the inhabitants of this city are incredibly lucky in the fall, along with the potato harvest. they raise ancient coins and ceramics from the ground, and the construction of the foundation of the house. perhaps sometimes accompanied by the presence of archaeologists. after all, this is happiness, there are full

gardens, and they dream of getting the amazing exhibits found in these places, the leading museums of europe often compare this place with vilnius, and it is also called the belarusian suzdal. although in the city center. today there are practically no skyscrapers and at first glance. he is more than humble. vladimir korotkevich i dedicated a whole book to it, and tourists are ready to come here even today. on foot , it's all mstislavle. welcome if you find yourself in this cozy town of the mogilev region, which is located near the russian border, be sure to visit the girl's mountain, the oldest settlement on the territory of mstislavl. they say a huge

amount of land. in just one night , girls in their aprons brought here. this was done during an enemy siege from here, the maiden mountain got its name, despite this, mstislavl is often compared with rome and only with a score of 6-7, the belarusian city is inferior to the european one. here is an explanation, if the eternal city stands on seven hills, then ours is on six. now we are on one of them , castle hill, as for the first inhabitants of this place, that is, information that they appeared on the territory of the present mstislavl. back in the tenth century, they occupied the high ground of the female mountain and poured it. here, a high defensive rampart was built, a wooden castle with many buildings and a temple were built, so the mountain turned into the center of the ancient city. a today, this place offers a splendid view of the mstislavs. in general, a trip to the castle hill. at present, the quest is still at the

foot. you will notice three monuments. the history of this is connected with an unknown knight who died in the battle of 1502, which took place on the river temple, here are the remains of the unknown defender of our city in 2013. igor alexandrovich marlyuk. the doctor of historical sciences made unique underwater excavations on erik vortex; he carried them out together with the marine pegasus divers club and during these excavations have been found, a unique armor, which has no equal in belarus, a cuirass has been perfectly preserved, bracers, the remains of chain mail. after the restoration, these armors went to the museum of the history of the city of mogilev city hall, and the remains of their owner are buried right here, a stone's throw from us, another

memorial sign was also installed. in honor of the warrior prince semyon ludin, the founder of the pustyn monastery. what is in the village of mstislavsky district? children are especially delighted with the mountain. as you understand, there are no trips to the burial places of knights until princes, and this animation can be ordered in advance by informing the local center for children's creativity. and then prince lugvin himself or the founder of the city, rostislav mstislavovich , will meet you and, as an honored guest, lead him through his possessions, the villagers will treat you to hot pancakes and delight you with groovy dances . for now, do not be surprised that at this time the castle hill is empty. it only turns into a medieval city for one day during the knight's festival, which attracts members of the club in a historical reconstruction, they arrange fights and storm the fortress in armor and with swords. it is definitely worth seeing

next to the lists tower. don is believed that at one time there was a similar one, though it was much higher than this. such towers existed on castle hill from the 12th to the 17th centuries. they burned down and were restored again, and in the 17th century the last such tower was erected, which was restored according to the images according to the drawings of our famous archaeologist. alekseeva inside this structure, the soldiers who led the defense from here were closed. if the enemy managed to break through the fortress walls today in peacetime, thank god this is not relevant, because an ethnographic exposition was placed in the walls of the tower. the tree of life was not chosen by chance. after all, wooden objects accompanied our ancestors all their lives. and those

that are in this exposition are by no means a reconstruction in that these objects were raised from this very land eloquently demonstrate an archaeological excavation fragment of a real historical city with buildings and 12th century streets. in all of belarus, similar ones can be seen only in brest and turev. there was an old forge here. here was the bridge on the bridge still lies stripes from sonya, as if waiting for the owner to fix them and move on a long journey, where the logs repeat the shape of the number 1, the third birch bark in belarus was found. in total, three of them were found in our country and two in our city, which indicates a high level of literacy. of our countrymen applauding by manually sorting out more than 600 cubic meters

archaeologists did their best on the earth, it is no coincidence that the castle hill and its environs will be dubbed by some archaeologists a little later. apparently, the time has come to get acquainted with the most important figure of the city, and therefore we go to the central square, spacious, everything is clean, everything is as it should be, only here is the main attribute of all belarusian regional centers, the monument. lenin is not here. as a matter of fact, it never existed. but on the pedestal , this one flaunts, well, a rather bold challenge, how it is connected and how i am arguing and i will try to figure it out. soviet power was. and she is a leader on a pedestal, as in other settlements there was no personality instead, much more

significant for the garage. this is the name of peter mstislavets, who was born in our city. he went to moscow and met. a printing house was founded there by fedorov, and they began to print liturgical books from 1563 to 1564. such liturgical books as the chapel of the apostle of the gospel, but the church declares them heretics, and they were forced to flee the grand duchy of lithuania, where they continued their activities in great regret. we do not know when pyotr mstislavets was born, when he died, but his work will survive the centuries. according to some reports, fedorov, just like the mstislavets from these glorious places, if

the information is confirmed, then it will be safe to say that book printing throughout russia arose largely thanks to the natives of mstislavshchina. monument to peter mstislavets installed on the main square in 2001 on the day of the celebration of the day of slavic writing in the city, it is not the only twenty minutes away. walking. there is another one erected 15 years earlier to it and we are heading the second monument stands not far from the oldest building in mstislavl, the church of st. michael the archangel, a building of the 17th century, which was later given to the orthodox, now the building is under restoration. unfortunately, it dragged on a little today for the whole city. there are hardly 25 catholics, which means the chances of restoring the shrine sadly tend to zero, but let us return to the revenger, who managed to conquer not only moscow russia, but also moscow where in 1564 and published

his first dated russian book apostle a. a year later, two more editions of the watchmaker saw color. it was moscow that gave him a ticket to the mstislavites on a long voyage. after he loudly announced to himself having created a new printing house for wine, the gospel was written, three chapels were printed in the so-called and vilenka font, which became the beginning of all gospel books in the future, more than one book will be created, therefore, according to the model. as soon as the speech came down sealing. you and i have a unique opportunity to see the prototype of the printing press that existed at that time, we are heading for the historical and archaeological museum, right at the entrance we are met by whoever you think is the same belarusian book printer. pyotr avenger. first, ink is taken and smeared. the roller

is typed for each letter on the machine. the sex position of the first hall is dedicated to the life of the pioneer printer and educator of time with us, unfortunately, a little, so we move on to go around all the halls of the museum, it is obvious that at one time pottery flourished in mstislavl; bareheads. it is presented in the form in which the 20th century found it. and here you can also look at parts of the retinue, which and a photo of two jewish strongmen who once

acted in the city as a reminder of two free pharmacies, that is, private apothecary utensils of the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries. and it seems to me that modern marketers should visit here. after all, no one denies the positions of advertising drugs of that time that the new is well forgotten. in the meantime, i hasten to present to you the most sincere pride of the institution, kindly provided to the employees by the local whirlwind river, which from time to time throws up amazing finds for all these fishermen, this time a knight's helmet of the 15th century, and somehow the local men decided go fishing. but, what is the use of trifles with spinning rods once they threw a seine into the river, the seine came . with one duck. they threw two came with grass, they threw the river for the third time and were stunned in the river sand, they fell into their hands, the unique knight's helmet has not a single century that has lain at the bottom of the river and it is good that

conscious citizens were caught, not violating the law. and so positions today this helmet. at any cost, the largest museums in europe dream of getting it, because the analogues that they have can be counted on the fingers of one hand it is noteworthy that until recently a helmet of this type was the only one in belarus . we hope new finds are not far off. we are heading to the peace park, there is an alley of glory where the names of the heroes of the great patriotic war and socialist labor of the natives and residents of the mstislav region are immortalized, next to the monument to the first county commissar and chairman of the executive committee alexander yurchenko at the end of january 1918. the first congress of soviets of christian workers' and soldiers' deputies took place in mstislavl, which proclaimed the establishment of soviet power.

in the city and everywhere revolutionary transformations took place in conditions of acute struggle. the atmosphere was tense. not everyone was able to control themselves. yes, and the words were not always correctly heard by the opposite sides at one point, something went wrong and in a fierce battle with the contours of the revolution, alexander yurchenko died heroically for the establishment of soviet power. back in the soviet years, one of the streets of the city was named after the hero, and on his grave in the park of installations. flax is such a monument, contemporaries have nothing against the earth, after all. in xix century fires greatly undermined the economy. and in general life in the city. if you sound the numbers, then in 1858 more than 500 residential buildings burned down, and after 5 years the fire turned the ashes of all the trading rows. well, as they say, they extinguish a fire with water, but they will prevent it with their mind, and therefore

one of the first provinces was created in the city. free fire society and erected a corresponding structure. this is the fire tower. since then, it has been standing. the tower was restored in 2016. it regularly hosts exhibitions of fire topics on the fastock on open and people can climb to the observation deck. the windows are boarded up solely to prevent excess moisture and protect from pigeons, but at one time the tower. it was of strategic importance for the city since 1890, a fireman was on duty around the clock on the tower in order to notice a fire or other disaster in time and inform the order. and from a height of more than twenty meters, one could even see what was happening. outside the city, this also argues for the location of towers in the center of the settlement. since then a lot revenge has changed, but the truth is, don't mess with fire at the gene level.
