hello to tv travelers, last time we met you with the capital of the republic of mariel, the beautiful ashkaral, but the mori region is far from just the capital, it is 179 quietly babbling rivers in the taiga wilderness, among which is the cleanest in russia, the little voncha, from which it is as safe to drink as from healing springs, it is also a million 2000 hectares of untouched, impassable forests, and very diverse, evergreen spruce forests and light birch groves, among them, by the way, 300 officially registered sacred, and mighty oak groves, and the famous ship pines, which peter the great used to build a fleet. national rating of regions of russia, the ecological situation in the republic of maria ell is recognized as one of the best in the country, this is a castle with ghosts, with whom you can spend the night, and there were cases when guests on ... remained

alive, the fate of the rest is unknown, no one saw them again, but about the ominous castle later, now about the tetra. residents of the moria capital love the theater, there are as many as five in the city, children with little ones are taken to the puppet theater, then the younger generation switches to the mareisky tyus, adult performances are in the national language at the mari drama theater, in russian - at the russian drama theater. the pearl is. state academic opera and ballet theater named after the mari composer eric sapaev. it seems to us that in the depths of a good 1.00 km from the moscow bolshoi or st. petersburg mariinsky, it is unlikely that there is a level that meets the discerning taste of a professional. this is not so, and the iyashka rola theater proof of this, it is in tune with all the current trends of the world musical art. here, for opera and ballet performances, as well as. concerts, operettas,

rock operas, the public comes literally from all over european russia. the level here is metropolitan, and the ticket prices are much more democratic. the opera and ballet theater is huge: 12,000 square meters of area, eight rehearsal halls, dozens of dressing rooms, underground passages for storing changing scenery, five floors, and this is only above ground, an auditorium with 650 seats, a repertoire of swan lake and the nutcracker, traviata, aida and evgeny anegin, the exquisite carmina burana and the russian hamlet with the red giselle, staged by boris eifman himself karifei with... the main pride is the huge organ of the famous master daniel kern, made to order in strasbourg. we have only two of these in our country: in

st. petersburg here and yashka role, completely mechanical, made using old technologies, but equipped with all modern electronics. mari l is not one of the largest subjects of the russian federation, it occupies only 73rd place by area, while it is covered with a web of highways quite densely, today their total length is more than 3,300 km, and until recently the quality of these kilometers left much to be desired, well yes, bad roads are the second trouble of our mother, out of 3,000 only 36 km somehow met the standards, 36, but this was before the republic

joined the national project safe and high-quality roads in 2019, 5 years have passed, and what now? according to the results of the third year , 42% have already been brought into a standard condition of motorways, which is 1275 km, as we can see, half of the motorways have been brought up to modern russian standards, and in the shortest possible time, now you can drive with comfort, along one of these wonderful roads, in just 3 hours, without breaking the rules, we drove from iashka-rala to the mari bank of the matoshka volga, there in the village of yurino , a bizarre, multi -faceted variety suddenly appeared in front of us. sheremetev castle estate is one of the most significant historical landmarks of the republic of moriel, the very same castle with ghosts. however, it is strange, with

on one side are impassable moria forests and swamps, sacred groves, a protected lake meadow, and on the other a castle, a new-fangled... architectural styles, a carefully planned regular park of 62 hectares with alleys, pools, fountains, a venetian tower and other delights. how is that? back in the memorable year of 1812, the rich estate of yurin on the left bank of the volga was acquired by major general vasily sergeyevich sheremetev, from that same famous family, the grand-nephew of the famous petrovsky field marshal. he set himself the goal of building on the volga. a real model castle, he lived in italy for a long time, and from there he brought not only money, but also a taste for various trends of european architecture. the castle was built for as long as 40 years, finished in 1915, the estate was erected during this

time by six architects, both russian and foreign, each, naturally, brought something of their own, here and neo-gothic, and features of the arabic style, and old russian, and romanesque and venetian, this is only on the outside. the interior wealth of the sheremetev castle is not inferior to the most luxurious country palace of a european monarch. openwork spiral staircases and the chinese dining room, where a delicious exhibition is now on display, a model of a festive dinner in the sheremetev house. all dishes are natural, including caviar , partridges, sturgeon, and a cake more than a meter high. everything is real. although, of course, they are covered with a special preservative mass to please the eyes of visitors for a year, and then they are replaced with a fresh culinary masterpiece, a dear guest, in whose honor such a table was set at the end of the 19th century, general mikhail skobelev, yes, that same legendary hero

the russo-turkish war, during which bulgaria was liberated from the ottoman yoke, but the main interest of those coming to the village... yurina is the dungeon. every self-respecting castle has a mysterious dungeon with ghosts, and the shiremech castle, of course, has them too. and the ghost, here. the translucent sufferer, is a young serf girl named palasha, her youthful beauty flattered the cruel serf owner sergei vasilyevich sheremetev. the girl turned out to be not a timid ten, and besides, she had a favorite fiancé, so she hit the master candlestick. here he harbored rudeness in his soul, and the soldiers gave the groom away, and walled up the wanking young lady. the spirit of the poor palashenka, after the death of her tormentor, moved to more... apartments. by the way, about apartments. anyone who wants

can rent a room in the castle for a fairly reasonable fee. for a day, for two. wake up in the morning, drink coffee, walk along the galleries and go out onto the balcony. and there, there is a stunning view of the mother of russian rivers, the beautiful volga. during the years of tsarism , the shore was much further from the castle, several kilometers away. they built it in 1980. downstream the cheboksary hydroelectric power station and the cheboksary reservoir overflowed, and the river now comes almost to the threshold of the estate, tourists began to be brought to the castle from nizhny novgorod by water, in addition, there is a wide sandy beach nearby, you can combine educational with pleasant and swim on a hot summer day. recently, the concept of glamping has emerged, the word comes from a combination of glamor and camping, that is, living. in nature, but in comfortable conditions, well-equipped tents or small wooden houses, like here. the idea

the glempink with ecopark belonged to a local entrepreneur, a passionate hunter and fisherman. and a few years ago, right in the middle of untouched nature reserve , a hospitable eco-village grew up. the houses are warm and cozy, the bathhouse is in the form of a spacious barrel or wooden gable. next to it is a barbecue area and everything you need to cook any catch, there are even airfields ready to receive helicopters and small planes, so if suddenly someone wants the opportunity to fly to fish in the moria wilderness, welcome, and you say, taite, taite, yes, we are well fed here too, this city is called the gateway to the north, a special, unique way of life has been preserved here, which is dictated by difficult climatic conditions, many people come to this city to see the famous polar lights. we are in arkhangelsk, friends! the most

important thing for a pomor is to be practical. what kind of wood is preferable for building a boat? the kind of wood that grows. and why did they add salt? in principle, our region was engaged in salt production, that's why they added it everywhere. my grandma adds salt to regular coffee, even to boiled salt, she says that it tastes better, and in our way. we wash the smelt, sprinkle it with a little salt, chop the onion and that too. we take some bread there and dip it, dip it, and how delicious it will be in the moskva way, delicious, delicious , friends, very delicious, delicious, the life of our own, the premiere, today on the first.

to mark them with a church. and when the famous orthodox preacher and spiritual writer john of kronshtat visited these places, he blessed the idea and even donated 100 rubles for it. at that time, this was a lot of money. thus , a modest log church with a bell tower arose on this site. this happened in 1896. but what is surprising is that in the more than 100 years that have passed since then, stormy, troubled, and stormy, the wooden structure has never burned down, has not been plundered by atheists, has not been... it is customary for all local pilgrims to visit church go and take a dip in the font of the holy spring in the name of the reverend seraphim
