5:30 pm
you know, uh, but the do to them see what is the move within the window of the joys project on the internet is merely a video serious because of newly many a. the civilians is a project that tells the stories of people caught in the crossfire without asking for it with move and 50000000 views on youtube especially but but sure that great city, it was no, no sign solo and we've got such a serious nomination hit our projected health about civilians has lived during whole time and mid the whole cities, people still married, become parents, health, take the children to school g, regina, and slaw of a spent quite a long time in the special medical peroration area. so we manage to show how this goes on a sleet and emotionally, but it's hard to watch and mental times especially. but for just it's always been pretty open and almost as lovely saba. and i have been in the special military operation area for around 2 years, filming the life of civilians there and more. for instance, 6, we've guided our viewers through the as of style plant and with the bunkers there,
5:31 pm
we've been the 1st to visit and show one of them. and one of the last, i guess our project is multifaceted. and of course this award belongs to the entire team team. if someone was just looking at congrats on the right of change of pace ahead as we hit the road with the inland visions team for our look at regions just outside law school companies utilize into all the traditions. this is your or to the, [000:00:00;00]
5:32 pm
the, [000:00:00;00] the in a modern type medic world of smartphones and the tech upgrades are chairs, no crafts and hand painted traditions of yesteryear seemed to be fading away. but take a step outside of the bustling metropolis of moscow, and you'll find that the traditional russian, the phone carts,
5:33 pm
culture is still going strong. the we start getting. so i'm not just about a 100 kilometers outside of moscow, where they are known for making a delicious treat called apple castillo, believe it or not, the recipe and technology for making it had been lost and forgotten. but the town rallied and revived their past due, la heritage,
5:34 pm
the 2 plus dealer. you can describe it as a marshmallow. you can describe it as a super flay, but it's not any of those things really. what exactly is a steel? yeah, there were a lot of the apples in the fall and the fruit was processed turned into an apple puree. and then the purity was spread on paper and dried mol. this is essentially medieval canon and that's how the crops were preserved. well, because there were no drawers, no special legs, no modern technology in the middle ages. they did what they could, they could try it out on a rag on a closet. they could put it on glass or on the roof. uh, any way they could get the juice out of the mash apples. so why columbus specifically, why here is it important to revive the sorry, how long ago was engaged in cultivating, producing, beautiful and delicious varieties of apples? how can you tell if an apple is good or not? well, you have to wait for the harvest,
5:35 pm
which is why the orchards were enormous. during the 1st season, there were a lot of crops. columbia was teeming with apples and the people quickly realized that in a couple of months there would be no fruit left to see what needed to be processed and preserved for photo. so colona was renowned for its orchards. consequently, yielding an enormous amount of fruit and russians usually tend to use every thing without any weight stupid. that's why this became a tradition precisely in columbia. you but not in the neighboring old towns. there was no bus to law there because there weren't any orchards. now my understanding of the technology to make us deal of the way you do was pretty much lost and you had to revive that technology. find out how it was done, talk to me about that process. how did you do it a little? it all started out of curiosity, like searching for treasure. well, the technology had been lost. that's cool. what we're engaged in is an intangible heritage. the sense the taste, the wave,
5:36 pm
speaking of the culture of everyday life. and she said, these leading technologies are, undeniably part of our heritage as well. so we embarked on a mission to reclaim this technology with the moon, but it was difficult and the legacy process, it didn't come easily at all of the pure a bond 1st. that big globs onto the ceiling scorched our hands until we discovered in our national library. there were special kessler boilers, basically. essentially, they created this kind of a thermos with the double bottom where water was port in and in these devices, jury was cooked down to a single consistency before being spread out. but when you should, columbia know when to step further than other cities and russia that produce but still on, you know, someone came up with the idea of adding with a white to the apple pureval and the mixture transformed into apple sponge k. i think we like it was white fluffy sauce in europe. there was no equivalent product to we all know about trunk. let's origins and countries like switzerland, belgium,
5:37 pm
france, and so on. however, europe has never made these airy width musty laws and still don't to this day. and that's why we confidently ambitiously say the colona bus to lie airy width post july is 100 percent or national product. more than the technology that has to be a personal buyer for the culture, the people to have the skills to do this, that we're traditionally passed down from generation to generation. how do you revive the culture and the buying to making cost you less well? so as you to the will, traditionally, it was like this, a master and his apprentice in a child at a conscious age 5678 years old, would stand by the master and absorb as this through their scan through their eyes . what the elder was doing with the child was an apprentice, and over time they turned into
5:38 pm
a master. there was no need to formerly teach them. they were learning through observation. the culture of production became ingrained and their consciousness. now it's pretty much the same. there are no textbooks on making columbus to push deluxe, so people come to the production factory observe, and that's how they learn. nothing has changed. it's as old as time. and so currently we have about 30 confectioners working with us. and we hope that this knowledge, these technologies, will never disappear again for another 90 years, as it happened in columbia. and this is technically a sweet confection if you will, but you don't call yourselves confectioners. what do you call yourselves? exactly. i think we're museum curators, cultural experts that you won't be let me explain why. because we don't create just any sweets. we're only interested in what history has since it is what is connected
5:39 pm
to the dna of russia, to the dna of columbia, and talk a way to such a cultural code. it's something that is forgotten and lost to us and undeservedly. so the, so natasha here inside the museum. it's quite unique, but it's a little bit unusual because you don't have exhibits per se. i would call it more of a living museum. tell me what you have here. she is. our medium is taste. we use flavors that now the story is columbia nice to convey the spirit of this place and to share our russian history. so our main exhibit is the collection of historical flavors that we've brought back to life though with you. we've revived old techniques and we're preserving them as a kind of intangible heritage capitalized by the hands of our bakers who maintain
5:40 pm
skills that have the otherwise been forgotten the okay, so i have to ask with everything that is offered today with preservatives, and we have milky way, twix, and all sorts of different things out there to offer. what makes us dealer so special? you know, sometimes people even ask us, what do you put in there that makes it? so it did, which i think the secret is very simple. we overload our taste receptors with flavor enhancers, additives we've become accustomed to the products offered to us by super mortgage. when plus 2, i'll return to cologne, not 10, even 15 years ago. it was a surprise for everyone models. it's natural was low sugar. what attracts women is the absence of flour, fat, and sugar and high concentrations. it seems to me coming here to columbia with the apples and the some of our and just the settings. it kind of takes you back in time
5:41 pm
to a different time. is this kind of your and your goal? we look at the architecture around here. this part of the city seems to be stuck in the 19th century, some provincial town that hasn't quite made it, even to the 20th century. there's history and every cobblestone in every house, even people are not allowed to do whatever they want with their houses here. so even if it's their private property, thanks to this, we have this very russian, very old city to thank you very much. uh, by the way, what i have here in my head is also quite special. let's head to another place and find out more the one of the most recognized designs in russia. the white and blue porcelain of gives you the some even call it the embodiment of the russian artistic spirit. so how does
5:42 pm
a simple piece of cleaning take the form of something so beautiful and delicate the service? hi, nice to meet you. thanks for letting us come in, speak to about this beautiful place. i guess i want to start by asking portland is treasured throughout the world. we have china with their main. we have even delta blue and holland. what makes your pottery here so special when you kind of really good deal is a truly unique tradition. it's blue and white style initially imitated dutch file, and so we, which was imported into russia during p to the great terrain created by ceilings to develop a domestic equivalent to that fashionable dodge country. however, once the cost of living was introduced from the styles and techniques evolved significantly to cool, the painting here has its own style, its own images of the russian artisans paint each flower and every element within it. with the single brushstrokes, we were in
5:43 pm
a provincial safety in the most good wage. and this is essentially a real, real focus tradition. we, the local people have their own perception of beauty, which is linked to the development of this distinctly unique painting style. and now it is said that you here in russia, i have created your own recipe for the porcelain itself. um is that true? and if so, do you still use that recipe today? rush, i did develop its own puzzle in there, but it's nothing important recipe. and what's funny, i can embrace, elizabeth said, don't make the postal into saying, we don't want people to think with skin thing and materials need. both of them was very expensive at the time, but the russia had ample resources. so it didn't really have to make it a little sticker for 4 or 6 also, and typically features a decorative on a mental style with florida athens. so normally the color scheme we mostly used today used the one that was adopted 60 or 70 years ago live with the dominant, the color pair of white and blue. you said it, but we use all the colors as well. do you feel as senior citizens of it's a poor? it's a formula for these paints is all factory secret homes and we develop themselves.
5:44 pm
we find the porcelain at a temperature of 1350 degrees c. and these colors don't the, an out or it's a view these paints alpharetta there in case of beneath a larry blaze, so they stay vibrant and resistance, mechanical damage. and i know that's what makes possible and so unique cam. so expensive. just judging by from what i see here, i'm really anxious to see what else is in store. do you mind shooting us around that? yes. ok. let's go the the english. we have a phrase, i feel like a pool in a china shop with all of this porcelain surrounding me. that's kind of what i feel like right now. but porcelain is very delicate. there's
5:45 pm
a lot of nuances to working with it. um, so what do you do to make sure that all of this stuff doesn't break? what you butler still the, it's very important that the person costing a porcelain piece feels the material and feels how dry or with it is. let's quit going. so it's also important to be good with your hands and 80 percent of our work is manual. so your handiwork is everything that's costing is one of the operations that requires. we'll skill more through what we use plus the modes just like anywhere else in the welcome to technology used in this process is the same as you'd see anywhere you're not going. but if you cut this brute like this, and you're just using your hands to just make sure it's all done properly. this is really have a lot of nice new little them. while the item is where you can do anything you want with it was, you can put the race it to make a nice rim or apply any other style. but you must be careful not to let it dry out
5:46 pm
from once it's dry. you can't do anything with it. when you turn your muses dealer . any craftsman who works with clay is a bit of a sculptor. you have to use your hands constantly to get the right geometry. most of you cut off excess material that will be plaster on handles full spouts. if you're working on a t bought me through, you can also decorate elements with whole figures for pre p as a t populated with a bat. you're going to cost the bed separately and then put it on the lid like this with cruise, car bodies. then you have a bath themes t thought of you know space in the critical chain rule. most, all not technical operations are done by hand, including painting or you would always be stored in the fire, the claims of colors. it's all sort of like magic. let's take a look at one of the most intriguing steps, the work of the artist, the thank you for taking the time
5:47 pm
to look inside your workshops. really fascinating. i guess i have to ask you work in color, and we are used to seeing the go designs only in white and blue, but originally they were all in color. can you tell us a little bit about the history there that that's right, the gel tradition began with mail and it can stay on paint and in a variety of colors. working in color is more difficult because each color needs a special approach. each has a new one system must be taken into account during the process. i don't cuz i know with the cold bug paints it burns off to give it that it goes from black to blue. do the paints in the color version, burn off as well. what's the secret was the, the painting here, the color stays almost the same. that becomes much more vivid right now. so you can see it's almost like a water color of the flyer in the water color effect is gone, the color becomes dense. so. so after this is fired and there's the final glazing. does this mean that your painting, the work that you do here will last forever? the yes, once the item misplaced the image space stuff,
5:48 pm
rather as if in case the boss get position that has to be satisfying as an artist, the wild traditions here are well kept. visual is also getting a modern twist, which is the help of a designer, sarah gate. cecilia, turning it from your grandma's china, to designer ceramics. what exactly inspires you about the show and the visual design exam to show is an ancient russian craft that i felt needed to be revitalized and we explored pdf. and so i studied as traditions deeply and infused them with new life, solomon all across. what about uh, the designs themselves? what was your idea behind these assigned one like trying to look at the traditional things in a new way. for example, i took the classic i guess go, rose baton traditionally painted by old visual artists. what made it launcher and
5:49 pm
turned into the sense of base of the design, the more i found it surprising, the traditional detail painting for me, you never included any representation of wheat heads in his designs me about. so i added that the good and they also added some elements of traditional design patterns were used elsewhere, like on traditional russian summer and winter governments sort of fund supplies. there seems to be a contradiction or maybe a balance actually between old and new. can modern designs actually helped preserve the old true traditions unless they have the capacity to transform and adapt anything to traditional has died with new generation symbol and they have a need to see something they can relate to introduce tional things. now are you going to stickle it's joe, or do you have any ideas about future projects going back to pass and traditional designs working with the issue with my fast folk arts and crafts
5:50 pm
collaboration projects. and after that, i work with those just of autism who produced the most beautiful trays decorated with floral designs, with what i gave them a modern twist to 3. the just of a is a town which has been creating, i kind of trace a well known motif of bright flowers on dark varnished iron sheets has become their trademark. it has been around for about 2 centuries and stage just as it was in the late 18 hundreds. hi. hello. thank you for taking the time to a happy to welcome you talk us through this history. um, so these plates, they have made their way into the collections of the hermitage and they've become famous and they are very beautiful. but how does it go from just being a work of our, to a master piece of russian culture, even in the specials to a painting technique, crates, this unique image. and that's what made. there's also of
5:51 pm
a trace of famous an artist the painter themselves. because each tray is in the creation by an individual artist, no 2 pieces are the same. in essence, when the artist is gone, that particular special design is gone and only leaves in the business he or she left behind, or no one else can reproduce the exact same design. every artist does something unique, and that's also adds to the trays value list. now i know it's not just about the artists, it's also about the metal smith's, and many people go into the creation of one trinity. so how many hands does a products go through until you actually have the finished product that works well . let's see if we're talking about metal trays. then the process starts with a smith, but then warner sure replies the black claire and his 1st they clean and degrees the right and then apply black animal pains or should cut the tray has to be a different color. they apply a layer of colored animal paint on top of that. that's 2 people right before that
5:52 pm
then the tree gets its floral design. that's where the artist comes in. when that is done in different artist adds the gold and borderline pattern using a very small brush and gold paisley. and finally, the tray is varnished again. so that's at least 5 people, but sometimes even more people work on one piece now. so it really is all about teamwork. i understand that this specific type of art is not easy to replicate. what makes this type of painting style so unique? well, there was an outstanding artist which is lovely golf i've always said, do not try to compete with nature. you can never win this competition. nature does things that no artist can do. we think that's why we don't try to replicate nature, but we absorb it and interpret illustrations, turning natural elements into decorations. what we do is the court of interpretation of nature, every tiny detail of it. so this is a pretty impressive piece suggest in terms of a size in scope. um, so i guess i have to ask if you have a name or if you've created
5:53 pm
a name in any sphere, that means there's going to be people trying to imitate what you do. do you have impostors who are trying to bank on your name and how do we know that if for purchasing something we're getting an original from here? no, no, just all are just confirming their skills and technique older life. after you visited our production site and the museum, you'll have no problem identifying the authentic shots of the pieces. the there are only a couple of dozen artists who have mastered this arch every trays unique, painted by hand. the center for letting a is come in and take a look at what you do a close because i've been watching your paint and it is just mesmerizing. um, so i've been told that to paint in the result of a style. you have to live on the soil. what do you think about that gun?
5:54 pm
yes, of course. it helps a lot disagree atmosphere in this place. everything around us is very inspiring and being here as part of the team of artist is like having a family or i know that the result of a brush stroke is its own unique thing. but also the brushes themselves are different from others. can you talk to me about why we use squirrel hair brushes that are made by master brush makers and the town of cuter, they have a factory that makes them. they have unique properties because squirrel hair has to be collected during a particular season, either in the summer or winter. outside of those seasons, the hair loses a certain quality, but also you can see that it's a flat brush that's very thin. if i look from the side, that's what allows us to make these famous visual silver brush strokes. so what about the designs themselves? is there a standard uniform design that you have to follow or do you as an artist get to
5:55 pm
create what you like most and yet we don't have any kind of a mandatory pattern. every artist is free to paint whatever they like for i choose, the designs for my transcript, for my fellow artist will choose whatever designs they would like to paint. that's what makes them all unique. we don't have any standardized patterns or designs trouble. one of the only thing we have in common is the just the style of paintings . just that's what all of us have to stick to it with the style is about where and how we arrange the elements on the tray. and the combination of colors is also important. seeing you, every tree must feature all of the colors, including yellow, blue, white, and pink. to have this best of luck. nobody on the so it takes each artist a lot of imagination to come up with unique designs. within the framework of this
5:56 pm
distinctive style, the the, the victim with them pulling it up with them for the gifts at the side of celia was this because they did just wouldn't care to get through the new year. oh, for g for i teach. so i know for me teaching the scholars that should go and you have to do this, i'm going to look forward to with that to. she's more, it's
5:57 pm
a washing machine. and when you're moving, let's move. i'm on the stairs from 1st month to month, fee amount of water to move. let me look into that. i will just, i get i as well as to the lowest. the did some of that. i'll study to the progressive rock and you see the shortest finish. this is just all just for good news. i'm a fraction of when it comes thing to do friday. you said, i'm gonna tell you the power of people for the, for sure, and shoot me an the temperature of the induction to some of this, the, are my lows us to store, okay. the model grid, i got you. no problem seeing it. i'm out of in the same documents. yeah, side of the drive i showed my brother through he was sudden to help people for
5:58 pm
a lo so now i never look at searches as being the same. well, i guess i lost my list. that's the outcome of chicago police. it'd be the gang chicago is like you get for the police. you lose your life as another crap thing. this could have been a doctor or nurse could have been the next president. we can't keep losing people out here. the, the, the, in the late 18 ninety's, french though it is led by general to boot. i arrived in asia with the goal of expanding french control in west africa to the territory of more than shot. sonia,
5:59 pm
i mean, he's stuck up some new shoes around the custody and dix shown the list to the tent, the food i on the east, one of the most horrific campaigns of atrocities to have ever taken place in the history of the continent. somebody i know the question, richard dental. hey, i'm glad you found the do. so they put the actual most likely multiple villages with devastated a numerous members of resistance groups with the headed olympic apartment for us to get the young investigator in search of his own identity inbox on a journey through africa. the traces general with eyes, blood drenched roots in an effort to establish how your legacy still echoes throughout the confidence. so my name is sam and i come from england and i've come really to find out more about the, the mission,
6:00 pm
hopefully. and the history and the region, the, the, as far as the trial itself, it was very unfair. it's a rigs, there was a rig trial, we wanted a venue change. republican frontrunner donald trump galoshes. all i tell the new york courts offered science and guilty. i'm 34 selling the pulse with me and the 1st, the former us president to be convicted of that cried senior republicans react by taking a email to the american justice system itself, saying it's been weaponized against their presumptive. normally we get opinions from locals on the street, something new york city. we're going to have
