just remembering with a smile these miserable attempts to destroy the canonical orthodox church in ukraine, we will pray for our brothers and sisters on ukrainian soil. let us pray for our country, our russian power, for the authorities, for the armies. we will pray for our relatives and friends tv channels controlled by the zelensky service of raskolnikov during the time where the canonical orthodox church of ukraine was located for centuries, they call the quote historical event. in fact. this raider capture marks the roc picture, which we saw from the kiev-pechersk lavra. where are the eyes. people who have been specially brought there and have no idea about orthodox worship. it was just visible from these video frames. they don't get baptized when people get baptized. well, in general , they behave as if they were the first time. everything was there. this makes an extremely heavy impression. fetish patriarch. yesterday

he called it a devilish temptation. this is actually a capture, but the main shrine, and on ukrainian orthodoxy ukrainian ministry of culture. tries to take away the temples of the lavra under the pretext of expiration and karrenda. however, at the same time, he violates the laws and the decree of his own government, according to which the lease of property during the period of martial law is automatically extended in the canonical church. they emphasized that if the ministry of culture of ukraine does not agree with these norms, then it can go to court, and until then the use of the temples of the lavra by representatives, opts, the current regime remains lawful, realizing the illegality of his own actions , he fears most of all that the indignant believer is simply. raskolnikov was thrown out of the lavra, therefore, about three thousand militants were sent to guard, dmitry bishkevich, a resident of boris, news. the losses of the kiev formations quote huge and incomprehensibly stated vadim prystaiko. it was the ambassador of ukraine to

britain who said that people are losing heights right and left and the west has a unique chance to crack down on russia because, again, kiev is ready to sacrifice its people for territories and the development of the country, honestly recognized the same so convenient for nato power in the world. just not. meanwhile, the ukrainian volunteers said the commanders-in-chief highly zaluzhny because of the heavy losses, forbade sending fighters to the rear for treatment, they claim that an epidemic of tuberculosis has begun in the ranks of the ukrainian army. and at least four brigades, i quote again, are rotting alive in the trenches, and one of the senior commanders asked volunteers. when the fighters will be sent to the doctors, he said. why is no one coming back anyway? and in the lugansk republic , about 13,000 subscribers were left without gas after the explosion on the main gas pipeline in the lutuginsky district, the fire has already been eliminated; it is possible that it was a sabotage in su on

the spot. emergency teams are working, investigators of the victims and threats to residential buildings, no. ceiling collapses in hotel in northern turkey, injuring 10 people it all happened during the premiere of the documentary film in the hall where the emergency occurred, there were more than 200 people on the spot. rescuers and doctors are working. more on our air, a documentary film by arkady mamontov about the history of the novodevichy convent, restoration and the spiritual significance of the abode in a picturesque place in the radiation of the moscow river at the foot of the sparrow hills stands on the vodevichy monastery, an amazingly beautiful architectural ensemble. it is included by unesco in the list of cultural and natural heritage of

mankind, once it was located outside the city. now, almost in the heart of the capital of russia, just 5 km from the kremlin , the monastery was founded in 1524 in the

luzhniki tract on the girl's field by decree of the great moscow prince vasily iii, the prince alabet god that if he takes russian, the city smolensk was captured by the lithuanian principality 110 years before, which would build a monastery. kohl of god i will get my fatherland the city of smolensk land smolensk then i will put up a monastery in moscow in posada 9, and a temple in it in 1514, under the walls of smolensk, two unsuccessful assaults, but then he takes the city and, as promised to god after the victory, gives out 230 kg of silver for the construction of a new monastery the amount was enormous at the time. this is a monument to the victory, uh, back then, uh, it’s not enough that it’s

young, but a state that sought to return to its historical limits borders. i mean, this is the period of the formation of the russian centralized state and uh, it was created in honor of uh the events that happened in 1524. this is the return of smolensk. i think that it was very important, because it was not just the addition of another principality, and it was the return of e. hmm, the territories of the return are so from the disconno russian territories that were already there. well, let's just say, uh, within another state. i mean the grand duchy of lithuania and, probably, it is no coincidence that e decorations and in the frescoes of the most important cathedral at the vodevichy monastery, such subjects were used as on pillars, for example, the image of ancient russian princes. it was a return to the past. from its very

foundation, the vodevichy convent was a refuge for the royal wives, mothers and sisters . this 18-19 century monastery becomes, as it were, an ordinary one, well, with such an ancient history, there is such a feature. at the novodevichy convent. at he had a very secular history in antiquity, close to the royal house and, accordingly, he became a participant in all the events of the war, the struggle for power. the election of the king. here you are , he is also a historical monument for us . and, of course, architecture. at first the monastery, its walls were wooden. it was built as an architectural miniature of the moscow kremlin. but the temples

were originally made of stone, the oldest main cathedral of the smolensk icon of the mother of god repeats the assumption cathedral of the kremlin with slight differences; it was erected by an italian architect oliviz fryazin, beloved court architect of vasily iii simonushakov. the royal painter painted with assistants the walls, the main shrine of the smolensk monastery is the icon of the mother of god and the directory. translated from greek, it means guidebook, this is one of the names of the most holy theotokos, it was this image of e hodegetria that was the main shrine of smolensk before us is a list of the 17th century, the main icon is now under restoration, which is in the iconostasis of the smolensk cathedral, and this is the image. he is always available. eh, muscovites and

for many decades. in general, there was main for muscovites. on july 28, 1525, the miraculous smolensk icon of the mother of god was transferred to the new cathedral with a procession from the kremlin cathedral of the annunciation to the heguments to the monastery. jews. the grand duke was called to suzdal by the monk elena devishkina; she came to moscow none, but with eighteen suzdal nuns five centuries ago, the monk elena wrote a spiritual letter with instructions on monasticism. charter of life, which to this day are the main ones for the nuns of the monastery. save them in your strength, judge them, god, let us hear my prayer, inspire the words of my mouth, i am

rebellious and stronger. everything will tell my soul and you will not offer it, but god is in front of you. god helps me, the lord, the intercessor in my soul, the tradition of evil enemies to my true deeds of yours, i will devour you more. confession of your name, lord, allegedly lava, i, like all sorts of sorrows , delivered me and my son, my enemies. in vain inspire me, god, my prayer and the intransigence of my hearing offensive sorrows in my estimate all in eyes. the enemy of the same is not more sinful than i. the doll is a niche for us iniquity in the wrath of the enemy. my heart is the richest of all. i eat his death attacks on honey, and today in the monastery the traditions of the canons of church art are being revived. the monastic gold embroiderers , according to ancient patterns and technologies, manually create new works of facial and ornamental sewing for church use. the horugvitra of the shroud, and here is the student that we are now embroidering this shroud of 500

liters of the monastery. here is the position in the coffin. here we took a man fell asleep, face, which was embroidered in our monastery. 1.536 and now this shroud is kept in the yaroslavl museum. we went with the girls. with the embroiderers who work here, we went to the museum, everyone looked, like some poems. on what background all this is done, we studied all the techniques. the embroidery is called metallic gilded silver threads. this whole art was equated, as it is written to the painters, and the craftsmanship itself received the second name of painting, with a needle at first glance. unable to determine written work

paints or embroidered with gold. sewing facial sewing, that is, sewing with silk now you see, polina embroiders. this is called face sewing, silk sewing. this is a seam in a split, that is, sho, from whom, a thread is sewn a stitch and splits from below and very, very see, by that. what small small small stitches, olga and tatyana vyalkova are sisters from childhood. they went to the temple to go to the monastery dreamed from their youth . amazing people of the 21st century, their parents accepted and approved their decisions. naturally, it didn’t happen

, it’s just the choice of such a person, sometimes does or something goes there somehow. it seems to me that the lord calls a person, and he and this happens. everything, naturally. they just came to help. we were told that the novodevichy convent had opened. and there is an old mother, and now you just need help, and we studied at the institute and just came in the summer just to help. and so here we are, we understand that we are simply without this place, without a monastery, without this life. we just can't even live hard anymore. i'm not saying there 's some kind of say there's a circle of restrictions of some kind quite a secondary story. well, i never regretted it. that i went to the monastery, never

a single day like that, no matter how hard it was. i didn't have to wow there i do something even once. and here, but happiness still means a good book was found brought by solovkov called the union with happiness and indeed. here is a man who met god and followed him. he already begins the union with happiness. you just need to believe and the determination to follow christ and that's it. in 1.582, in the novodevichy convent, you were tonsured in a cloak or on sheremetyev, after the death of her husband, the son of tsar ivan the terrible, she did not have the right to marry a second time and had to go to the monastery, too, to take care of. she will live

1.596 years buried her in the main. smolensk cathedral, beneath it in the basement or as they used to say in ancient russia in the stairwell , amazing artifacts of past centuries have been preserved, we are located in the oldest part of our holy cloister in the crypt of the smolensk cathedral, where the oldest part of the monastery necropolis is now being restored here, but you can also look see these ancient plates. with a white-stone carving, which says, who is buried here, and here are the representatives of the most noble boyar families of the russian state, the odoevskiye, cunningly cuban, and most of the

burials are female, but there are also male burials, family crypts, now we are passing into the podoltarny part under the smolensky cage crypt cathedral. the world of medieval man was hierarchical and therefore the most honorable. hotel of our monastery, the royal innokene rests in the podoltar part of a relative of tsar ivan vasilievich the terrible, uliana dmitrievna palitskaya, the great book, his daughter-in-law, elena sheremetyeva indeed, these are talking stones, which , uh, we are promised from the depths of centuries for five centuries, too, for example, the tombstone can be read there, nevertheless, it is written by the servant of god

the great prince nikita ivanovich odoevsky 's wife evdokia feodorovna secrets that were hidden at one time. in the temples of this abode, for example, in the altar of the smolensk cathedral there is a small room about 3 m in length for a long time, historians guessed that this was a pantry next to the allerem or that, a deaf chamber without windows and doors, they are not mentioned in any of the historical documents. obviously there was only one thing that existed here. it is quite a long time since the time of ivan the terrible. and during the restoration of the iconostasis , three windows of the wall tabs were unexpectedly opened, and then the

mystery of the mystery of the room was revealed. here here we see. the entrance which is visible behind the late 18th century conostasis, the entrance to the room, which is located in the altars of the cathedrals. this is a completely unique phenomenon that is very rare, to be honest, even here, except for our case, they don’t know other cases anymore, that is, but it turns out that not the isoltar space and from the main space of the temple got into this room. that is, it could not be lighting, but an ordinary person. although it may even be directly grozny if we consider that this building grozny hmm well, just count that this room is for yourself when building a temple room. this is remarkable because here it is located inside the

altar, well, small, but at the same time it has three windows. let's go and have a look at it. this is the room, as i said, that it is quite small here it turns out just a meter. probably three, but in length it is somewhat reminiscent of a stove with this window. here is one window located on the south side, and it is oriented to the altar through the uh entrance to the altar through this window you could see the throne. and one more window is located on the east side, it is oriented towards the altar. well , the third window was located, that is, it is located in the thickness of the northern wall and the price is this room with the space of the gallery, that is, it is just light, so some kind of lighting got there and became the place at the

end of the 16th century where the fate of our russian was determined state in january 1598 after the death of her husband, tsar fyodor ianovich. his widow settled in one of the cells of the monastery. irina godunova is an intelligent, educated woman who made a revolution in the way of life of queens. she actively participated in court life and could claim the throne by becoming the first female ruler of russia, but realizing how tough the struggle for power can be before dunov. he voluntarily accepts tonsure, but actually renounces the royal throne. the head of government is being elected in moscow at that time, a very influential person, her younger brother boris fyodorovich godunov is one of the most likely candidates, but there were others, and boris godunov

, he seems to show everyone i don’t interfere choice problems. decide he goes here with his family. his piety is waiting for the thing to be done in moscow, as if the issue was decided, come here, the boyars report on the decision. here irina feodorovna lived the same way as her predecessors, surrounded by numerous words. what is her cell? this is a two-story building that has survived to this day. she occupied the entire second floor, and there on the second floor, and in addition to her personal quarters, there was a large hall. that's where boris godunov message boyar the question is very serious and did not relied on answering such a complex question immediately. everything must be organized beautifully solemnly and the patriarch organizes a big

procession alexander sergeevich pushkin about his work boris godunov mentions the novodevichy convent and the historical situation that developed when choosing the king of the moscow people together, the city of yelets. watch moscow there he will rule us as before,

muscovites are moving here, for an answer. it will already be february 21, 1598. here, with icons with crosses in their hands, they fill the entire territory monastery. and boris godunov like this publicly gives consent yes, the russians will be the tsar , the rumor is more correct.

the latest data just says that this is still a grozny building. there is an interesting such moment the cathedral was not originally painted. that is, immediately after its construction, there was no painting in it, and painting appeared only at the end of the 16th century under boris godunov. that is, it was directly ordered by boris godunov before his reign. that is, right here he was at the vodevich monastery expected, when he was called to the kingdom and was preparing for this, he ordered the painting of the cathedral. uh, the painting of the cathedral was completed in 1549. this is an imperial painting. well, as was traditional for that time, along with growth, most likely the iconostasis appears in the smolensk cathedral, the original thrust of the iconostasis. this is also a unique unique

phenomenon. this is a special wooden construction into which the faces of saints were inserted. it was used in all ancient russian churches, but for our time. this phenomenon is very rare in the smolensk cathedral, the woodpeckers did not stay long in the 17th century, a new iconostasis was installed in the temple by a lucky chance. the ancient masters did not dismantle the old one, but mounted it on top. of course, when we listened to the icons and saw these diablos for the first time, they were in serious condition. they were very dusty and there was a very thick layer of soot smudges, paint sketches of plaster of some kind of whitewash, and, of course, very hard painstaking work was to be done to remove the dirt. and to strengthen the painting and it's literally a piece of jewelry, when you need to remove

contamination without affecting the paint layer. it was not easy to cope with this, they processed wood, of course, such work is called conservation work in our country. that is, the restorer does not bring anything of his own here. you can see that we left such bare wood, that is, where the soil was lost over time. so we left it. no , not timid, not soil. we have not added here already, a year later. we will put here in this late stas to us we will put icons here again and heat will be closed tsar boris not only orders to paint and decorate smolensky cathedral, but it turns novodevichy than a monastery into a real fortress with 12 towers with hospitals, holes for firing from cannons and squeaks. they were built on the model of the kremlin. the heads of the tower are round in the walls of a square, surrounded by high

strong walls, the monastery was supposed to become not just a new prayer, but not a criminal fortress on the way to moscow, a good location allowed control of three rights across the river, protecting moscow from the southwestern side. in case of danger, they were equipped here from a number of streltsov who held defense. by the end of the 16th century, moscow had created a good defense system for itself; the city had four lines of walls, including the cream or kitai-gorod white city, the border ran from the monastery about 2.5 km to the north. that's where the fourth line of defense was. well, in moscow , roads and the most dangerous directions approached. you understand where the cream is. this is the south, and this is how a kind of ring of monasteries was formed, guarding the post of moscow, and the watchman at moscow said that this line of defense included, well, spassky
