[000:00:00;00] it will be very expensive to build a house or an ecological clay plasterboard from spruce, masters charge a lot, for example, if you sew with reeds, they charge $300, i thought for a square meter with the material, it is more expensive than to make it from tiles, if you put it that way, i for example, i know, not far from lviv , no more than 20 kilometers, uh, a young programmer built himself a two-story house completely out of clay, i... i was surprised myself , i came, i came to a friend, he has his own house not far away, i came there, i i say, what is he saying, and such a promoter, he could buy for himself, there is money there, but he built, ordered people and paid more money for two mobile houses made entirely of clay. the trend for eco-building really exists, although it is not cheap, and along with this trend

, another trend for the restoration of houses authentic to different regions has begun to emerge. this idea became especially popular among young people who decided to change life in the big city to life in the village. this is my childhood house. practically, i cut here for up to 10 years, then left for lviv and rarely came back here. already closer to that the war that started. somehow instinctively we started to come here more often and little by little to bring some sort of order, to culture everything around us. vasyl is a restorer and artist, his company deals with the restoration of monumental art, frescoes and paintings. there are 200 m2 and more, that is, these are temples, our tenements in the center of lviv, whole houses, where the history goes back to 1500 years ago, as it was

gothic, and then. renaissance, then baroque, then rococo, then the soviet union came and painted it all. so we pull it back. olya is a craftswoman who creates stage images for artists' performances, various shootings and photo shoots. none of them ever planned life in the village. i didn't want to live in the village, but not at this moment, in general. well, you just need to understand how it all looked here until today. well, here, here is a house from the 50s , they lived here. other people lived here , other people’s things were left here, furniture, clothes, clothes all over the closets, there are mice in the attic, what is the name of the barn, the barns, it kept somewhere, and i didn’t feel that it was some, well, this is some kind of my space, but it was necessary to make a lot of effort to get through these things and start

creating my life. now class, absolutely , absolutely, that is, i went here, olya did not go, i went with my friends, we painted here and there, drank beer, grilled kebabs there, did little household chores, but somehow the moment came when olya started to go, and actually that , what you can see at the moment is really heaven and earth, because there was a forest here, an abandoned house, for a long time vasyl was not interested in the history of his father's house, but he was lucky to have someone nearby... who has answers to all questions . his father bought the land in 1923. he worked for mr. as a forester. i came here in 1959. there was an old house here and it was already built. they were building a test. testboy, he was

disabled during the second patriotic war. he received some money there , although it was small, but he received some money, and my mother-in-law had two brothers in canada, they sent parcels, she sold, they built that house, oh, then the phone, she will leave, eh, no, it will be austrian, it will cool, this advice, this soviet, i bought it at an auction, however , i painted it a little, it will have to be cleaned on... because it has a nice old patina there and it was made of oak, they brought it and two very cool chairs , also from kharkov, i bought such secessionist ones, it is the beginning of the century, constructive interior items used to be the same as they are now at ikea ayusto, you buy them once there were factories, factories that people made and bought for themselves, well , we collect such things and fill it all if this object and it will be somewhere in such

a charm. stratography there are 1900 years and 200 there are 25 years, that is, yes, on the left - this is our a cellar. that is, our refrigerator is modern, but in the future we plan to improve it, and this will be our wine cellar, we will store wine there, this is our stock, it looks like this, it may be large-scale, but in fact it is half-winter, or 1/3 of winter, here , at the moment, this is our workshop that needs some kind of work, with paint or something dirty or. of some overall size, but it used to be a barn where hay was kept, i didn’t stay at the time, but i told my grandfather a lot, i changed this closet for a chair, that is, this closet was in the apartment in 1901 in

lviv and the owners were not suitable for the interior design, i had a cool art nouveau chair, we just waved, the chair suits me, but we can come here again, this is ours... now the bedroom, but here too well, you can see on the walls, well, the furniture is all from the beginning of the century, the paintings too, some of mine, my icon is such an interpretation of hozycekhovsky, and in this my vision, even when i was a student, young, i had time to paint, this is an old the chest, which is currently being stored as a book depository, i don't know here, it's... we have different albums, interesting ones. vasyl and olya decided not only to wash and restore the old parental house, but also to expand it, rethink it and add a new modern part, which can also be

filled with artifacts of the past. it is necessary to somehow plus or minus a little expand it or increase it, well, something must be done, and there we discussed with colleagues, architects, what we can do so as not to disturb the construction. tive and aesthetic points of value of this object, he came, we talked, he says, everything is fine, the structure is good here, we need to make some strengthening, strengthening and everything, and the rest we are basically expanding in style, and in places there will be something modern, it will be such a contrast, old new, yes, but we will see this house, which is from the 50s and we will see. .. what was done in the 20s of the next century, well, this is actually this project, a sketch of the project, er, a colleague came, we sat down to drink coffee and i talk, he writes, well, draws, scribbles,

so, and it turned out that he visualized my first thoughts, the characteristic wooden porch will remain, but a second floor will appear with an additional bedroom and nursery for the next generation, i will restore everything if i want. i can't express how happy i am that thanks to me, everything was preserved, then i went to work , then i came here, i looked after that house, well, how i looked after, you already know, i did it for a long time, as long as i have it was, i still went to work for 85 years, took care of that house, people came, came, are you selling, are you selling, i say no one is selling, i say... i believed, i believed that he would come, he came , and i come, they have now put things in order, i imagined 70

no one has brought order here for years. in addition to the topic of various ukrainian houses, we also wanted to understand another phenomenon of folk architecture, the phenomenon of wooden churches. vasyl from the previous story advised us to stop by. in uzhhorod to the art critic and researcher mykhailo serokhman, who has been studying the ukrainian wooden church for many years. a wooden church is a phenomenon, indeed, a phenomenon in several aspects: first of all, it wins with a shingle in the landscape, it echoes, say, with foliage, with the leaves of trees, with the distant plan, medium plan, close-up. secondly, this is a living history. you haven't invented a time machine yet, but you just walk in, walk right up to the 18th and 17th centuries, it took a long time to build, it

started to function as a church in 1502, the paintings were a little later. the church of the holy spirit is one of the oldest churches in galicia. more than half a millennium ago, it was built at their own expense by the inhabitants of the village - the potters. why did that temple actually appear, because our village was rich, it was very highly cultured, and actually that street, which... is now called central, it was called the potters' house, because potters lived on that street, the church was built of carpathian wood, without a single nail, only with the help of wooden pegs, tibers, which connected the building. it is not disturbed by any extra decoration, any fancy, everything comes from the logic of the wood, from the material, everything comes with respect to the material, to the texture. uh, to the way it is composed, well

, because in fact these are churches that are being composed, all the achievements that uh, existed somewhere, were applied in one or another region, they are all maximally present in such a building, like a wooden church, well , that's their uniqueness, and if we talk about ukraine, then ukraine is a country of wooden churches, there was still... and much more a country of warm churches, but what's that remains, even today we have about 25 wooden churches, moreover, in such regions that it would seem where they could have come from, and in fact a wooden church could be one of the symbols of ukraine. on old engravings, you can see that there were such churches in kyiv before the city was burned by the tatars, they were in the central and on the in dnipro ukraine, if the churches were not... high in the mountains, because they had

a hill under them, like a pedestal, then on the plain wooden churches could reach 50 or 60 m. to date, the largest number of wooden churches have survived in transcarpathia, in the mountains , preservation is always better, that is, slobozhynsk ukraine, kharkiv oblast and the adjacent oblast, all of this essentially disappeared, that is, of course, the great merit of the soviet period is here. if i remember correctly, there is one in luhansk oblast, somewhere there it was registered in the church lists, and one in donetsk oblast, as of now, it is not known whether they exist or not, there are a number of beautiful churches in the kyiv region in the chernihiv region, beautiful wooden churches. this policy of destroying churches later spread to transcarpathia, to the carpathians as a whole. transcarpathia was the last to become part of the soviet union. in the 46th year, officially, and

then the vegetarian regime was already quite vegetarian, they did not attack so much, but several churches were destroyed as well. those churches that were not destroyed under the soviet regime, mostly remained closed for decades, until 1991, many of them were converted into granaries and others agricultural buildings, baths were knocked down from others and also turned into a warehouse. in the 46th. year, the church was closed, because there was a pseudo-cathedral of the communist authorities and the moscow church, which banned the greek catholic church. there was no armory here, there was nothing else here, as the bolsheviks liked to do in other temples, but simply the temple was closed all the time and there was no sign that it was an architectural monument of the ukrainian soviet socialist republic and that was all. and here virtually no one had access to this temple, and already when our church came out of the underground in the 90s, the church was consecrated as the church of the holy great martyr demetrius, that is why the church has two names, or sometimes people come and

ask, they don't know, they say why your church has two names, because one can roughly say that it was consecrated twice, once in 838 and once in 1990. the church of the cathedral of the most holy theotokos is an outstanding architectural landmark in the boykiv style. if you see such a characteristic silhouette of the pyramid, it was built by the boikas, the inhabitants of the middle ages. parts of the ukrainian carpathians. 1838 year it was quite a difficult year, because at that time the austro-hungarian empire took men-recruits, and here the church was mainly built by women. there were very few men here who helped, that is, women pressed the bars and lifted the bars, this was their sacrifice for those of their men who were at the front at that time. we see that it has such a very interesting shape, if we look at... in the forest, the christmas tree is very similar to it, because

it also goes more, more, less, less, and so and so to the top, it is so very unique boyki style, because if we go somewhere else, we will not see such a style, we will not see so many christmas trees. in 2013, at the session of the unesco world heritage committee in cambodia, the wooden churches of the carpathian region were included in the world heritage list. however, the protection of unesco was not a panacea at all. there was no light here, there were candles, and they began to conduct electric light from the center here, that panel that, where the light is turned on, er . had something to do with such temples , he who didn't have a license, didn't have permission, permission to carry out such works, so that they

put this on the raft, that on that, on that raft they attached that electric shield, and that's one beautiful thing. .. day and night, during the loading of cargo, lightning broke that shield, and the only good thing was that the cable was in the ground and it started to smolder, that is, our church almost burned down, as many such churches burned down, especially in the carpathians, and so here stood those, well, they weren't in... sleepers, they were such balloons filled with powder, so white , and that actually saved it when it started to smolder, and it reacted, and that powder flew all over the temple, you cannot imagine what happened here, today churches are collapsing by

themselves, due to lack of money for restoration, but most of all due to simple negligence and lack of understanding by the community...priests of the true value of the old wooden church. often, the authentic appearance of the church changed according to the taste or dislike of its visitors. these are the ideas of local people, local communities, first of all, mostly they devoid of taste and understanding of the value of wooden architecture. these are the ideas of the priests to a large extent, who are mostly devoid of taste and concept of the value of wooden architecture. for them, the church is a place for prayer. that is... it remains who the state is, there are lists, there are historical references, there are examinations , there is, everything, everything, everything is there, there is legislation, why it does not work, some unfortunate shed will burn down there, the prosecutor's office is there, everything is watching, who there, what was set on fire there, the church burned down, well, well,

that’s how it happened, well, it happened, although, this church, this the main value of that village, often the village collects... some wild funds are unbelievable, in order to distort their most valuable thing that they have in the village, and cover it with a shiny plate, now the fashion for those pseudo-gold, pseudo-silver, purple plates has gone, this is some kind of horror, squeal of bad taste , such a crazy love of bad taste, imagine the landscape, green mountains, trees, fir trees, blue mountains in the background, everything and suddenly an explosion, the sun reflected from that super'. boring surface tore your eyes and tore your brain. after 1928, the church was covered the sheet metal that we can see in front of us today will soon be 100 years old in kyeblyas. until then, it was under ghonty, preserved. of course, we would like to restore it so that it is under ghonty, but it is understood, of course, that it is very financially

expensive. maybe one day there will be a sponsor who would like to contribute, then we will only be glad to restore that historical, historical one. antiquity, in order for people to understand, we just need to explain to people more, we just need to tell people more, that's what we would like, you know what our church was shining, it was lined with beautiful clapboards and so on, you know, if there is a good neighbor on the side, you know, another, for example, a community and so on, who made it, people are attracted to it, and they say, well, it is so typical, there is so, yes, but we do nothing and so on, why is that so, well, but then it is very nice to ask a question, and what is the church of your neighbor? are shown on television, is it on the internet, so, for example, is it widely developed, to which tourists come and so on, well, then everyone will say, well, why not to ours they come, well, they come for something , it means they like it more, you came to a calm gil landscape, and suddenly

some such huge golden onion shines here, well , you can’t bypass the moscow patriarchate, they build churches in a square, unknown way, they need to fence off the territory, but ... a false idea of ​​the orthodox style has been created, and the orthodox style is the moscow style, it is a huge golden onion, a tent, a belfry and everything, as if there is no ukrainian orthodox style, or a carpathian church, which, after all, was also once orthodox , but this is our cunning enemy, he brought it a long time ago, well, this is what happened in volyn, for example, in the kyiv region, when three log cabins or baptismal font... churches added this bell tower at the entrance to them, that is, they russified the appearance, the russification of the landscape took place, in our country it is happening at a simply crazy pace, those golden... onions on the mountains, it is simply incredible, it reaches some marismistic expressions, when this barrack

dome is removed from a wooden church and placed almost as high alone a tower that should resemble a tent style. ukrainian, it goes from byzantium, and byzantium is a hemisphere, it is a neat, noble hemisphere, firstly, secondly, it is a baroque church, mazepin baroque, it is pear-shaped... shapes that resemble those baroque forms of europe, it absolutely not an onion, but for some reason it is believed that there should be a grandiose bulb, huge, enormous, and for some reason there should be a thin neck under it, well, excuse me, this is already in front of you an absolutely islamic temple, this is islam, this is an islamic form, actually saying i think that moscow architecture is to a large extent there and goes, each has its own ways , each architecture, each nation. the question of aggression, intervention, imposition, well , colonialism and non-colonialism, all

took the stamp of colonialism, including in church architecture. it seems incredible, but the main reason for the distortion of architectural monuments is the initiative of local residents themselves, who simply do not have enough knowledge. if you drive through the villages, you can hear how people are proud of what they have covered. his church with tin, and now it supposedly became more beautiful, it is a five-domed church, it was covered with shingles, now it is already covered with sheet metal, but until 1990 it was covered with shingles, and it was such a church, the only one at that time in prykarpattia, domed this church has an interesting history, it is said that it was built by a former henchman of dovbush, with the money of opryshki. the same rebel peasants we know, who fought against the polish nobility, we were told that this church was built for

sins, for the sins of oprichs, oprichs - they were such people, they were only men, very of the statutory form, they , well, they simply couldn’t put it in a paste-type mold there, there was such a casting, as they say now, but their casting, i’ll show you there... even in practice, they put such a large one, or a log made of wood, like that in our village they say, well, they either simply found a place where a tree had been cut down, and the boy who wanted to get into the prisons, he had to lay down his hands, and the most important thing, either oleksa already had a vote, or his wards, who also had large the ranks in the turbans, they hit with an ax on... the very fingers, well, they used to there were cases where fingers were chopped off, but then they didn't go to prison anymore, because they said that

they didn't need it with a disability. the church is also included in the unesco world heritage list, and if the decision to cover the church with sheet metal was made today, it would already be a criminal liability. but this tin is more than 30 years old, and who knows if we will ever be lucky enough to see it authentically made of wood. it is obvious that folk architecture is about houses and churches, there are very cool examples, for example, hotels there have a slavic sound is called, which seems to imitate folk houses , in terms of scale, but these are already apartments, well, rooms for a hotel, and which are divided into these houses with those hip boykov roofs near gonta and made in technologies that seem to be old, but of course with a modern function with a little more... rooms, with bigger, well, with a completely new idea about everything, and it's cool, that is, i think that it is not something that has the right to

life, it can be, it even sometimes should to be, because a person from mariupol or kharkiv hails from slavske, and look at the same silicate brick houses under a red metal cladding, probably few people are interested, yes, that is, the neuboykiv house is interesting to look at, then i see the fantastic works of oleg of ukraine. who loved this ukrainian on the dnieper theme, and he made several houses under the guise of minimalist, i.e. white, like mazankas, but more glass area, atrium rooms, a little more complicated, or not even a little, much more complicated hip roof of zgocheret, with inscribed mansard windows, i.e. this certainly not about folk architecture, but he was inspired by them things turned out very tasty, but in reality it turned out very, very tasty, but for sure... it is probably not worth it to transfer the gable roof to the scale of an office in the city of lviv or the city of dnipro. indeed, there are ukrainian architects who

are working to integrate folk architecture. possessions and techniques into modern objects, but at the same time , folk architecture in itself has not really gone anywhere, people continue to experiment with their homes. almost 20,000 was spent on that , and 2,400 for the summer kitchen, well , it took time, i know, a month or so the whole wall i made drawings while i was drawing, well, i read somewhere in the newspaper how they make a path and lay out walls. and decided to try it myself, first i laid out one or two tracks, first i trained, it was like this for a long, whole winter, i trained in the winter, i put two sheets of glued paper, i drew out and i took the embroidery and laid it out, and then i decided on the first pattern in the summer kitchen

i did it, well, i liked it and it turned out, in this house... mykola lives with his wife, and most often one of their grandchildren also visits them, when the idea is to make something like here they say, mykola came up with an embroidered pattern , they didn't understand him, but now everyone in the village knows this house, well, i started drawing at school, i still had competitions, or class is better, then i took the first places in the district, then in the region crimean, i studied at school in the crimea , took first place, and even i... well , it was good to pick up colors, then i moved here, worked as an artist, there was progress in the collective farm, well, they wrote there, mainly he painted icons in the church , and basically, well, what did the posters write once, as the fashion was, the communist swan painted, the fashion was like that, swans, well, they hung

a poster at the wedding, welcome, we'll take it back here. on my part, i had to, then i injured my hand and that was it, well, they gave me a group, the third group, i went to the group and got busy, collected, started collecting lids, it’s been 16 years, but why did it take so long, because they burned, the garbage can go , and they, well, someone will set it on fire and you will come back empty-handed, nothing happened, there were moments when you did not collect anything, mostly i collected garbage. there are a lot of flies there in the summer, so you have to put a net on the bees’ head, and i used to collect in the communal economy, i went there, they press, unscrew the caps, press the bottles, i collected a little, i went there in the winter, well,

but that's all you're taking there. yesterday you rearranged, i have a lot of those dark ones, cherries, there are cherries, dark green, well, dark color, so i don’t use them, there are many black ones, i haven’t tried black ones yet, well, don’t say black color is beautiful, but the lids i tried, something was wrong with the ornaments mykola was looking for books, which he took from the district library, bought from women in the market, and spied on a magazine from his wife, who was engaged in embroidery. the woman is into all the old patterns, i was recently in the library, i made such and such a sirocopy, and then i made such and such patterns , then we quarreled, that i took away all of them, she embroiders in the winter, and i lay out the patterns, so there were a few conflicts they embroidered for that, well, i already have a lot of those patterns in my collection, but

i choose the best ones, like every folk one. art, it was created from the materials that were at hand, and plastic lids, what can i say, the material is really available , then i have one pattern, if the truth is there on the floor , maybe a month, less than a month, i trained , put it together, until i got a good pattern, well , it was easier on the wall here, rather already , well, it was difficult to collect it for a long time, and it was especially difficult to wash it, those covers above the inscription. there is one that does not wash off, well, i already took some kind of cutter, universal 647 , and this is what the girls wash off the varnish, the nail polish, well , on the nails, it also washes off well, but not all of them, i sit and wash it in the winter, i wash it off so quickly, i'm such a person that you have to rub for a long time, it's a pity

to throw away, i threw away a lot, i don't know, maybe there are eight, then not... it was suitable, but here
