked them and immediately prepared them for grating, so we have three eggs, we have sugar, we have 100 g of kefir, 300 sugar, three eggs and 100 grams. to be honest, cooking is not my strong point, but with such a wonderful teacher everything goes like clockwork. it took tatiana 20 minutes to mix all the ingredients, now the hardest part is waiting for our dessert to bake in the oven. and finally, my favorite moment came, the tasting. god, how delicious it is. and

it seems to me that even in italy i have not tasted tastier pizza, the main thing is to leave room for a beetroot dessert with delicious herbal tea. drum roll, friends, beetroot cake. even i wonder if i can identify this ingredient as beets? how delicious, tatyana, i would never have guessed that it was beets. yes, the most interesting thing is that it is camouflaged. the name of this wonderful dessert is called black velvet, black velvet, on this delicious note we say goodbye to you, until next weekend. this was our route through the beautiful mstislavl, a city with a unique history, fascinating architecture and such hospitable and sincere people. we will definitely come back here

again, but just to be sure? dear friends, i know this life hack, i will share it with pleasure with you, if you see in some city a monument on which some kind of, say, golden place is clearly visible, it means that this place was actively rubbed, so that your desire fulfilled. so, come up, make a wish, rub your nose, they say it will definitely come true.

we didn’t arrive, i’m sincerely glad, hello, you are my guest, this is the village of vysokaya, berezovsky district, and here we study, work, goats teach us, and we teach goats, goat farming, cheese making, and this is also my home, so let’s go, i introduced you. in this paddock we have all horned goats.

these are exactly the kind of village goats, these are our chips, for example, but our two main breeds are zaanin goats and nubian or more precisely anglo-nubian goats, zainin goats - which have ears, there, for example, is the last goat, such a good representative, and nubians are the opposite, they come in different colors, not only white, they all have floppy ears, the difference between these two breeds, that zaanin goats, they produce a lot of milk, this means that after the third or fourth lambing, this is after the third, fourth time that they gave birth, they already produce 4, 5, 6, 7 liters of milk per day, this is when taking into account, that there are two or three times a... and nubian goats, they produce less milk, somewhere there will be a maximum of 4 liters after the third lambing, but the quality of the milk is much better, there is a higher fat content , there is more calcium and more microelements, and

we we personally call this milk cheese milk, because the cheese yield is much higher more, if from white braids we have a cheese yield of about 9%, then from oar-eared goats, our cheese yield is already 15-16%. here. of course, it’s more profitable for us, but to be honest, today we mix our milk from all the braids so that we have an average fat content, an average amount somewhere, so since we came from austria, we of course had to get alpine goats, these are here alpine goats, of course, except for this horned one, because she is a village goat, all multi-colored goats, for example, this france is beautiful here like this. here in this paddock we have all our babies and only girls, and girls, because these little goats, they are already

about 5-6 months old, and boys and girls must be separated after the fourth month, asuna, oh , yes, these... our smallest goats or the smallest goat, her name is asuna, a japanese name, this is a multi-colored alpine goat, so far the biggest attraction on our farm, with her, well, if she is every day two or three times take your hands, they all become tame, can’t they they kick, and if you hold them in your arms for 5 minutes, they all fall asleep, people also really, really like this to take pictures, i would say.

i am often asked, what do you call it? your goats, why each one has its own name , you know, and firstly, it has a character, and secondly, thanks to goat therapy, goat therapy is a concept when you don’t choose the one you liked, but it chooses you, so my goat natasha, listen, she has a wonderful character, she always plays second fiddle, but she always controls everyone, she has such horns that she will raise both her husband and whoever you want, but she is calm , just as long as she is like this... by fur, by fur, by fur, she gives good milk, doesn’t get sick, gives a lot of children , well, just like me, mother heroin, gypsy girl, gypsy girl, my girl, my good one, gypsy girl, for example, we called her because her skirt is white, she

’s all black, she’s a very affectionate, very cunning, very smart goat, yes, my good one, yes, my smart girl, yes, my glorious one, this is our adolfovna, adolfovna the revolutionary. every every day he comes up with something, yes , to keep my mother in good shape, yes, yes, this is our ivelina frantsovna, she’s so smart, she’s also such a good girl, and today we have six breeds, if we can count that a village a breed is also a breed, but we bought only four breeds, the task was to produce cheese snacks. this is a completely separate niche, so - i like it because it is practically not occupied in this country, and this, like souvenir products, is so tasty, very tasty and...
