historical roots of novorossiya, with the help of a careful look at history, we will try to reveal our images of its present day, find typical features and recognizable signs of the past, that’s what we’ll talk about today. to call the province novorossiysk is a decision that is more than 250 years old. instead of novorossiysk.

the panins proposed calling the new province catherine, but the empress wrote on the project: to call the province novorossiysk, so the word “novorossiya” came into official use. in september of the same year, to the boundaries of novorossiya at the request.

the great implemented the idea of ​​peter i about the development of the azov-black sea region. true, peter expected that the settlers would be mainly representatives of orthodox slavic peoples. catherine went further; she encouraged not only orthodox slavs, armenians and greeks, but also protestants, catholics, and even old believers schismatics to settle in novorossiya. catherine ii with her manifestos on religious tolerance. encouraged foreigners to settle in order to develop our crafts and trade, in fact, formed the country’s new human capital, due to brain flow. in addition, she in every possible way encouraged the settlement of new lands by little russians and great russians from other provinces of the empire. as a result, novorosiya became not only a military outpost in the southwestern direction, but also one of the most socio-economically developed regions of russia.

catherine's transformations and the historical path of the principles laid down still largely determine the unity of views and ideas of today's residents of the region. their basis is love of freedom, selfless work, economic enterprise.

a city in russia built according to the so-called regular plan, it was this that became the prototype of the future st. petersburg, but not only in this was taganrok a pioneer, from here russia’s advance to the south historically began. taganrok, as it were, stood on the path of further development of a large territory of novorossiya, a wild field, and we can say that probably taganrok, as it were, is located on the border of novorossiya; in principle, it has an inextricable connection with this territory. today, when they hear the word azov, as a rule, the first remember the russian city of the same name. and not

a historical-geographical region, a nazi group fighting as part of the armed forces of ukraine. meanwhile, the concept of azov has little in common, in fact, even with ukraine itself. this territory became part of the ukrainian soviet republic. although it was part of historical russia and as a result of this we have this gap in the historical fabric, as if after the soviet union collapsed these territories, precisely because of these historical collisions, passed into the ukrainian ussr, although this was wrong. how it is known that history does not teach anything, it only punishes for mistakes, and in order not to make them in the future, it is extremely important to convey the knowledge of its key chapters to everyone. in the very center of moscow. a modular exhibition dedicated to the history of russia’s advance to the south is a kind of reference book accessible to any passerby. walking along the boulevard, everyone can familiarize themselves, for example, with excerpts from the biography of the hero of the defense of sevastopol, admiral nakhimov. in total, the exhibition includes more than twenty

portraits of russian commanders, whose names are inextricably linked with the history of the development of novorossiya and crimea. and the idea was to show cultural, historical continuity with russia, that is, to show what these actually are. lands, well, these territories were initially discovered and developed by russian explorers, they were painted by russian artists, we built the walls of kherson, so that it would stand near the dnieper for centuries. these shots were taken in 2003, then , to celebrate the 225th anniversary of kherson, the monument to the founder of the city, his serene highness prince grigory potemkin, the closest associate of catherine the great, was finally restored. organizer of all novorossiya. despite petitions at the nationalist visits put potemkin on a pedestal. at the referendum , more than 90% of kherson residents supported the establishment of the monument. for some reason, relations between russia and ukraine are strained. and in my opinion, in the opinion of kherson residents, this is

artificial tension. words spoken that day by the city mayor vladimir salda, now the governor of the kherson region, after two maidans and 10 years. the wars in donbass even seem somewhat naive; then no one could have thought that the situation would go so far. the most impressive a set of materials on the enemy, and on the ukrainian side, this is literature, here is a publication, here you go, a colorful comic book, prince vladimir, yes, in pictures, well illustrated, as if the ukrainian symbolism is so neat. well , here you go, yes, it was published in florida, united states of america, 2011, and this prism is already in 2018, and, interestingly, it was originally designated as vladimir, prince of russia, yes, but naturally, it

was no longer possible to write like that for ukrainians. in the state museum of contemporary history in russia they show us the latest trophies, objects that are meticulously collected by employees included in the inter-museum acquisition group... many formed the basis of traveling exhibitions in different cities of the country. these projects, however, tell not only about the recent history associated with the northern military district, but also about the historical background of everything that is happening. the term novorosiya, it began to be revived already at the beginning of 2000, primarily through the efforts of intellectuals of the russian movement in odessa, of course, in the donbass, but here, unfortunately, this is what we have. theme of the history of novorossiya turned out to be, again, the lot of highly specialized professionals; in general , it was absent from the public consciousness in the mass consciousness, and this was especially clearly manifested, of course, after february 24 , 2022, when society was shocked and, frankly speaking,

many did not understand what exactly this was. region, why russia came there, that is why it is now so important to show the continuity of history, the interconnection of events, we walk through the halls of the main... museum exhibitions , there are many exhibits dedicated to donbass xx century. carts, such as during the hard years of the civil war, old man makhno requisitioned from the german colonists of new russia, posters of deineka, and of course, entire halls dedicated to the great patriotic war and the post-war restoration of donbass. tens of millions of people laid down their lives for that victory, and the turning point was here, in stalingrad, on the granite slabs near the eternal flame on the mamayev mound, an endless list of names. ordinary junior sergeants officers, ukrainians and russians seem to be slavic brothers, but this, people should know, of course, what is happening now in ukraine, with which our soldiers are now fighting. in this city on the banks of the volga , the connection between generations is especially acutely felt, and it is even

more surprising here in the museum of the battle of stalingrad today to see exhibits that refer to the symbols of nazi germany, but were created already in the 20th century by the descendants of those ukrainians. grandfathers and great-grandfathers who gave their lives in the fight against nazism. flags, where you and i see a direct, direct reference to those formations that fought here in stalingrad and fought on our land in 1941-1940 fifth the runes that were used by the military organizations of hitler's germany are used today by the military organizations of ukraine. it is very strange. and in this sense, the space of museums, lecture halls and libraries is now the same battlefield, only the battles here are of a different order, but no less important. for the minds and memory of generations.

emotional field, when we talk about historical education in general, it is adequate, as this decree

says, based on scientific achievements, and an idea of ​​one’s own history, this in general, the basis of identity, this is the basis of some kind of civil self-awareness, yes, our troubles and tragedies of today, they are largely connected with the fact that this term was consigned to oblivion, so you can, you know, ban something. to name, to remove the word, yes, the phenomenon itself does not disappear, on the contrary, it always turns out that those who ignore the historical reality, yes, then feel it quite painfully, so to speak, at such critical moments. history in novorussia began to be systematically studied almost from the moment the province itself was created, well, i i’m exaggerating, but 50-60 years after its occurrence, that is, this process is already almost 200 years old, what has changed during this time? the first book, it was a three-volume work, so to speak, for a moment, which was called ancient and modern history of new russia, it

was published, by the way, in paris in 1820, and it was written by one of the comrades-in-arms of the duke of resiliers, who, as we know, was a general - the governor of the novorossiysk region, in fact, this was the first book, yes, that tried to comprehend this, so to speak, history of the regions...

and the problem of the straits immediately turns into the problem of novorossiya, catherine, it turned out

that this topic has been updated, but it’s interesting that already there were the sixties, seventies, when the work of the squad was published, yes, they were also called the northern black sea region, southern ukraine, yes, they all these works ended in the end, well, in the middle of the 19th century , the newer ones in time are closer to us in terms of the coverage of historical periods of the works simply. it didn’t turn out, yes, that is, since the eighties, again in moscow there has been interest in the topic died completely, and historians - in ukraine, yes, they, well, we know very well, it was absolutely politicized, why even in soviet times and kornilov. he wrote beautifully about this, why in soviet times it was impossible to defend or write a dissertation on a book about the bolsheviks who fought for the donetsk-krivozhsky republic, the revolutionaries said, everything is fine, the same thing, we don’t have a single soviet monograph on the odessa republic, that is it seemed, well, because it was probably considered separatism, because it was considered an inconvenient topic, yes, which required explaining how it happened, where did it all go, and even more so with the disintegration

of the soviet union, in general it’s like here, so to speak, historians had no interest in this at all, because ukraine fought for unitarity. could have been developed by historians when there was a certain serious request from statesmen for this, but now i hope that such a turn to this historical topic is taking place again. well yes, this is very important, this is big part of state policy, comprehension of history, precisely what is associated with

historical education, are historians today satisfied with everything in the study of novorossiya or are there some? of socialization we definitely need a department and, probably, more than one, and both in the capitals, yes, and locally, yes, it could be sevastopol and mariupol, and donetsk, obviously we need some centers in the capitals, because the archives we have in st. petersburg, moscow, yes, that is , such old scientific centers, of course, need a periodical publication that would accumulate all these moments, this

topic, into the context of our general historical enlightenment, yes, to which this is what we need to say. at a high level, we clearly have serious attention; they will already introduce it in full. thank you very much, sasha, for the interesting , detailed story. in soviet times, donbass became not only a place of grandiose labor achievements and global economic transformations. the atmosphere of large-scale changes attracted the attention of artists, writers, and filmmakers. there was something to film and show here. independent and bright people, rapidly growing industrial giants, silhouettes of terikons and vast expanses of the steppe. the first soviet sound documentary was filmed here. in 1930 , the film “enthusiasm” appeared, symphony of donbass, directed by dzigivertov. under the marches

of dmitry shustakovich, miners went to the slaughter, ore was melted in furnaces, donbass cities changed before our eyes. charlie chaplin called vertov's film one of the most impressive sound-visual symphonies. in 1937, director sergei yutkevich made the feature film miners at linfilm. shakhtyorsky a town in the steppe, new methods of coal mining, party leadership and the fight against class enemies. everything was very recognizable. the film became the first big film role of the legendary actor and singer. the story of the young underground fighters and their martyrdom was so vivid in the memory of the krasnodon residents that the filming site of the execution scene had to be cordoned off; people could not

contain their emotions, open to uncompromising. in their assessments, hardworking and sincere, these are the people that director leonid lukov, a native of mariupol, spoke about in his films, and even though not all of his characters had donbass registration, the director often took as a basis their characters, the traits of his fellow countrymen, about a man who made films with an open soul, in the story of olga mokhova. leonid lukov's childhood and teenage years occurred at the beginning of the 20th century. mariupol at that time was a major industrial center in the south of the country. as a port city, it has a very colorful population mix. different cultures, the lokov family, in this house on mitropolitskaya they rented an apartment, they lived poorly. he was 14 years old, he had already played chatsky in the dramatic

young actor's circle. we went to the villages, since it was the twenties, we were quite hungry, and there we staged our performances. it was also a time of cinematic craze. in mariupol, literally in one block there are several cinemas at once. the building of one of them, which was then called. the giant is just now being restored, it was badly damaged during the fighting, it was here that twelve-year-old leonid lukov was brought by his mother, at first he worked as an assistant projectionist. lukov was instructed to include emergency light in the hall, when the gas turned off, the main lighting went off, while he quietly opened the door into the hall, a whole bunch of boys ran in and sat in front. straight to the floor, it was customary to call this the lukovsky row. the boy, in love with cinema, took on any job, cleaned the mechanic's booths, cleaned the cinema equipment, controlled

the lighting lantern, and only then was he entrusted with turning the crank of the movie camera. he became the organizer of a society of soviet cinema lovers in the city of mariupol. they had their own apparatus and released several documentaries films. another passion of leonid lukov was. writing, one after another he sent his stories and essays to various editors, when he turned 18, only after the open kiev film studio accepted his script vanka and the avenger for production. leonid lukov called donbass a land of strong people with a beautiful soul and a great heart, dedicated a number of films to it, the very first of them were released in the thirties of the last century, this is an italian film about the participation of komsomol members in the restoration of the coal industry, and i love from three... generations of one family working in a pre-revolutionary mine, this film, by the way, is considered the first feature film about donbass. this film already showed that from a self-taught person, because

lukov had no special education, an original director was born. this work, like all his subsequent ones, was distinguished by attention to detail, knowledge of the material, and the ability to truthfully show the life of a miner. and the very next film, “big life,” brought lukov stunning success. lukov knew how to, as it were... convey all this in a simple, understandable way, in an accessible language, without any frills, without any directorial bells and whistles, as they would say now, and the characters themselves are shown in such a way that you recognize them as absolutely ordinary people, they say the actors loved acting with lukov for his attentive attitude towards them, another feature of all lukov’s paintings is incredible musicality, you are waiting for lizaveta, dark night, scows, all these songs immediately stepped over.

from the urals and a welder from odessa, so much so that the whole country fell in love with them. a lyrical display of war, yes, there was still a lot left before it time when it would become important for soviet cinema, lukov was ahead of this time , showed it exactly like this, in no case, without departing from the theme of patriotism, the theme of victory, he just had his own view of it, after the war leonid lukov decided to film it now already at the gorky film studio the continuation of a great life. about how the restoration of his native donbass proceeded, showed flooded mines, poor living conditions, endless feasts, the film was shelved for more than 10 years. lukov showed absolutely without any

embellishment, yes, without absolutely any the cover, the real situation that was in the donbass, that’s what outraged stalin. this film was an absolute disaster, and it certainly cost the bow its health. different destinies, two lives, his interest in people was always genuine, and the life situations shown are very realistic. lukov was, of course, something special, not only a specialist, not only a professional, but a special... philosopher, i would probably say so, he worked with any material. leonid lukov admitted that all his life he was irresistibly drawn to the spacious donbass

steppes when the opportunity arose. he took the entire film crew at least for a day to his native mariupol, where he ran barefoot on the paving stones, listened to the surf and where the story of his great love for cinema began. olga mokhova, anastasia popova, valery savelyev, typical novorossiya. that's all we wanted to talk about today. kirill vyshinsky was with you. see you soon.
