war, associated with the deployment in europe of american pershings, medium-range missiles range, if the united states of america implements such plans, we will consider ourselves free from the previously adopted unilateral moratorium on the deployment of medium- and shorter-range strike weapons, including increasing the capabilities of the coastal forces of our navy. today , the development of a number of such systems is at the final stage. we will take mirror measures to deploy them, taking into account the actions of the united states and its satellites in europe in other regions of the world. in total there were 20 surface ships and boats, one submarine, four sailing ships, and more than 2,500 military personnel were involved. also, for the first time. this year the audience had

and here are new shots from st. petersburg. dear comrades, dear guests, friends, military people have gathered here, but not just military men, but military sailors.

naval service requires special qualities from a person, a special character.

in the world for cooperation, interaction and mutual understanding. water, rivers, seas, oceans, it not only divides people, but also unites them, since these are ways to interact with people, this was the case in throughout the history of mankind.

and once again i send my words of congratulations to your russian colleagues,

this was footage from st. petersburg, vladimir putin met with the commanders of the ships participating in the main naval parade. well, now anna afanasyeva’s documentary about the new khersanes, the largest historical and archaeological park in russia. i will not betray, nor khersanes, nor the beautiful harbors. no other fortifications, but i will defend

them for the people. khersanez saw a lot: the courage of the ancient inhabitants who saved the city from scythian raids, and the feat of the first christian preachers, and the miracle of insight, which happened here with prince vladimir, how chersonesus became a unique sacred center. the assembly point of russian statehood, spirituality and unity. khersanez is the place where the great russian miracle happened. this is the place where the russian people received their dream, their enormous historical task for their entire historical destiny. he received baptism in the person of the prince.

a new khersanez, a large-scale unique historical and archaeological park, has grown. the strategic

goal of this project, it seems to me, is this: to revive the historical, cultural, spiritual heritage of khersanes, to recreate a center of power in crimea. who we are, where we came from, how our statehood developed, because gaining and strengthening identity is the basis. foundations of the future of the country, we will see a lot in ourselves, studying this history of our predecessors, this historical genetics of ours. for 9 long months, prince vladimir kept

korsun under siege, as chersonese was called in ancient russian chronicles; the inhabitants, taken from the pestilence, were eventually forced to surrender. what horror and awe was in the hearts of the citizens, they knew that for 9 long months they were being attacked by a man whose nickname was a beast, who has one law, the longer he resists. peace, princess anna, legal sister of vasily ii, emperor of byzantium.

but vladimir will not see the beauty of anna, nor the streets of the marvelous city located on the shore of the azure bay. the triumph of victory is overshadowed by a terrible illness that destroys the prince. prince vladimir is walking. in our city he doesn’t let anyone near him, and he can’t understand what kind of spirit lives here in this city, what kind of ancient stones are these, what kind of god is this, who deprived him of the most important thing, from the tale of bygone years, by divine providence, at that time vladimir got sick

with his eyes, and did not see anything, and grieved greatly, and did not know what to do, the queen sent to him,

let's start with the fact that this is one of the most ancient cities in our country, it is almost 2,500 years old, for us this is primarily associated with the baptism of prince vladimir, and then with the baptism of his squad, followed by the baptism of all russia. by the way, experts believe that this is the year 988, this is a conditional year, because the baptism itself, the conversion of various slavic tribes to... uh , eastern christianity lasted not only, maybe not even a decade, but a century, this is a large, complex process, but something else is important for us, the important thing is that as a result of this event, the russian nation began to take shape, as such, by this time,

various slavic tribes, well, not only slavic ones, living in this territory, throughout the entire territory ... of the market, they spoke the same language, but functioned within the framework of almost what's the same under the rule of one prince, their economy lacked one thing, it lacked 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...

the new park turned out large-scale, grandiose, iconic, a museum of antiquity and byzantium, a museum of christianity, a museum of crimea and new russia, a pilgrimage center, a youth, craft quarter of the 20th century will open here, where you can see what the city looked like in the era of prince vladimir, serzad. this entire complex

of course, to immerse a person in the flow of his own history, so that the 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 different, so to speak, centers of human thinking and feeling, here, where you stand, something was born , which then lived. for centuries preserving wisdom, faith, history, culture, language, art, here just some of the impressive figures of the project: the park's territory is 24 hectares, 200 military builders worked around the clock for 3 years, 6 million archaeological finds, which... 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, well, some kind of russian russian meka that should attract people, well, from different... for 7 years, we have been actively supporting the reconstruction the main orthodox church of russia , the assumption cathedral in the kremlin, so this experience attracted attention and we were

invited to get involved, we immersed ourselves in the project, in all its details, and our specialists regularly went to construction sites in chersonese, participated in working meetings, our volunteers we also took part in the improvement of 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? admires in general, the territory itself, a new urban territory, is a territory for sevastopol residents, this is a territory for guests of sevastopol and the crimean peninsula. look how magnificent the architecture is. willy-nilly, you and i end up in constantinople. this is so short.

it’s not in vain that archaeological excavations began in 1827, because the goal was what: to find the place of baptism of prince vladimir, this is where it all began, as a result, in the course of these archaeological research, a great city with its history is revealed, for us, for archaeologists, it was definitely. when we started work, it was april twenty-one, we understood the scale, we understood that it was impossible to do it in such a short 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 to 9 m power of the cultural layer and from antiquity to practically the great patriotic war, this is truly the most large-scale excavation to date.

they didn’t find anything, there were marks there, heroclean, that is, this will be the first half of the century bc, that is, this is the most the early period of the life of the city, even before the appearance of the planned blocks that we see now. hersanez - century bc. the main square of the city is especially lively among the crowd. only men, they are determined, the day before a coup was prevented in the city, the oligarchs’ attempt to exterminate democracy was unsuccessful, how did the khersenites manage to prevent the seizure of power and what did this history teach them? more about this a little later, but for now let’s move two centuries ago, when the first greek ships of triremes moored to this shore. khersanez was founded by people from pantian heraclea, according to one version, in the 5th

century bc, when there was... the 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. but they felt cramped at home, this is a classic, an expansion of the people. thailand's economic resources were added, they had already mastered the mediterranean sea, almost everything, already a large part of polnoksinsky mastered the black sea, and khersenez was one of the last colonies founded by the greeks, translated from greek khersenez means peninsula, in the vast greek-speaking world, at that time stretching along the black mediterranean

sea... well, probably, there is no century in the history of khersenez , when khersanes later, yes, korsun, kherson, sevastopol, when its inhabitants would not fight with someone. khersanez is a typical hellenic polis, that is, a city of the state, for conducting all affairs, starting from the minting

of local coins and tax collection. 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.
