fight show. who are the drops? i arrived at the address and picked up the bag. how the writer radzinsky was robbed of 45 million. what the big officials of the yeltsin era bought into. there was telephone fraud. call by phone. what is a cooling-off period? will it save you from scammers? big sunday news at 20:00, don't miss it. immediately after our release, do not miss the premiere of the documentary film new hersanez. stay with us.

i will not betray khersanes, nor the beautiful harbor, nor other fortifications, but i will defend them for the people. hersanez has seen a lot and courage ancient inhabitants who saved the city from... raids and the feat of the first christian preachers and the miracle of epiphany that happened here to prince vladimir, how chersonese became a sacred center, a kind of assembly point for russian statehood, spirituality and unity. khersenez is the place where the great russian miracle happened, this is the place where...

the russian people received their dream, their huge historical task for their entire historical destiny, they received baptism in the person of prince vladimir, we we are grateful to prince vladimir precisely because he laid this spiritual foundation for future national construction, and this happened right here in hersanes. this is generally a unique zone where russia, our homeland, our state, our people, our culture, are close to their cradle, in one word, our archaeologists could not with the annexation of crimea to us, this is again the sunrise of hersanes, and it seemed as if even the second baptism of russia. chersonese again, returning to

us, again christened russia with its grace. today the city is experiencing a renaissance. in 3 years, on the site of the southern suburb , a new khersanez, a large-scale unique historical and archaeological park, grew up. the strategic goal of this project, it seems to me, is to revive the historical cultural and spiritual heritage of khersanes, to recreate a center of power in crimea.

for 9 long months, prince vladimir kept korsun under siege, as chersonesus was called in the ancient russian chronicles, the inhabitants taken from the pestilence were eventually forced to surrender, what horror and trepidation was in the hearts... of the citizens, they knew that for 9 long months they are attacked by a man, nicknamed by a beast, who has one law: the longer the fortress resists, the faster all the inhabitants should have died, this was a kind of revenge for making the grand duke wait so long. vladimir literally translates as the owner of the world, he captures our non-

criminal fortress with only one purpose, to deliver an ultimatum to vasily ii, so that the rightful princess, the most inaccessible girl, will come here. but not the beauty of anna, nor the streets of the wondrous city, located on the shore of the azure bay, vladimir will not see. the victory is overshadowed by a terrible illness that destroys the prince. prince vladimir walks around our city, he does not let anyone near him, and he cannot

understand what kind of spirit lives here in this city, what kind of ancient stones are these, what kind of god is this who has deprived him of the most important thing. from the story of bygone years, by divine providence, at that time vladimir’s eyes were sick, and he could not see anything, and he grieved greatly and did not know what to do. the queen sent him to say: “if you want to get rid of this disease, then be baptized quickly." if you don’t get baptized, you won’t be able to get rid of your illness. vladimir replied: “if this really comes true, then the christian god is truly great.” let’s go back to 2015.

as such, by this time, various slavic tribes, well, not only the slavs, who lived in this territory throughout the entire territory of former russia, they were already actually under the rule of one prince, their economy functioned within the framework of almost a single market, they spoke the same language, but one thing was missing, they were missing spiritual... unity, without this spiritual unity there could not be a single people and a single nation, for us this place, as you yourself just said, in a certain sense is sacred, here is the source of our statehood and the russian people. if

we return to the hersanez project, what are your expectations, what problems should it solve for a large number of people from all over the country? we are who we are, where we came from, how our statehood developed, the new park turned out to be large-scale, grandiose, iconic,

a museum of antiquity and byzantium will open here, a museum christianity, the museum of crimea and new russia, a pilgrimage center, a youth, craft quarter of the 20th century, where you can see what it looked like... the city in the era of prince vladimir. ter task. this whole complex, of course, immerses a person in the flow of his own history, so that a person begins to understand that his personal history is connected with the history of his homeland by invisible, stunning, mysterious threads. books are books, but this

energetic feeling that you are standing where your faith was born, and it should influence completely others, so to speak.

6 million archaeological finds that were made at the preparatory stage. 300,000 of these artifacts are of museum value and will be added to the new exhibitions. our president has repeatedly... emphasized that tauride chersonese, it should become some kind of russian russian meca, which should attract people, well, from different parts of the world, and of course, in accordance with this task, the project was conceived, implemented and in fact, it became just that very place, which vladimi vladimovich spoke about, that is, in fact, the task was to build a new city, when we were approached... with a proposal to support the implementation of this project, our many years of experience

in implementing such cultural and historical projects were taken into account. for 7 years we have been actively supporting the reconstruction of the main orthodox church in russia, the assumption cathedral in the kremlin. so this experience attracted attention, we were asked to get involved, we immersed ourselves in the project, in all its details, our specialists regularly went to the construction site... participated in working meetings, our volunteers also took part in landscaping the territory, so this is of course a big event for us, very important. elena alexandrovna, you are like a person who remembers how it all began. what are your impressions of the new hersanes? in general, the territory itself is admirable, the new urban territory, this is the territory for sevastopol residents. this is a territory for guests of sevastopol and the crimean peninsula, look at how magnificent the architecture is,

we, willy-nilly, find ourselves in constantinople, this is such a brief history of the crimean peninsula, with such large strokes, well, firstly, of course, we see mother empress, catherine, we see suvorov, we see potemkin, the great statesmen who mastered crimea and who... annexed crimea to russia, we see the imperial families who often came here to khersanez and personally supervised the issues of archaeological research, because it was not for nothing that archaeological excavations began in 1827, because the goal was to find the place of the baptism of prince vladimir, this is where it all began, as a result, in the course of these archaeological research, a great city is revealed, its... history, for us, for archaeologists, it was

certainly a challenge, when we started work, it was april of the twenty-first year, we understood the scale and understood that this could not be done in such a short period of time, but we have no other choice, in 2 and a half years we will excavate almost 100,000 km to a depth of three. up to 9 m thickness of the cultural layer and from antiquity to almost the great patriotic war, this is truly the largest-scale excavation to date in terms of... the volume of work, the number of specialists involved, their level, indeed, i repeat once again that only thanks to the idea of ​​such a project it was possible to carry out these works through joint efforts, we are an institute of material history culture of the russian academy of sciences was invited to cooperate,

of course, by the kherson museum, the hermitage, the institute of archeology of crimea, that is, the country's leading specialists. organized a big a comprehensive expedition began to work, that is, this is a city that is simply saturated with history, a fantastic amount of things that are now being excavated, because all these religious energies, they are born for a reason, they are born from the history that hyrsanas has accumulated. an era passes into an era, an era passes into an era, but he stands, and he is alive. it is full of history, it gives something new all the time, it is some kind of factory for simultaneously extracting some unique information, unique finds, suddenly there are some discoveries, difficulties, because we are digging a crypt, it is flooded with water, in another crypt there are some

exploding shells from the great patriotic war, construction is already underway somewhere, cranes are moving, khersanez - century bc, on the main the city square is especially lively, among those gathered there are only men, they are determined. the day before , a coup d'état was prevented in the city. the oligarchs’ attempt to abolish democracy was unsuccessful, how the khersenites managed

to prevent the seizure of power, and what they taught their story? more on this a little later, but for now let's move to... 2 centuries ago, when the first greek ships of trier moored to this shore. khersanes was founded by people from heraclea panthica. according to one version, in the 5th century bc, when there was a great war between sparta and athens. the city arose as a colony on foreign overseas territory, surrounded by hostile tribes and was initially small. on the sea side it was protected by a rocky coast, and on the land side by a fortress stone wall, which was erected by the first colonists. and it became cramped for them classics, expansion, more people were added, economic resources were melting, they had already mastered the mediterranean sea, almost everything, most of the black sea had already been mastered, and

khersenez was one of the last colonies founded by the greeks. translated from greek, hersenez means peninsula. in the vast greek-speaking world, which at that time stretched along the black mediterranean sea, there were several cities called hersanez. speaking about this , they added tauride, after the name of the tribe that lived in this territory. chersonese has always been surrounded by walls in order to protect itself.

sevastopol, when its inhabitants would not fight with someone. hersanez is a typical hellenic polis, that is, a city of the state. to conduct all matters, from minting local coins, collecting taxes, trade to defense against external enemies, residents used a state organization, which here in chersonesos was democratic in nature. people who are indigenous have all the rights . it is clear that there are different social strata, mainly traders, farmers, artisans, and the ruling elite, this is a classic option for... the ancient city of polis, much attention was paid to the upbringing, education and physical endurance of the younger generation, art played a rather large role,

because in hersanes there is an ancient theater. the khersanese ancient theater is a unique monument of the hellenic period, the only one in the entire territory of the former soviet union. the theater was built in the 4th-3rd century bc. texts written to aristophates are heard here today.

and the roman, imperial, closes with us, this a unique combination of peoples, times, cultures and civilizations. in ancient times, it was here, not far from the very place where many centuries later the holy vladimir cathedral would appear, that ogora was located, that is, the main square, the center of religious, commercial and political life, people’s meetings were held here, here... we read about that strong love, as soon as the young men swore at the age of majority to give everything,

including their own lives, so that they would never give up their hometown to anyone. the oath, composed by the ancient khersenites, is a manifesto of loyalty to the city, which appeared after they had to confront the conspirators, the oligarchs. an attempt at a coup d'état, the coup was suppressed, and so that no one else would be bothered, the khersanites embossed the following words on this whip in high style: it is

from here that we learn that khersanez is a democratic republic, that every citizen had the right to participate in the life of his state, could be the chosen one, because nothing is wasted, because everything remains in consciousness in historical memory. neither chersonesos, nor the beautiful harbor, nor other fortifications, but i will defend them for the people,

that’s what is happening today - in our history, in our today’s history, and what is connected with our guys on the front line is connected with the conduct of a special military operation, this echoes... the oath that the city's residents once swore to their homeland. i swear i'll be back! i will be of one mind regarding the welfare of the city and citizens, i will be of the same mind, and will not give khersanes and other fortifications from the rest of the area that the sonisites own or owned. with the advent of the svo , they suddenly began to open up. closed aspects of our lives, it became clear how society evaluates the quality of its life by quality.

entertainment, this is not the whole society, but this is what is called the elite. our victory consists of two parts: it is a victory outside and a victory inside. victory outside is an army, this is heroism, victory inside is an understanding of the danger.

since we understood these sacred meanings of a special military operation, the war in which we are participating against the west, and not against ukraine, so we are not fighting against ukrainians, we are fighting for ukrainians, we are fighting so that they are on the right side at the moment of the culmination of world history. from the end of the 4th century, chersonese became the center of the spread of christianity, the light of which finally drove the gods of olympus into twilight. the first christians appeared, the early christians began to build churches, of course, it was necessary to change the ideology, accordingly, remove iconic places associated with this ideology, so the agora is being built early christian temples, therefore two temples arise on the site of the theater, the art that glorified the ancient gods is prohibited, a completely different story begins. the first feat that was performed...

here by the first christian, it was the feat of the apostle andrew the first-called, the apostle was here for quite a long time, and here a miracle was performed for the apostles when he prayed on a high stone on the seashore, prayed for the people, for the enlightenment of the people, living on this earth, the stone became like wax, and his feet were imprinted on this stone, subsequently many chersenesites came to this place, drew water from his feet, prayed and received healing.

a man whom he knew well in honor of the apostle andrew the called, such an absolutely amazing connection, an apostolic connection, and of course, how can one call this place non-sacred after this story, here clement of rome continued to rule the roman church, he remained the bishop of rome, despite the fact that that he was in exile for 3 years, in 101, by order of emperor troyan in the month of december, he was martyred death through drowning, of course, a very important event, when in 861 cyril came here, sailed, then constantine, a philosopher, a man, a scientist, a man who was sent on a diplomatic mission to the khazars, he saw a man who was reading the gospel written by the russians writing, of course, there is a lot of controversy among scientists, among theologians, was there some kind of alphabet, did russia have its own

alphabet at that time, or did it exist? together with cyril they take and transfer the relics of clement of rome to rome. it was a journey long enough, papa nikolai dies. pope adrian ascends to the throne of the high priest of rome, who, having learned that clement himself was coming back to the eternal city, came out with great honors, met the relics of clement of rome and blessed the performance of the service in the slavic language, this , in fact, served as

our blessing. 868, long before baptism, before the feat of saint prince vladimir.

the issue of pacification of the byzantine empire, for and this squad decided, in general, it decided that prince vladimir was promised not only gold and some material things, but was promised as a wife, queen anna, the sister of emperor vasily, of course for byzantium this was completely unacceptable, the man is not a christian, and to marry him to a girl in the veins of whom... the blood of the byzantine emperors flows, of course, it was completely unheard of, so prince vladimir, when he realized that he would not receive what was promised to him, he went to khersenez in order to take khersenez and so that emperor vasily understood that today he took khersenez, tomorrow he will

in constantinople. khersenesites are able to repel the attacks of the most powerful opponents. the city has never been surrendered by a scythian, a goth, or a khaz...

something of god’s providence, he is met by queen anna, who says: be baptized, prince, and you will receive your sight not only with your physical eyes, but with your spiritual eyes, this beast has already calmed down,

a beast in which, in the heart in which such an explosion has occurred, rebirth has occurred, he enters the baptismal font, the squad is present, and when they see what they have redeemed, a healthy person comes out, a completely healthy person, a person to whom the lord returned not only his physical sight, but most importantly, that this man received his sight in his heart, because who came here, the beast, who came to kiev, vladimir krasnosolnyshko, the prince of kiev, a pagan, came here and left here king, heir of byzantium, he understood that by accepting the christian faith, he also... found his place in the system of international relations, because, of course, with a pagan, christian states were not very keen to maintain relations when he accepted christian faith, then naturally

all the gates were open for him, for me the angel of hersanes is something wonderful, indescribable. an essence that is connected precisely with the baptism of russia with the subsequent movement of russia along the line of this dream in the kingdom.

theology, and it was no coincidence that he carried out a reform at the beginning of the pagan boarding school, there was such a balto-germanic perun bok, but there was no slavic veles, that is, it was already an attempt by the military-political aristocracy to give the state political-religious unity, but this turned out to be insufficient, and i i think that vladimir observed that the peoples around him were choosing... between monotheistic religions, which, due to

their monotheism, are much more consistent with the political theology of the unity of the state, there is one god, one prince, and here vladimir also had a choice in his political theology, between, for example, islam, judaism, which played a unifying role in the khazar khanate, there were muslims and christians also lived there, look, if we imagine the state of the soul of our grand duke, then in principle he could choose any, the people generally followed their own mood, and any effort, of course, the study of a new faith, even a new pantheon, the people will certainly take with hostility, this is understandable, but in some cases, as they say, the heart of the king is in the hands... in the hands of god, that is, vladimir chose before

eternity, he made his choice not only based on political necessity, but taking into account heaven, taking into account eternity, taking into account god as such, this is fundamental, this is the task of a true ruler - to answer before eternity, before heaven, not so much before the people, and answering before god, vladimir chooses, chooses precisely...

this is really a kind of spiritual rebirth that occurs when you find yourself on the territory of this city, because there you can follow the same paths that the ancient greeks, the founders of this city, walked cities in the 5th century bc, in the end you can follow the same road that led prince vladimir to god, of course this leads to such thoughts about the cyclical nature of history, you can hear the echo of time if you carry out some historical analogies, then how do you...

but if we talk about when russia became the heir, it became the heir, of course, after the fall of byzantium and gradually,

which determined the meaning of our present , indicated the path and mission for us in the future, that’s why this is living earth. we don’t know whether we were in heaven or on earth, so the ambassadors said to prince vladimir after they attended the service in the cathedral of st. sophia, amazed by the splendor of the temple, the singing of the patriarchal choir, they felt the grace of god. reference to these events can be found in the architecture of the museum of christianity, a dome with a diameter of 30. this is not a museum, this is an exhibition and conversation about christianity in a huge area, and we want to make it as interesting as possible,

as understandable as possible for modern people. khersanez, the cradle of russian orthodoxy, this alone gives us the right to consider crimea russian. we remember how our people perceived the return of crimea. we did not fight for crimea.

with him, over him angelanes opened its wings, and what risks he foresaw, what shocks he foresaw, he foresaw today's upheaval in the donbass, making this decision, i told him that you will go down in russian history as putin tabrichesky, and the annexation of crimea to us is again the rising of the sun of chersonese, and it was as if even the second baptism of russia took place. we believed in our grand duke, not yet a tsar, but followed him to chersonese, and this also means the baptism of russia in kiev, and the understanding of christianity for centuries, the construction of our monasteries, our culture, the rise of our

church architecture, iconography, and iconography. , monasticism, all this was embedded in this action. they, the crimeans, turned out to be more faithful to our kiev history, in this battle for kiev they took, in fact, the right side, the culmination of the grandiose archaeological expedition preceding

the construction of the new khersanes was this unique find, the most interesting moments, of course, were when we discovered these unique... place, this is the most difficult work, because

each object consists of thousands of details, we had to take into account each of them, give it the number can then be reassembled in a new place without fail, this work is carried out by the same team that was engaged in the restoration of the triumphal arch of palmyra, there are 4627 stone parts, that is, we dismantled them, and now we will assemble them before... yes, we have expeditions in crimea, but this is very ukrainian due to the fact that we work in crimea, it’s funny, because we worked in crimea under the tsarist regime, during the soviet regime, under ukraine, before ukraine, after ukraine, during ukraine, so this is ours. monument, and we feel family ties to it when

the museum began to have the high status of the khersanestovrichesky federal museum; we saw a large number of monuments that had stood in the forests for decades when the process of improvement began.

this lack of attention to our shrine testified to the lack of attention to this conditional untenable political structure, which was called ukraine for some time, not attention to its own essence, to its own roots, ukraine has neither a past nor a future, that is why it belonged to hersanes doesn't care about consumers in order to to create a state. you need to have historical wisdom, and of course, instead of attacking this empire, instead of humiliating the russian people, they should

have, on the contrary, gone in this direction, go to the east, go to the light, go to chersonese, but the ukrainian authorities are under under the influence of the west , the same dark forces that orthodoxy resisted for centuries, under these influences, the ukrainians lost themselves, this is a betrayal of their grand duke. and that was very important, that is.
