to a worthy strong opponent who want to be rightfully the world and european champion, i voiced all the violations of the human rights of the athlete's rights, but the violation of the hmm charter. e olympic is that sport should remain outside of politics, that is, the mission of sport is to unite, not to divide. if you urgently need a rest, you need to switch, and the mini-tour is still far from the vacation is what you need. welcome to the city with a thousand-year history, as the local press assures - this is the pearl of western belarus . the castle was inhabited by white ladies and the black monk,

who guard the castle from uninvited bones. it feels like i'm in a real salt cave, although actually. here everything is done in order to achieve such an effect, we will introduce you to local entertainment and attractions. dolls began to be made somewhere from the age of 3 and by the age when the girl got married and there should have been about 400 dolls in the collection. watch in the program the route was built on the tv channel belarus 24. 5 the story of his life is a wonderful motivational he took place as an athlete coach and head of the sports

chronicle, his achievements in his youth will forever be included, and probably everyone who is at least a little interested in sports knows the three olympic gold medals, and the nuances of a sports career such as the legendary winning throws on a carpet of 200 kg of an american, i hope very soon they will become episodes of a feature film in a decade of frames, chronicles. with the participation of a bear, it seems that they have already been looked into holes, but our young correspondent alexander voronovich. received the task is to find out hitherto unknown facts about the life of alexander vasilyevich. evaluate whether the wrestlers who are close to alexander medveditsa, the three-time olympic champion, the best wrestler, have managed to do it first of all. housewarming in the history of sports is a strength, perhaps perseverance or talent is certainly not without it, but they immediately say that oksan vasilyevich has a very subtle sense of humor, which he can, let's say

seriously, so to speak, that only close people who are his knows understand. this humor is very unrestricted, very ironic and such. i would say that he is a man without corners, he does not really like conflicts, even if it concerns some kind of verbal skirmishes, alexander medvedev had a tremendous impact on both of these men. it can be said that he was their companion in the world of big-time sports, for example karelin. after the first successes , it was our legendary belarusian who motivated us to move on. but most importantly, a personal story, that we have a run of 30 years and 3 days with him. he has a 16th birthday. i have a nineteenth only in 30 years. it's 3 days and also september and i i understand that this is not just a coincidence. and of course, when i assumed that my mentor mikhailovich kuznetsov had achieved something, he once told me, but you’ll think that three times olympic

winners will tell you now. the first of the fighters, alexander medved, i felt ashamed. i began to reach out to catch up with lim, and for lima, the meeting with alexander vasilyevich became almost fatal; it was in ninety- nine. i was 16 years old. i have already fought for the championship of the republic of belarus in greco-roman wrestling. he came to town mozyr as an honored guest, and i won then. uh, this is the championship and he called me to him and imagine my state, the bear himself called me to him, he is sitting. uh, in the box of honored guests. i go to him on trembling legs, then he wonders what he wants from me, so he came up. he planted. he says sit down. where are you from? i say, well, i came from dagestan . how old are you? i say 16. he says i like you. you go to freestyle wrestling. i heard he was engaged in barrel wrestling. i say, well, yes, the foundation i have freestyle wrestling. let's

you will join me for freestyle wrestling, that is, just like that, the circle of friends suggested that i move to minsk at that time. for alexander medvedev, a vivid example of this is not limited to wrestling, four-time olympic champion alexander tikhonov recalls how in the sixty-sixth year in the final of the ussr championship he, nineteen-year-old, shakes hands with a bear. since then, their strong friendship began, and i remember such moments when he entered the gym. he came in modestly, you can't take that away from him. he modestly entered, and suddenly the hall was a bear bear and the whole hall i got up happy man that i know him and be friends with him. he has been speaking for over 50 years. he was both as a coach and as a leader he was a worthy example for all subsequent generations. this decoration of belarus, the decoration of the soviet union, his technique of his smile could be the envy

of any athlete of any sport. and it doesn't matter that i'm a biathlete. here i am a happy person that i am friends to this day, it is clear that it is not permissible to be constantly open and sociable. a luxury for an athlete. especially such a class from a professional point of view view alexander medvede describes the champion of munich 72 in artistic gymnastics. antonina koshel gave himself. only now, the fight meeting with us, communication, it was kam already an athlete, who is of such a class, who is set to win, he closes in on himself. he only thinks like this, how, uh, and what to do, and how are you holding up, and how to sleep, and how, uh, not to get sick? there are so many factors to come here. eh, before that, not everyone is given. uh, before these even you know there are athletes when well, they give up there came to the olympics and already proud that he's already there, but you haven't

done anything yet. you must why did you come? and what you have laid down here, then he succeeded in doing everything. he is the hero of our road to sports. the bear opened not only men, and to this day the tournament in his honor continues to show the world new talents, literally the other day in minsk the fifty-first traditional grand prix ended, the best wrestlers of russia, uzbekistan, kyrgyzstan , kazakhstan, arrived in the capital, there we find four-time winner of the world championships vasilisa marzalyuk, who once started her journey at this tournament, but for me alexander vasilyevich is the person who discovered the sport, because the most, uh, my first uh, brightest competitions. it was a bear tournament, uh, and he rewarded me when i became the champion and said very nice words. and somehow at that time i was so motivated to continue wrestling. now our athletes can not compete in the international arena, and before

the olympics there are less than two years left in the know. led by the chairman of the federation the other day the congress ended. e, which took place in belgrade and our question was raised there, maybe they will consider questions about letting us into the international arena under the flag of the international wrestling federation. that's without the anthem. all this is now being discussed behind the scenes - it is we who will continue to participate in this discussion. well, well, we just have to wait. for our part, we are doing our best. eh, that's all we need. now. the world championship is also taking place in serbia, olim, selimov watched the performances and paid attention to those on the podium. he believes that belarusians be there. they would take these medals, according to the functionary chairman of the wrestling federation from other countries, it is very profitable and convenient to increase the rating of their cutlets due to the absence of belarusians and russians at the championships. it's good to

have a choice even in such a monotonous activity as running, it's no secret that its monotony scares off many people who would like to take care of their health with their appearance, however, since the adventure racing federation appeared in the country, excuses are not accepted on weekends can was to compete at one or several distances. day or night, we run or bike alone or with children without training, the participants aimed at the top five of those who kept their shape after the minsk half marathon ran 42 km, elena gorelchik expressed respect for the endurance of the guys who did it in 2 days 80 km. they try to come to such events, including families, while adults have fun on matte off-road tens of kilometers, and not only on bicycles, but also on a run,

children also do not mind following their parents. slightly lost to cyclists in terms of quantity, but not in terms of variety of starts, food points worked throughout the distance, and those who ran 42-21 or even 80 km, although in 2 days they could replenish their strength at will, but the participants of the jelly mile, despite for the shortest distance in kilometers 600 m, pour a glass of jelly into yourself, on each of the four circles. i had to be a climber and i run, when i can’t go to the mountains, unfortunately, the bike is no longer pleasant, i already run a little aged, therefore large, but better lighter. it is a very traumatic

sport and after running there is a lot left and, in principle, cyclists have visited and now visit minsk half marathons, they are all toxic. in general, i participate in the triathlon all the time every year and they just try everything, the seekers of night adventures went to the distance with the onset of twilight nobody. in the end, of course, i didn’t get lost, and in order not to get lost in all the variety of adventures offered , these wonderful questions answered all the exciting questions . girls. it seems to me that a very important moment of overcoming oneself, because the majority, uh, is not fighting for the first place. and for some of your abilities to understand where yours is where your limit is. seek to overcome it. and this is the joy of what you could. here she is very cool. well, then it's beautiful, that is, uh distance, as in general, belarus is beautiful. well , when you go, even 80 km, it is clear that you

are a lot of things. you see, as a rule, such distances are laid. well looking for routes specially in beautiful places safety, especially for cyclists here at together without a receipt for a helmet and a first aid kit. at the start, no one will let you out in the first aid kit, there should be a bandage for anesthetic hydrogen peroxide or iodine, this is the minimum set. well, if someone has some peculiarities, then he is already responsible for himself, so that the adventures take place at the maximum extreme level and certainly remain in the memory. for a long time the route led the multi-day trip was prepared with all the consequences. we had a favorite route, it was called the lunar mountains. and since there are no mountains in belarus, otherwise everyone has a question at once. why lunar? well, because they are small, like holes, but still mountains and a total set of one and a half kilometers at a distance of, let's say, 85 km. this sounds very scary. uh, it's practically a mountain marathon, by the way, extra endurance cyclists opted for a

two-day marathon. during this time, they had to drive a choice of 160 or 80 km. not just for fun to ride without uh. with uh some kind of competitive hype, just take a ride. i love trips like this, different calories, it helps to lose weight. in general, the tone for the body is very good. that there i felt. i liked this year. well, i'm not going to give up. i'll keep going, it's a way of life. let's just say it is a daily fitness and part of the training process. and it's a matter of habit. in general, cyclists are very cultured people among themselves. they always find some topics for communication, some common hobbies and common routes, they are most pleased not all the participants of the two-day adventure came here for the results, minus all, without exception , for excellent leisure and impressions. it's all

today arena will be live in a week. see you. get ready tv channel belarus 24 opens a new tv season don't like this story. and this means that new releases are waiting for you, your favorite programs are very mi-mi-bear even more interesting news. will global electricity prices rise? how do you feel in belarus in a constant alternating tension and all this is so that you stay up to date with the most interesting variety of cultural programs and remember to be cultured. it fashionable favorite movies series and original

projects. it was very cool. be with belorus 24 in the new season. like most of the ancient cities of eastern europe, vitebsk arose at the confluence of the two rivers of the western dvina and the witch, according to legend, it was founded by princess olga . in the late vitebsk chronicle of the 18th century , it is said that in the summer of 974 olga, having defeated the yotvingians and pechenegs, crossed the dvina river and spent the night in her own way, she liked the mountain, and she founded a wooden castle, naming it from the river. witches of vitebsk sounds beautiful, but there are numerous inconsistencies, the official date of the death of the princess dates back to 969 on the other hand. all early dates are very conditional, plus everything is a meal to

letse. he could well have made a mistake, however , to unravel all the secrets of the great city. it is hardly possible, but it is quite possible to lift the veil over some of them. from what place would you advise us to start our journey around the city with this question, i turned to the old-timers of vitebsk and all of them, as if by agreement, called the church of the annunciation resurrected from the ruins. it's like here they say that the most prayerful place in the city is the nature of the building of the temple for belarus , unique dolomite blocks alternate with two or three rows of flint bricks of the byzantine model, while infa in translation means flat, especially in brick in

that when it was thrown, it did not crumble like a modern brick, but only the gumka rang the secret of its strength has not yet been unraveled, if we go inside the temple, the staircase leading. we will not see the thickness of the walls, the most unique situation for the territory of eastern europe allowed the ancient architects to hide it. completely different parishes are located at a distance of literally 10 m from each other. church of the annunciation and the church of alexander nevsky church of the annunciation. withstood a lot throughout its centuries-old history. it was rebuilt, then again took on its original appearance. survived many wars, but most of all he suffered in god-fighting times. khrushchev’s temple, they ordered to dismantle it, they drove a bulldozer and tractors made of steel methodically hit the ancient walls, the moscow and st. petersburg intelligentsia intervened sergey

mikhalkov at that time he was the main editor of the satirical magazine wick, published a critical article, vitebsk thundered throughout the soviet union and the church of the annunciation was left alone, but by that time it was one third i wonder what the wise and far-sighted prince albert would say about this one popular unrest, the city from a small wooden town turned into a fortress, the territory of the principality doubled. it was one of the largest and most powerful blood of albert in the line, son and gaila, and today flows in the veins of all european monarchs, on his orders , ancient, vitebsk was surrounded by a stone wall around the perimeter, which was such watchtowers, the remains of one of them

have been preserved. where i will show later, but for now i see a landmark and i definitely will not miss this beauty. a unique creation of architecture is the holy resurrection church in the style of the late vilna baroque, if you look closely at the appearance of the temple, you can see a lot of interesting things because the baroque style, in fact, is a stylish tafar. what do you think they wanted to convey to posterity? architects in the language of stone, you see undulating lines on the temple. they talk about the amplitude of our life. we have not everything going smoothly under the line. true, after all, if ups and downs, but a figured pediment. doesn't remind you of anyone. take a closer look at a praying man standing on his knees, two openwork towers. hands raised to the sky with a plea for help, these views involuntarily open from the ground and take away infinity. well, back to the alberd and

watchtowers next stop dukhovskoy kruglik meet dukhovskoy kruglik defensive tower reconstruction 14 centuries of the time of albert gedominovich, let's look there, that we see the original foundation of a stone tower, i will repeat the 14th century and the remains of defensive walls. how well they built. here are portraits of prince albert and his wives ulyana of tverskaya and princess maria by igor durov my question of the day. why kruglik , if it looks much more like a square , it turned out that in the time of gerd the towers were octagonal, so from a distance they seemed round. well, let's go further, many vitebsk sights are within

walking distance? every city has its symbol of freedom near vitebsk is the city hall. the first city hall was built on this very spot 420 years ago ; the body of the building is made in the classical style, and the tower with baroque elements. at the very top is a weather vane in the form of a boat running on the waves of time. today in the town hall there is a regional museum of local lore with a huge number of unique exhibits, thanks to the old and rich funds. it has become a legendary place not only for tourist vitebsk, but also for the whole of belarus; the largest collections of numismatic items are amazing, and no wonder our country with a kind of safe in which one sign of different eras is stored in terms of the number of valuable finds, today belarus ranks first in europe. sometimes treasures were found

in completely unusual places, a local ornithologist discovered unique coins in the magpie's nest. in total, 38 treasures can be seen in vitebsk town hall. by the way, this is a silver splendor, weighs about 200 g. the neck hryvnia, for some reason, is twisted in a spiral in the form of a bracelet of presumably scandinavian origin from the swedish island of gotland. today we have already touched to the unique byzantine masonry of the church of the annunciation - this is a slab. got the museum. after the fatal explosion, which i already told you on a 12th century graffiti slab with a mysterious message from the architects from the past, we see the byzantine cross and the anchor of hope used by the first christian missionaries for the steadfastness of faith. and the icon of the virgin mary meets and escorts visitors to the town hall with

a two-meter coat of arms. vitebsk, the coat of arms of vitebsk was cast from bronze, there is practically nothing special in heraldry, nowhere in the world is it depicted the image of christ the savior in profile, and underneath is a bloody sword. why everything has its explanation in the sixteenth century, orthodox vitebsk became part of the commonwealth of the catholic state. with a secret intention, a coat of arms was granted in order to look right. the main ones turned towards the vatican to the west . christ is depicted in profile, a bloody sword symbolized the power of vitebsk castles. the expression of your words. yes, god's husband here acquire real meaning, anyone can whisper in the ear of the almighty their cherished desire. they warned us to the basement of the town hall, it’s better not to go into a mystical place, once upon a time there were interrogation rooms with

racks and other terrible devices for torture, but the opportunity to touch the unique masonry of the 16th century, the very first town halls built on this site was stronger than any warnings. our subtle natures felt absolutely nothing. but the cameraman's headphones gave out a twist and got stuck in the camera tripod. so much so that they had to be rescued from the iron captivity for half an hour. this is what the director says alexander metta in the basements of the town hall, he planned to shoot an episode of the film malevich was walking, the equipment was completely out of order, so we were still lucky. one of the brightest monuments of architecture, the holy assumption cathedral , the temple was built for more than 30 years, a long time due to an unexpected factor of groundwater. the monks had to

drain the old-timers of vitebsk from a generation. for generations, itching on the lips conveys a legend about underground passages in uspenskaya gora, leading to the other side of the western dvina no passage, this information has been repeatedly checked into the complex the cathedral once included this two-story building. it was built at the turn of the 18th-19th centuries, as a public school, later the alexander gymnasium for men was opened here. during the great patriotic war, the german sd service was located in this building. the basements of the vitebsk theological seminary are saturated with blood, unbearable pain, suffering, and at the same time the strength of the human spirit. and this is not an allegory - the prison of the secret field police performed the functions of the gestapa, hunger tortured screams. how terrible were the last days of life these people? trying to leave at least some

memory of themselves, the underground workers and civilians wrote or scratched out inscriptions on the walls, to be honest, the hair moves in orderly rows of horror for those who are trying to aestheticize fascism. in vitebsk, there are many places associated with the war, this is uspenskaya gorka, where the hero officers of the soviet army are buried, among them the leader of the partisan movement, the father. minai, literally a few meters from the memorial on the high left bank of the western dvina, the governor's palace rises a monument architecture of the xviii century, a combination of golden and white. tones give the building a solemn respectable look. july 16 it was through these doors that the emperor of france napoleon entered, entering, he

threw the cards on the floor and exclaimed the campaign of 812 was over in 1813. i will arrange lithuania and poland on august 1 without a horse, and in a carriage he urgently left in the direction of smolensk about which he later madly planted. more than once, at the invitation of the duke of the brother of dürtenberg, empress maria feodorovna , cavalryman nadezhda durova was the guests and at the balls she became the prototype of the shurochka from hussar ballad to the word madam, durova did not deign to dance. well, judge for yourself which party in dancing to perform for a lady in men's clothing. that's another question. but 100 years later, the local dance floor was blown up by the asedora. duncan and you recognize this house from the picture of chagall, there the lovers still fly over the city. today, the art center of an outstanding artist is located here.

an unusual monument to an unusual artist is a clock without the usual arrows and numbers, but with the wings of an angel, and indeed the angel himself touched the artist with his wing. marc chagall lived a long and happy life. he died in the flight of strength into the elevator to go up to the second floor and his heart was becoming. at the end of the century before last, this mansion was erected for his family by a prussian subject locksmith, x-ray is not bad for a locksmith, really. today it is the youngest walking museum in the world. here is the original graphic works of the great master. how do you feel when you look at these works? i feel extraordinary warmth. uh, love for life love for people, because i always walked propagandized precisely love and a series - this is the fifty-sixth year. very interesting in that

it begins. she is from the image of angels. we can see the biblical king david, who became famous for singing and composing psalms, so the walker always depicts david not only in the crown, but also from the harp of moses e, there is also a well-known biblical personality. we have a wonderful work called david and barcelona which we see king david and his most beloved woman, bosheva or versavia, and even an angel blesses them. simultaneously the educator of vitebsk, ivan ivanovich stoletinsky, a man of extraordinary erudition, was setting up a new life in art. he knew perfectly 16 languages ​​plus eight with a dictionary. in general, a unique personality annually in december in vitebsk hosts an international music festival named after him. the vitibland festival is like no other,

about 30 different cultural events are held annually in the city, this amazing city is imbued with the spirit of creativity, both citizens and tourists. everybody here they are charged with the energy of art. every city has its own vitebsk street artists, apparently they are talented 10 points of very cool graphics. such creativity will not leave anyone indifferent. chagall, he loved his city so much that in almost every work he depicted him in his first painting, mark zakharovich. he wrote, no, not on an easel, but on bags, where it was now i will show. after the collapse of the soviet union, chagall's house was residential; it should be noted that the street had a completely different name in honor of the guardian of the revolution dzerzhinsky when did you arrive in the city?
