what a diligent tourist should definitely see in the city. bobruisk really wants you to feel good in it, it immediately offers several tourist routes a convenient mobile application. don't get lost. it must be said that the layout of babruisk is not typical. after the construction of the bobruisk fortress, which initially looked like a giant star, the city was formed around it, forming the rays of the ring. the fortress itself was built in just a year to become the western border. of the russian empire in the war with napoleon. the task of the fortress carried out and even survived two more wars, and although the old city, 400 years old, was demolished for its construction, it literally fed the new city-fortress. the residents of old bobruisk literally lived off the fortress. the thousands of soldiers who were here, of course, wanted to drink and eat well, and paid money for it. 30,000 citizens of old bobruisk lived off this, as they say, where there is demand, there is supply.

now the fortress has fallen into disrepair. there are legends about it, about napoleon's treasures, and about underground passages, and a stone sack, a terrible a prison cell in which you can neither sit nor stand up. nowadays, the bobruisk fortress is included in the list of historical and cultural values ​​of the republic of belarus. by the way, many tourists mistakenly think that this is the entire bobruisk fortress. well, no, this is not true. the fortress is located on an area of ​​several kilometers. around, i'll show you now. in general, the area of ​​the fortress occupied up to 120 hectares, today they have a capanir from which you could shoot back, a reduid for close combat, you can also look at the opman tower or the red tower, minsk gate abandoned barracks. looking at these barracks, it is easy to imagine the scale of the construction of the fortress, and where there is a large construction, big money is circulating, which means that someone is definitely making money. you can imagine for yourself that if in

some places the width of the fortress walls was up to ten bricks, how many bricks and other building materials were needed so that every single brick went to the fortress, the townspeople were forbidden to build stone houses, only wooden ones, well, and here the residents of bobruisk did not remain at a loss, in the city flourished timber industry, the image of wooden ship masts is even on the coat of arms of bobruisk, well now the remains of the fortress splendor serve as a good background for a photo shoot. picnics and more. the fortress lives a full life to this day. now it is a large film studio, films are constantly shot here. due to its advantageous location, and the city was at the intersection of trade routes, bobroisk always had some privileges. for example, in the 15th century, residents were allowed to make alcoholic drinks for themselves and not for sale to cut down the forest along the river for construction.

the bobruisk market has always been a cultural center, a center where public opinion was created and formed, where not only trade was conducted, but also negotiations were held regarding matchmaking, employment, and even bets were made. nothing has changed now. before the construction of the fortress , fairs were held instead of a market in bobruisk, well, with the arrival of the military, a permanent market arose in the sludsky suburb, it was. first wooden, and then stone, well, now it consists of pavilions. each resident of bobruisk has his own memories associated with the market: someone ran here with a can for milk, someone bought ice cream from a jewish grandmother at the entrance. there were rumors that when she died, a fortune was found in her mattress. the market has its own colorful characters now. so, stop it. lyudmila ivanovna is one of the attractions of bobruisk, she is shy and afraid to be filmed. lyudmila ivanovna. trades here on the market square,

come, say hello to her without fail, she is a kind-hearted person, if you want to know the latest news of babruisk, then you are welcome we ask, this is for her, i do not conduct political formations, but in general trade in bobruisk has always been brisk, even more profitable than in the capital, the number and income of bobruisk merchants exceeded those of minsk by several times, they traded everything they could, they even named the city itself in honor of the main product, bobruisk is called bobruisk for quite understandable reasons, the inhabitants of the city were engaged in the beaver trade, everything from fur to beaver jet, so it is quite logical, the beaver is the symbol of the city. you don't need to look for beavers in bobruisk, they are everywhere here. well, the most respectable beaver appeared here in 2006 for the harvest. it weighs 300 kg and is located not far from the market. by the way, they say that in the sixties of the last century, bobruisk bachelors gathered on this patch of land, and bobruisk brides walked past them. well, now folk craftsmen stand here, in bobruisk,

whether you like it or not, everything is somehow connected with beavers and even souvenirs here in the form of beavers, you can hold them in your hands, look at how beautiful they are, if you are here, you will definitely buy them. you have a beaver and how it is alive for good, why am i saying that everyone men were like a beaver, the best family man, the best worker is a beaver, he will tear a bear's mouth apart for his family , so that all men would be like that, in general, that 's why i know that a beaver has its own instructions for good, that is, it's not just a figurine, it actually makes a wish come true, that is, if you rub it, but... you'll rub it, you won't sneeze, to health, yeah, then, a pen, a pen, to good friends, not to the rich, to good friends, good friends, okay, a chain, that's prosperity, not like the youth say to dough, prosperity, they are chains, girls rub, then

they will rub your groom, well i won’t rub there, i rubbed everything else, it’s not the boys who rub the butterfly, whoever rubs the beaver’s butterfly will always be a gentleman on... points, so that babruisk returns, and so that he really, i put euros, euros are not that this is euro money, but that this is a jew, euros are not money, these are jews, speaking a good chan, it is from beaver samuilovich that the so-called bobruisk arbat or social street begins, a pedestrian socialist street, you can walk along it all the way to the berezina, in all cities there are pedestrian street. so in bobruisk this street is very long, in fact it is a large pedestrian avenue, well, according to the classics, on weekends people dress up to go out, see others and show themselves off. old-timers say that one of the entertainments was a competition, who would walk along

the social street more times, back and forth. nowadays , you can also walk here endlessly. after the street became completely pedestrian, there is simply the highest concentration of shops and cafes. by the way, all the houses in the old center of bobruisk are brick. when the fortress ceased to be the center of city life, in 1837 the railway appeared in bobruisk and gave impetus to the development of brick production. that is why there are so many brick houses here, red brick is considered the architectural calling card of bobruisk. it seems to me that babruisk has a competitor, it is pinsk, and these two cities compete in the number of old buildings. so it seems to me that bobruisk even wins a little in this regard, here the old buildings are less diluted with modern inclusions. in the 19th century , the socialist street was nicknamed bobruisk nevsky. only the wealthiest citizens could afford houses here. the rich residents

of babruisk always competed to see whose house was more beautiful. and if you walk around the city, you will find many such beautiful mansions. note that only the front facade of the house was plastered, if the house was one-story, then they lived there, if the house had two floors, then on the first floor there was always a shop, and on the second - living quarters, the entrance to which was from the yard, well, and the most magnificent houses were, of course, those of the timber merchants, they could do a lot for themselves allow, including eccentricity, here is another beautiful example, the house of kubchikha kotsnelson, do you know how it appeared in babruisk, when... she traveled around the baltics and she really liked this house, what she did, she bought it and transported it in parts to belarus. well, the rich, as they say, have their own habits, she transported the house, but did not live in it for a day, she simply rented it out. around the same time , another house was being built in babruisk, which today is not

ignored by tourists. i may not surprise you, but this landmark you should definitely see bobroisk, this house is called port arthur. it is so because it really is an impregnable fortress. in fact, residents can only get into their apartments from the yard and if the gates to the yard are closed, the house turns into an impregnable fortress. the name port arthur is most likely associated with the defense of the fortress of the same name, since the house was built during the russo-japanese war. urban legends say that somewhere under the house there is an underground passage, far away. you will find yourself near port arthur in the summer, be prepared to stand in line to take a photo, as the dvorik is constantly hosting photo sessions of the bobruisk newlyweds. there is an amazing sign in bobruisk, be sure to find it, here are the directions to all the world capitals, among them, look, the city of pleshchenitsy, well, earlier it was called pleshchenitsy, there is a saying in belarus:

there are three capitals in belarus, minsk, bobruisk, dopleshchanitsy. the sign is next to another landmark of the historical center of bobruisk. it is on it that the clock strikes the time every hour. and exactly at 19:40 it plays the famous jewish melody 7:40. once it was a water tower, now it is a decent restaurant. but it is also here that you can meet. the son of lieutenant schmiff. one of the most striking sights of babruisk is a special magic. the figures here come to life. hello, shura. hello, hello. well, as comrade mopasan said, closer to the body, i want to introduce you. in fact, this is not shura, this is artyom. artyom, i understand that you are here for a reason, you meet tourists. naturally, i meet tourists. in in principle, we show them the sights, tell them stories, and also remember the most famous phrases from ilf petrov's "the golden calf". cool, awesome, can you imagine,

having arrived in bobruisk, you can spend the whole day in the company of the real shuri balaganov. cool! by the way, there are more than ten certified tour guides working in babruisk, who can offer more than ten tourist routes from the secrets of the old city to the literary places of bobruisk. and you will definitely see that bobruisk is a highly cultural place, if interactive tour will conduct. here is such a costumed character, a small request, the fact is that my friend panikovsky sincerely assured me that this is a golden weight, saw off the weights, they are golden. in belarus, in my opinion, there is a very rational

and correct attitude to what is called the law. laws must certainly be observed by everyone, but there is a nuance: the head of state, for example, said at one time that very thing, sometimes nedozanov, a hurricane passed through belarus and it is necessary to quickly repair buildings and construction. they started announcing procedures for selecting contractors. as a result , a contractor has not yet been selected, and work has not begun. there are two paths, the one that is prescribed by laws, which is to agree with everyone, hold a tender, and so on and so forth, and the one that is dictated by logic, it is raining, people have no roofs in their houses, and they are bargaining, this is the desire to put logic in emergency situations above some papers, this is one of the reasons why alexander grigorievich is a leader, and not just a politician, he is ready take responsibility along with risks, and do it regularly. igor's author's project. watch propaganda on the belarus 24 tv channel. secrets of a good morning and a good

200 years. one of the most important and must -see attractions in bobruisk is the synagogue, but today is saturday, shabbat, you will not get here, no one is working. the revival of the synagogue in bobruisk coincided with the 2000s, when ravin came to the city. in addition to a place for prayer, the bobruisk synagogue is also cultural and educational center. not only for jews, but also for tourists. of course, i am most interested in jewish culinary traditions. and before the master class at the jewish center, i prepared well. a bottle of kefir. half a loaf - a real student classic, evokes a wildly pleasant nostalgia, and by the way, i am holding this loaf in my hands now, standing near the synagogue for a reason, for someone it is just a soviet braid, but in fact, this pastry has a thousand-year history, you probably don’t even remember, in the soviet union

a ruddy braid was sold for 22 kopecks, it was very aromatic, sprinkled with poppy seeds, it had a golden. very fluffy pulp, for which soviet workers loved it. this braid occupied a place of honor between a simple loaf of bread and a sweet bun for tea, although in addition to the soviet history it has a much more interesting history, and it is not a braid at all, but challah. soviet bakers inherited challah from the pre- revolutionary assortment, where it came straight from the jewish table. challah simply became a braid because it was baked and went into food without any special rituals. and what is this tradition? customs make challah challah for jews, i'll find out now, and elya, dinaa and the beautiful girls from the hillel student center will tell me this wonderful story. so, what is challah? challah is traditionally white bread, a white braided loaf that jews eat on shabbat. come on, tell us

how challah begins. like any dough, eggs, yeast, flour. our dough is already ready, you see. has even risen to us, that everything in the oven, everything, well, how is it in the oven, and to pray, good to say, okay, we need for this challah to be, well, are you ready, for this challah to be truly kosher and truly jewish, truly our shabadni, we need to separate a piece from it to say a blessing, okay, in fact , i remember that a little, challah is not so much the dish itself, as, probably, the process of separating this small piece. and by the way, why do they separate it? in the jewish tradition there are 613 commandments, but the happy owners of, so to speak, female genes, can fulfill only three commandments: firstly, separating the challah, yeah, secondly, it's washing in a mikveh in a special pool and lighting candles on shabbat. why am i smiling, i really don't understand almost anything, but it's wonderful that

women are honored with three beautiful ceremonies that men are not allowed to, that is, i... i understand that today you won't let me separate the challah or braid this beautiful, well , we definitely won't let me separate it, but we will definitely let me play with braiding a pigtail, well, you understand, i can do that, let's cook, let's go, now i'll take a small piece, we separate it, and what happens next with this piece, now we 'll hide this piece, like this, molova we'll say a blessing. and eat it? no, first let's say, what's the point of this tradition? tell me why you need to separate a piece, why you can't eat it. separating the challah is considered a tribute to tradition, many thousands of years ago the jews had a temple in which we made sacrifices, and since there is no temple now, now we can't burn any part

of our harvest there or sacrifice actually part of the harvest, we burn a piece.

jews need to perform a ritual hand washing, say a special blessing before and after eating. of course, i washed my hands, but they are clearly growing from the wrong place.

i still couldn’t roll out a link for a braid until my wonderful housewives helped me. now all that’s left is to braid the braid itself, i have to cope with that. i asked that question at the beginning of our dialogue, what is shabbat, what kind of holiday is this? first of all, shabbat is, of course, holiday. this is. this is saturday, the day of the week, which we separate from all the others, from all the weekdays, we separate with a special ceremony or the ceremony of shabbat kabbalat shabbat, moreover, saturday is a day on which we have a certain amount of forbidden work, we cannot create anything new, we do not do certain jobs, that is, such a day of laziness, no, in no case, it is a day of immersion in oneself, in the family, it is a day that...

an egg to smear the hava, so that it has a golden crust, right, than the more we spread it, the tastier it will be , study well, that's it, tell me, please, you can't work on saturday, so you have to start making challah on friday, is that true, well, traditionally we start making it on thursday, today is thursday, it's already evening, and we kind of start making it and separating it, because the jews... and the days begin in the evening, actually friday begins on thursday evening, what an amazing nation, the jews, four new years, the day begins at night, but

you can't work on saturdays, and okay, i'm generally confused about yours traditions i am sincerely grateful that you allowed me to touch them like this today, a special oval dish and special knives are used to serve challah, in wealthy families. metals and generously decorated, so today antique things for serving challah can be found in museums. comparing my challah and yours, i have one question: does the size matter? well, in this matter the size of course does not matter, but the larger one is more beautiful. we still share the challah among the whole family, you can, of course, give out portions, yes, like yours, your skill.

impudent, this is a woman who swears, yeah, here she is, amazing, okay,

what is impudent for? a beautiful word, in a simple version, so that our challahs are not offended that we remembered about them so late, we cover them so that they wait for the blessing in warmth and comfort, you say all this, but i, frankly speaking, have only one thought, to try to break it, my mouth is watering, but we will do it a little later, on shabbat, and for now until saturday i am fed with stories about amazing jewish bread, challah, on this trip bobruisk was generally generous. treated me to views of intricate red-brick houses, urban legends and meetings with cheerful people with a great sense of humor. babruisk has many symbols, and as i was able to see, not only culinary ones, it is a multifaceted and interesting city, come here, definitely.

we follow the sports life of our country. swimmer igor bokiy opened the account of belarusian medals at 17.
