a journey to the times when timber was the principal building material here. all were traditionally russian architecture reasoning this is because the main constructions have been made without the really peasants sought to make do without nails because they cost a lot of money. such roofs for instance were part of churches because of us bonds but houses and the like of a woman. this is the source of the legend claiming that the keys e churches were built without a single nail in the in reality only the walls and roofs were made without using nails and they were indispensable church terms nowadays children play with building blocks know only too well how the walls were built this technique makes restoration much easier damaged parts of the transfiguration church i've been gradually

replaced since. now the church is almost suspended in the air because of the restoration work on its foundations. but this is a begin with we needed a good foundation the lower part was taken away to be restored we put up a new stance and disassembled part of the church this is the lifting system of complete with lifting jacks. it works just like this. puts us there were none of this means that the building as such doesn't get in the way as we work on the foundation says it's. one of the first bowring is imposed communist russia is cycling briskly to make sure he reports from welcome time. these hundreds the bell is
