i believe that it is only thanks to this belief that the castle hill still stands in its place. at its foot is a source of health, the krenichka spring, a unique, healing place. interesting observation: the water temperature, as in most holy springs, regardless of the time of year, is unchanged, this one is 8.7°... and chemical analysis showed that the water contains more than 15 mineral substances. it turns out that it is in no way inferior to its imported counterpart. on the castle hill there are frequent guests and adult children, but only if you suddenly decide to go up, be extremely attentive. firstly, i must warn you: they say the place is anomalous, and secondly, there is nothing to do here as an acrophobe. height approx. 15 m, but our film crew

does everything for the sake of a beautiful picture, i can’t say how long the climb lasted, but it immediately became clear that the descent down would turn into a whole ordeal, but the view that opens onto one of the most ancient cities of sineokaya is worth it . kopal added 268 years to his age. it turns out that the city was founded not in 1274, but in... currently, the original is kept in russian state library in moscow, in the collection of the troitsky-sergius monastery. as for the settlement, in the 11th-13th centuries it housed the children of the chronicle city, where the prince lived with his younger retinue. later in the 14th century.

a castle appeared here and this place began to be called a castle, to the east of the mountain there was a roundabout town, to the west on the right bank of the kaminka river, a rural settlement; by the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries, the appearance of the town of kopal was formed on these lands. the settlement began from the fortification, the castle hill, in the center... all historical buildings have been preserved. each building and old city building has its own history. here, let's say, in this, the classic of belarusian literature yanko kupala read his works. today, only a memorial plaque reminds of the historical moment. if you believe the memories of an old-timer, kopol had very dense wooden buildings. the houses stood right next to each other, especially those with commercial activities. square and if there was a fire,

the entire street burned out. this worried kopylyan; already at the beginning of the 20th century, a fire association, headed by naum kleenburd. he ordered fire watches to be performed every night, and to prevent fire , there should be water barrel ladders in front of each house. if the conditions were not met, the owner of the home was subject to a large fine. yes, they fought fires, but not always successfully. one of the worst happened in 1900. he practically destroyed the central part of kopyl, but the building of the leather workshop was preserved. dmitry zhelunovich, aka tishkagartny. in minsk, two streets are named in honor of the belarusian poet: zhelunovich and gartnov. this at one time caused a flurry of indignation among scientists, despite the fact that

gartny is zhelunovich’s creative and writing pseudonym. as a result, one of the capital’s streets was renamed elnitskaya. tishki gartnov street appeared in grodna mogilev, and zhilunovich and tishki gartnov street appeared in kopyl. this memorial sign, made by local craftsman vladimir bondarenko, is the only one in the country that was installed in honor of the master of the word. but it now stands not at the walls of the leather workshop, but at the entrance to the kopol local history museum. over time, the gorbarny turned into it. to make shoes , a wooden block was used, which was called kopyl. it was on this wooden block that the leather was stretched and the sole was made. and from the word kopyl - one of the versions the name of our town comes from. the uniqueness of the museum is that the exhibits here are authentic; almost all artifacts were found during excavations of the kopal settlement. this is what the interior looked like.

walls characteristic of a city dweller's estate late xix, early xx centuries. for example, this siphon was manufactured at the selka venera plant and was intended for fruit water. and my courage. don’t be surprised, because the local museum is a truly unique place where exhibits can, and sometimes even need to be touched with your hands. almost every saturday, the museum hosts the “guardians of happiness” wedding ceremony. young lovers are immersed in the atmosphere of a bygone century. they are given a retro photo shoot.

and this document is no exception. one day a young man was detained in a sobering center and he tried in every possible way to prove that he was right and even got hold of this certificate of recommendation, which says it in black and white. he was distinguished by honesty, diligence in his work, excellent behavior and, most importantly, sobriety. we are talking about the young man's grandfather. the document is located in the part of the exhibition that... reproduces the inn. in kopol, she was visiting and was located in the old urban area. in those days, before entering establishments, people paid attention to the branch of kolosyev, which hung above the entrance. lifted up, drinks fresh, down - expired. thus, the owner of the tavern maintained his reputation. and we,

in order to save our time, will go to another museum, which is dedicated to the life of the labor biography of the hero of belarus and academician of the national.

we develop, when it is useful , we implement something, something is constantly being produced, it turns out that the consumer also makes his choice in ours in his department and in other departments, we are always so proud and so happy as from a manufacturer, you don’t imagine, an approach to business that everyone should strive for. what is vinegar production? this is actually, to be honest, a specialty for which the most responsible people in the enterprise. work for me is joy, it is pleasure and results, it is stability, confidence in the future. my work is life for me. they always say to me: you go to work, smile, you go home from work, smile, we go forward, we move, and we are here

too, so come to us, see how we live, watch the project, the quality mark on the belarus 24 tv channel. good boundaries belarus with svetlana borovskaya is a fascinating acquaintance with unusual people. my name is olga, i am the owner of this institution, a cultural institution, a house of crafts. i thought there was no one here, once a week, who would come. hello. here’s the most important question: how did you choose? so you’re sitting on the sofa and thinking, what kind of business would you start? secrets of a good mood, let's drive our bus and kick it, come on, come on, come on, good morning belarus, zhenya, how beautiful it is, oh, girls, leave me a couple of buns to put, give me a couple of buns, myself,

herself, herself, and many more interesting educational stories, now they still want such fashionable breads, in addition to very simple... ordinary ones, some without flour, some without sugar, some with additives, so that everything we’re doing it, we’ll imagine everything, you’ll see everything, today in the house of crafts we have restored all types of folk belts, look. on the tv channel belarus 24, he comes to you on an excursion, and you send him to the zaks after some time, the path from an assistant mechanic to the hero of belarus was thorny, this is the name of vysotsky today everyone hears, and perhaps the lazy one doesn’t compare him with the founder of the belarusian truck industry with the american henry ford. more than 300 models of trucks and six

generations of automotive equipment were created under the leadership of mikhail stepanovich. everyone hears the imaz-2000 as a legendary truck from the future. in the first hall of the museum house there are all exhibits related to the academician’s industrial and social life. i believe, on the contrary , there is an ethnographic exhibition, the objects are all in the same place as during the life of the hero of belarus. until the age of 18, mikhail vysotsky lived in this parental home, they say from childhood, he was a very hardworking child, woke up no later than 6:00 in the morning, later drove the geese out into the street, returned, his task was to peel these four cast iron potatoes and put them into the oven, respectively. so it’s not a feasible burden for a child, in fact, it’s heavy, of course, like

all the boys, they ran, for example, to the yakaterillsky tract, that is, the road that goes to moscow, they really loved, for example, so to speak, to look after heavy vehicles that pass here, and of course it was a great joy, someday some kind uncle will let you sit, for example, behind the wheel of a car , turn this steering wheel, since then, probably, it has developed like this, so to speak, tsars, so is called a local ritual that combines elements of carnival and folk drama. it was included in the

unesco list of intangible cultural heritage, and you can take part in it when you arrive here on the night of january 13-14. they have been weaving in the kopal region since time immemorial. radevils they encouraged this business, specifically settled escochi here, and exported finished products to ukraine along the moroch river. there, local towels and belts were in special demand, and today many people weave them, you can often find boys weaving them, in the regional center they work in unique techniques for laying red and white towels, it is included in the state list of historical and cultural values ​​of belarus, the basics of the ancient i’ll try to understand the craft with the help of folk artist valentina kieni, it turns out that it’s not enough to just sit down to the crown, the process is very... delicate, it requires perseverance and patience, push through, oh, you

need to do it hard, well, yes, as i already nailed everything, 1, 2, 3, stronger, even stronger, yes, and now go to these two, bruise yourself , on two at once, yes, with two legs, yes, so, there is, what’s next, well, i’m just stupid, oh, tsyaper... we tuck it in and start laying again, then we laid the sides with threads from that, only semezhevits own this technique they say that at one time they surpassed even the slutsk weavers; their white and red towels are known not only in belarus and abroad. valentina mikhailovna, for example, to weave something like this takes a week and a half, no less, and tourists can have a hand in the tradition of mortgage weaving, and especially patient ones can even... weave a patterned fabric. local craftswomen will be happy to share their secrets of craftsmanship.

we thank the folk artist and head to the western outskirts of the village of kudenoviche. stones in traditional belarusian culture are not just part of the landscape. they could, and some still do to this day. capable of fulfilling a wish to heal from ailments, it was believed that the larger the stone and the more unusual its shape, the more amazing abilities it has. trace stones are considered sacred. it is believed that jesus christ, the mother of god and st. nicholas left their traces on them. there are many cases where animal paw prints were also noticed. andrey, i know that there are more than 70 investigators in belarus, what makes this unique? it has a unique healing property that can,

for example, improve people’s vision, that is, it is a large lump of, therefore, vyborg pink. according to legend, sledoviki stones appeared back at the time of the creation of the world, then they were soft and people walked on them like grass, but one day the mother of god hit her foot on the stone, and since then the boulders have stopped growing. as you understand, most of the attractions in kopalshchyna are concentrated in the area.

we continue our journey. we are in the village of telyadovicha to see the oldest wooden orthodox church in the area. the road of happiness leads to the temple. it was laid out by hand by local women over the course of 3 months. and let it exist here relatively recently, only about a year, and local tourists unanimously assure that all wishes will definitely come true. well, since the road to happiness is, perhaps, beyond... i give myself real female happiness, let's see if it comes true? the church of the holy life-giving trinity was built in 1792 in kakuniadsky at the denizitsa benedictine convent. telyadovicha belonged to him at that time, then the church turned into a catholic church, later into an orthodox one. during

the soviet years, service continued there, even after the others were closed. this year orthodox. 227 years old, and since the ancient church building is not heated, a small winter room was built nearby, in which services are held from the feast of the intercession of the most holy theotokos to palm resurrection. nearby is a chapel, which was illuminated in honor of the martyr of the temple’s patron, valerian of navid. in 1930. the priest was arrested and put in sludsk prison, and a month later he was shot in the vicinity of the village of timkovich. instead of burial unknown. hieromartyr valerian of navidsky was included in the clique in 2000. in kupel

holy water from various sources. it is brought here by clergy and parishioners. as the rector of the temple says. father gennady, the geography is wide, from rome to jerusalem. we also have a cup, then we play some water, crossed ourselves with god’s help. he drank a cold one, good, they drank cold water and washed themselves, they stood on the rocks, you know how... it becomes and how deep it is, there are nine rings inside and a tenth at the top, we always have six rings of water there, so well , there are two empty rings and that's how much water we have here all year round, in general, how much no tourists would come to visit you, but we

are returning. to see the only ancient temple preserved in the city. at the end of the 14th and beginning of the 18th century, there were three wooden orthodox churches in kopol, one of them stood on this site, then a stone one appeared, and 14,500 rubles were allocated from the state treasury for its construction. it’s hard to say how much it is today. the famous philanthropist rayton, who was famous for his generosity, had a hand in the construction, or rather capital. 632 peasant households. v at the beginning of the 20th century there was a kopolsky parish. 5,246 parishioners. the church uses 55 acres of land. like any other temple on the territory

of belarus during the soviet period, kopolsky also experienced difficult times. the rector of the church, vladimir pasternatsky, secretly wrote down the names of the people he baptized. and according to all the canons of that time, the punishment was not long in coming. first, 2 years in a correctional labor colony, later released, again arrested and sentenced to death. during the war years , the church parish united 22 villages. spasa voznesenskaya was renovated in 1952 and 1954. the church was closed again on november 10, 61 only. in the early nineties, it resumed its activities, by the way, in the kupol region, believers of different faiths always got along peacefully, no conflicts arose,

although churches of other faiths did not survive in the city, on the site where the church of the holy apostles peter and paul stood in the 19th century, today the building catering, on the contrary - a new catholic church. a cozy school yard, once in its place there was a synagogue. unfortunately, to this day there is nothing remains of a unique architectural ensemble. and even looking at old photos, it is impossible to say for sure where the jewish temple stood. we can only guess. once upon a time there were two synagogues in kopol, a summer one and a winter one. there is no reliable information about eishiva; it is quite possible that it was not in the city of pomin, since a native of this place, the world-famous classic of jewish literature, mendali

moikhersforim, studied in the village of timkovitsa. by the way, the houses nearby are also part of the old jewish buildings. this is a memorial board in memory of the descriptor. moicher with forium laid the foundation of the modern literary language of the jews. in this place stood the house in which the world appeared in the year 835, and after which the classics of jewish literature lived for a long time. today there is a department store building here. the creator of the best-selling book fishka the lame mendel moikher with forii and the author of the first belarusian novel virgin land juices, tishka gartny, are not the only writers native to the kopal region. this is also the small homeland of kuzma cherny, adam rusak. and oles adamovich. in two minutes walk from the house in which mendel and moicher lived, we will build a memorial sign on the site

of the former kopol geta. it was installed in memory of the fiftieth anniversary of the tragedy that claimed the lives of 3,000 jews. and a five- minute drive away is the old jewish cemetery. let's go there. the cemetery is located outside the synagogue courtyard; the burials date back to the second half of the 16th century and the mid- 19th century. on some of them you can still read the inscriptions: a unique motzeva with the image of a seven-legged tree has been preserved. seven-veshnik - female gender attribute, and if, for example , a violin is depicted on matzevo, this is the burial of a jewish musician, similar to... the old jewish cemetery in kopol is adjacent to burial mounds. in general

, the burials themselves begin behind the castle hill. there are 13 mounds preserved on the territory of the city cemetery. in the 10th-2nd centuries they lined up in a chain. tatiana, tell me, how did our ancestors prepare for the burial procedure? they probably had some special rituals. for this, originally the place where it was done burial, was cleansed by fire, since our ancestors believed in the cleansing power of fire, then the ashes of the deceased person were collected in a clay pot, which was called, and the urn was made into an embankment, in which case the height of the embankment then depended on what, the more people there were in the family, the and...

there are more than 400 burial mounds in the region, the height of those preserved in kopol itself is from 2.5 to 3 m. nostalgic tourism came to us from western european countries. during such trips, people hope to find at least some reminder of a loved one. residents in israel, for example, genealogical travel to the countries of central and eastern europe is especially popular. belarus, for historical reasons, is also one of the most popular destinations. well, the time has come to say goodbye to kopol switzerland, but for some reason i am sure that we will definitely return here, because this place still has many secret mysteries, although what am i talking about, you yourself understand what else to expect from a city

that is for one a year has aged... by as much as 300 years, we will return, and you come and discover the kopol for yourself. the song of the iradzim remains, everything can change, if the yans are not fallen, you will not meet the smoke of the spring, it will be clear, only this will not be

an hour. belarus became my homeland for me, i studied at the belist topographical technical school and was assigned to the city of minsk, i came

seemingly temporarily, i got everything... i already live here more than 2/3 of my life, i started working in the ninety-first year , i work to this day, i can even say that i am a little involved in the history of our enterprise, my name is nikolaigin, i work head of production at rodoshkolsky. the motto of our company: warm, comfortable, durable,

my day... begins at 5:00 in the morning, regardless of any weather, whether winter or summer, heat, cold, rain, i get up at 5:00, at 7:30 i arrive at the plant, walk around the areas, find out what breakdowns there are, what questions about the operation of the equipment, this is where my work day begins, well, denis, how are we doing, show me, i’ll take a look. everything is fine, there are no stones, i can’t hear anything today, the feeder turns off, everything slows down, everything is as it should be, so, but as we work with runners, nothing is knocked out anywhere, and the first ones are second, there are no pencils.
