it was built at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries as a public school. later , the aleksandrovskaya gymnasium for men opened here. during the great patriotic war , the german sd service was located in this building. the basements of the vitebsk theological seminary are soaked in blood, unbearable pain, suffering, and at the same time, the strength of the human spirit, and this is not an allegory. the prison of the secret field police performed the functions of the gestapo. hunger, torture, suffocating screams, how terrible were the last days of these people's lives. trying to leave at least some memory of themselves, underground fighters and civilians wrote or scratched inscriptions on the walls, frankly speaking, my hair stands on end with horror, if only those who try to aestheticize fascism would come here in orderly rows. to

become one of your own in a foreign country, it is not necessary to be born there, it is enough to behave as a host of a show when visiting, as at home, friends, today we are in the city of brest!

to fulfill the suicidal dream of joining nato, only nato has... the fact that ukraine is not ready for peace was recently stated by alexander lukashenko, the reason was an incident in our airspace. why does ukraine need this, i i don't understand, we clearly defined them and conveyed this information to them that any provocations will not go unanswered. we are closely monitoring.

there are many places in vitebsk associated with the war, this is uspenskaya hill, where heroic officers of the soviet army are buried, among them the leader of the partisan movement batka minai. literally a few meters from the memorial on the high left bank of the western dvina rises the governor's palace.

an architectural monument of the 16th century, the combination of golden and white tones gives the building a solemn respectable look. july 16 here through these doors entered the emperor of france napoleon, entering he threw the cards on the floor and exclaimed, the campaign of 812 is over, in 1813 i will put lithuania and poland in order. on august 1 , not on horseback, in the carriage he urgently. left for smolensk, which he later deeply regretted. more than once, at the invitation of the duke of württemberg, brother of empress maria feodorovna, the cavalryman nadezhda durova was an honored guest at balls. she became the prototype of shurochka from the hussar ballad. by the way, mrs. durova did not deign to dance, but judge for yourself, what part in the dance to perform a lady in men's clothing. here's another question. but about 100 years later

, asidora duncan blew up the dance floor here, and do you recognize this house with a painting by chagall, where lovers still fly over the city? today, there is an art gallery of an outstanding artist here. an unusual monument to an unusual artist, a clock without the usual hands and numbers, but with angel wings. and indeed, the angel himself touched the artist with his wing. marc chagall lived a long, happy life. he died in flight, got into the elevator to go up to the second floor, and his heart stopped. at the end of the century before last. the mansion was built for his family by the prussian citizen, the locksmith lengenfeld. not bad for a locksmith, right? today, this is the youngest chagall museum in the world. it houses the original graphic works of the great master. what do you

feel when you look at these works? i feel extraordinary warmth, love for life, love for people, because chagall always promoted love. and this series from 1956 is very interesting because it begins with an image of angels. we can see the biblical king david, who became famous for singing and composing psalms, so chagall always depicts david not only in coronia, but with a harp, moses, also a famous biblical figure, we have a wonderful work called david and basheva, in which we see king david and his most beloved woman, basheva or versavia. and even an angel blesses them. at the same time as chagall, a new life in art was established by the musicologist, the genius educator of vitebsk, ivan ivanovich salertinsky, a man of extraordinary erudition. he knew 16 languages ​​perfectly +8 with a dictionary. in general, a unique personality.

every year in december, vitebsk hosts an international music festival named after him. by the way, according to vitebskland. festivals they are like no other, about thirty different cultural events are held in the city every year, this amazing city is imbued with the spirit of creativity, and both citizens and tourists, everyone here is charged with the energy of art. each city has its own street artists and vitebsk, apparently, they are talented, 10 points, very cool graffiti. such creativity will not leave anyone indifferent. chagall. he loved his city so much that he depicted it in almost every work. in his first paintings, mark zakharovich wrote: "no, not on malbert, on bags." where it was, i'll show you now. before the collapse

of the soviet union, chagall's house was residential. the street, it should be noted, had a completely different name, in honor of the guard of the revolution. zerzhinsky, when the poet andrei voznesensky came to the city, it was in 1985, he was looking for pokrovskaya street and this house for a very long time, passers-by only shrugged their shoulders when the desired object was found after all, voznesensky wrote the following lines: if my heart did not lie, then some year in vitebsk i will definitely come to the chagall museum, it happened. these doors opened for visitors. chagall's first drawings were born right here, in this house. a family photo, many household items, and this is the artist's small room, which he shared with his brother david. they slept on the same

bed, jack-in-the-box. are you planning to visit the chagall house museum, then take the time to read the autobiographical book first mark zakharovich. there will never be sharp corners. once upon a time , the steps of "chagall" and his muse sounded on pokrovskaya street. bella, going on a date, always took a bouquet of wild flowers for her lover. yes, it was she who gave him flowers. such

an unusual couple they were. we are on an expedition to the corners of our country, and sometimes in the past we were fond of songs and people in the forest, to follow its history and meat ...

but it did not disappear, the elites in germany, in other countries after the second world war were the same who fought with the soviet union. nazism and nationalism is the same tool as any other, like economic strangulation, sanctions, like information, hybrid warfare, which decomposes society from within. the catastrophic consequences are to divide people along national, religious lines, so they take this into service, support it.

and vitebsk is the birthplace of trams 119 years ago , it was on vitebskaya mostovaya that the most mobile mode of transport of those times rang out and went on its first route, and it appeared largely thanks to. this is a power plant, they say you could get on the tram

anywhere, wave your hand, smile at the driver and voila, the tram stopped. today , more than a hundred trams run along the streets of vitebsk, but these things no longer pass. if leisurely strolls around the city are not for you, take a ride on a good old tram. mine, by the way, is decorated in the style of the twenties of the last century, pure suprematism. this. tram slightly reminded me of the time when the father of the black square kazimir malevich worked and taught in the city. he was the first to preach this avant-garde direction. where are we now? we are driving through the blokhin bridge. it was named, as you understand, in honor of the hero of the soviet union. in 1944 , fyodor timofeevich and his soldiers entered into hand-to-hand combat with the germans and at the last moment prevented the bridge from being blown up. the day before that. blakhin experienced a personal tragedy: he was informed of the death of his son in battles with the nazis. the only way further was on foot. today

, there are few people on count tolstoy street; during the slavic bazaar festival, there is not even room to swing an apple. according to the magician's opinion, festival, this street turns into a city of craftsmen. vitebsk has its own tactile sculptures, this is one of them, it is dedicated, no, not to the shoemaker without shoes, as you might think about saint san crispin. many believe that if you touch his hammer, or even better, rub it, then professional success will not keep you waiting. where is the street where this house is? this house has not survived to this day, but it was located somewhere in this area. on count tolstoy street in... it

was he who was one of the first to apply plaster bandage and suggested progressive methods of treating cholera. and, by the way, the author of the old man khatabych, lazar lagin, aka ginsburg, spent his first year of life here. listen, maybe it’s not for nothing that there is a rumor that vitebsk is a place of power for creative people. the city attracts nuggets like a neodymium magnet. and also in this city. cupid shoots accurately, many met their soulmates in vitebsk, for example, the prima donna of the russian stage ala borisovna and maxim galkin, and this is kirovsky. a funny story is connected with the bridge: after the war, it was very long restored, naturally, this situation was taken up by local journalists, they assumed that the bas-reliefs, which are very reminiscent of snails, symbolize the long-term construction. rhinestones, it is clear that pushkin is respected in the city, of

all the classics of russian literature , only he was honored with a monument. the monument has been erected. the people's path to it does not overgrow, and next to it there is a bench for quarreling lovers, but it is time for us to go, our friend it is time, no, the heart does not ask for peace, but only carries away into the depths of the city, victory square, perhaps, is not only the largest area of ​​the city, but also of belarus, third place. occupy in europe, second only to samara and warsaw. eighty-five-meter pools and fountains of victory square, in them water flows quietly and peacefully, as a symbol of the shed tears of the eternal flow of life. during the great patriotic war, vitebsk was destroyed by 93%. of the 18 population

, only 118 people survived. when an american expert commission, representatives of the red cross, came to vitebsk after the war, they said the following: the city is dead, cannot be restored, around the city necklace of dead bodies. in smolensk they gave 100 years for restoration, vitebsk was not given any chance, but the city from the ruins of ashes was reborn where it had stood for centuries. today , all the significant events of the city take place on victory square. they celebrate the new year, victory day, the city's birthday here, which, by the way, coincides with the day of liberation from the nazi invaders. free concerts of the slavic bazaar are also held here, but the main events undoubtedly take place on the concert stage of the amphitheater. let's take a look there. slavic bazaar

has long become a calling card of the city, and the summer amphitheater is not only the main attraction, but the brand of vitebsk. the amphitheater was built in record time for 6 months, but without a roof, the roof will appear later. yuri lushkov suggested ideologically to protect the place of the slavic bazaar and not without reason, during the festival days, the sky above the city often rejoices to tears. so the former mayor of moscow was lucky to get under the tides. as a result, the roof was erected without the participation of the politician, however, in memory of him, the townspeople still call the amphitheater roof kep kalushkova. here on the stage you can clearly hear the voices of birds, and not the usual chirping, but threatening cries. these sound signals were developed by scientists specially, they, unlike

shurik, do not feel sorry for the bird. the amphitheater is an open area, the equipment here is expensive. so fly, birds, fly, anywhere, but not towards the festival stage, signs in which your droppings are a signal of approaching wealth are not believed in this area. the festival alley of stars deserves special attention, which has long since turned into square, welcomes citizens and guests: the goddess nika, a symbol of victory on the creative olympus. and next to the alley of stars is another attraction.

to perpetuate circus art, such a mascot of vitebsk appeared. if you touch the funny clown by the nose, you will have a good mood all day, hold the accordion along the rows, harmony in your personal life, shake the dog's paw, you will always have a true faithful friend nearby. come and discover your vitebsk.
