avenues, parks and squares, ancient streets of the upper city, architectural monuments of past years and modern ones, modern buildings, a unique city where eras converge, where the architectural solutions of many objects can be used to study its history.

they were built at different times, but among them there are those special ones that are symbols of minsk, our country, from one of the main buildings. palace of the republic, we will begin our story about such an ancient and such a young belarusian capital. the palace of the republic, shining with bright lights, is the last monument of architecture dating back to the soviet era. here in the palace of the republic new ones were born new year's traditions, one of which is the main christmas tree of the country. and the history of these traditions

is unique, as is the construction of the building itself, because it keeps many secrets. today it is difficult to imagine that all this could not have happened, neither this palace, nor this new year tree, the unrenovated, unique of its kind, the main theater of the country, the bolshoi, as well as other objects that have become the pride of the country, its calling card. at the end of the eighties, there was a real boom in fresh news, behind newspapers, magazines, even in the morning in the kiosk was lined up long. queues in the country of perestroika, a course towards openness, glasnost, newspapers begin to regularly publish messages about decisions made at the level of the leadership of the country and the republic, one of them is dedicated to the renaming of the central square to oktyabrskaya, here there is an interesting

entry, the construction of a palace of culture of belarus and a monument to fighters is envisaged for soviet power, which will complete the formation of the compositional core of the city center. palace of culture, it will later become known as the palace of the republic, in its its significance and scale should have resembled the palace of congresses in moscow. and the construction of the palace of culture began, but they could not complete it. the soviet union ceased to exist and remained on the square. long-term construction, the operator is ready, let's ask people's opinions, good afternoon, maybe i have a question for you, what do you think about the long-term construction in october, i think that this legacy of the soviet past needs to be demolished, so girl,

i think so too, thank you big, let's move on, here's the girl still walking, girl, excuse me, please, can i ask you a question? do you think about this long-term construction on oktyabrskaya? regarding the long-term construction, i don’t know , it’s probably even worth finishing it, maybe something beautiful will turn out, so, well, it’s unlikely to be done in the near future, but i would like to, i think, well, thank you very much, here are some more guys, guys , excuse me, but i have a question for you, what do you think about the long-term construction on oktyabrskaya? we don’t have money in the country, but we still have to live with this sarcophagus for a long time, well, hold out, right? well, how many people, so many opinions. but after about 10 years, the reporting from october square was completely different. let's ask, what

is the opinion of the residents and guests of our capital? i suggest asking a man: men, excuse me, i see you are considering it, but what do you think about the building of the palace of the republic? well, you know, this is a monumental building, it is somewhat similar to the palace of congresses in moscow, understandable, thanks for your opinion, let's ask again, forgive me, please. what do you think about this building? well, i think it’s good that it was rebuilt, but look how the square was transformed right away. you know, i every day i come back from work here and it’s always a pleasure to take a walk. so, thank you very much for your opinion. the fate of the long-term construction was determined thanks to the strong-willed decision of the president of the country to complete the construction of the palace of the republic in the shortest possible time and fit the object into the city ensemble. the monumental building of the palace of the republic, its

opening took place on october 3, 1997, it actually took several years to complete construction, although work continued until 2001, the timing for such a facility is unprecedented, it is still there today 25 years later, it adorns the very center of the capital, although now few people remember what kind of view it is from... it began at the end of the 16th century and it received the name novo mesto, new city. the area

was quickly settled by the local nobility; it was considered a very prestigious place to live. already in the 19th century, a bishop's house was erected here, the residence of the archbishop of the minsk diocese. alexandrovsky square was opened in 1872. good afternoon. good, good afternoon. yes, almost a century and a half has passed, but everything is so elegant, sophisticated, and still pleasing to the eye. you know, this is the first minsk fountain, cupid with the swan, opened in 1874, in honor of the first minsk water pipeline, in the then new alexander square. the main

event was the construction of the city theater in minsk in 1888. the initiator was prince trubetskoy of minsk. the whole world was looking for money, and the construction was also funded by donations from the townspeople. the interior decoration was supervised by vasily mas, the architect of the provincial administration. then all the newfangled trends were used: the main staircase, paintings on the walls, portraits and, of course, stucco. yes, the interior turned out to be rich, one might even say pompous. incredibly,

the first production at the minsk city theater took place already in 1890, since then the theater has become the center of the cultural life of minsk, all kinds of performers have visited here, and even dignitaries, but that’s a completely different story. the historical appearance of the building, which was conceived by the architect karl kozlovsky, was restored only during the period of independence, when large-scale reconstruction and restoration began in 2010; today it is truly a temple of art. in soviet times , the square began to be called a large garden, all around. a whole ensemble was created in it, a new library building, a district house of the red army,

built in the style of constructivism, and later, on the eve of the war , construction began on the building of the central committee of the party, it is also unique, during its construction, it began back in 1941 for the first time in the republic progressive methods were used: covers were made from large prefabricated reinforced concrete parts, and lifting work was carried out using the first tower crane in the history of the republic. over the years , the sovereign state was recreated the historical doom of this beautiful place in the center of the belarusian capital, and with the construction of the palace of the republic building , october square itself was transformed. in 1988, another object appeared on the square, the zero kilometer sign. in previous years

, the report was kept from the heads of the post office, but now it is from here that the distance to the capital is measured. neighboring states, regional and district centers of belarus. i don’t know if i’m hungry or what, but i really want to go on this trip.

so, meet martha, the wife of mindaugas, in the times of which the guests in the novogrod castle were plagued by noble infections. we will show you what they eat in different parts of our country. my brain can’t cope with this very well, because on the one hand i see a viennese waffle, something sweet, something so tender is projected, on the other hand, it’s a potato pancake, a belarusian pancake. look.

did you really come from venezuela itself, of course, then welcome to the world of yodishka, hello, the world of organics and the belarusian cowboy. we study the history of belarus and explore its sights, together with foreigners.

let us once again take a quick excursion from the former adaminak, who is in the lezny district. luscina worked in the pockets of 50 family farmhands. we sell milk, oils, honey, war, horses, and a garden for rent. khristos uvaskros, sapraўdy ўvaskros. let's go, brothers, walking, sleeping. pan god. gospadzi, god, show me the way.

it was to this object that the path could have been much shorter; it was planned that the theater should be located on october square, but how? disputes about what it should be have been going on since 1946, minsk then was being built up. after enormous destruction, everyone agreed on one thing, this is the main administrative center, but the original solution was proposed by joseph langbart, to turn the square towards the large theater. but the history of the construction of the theater in this very place also has its own history, reminiscent of an intrigue

that was resolved unexpectedly, where to build the building of the main theater of the republic, an issue that was actively discussed in the early thirties at all levels, from moscow to belarusian architects and builders.

musical community, theater awarded order of lenin, awarded the right to be called great, bogatyrev’s national opera in the pushchas of polesie, received a state prize. then, in the late forties, the theater was among the top five in the ussr, and today it is one of the best in europe, and not only thanks to its productions, outstanding performers and directors. the architecture of the building by the brilliant langbard also remains unique; it was recreated in early 2000 during a large-scale reconstruction, and today the theater looks

the way the architect wanted it to be. anyone who doesn’t know what osmolovka is. he doesn’t know anything about minsk, i recommend starting to get acquainted with it from here, in kiseleva 23, everything here is the same as it once was in the first post-war years. the famous osmalovka. in fact, this was the first experience in organizing the urban environment in minsk in the early post-war years. it is named after its architect, mikhail stepanovich osmalovsky. construction began... in the most difficult time for the capital in 1945 . rounded attic windows and balconies with columns give the houses a special charm.

it was planned to build 44 such houses, but 40 were erected. due to the expanded space, it was possible to plant more trees; they formed a special environment. the atmosphere, as the residents recalled, has always been there. but the most famous building of the osmolovka is the house under the spire - one of the first high-rise buildings in minsk. 43 m height, a record for those times. it was built in the late forties according to all the laws of classicism, and the decoration was a tower with a spire by the architect belousov. true, at first the tower housed a so -called tower reconnaissance point. the echoes of the war were still very strong. building were built with an eye to use for

military purposes, and the ministry of defense is nearby. this building was also erected in the first post-war years, and curiously, on the site of the monastery buildings, the architect valentin gusev, the author of the project, decided to preserve them. they set the tone for the entire ensemble and the columns in front of the entrance. gave the building a palace look, it is separated from it by the park named after yanka kupala, which divides the embankment, it was founded in 1949, however, then it was called the thirtieth anniversary of the bssr, in 1959 the yanka literary museum was built on the territory of the park kupala. in the place where the singer's house used to be, on the other side

of independence avenue there is also a park in different... children's, and initially it was the governor's garden, the oldest in minsk, and a favorite for the local nobility. it was founded back in 1800, and it resembled a shady garden located on one of the hills near svisloch, and minsk, like rome, stands on seven. century, at the beginning of the 19th century, the city’s first stadium with a bicycle track, a tennis and badminton court, and gymnastics equipment was created here.

noteworthy, you need to get into the park there was a certain dress code to adhere to, people in unpleasant clothes were not allowed here, oh, thank you, thank you, on holidays there was music playing, drinks and mineral water were being sold nearby. coffee and hot tea, beauty! another innovation that appeared here in the fifties, an arch built according to the design of georgy zaborsky in the neoclassical style, the central entrance, stucco molding, decor, vases, is now

a historical and cultural value. victory square is only in the part where two squares separate the residential area from the victory monument, the main symbol of the country and the central highway. this is such a green buffer, it also separates high-rise buildings, they are made in the baroque style and give the square a finished, solemn look, this is where it all began. there was always a stop here, although the transport was different. at the beginning of the 20th century, a horse-drawn line ran here, then tram tracks were laid in soviet times, and today modern buses run. yes, it’s interesting,

on this very spot they are going to build almost the main square of the capital, what do you say, look, write, a round square it will become the threshold of the city center, but there is practically nothing here, plans, grandiose plans, well, that’s how we develop. a large-scale project for the construction of the square began to be carried out in the thirty-eighth year, according to the development plan of minsk, two arched multi-storey residential buildings were erected here, they determined the architectural design of the future square, and

the metro station and the pobe square received the same name... it will only take a little more 10 years and the whole world will know what a symbol of will, inflexibility and fortitude of the belarusian people what will this square be like, the main square of the country, what significance will it have for every resident of the republic.
