are, i’m from the pinsk region, the village of veshnya, i was born and lived there until i was 18, after graduating i went to brest to study at school, got married there, gave birth to children, and it so happened in life that we came to live in kobrin on an exchange in 1984, the desire to see my childhood home, the desire to have... my own home, did not leave me all the time my, as it were, this conscious adult life, when already the children grew up, we discussed this in the family, remembered how the grandmothers came, how they went there to fish at night, the life of this village, went to the neighboring grandmothers in the evening , brought milk, went into their houses, looked, this is a picture they have from childhood

on... remained in my soul, the moment came when i saw that it was already possible to make the dream come true, so my friends suggested that there was such a house in the name day village, we came, looked and settled on it, having our own experience, having our own talent, having construction sons' professions, we... we will restore this house the way we want, when in 2014 the construction of the house was already coming to an end, so to speak, to completion, which means we sat down, discussed it, decided that it was our dream, after all , where i lived, which did not happen, there was a chic modern house here, and the old farmstead of that one, nostalgia from

my childhood did not leave me alone, and so we decided to look for a suitable house to transfer it to recreate that life, precisely that of my childhood, we found such a house, my son went, looked and transported it one log at a time, i dismantled that house myself, then put it back together... in the end it turned out to be what we needed, there was a house, but anyway , we hadn’t seen the farmsteads of that time and even from childhood, little by little they decided again, we still needed a barn, and they suggested people, my son went and looked, and here he is, one log at a time, again taking up his, his work, that’s the dream...

it came true, it came true, of course, i bow to my children, i bow to them, that they supported my idea and soul invested in all this, in this barn there are objects of ancient household life, collected from all corners of belarus, well, in the brest region, that’s for sure, on the pediment, this is the roof, this is how they covered the roof, this is the harness for the shafts, they harnessed the oxen to such a harness, this is a cart, there are a lot of exhibits here

that, well, just don’t they remember what they were for, and we didn’t know why, when they brought them, the people’s son invited them, so many of them told what this was for, what that was for, and young people especially don’t know the current time, generation, they are interested, very interesting, of course, i invited me to the senior group of the kindergarten, which is located in name day, literally a little time has passed, parents and their children came to me here on an excursion, they came, there was a boy who came for the third time, and i said, oh my god, i recognized you, why are you doing it again, and he says, if they keep coming, i’ll come again, i like it so much, over time we got

a farm, a farmstead, the first goat we got was anfisa, we bought her as a little goat, raised her, and now we’ve had her for probably a year ... four assistants have already grown up, i have granddaughters, granddaughters, he often water comes, they bring the goats to the pasture to eat, feed them something tasty , grandmothers, take them and bring them, feed the mother or feed them, and there are mothers or two goats, her girls, here we have a goat, here is his prince, he is very cute, beautiful he has a bang, but he gets angry when you feed him, he’s good, yes, but as soon as you stop

giving him treats, he fences his fence with horns, he loves it if only he gets attention and people stand near him, we’ll move away, he’ll be right there ...chases and bangs into the gate, gradually it was necessary to revive this yard, the trees grew, the lake, so to speak, was stocked with fish, everything around was green, but there were no chickens or goats, so they built sheds, started a farm, and now we are like real villagers in such a old courtyard, now i can only rejoice and make people happy with all this, i have a lot

of national clothes, they are made of canvas, ornaments and fragments, these, which are on the blouse, in the real one, these are from fragments from old clothes, from worn, and i cut it out onto new fabric and made myself a blouse like this, a blouse, made a dress from canvas, in which i go to the farm, work in it, so... also , so to speak, by inheritance, i got this embroidered dress, such dresses, it means, were worn by girls when they got married, these are the suits, dresses, clothes of that time that are very close to me, this is a reminder of my childhood, my sister

also got married in such an embroidered dress, it’s very dear to me, this apron... it’s now, but it was a towel , i made myself such an apron that is dear to my soul, i have woven ones from those times threads made of canvas, tablecloths like these, there are many and varied of them, they are also tied with a twist, with a canvas thread, decorated very beautifully, the younger generation, they have not seen or known, something when you show it, everyone is so surprised, they say, we know, that at that time people were completely illiterate, and what masterpieces were there? how they wove, take this skirt from the dyvensky system, look at

the pattern here, when our dream began to come true, and we already saw the end result of our work, it was already clear to me that i know absolutely nothing about this village, since i wasn’t born here, and somehow i thought, yeah, here i am tatyana nikolaevna baranskoy. it was our village librarian who contacted me, she got me so much information, i copied it for myself and i know, at least in the first mentions , the name day village has been listed since 1519, in 2019 there was 500 years of the village, i have , so to speak, girlfriends here grandmothers, feodosia afanasyevna, 91 years old this year, she told a lot about
