three traditional bakings of bread and four slaughterhouses are part of the intangible cultural decline of belarus.

bravery, honor, nobility, knights had qualities that have no price and were always ready for exploits. today we will be transported to the times of medieval battles and brave warriors at the iconic historical festival. the international festival of medieval culture and music our grunald has been held for 14 years, dedicated to military secular culture, the traditions of our ancestors, called to form and strengthen respect for the glorious history of our homeland. the central event of the festival is a large-scale reconstruction of episodes of the battle of grünal, which took place on a hilly field near the prussian revenge. grunald july 15, 1410

. at the end of the 14th century, the dominance of the tefton order in europe was enormous and the grand duchy of lithuania was under severe military-political pressure. by combining their forces, the allied army of the grand duchy of lithuania and poland moderated the overwhelming appetite for land, weakened the crusaders, thereby ending more than two centuries of military conflict for many centuries to come. after a lost battle. the order was never able to recover from the defeat and soon ceased to exist. the price of victory was also high for our ancestors. about half of the soldiers of the army of the grand duchy of lithuania remained forever on the battlefield near the town of grunwald. the dudutki museum complex, on the territory of which the festival is held, has turned into a city of the 14th century with its customs, foundations, rules, taking guests to the great era of valor, bravery, courage and honor. here street performance is taking place. theaters,

master classes on medieval dances, tournaments, the sounds of medieval music can be heard everywhere. and, of course, there are always workshops for making armor, casting jewelry, stone processing, and making weapons. knight's. culture appeared in a feudal environment. the classic symbol of the middle ages is a knight in armor with a weapon in his hands. first of all, they were professional warriors. a real medieval knight had to come from a noble knightly family and know his pedigree, at least up to the fifth generation. have a family coat of arms and motto. the title of knighthood was inherited or given by the king at an initiation ceremony for military exploits. the icon harness armor and ceremonial armor were

real works of art; physical strength was required from the knight, otherwise he simply would not be able to wear armor that weighed over 60 kg. alexey, good afternoon, hello, our grunald festival is taking place for the fourteenth time, tell us about the history of the festival, because from the very beginning you have been working here, let’s say, as simply as possible, in one from the first years of this festival , we didn’t quite have visa requirements for a trip to grünald, which is held annually in poland, and we decided, since most of us could not go there, then we will make our own grünald here, and that’s it the name was born, and so the festival was born.

phason, it begins with the viking age, the so-called, that is, from the 9th century, ends with napoleonics, the first world war, the second world war, if we only look at our middle ages, then this is relatively speaking, from about 13 to 17 century, this festival is more dated around the end of the 14th, beginning of the 15th century. please tell us about the participants, how many are participating in the festival this year? this year there are not so many, i don’t know the reasons, but i think we have no more than 3 participants. please tell us about the tournaments and these traditional fights, which are presented at the festival and what are the features? there are no special features, everything is within the framework of tradition, these are equestrian tournaments, these are foot knightly tournaments, that is, with bladed weapons

, mainly, and mass tournaments that we now we are conducting according to international sports rules, the so-called rule of historical medieval battles, these are fights of three. and buhurts wall to wall, or with some additional, let’s say, restrictions on the site, that is, it’s either the capture of a bridge, or it’s an assault on a castle and some other things, alibardists, halberdiers - let’s say this is such an innovation, that is, in at one time , there were more people in the masses who used long weapons, and against this background they stood out separately and became like this, let’s say the newest innovation is a tournament spearmen, but he is very strong very strong. is growing, but most likely this is due to the fact that this requires a minimum amount of armor and a large amount of desire. alexey, you are a competition judge, please tell us how difficult it is to judge medieval battles. okay, let's start with some definitions. a judge is the one who makes decisions in criminal cases,

in administrative cases, and my, my status is that of a marshal. that is, if translated into sports language, this is a sports referee, not judge. to confuse, we are not making judgments here, we are not passing sentences, we are just making sure that the rules are followed, that they are correct and the net result. if we take it within the framework of battles, this kind of sports competition begins to prevail here, if earlier all these tournaments, they were formed for some reason, that is, conditionally, there are people of a high class, all they do in their lives is war. crusades, war with each other, and so on and so forth. and if there are no wars, they cannot sit in the saddle, they cannot sit there, they cannot i know.

additional rule as a result they continue to do what they love, less therefore the weapons were dulled, injuries were caused, fewer deaths, everyone is happy, everyone is happy, with horses the equestrian tournament is as close as possible to the original, armor for battle, even for riders, they were lighter, but there, in fact, any skirmish practically ended with the death of one of the fighters, or if it was wall to wall, there were also a large number of injuries in order to minimize all of this . began to develop separately as type of tournament armor, its thickness has increased, the mobility of, let's say, joints has increased, as a result, as a result , relatively light and mobile armor has turned out to be very strong, powerful, which,

let's say, can serve its owners for several years, and even decades, but what they do on horseback is as close as possible and maximally adapted to the conditions. well, these full-contact equestrian tournaments, they are actively held in the world, or belarus is one of the countries that observes this tradition, yes, they are held, but again, everything here is associated with an expensive component of all these things, because to maintain a horse, and even more so to maintain a horse that is suitable for tournaments and which will obey, in principle, relatively speaking, any rider, because that periodically, well , a person from one country comes to us, our guys... give him a horse, it needs to be trained so that it obeys any rider, and this is

expensive and not as common as foot tournaments, like landfills wall wall like fights fives, threes and all the other things, well, this is also art, this is the elite and status, naturally, status is a very true word, but tell me more, after all, about chivalry today can be considered art, everything that can be considered art brings pleasure.

harvest and not lose quality, since with an increase in yield, in some cases , dilution occurs, a decrease in the amount of nutrients. we mix the ingredients, which consist of clay, sawdust and sand. and we end up with a product called shaky. all the characters are completely different, what unites them? desire to achieve the best result, our consumer

who buys our product can check whether the brick is of high quality or not, so we emit a ringing sound, which means the quality of the product corresponds, because few people know, but rapeseed oil is very close in the composition of fatty acids to olive oil, and although we don’t have our own olives in belarus, but we do have excellent modern varieties and hybrids of rapeseed. watch the project one day on our tv channel. independence of truth. 3 july - holiday of our memory. we are all united by the great victory over the common enemy, the countries of the hitler alliance. it teaches us to protect peace by any means of deterrence. every year the role of the sco in world politics increases. the london hegemon looks at the world as its property, as a result,

the world today is in the deepest crisis, the best response to the challenges in global politics will be our unity and cohesion. with the admission of belarus to the sco, the organization acquired a certain trans-regional character, an enterprise of this kind is the only one in the country, they produce more than 20 million products per year. we purchased pressing equipment and new molding lines. to the festival site, restalishche - an area for equestrian and knightly competitions, tournaments and

buhurts - one of the most striking spectacles of the holiday. buhurt, from old french to strike , was a knightly tournament in which two groups of knights armed with blunt weapons fought against each other. unusual battle atmosphere. at the command of the captains, the opposing sides attacked in groups or alone, are created loud screams, noise from blows and collisions. as part of the festival, a full-contact equestrian tournament on solid wooden spears is held in two disciplines according to the rules of the 15th century. horse fights with spears and group fights with wooden clubs. or steel swords. this is an incredibly exciting colorful show, built according to the canons of medieval ceremonies. a series of difficult tests for archers. during the qualifying and main rounds, various stages take place. shooting at moving and stationary targets, shooting from different distances while moving with an unstable platforms. a tournament of allibardists in belarus,

and throughout europe as a whole. as a result of one of the largest battles of the medieval world in its entirety. reenactors with theatrical chatter and historical accuracy leaf through the great pages of the history of our lands. a victory worthy of pride and respect, thanks to the festival, the memory of the feat of our ancestors is still alive. yulia burlo was with you, we follow the cultural taboo.

money, what’s wrong with work, i just somehow, well, don’t like it, i prefer... to think rather than do, nikita, they seem to have increased the pace, but again there’s still the same five points behind, due to why should we try to reduce them, due to self-confidence, probably in ourselves, due to the fact that i know all the answers, just everything, well, you told me, watch in the intellectual and entertainment shows on the belarus 24 tv channel.
