and here it is: the black sea of ​​krichev region. this is how the locals jokingly call their favorite vacation spot, which is located near the village of prudok, one of the deepest lakes in belarus. that's why its waters seem dark. in fact , the reservoir is clean, because springs beat from the bottom. some call them the tears of the lake. in ancient times, the inhabitants of sineolka often animated the water element. this brown-eyed miracle was not ignored. they say that the black lake is a memory of the love of a simple cook's son alyoshka promised to a tatar. bookish icing. in

an attempt to disrupt an unwanted wedding, the lovers rushed to flee. after this story, the expression of blinded love acquires genuine drama when the fugitives were caught, and leshka's eyes were gouged out so that he would never see his beloved again. then the runaway bride fell to the ground in that place silvered by the waves of the lake. alyoshka, straining his voice, screamed for a long time. since then, the surrounding area began to be called the place where someone screamed, hence the name of the city, krichev, here are more real.

the origin of the name, according to the first in the surrounding area there were many swamps, of which ore was mined, otherwise it was called krychny iron. some historians see the answer in another craft, one of the nicknames of a blacksmith of that time was krych, but perhaps the most controversial version of the origin of the name from the east slavic tribe krivichi. grodishche gorodets, the place where people first appeared in our city.

century, one of the most ancient cities in the mogilev region rose rapidly, literally, its center moved to the high right bank of the sozh. for the first time, krechev, and literally krechut, is mentioned in the charter smolinsky prince rastislav mstislavovich. according to the record of 1136 , a tribute of 10 hryvnia was taken from the surrounding area. apparently, the exchange rate at that time was very different from the modern one. at that time, krichev was surrounded by a fortress, now only the name of the ancient settlement, the castle hill, reminds us of it. krichev castle reached its heyday in the 15th century, when the fortification was considered one of the most important border castles of the grand duchy of lithuania, three centuries later its decline began. the need for a border fortress disappeared after the first partition of the polish-lithuanian commonwealth, when part of belarus departed. russian empire. the last

written mention of the building was recorded in 1780. the abandoned castle began to collapse, it was not restored, and therefore its complete disappearance was only a matter of time, but still something interesting for tourists has been preserved. the remains of an ancient rednik, presumably from the 16th century. still an analogue of a cellar, allowing you to maintain the temperature at + 5-9 ° throughout the summer. thus, meat and fish did not spoil, the absence of all the benefits of civilization forced to show ingenuity. the glacier is built of finger brick. if you look closely, you will see traces of the master's fingers. they say that thanks to this unique technique, part of the glacier managed to survive. which cannot be said about

the st. nicholas church. the local temple appeared here almost at the same time as the castle, and this. century, however, according to local residents, it burned down during the second world war and was restored in 1944, and according to another legend, there was a pagan temple on this site. once upon a time on these lands pagans sacrificed to their gods, large horned animals and even captured enemies. the rituals continued until a voice from above rang out, threatening heavenly punishment. it... made the inhabitants pray to take root the new faith, the christian one. it is easy to guess that the name of the city is associated with this divine cry. according to archaeologists, the monument of wooden architecture , which stood on this site before

the fire, is the first christian church in the city. after the signing of the union of brescia in 1596 st. nicholas church shared the fate of others... unlike other buildings on the castle hill, here indeed, the power is in faith.

in a short period of time, thanks to state support.

i love immeasurably what i do and do what i love. now we are in the building of the belarusian painting museum. it took 35 years to prepare, collect materials, study. there are bacteria in the soil that work like endorphins. and a person receives.

this is another place of power, a military, zabelyshynsky passage, located on one from the historical outskirts of the city. during the same northern war, in august 1708, the russian army was stationed here. it was led by peter ii, the last tsar of all russia, who justified. fords for the troops to cross, the swedes were taken by surprise. under the leadership of general galitsyn

and the cavalry of prince menshikov , the enemy vanguard was defeated in a fierce two-hour battle on august 30, 1708. losses of the army of charles xii. the troops forded the sosh river and settled in krichev. this unique spring for the locals also flows here, they say that tsar peter himself drank water from it. ice cold, but very tasty. and so that the memory of koronov-novogost's arrival would not be erased by time, the residents called the healing spring petrova, and the place - petrov meadow. maybe a name. the local waters gave the russian tsar such fighting power. the long twenty

-one-year war ended with the victory of the russians , a new state appeared on the map - the russian empire. and the first all-russian emperor peter received the nickname the great. and yet, what sacred meaning does this seemingly powerful word, great, have for belarusians when it comes to war. not northern. and the bloodiest in the history of mankind, the great patriotic war. in the summer of 1941, the war reached krichev. fascist tanks were breaking through to the city, units of the thirteenth red army were retreating, only the sixth rifle division and a nineteen-year-old gunner, kolya sirotinin, with the help of ... destroy 57 soldiers and officers.

everyone bows to courage equally, even enemies. nikolai serotinin was buried with all honors by the fascists. and the german colonel said that if all the fuhrer's soldiers fought like this russian, we would have conquered the whole world long ago, the confirming record of oberleutnant friedrich henfield is now kept in the krichev historical museum. the place of memory is the victory park. it was founded in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the great october revolution. the mound and the alley of glory, the monument to the afghans and the plane. with a memorial plaque eternal memory to the hero, the story of this pilot is not

connected with the war, he saved the city in peacetime. on june 4, 1964, captain viktor dashkin took the crashed su-9 plane to quarry. he paid for the future of the local residents with priceless currency, his life. the entire history of krichev is woven with examples of incredible courage and indifference, they also remember here another local hero of our time, the feat of vasily vashchila went down in the history of the city as a popular uprising of 1740-44. the grandson of bohdan khmelnytsky, as vasily vashchila called himself, led a mass uprising that lasted almost 4 years. armed peasants attacked the estates of the gentry and the houses of merchants.

pilasters, walls and windows decorated with orcish niches. the monument of gothic architecture appeared here in 1850. once this place was an important crossroads on the gosudarev tract from moscow to warsaw, the building housed the first post office of the city. now with one click of the phone you can deliver a letter to any point in the world, but earlier this was done with the help of horses. it is a pity that the local stables have not survived to this day, they say that in those days, the station contained

about ten horses, the phrase could be seen more in the grav estate, that for belarusians the usual life for others maybe... real exotic, good morning, friends, rooster, yes, we have it like that, good morning, and how is your rooster? in an unfamiliar city, you need to start in the museum, where i will tell you how to build the right route to see interesting places, but it is easy to become your own in a foreign country, you just need to get acquainted with its history and culture, this is

a five-hundred-year-old oak tree, wow?

objectively, do not miss the new releases on the belarus 24 tv channel . welcome to the princely palace of the 14th century.

according to some information, it was designed by the same master who built the tauride palace in st. petersburg. architect ivan starov, it took almost 10 years to build for the new krichevsky owner. it is not difficult to guess who was the owner of the estate, the clue is in the most prominent place, and it is the palace itself, you just have to look at it from above. the building is made in the form of a monogram of two letters: p and e. these are the initials of the owner of the palace, the count. in 1776, she granted these lands to her third official favorite. only one visit of the empress to the palace is known for sure. in january 1787, during travel to the crimea, the state did not stop

overnight at the prince's. in those days, the table was set exactly like this, perhaps. one of these cutlery, made of family silver, was held in the hands of the crazy empress herself. their first acquaintance took place in the distant 1762, when the twenty-two-year-old son of a poor smolinsk landowner participated in a palace coup, thanks to which catherine was elevated to the throne. potemkin tried in every way to charm the empress, who was 10 years older, but without... result, until in 1769 he voluntarily went to the russo-turkish war, where he distinguished himself considerably with his talent as a commander, the loving heart of the great woman thawed at the sight of the matured major general. it is known that catherine ii very quickly appreciated potemkin's leadership qualities, his ability to govern

the state, to develop the military power of the state, therefore these moments, at that time for the russian empire. including for catherine, since she needed a strong male hand, they played a decisive factor, but of course, about the personal character traits of both potemkin and catherine today there are various legends and opinions, but first of all, the relationship at the level of the entire russian empire and their significance for the state at that time were fundamental. they say that grafotkina and catherine ii even secretly married, such a marriage is called. manganetic, with it the husband of an unequal position did not acquire the same high status as the wife, and some historians even claim that the newlyweds had a child. the mystery of the appearance of a baby in the estate in 1775 has not been solved to this day. pedigree daughter of count elizabeth

is only half known for certain. according to the customs of that time , she inherited only part of the surname, temkina, from her father. the tangled love story of count potemkin and catherine ii definitely requires clarification. so was there an official marriage? you know, today it’s definitely hard to say, i’ll give you two versions, and then you and the viewers can decide for yourselves, if we still believe the fact that the marriage between potemkin and catherine was concluded, then we can cite the following facts from history: definitely it is known that during the period of this child's birth, catherine was not in st. petersburg, she left for moscow, and as official sources say, at that moment, when the girl was supposed to be born, catherine suffered from food indigestion. from unwashed fruit, but perhaps, perhaps, at that moment, at that time , the girl was born, who was later named elizabeth. and why did she only partially

inherit her father's surname, it was simply customary at that time for suburban palace surnames to drop the first syllable surnames, therefore not elizaveta potemkina, but elizaveta temkina. it must be said that the girl's fate was quite successful, she received higher education on a paid basis. not everyone could afford it at that time, she married a military man, a greek by origin, christopher kolageorgiy, gave birth to 10 children from him, six girls and four boys and lived a happy family life, and initially elizaveta was raised by potemkin's sister, that is, this says a lot, but also the fact that later subsequently, the fate of this girl was followed, yes, it says that she, grigory potemkin , was not... a stranger, but i repeat, perhaps this is the daughter of potemkina ekaterina, perhaps this is the daughter of one of potemkin's many mistresses at that time, yes, there is such

a historical fact. it is good that today palace weddings do not cause such a number of disputes. in one of the parts of the estate , the local legislative assembly is located, after all, most of the architectural monument of the 16th century is occupied by museum halls. some of them repeat interiors of that time. the estate manager's room, a buffet, a dining room, a sofa, and the maiden's boudoir. the hall , which tells the history of the palace, is made in the style of a winter garden ; you can learn about the county itself in the library office since 1772. under the management of count grigory potemkin, krichev became one of the major industrial centers of the russian empire. up to 300 workers worked at the parusina factory alone. in 1783, 820 pieces of sailcloth were made there, which were later used to make

sails for ships, but the most successful the decision of the most serene prince was to open a shipbuilding base in the city, and it made him famous. she learned that the construction of a shipyard on the sosh river was carried out by a famous ancestor. in 1785 , 25 ships were launched here, a flotilla of 13 yachts and twelve mushroom ships for catherine's travels. over time, shipbuilding in krichev fell into decline. big business literally became small. we are heading to the local creativity center. for children and youth to see miniature models of ships that several centuries ago ploughed the sea expanses.

a native of menka goes to the village to find out how it is better than the city, you are a real modern belarusian guslar. yes, you have five children, yes, i was really drawn to nature, i just realized that nature is generally my priority in life, so, in general, i gave up everything, i already missed this space right in the city, i missed nature, you studied, lived and worked in moscow, then at one wonderful moment in your life you needed to return here to your historical homeland, to look after your grandmother, after you converted your parents' house into a stable, horse site, why horses, because other animals also need help, to each his own, but by and large horses are such a childhood illness.

what, what can i say, the only thing that relaxed in me is something somewhere down there, everything that is here cheeks, in particular the entire speech apparatus, eyes, spine, everything for some reason tensed up, i am from the village, watch on the belarus 24 tv channel, the most current event from the world of sports, 25 medals in total were won by the youth national athletics team of belarus in the framework of the match meeting. against the russian team, work and discipline give results, this is the principle by which the bobruisk dynamo shinnik works this off-season, persistent training , exciting competitions, when you lift the cup, that's the very first time, probably, these are the most emotional moments, of course, but now there is a new season already, you need to prepare, defend this title, exclusive interview with athletes, a lot of people love hockey in general quite good and...

belarus 24. as i already said, krichev is the only center of shipbuilding in the 18th century, it all started with a galley on which catherine ii herself traveled. this is a steam-rowing vessel, 40 oars, that is, 20 benches, it was about 120 people just rowing in the complete absence of wind, and there were also two sails, naturally

there was artillery weapons, cannons were standing. well, and accordingly there was a kayot company for royal persons. it was a fairly large vessel, about 30 m in length, perhaps one of the largest built at the krichev shipyard. it was equipped entirely by krichev manufactories, krichev timber, ropes, krichevskie, krichev sailcloth, that is, it was entirely built here. and how did it happen that shipbuilding fell into decline when did this happen? it was already after potemkin's death and after catherine's death. secondly, the fleet in principle fell into decline completely, ushakov died, catherine died, potemkin died, and military operations at sea were conducted so off the top of my head only in 1803 during the war with sweden on there were no military actions in the baltic, in the black sea, and accordingly the fleet was not really needed there, well, naturally the city belonged to potemkin, the manufactories came to an end, there was no sale

of canvas, there was no sale of ropes, the ship. the timber was also not needed, all this naturally fell into decay. today's craftsmen recreate the ship only in miniature, under the professional and sensitive guidance of alexey tetov, who had a dream of becoming a shipbuilder in early childhood. at the age of 6 i got to the sea, well, let's say, handsome alexander pushkin - this is the liner, cosmonaut yuri agarin on the roadstead, led to these ships, more modern knowledge. russian imperial navy, i was interested, studied history, again led to the creation of these models of ships, well, do not think that this is purely just me doing, no, we have a union with the guys, we built this with the boys, well, i see, there are a lot of small details, how many of these holes did you say in this model, 1388, how much time do you need to spend on just half a year on the pauba, the guy sat, the guy

drilled, the guy processed a... any person can master this skill or it is necessary for this at different levels of course anyone, especially if you use sets of models, there are such sets, then in fact any person buy carefully studying the instructions, slowly, carefully doing everything, can build a model of any ship, there are some signs, for example, they say when you leave a city, it is necessary.
