flats get off at the head. he left with another she will find another.

the history of a large country this is the history of her people is its foundation, no matter how strong a person is, physically he needs a spiritual support for me. this is a family, its history is that it is unshakable that to know it for centuries means to receive invisible support for the current and future generation of my family. and this is my family tree.

my life has been many victories, but most importantly, victory this is my family. my children, they, too, will probably, like me, be interested in learning about their ancestors, how did they live? what were they doing? i think we can do it. nikolai valuev , a world heavyweight champion boxer, had 52 fights, in which he won 50 victories after starring in the film stone head. critics also spoke about the acting talent of the russian giant. so they called valuev for his huge height of 2 m 13 cm. born in 1973 in leningrad, the son of sergei valuev and mikhailova's hopes about the history of his family.

nikolai valuev knows almost nothing from the relics in the family, only a few photographs and strange metal object with a sharp hook. nikolai valuev wants to find out who the boxers were and what his ancestors did. also interested in the meaning of the surname, often such information can help in the search nikolai visits the program website, my family tree the surname valuev came from the word. value. this is the name of the yellowish-white rodo mushroom, a russula with a very sticky hat, a person who received such a surname was probably a good mushroom picker, and there was a nickname. value. so the chernozem region was called sluggish and clumsy square, and in sheberi, on the contrary, a mighty hero who easily dragged huge boulders. he himself was strong as a stone and could knock down a nickname from him with a blow in the south of russia. value. it was written through o and meant an ox or cow act begins to study its genealogy soon. he

will have to find out from which of his ancestors he inherited his huge growth, how his great-grandfather used the law of universal gravitation. and that seven on the benches is not the limit. nicholas died early, so the initial information about the ancestors of the boxer expects to get from mom and aunt. well, the only thing is how u have information. i will say that they were born, the yaroslavl region of the danilovsky district was born in 1952 in leningrad, nikolaev's mother who were the ancestors and how they ended up in st. petersburg nadezhda mikhailovna does not know conversations on this topic in the family, they tried to avoid some secret which nikolai wants to unravel. tell me about your grandfather. the chairman of the horticultural association

was born in 1950 in leningrad, nikolai valuev's paternal aunt. at your father's here at yours grandfather had a large family. he was one boy. he also had four sisters. in principle, he was the penultimate family of all of them, and now, the tver region, the former soviet kalinin village, fell. now nikolai knows the mouth of the valuevs originates in the village of podol, tver region. this information should be the key to further search. in addition, the boxer finds out from which of the ancestors he inherited his huge growth. regarding the fact that kolya is so big with us , it seems, where did it come from, all of a sudden we are all like that my mother's small grandfather, he was 2 m tall nikolai chistyakov was born around 1870, about nikolai valuev's paternal great-grandfather at a

demonstration. he always wore the banner of the factory at outstretched arms. why is such a huge one from a conversation with his mother and aunt nikolai learned that all his ancestors were peasants, tver and yaroslavl provinces, to find out how to continue the search, nikolai goes to the program website - my family tree. if the place where your relatives lived before 1918 is known, it doesn’t even have the exact dates of their birth, you can start an archival belt of metric books and confessional murals of the church of this locality, while the chances of finding your ancestors are quite high. nikolai valuev writes a request to the yaroslavl regional archive with a request to find documents about ancestors on the maternal side, and he decides to go to the door. nikolai wants to independently collect as

much information as possible about the valuevs' paternal family, first of all, he goes to the tver museum of local lore to find out the purpose of the family heirloom a metal object with a hook. as a fisherman, of course, i understand that it could be a hook or i don’t know, whatever, but something all the same. tells me what it is for for another use of the thing. here, probably, they will tell us here what it really is, so it remains to be seen. question, well

, here they were holding on to a tree. if you look closely there are a large number of swords. they are not just poked, not just made. they are made wisely and correctly. here we can, let 's put our rope on there and measure it here here. it's already clear. meaning to understand. it was not in vain that nikolai decided to study the family heirloom. it turns out that not every peasant could afford such metal scales, probably, valuev's ancestors were wealthy people and owned a rich economy. to confirm this guess , nikolai goes to the tver regional. in

the archive, nikolai will have great luck. he finds documents that tell about the life of the valuev family in the pallet village in life in their hands. haven't held this one yet. it's all you brought this all applies somehow. yes of course it does. these documents, which are here, cover the period from 1800 to 1918, and it turns out that we were able to identify seven generations, this is the government. sergei valuev, a peasant, was born in 1891 in the village of podol, tver province, great-grandfather

of nikolai valuev from archival documents, it turns out that sergei valuev had 10 brothers, and the head of a large family about the great-grandfather of the boxer, ilya valuev, really owned a rich peasant economy in the village of podol. may be, there is something else interesting that there is to tell all sorts of meet, but you don’t meet at all died a little in the family. in the archive, nikolai learns that

his great-grandfather sergei valuev in the early twenties of the last century hastily left for petrograd, which made him literally run away from the hem of the document, not a word about this in order to find out how to continue the search nikolai re-enters the site of the maya genealogy program much useful more information can be found in the places of residence of your ancestors, go there and talk to the old people. they can remember many of their countrymen and tell you a lot of interesting things. nikolai goes to the village of podol. he hopes that one of the local old-timers remembers his ancestors and will be able to tell about them. soon he will have to find out why his great-grandfather from a thin brother was happy to answer, how to give a couple, so that it should go to hell and where the firewood on the grass comes from. hello

and you are from this village, too. yes, not me personally. but my ancestors say they lived here, already in the 18th century i’m a little olga zakharovna, the oldest resident of the village she not only remembers the valuev family, it turns out that they were neighbors of the house of ilya valuev about her great-grandfather. the boxer has stood for almost 150 years in recent years. it was empty, and literally burned down a couple of months ago. here it is, here are the plants that were just planted near the house. the house was pretty, but

nice. olga zakharovna has preserved old peasant clothes from her ancestors. ilya, the great-grandfather of the boxer, wore exactly the same ones. these are boots and this is a jacket .

there was a firewood harvesting; men in the family had enough good money to saw and chop one tree it cost 15 kopecks for work on the spot, and with delivery 40 kopecks with this ax, which worked for more than 100 years and about great-grandfather nikolai ilya kolya, this is how we used to hire when we were lonely to chop wood to cut. understand me. i'll tell you now , please, let's go, i'll show you.

a bathhouse in which almost nothing has changed over the past 100 years, olga zakharovna's daughter.

it was just an anomaly that happened to me. sauna we have a very old bathhouse ceilings must be low, because i do not heat the smoke comes here, the smoke goes through the doors. here they stoked stoked a lot of firewood was burned so that until it all heats up. and you can steam. after the bath, nikolai continues his search, it turns out that several more people remember his ancestors in the village of podol. hello hello you

know, i heard that you know a little bit of the valuevs, who here we lived in the same village. alexey valuev was a cousin. both as a chairman and as a person, nikolai

is interested in the reasons for the sudden flight from the village to petrograd of his great-grandfather sergei, but tamara ivanovna did not hear anything about this, the chairman of the collective farm, alexey valuev hid that he had an older brother; moreover, he always emphasized that all his relatives live in podol. nikolai, this seems very strange. what happened between the brothers, perhaps someone in the village knows the answer to this question. hello, there are various rumors that there is an interesting story about this house. can you tell. was not born until the seventeenth year were frightened.

now it is clear to nikolai because of what his great-grandfather fled from the village to petrograd, the revolution drove klin into a large and friendly family. one of the brothers. alexey fought on the side of the reds, and then became the chairman of the collective farm, another great-grandfather, a boxer, sergei did not want to recognize soviet power and refused to join the collective farm, when the force campaign began, the prosperous peasant sergei valuev disappeared from the village with his family, and in his house the chairman of the collective farm alexei valuev ordered to open a first-aid post. this extension was made after when the first-aid post was here, this extension was made. here's this one from the other side. with us you did not ask them such a house.

crying in the frame, it seems, as if nothing, no way i i did not expect that my ancestors did not live here for a long time. now nikolai valuev knows why the family hid the history of his father's family, but the famous boxer does not end his search for a hem in the village. soon he will have to find out which of the four versions of the origin of his surname is correct, why his ancestor covered rotten eggs with gold, and who will give salted valuya to the value? the famous boxer nikolai valuev is studying his pedigree, he already found out that his ancestors were noble lumberjacks,

then i’ll go over the black and how his great-grandfather ended up in petrograd, nikolai continues to study the history of the family in the village of podol, tver region. from conversations with local residents, he learns that his ancestors calmly heard the century as the best mushroom pickers in the area, and their specialty was salty, so they got the surname valuev probably my ancestors knew a lot about lului, which is why they took this surname thanks to people like you. maybe some great-grandfather was a well-known specialist in value places. since childhood, i really like to pick mushrooms, i really love my grandfather. they also say that white fungus should sound. he just sounds so strong.

local resident tatyana mogilevskaya offers nikolai to pickle mushrooms according to the old valuev

recipe; his main secret is in unpeeled garlic. here we have cooked your mushrooms that you have collected , at the moment we will salt the mushrooms, as your ancestors salted. here we are at the bottom of the saucepan we cut the blackcurrant leaf dill. then a little bit we cut the garlic did. now let's add some mushrooms. noah water recipe

salted mushrooms according to valuev, wash the mushrooms and cut into boil, put dill currant leaves and unpeeled garlic in salted water on the bottom of the pan, then a layer of mushrooms and salt to taste, then again dill, currant garlic and again mushrooms. so , until the pan becomes full, cover with a wooden lid, put it under oppression, remove the mushrooms that appear on top in a week. ready ready. and you want to try.

well, they were all peasants, it turned out that fyodor mikhailovich mikhailov lived in the yaroslavl province, an orthodox russian roman literate studied in folk zemstvo school was engaged in the fact that gilded poppies. churches to was born in 1878 in the village of strashivo, yaroslavl province, the great -great-grandfather of nikolai valuev on the maternal side. nicholas had no idea that his ancestor had such a rare profession as a gilder. now it becomes clear to him. why did the great-great-grandfather prefer not to talk about this in the soviet years in the family.

fedor was a deeply religious person, he covered with gold leaf the iconostasis and domes of the rare craft of his ancestor. he goes to gold cases, a unique and ancient look in one booklet, weight one and six sheets. gold leaf got its name from the old russian word susala. what did the face mean, the muzzle, the cheeks, therefore, with gold leaf cover the face, the products are made by hand, small pieces of gold are shifted with special paper and beaten with a hammer, over the entire stack until the metal is gone. several tens of times thinner than a human hair, one gram is enough to gild a soccer ball. she's a dome bell

veliky in the moscow kremlin. it took 2.5 kg of gold. to be honest, from childhood i was good at everything that i did with my hands. yes, everything that relates to work and the accuracy of movement, as with all these circumstances. at the boxer. valuev will soon be. clearly now it will cover with gold leaf. element, i can not understand. gradually, nikolay learns the secrets of his ancestor's craft. before gilding, dirt and grease must be removed; for this, the product is treated with vodka. gold sticking to a brush was a very difficult

profession, gilding on a mercury morgan was especially dangerous. these are domes of crosses. here is what is now at st. isaac's cathedral. in st. petersburg , thick pieces of gold 4 g were preserved. and then it was necessary to burn out this malgam with blowtorches so that it evaporated, and gold adhesive glue for social gold stuck to the metal, as hundreds of years ago they made from alcohol and rotten. life smells of this infernal mixture is not the most pleasant and again unhealthy, suffers a lot memory of hydrogen sulfide, rest. the final stage is polishing and now the gilded stucco element is ready. i like this topic right now.

nikolai valuev studied the craft of his great-uncle fyodor mikhailov, who, being a deeply religious person, gilded the iconostasis and domes in st. petersburg, one of them was given to the church in the name of the descent of the holy spirit after the revolution for a radio engineering plant, so coincidentally that the father and grandfather of the boxer worked there. unfortunately. they passed away nikolai goes to the factory. maybe there he will be able to find out unknown details from the life of his grandfather's father. soon he will have to find out for what hooligan trick. his grandfather was fined 6 rubles. 60 kop. why did his ancestor need an iron head and why did grandfather's suit weigh 80 kg? world boxing champion nikolai valuev continues to study his pedigree, he has already found out what

his last name means, he learned to pickle mushrooms according to the recipe of his ancestors and found out how 100 years ago his great-grandfather gilded the floor. now in his native st. petersburg. nikolay collects information about the life of their father and grandfather, both of them worked at a radio engineering plant. sergei valuev, a worker , was born in 1949 in leningrad, the father of nikolai valuev. as soon as the famous boxer crosses the threshold of the enterprise, a medal awaits him, which his father could have received 16 years ago. unfortunately, your father was not able to receive a silver veteran's medal with a certificate, and i'm happy to do so. how does your family tradition continue. thanks it. you don't even know how important this is. yes? i am everything i think it's always nice and thank you. it's basically a memory. thanks to the boxers, his full namesake

nikolai sergeevich, the workers of the radio engineering plant , was born in 1924 in the village of podol, tver region. from the factory documents, the boxer learns that his grandfather was an avid athlete and was responsible for holding football matches at the factory, the boxer goes out between the workshops and became not only the full namesake of his grandfather, but also inherited his love for sports and was interested in sports. my father was also interested in sports. well, father is not enough survived, but it was preserved in the case, because he judged all the football matches of our sukhovs that took place, and besides, he judged around the city once, he

judged around the city, this means that he was somewhere either, uh, the first. uh, the category is either even higher than the category, because the football matches of the city championship were trusted only by people of a high category. grandfather, it turns out, grandfather had a difficult character, he had a sharp temper and rare ingenuity. for which one day the restoration of the partnership of the grandfather court paid flooded comrade fedorov with water, it cost now, but then it cost 6 rubles. for the fact that the neighbor's comrade is tough. what couldn't? during the war, the boxer's grandfather served as a sapper diver, cleared underwater

mines in the family, his certificate was preserved. nikolai wants to learn about this dangerous military profession, he goes to the diving museum as much as possible. in the hands of the military id of nikolai sergeevich valuev, grandfather e, nikolai sergeevich and his full namesake, and here uh, according to the records, it is easy to establish in the military id that uh grandfather uh served as a sapper diver in a special guard battalion and was engaged in just ensuring the safety of the passage, uh, of our troops and civilians through all water obstacles that were exposed to sports. well, here is a photograph, just uh, it clearly shows that the equipment that was used, uh, in those

years, uh, has not changed at all to this day. here, please, try them on with something reminiscent of mine that are not fishing. well, to finally immerse yourself in the profession. here try this shirt. one thing i can say in such a helmet you can go out.

now nikolai wants to know what feelings his grandfather experienced, plunging under water, a boxer goes to a diving school. nikolay nikolai you are also my brother before diving nikolay undergoes a mandatory briefing. he must learn to breathe properly and move underwater.

it is impossible to put on a diving suit without outside help, first you need to climb in, put a 10-kilogram rubber overall on top of it with a metal shirt-front, then hoist it on head, a copper helmet weighing 22 kg, and fasten it with bolts, then fasten two

lead weights of 16 kg each on the chest and back, each and finally there will be legs in huge boots with copper weights, and in addition, the suit weighs about 80 kg air is supplied from surfaces through a special hose. in such a suit, you can work at a depth of up to 60 m.

the first dive of nikolaev was short-lived, but the impression went off scale. wearing diving equipment turned out to be hard work even for such a hero as nikolai valuev. me, of course. it was an adventure for my grandfather , everyday hard work, great respect for people in this profession. boxer world champion, he managed to restore the pedigree in depth. until the seventh generation, he learned how his ancestors lived and what their ancestors did in the tver region, received

a medal that they did not manage to hand over to their father during his lifetime. you know that when you grow up you will be such a girl, everything with him is conscious, for sure, ours is not very interested. who were our grandmothers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers. and yet we managed to collect such information. now it will be possible for you and your ears to know who they were. what did they do, and i'm like your dad? should have done it. i think it was interesting to me. and i hope it will be interesting for you too. now he is a successful photographer, a professional skier

and a happy person, but everything could have turned out quite differently 8 years ago, life subjected him to a difficult test, while climbing elbrus, he stumbled and fell down 2 km. rolled down a rocky slope and survived more than a day. he fought for life, suffered from thirst, lost 10 kg i stopped feeling the weight of my legs. the rescue operation lasted more than 10 hours, and that's it. this time did not leave him. hope legs could not be saved. and it radically changed his life, and for the better. now he continues to go to the mountains, he is professionally engaged in skiing and lives on prostheses. taught him the basics. never give up and always go to the intended goal, not

paying attention to the obstacle alone with everyone skier mountaineer and photographer sergey alexandrovna hello, i am glad to greet you in our studio, you know, i'm always very interested in people who, uh, some from a general point of view, but interpret misfortune as a new impetus to life. but you are almost a gift. i would even say fate. and why i do not know how to answer this question. this is by far the most difficult question. although he probably expect the thing is that when it happened, yes, uh, well, it was a state of shock. here i am , there without legs with a temperature. i feel very bad. it's physically a complete nightmare. yes, that is, you do not know how to live and you are physically ill, well, actually everything should collapse and inside it should have been bad. well, this is normal. yes, it didn't happen to me either. i do not know how to explain it. for me. this is a great gift. this uh, uh, i was

already happy, then in a completely terrible state with the simplest things a window opened. i heard the birds there. and i felt good. from this. i was happy. e the simplest things. that i regard it as a gift, because i don't know the answer. yes, where did it come from and because of what and why? and because well , i'm not something that i didn't deserve. i'm nothing for it i didn’t do it, because sometimes you find the strength in yourself to pull yourself out of the swamp. there, well, somehow you do something, and it was. well, for free you got the feeling of a gift, but you know what i might suspect, maybe because the chance that you could lose this life is completely and it was also quite large. maybe this is not a chance. these are rough statistics. more than 90% of such a situation dies within an hour and a half, respectively, live 32 hours. it's a

problem you would rather send him there than stay here, and therefore there is something that, well, as if the news that there will be an amputation, it did not cause any big problems. i live it. well, the most important thing is that it actually happened. well, i don’t know what to call it a tragedy. for me. this is indeed a very big adventure. it sounds completely crazy and well speaking of tragedy, most recently before this injury. i didn't have a mother. that was a real tragedy for me. this is something that i ca n't explain to go through and it became so serious for me. why did she die so hard. it's cancer and it's scary when your loved one dies. so hard for me for several years it was a key issue in understanding the world in an attempt to understand it, yes, in general , in every minute, i felt that it was

important for me to understand what death is from why it was at all, and it was so important. i counted in general everything that is possible on this topic to understand what death is, what is beyond these limits with concepts in everything, that is, i tried to approach this question from all sides. well, the most productive way. this is the key to essential psychotherapy. and the idea is that, in general, death does, the very notion of presence in our life e makes our life valuable. ah, when an aunt with a scythe is standing nearby, you begin to understand what is really valuable to you, what is important? and what? well what's the point if she's around as well and for me it was n't a word for a few years it was straight. well, here's the question that knocked every minute, perhaps that's why i climbed into the mountains there. yes high and i was scared and was looking for death in no case, in general

i don’t like risk and i can’t stand it. yes, i always buckle up, but beyond the limits. i'm interested in extremely simple and and it's just interesting that literally that's before the ascent. yes , the next morning we were going to elbrus, it was generally a training ascent, we had very serious plans. in the evening, the thought suddenly comes to me that death is insanely interesting, this is the most interesting event that can happen to your life, it, well, sounds crazy, but the meaning is that, as it were, and at this moment all questions open up. that is, as if everything falls into place, everything is for real. here uh. you say, but about this fall that happened, that, so to speak, elementary attention was needed for that, that is, it was not some kind of direct extreme extreme question. it's just that they got caught foot in foot and, as i understand it, behind my own and further.
