and neris, a length of 510 km, the belarusian cities of vileika and smorgon, lithuanian vilnius and kaunas, are located on it at the beginning of the 19th century, about 2,000 were melted down the river annually, platov viliya, the mother of our pure springs, her appearance is bright and the golden bottom is how the polish poet adam mickiewicz wrote about the river, who was born and lived on the territory of modern belarus on the right bank of the river. willy arose a city called vileyka while we were getting to the historical center of the city in the heavenly office, we decided to create some difficulties for our filming group, but we know that nature has no bad weather. small relatively young, but with a rich history, it was first

mentioned in 1460. the value was part of the polotsk principality of the grand duchy of lithuania and the russian empire. once the city was famous for river navigation, but after the construction of the vileika reservoir. the river became shallow, it was the close location to it that had a positive effect on the economy and economy of the town, originally the town consisted of only one street. it branched out at the confluence flight reminded. the area of ​​the so-called city center in the first decades of the 19th century, developed a new ticket project increased the area and building density. freedom square here beat hearts on the spot. chapels a long time ago there was a wooden church, illuminated in honor of st. george the victorious, the first street departed from it, which was called from the

church to the courtyard. the area has a triangular shape in belarus, there are only two of them in baranovichi and the fork. most of the modern great buildings appeared in the late 19th early 20th century. now the main square the central one on it rises one of the most beautiful catholic churches in belarus, the biblical, exaltation of the cross church. until 1913, there was no catholic church in the velika. although attempts to build a church in the city were made more than once and only in 1905 , when nicholas ii declared freedom of religion among the inhabitants of vileyka. hope arose again for the appearance of the church. the initiator of the construction of the temple, the landowner

alexander lubansky, set the conditions for the church to appear only when a wealthy industrial enterprise starts working in the city nobleman in the shortest possible time, developed a project for a sawmill. a year later, he was already working. here is an example of purposefulness. then alexander lubonsky created a committee, which included many wealthy landowners of greatness for the construction of the temple, they chose the belinsky architect of german origin august klein, in 1913, completed the construction of the exaltation of the holy cross. today, the church keeps a letter personally from the head of the catholic church, local resident jadwiga pasternak, with words of gratitude for what the woman did for the church in stories. this is the first message that was sent in the belarusian language on behalf of pope francis. a mysterious story is connected

with the fresco of the carrying of the cross, that on the facade of the church they say it was painted over with blue paint during the soviet era, and the silhouette of jesus christ still showed through it, this phenomenon can be interpreted in different ways . and another secret of the century is the assumption that the catholic building should have had two towers. why they didn’t build the second one, perhaps because of the events that took place in the 20th century, or at the last moment they simply changed the project. even with one tower, the church is the tallest building. in the city, an orthodox church is adjacent to it, bearing the name of the holy reverend mary of egypt, it was built in honor of the russian soldiers-liberators immediately after the suppression of the uprising. kostus kolyanovsky 154 years ago, the temple is considered the oldest around the district and its doors for

parishioners were not closed for a single day of the city ; juncker donated 11,500 rubles. silver on erection in the northwestern edge of the church. if you are well versed in architecture, you will immediately understand the temple of st. mary of egypt, a typical church, an ant. paradox apollo redkin initiated the construction of the temple in order to preserve the memory of the dead, and the engraving image is still woven with contradictions in order to eradicate the harmful polish influence. the well-known professor of historical painting mikhail vasiliev painted the shrine. pay attention to the tower

clock. they are not at all characteristic of orthodox architecture; money for them collected by parishioners. although they were originally planned, we couldn’t get inside as an element of decor. the temple is being repaired, by the way, the only one in the country named after the associate of mary of egypt, the former harlot achieved holiness thanks to fasting and prayer. she lived in the desert for 47 years, 17 of them eating only three loaves of bread. it is known that mary of egypt was not touched by wild animals, she could walk both on water and on land, she foresaw the future and knew the holy scriptures although she never read books. and we continue to explore the central square of the city and in front of us. they are just decorations. a symbol of the unity of peoples. tree

of friendship, next to it are the emblems of the cities of the twin cities near the vileyka. there are 12 of them. look at the traditional wedding tree on the friendship tree. gel of love , the newlyweds are sent here straight from the registry office on may 25, 1945, the vileika registry office married peter masherov at that time, the leader of soviet belarus was 26 years old to his bride lena 28. here the great was born their first daughter natalya only after 9 years old, polina took her husband's surname. together they went underground, fought in the partisan detachment in love and understanding, the couple lived until the very death of the hero of the soviet union and the hero of socialist labor. perhaps it was in

vileyka that the strongest marriages were made. let's hope that since then the statistics have not changed much, by the way, the vileika registry office has an archive of documents for the last 85 years, it contains church costume books from the thirties of the xx century. and how many more interesting things we have to meet on this earth, we are heading to the street on may 1 to see the first stone building of the city? it looks like an unremarkable building of the late 19th early 20th century. in fact, its walls remember many human dramas and tragedies - this is the building of the vileika prison. among the prisoners are writers and poets, historians, philosophers, political composers, priests and even the rector of

belinsky university. there is information that it was here in the prison walls that the poet valentin tavlay began to write the famous poem we are optimists. unfortunately, optimism did not manage to save most of the prison guards. existed in vileyka for more than a hundred years. the prisoners of war were subscribers, they were partisans. these were also people who came here for various reasons, mass executions were carried out near the walls, prisons and burials here on the same territory. when in the nineties, excavations were carried out here, and the cases were exhumed. and he was buried in the billy cemetery. today the building is not in use, and the energy is here, as you understand it, so we will not linger in this place for a long time, we are moving along the route. we are a little away from

the oldest street in vileyka is soviet lane school, which is from the beginning of the 20th century, has never changed its name. you will understand that it has been preserved, and life in this microdistrict still beats with a shoulder. especially in the courtyard of house number 11, from the windows of this conspicuous two-story building, you can see the sandy bank of the bili river . already after the first world war, in the thirties, vladislav starzhiminsky came here to work as an art teacher he was born in the city of minsk, here he is. he is working on his new direction of munism, and he has a series of works by western belarus which he creates. he is in our city of vileyka .

vilnius who came with their families, then the question arose of housing for teachers built a house in the art nouveau style. spacious rooms, large windows, high ceilings in those days, such housing was considered an elite typical polish building. during the years of occupation the building of the former gymnasium was used as a gendarmerium, so it can be assumed who occupied housing in this house after the victory. everything returned to normal, a russian secondary school was opened, and the teachers again became the owners of the apartments. unfortunately, the building of the gymnasium has not been well preserved, but the traditions continue here. the center for children's education of youth children, where young talents comprehend the awareness of arts and crafts and nanotechnologies, was registered here. want to be healthy and

feel good. know the closest to me breathing exercise. the fact is that i am a little familiar with them and even practiced them for myself to look at familiar things from a medical point of view. what to do when you are on edge, let's imagine that this feeling of anxiety we have is a flower? yes? here, we cherish like this, we feed every time, and to find out the answers to the most interesting questions about my health, i have a sedentary job and periodically, i stretch my neck so that it doesn’t get numb. how to properly stretch your neck. the first rule is regularity, every 40 minutes. you are doing exercises. and then they will be useful and will benefit you snezhana is sure. you know about such a myth that if i wash my hair often, my hair will get greasy faster, in fact, it is important to wash my hair properly , watch the program it's great

to be healthy on the tv channel, belarus 24, their work is not easy, we work around the clock, then there is a complete disconnect from the production process from work, probably somewhere does not work on the flight. this means that it is now under the responsibility of the airline. every day they have to face different tasks, and sometimes very non-standard ones. they come up with the idea of ​​taking the most unusual things on a trip, what happened was a vessel of south africa with liquid nitrogen that smoked right at the airport, all the characters are completely different, what they have in common is the desire to achieve the best result we are an export company. uh, 85% of our

products are exported and only 15% are in our domestic marketers and our desire is to provide a good service to transfer passengers with maximum safety and comfortable. watch project one day on our tv channel. picturesque landscapes, clean air and the rustle of leaves, some trees are more than 100 years old, according to an old legend, the very first one was planted in the presence of empress catherine ii . today, the vileika city park has all the conditions for recreation, including an active center with a view of the video different muscle groups, however, something tells me that in such weather, adherents of

a healthy lifestyle go to the gym. nearby is the world of folk tales it is impossible to pass by. i can imagine what emotions these characters evoke in children. katya for a cat, a cat for a bug, a bug for a granddaughter , a granddaughter for a grandmother, a grandmother, for a grandfather, a baby, we pull and pull for a turnip and oh, no, but we can’t pull it out. sculptures in the park at every turn, the author of this minsk sculptor alexander shomov is a monument to the mother, it is interesting the image of an abstract woman, or the sculptor thus decided to perpetuate the memory of his mother. the history of the park is deeply rooted in the 18th century and, like any

place, it has its own legends and tales. they say that a ghost walks in the park on a full moon. this is supposedly the ghost of one of the local residents, who carefully kept a bronze amulet all his life, happiness and prosperity, his house burned down, the thing disappeared, so the shadow periodically returns from the past and looks for a lost religion, i believe that the inhabitants of vesna would find happiness and health for many years. so at night it is better not to walk in the park. little whether that? and we can see one more female image in the distance, it looks like the danish mermaid, but it's not like that. just meet bilyana, according to legend the girl was engaged to alcohol by stepan, he was such a hard worker that he even worked on church holidays and for this he was turned into a

stone of linen, she saw her lover and cried, and a stream and tears began to break through the earth, which then turned into a full-flowing filio river. therefore, it is a mistake to believe that the name of the city appeared thanks to her, the culprit of everything, she is a local resident of william. and right now we are on our way to the local museum of local lore. exposition of the great patriotic war through the prism of time, the heroic and tragic past of the city in personal belongings in documents and photographs a separate stand is dedicated to the liberation of vileyka here are photographs of the liberators one of them aziya aslanov twice hero of the soviet union monuments to him are installed in front of the building, the

former polish gymnasium was the only one in the city kept. here, his own photography studio, a pharmacy, later organized a drama circle, which staged performances in support of poor children. on this back of the berka berman was written by an atelier for enlarging portraits, as well as a pharmacy store in vereya uyezd, that is, a characteristic localization of the place in order for the visitor who needs to take a photo. so he could turn to the same lose and order a photograph from himself. i think you noticed that the uniqueness of the museum is not only in the collected exhibits. here you can touch them. one two three such

photo units were used in the sixties in most photo studios. i can assume that berka had a similar one berman, this city for many years. in one way or another, rare things, legendary cameras, were associated with photography. zenit in 1973 great great system two buildings of the city-forming enterprise purchased equipment from germany and hungary, the czech republic and italy manufactured assembly lines. about 6,000 people worked at the plant. many residents of vileiki chose this city precisely because of the employment opportunities. already 20 years later, the company exported 150,000 cameras to latin america, the production of popular dslrs, reached 25,000 per month, the city

was at the zenith of glory for a long time. the time of film cameras has long passed, but until now, many with nostalgia remember exactly those old winter themes, the legendary factory is still working and an entire microdistrict is named after him in the bike. but the museum was relatively young, founded in 1982, but despite its age, it has collected a large collection of very rare items, more than 25,000 exhibits. and we are heading to the village of izbivna along the district house of crafts, where for many years there has been a museum, in which not so there are many exhibits, but this makes them no less unique. as a rule, we are used to

counting eggs in dozens, but here there are more than 5 hundred of them with portraits and landscapes ornaments. this is the first egg museum in belarus. i heard that there are similar ones in ukraine, germany, italy and russia. recently, another one appeared in our country . hand wax and an egg, this is how this design is getting closer, the more convenient it will be for you to work well, if i spoil something, you can fix it. no to unfortunately not, the main exhibit. museum song painted easter eggs. they say it has magical powers. each has its own drawing, consisting of individual characters. all you need is wax dye and a little imagination. i

draw the symbol of the sun from the sharp side of the egg. look, that is, once and so that it is the same, i immediately turn the eggs over. for a song, our ancestors used eggs only young hens, and they took water from holy springs, they paint eggs in a good mood with bright thoughts and good feelings, so that charge the song for a positive result. this is a sacrament ritual. red is a color. happiness, health, and love, blue and blue is the color of the sky and health green is the color of nature's renewal. after a winter sleep, they say easter eggs should never be sold, only given as gifts, people believed that it gives hope for marriage and a good harvest opens the heart for love. well, we honestly can safely say that we sincerely fell in love with the size

in the end, we are returning to that place. where started traveling? this time it is crowded, locals and tourists traditionally meet poseidon once a year with a bewitching spectacle. we were lucky with the arrival of the ruler of the seas on these lands, the weather cleared up. we have another opportunity to enjoy the local beauties. i know for sure that our film crew will carefully preserve the memory of this city and the beautiful influence of tears, which still flow through the belarusian and lithuanian lands. come and

discover these places for yourself. golden chock, the most beautiful bird in europe

belongs to the churkov family of the coraciiformes order , there are 28 species in total, 18 of which live in africa, but in general, the range covers both europe and asia and the middle east in belarus, for unknown reasons, the bird prefers the gomel region , about 70% of the registration was recorded exactly there, it certainly occurs in other regions country, but outside the designated area is distributed unevenly. the pike loves solitude and avoids noisy spaces, so it arranges its burrows on high steep banks, as well as in sandy or gravel quarries. immediately side by side at a distance of 45 cm. neighbors of the bird live in flocks, consisting of family pairs of their chicks and bachelors who have joined them, the flock, in turn, forms small clans, and those are already colonies of up to several hundred

individuals and although returning to the south, the bird, as a rule , are divided into pairs of the collective spirit do not lose. if, for example, one couple had trouble. the rest of the concerned will fly around expressing condolences or concern. chock golden, she is european. it is one of the few birds which has a rather strange food addiction to hunt mainly bees, wasps and hornets. that even extreme from that and the nickname was given to the corresponding person. - scrofula and jaundice are also her names, the bird is enough, motley in size, gracefully built and brightly colored. so to speak 28 cm. glamor not from the body blue wings and tail green back and top of the chestnut head, brown with bright yellow stripes, neck, yellow on the head

there is a cap. today, the number of this beauty on the territory of belarus is about 200-400 pairs, and therefore the golden chocks of the bird are listed in the red book for legs if they form pairs, then for life, but no matter how strange it may sound during the mating season, a third often joins the spouses to say that the extra is not entirely true. after all , when the offspring appears. this young bird will be an excellent nanny for him. during courtship, the males show themselves in all their glory, carefully catching the most delicious insects they bring to the females with all their behavior. making it clear that they will be worthy fathers and will be able to feed the family, however, the male can count on reciprocity only after a few gifts. as for the diet of a bird, it is worth saying that its daily food requirement is equal to its own weight, and

this is about 40 g it feeds exclusively on insects that are caught on the fly, dragonflies, mosquitoes, butterflies and ground beetles, but it happens that it also picks up crawling on the ground, don’t say it, but most of all, bees still like it one way or another, having sharp eyesight, the bird is able to notice its prey at a distance of 100 m and instantly rush for her in pursuit of small prey man. on the go , he swallows with larger specimens and moroki arranges a real culinary ritual by catching a large insect by hitting the ground or bird branches. first he kills him, then they break off the wings of the beetles, and crushes the sting of the bees and only then , during this procedure, he closes his eyes to regale himself so that i don’t get hit. in connection with the rather active activity of bee-eaters near apiaries, in a number of countries there are officially adopted recommendations

for the destruction of the nests of these birds. that's how the cruel measures of hospitable belarus are only happy if such a bird, created only for a beauty contest, will continue to please the eyes of people with its outstanding appearance.
