kondraty ivanovich naumov august 22, 1944 aged. at the age of 26 he received the high

title of hero of the soviet union, for courage, bravery and heroism shown in battles with the nazi invaders. the commander of the tank battalions, captain naumov, distinguished himself in the pabrui operation. for several days, in june 1944, in the battle for railway station with four tanks,

the battalion commander was evacuated to the hospital, but he could not be saved. in addition to the title of hero of the soviet union, kondrati naumov was awarded the order of lenin, the order of the patriotic war , second degree, and medals posthumously. today i found myself in the southeast of the vitebsk region, in a city that stands on the banks of the mighty dnieper river, in a city of centuries-old oak trees. have you guessed, friends, where i am? today i am building

my route through the picturesque city of dubrovna. today on the program. i know why dubrovna was called the watchmaking capital of the russian empire. i’ll make a unique whistle toy, find out what secrets the former bernardine monastery holds, and try an unusual horned loaf. the path to dubrovna from the capital is not close, the journey by car through orsha will take about 3 hours, the second option is to take the train to orsha and from there take a minibus to dubrovna, the total fare will be about 12 rubles.

the fate of the dubroven region is inextricably linked with the life of great states. at one time, these lands were part of the grand duchy of lithuania. your mark in the dubrovinsky region the polish-lithuanian commonwealth also left. but the russian state played a key role in the development of the city. in 1780, prince grigory potemkin bought the dubrovinsky lands. and thanks to him, one of the first watch factories in russia begins to operate here. the city receives a second unofficial name: the watch capital of the russian empire. in 2018, in honor of the 625th anniversary of dubrov. a clock tower was erected in the central square to show respect for the history of the city. in the 18th century, potemkin bought the dubrovinsky engraving on the territory of dubrovna and organized it with the help of a talented swiss inventor peter northstein,

watch production in dubrovna. clocks were produced in different denominations; there were mantelpieces, tabletops, and floor clocks. watches, but mainly produced, or as we would say now, specialized in the production of pocket watches. the factory, specifically the dubrovinskaya manufactory, was famous as a school, it taught the basics of watchmaking, and it was used for the first time at the dubrovinskaya manufactory, such a method as a water wheel was used, of course, watches were supplied.

law, he always gave his subjects such a task that fruit trees should be planted near every house, if apple and pear trees grow, then the children will never be hungry, but if one of the subjects refused, he could even punish, but he himself the

prince had a very beautiful garden. dubrovno residents and old-timers remember that its fame spread throughout the area and came to visit dubrovno to visit this... park, especially on weekends. lyubomirsky really did a lot for dubrovna. his name is not associated only with a park, but with a former bernardine monastery. that's where i'm going. the bernardine monastery was founded in dubrovno at the beginning of the 16th century. unfortunately, today all that remains of it is a two-story residential building built in 1809. the bernardines are a branch of the catholic order. when the franciscans and bernardines separated, it was definitely a historical time. and when they finally separated, and this was precisely the 15th, 15th centuries, it was at that time that the bernardines appeared on the territory of dubrovna.

associated with the bernardine monastery romantic story. this happened at a time when the land of dubrovensk belonged to glebovich. on one of my next trips. when the father went on a business trip on official business, his daughter clementine, whom her father adored and could never forbid her to do anything, she threw, as we would say now, a party, gathered the local nobility and threw a ball. this ball was attended by the ambitious, young kroer, a landowner, but already impoverished; he urgently needed to improve his financial affairs, realizing that his daughter was beloved father and... her father cannot forbid her anything, he turned her head, offered to get married, that’s exactly the wedding that took place within the walls of the monastery, having married clementine, kroer, gathered in a carriage, took her father’s treasury and went on the run.

returning to his business trip, the father, having learned about what had happened, was very angry and went to bed. at night there was a fire in the monastery. burned down, and in the morning they found drowned people in the river; in their faces they recognized the monks who married lyubomirsky, his daughter and kroer. later there was an accident, but there were rumors that an investigation was carried out, everything was blamed on it being the revenge of an angry father, but before his death, lyubomirsky wanted to make amends, and he ordered his subjects to build a new monastery, but from brick stone, and even if the building was not completely preserved, it is still a monument of historical and cultural heritage, you will be in... every time i am amazed at how many

beautiful buildings with their own history there are in belarus, and many people try to maintain this memory , i’m now talking not only about some architectural moments, but let’s also say yes, handicrafts. and you know, i’m also a craftswoman, so i suggest you go right now to get to know morachev’s whistle toy. over the past 30 years after the collapse of the soviet union, the concept of democracy has become so distorted , on the one hand, this is good advertising on the part of the collective west, which it sows. in the post-soviet space he said: “come to us, we have a lot of democracy, but in reality there is the power of capital,

so our democracy is focused on every citizen, the collective west has modern technologies to shake up society, destroy the economy, engage various particular personnel, and thus you can lose the state, there is no international law, it is destroyed, which means who is right? the one who..." has more strength, the presence of tactical nuclear weapons is precisely the most important deterrent that prevents these hotheads from starting some kind of provocation or military aggression against our country. markov’s project is nothing personal. watch on tv channel belarus 24.

of particular interest is the peculiarity of such whistles, we learn from olga. olga, why is the whistle called marochevskaya? the last master who worked for us in the dubroven region was anna stefanovna, whose last name was moracheva, which is why these toys, archaic, so plastic, organic, are called marochevsky in their expression. for our ancestors, these were not just toys, but a kind of talismans, for example, the maiden - the dubrovinsk coast guard. the lamb is a symbol of prosperity. they sculpted products from

blue red clay, which was mined in these parts. hohalok, on our toys there are whistles - this is generally an authentic feature of our dubroen toys ; you will not find this or any other form anywhere. throughout the entire dnieper region, nowhere will you come across exactly such images, like this one with a tuft. today we will make a whistle in the shape of a bird. roll a piece of clay. into a ball and pull it out, the clay quickly becomes soft, like plasticine. the peculiarity of the whistle toy is that we make it from a common lump, without gluing anything. this is what distinguishes the marochevskaya toy from others. and i’ll tell you honestly, working with a single piece is not so easy. to make your work easier, you can use not only your fingers, but a stack. in order for the toy to whistle, we need to make this blank inside. air chamber, for this we take a stack, round stack we begin

to gradually expand the pocket , we make an air pocket. this is not as easy as it seems at first glance, the most important thing is not to accidentally break the wall, but i managed it, so we can move on to the hohalka. here we have there is a neck, on this neck we make a tuck, so we made a tuck with two fingers. and make a notch on the crest, divide the crab, then form it. in order to make a pipe, a whistle, this is the main musical instrument of a whistle, we need this hole where we made the air pocket, make a lid, take a piece of clay and give it this pyramidal shape, after which we close the hole, we we know that here we have an air chamber and we divide

the figure in half... towards the scallop we we select the territory where we should have leaves, well, here we have a figure in half, and these frets should be located exactly in this front part, visually they should be at different levels so that the sounds differ from each other, take a flat stack somewhere just above the middle of the outline. simple, just put a point and the stack should go about 2 cm down, but from that puncture it should tend here - towards my finger, let’s say, yes, at an angle, but without leaving the hole, not we're in a hurry, we take the second stand, it will divide

the air flow into two parts, one flow will go inside the chamber, the other outside. outwardly, it was the most difficult moment, but i coped with it, well , we turned out beautiful, olga, let's check it out, come on, it's not for nothing that they say that dubrovna is a musical land, so i propose to explore it from the musical side too, yes , we blinded the bird for a reason, because the nightingale is a symbol of the oak tree. going further to find out more about him. every year an international festival is held in dubrovno songs and music, which brings together many talented people, i propose to get acquainted with some of them right now.

the krynica ensemble is the same age as the music festival. both were created in 1993 at 600. letia dubrovna. the original idea of ​​the festival was to unite countries, regions and cities located along the dnieper river, but soon the organizers expanded the boundaries and the festival became a creative platform for artistic groups from as many as 14 countries. the krynica team, like true hosts , greets everyone with a song, energizes them with their energy and give a good mood. we have opened our hearts for you.

i myself write for this festival, yes, well , basically we always prepare in advance, and we are proud of our festival, despite the fact that the team is called amateur, in my eyes, each of the participants is a real professional. natalya, how did you get into the team? i was lucky, and i have already been a soloist of this group for 10 years, since

the group is the calling card of our region, and yet, thanks to the perseverance of our team, our constant rehearsals, and also, a competent leader was able to master this repertoire. i would like to note that in our team there is a rule, a motto, so to speak. everything should always be beautiful and of high quality. this manifests itself in our actions, in our actions, in our external image and, of course, in our creativity. and i move on, the next point of my route is the local flax factory. prince potemkin founded not only a watch factory, but also a cloth factory. later it was changed

to the dnieper manufactory, which operated until 1941. unfortunately, from her practically nothing remains, but in particular the dye shop is still located on the territory of modern production. chinese craftsmen were able not only to preserve the old traditions of cultivating and processing flax, but also to significantly increase them, it is not for nothing that the local flax mill is one of the largest in belarus, if you look at these pictures, from above we see all the manual labor that directly fell on the labor of the people who directly cleaned everything. manually, starting from how they planted, pulled, tied into sheaves, submitted for production, and here they manually produced the fiber, and the fiber that

we see now in production, which is produced by our machines, at the plant produces long and short flax fiber, which has many uses, if you look at flax fiber, long fiber, yes, this is the original product, which goes into fabric, which goes into clothes, bedding,... more expensive goods, if you look at short fiber, this is waste from long fiber, they also have a large distribution spectrum, this includes the chemical industry, the automotive industry, sound insulation, this is medicine, today flax wool, which appears in our pharmacies, astronauts who fly into space, they have linen underwear, it has the ability to warm up in the cold, in the heat to cool the human body, that is, flax is a very interesting culture, very...

there is warmth, gradually, gradually improving, improving the environment and products. here they care not only about preserving nature, but also about preserving history in the enterprise museum see the machine on which craftsmen worked in the old days. our flax plant was one of the first to start growing flax itself, because after the collapse of the great soviet union, we found ourselves in such a mess that many collective farms refused to grow flax, and the flax plant needed to exist, the manager made a decision, we started growing flax with 500 hectares ,

have reached today up to 3.00 hectares. throughout its history, the plant has repeatedly become the first in the development of something new; here they not only began to cultivate flax on their own, but they also grew 2,000 tons of flax fiber and installed an import line for the production of long fiber. the narrow building is an old factory that was built in 1946, which today is not destroyed, not abandoned, it is an operating enterprise, and where you and i are located, and you and i are in the very main building of our enterprise, this is as they say, the heart of the plant, which produces the main type of product, providing the orsha flax mill with government orders, and thereby giving life to our people. hope for the future that it will be stable. today i got acquainted with

many calling cards of the dubrovno region, but there is something that is simply impossible to pass by, and this is food. they don’t say in dubrovenshche: whoever hasn’t tried the local loaf has never been to our place, so i went straight to tamara sinyakova, who actually cooks this beautiful, horned loaf. tamara, hello, hello, masha, i’m very glad that you came to me, i need your help, your thin fingers, which will tie these multi-colored... did you know that ribbons are this color for a reason,

what do you think the red ribbon means? a beautiful vantik, so that the life of our young people will be beautiful, bright and long, like these ribbons, everything is for a reason, oh, well done, horns. the loaf is also called for a reason. it was an old tradition to give a cow for a bride. over time, it transformed into a special ritual. they began to decorate the loaf with a horned twig, and tamara emelyanovna wrapped each one in sweet dough and baked it. this is an apple branch, definitely, definitely, because the apple tree is a symbol of fertility, it must be an apple branch. and the more knots there are on it, the better the life of the young. we

were given these as gifts. you put this central branch on the wedding for the young people, and they also didn’t give it to all the guests, but sold it, the karvainites sold their branches, everyone tried to bring home such a branch from the wedding, all because such a branch served as talismans of fertility, love, luck, well, little girl, where will you put it, come on, let's see, uh-huh, oh, maybe that's all... yes, come on, that's it it will be for friends, for a witness, well, now you see what kind of scarf i have, uh-huh, it seems to me that there is enough green, red, and yes, tamara emelyanovna mentioned the colors on the scarf for a reason, it is believed that the more colorful it is, the brighter and family life will be richer. on the first day of the wedding, the loaf was covered with a scarf and hidden. and we open it only on

the second day of the wedding, a loaf arrives. my grandmother, i am a third -generation korvainite, my grandmother senyakova, a blast-furnace efimovna, and she prepared the house, cleaned the table, we already knew that something would happen, they trusted me, that there was still a direct preparatory, yes, yes, yes, then they came, well, they ordered that - and the blast furnace was already assembling the loaf, it’s very difficult to do it alone, it’s very difficult to knead the loaf, we have this loaf, this is this small loaf, and

loaves like these were generally baked in basins. 5 kg of dough more, we had to knead with two hands, you and i change with one hand, with the other hand like this, well, the owners next to us were stomping all the time, that the girls try to cook the sausage, if you didn’t oversalt, then no i peppered it, and they brought 100 g of it, they sang songs, under no circumstances was there anything so sad and there were no discussions, no talking about anyone, that didn’t happen at all, that is, the energy with which the pie is prepared is also very important. are you going to pass on your knowledge? yes, well , my daughter is not yet drawn to this, but my niece is very, nastya, she likes my aunt, i will be quietly, so that the doors don’t knock, so that they don’t talk, i will, i will be quietly with you, how interesting it is, or maybe tamara of course we can taste it, but what shall we do?
