i assume that here there was a canopy over the entrance to the basement, the fonda basement survived, but they also dragged a lot of things from there, through the canopy, it was possible to climb onto the canopy before the fire, they tore out the grate and entered, it was the twenty-fourth, when the director of the museum raisa bashko can hardly hold back her tears when she remembers the last day of his work before the destruction. on the 24th we went to... work, and since we already had experience of being in such combat conditions, this is still the fourteenth year, we were then completely we dismantled the exhibition, put our exhibits in the basements, well, we did the same work on the 24th, so we closed the museum, turned on the alarm system to the security console, and went home, well, i hope that we will soon go back to work, but this is not the case it happened.

i understood correctly that you put everything that was at the exhibition in the basements in storage, no, well, of course we couldn’t remove everything, we removed the most valuable exhibits, they were registered with us at one time, so we managed enough with this job, enough quickly, that’s it, but unfortunately, when the power was already turned off in the city, we realized that the museum was no longer guarded, but we had to move around. then, no, guys, i can’t talk, raisa petrovna spent a month under shelling, only when humanitarian corridors were opened, she was able to leave mariupol with her family, and then returned when the city began to be restored again, which is in the park area near which we lived, stood, stood, artillery guns were fired, accordingly, in response too...

shots were fired, so practically residential buildings, here this small microdistrict was under such a firefight, that is , shells were flying over our heads, and of course it was all very scary, so we tried not to leave the house, well , we watched how - the nearest houses were already suffering, a stray cat to everyone pesters, it was after the war that it appeared here, andrei ladkin takes us on a kind of excursion, this part of the building was not affected by the fire, this, this part, this wing, this is the library, we can go and have a look, the library has survived, at least in this sense i was lucky, but also, as i already said, there were looters and some ancient books.

then we’ll take pictures with them, you see, it’s made of stone. an amateur video of a school excursion in 1921; in these frames you can see historical objects that were on display and are now irretrievably lost. yes, binoculars and a ship. these were mother-of-pearl and bone linings for the chest. there was a real sharpener with

a maxim machine gun on it, oh, we want it everywhere, everywhere, but look at this chair, chair metropolitan ignatius, who brought the greeks here - this is a particularly valuable item for the local community, unfortunately, yes, the metropolitan’s chair was also lost, it was in the funds, what other losses can we talk about, of course, objects, well, each object in its own way valuable, because all these items were, well, of regional content, so they were very important for our region , almost all of them, we had a very valuable museum item, this is the lemosh cross, a wooden cross decorated with pigweed, made in france in 13 century. no, we have

there was a catholic church in the city at one time, we think that this item was put into the museum probably in the thirties, when there were a lot of religious items. churches, including , probably, this cross also arrived, unfortunately, it actually arrived at our museum, when they were closing it burned down, the wooden part of it burned down, but the metal plates remained, but unfortunately they completely lost their appearance, because the enamels were faded , in general , objects in the flame were changed, deformed, even those that were preserved, this is in in particular, ceramics, if the ceramic vessel was covered with enamel, then the enamel is usually. burned, changed its color, this is the department of nature, here we had stuffed animals, fish, animal birds, well, as you understand, there was nothing left at all, i don’t know what they were doing here, it’s like not the highest place, that is, what the point was to occupy a museum, i don’t

know, i really don’t understand, a museum, even after the great patriotic war the museum was preserved, but everything was melting here, i was generally in shock. now it’s already somehow, well, i ’ve already gotten used to it, so what should i do, then i was just horrified by what happened here, well, virtually all of our history has been lost, from the point of view of documents, there is a greek court, this is all part of russian, not ukrainian history, as you understand? be careful, yes, here we already have a hall of history, after the fire on this wasteland , the staff of the cow museum of mariupol had to literally conduct archaeological excavations again, find objects,

for example, from the kiev time of storage of ancient man. when i came here and with my bare hands there was broken glass in this, bye i couldn’t find gloves, i cut myself regularly.

this burial ground was discovered. it was a rare burial without mounds from the fourth millennium bc. those buried in the ancestral tomb were in rich clothes, trimmed with bone beads, plates and boar clasps. in the burial ground, archaeologists also discovered stone tools, pendants in the shape of a crescent, which presumably played the role of money, and amulets, which indicated the development of the religious system of the community. artifacts are the most reliable guarantee against rewriting a free interpretation of history, says the museum worker. well, any person. can open a history textbook or a history book there and read about some events about antiquity, but these are all words, people want to see the present, so to speak, like artifacts, as they like to say, confirming what

actually happened in ancient times , you can interpret it any way you want, that’s what, strictly speaking , has been happening in ukraine lately. history textbooks on ukraine, i won’t remind you that the ukrainians, it turns out , dug up the black sea, well, i understand that, well, listen to ukrainian television, watch the situation is already anecdotal, well , it was naturally imposed on us that the ukrainians were here, i don’t know how long they were there, for some reason they tried to hush up what is here...

well, not all history can be destroyed, as my life experience specifically proves, there was history here in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but this is what you see, this is... a pre-revolutionary factory whistle, objects, well , there are a few left here related to metal production, these here, on the second floor, right here stood in the corridor cabinets with archeology, from there the ancient dishes were there, there was an obvious catacomb culture falling down, and so right there next to these iron cabinets, i... the floor is somewhat complete, well, there are a lot of fragments, and there are completely intact objects, vessels,

not at all i understand how it happened that they survived, they fell from the second floor, however, the same story was there in the basement there was a hole, on the first floor there was a closet, they also fell from there, and something remained intact and you are glad that at least something, at least something was saved, and it will be possible to exhibit again in museum, still needs to be taken. shards, to please raisa petrovna that we still have something left here, this is, for example, the 18th century, well , they are considered cossacks, they are thinner, now there is no professional restorer in mariupol, the director of the museum from small fragments found in different corners room, trying to collect this

broken clay vessel. how she manages to do this, it seems to me, is still difficult, she somehow finds such fragments, and some tiny pieces, she tries to glue something together, like the neck of an amphora, she understands the composition of the clay, the color of the clay, the technique, how it all works. lists of the collections of the oldest museum in donbass , which recently turned 100 years old, digital copies of rare documents stored on work computers have disappeared, look, here is a box, this is also the metal that we picked up from the krovets museum, in this condition, this is that was burning. this plate is a plate from the middle of the 10th century, this

is what was brought by the greeks, settlers from crimea, who seemed to populate our city, this is the state in which it was raised, this plate is from the same series, but it has already been cleaned, this plate can be seen here, even the date is 1733, well... in this resting state the crosses, the cross patka, you see, they , they are deformed , firstly, they were all burnt, but it is really possible , say, to level and clean, you can work with this, what was saved, maybe restored, the museum had two more branches, this is the kuindzh art museum, where we are now, and the museum of folk life, uh, museum of folk life... also suffered, but the exhibition remained practically intact, that is, everything that was exhibited there, we were able to save, these are

, first of all, household items, objects of material, spiritual culture, mariupol greeks, ukrainians, and russians, and germans, jews, that is, those main groups of the population that lived in the region, it’s good that they brought us racks, we now have racks, and we lay out boxes on these racks, we... number each box with inventories, that is, we can easily navigate, get any a box, sheep shearing scissors, sickles, but for now we can only clean it and preserve it, in such a state that it simply doesn’t disappear further, well , like this, for example, sheep shearing scissors, these are the shepherd’s tools, these are so unusual , you see what, such a table for... for writing, for working, it was also in the basement of the krovich museum,

since the basement was not damaged, then the furniture , including this bureau, is from the mid-19th century, it was preserved with these drawers , several samovars, here are three samovars of the beginning xx century, several candlesticks from the early xx century, and this is already a list. of the forty items that local residents helped save, these books were once kept in the library of our krovitsky museum, but how... did they end up in the yard, that is, they were taken out into the street and thrown there, our neighbor at the krovitsky museum, alexander prokhachev found not only books, there were objects from the museum exhibition, he took them home, as soon as the museum staff appeared at the site, he came to us and said that he had more than forty items from the museum collection were preserved and

gave these items to us, for which we are of course very grateful to him that the person was concerned. about preserving these items, otherwise we would have lost it, but this is still bloody material, minutes of the mariupol district zemstvo assembly, the end of the 19th century. now the museum staff are located in a neighboring building on the same street where there used to be an art branch named after kuindzh. this world-famous artist comes from mariupol. stored here authentic paintings by this master of landscape painting, as well as works by the marine painter aivazovsky. before the outbreak of hostilities , the keeper of the fund hid them in a hiding place, then the paintings were temporarily removed from the art gallery in mariupol and transferred to the regional museum of donetsk. these are the paintings: this is nikolai dubovskoy, two two canvases of the sea and a night on the baltic sea, this is

ivan aivazovsky, three works by arkhip ivanochka. years by decision of the ministry of culture of the soviet union. the original painting is located in america, in the united states of america in metropolitan museum of art. a painting from the late period, late kuindzh, which.

these are material objects for the throne gospel in greek, 1811 edition of venice, this is a scroll, the original scroll of the 19th century sefer torah, associated with the jewish cult, objects of greek everyday life, unique objects, a vessel called kumgan, dates back to the 10th century, was taken by

the greeks from crimea, this is an object of medal art, but an edition of donetsk. says its director marina maksimchuk. our museum, unfortunately, came under fire several times from the ukrainian armed forces. the first shelling took place in 2014, it was the month of august, there were several shellings and there were several direct hits, one wing was completely destroyed, the nature hall was damaged, the storage facilities at that time were damaged, the archaeological collection was damaged.

legendary commanders and just fighters who fought for their children, for the freedom of their homeland, one of them is evgeny khotsko with the call sign brest, him, yes, it’s all his, he

just said, i don’t need him, he said, i ’ll never go there i'm going back and at first i wanted to tear it up, and then i realized that , by the way, this is such an exhibit, it’s the only one we have. here is his passport , unfortunately, yes, i’m very sorry for his wife, this is a cigar, he handed it over, this is his comrade in arms, he also died, it’s like with his last cigarette, he handed over these things in the museum before going to another assault on the donetsk front, where he died, this is how he told us a year ago in our program... in his first battle, my call sign is brest, i myself come from donetsk, from donbass, so my

conscience is clear, because this is my land, here my parents live here, here is the grave of my father, my grandfathers, when we were sent there, zakhar, my father, who has already died, he said, they will beat you, kill you, shoot at you. there will be on three sides, the position cannot be surrendered, you must hold on to it with your teeth, if anyone is afraid, take a step forward, i won’t say a word, you will go back to the location, i stood in the ranks, turned to the right, look at the ranks, no one step forward didn’t do it, so we sat down and made our way under shelling, occupied it, that’s where the heaviest battles... took place on this height, these are the objects that speak about the history of this particular region, so yes, this is important, this is important, it is important to preserve

so that children, our descendants, in 50, in 100 years, they can come here and also clearly firmly know your history, how the settlement of donbass happened in general, starting under catherine, she gave land here for settlement to poles, germans, jews, that is, here. people came here for working people came here following the abolition of serfdom in 1861, people came here to earn money, then there are people who knew that they would work here , here they would receive money, then the great patriotic war , the decree of the donbass coal mines, here there were ukrainians, here there were the entire soviet union, everyone who was caring, who participated in the war, settled people are here. i have a light , this is what it is, yes, what it was, what a fire there was, yes, so

, what are you doing here? - under cartridges, well, in short, it’s understandable it happened that they saved these boxes for, i hope that our women did not throw them away anywhere, but they were here, the order of lenin, a letter of honor was kept, a letter of honor from catherine ii. here on this rack. here. and she was in the case in the ashes; he tries

to find the remains of a wax seal or the locks of the case, but not finding them, he draws a comforting conclusion for himself. perhaps this historical document is intact. here. well, unfortunately, that's what i was afraid of. that is, even if it melted, then... the metal should have remained, well, i tried to find something here, there is nothing, that is, most likely, i think that it was stolen and there is hope that sooner or later it will be found, which means the connection between centuries of russian history of this region is unbroken, museum workers help us a lot, so they learn about our problems, they they call us, write, they bring us something, even material assistance and orchard equipment and... little things without which we could not work, we have our official bosses, this is the pushkin nature reserve in mikhailovsky, who also provides us with

financial assistance. now we are also leading such communication about the prospects for restoring our blood museum building with mikhail borisovich pyatrovsky, we hope that after all, our sister city will help us in restoration. kupinsky direction, we’re going to the guys , the scouts, they said the other day, we’re going on a mission, so we’re getting ready, we’re going through everything , the work is very hard, it’s combat work, when we’re already going on a mission, snipers are covering the lines where the enemy might come from, i received a summons , 2 hours later i was already at the military registration and enlistment office, they took reconnaissance, asked, will you go, i said i’ll go.
