a film company in the studio as much of the other go he also has to build some models for a film but he didn't say exactly which film it was going to be. shortly before the phone call powerful had read the whole novel by the british author sessile scott forrest it was clear from the list of ships that he was being asked to do his bit for an ad. taishan book. got to go with it but he said right away though that it was about see battles cheering the napoleonic wars so were there no more to. serve even that small bit of information narrowed it down forests and forrester was the first name that sprang to mind for their. customers were impressed by the ability of petra's of ship builders to identify the historical background by word of mouth alone the boats for the hornblower sequel which were built in petrus of votes one two emmy awards.

this is the old. building rowing boats as well as models was quite a challenge to force it up whether we had to have a lot of archive material to be able to make english and french vessels. were then we were also told that british audiences can be quite sophisticated. but they have no difficulty telling an industry it from a french one. into puzzles shipyard less than a year to build eleven replica vessels in four full scale rowing boats dating back to the late eighteenth century. the collingswood done by restores the keiji museum . itself a year to complete the job it was and we build models with sales channel and

carvings. since. some of the ships launched in petra's of all skin the past years are already part of modern history a museum in the siberian town of circuit is playing with the idea of enriching its collection with a replica of a boat it was made in victor dimitri of shipyard in petra's avoids almost twenty years ago at the request of a russian film company. the vessel is an exact copy of a sixteenth century cost but. so you have replaced this part here yes excellent now the blanks here please. replica was featured in a film about the legendary. the man who conquered siberia. this is a natural will sew it up into four sections to separate it in the midsection and then put it all back together in the museum. sometimes victor and

compete for clients on other occasions they combine forces on joint projects. one of the employees is showing the monk how the project is progressing. a song oh good day i was a go a lot of money everything's fine. have you finished in the decade. but let's install the gas tank here. maybe let's put it there. with all the other equipment has been linked up and. like the engine control. right now dimitri company is working on boats ordered by theodore to the monks idea was to use three replicas of ancient russian boats to retrace the waterway that links russia to the balkans in the eleventh century. life

has lost that precious kernel that used to be at its very core the joys of creation learning and discovery it's what we hope to be able to revive those values by organizing what we call the journey from russia to the land of the serbs. since then they turned to me to have built some fifty vessels the shipyard launches new boats on a reg. the basis in purchase of votes victor is known by the nickname. some of the monks specially ordered boats are ready to test on the water accompanying the monk on his trip all historical enthusiastic their aim is to reach the shores of keiji island to take part in a special performance. a

built so far. they have been tried out in both the. white sea and in two of europe's largest lakes. and lot of alexei vala boy the job of took part in both trials. at the fleet is a completely unique experience it's nothing like what you're used to back in town you don't need to take ten calls or write five hundred e-mails here you need to know how to set a sail in the nick of time. float your vessel if it runs aground well with all that completely changes your mindset and even helps you to find your purpose in life or favor which with. the scent nicholas has safely reached keiji island with tourists on board. tomorrow one of the main events of the year the kishi regatta will take place. yeah

hang the ladder up to the right side. seven old men from two katka are going to take part in the first key genre. they're building a traditional church she cut back on a nearby island. these days to use only small car yorks for hunting at sea but in the old days large kayaks like this one were used for to hunt for whales and walrus like. this one here is to be gaia. maxime to new and six companions spent more than two days on that journey from to cut cut to keep they travelled by train and steamboat the team had brought with them one hundred fifty kilograms of war skin which they were going to use to make a boat but they were in for a disappointment at the end of that journey from there with the first unfortunately

each wallet in transit because we didn't stored properly. nevertheless the churchy craftsman managed to find an alternative. they replaced the natural skin of a common chukchi war us with plastic. kayak was ready to use a day before the race. so we turn it around no we'll turn it around when we get to the water. he is an island on lake a nigga. here is a unique museum of would not the texture your life. the collection includes dozens of structures some of them more than two hundred years old. one of the buildings dates back almost five hundred years. more recent structures are

found on the coast guard such as appear to visitors. but for the most part the island looks just like it did one hundred fifty years ago. outsiders can only come here either as tourists or as participants in the keiji regatta which is held once a year. the participants in the balkan expedition being organized by month it insists on historical fund to city their sporting armor and learning how to wield mediæval weapons. wooden boats and sailing vessels standing side by side with three hundred year old wooden churches strengthen the illusion of a journey to the times when timber was the principal building material here.

that's another of our traditional. russian i could tell actual reasoning this is because the main constructions have been made without the brilliant peasants so to make do without because they cost a lot of money here is that artists such roofs for instance there are piles of churches. in both houses and like everybody else who would. 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 they were indispensable church. 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 of being gradually replaced

since two thousand. now the church is almost suspended in the air because of the restoration work on its foundation. to 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. so through the most part this means that the building assumption doesn't get in the way as we work on the foundation. one of the first bell ring is in post communist russia is cycling briskly to make sure he reports for the welcome time. these hundreds the bells and three of the t.g. church for almost two decades there are only

a few places in the world where the sound of bells can spread far and wide without echoing off of the surface and it is impossible to confuse the chime of bells with any of. this everything here now is just as it was in the eighteenth and nineteenth century there's no noise of the kind you find in the city. today the bells sound as they did a hundred or two hundred years ago because they're not drowned out by noise. and the water also helps the chinese travel over long distances. trying different depending on whether the secular holiday is being celebrated igor who says the villages sometimes even danced to the sound of bells. and improvise ation on the theme of festive choice but i mean normally this stall is not intended for people marching in
