[000:00:00;00] my childhood came, the village was already dying out, when we started the project in 2006 , only 5-6 families lived here, and when they took on the seven hundred in the 20th year, only three families remained here, today most of the houses have already been restored, but there is still a lot of work to be done. with the onset of full-scale war, construction slowed, but was sure to continue. everything is ready in the house, all that remains is to deliver the furniture and connect the plumbing, and we just haven't had time yet. if fromushyk had to rebuild a new house from scratch, simply restoration was enough here, everything was like that, only the roof was changed and repairs were made, and so no redevelopment, the houses are as they

were before. oleksandr andriyovych said there will be a museum in this building. as i understood, he will collect photos of all the residents of the seven hundred who lived here before, we will look there, he said, we will also think about what will be there, in general. by design, it should become a place where, for example, the people of aitiv could come for a while and live with their family. thus, this place could create its own small commune, where people live, work, visit each other, share ideas, and when you want to relax, eat delicious food or go fishing, fromoshika nova is just a few kilometers away. a village development plan has already been developed, one more street for 100

houses. there are still plans, but obviously the war is holding us back from implementing them, but i think the time will come. it is quiet there , for example, 100 people come to frumushyk, some want to rest, and some want to have fun. if someone wants to rest, why not settle in a seven hundred and rest peacefully, quietly, sipping wine or tea from medicinal plants that grow in our steppe, and not on... has become a family affair, the farm and winery

are already taken care of by children. there is a staff that monitors the houses and the museum, something new constantly appears on the territory , sometimes it is his fault, then the museum of agricultural machinery, then a park of stone sculptures created by artists from all over ukraine, and here they installed a giant monument to chaban, the largest shepherd monument in the world, where did the idea come from, there was once a maya tribe, when i was on an excursion on easter island, i thought, after all, the tribe went into oblivion, but it left something behind, and why can't we do something similar in frumušytsia, especially since this is a monument to chaban. now we say that this is a monument to my grandfather. the shepherd is a truly special figure for bessarabia, as sheep breeding is a centuries-old traditional occupation for the region. we claimed the

guinness book of records, appealed. with the fact that we want to build a monument to chaban, at first it was designed to be ten meters long and they confirmed it, started a personal case, but we built it, we got 17.94 together with basis, they worked to get ahead, for some reason they decided that it would be better to make it bigger, and so it turned out to be 17.93 or 94 cm, 1170 tons, this is together with the foundation. in the winter of 2016, the monument was brought to the national register of records of ukraine, and in 2017 it was registered in the guinness book of records. but the monument is impressive not only by its size, but also by the material from which it is made. the monument itself is granite made from labradorite. this is one of the strongest types of granite. it is mother-of-pearl,

it is so semi-expensive. very difficult, a lot of different technical things, the technique was working, concrete was being transported, the cars overturned with these blocks, the car is moving, it seems that the road is dry, there are 20-25 tons in the car, well, there are 30 tons, 40 tons on top, and at this time the car is just in front of my eyes, it starts to sag, oh, very there were a lot of interesting things, although in winter there are usually few people in frumušytsia novy, in february 2022 it was filled with people and became more than just a tourist attraction. now, when the war started, already on the second day , on the evening of february 25 , there were more than 60 adults and 20 children here in fromušytsia. i believe that

it was worth building formushika and restoring it, if only so that these children would not hear the sirens, and to minimize their risk of being hit by missiles. glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, this is an example of traditional architecture. i am from odessa, who is used to the steppe, to the sea, so if this is a traditional southern division , it struck me, namely this village, which is called the odessa carpathians, or odessa

switzerland, when i got here, to these hills, i looked at this architecture, i really liked it, i decided to buy a cottage here . traveling with the expedition, we heard many stories of young couples. who moved to the village from big cities, but everyone has their own motivation, some move to restore their parents' house, which is standing empty, some , on the contrary, never had their own childhood memories of life in the village and want to create them at least for their children, and some , like dmytro with hope, was inspired by the idea of ​​preserving the traditional culture of a certain region, which is slowly being lost. we met in this house of ours, nadiya and i, in 2008 i organized an expedition to the ivan hanchar museum. and very beautiful girls came, and among them was the most beautiful nadia, here we are in this house , conducting an expedition to study the traditional cultural heritage, we

met nadia, and in the same year we decided to get married and have a traditional wedding of this region. both of us, two city dwellers, moved to the village and started farming. the idea, which began with the restoration of the ethnic homestead, eventually grew to its dairy production and another six hectares of its own farm. but the most important property remains the houses that were saved. and knowledge about them, which was gathered throughout the region. this village is unique in that everything is built from this. there are limestone stones, very hard, very strong, because here everywhere under the layer of the earth, everywhere even on the surface, there are layers of limestone, they were previously

cut by stonemasons, and everyone built houses and everything related to the economy from this stones, here is this ravine, higher up there, the firemen hit this stone, and when a very strong downpour washes away a very strong one from the fields... and this stream goes, it is called locally a cloud and it stones are brought from above, you see, this is scattered, this is all brought from there. here, these stones used to be bound with clay, but if it was not at hand, they made chamur, that's what they call chernozem mixed with water. this house, for example, was not built on clay, but the stones were fastened with earthen clay. from the village of... rabove to the border with moldova is less than 10 km, so historically not only ukrainians, but also moldovans lived here, which of course also affected the local architecture,

this is a region on the border, so there is a peculiar regional culture, this northern division, meets transnistria, with the influence of moldova, its own unique and regional culture is formed, here on the border, for example, in the house there is a large room, a hall, maybe in some regions it is called, there the family gathers for dinners, for christenings, for weddings, for some holidays, this hall here in our village is called kasamara , translated from moldavian it is a big house, a moldovan, dimitru’s grandfather, built this house, this is what they told us, and grandmother vera, that's how it is orally tradition has told us this, most likely it was built before the second world war, that is, somewhere in the 30s, but it was rebuilt many times, because

the owners of this building changed and, accordingly, they completed the second half after the war. 60s. before the second world war, all the roofs in the region were covered with rye straw, like everywhere else. and after that, the richest houses began to be covered with a prototype of slate. the squares were like that, very thin. this house before construction, this house of ours, the second house, that's what it was like covered with tiles, and my grandfather remembered that he said that everyone ran from this mogala, from this area of ​​the village, it is called, by the way, here is the magala, they ran to see how such a tanka, such a thin roof, so thin, and the rain does not reach the attics, that is why that earlier everything was made of very thick rye straw, and then after the war such a small workshop appeared in this village, which made such cement only later appeared, mostly the roofs were covered

with slate. when dmytro bought the hut, it was in a dilapidated state, therefore, before before moving in, it first had to be somewhat reconstructed and added amenities. the sewage issue was solved, water was brought in, the interior was modernized, but all the main traditional elements of local architecture were still preserved. for example, this front door, we photographed it in a traditional house and it was recreated by a modern carpenter, this is the decor of this front door. dmytro lives with nadiya and children in the same house, and tourists come to rest at the bilochi ethno-mansion. now we are in this house, which was still built.

before the second world war, if a traditional, traditional house, it should consist of two, two halves , this barracks, a cold half and a warm half, where people spent the winter, where the stove stood, but here already at the time when we bought a house, it was no longer there, so if we tried to preserve as much as possible what was there, but to do it in such a way that the people here would be comfortable. to rest, well , from the traditional and very ancient one, i pay attention to yours, to this window, you see this is a window, which i understand to have a ritual function , it is not for lighting, these windows are for lighting , this is a window, it is for the sunset, eh, this is a window through which the souls of the dead come and the dead leave, this is such a ritual function, this is traditional, the furniture

that we collected around the village, they are called scoops , you see, you can store them there like in a chest and sleep on them on these scoops. this is the tree of life, the main symbol that is present everywhere on traditional weaving, embroidery, in this rug, for more than 100 years, this clearly, because already in the 20th century, such ornamentation was not done, and it is simple. well, it was very burnt, but it was also dyed with vegetable dyes , so i bought what was left from people, and here you can see, the blue is real indigo, the dyeing was done here by the jews, all the women who were engaged in weaving, they carried, here in moldova there is such a very ancient town, rashkiv, that is where the jews of rashkiv engaged in the formation of

threads, for these kilometers. over time, the fascination with local culture grew into a large-scale ethno-festival, which was attended by people from all over the world. of ukraine. the idea was to discover, in general, that unique, traditional culture of southern podillia, kodem region, which no one knows about, scientists always talk about. odessa, odessa is a white spot, there is nothing there, everything is russified there, nothing is russified here at all, here is a unique culture, here the traditional in the neighboring village has been preserved. almost to our time, a completely traditional outfit that only existed in this village, unique cuisine, unique architecture, unique traditions, weddings, funeral rites, wedding ceremonies, baptisms and such, such and such, that's all we wanted to show at this festival and tried to do it for the first few years,

while we were doing it, with the beginning of a full-scale war, the case of dmitry and nadia began to suffer. crisis: tourism disappeared, ethnic plantations began to be empty, and the number of orders for dairy and cheese products dropped to a minimum. i am now appealing for anyone who can help to support our production. unfortunately, there are hundreds of such stories in ukraine today. small and medium-sized businesses are closing, people are losing their jobs, but at the same time, architectural landmarks are also being lost, which barely had time to restore. unique. and the villages continue to disappear, this is the internal front, and this must be understood, if we simply cannot hold it now, we will turn, what do we do, and just leave it all, it is the same with the zarostegerniks, it will be robbed, this is our

ten, summer work , it will, well, come to naught, that's all, somewhere time destroys old houses, and somewhere rockets and artillery shells of the occupiers. due to the russian occupation , we did not get to many places that we wanted to tell you about. for example, about a house the museum of the artist polina rayko, in oleshki , kherson region, and about the popov manor reserve museum in vasylivka, zaporizhzhia. with the beginning of a full-scale war. we, ukrainians, have realized that our houses, our churches, our palaces, our entire cultural heritage are also under the sights of the occupiers. the russian army intimidates cultural workers, robs, takes away or simply destroys valuables, and mercilessly

fires at museums. in the zaporizhzhia region, near melitopol, the russians mined the territory of a unique monument of geology and an archaeologist of world importance, a stone grave, it is the only place in all of eastern europe where non-rock painting from the late paleolithic to the middle ages has been preserved to this day. in melitopol, russian troops looted the local history museum, from which they took away the collection of skivsky, hunsky and sarmatian gold. currently in the annexed crimea, the russians are dismantling the roof and the ensemble of circular stained glass windows of the unique crimean-tatar architectural monument, the khan's palace in bakhchesarai, in addition, they are destroying crimean tatar buildings of historical importance, and not only in the south in ukraine, throughout the country, the situation with cultural monuments is critical. hundreds of unique objects have been distorted and destroyed,

but we will definitely restore each one as soon as we return all our territories. and though although we did not manage to go with the expedition to vasylivka, we were able to visit the other side of the dnieper, in zaporizhzhia. in some villages near the city, we found some interesting folk houses. each time gives birth to its own folk architecture, which comes from available materials, financial opportunities and the general context, which surrounds this or that house. at that time , construction material. this is the father's idea. in soviet times, building materials were expensive, and in terms of volume, a brick and a bottle were the same size, and a brick cost more than 20 kopecks, a bottle - only two kopecks. that's how dad got the idea. besides, he wanted

to create something unique. he saw somewhere abroad a shower made of bottles. he wanted to try this method. mother refused, but he very much. sought to make the house the most unusual of all. it was built in 1968 my parents, in 2002 we decided to rebuild it, complete it, and then renovate it, because it is very old, in need of repair, and therefore we decided to insulate it, and to... come up with some new option, not like everyone else's, and we decided to make something like this from pieces of tile... to buy a cheap tile and cover it with some kind of pattern

, we went to the shops, the price was prohibitive for us, we agreed with the guys that we could take just a block of tile, they told us, please , take it out, these are your problems, we took out this tile, started cutting, started glue, we will get the beginning, that's all, and that's how we insulated it, it's warm in the house. life goes on, so we will finish everything. as vasyu, he drank an antibiotic, so he used an antibiotic, he drank probiz. gavrilo, you are also sick, sick , i drank an antibiotic, i took it to your stomach, there are discounts on pump pills, 20% in pharmacies, plantain, bam and savings. espresso

point of view remain. every week, the saturday political club helps to understand the processes taking place in ukraine and the world. vitaly portnikov, host of espresso and invited experts, based on facts, give their assessment and forecast of the development of events. do you want to understand how our today will affect our tomorrow? see saturday politics club, every saturday on espresso. hello, this is svoboda ranok, an informational project of radio svoboda. top guests every day, this is the shipping district, kherson. turn on live. we are somewhere in the vicinity of bakhmut. we tell the main thing on weekdays at 9:00. the war in

ukraine is the main topic for ukrainians. wins and losses, analysis and forecasts, politics and geopolitics. serhiy rudenko and the guests of his program will talk about all this. people who have information and shape public opinion, people who defend ukraine and create the future right now. the main and interesting thing in the verdict with serhiy rudenko program. from monday to friday at 8:00 p.m. they called out to their own, relatives, friends, called out to relatives, friends, said: we are collecting the bottles were demolished by relatives, friends, neighbors, everyone, we first stored them in the basement, then the basement filled up, we started storing them in the garage, then they were washed. they sorted, selected, because not all bottles were suitable, they needed identical, thick-walled ones, and so

bottle to bottle, tied with a wire and then joined in parts. a country residence made of bottles was not only a way to save on building materials, it was also a dream to create something unusual. this glass fortress took about 20 years of life and more than 600 bottles. father, mother, father. and mother were always there. dad, when he retired, spent most of his time there, on construction, and we only had time to serve, sometimes mortar, then bricks, then a bottle. all the youth there flashed in the country. folk architecture is not about advanced technologies and fashion trends, it is about the desire to have one's own home, warm, comfortable, inexpensive and unique, and building one's own house is always a family affair. around which there are bound to be arguments, but which ultimately unites

the family? at first there were, the son took it all in stride, not beautiful, not fashionable. they are now everyone is used to it, everyone comes, looks, says, well, it’s normal and it’s warm and it doesn’t rain, it’s better than anything else , vacationers come to someone’s place, relatives come here to take pictures, and go into the yard, that’s all, when you start seeing what comes out makes you fall in love even more and want to... work harder and harder to see it through. maybe it was possible to quit, of course, at first you think why do i need it, i want to rest, go for a walk, now i understand that no, it is the soul of the family, i am grateful to my father for such a gift, for his gift,

for his soul. you see, we turn around on the spot, vylkovo is a unique settlement in bessarabia, the architecture of which is different among all, because the town stands right on the water, or rather - on the danube delta. we are in vylkovo , the lowest settlement on the danube river, a ukrainian settlement, there are no roads, no settlements beyond zabylkovo, 300 meters from here all roads on the left bank of the danube end, for

many centuries it was impassable here. and locality. now the town has grown to incredible proportions. vylkovo has hundreds of islands and hundreds of canals. the danube is the most turbid, naturally turbid river in europe, with an average of 400 g of silt in each cubic meter of danube water. and annually, the danube carries 200-220 cubic km of water. it's natural turbidity, it's not pollution, it's natural turbidity. out of millions of tons. new land, new territories are formed from this silt, and people are already raising a little higher to get out of the swamp and build their estates, in velkovo built on swamps, built by hand, and this area claims the largest dry land, artificial, made on

swamps, made without machinery, by hand. and this was still dug with a shovel, that's why a little water has caught up here, go through it, look at jericho, this is our street, yerek is a water street. people climb waist-deep in the river, of course, in the summer , when it's warm, they start with their hands, they dig a piece of the block from this established, let's say fir, the board is standing here. on here on the board such a yorse it is slippery, we will talk on the shore, here they are building a bridge this piece, it was all piled up, the soil is taken out from here and this area is raised, it turns out beautiful and practical, because it is quite, quite

expensive to bring in the soil from the side, that is, it turns out that the most important feature of the place... building a hut is that before you build a house, you must first create an island of land on which it will stand, and this has been done for generations, this has been done for 220 years already by forks, here was made by a sharpshooter, made a smokehouse, first, a fisherman who came here, the first settlement here, then, the children grew up, there was no electricity, there were 9 to 1 children in the house, so as soon as the boys grew up to 16 years old, so that no stupid thoughts came into their heads, they gave a shovel and
