in 1915, chechersk received the right to self-government, the so-called magdeburg law, at the same time a building was built for the rada a special room, a wooden town hall, which has not survived to this day. there is not much historical data about this monument. it is known that the town hall once stood in the middle of a large square, had a large striking clock, and a guard stood on its tower to announce the arrival of guests. there were shops around the town

hall, about 76. other information often excludes each other and can only confuse. it is impossible, for example, to find out how many storeys the town hall had. all sources give a different number of storeys, probably depending on from what each of the authors understood by the word floor. we do not know either the original appearance, or the author, or the exact time of its construction. in 1700. in 72 after the division of the polish-lithuanian commonwealth, chechersk became part of the russian empire, and a year later, in 1773, the town passed into the possession of zakhar grigorievich chernyshov. at the insistence of the russian commander, the construction of a new stone town hall began. history is silent about the year the construction began and the name of the architect. now the building dates back to the end of the 18th century. also in chechersk there appeared. and churches and a catholic

church. the building of the chechersk stone town hall is rectangular, two stories high. on the sides, the roof is crowned with four-sided towers with spires. in the center of the roof, on a raised drum, a fifth tower is installed, narrowed at the top. the windows of the first floor are rectangular, on the second - lancet with an arched finish. the cornices are decorated with figured brackets. the tower. on the roof is made of wood, but their decorations correspond to the composition and stone decorations on the rest of the building. this trend was observed in russian architecture 18 century. after the war, the building was used by the city administration. in early 1974 , the town hall was badly damaged in a fire, which destroyed all the wooden structures. repair and restoration work dragged on until 2004. the town hall building was

ceremonially opened on september 24, 2004, on the day of the 845th anniversary of the city of chechersk. a visit to chechersk and a visit to the town hall are included in a number of educational tours around belarus. today, the town hall building houses a historical and ethnographic museum. dobro welcome to belarus. i am a very self-sufficient person, i know that i am a master, but i am not an artist. i am not

a stone-worker, i am something magical, and i lack fortune today, but i do not sit idle, that is, i want to. give a new collection of works, where bars, where cezanne, manet, picasso, soutine, all of them, we will put our korovin there, where they would be together, were in paris at that time, i have all the plots, they are in my head, and like barnes carries works on a steamship, philadelphia, pennsylvania, i have been going towards this for more than 30 years. so this is practically my whole life, and my life began in general in the soviet period, i grew up in a family of intelligent parents, they had a job not connected with art in any way, my father was a lawyer, my mother

taught a-a at the university, like geography and some kind of attraction to art. they did not instill in me, although well, the period was difficult, it was the sixties, and a few years had passed since the great patriotic war, people were still living in memories, but i was drawn to art, drawn, why, because my grandmother had a there was a small but very serious collection of works, i'm keeping quiet at this point, but these works impressed everyone who came in. i was also in love with one of these paintings. this is truly a work of art that could not leave anyone who

was somehow, well, rewarded by the almighty, to contemplate the beautiful without being touched. and this love somehow passed on to me, eventually, when i... had already become a graduate student, the passion for collecting beautiful paintings took hold of me, despite the fact that there was little money, but at the same time i was carried away, i was carried away, i went to various exhibitions, went to galleries, and if i managed to buy some works, then i can say that i acquired them, well, i will say, at that time i had already acquired them, i had a duchec, you understand, this is a serious, our artist, more than fate, i found myself in the polytechnic institute, was immediately a noticeable figure in terms of my some kind of economic innovations, proposals

for improvement, for the implementation of scientific developments and so on, i was introduced to the rector, ultimately was in demand precisely for ... the implementation of some technical know-how, i was invited by our young scientists who worked with steels in metallurgical production, i quickly joined their team, i can say so, after a very short period of time, these are months, i headed this company, it was the first at that time in ... a technical institute, i headed this company, already somewhere in three or four months we began to smelt tool steels at our belarusian metallurgical plant, although before that scientists had been struggling with this topic, that is, with the implementation of almost more than 10 years,

you see, that is, how my basic science helped in the implementation of scientific and technical developments related to steels, when i was already entering the world of... business, the world of business, well, no, the opportunity arose to build my own individual house, at that time, this was the nineties, it was all very relevant and fashionable, every house had to have a fireplace, i am a very active person in terms of some of my own inventions, for me this is interesting, we did not see fireplaces at that time, naturally, and we did not have stone as such, we did not.

with brick, but - it is open, open open fireplaces, it was of course ae well partly - well it amazed with its art, but there were already some elements of my some discoveries and so on, well we did not pose a threat at that time for these french firms, but when after 2 years ... we already opened our own salon, it was clear the french on

the expanses of stone processing, for us it was all new, we searched, we searched for equipment, we created a lot of this production ourselves, bought magazines, that is, we were hungry for everything that represented for us discovery and in this case all our own here we worked purposefully. on the creation of fireplace portals, new fireplace portals, which belarusians had not seen at that time. initially, we went down into the underground mine, our underground, looked at what stone-processing machines were there, they were small, how water was supplied, how stone was cut, that is, we acquired the first skills in cutting the material itself and... granite and brick from our domestic production, which was it's quite simple, but it was already

present in our subway and then my sons went to italy, looked at the equipment there, studied there and so on and returned here with new skills, i spent almost 24 hours at the enterprise from morning to evening. at a certain moment i was left alone, this circumstance prompted me mm to comprehend that life lived - which was already behind, i experienced this period very deeply, in addition, not one year, my table changed, eh, my approach to life changed. well, that's it banal things seem to look like this,

the table changes, the audience that sits at the table changes, that is, i became a vegetarian, i became a vegetarian, i stopped any libations, you understand, this is already an absolutely sober way of life, a sober way of life, this gives you even more free time to think about ... but how to live on, because old habits go away and new habits are acquired, you understand, and this is very difficult, and why? because there is a certain internal contradiction between your consciousness and subconscious, through the subconscious the lord says that one must act this way and not otherwise, when i saw the lachernae icon i understood that i... can do it, this harmony between my inner world, between my

subconscious and consciousness, i acquired, this icon, this harmony, that i found something new, because the old business no longer captivated me, my personal life did not work out, and there was no development, you understand, and here i saw something not... new, which shocked me, when we brought this icon, made under the guidance of the bishop, to the lyatsky monastery, we were met thousands of pilgrims, parishioners, maybe of this monastery, monks brought this icon, it was all solemn, it made such a strong impression on me, and i realized that i would continue to dedicate my work only to these icons. i did not stop making icons until i heard on the radio in 1918 that

patriarch kirill was coming to us, when i heard that kirill himself was coming, i decided for myself that i had to give our zherovich icon to the patriarch, i was sure that our icon will impress him, of course, well, it so happened that at that moment i was unknown to anyone.

an hour later there was a call back to me, where bishop guriy, through the secretary, said: "come, tomorrow, the bishop is waiting for you." exactly the same lightning-fast entry was to the bishop, pavel, i handed our icons through one window and asked bishop pavel to express his opinion on this matter, with a letter. i explained what our icons are, how they are made, how they differ from traditional icons, what they can do, and in general in in the end, and i already as a scientist in my science came to the idea that, in general, the zheroevich icon of the mother of god is a spiritual symbol of the belarusian people and its, both territorial integrity and its sovereignty, and therefore this is a kind of

banner, moreover, all our neighbors have this banner. belarusians have it, as it were, but it is in such a way, as if still in motion, well, the poles have the chestokhov icon, the lithuanians have the starbram icon, which means our russian neighbors, which means there are five whole icons, this is the vladimir central one icon, smolensk, which is directly in contact with belarus. tikhvin in the north, kazan icon protects the east with its aphor of russia and the south, the territory of southern russia is protected by the iveron icon, this is all very symbolic at the same time in history is significant, because where the icons ended,

the orthodox world ended, we can say that icons are a form.

this is a medieval defensive synagogue that stood in minsk for 450 years, this year is its anniversary, it was made with me from the jerusalem trovertin, but there i was already working in volume, the windows are so long, they are made of onyx, it all glows, it rotates, it is an exact copy of that synagogue, it is a module in 1:10 scale, which... used to stand on the nemiga river for 450 years, then, in general, i myself was somewhere turned to the knowledge of judaism - and other sacred values, which belarus should have been overflowing with, sutin shagall, their friend madelyane - these are modern artists,

moreover, olympus, through whom i could bring these... the sacred value of judaism to our contemporaries, and to me, as it seems that we have succeeded, we are in one of the exhibition pavilions of our enterprise, where one of our collections is located, or more precisely part of it, these are... icons made of stone, this is the largest collection of stone icons in the world, the icons are presented in various techniques of execution, these are primarily three-dimensional icons,

i.e. i can say this, metropolitan veniam is the godfather of the icons we created, he created the first icon, which was in lachera, the icon of the mother of god, under

his direct supervision. having found myself in certain circumstances, i needed to fill this void, and they say that people don’t go to church to god for joy, everyone goes because of some specific sorrows, and so on. this moment of mental illness was also present in me, and this circumstance led me directly to the bible, the sermon on the mount, i worked for a long time on the text of the sermon on the mount itself, i thought, somehow i accidentally paid attention to an open book, i saw the lachernae icon of the mother of god, it is a three-dimensional icon for a stone worker.

to put the icon in all its diversity, just imagine, one iconographic image of the zheroechka icon of the mother of god is presented in various light and color solutions. the beauty of the icons is like a meadow appears before you, delights, i would say, is a delight for the eye and opens the soul to the glory of the lord. well, the center of our, my, or rather, thoughts and in general a dream. to make the largest icon in the world, this is first of all a zheroechka icon, which would glorify our blue-eyed beloved belarus. the icons at the same time appeared to be such

a prologue for our subsequent creativity. we are in one of the history museums. minsk - this is a city museum, located on rakovskaya 17, there is a fairly large exhibition of works, this is painting in stone, amazhi, a fairly legendary artist, they are dedicated to amazhi, soutine, madelyane and our other compatriot marc chagall, at the heart of these hamazha lies, lie my phantasmagoric.

and fundamentally differs from the works of these legendary authors, if we talk about soutine, he is not a narrative artist, his portrait painting, it is quite lonely, so to speak, it cannot be confused with anything, it is a vibrating canvas, this pen, brush, unclear outlines of hands, big eyes, ears, noses, further, this is what attracts. in our jamazh we see a completely different plot, this is a plot work, this is soutine's return to

belarus, he returns. with all his characters, who, in principle, are his - portrait heroes to belarus, he receives a letter from his mother, who wants to ask to go with him, and we see smilovichi, we see minsk, we see paris, that is, we see the whole history in which that artist lived, we see our... belarus, in particular, what this artist never depicted. if we talk about amaj soutine and modelliane, then there you can see the works of two artists in one work, that is, both soutine and modelliane. how could one imagine these two artists in one work? well, if you look, they are very harmonious, harmonious, because art historians wrote about this, and

those who studied these two artists, they...

and the methodology, as you can of any artist, any musician, to show, through artistic works in stones, all you need to do is create a new phantasmagoric story that is being born here now, that's all, just like that, if time allows me, i have:

the whole enterprise to the new, you understand, it's very difficult, people don't understand this, to make up for lost time with grandchildren with children, it's impossible, you also need to understand this, but you can sit in the last carriage, in the last compartment of this departing train, try there, that is, to find a place for yourself, in the greenhouse watering and tying up. tomatoes, going with a fishing rod into the forest and so on and so forth, it's not for me, it's either all or nothing, i can say, i'm a lonely person, in the full sense of the word, but only in this loneliness can one create, therefore significant things can be created only by being... a centered

address object on the main goal, i have now entered a new period of time, a very important one, where i feel a certain surge of strength, and i feel... that things will work out, i sometimes have dreams, they are prophetic, once i dreamed of the virgin mary, that's what happened, what is, and recently i had another dream, probably, it will also be in hand, in short, watch us, look in the vastness of the world, i know where i want.
