chemistry with strong walls, the monastery was supposed to become not just a new prayer, but not a criminal fortress on the way to moscow. the successful location made it possible to control the crossing across the river, protecting moscow from the southwestern side. in case of danger here, the sagittarius detachments were equipped to hold the defense. by the end of the sixteenth century, moscow had created a good defense system for itself; the city had four lines, walls, including creams. china city white city. the border ran from the monastery about 2.5 km to the north. that's where the fourth line of defense was, but in moscow the roads and the most dangerous direction approached. you understand where the cream is. this is how the south was formed and the figurative ring of monasteries guarding the postupkovskaya, and so they said the watchman's art was part of this defensive line. lord, the old strong

slope, the monastery, danilovsky donskoy and nine. they were at a distance practically from each other visually visible, and therefore a signal of certain situations. it could be transferred. the main santa claus is sber megamarket, this has never happened before, russian cold 150 grams, this rich taste is not visible in

sophia declared, but being the emperor of all russia, peter was growing up and was not going to. just give up, what is the age of majority in those days, married, then everything is adults, that's in 1689. peter themselves. remember he comes to the meeting of the boyars thoughts. just reminds everyone of these old conditions. i've been married for a year now. why is my sister still transmitting in dynamos. now this is what i need. i will not come to a government meeting to sign documents until this is done. and he retires to preobrazhenskoye sofya alekseevna begins the struggle for the throne. she spreads rumors around moscow that parsley was changed in the german sloboda . inciting the streltsy to kill the young tsar, the streltsy rebellion almost succeeded

. peter i miraculously escaped, galloped on a horse to the trinity-sergius lavra and hid. there here a confrontation begins, so dry alekseevna sends an ambassador for a cookie called we need to talk. what happened sir. and the ambassador there remains the patriarch, she asks to go to petra and the patriarch. it remains there. understood, all people were faced with a choice of whom you are now supporting the legitimate sovereign or the already illegal ruler, and moscow, a huge city of 200,000, was deceived there, you won’t confirm your loyalty to the sovereign, you will get into a trial, they understood, and sophia remains the only support. no , very merciful. he sends her here to

novodevichy. the monastery, after some time, the second attempt at rebellion, incited by supporters. sagittarius arrange a rebellion, the famous streltsy, but peter severely punishes the rebels. in this way , 100 people were executed. well, the rest were hanged around the city with an order. they should remember not to shoot the lesson all winter, if, being the temporary queen sophia, she made large contributions to the improvement of the monastery, did not spare money for finishing the decoration of temples, when she appeared, the

assumption church with a refectory the temple was built six-tiered, 72-meter the bell tower at that time the highest in moscow after the bell tower of ivan the great the monastery was rebuilt and acquired the surrounded appearance that has survived to this day. during the reconstruction, archaeologists found fragments of ancient buildings. we saw the original monastery as it existed in the first quarter of the 16th century, when it was created by basil after dinner. we searched for the walls of this monastery for a long time, because in general it seemed to everyone that the walls still coincide with the walls that are now standing down the line since the fifties twentieth century. these are the walls that restorers have been looking for all the time. but as it turned out, it was not at all there, and princess sophia erected walls around the monastery. well, almost parallel to the ancient walls, which

i simultaneously dismantled, of course, because two such lines of walls were absolutely unnecessary to have anything about this wall, which was partly reflected in the first wall in the documents of the seventeenth century. hmm, they forgot, of course, at the end of the 16th century. and after the appearance of the essence, everyone today imagines the monastery as it is, as beautiful as it is. ah, but that that we discovered the remains of the first wall gives a lot. first, we made sure that the monastery really had a stone fence. i would not call it today, perhaps such a powerful fortress wall, but still a monastery and crayons on the fence, and not a wooden one. she really had towers. anyway, two corner towers and seats. they had to be discovered in this way the monastery received its original territory, which was one third less than the modern modern heritage. very big actually. so the original was here for three

somewhere at 20-25 m in the depths of the thunderstorm of 1812, borodino, the abandonment of moscow by russian troops, the arrival of napoleon, all moscow churches and monasteries were occupied. with narrow occupiers , the conquerors hoped to find treasures and large food supplies there. but they were greatly disappointed with the value, they did not find it, and the food supplies did not last long. in the end, napoleon left moscow before leaving, the french desecrate , ruin and burn russian shrines, the emperor gives the order to bury the novodevichy convent in large quantities in barrels in boxes. and uh, leaving the monastery, the philanthropists of the convent set fire and the senior at that time nun sara

nikolaeva organized the sisters and monastic servants, and indeed a fire was discovered, flaring up or burning, and it was quickly produced. the flooding with water is all thanks to the efforts of this nun sarah, who was preserved in the anals of the monastery. e, as one of the heroines, e historical year 917, the bolsheviks, expelled the nuns from the monastery, the necropolis was almost completely destroyed by the nun, who survived during the arrests of the fires settled around the monastery in small houses and from afar were baptized and prayed at the walls. this abode was inhabited by two hundred cadets from the

people's commissariat of enlightenment a little later. another 300 workers of petrograd. this is a convent, and many lived near the monastery, stayed here and went to the temple, one church. this is the abrosievskaya church. she remained here, as a parish, for a long time, until the end of the thirties, when everything was completely closed, the soviet government finally closed the monastery and created a museum there for the emancipation of women in the thirties. the monastery became a branch of the state historical museum and remained so until 2010. this is what allowed the unique architectural ensemble of the monastery to remain almost untouched, but a holy place is never empty even during the great patriotic war, and when joseph began to give

indulgence to the church, the monastery came to life autumn forty-three. church life begins to revive in him. theological courses open here. a year later, the theological institute, then transformed into the moscow theological seminary and academy in new sixties. the hiv monastery is the residence of the metropolitan of krutitsy and kolomna, but monastic life resumed here only in the mid-nineties. and only recently, in 2010, it was decided to transfer the shrine to the moscow party. on may 6, 2019, on the day of st. george the victorious , a significant event took place in the novodevichy convent, a religious procession took place, in which the elected president of russia vladimir putin took part.

saphon in 1648. the icon was kept in the historical museum. after the revival of the monasteries, it was transferred to the russian orthodox church and did not accompany our ancestors for centuries both in peaceful labors and in various campaigns, including during the liberation of smolensk . i convey our moral values ​​with a feeling of joy. this icon of the russian orthodox church, let it serve and

help people. the present in the temples of the novodevichy convent, divine services are continuously going on. let us pray to the lord, we all pray for help to our army government, and to these, of course, so that as soon as possible the world peace in christ and all that we now have is from the fact that many people have turned away from god, we see that the heart of every person and

the whole human society is really. these are two forces fighting in them for good. and evil. that's what good is - this is understandable. the main commandments are all do not kill your neighbor. the first and main commandment, and insofar as humanity does not observe these commandments, it gets carried away. here is a bloody confrontation. and if in most of humanity, would have turned specifically to christ and would have made a sacrifice of thanksgiving, a bloodless sacrifice that is performed at the liturgy, then there would not be such terrible sacrifices now. they would not have been in 2015, restoration work began here, but before that, archaeologists and artists, centimeter by centimeter, explored all the buildings and the territory of the monastery and it was decided to

restore its original appearance by updating engineering communications, the last time such a global, architectural restoration took place in the monastery more centuries ago. for several years, work has been underway in the oldest temple of the monastery, the smolensk cathedral. the walls are painted, the domes are updated and the crosses are repaired by the roofing of the window bars. the restorers have moved inside now the temple from the bottom to the top, in the scaffolding. millimeter by millimeter, with special tools, specialists clean from centuries of accretions and restore the 17-meter iconostasis already reinforced with gilding, the gesso iconostasis is primed to the recreated elements. threads. now we are at the final stage , now we are working on locking conducted hmm with the help of gold leaf, that is, initially the iconostasis was gilded

with gold leaf. now we are fragments of wear. we recreate by applying created gold, that is, arena gold, what is this same social gold, taken with leaves, rubbed with homers arabica, and then from a brush they are already applied to elements, carvings and constant this is our temporary fund storage, where now during the restoration of the novodevichy convent , icons from the great iconostasis were placed of the smolensk cathedral on the vodevichy monastery, these are the contributions of the three royal houses of the russian rurikovich to the year of the new and romanovs in front of you

the earliest. and most importantly, the image of the large iconostasis of the smolensk cathedral is the temples in the icon of the smolensk mother of god of asia, which, according to its adhesives, is exactly dated as the treasure of tsar ivan vasilyevich the terrible nadevich . it is very thin and does not work at all and a variety of jewelry techniques that retain such a solemn look my style looks, that is, it is his first shrine foundation generally, well, clothes. the next one is also an icon, which still belongs to the end of the 16th century. this is an icon of the russian saints boris and gleb, which is considered the contribution of boris fyodorovich godunov a to the novodevichy convent, and finally the icons that you can see here, this icon is associated with the third and brightest period in the history of the monastery. well done that the monastery this

period is associated with the end of the xvii century. the beginning of the reign of peter the great, the triple triple reign of his brother ivan alekseevich and tsarevna alekseevna, these icons are contributions to the eighties of the xvii century, associated with the house of the romanovs. artists clean the frescoes of the 16th-17th centuries from the later layers. this is a very delicate work, difficult and the result is sometimes unpredictable. you and i are in the central skofia of the smolensk cathedral of the novodevichy convent, apparently with you the image of god the father jesus christ and the holy spirit for restoration. here is this volume. we spent more than 3 years, that is 2 years. we were engaged in the fact that we

were already revealing this from under many layers. from under the record, there were then technical operations such as strengthening the paint layer. i removal of old restoration rates in the performance of the loss of the plaster base. and now we have the same final process. this is toning, bringing it into an expositional form in this complex with us. part of the preservation of the author’s from the 16th century’s crust layer and we presented, as it were, here, er, after all, the whole skufia for the 16th century. we did not expect that there would be such safety, because during, uh, the first ascents into this volume, as everything was under a layer of oil painting and late tinting, it turned out that we would not find it. here is the sixteenth century. it is possible that with kuv. i'm all over plastering, but no, she's very lucky. and now we can see with you all the painting of the sixteenth century. cathedral painting

was updated more than once, plastered over, then painted over again, sometimes with a change in plot, it changed and the architecture of the temple was transferred, the limits were laid and windows were cut through, and yet in a miraculous way. now the artist manages to discover an ancient painting from the time of tsar boris godunov, untouched by time. and often we come to church there, and we cannot distinguish. where is the old painting? and where the tinting is also rational, and here in our task is just so that specialists and a simple person, who is interesting, who looks carefully, can immediately see where the training is. and where is the author's painting and very important. our task is not to turn the author's painting into painting into a postcard into something that has long ceased to exist by our training, namely to express it and show all the past centuries that it has lived and the air that has color in it all, so that she continues to tell us,

all the same stories and all her life, despite our work in the process of toning, it is very important to avoid direct reconstructions, because here you can see very well here, but a lot of lost eyebrows. there are some parts of the chin, some folds and certainly having formations. we all have. artistic formations we often know, of course, where this fold or this turn could be , but if we draw here, we will draw letters here. this will be a painting xxi century, and not at all the sixteenth, as we would like, and very often just the most difficult task. it is to completely destroy the artist in oneself, it is to force oneself not to finish painting, not to invent, not to make the appearance that it has been preserved, because , uh, then i can draw, and then who will distinguish it. and this, uh, author's curl

or not? and here it is very important not to finish drawing, because i drew in one place. i want to draw a halo. then i want to draw here, here, draw parts of the cross, and we already get completely to me ancient painting. but because in general, in a sense, maybe it sounds like a country, but this painting is already good, even with its losses, even with exactly what kind of life it lived. and here is the fact that it has been preserved in the form in which this great happiness exists. but the main thing, of course, is not these legendary stones, the main thing is the spirit of the monastery, which is created by its rapist nuns today in the monastery, only 30 sisters get into the monastery. not as easy as before, sisters can remain novices for years, testing the firmness of intention before will receive a haircut. monastic life

has changed little over hundreds of years. here they still live according to the canons of the spiritual charter, compiled by the first abbess of the reverend or on the moscow main pillars of the world order in a suggestive monastery, as before, prayer, labor and obedience in the museum are still. we still live in a holy place by the sea. here is more. so, it seems that we have a very good beautiful. today we talked

about happiness. look for the union with happiness, the most important thing, it seems to me, especially in our time, our life is difficult and you just need to find it to see him, and we often bypass this union and do not notice some obvious things that are necessary for us because of the fuss and because of some internal problems from everything nearby. just take it. today, in these ancient temples, continuous prayer sounds gratifying that people come here not only to enjoy the beauties of this amazing architectural ensemble, but to pray to turn to god with an ardent request or gratitude. and this is probably the main thing that determines the life of the monastery today.

we look to learn the world of educational we watch programs and documentaries for free without registration.
