to find out what the destroyed icons looked like, we went to the shchusev research institute of architecture, where restorers painstakingly collected all the known photographs, engravings and watercolors with images of the kremlin gatehouses, starting from the 16th century. this watercolor shows the icon case of the spasskaya tower from the inside, this is a rather rare view, because the kremlin was usually depicted from the outside, yes, and here we are talking about the time before the war of 1912, that is, the kremlin that had not yet suffered from napoleon, here here let's make and... one more very

important digression and go to the small town of mozhaisk. mozhaisk is an ancient outpost of the russian state since vladimir manomakh founded a wooden kremlin here in 113. it was the largest city and the most. centuries the enemy besieged the city, then st. nicholas appeared in the sky with a sword in his right hand and hail in his left. the enemies fled, and the residents of mozhaisk placed a carved image of the saint on the city gates. and these are exactly the

same gates of the 14th century on which the the image of st. nicholas, a miraculous carved image. look, this is how the protector of the lands of mazhai and moscow has been here since the 14th century. and imagine how deep the connection between the mazhai and moscow kremlin is, there the nikolskaya tower with the image of st. nicholas of mozhaisk protects the heart of our russia, and here st. nicholas of mozhaisk protects the borders of the moscow principality. the hatred of the european conquerors towards the saint was almost irrational. the french partially blew up the nikolskaya tower, but only the icon case with st. nicholas survived, in mozhaisk the image of the saint was sought napoleon himself. but the residents walled up the revered image in the wall of the cathedral, a century and a half later this place was found. this is exactly the supposed place where in 1812, the residents of mazhaysk hid the image of nikola to save it from ours. and now, exactly

100 years later, unknown restorers saved under a layer of plaster on the nikolskaya spasskaya towers of the kremlin the icons that from the first days began to irritate the bolsheviks so much. the notes of the kremlin commandant, pavel malkov, are dirty, blackened, almost entirely with broken glass and long gone.

"these days i had the idea to get rid of the icons that were hanging on the kremlin towers and cathedrals, constantly an eyesore, but i decided to ask vladimir ilich or yakov mikhailovich, and then the opportunity presented itself. and here is what malkov also writes in his memoirs, leaving the entrance to the council of people's commissars, we called the tsar bell, and drew level with the annunciation cathedral, and then i asked vladimir ilich if we should remove it."

ancient pskov, which for centuries held back the onslaught of the west, is called the house of the holy trinity. on the gates of the pskov kremlin you can still see see the icon of the holy trinity, it is not identical to the one that was recreated on the troitskaya tower of the moscow kremlin, but their spiritual, protective connection is undeniable. now i am doing gilding work on the image of the trinity icon for the troitskaya tower of the moscow kremlin. then this gold will be beautifully decorated with blackening. the wings of angels will be gilded, all the halos of the saints will be gilded. you see a unique document, this is a passport of the monuments of the moscow kremlin of the early 20th century. in the inventory of the fortress

walls and towers of the kremlin, employees of the central state restoration workshops, left sensational information for researchers.

countries quite recently masterpiece of andrei rublev icon holy trinity returned to the lavra of st. sergius of radonish, where the abbot of the russian land blessed prince dmitry donskoy for the victorious battle of kulikovo, to bow to the great shrine of iraq with the relics of the founder of the monastery president vladimir putin came.

this cave was built by god. the dreupsk-pechersk monastery is guarded by saints and saints who rest in underground caves. and we will create an eternal ha.

the same outpost is the mskovo-pechersky monastery, the westernmost borders, which are connected with centuries-old events, the offensive from our, let's say, unfriendly countries, the heroic defense of our state, our fatherland. the protective connection of the kskov land, it probably echoes in these courtyard icons, which are in the pechersky monastery, in the moscow kremlin.

the precise strokes of the image of the kazan mother of god with angels on the inner side of the nikolskaya tower helped to recreate archival photographs. and this is one of the early images of the kremlin strelnitsa, which... we are showing on television for the first time, such an unusual image for modern perception of the nikolskaya tower, decorated with the coronation of catherine ii, became another important piece of evidence in painstaking research. now the restorers knew for sure that there really was an icon in this place , and although it was impossible to establish which one, the very fact that the gatehouse had existed in this place since ancient times was documented. this is already a kind nikolskaya tower from the inside, yes, that is, this

is also a view before the war of the twelfth year, the tower still has such a fairly laconic image before, respectively, before its reconstruction , the passage is also visible above it, respectively , the icon case was located, this is the only image, the recreation of which was not done on a brass base, the icon was painted directly on the brickwork, in the technique in ... from photographs it was necessary to recreate the image completely repeating all the scales of the figures of the movement of the parts in general , what was 100 years ago was recreated in the greatest possible detail.

opposite the nikolskaya tower is the kazan cathedral, also destroyed by the bolsheviks and rebuilt in 1993, where the great shrine of the same name is located, before which minin and pozharsky prayed. and the icon itself saved russia in the time of troubles. the kazan icon of the mother of god was an all-russian shrine; on the days of its celebration, a crowded religious procession headed by the tsar and the patriarch took place from the kremlin, so it is not surprising that above one of the kremlin gates, on one of the towers, namely

nikolskaya, a copy of the kazan icon of the mother of god was also installed, overshadowing this nationwide procession. the images of the equal-to-the-apostles constantine and helena, grand duke vladimir, the faithful princes boris and gleb appeared on the kutafya tower back in the 17th century. and so, painting every detail and... with canonical images in art workshops, step by step, the process of their restoration went on. just the kutafya tower, the entrance one, on it there is also a small icon case with icons above the passage, which are located directly above the entrance arch. the previous gatekeepers were painted on wood and retained their color only due to endless restoration. the recreated icons decided...

unesco world cultural heritage, the entire operation was carried out with extreme care, the holy glorious all-praiseworthy apostles, prophets, forerunners and baptists john, the first mention of another recreated gate painting of john the baptist on the borovitskaya tower also dates back to the middle of the 15th century, and its history is closely connected with the first. moscow. that church was formerly wooden. the church on bor, in that forest and

rublennaya. these are the chronicle lines about the first temple of moscow, which really in the 19th century built here from sosiny on borovitsky hill. church of ian the baptist. then it became stone. and during the construction of the great kremlin palace, by order of nicholas i it was moved to the second tier of the borovitsky tower. if you mentally draw a line from the place of the first temple. where rus was baptized, here came the kiev prince, a pagan, from here left the tsar, the heir of byzantium, now we are fighting for those values ​​that the prince found here, here, in this font of chersanesos, we pray for victory, and through we will receive victory and peace, i believe. the copy of

the korsun icon, which vladimir received at baptism, has been prayed to for many centuries in ancient izborsk. izborsk is a city of russian statehood, it was founded by rurik's brother truvar, here today a stone cross rises above the prince's grave, so it was no accident that vladimir transferred the copy of the icon here, to the city whose patron he was, this is truly an amazing echo of the kremlin icons, st.

nicholas above the city fortress. father dmitry, and how many are in this place is the gate icon located? since the foundation of the fortress in 1341, that is, it is already more than 700 years, yes, but let's return to the important two-part icon on the spasskaya tower, with which we began our story, its upper plot is associated with distant vyatka, now it is kirov, an image famous for healings, which ...

from both sides at once, and although the spas of izvyatka gave the name to the central kremlin tower, the main state view of the kremlin, it is still the spas of smolensk.

smolensk is called the key to moscow, on the passage gates of its towers, icon cases, reminiscent of the gatehouse of the capital. perhaps the arrangement of the icons on the towers of the moscow kremlin served as a model for the gate icons of the smolensk fortress wall, but the reverse process is also possible, this is also certain. in honor of the return of the city. frolovsky then at the gates of the kremlin, on the nespassky gates of the kremlin, the icon of the smolensk savior appeared. and why exactly the savior of the smolensk mother of god, and then on

smolensk? well, it is believed that because there was an icon of the smolensk mother of god nearby . it. time of all fateful trials. and during towers of the country together they defended the state in prayer. on the borodino field this icon was carried along the rows of russian troops, a service was held in front of it, the mother is carried, the intercessor, the smalensk mother, the govorin hope.

another mysterious story is connected with the savior of smolensk: once there were two stone chapels near the spasskaya tower, in one of them a copy of the gate icon was kept. in 1925, the spasskaya chapel was closed, it was located near the spasskaya tower, it was in it that a copy of the gate icon was kept, the savior of smolensk. this icon is close in size to to the image that is now on the spasskaya tower, and this is additional indirect evidence that this is the very same shrine. from smolensk, chersonesos,

izborsk, pskov and bryansk, invisible spiritual threads stretch to the moscow kremlin, which, like a mighty iconostasis, the gravity of its center holds the borders of the state, on which the future of russian civilization is being decided today. it is here that... nikolay, now very much here, asks for the blessing of prayers, and we , many warriors who leave for the svo, come together with them to conduct prayers for the preservation warriors, their lives to the victory of our russian fatherland. even being on the border, we sometimes have a lot of unrest here, and we feel protected by the prayers of the holy mother of god, to ask, like that prince raman, to ask for healing.
