but not about paris, but about you, about your smile, you are embarrassed and silent, listen, citizen nazarova, i am crucifying myself here in front of you, you can say my soul, opening it, you are silent, hello, hello. and i suspect that this is none of your business , i was informed about your antics with this section , if you don’t want to play, i don’t mind, but i received a signal about a cut, and here it seems to me that you’ve already played a little too much. evgeniy sanovich, this is my

life, i’m not going to play your games, you know, i can easily, very easily, ruin your life, and the life of a citizen nazarova, born in forty-four, native of the city of kovrov, is that enough? to somehow cool your ardor?

under the clap of white clouds, i saw many lighthouses, sometimes low, sometimes high, sometimes close, sometimes distant, well, this particular one, as you can see, is very... shaped and very reminiscent

of the installation at the los angeles museum of art , urban light, consisting of two hundred street lights, although there are less than about 50 of them here, but i’m not in the city of angels, on the shores of the pacific ocean, i’m almost 10 thousand kilometers to the east on the banks of one of the cleanest rivers europe and in the second honorary service in the city of belarus, gomel. where did the name of the city gomel come from? in fact, there are at least six possible answers to my question, but by analogy with other cities, minsk, polotsk, vitebsk, the version with a hydronym is the most obvious. the first

mention of gomel can be found in the ipatiev chronicle in 1142, 5 years earlier than the founding of moscow. and this, if we echo a very popular travel blogger, is the landing on the banks of the sosh river by a proto-hamelian in the company of a proto-weed, which has adorned the city’s coat of arms since the 18th century. and here, by the way, is another version of the origin of the name gomel. they say in the old days, people often floated rafts along the sosh river, raftsmen, warned each other about the danger, shouted, ho-ho, stranded, this is a pedestrian bridge over the sozh, on which you mean, you can’t walk with dogs if you walk further from the bridge , then you can see the difference in heights between the banks, gomel has its own river... port upstream,

the speed of the sosh river sometimes reaches one and a half meters per second, realize per second, that is, every second the sosh carries about 200 cubic meters water. hunting lodge in the concrete jungle of amir at the beginning of the 19th century. this city mansion was once the summer home of count nikolai rumyantsev, minister of foreign affairs and chancellor of the russian empire. today there is a museum of the history of gomel. let's take a look. throughout the history of its existence, gomel managed to be part of kievan rus, the grand duchy of lithuania, the polish-lithuanian commonwealth, the russian empire, the soviet union and the republic of belarus. today's belarusian regional center is divided into four districts - railway, novobeletsky, central and

soviet. and the snake in the city was divided by centuries of wounds. for more than 8 centuries, gomel has changed many owners. these were the chernigov princes, then the same igor svetoslavovich, the hero of the medieval bestseller, the word about igor’s campaign. among the owners of gomel were the grand dukes of lithuania, representatives of blue-blooded families such as the sapiehas, radivilovs, cherttaryskys, but it was with the rumyantsevs, followed by the paskeviches, that perhaps the brightest pages in the cultural history of the city are connected. here in the museum, which is a calling card. cities you can not only get acquainted from a to z with the centuries-old history of gomel, but literally touch it. tactile contact with the exhibits, believe me, gives more vivid and accurate impressions. the mini-exhibition traces of the dignity of glory also not

only tells about gomel contemporaries who made a significant contribution to the development of the city, but also allows you to say hello to them. palm of galina ivanovna. pavlino to the people's artist of belarus is quite small, in contrast to her great talent, the museum is small, but it has been created with love, i recommend, plus to everything, here you probably get exceptional photographs, an unusual gift for significant dates, by the way, about gifts, it is accepted in society that men should give gifts to women, but what do empresses care about stereotypes, so hardly the polish-lithuanian commonwealth prussia, austria and russia divided the honorable one, catherine ii presented her gift to the hero of the russian-turkish war, count pyotr rumyantsev of transdanubia, and not just some brooch medal on a ribbon, but the whole city of gomel, which, by the way, almost

25 years old, the count wrote off the inheritance to his son nikolai, he turned out to be an enviable groom. this is the same nikolai petrovich rumyantsev, the imperial chancellor or, as they now say, the prime minister of the russian empire. the rebirth of the city is associated with his name. the rumyantsev and paskevich palace was once considered an example of 16th-century architectural fashion in the style of russian palladianism. this style is based on borrowing the principles of classical temple architecture. ancient greece and rome, however, early classicism is easily discernible in the external decor. later, however, the palace rebuilt by an english architect. i’m in the columned hall, that is, on the main stage of the theater of parade life, late 16th century,

the ceiling here is two floors high. the hall is framed by 16 columns with kavinsky capitals. and in the niches. female sculptures are the art of allegory. the flow of life can be so beautiful because you see autumn, winter, spring and summer. at the second floor level there is an original marble balustrade. so how did gomel develop and change accordingly under the rumyantsevs and poskeviches? it developed very intensively during this period, he changed. the traditions that were laid by the rumyantsevs were continued under the paskeviches. nikolai petrovich rumyantsev was a very progressive person, and he invited talented people, people who understood, to implement his projects. during this period, the city became overgrown with stone buildings. previously

, it was mainly wooden, the houses were thatched, then it is used as a material for the construction of buildings, as nikolai petrovich called it, an eternal material, that is, stone. and various objects were built. social direction, these were schools built, this medical institutions, religious buildings were built, and of different faiths, continued the traditions of arranging the city. it is interesting that each owner of this estate can safely be called investors in the economic life of the tapestry, the city received an enviable lot, to grow in power and glory. in the field of mimecy , the wife of fyodor ivanovich poskevich, princess irinushka, stood out most of all, as the townspeople called the last owner of the palace and gomel, irina ivanovna paskevich. irina ivanovna paskevich was, as the count said. kremetyev was smart and kind good artistic taste, she

knew languages ​​perfectly, she translated into russian from the russian language, by the way, she is the first translator into french of tolstoy's novel war and peace. few people know, but even in the pre-revolutionary period, the halls of this palace were equipped according to museum canons, with a detailed annotation next to each item. from which one could learn a lot of interesting things, who presented this exhibit, when, on what occasion. the halls of the palace were decorated with paintings, sculptures and exquisite furniture. famous russian artist georgy lukomsky, visiting the palace in 1913, wrote: “this is one of the richest estates in the russian empire.” but even if i spend the whole day walking around the palace, i don’t care. you won’t have time to flip through the pages of the history of this amazing place.

of course, you can get around the gomel city park of culture and recreation named after lunacharsky, but it is better to stroll through it slowly. otherwise, as you will notice, mulberry and black pine, manchurian walnut and pyramidal poplar coexist here and coexist perfectly. supervised... the layout of the park the brilliant architect adam itskovsky, who, by the way, even developed the mazzalea project for emperor napoleon. but here count nikolai rumyantsev bequeathed to bury himself, and he himself initiated the construction of this majestic place. the twenty-five-meter cathedral of saints peter and paul is. part of the gomel palace and park ensemble and refers us to french culture.

some connoisseurs see in it similarities with the church of the parisian abbadge of st. geneviève, although the temple was built according to the design of the english architect john clark. not far from the classical cathedral there is a chapel tomb of the paskevich princes, built in the so-called neo-russian style. admire how complex the structure is. here , at a depth of more than 3 m, there is a burial place of eight members of the paskevich family and, first of all , ivan fedorovich himself with his wife elizaveta alekseevna, whose maiden name was griboedova, yes, yes, the cousin of that same one. and the son of general field marshal fyodor ivanovich founded the tomb to perpetuate the memory of his father. as you can see, i thereby killed two birds with one stone, and remained in people's memory. and as the first honorary citizen of the city of gomel.

by the way, prince fyodor paskevich was an avid dog lover and treated the burial of his favorites, lord and mark, with no less reverence. the funeral ceremony was so magnificent that few gomel residents received such a send-off in mirynaya. one of the most. the gomel palace and park ensemble has a winter garden, which is located in a sweet spot in the above-ground building of a former sugar factory. one step and i’m in the subtropics, i got there, of course, not in an instant, but also in a thousand i didn’t have to travel kilometers. and here is the tree of all winners, the laurel, worth touching. there are fish and rabbits on almost 250 square meters of area. pigs, who is this? well , hello, far eastern turtle, what is your

interesting nose? yes, yes, beautiful, beautiful, and this green plant paradise will allow you to consider 18 species of subtropical plants, the oldest of them is the violet palm, it was planted in 1888. this fountain has been delighting gomel residents since 1891. well, it’s time for me to return to the palace square, or rather bazaar, because that’s what she calls it. after the reconstruction carried out by the chancellor of the russian empire nikolai rumyantsev, the center of new gomel was made up of two elements: the palace ensemble square, the streets radiated from the square, they formed a

fan-shaped planning system, the only one of its kind in belarus. for 25 years, count rumyantsev built the city of his dreams, so it’s not for nothing that gomel is called the last city in history built by a private owner with his own money, the imperial chancellor tried to leave the best of the best in his beloved gomel what he saw in europe during his years of diplomatic service, and he succeeded. the current lenin square in gomel is very similar to the parisian square of concord, which is... this is the combination of urban space with the palace, and the fact that they are located on the same axis, plus the palace complex is almost the same as in france it is turned towards the square. the obelisk tower, which should anchor the center of the square, alas, has not survived, but we have lenin in the fir trees, and this is a powerful argument.

why do you think lenin is so harsh and so emotional? clutches a cap in his hands, local comedians explain this: right opposite, on the roof of the drama theater there is melpamene, the muse of tragedy, and so she has a tragedy, vladimir categorically refused to go with the goddess of the theater to the wedding crown. however, maybe the hour hasn’t struck yet. it’s not for nothing that the outline of the spasskaya tower can be seen on the theater pediment. in the park next to the square you will see a personality no less famous than the leader of the world proletariat, chrysostom , who shone above all others in russia, philosopher, preacher, poet and bishop, kiril of turov, holding in his hands a scroll with the text of a prayer, which i wrote myself. the historical buildings

of sovetskaya street are not even spoiled. modern signs, however, you only need to walk 700 meters and the architecture will change; nevertheless, gomel was destroyed by almost 80% during the great patriotic war, but the city has risen from the ruins and is striving for the future. the gomel branch of the national bank is located in a historical building and is used for its intended purpose, because it once housed a branch of the russian-asian bank, the largest in the russian empire. by the way, this was the first specialized banking bank in belarus. structure. they are devoted to their work, i feel for myself, at a certain level

of navat inakom, so, for me, a museum is a very important place, like a monastery. i'll get right to it. let’s take care of what is, first of all, dear to me, in another way, in my opinion, dear and important to other people, my childhood was spent in sailing, which grew into youth, well, it turns out that i ’ve been here for half a century in my favorite sport, ready to share knowledge, my name is sergey morozov, i am the senior coach of the national sailing team, i am the athletes related courses for one day in your life. an important element of the museum’s work is not only the protected material culture of the artifact, right? if the culture is intangible, then the side of the madelyavanne of folk sounds, abradau. and right now we can watch the stories. radial out of the wind. eight

segments of 2 minutes each. watch on the tv channel belarus 24. 100 brave guys gathered in our studio, each of them has a question for an adult, we are children, we can be wiser in some ways than adults, i think, and i don’t even doubt at all, how to get to the television, it’s very simple , you are not bad, i like the girl, tell me how i can confess my love to her without words, the hero of the program will have to open up to the audience, i met my husband at a sports competition. we have been living with him for 39 years, and what you liked about him , you didn’t like at first, we fought at school, including me, in kindergarten, i even think they separated us from corners. honestly answer all the original and sometimes awkward questions, politics is a dirty business, sometimes yes, unfortunately, your wife -

the president's press secretary, and you are a representative of the television company, which of you is more important, at work or at home, has anyone tried to take advantage of your acquaintance to resolve the issue regarding blato, look at the project 100 questions for adults on the tv channel: belarus 24, the word itself the museum already obliges a lot, but there is a place in gomel that will definitely interest the widest public, especially... in the era of digital cameras, multi-pixel cameras in mobile phones and widespread visual creativity. this is the work of a modern gomel photographer, and

there, the so-called minilab, today is a museum of photography, the operators are behind me, although i am not very knowledgeable about unique cameras, but i can appreciate rare photographs, this is one of them. the imprint of the kexholm regiment, which is more than a thousand military personnel. the photograph, measuring 42 x 94 cm, was made using the contact method in 1903, and only four such photographs are known in the world. and this, as i understand it , is a selfie zone, it’s a pity that i don’t have a selfie stick. whose. in the same building there is another very interesting and very young museum. in in the printing museum you can see press from the last 100 years and see ancient printing equipment. this, of course, in addition to photographs,

historical documents, even the most ordinary window is part of the exhibition. of course, i could try to type the author’s copy of the script with my hands using a font made of mirrored printed characters, but it will take a long time on these prestigious machines, after all , long live the progress of universal mobility, oh, computerization, however, you can write not only on a typewriter or on a sewing machine , but on a machine gun, as well as flying not only in a dream, but on it, on a helicopter, everything... can be found in the gomel regional museum of glory, let's run at least for a minute, but how can you manage to look at 35 pieces of military equipment in the open area of ​​the museum in a minute walk around the eight

exhibition halls on two floors of the building. the military history of the gomel region from ancient times to the present day is presented here as clearly as possible. using examples of both unique and reconstructed exhibits and documents. here you can get into partisan warfare. look into the sanitary tank carriage and even visit a pneumatic shooting range. oh, how lucky i was. a little further down the street there is another interesting museum, where people are allowed in without special permits , which are always required by law enforcement agencies, because it is there that you can find out in detail about interesting criminal cases of the past, although who would share such information with tourists? fortunately , there is now a forensic science museum in gomel. it’s unlikely that i’ll tell you anywhere else that the bright image of ostap bender, a hunter of other people ’s family diamonds, was actually written off

from a fraudster who was caught in gomel. yes, yes, the name of the eightieth level swindler was turgun khasanov. in the twenties of the last century, feel the scale, he presented himself in government institutions as the head of uzbekistan. whose money and documents were stolen along the way. a separate exhibition is dedicated to all kinds of fraud and their evolution. respectable citizens hardly saw all this with their own eyes. this is a bedside table, like a bedside table, at first glance , in reality, it is cooler than the fairy-tale casket in which the immortal koschei kept on the tip needles your life. there are as many as three caches hidden here. knife, sharpener and many other prohibited devices. hidden here.

magazines with piquant photographs, and here is a real moonshine still, kulebins, well, it’s getting colder, it’s time for us to warm up with a cup of aromatic coffee. wow, these colorful characters are definitely not from the 21st century. it’s impossible to pass by you, where are you from and where are you so non-standard or are you all like this in gomel? we have actually gathered here in this wonderful place, in general for in order to prepare for the festival, discuss our performances and generally just drink coffee. this is a

multi-fund festival of east asian and world culture. means that there can be anything you like, from dancing to all sorts of stage performances, did you prepare the costumes yourself? and yes, we came up with these particular costumes and prepared them ourselves, but in general people do things differently, they can choose costumes based on some source, for example, from a book or a film, or, for example, as an option, they can come up with an image like us and to perform in it, that is, complete freedom of action, for example, this is ray garden, the god of nature, and i am the god of blooming flowers, alista, we are always welcome. new company, new people, so be sure to come to us, thank you. yes, when you come to gomel you almost find yourself in another world, what an impression it is. today's gomel is a large industrial center and is widely known for its agricultural machinery. moreover, local combines fight for the harvest not only on real fields, they also work on farms in colombia, italy, united states, in computer

simulation games. the tapestry is also famous for its thermopolished sheet glass, which shines on high-rise buildings around the country, as well as furniture, wallpaper , chocolates from a local factory, and guess where the first football match was held on the territory of belarus, in gomel in 1910 . it was at this stadium that the belarusian football player, the absolute record holder of the belarusian championship in terms of goals scored, roman nikolaevich vasilyuk, scored his 150th anniversary goal; today he has scored more than 250 goals. the bomel region has rich traditions in sports; leonid geishtar and sergei makarenko opened the scoring and brought the first olympic gold medal to the city. gomel residents

have at their disposal. 533 sports facilities, including six stadiums, two arenas, an athletics icon, two universal seasonal skating rinks, 205 gyms , a water sports palace, an ice palace, 160 tennis courts and other sports facilities, this is a serious base for adequate training of athletes. gomel is rich in famous people, mikhail plesetsky, father of... the delightful ballerina maya, the great-grandfather of the hollywood star michael douglas was from these places, leonid utesov took his first steps to success here, and when the popular rapper seryoga sang that he grew up on the outskirts of a city worker, he meant precisely the outskirts of gomel. i won’t leave this interesting object unattended either;

it looks like it from a bird’s eye view. knows the spaceship, and the performances here are fantastic, this is the second stationary circus in belarus. according to the same project, circuses were built in six cities of the soviet union. union. in krasnodar, nikolaev, grozny, stavropol and zaporozhye. the city has its own puppet theater, but before heading to the ticket office, you can allow yourself to fool around and show your nose to that same buratin. smile at the bronze moth, but it’s time for me, i’m back on the embankment, mine , as you can see, is glowing, and i think this is a sign that i will definitely return to gomel, because i will still need to see the last one in belarus , karus, the forest institute.
