was founded in 1524 in the luzhniki tract on the girl's field by decree of the great moscow prince vasily iii, the prince vowed to god that

if he takes a russian city, will smolensk be captured? tovsky principality for 110 years before that to build a monastery? if , by the will of god, i get my fatherland, the city of smolensk, smolensk, then i will set up a maiden monastery in moscow on posada, and there is a temple in it. in 1514, under the walls of smolensk, the prince fights two unsuccessful assaults from the lithuanians, but then vasily iii takes the city and. as promised to god , after the victory, he gives out 230 kg of silver for the construction of a new abode. the amount was huge at that time. this is a monument to, uh, victory , uh, then, uh, it’s enough not only for the young, but for the state that sought to return to its historical 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 it was very important, because this is not just the addition of another principality. and this was the return, uh, the territory of the return so from the disconno russian territories that were already there. let's just say, uh, within another state. i mean the grand duchy of lithuania and, probably, it is no coincidence that their decorations are also in the frescoes of the main cathedral itself. novodevichy convent used such subjects as on the pillars, for example, the image of ancient russian princes. it was a return to the past. of his own the foundations on the vodevichy monastery was a refuge for the royal wives, mothers' sisters,

it was very prestigious, therefore, yes, and that's what they called the court monastery of the royal abode in the 16th-17th centuries, in the 18th-19th centuries the monastery becomes, as it were, an ordinary, well, with such an ancient history is a feature of the novodevichy convent. it had a very secular history in antiquity, close to the royal house. and, accordingly, he became a participant witness to all the events of the war, the struggle for power to get out of the king. here you are please it 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 but the temples were originally made of stone, the oldest main cathedral of the smolensk icon of the mother of god repeats the assumption cathedral of the kremlin with slight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 the italian architect aliviz fryazin, the favorite court architect of vasily iii, simon ushakov shrine of the monastery smolensk icon of god the mother of the odgria. translated from greek means guidebook, this is one of the names of the most holy theotokos, this particular image, and one hydra was the main saint not of smolensk before us is a list of the 17th century, the main icon is now under restoration, which is located in the iconostasis of the smolensk cathedral, and this image is always available to muscovites and for many, many decades. e, in general, it was the main icon for muscovites

of the odigidre, which is not always able to come and pray. at first, the spiritual life in the monastery was laid on july 28, 1525. to the new cathedral with a procession and the kremlin cathedral of the annunciation, the miraculous smolensk icon of the mother of god was transferred to the abbess in the monastery. the grand duke summoned and judged the reverend elena the girl to moscow , she arrived not one, but five with eighteen suzdal nuns. centuries ago, the monk helena wrote a spiritual charter with compilations of the charter on monastic life, which to this day are the main thing for us in the monastery. in the power of your judgment by them, god, let us hear my prayer, give ear to the words of my mouth. i want wait for you, sasha, softly and firmly, you won’t offer my elder soul, but god is sitting in front of you. god helps me, the lord, the intercessor of the soul of my

tradition, my evil enemy is your true one, having used their will, i will devour you, confessing to your seed, lord, this is good. i, like all sorts of sorrows, delivered me and the son of my enemies. in vain , inspire me, o god, my prayer and the intransigence of my hearing the insults of sorrow. in my flock from the eye. the enemy is no longer sinful. i am a doll niche with us lawless anger was at enmity, i know how to estimate my heart and eat it all death attacks on honey in our days in the monastery , the traditions and 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, which we are now embroidering, is a student of the 500th anniversary of the monastery. here is depicted the situation around here, well, took a nap by a student of our

monastery. 1.536 and now this shroud is kept in the yaroslavl museum. we went with the girls. with embroiderers who they work here, let's go 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 skill itself received the second name of painting, with a needle at first glance. it is impossible to determine whether the work is painted with paints or embroidered with gold. sewing facial sewing, that is,

sewing with silk. right now, you see, polina is embroidering. this is called face sewing , silk sewing. this is the seam in the split, that is, it went. at whom the 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 like that, it’s just the choice of such a person, sometimes he does something or somehow leaves. it seems to me that the lord calls a person, and he and this happens.

everything, naturally. they just came to help. us they said that a new maiden monastery 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. so they were simply left without this place without a monastery without this life. we just can't even live hard anymore. i'm not saying there is some kind of, let's say, a circle of restrictions of some kind, this is a completely secondary story. well, i never regretted it. that i went to the monastery, never a single day like this, no matter how hard it was. i didn't have to. wow, i do something not once. and here, and happiness

after all, i found a good book, they brought warblers, it’s called the union with happiness, and indeed. here is a man who met god and followed him. he already begins an alliance with happiness. you just need to believe and the determination to follow christ and that's it. in 1582, in the novodevichy convent, she was tonsured to endure or to 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 already, she would live his mood until 1.596, they buried her in the main cathedral. smolensky

cathedral, under 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 monastic necropolis is now being restored here, but you can look and see these ancient slabs. with a white-stone carving, which says, who is buried here, and here lies the representatives of the most noble boyar families of the russian state, the odoevsky , zaharenny cunning cuban. uh, big part of the burial is female, but there are also male family burials. crypts now we

pass into the podoltarny part under the crypt of the smolensk cathedral. the world of medieval man was hierarchical and therefore the most honorable. the hotels of our monastery, the royal innokeni, rest in the underside of the relative of tsar ivan vasilyevich the terrible, uliana dmitrievna palitskaya, the great book, his daughter-in-law, elena sheremetyeva . indeed, these are talking stones, which, here, we are promised from the depths of centuries of five centuries, too, for example, a tombstone can be here even to read it is still written by the servant of god grand duke nikita ivanovich odoevsky , the wife of evdokia fedorovna, the warriors euphrosyne from the

chemist and buried in the 7th place today, when a full-scale restoration of the monastery is underway , interesting mysteries are revealed that were hidden at one time. in temples, these are cloisters . 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 altar or that, a deaf chamber without windows and doors, there are no mentions 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. well, here, here we see the entrance, which is visible

behind the late conostasis of the xviii century. 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 now, except for our case, i don’t know anymore other cases. that is, it turns out that they got into this room not because of the altar space, but from the main space of the temple. that is, it could not be lighting, but an ordinary person. although it may even be directly grozny, if we assume that this is the building of the grozny hmm well, just count that this room is for yourself when building the temple. premises this is remarkable in that here it is located inside the altar, well, small, but at the same time it has three windows and let's look at it. this

room, as i said, is completely small here it turns out just a meter. probably three, but in length it is somewhat reminiscent of a stove with this window. one window is located on the south side, and it is oriented to the altar through the entrance to the altar, through this window one could see the throne. and another window. e is located on the east side. it is oriented towards the altar, it was located, that is, it is located in the thickness of the northern wall and the price of these rooms with the space of the gallery, that is, it is simply light, so some kind of illumination got there in the place at the end of the 16th century, where fate was determined of our russian state in january 1598

, after the death of her husband, his widow irina godunova, an intelligent, educated woman who made a revolution, settled. she actively participated in court life and could claim the throne by becoming the first woman ruler of russia. maybe the struggle for power before the dunov voluntarily takes 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 boriska godunov, he, as it were, shows everyone that i do not interfere with the problem of choice. decide, he goes here with his family, piety

awaits him. what is the matter of taking place in moscow, as it were, the question has been decided. come yes, you were afraid, report your decision. here is irina fedorovna, just like her predecessors, surrounded by numerous servants. what is her cell? this is a two-story building that has retained itself of our time. she occupied the entire second floor, and there on the second floor and in addition to personal the premises was a large hall. this is where boris godunov heard this message . everything must be organized beautifully solemnly and the patriarch organizes a big procession alexander sergeevich pushkin in his work boris godunov mentions the novodevichy convent and

here the historical situation that developed when choosing the tsar of the muscovite people to see moscow his accept. crown humbly agree, and 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 of the monastery. and boris godunov so publicly gives consent let the righteous be the tsar of russia. the monastery is experiencing its first dawn during the reign of boris for his sister in the tsarina, irinina's chambers were built, the murals of the smolensk cathedral were updated.

the latest data just shows that this is still a grozny building. there is an interesting moment. uh, 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 from the order of boris godunov before his reign, that is, right here he was on the water, which the monastery expected when he will be called to the kingdom and he was preparing for this and ordered the painting. uh, the painting of the cathedral was completed in 1549. this tempera painting. well, as was traditional for that time, along with growth, most likely the iconostasis of the smolensk cathedral appears, the original thrust of the econostasis. this is also a unique unique phenomenon of the iconostasis. 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 dyabla did not stand for long in the 17th century, a new iconostasis was installed in the temple by a lucky chance. ancient the craftsmen did not dismantle the old one, but mounted it on top. of course, when we took out the icons and saw these diablos for the first time, they were in a 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 had to be done to remove dirt and to strengthen the painting. and this is literally a piece of jewelry, when it is necessary to remove pollution without affecting the paint layer. it is not easy. well, we coped with this , processed wood, of course, such work

we call them conservation, 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 training, no soil. we have not added here yet. in a year. we'll put it here. at this late hour on stas we will put icons here again and the heat will turn out to be closed tsar boris not only orders the schedule and decorate the smolensk cathedral, but turns on the water, than a monastery into a real fortress, an outpost with twelve towers with hospitals with openings for firing cannons and squeakers. they were built on the model of the kremlin domes of the tower, round in the walls, square. surrounded by high strong walls, the monastery was supposed to become not just a new prayer place, but not a criminal fortress on the way to moscow. the successful location

allowed control of three rights across the river, protecting moscow from the southwestern side. in case of danger, sagittarius were equipped here for joy, who held the defense. by the end of the 16th century, moscow had created a good defense system for itself; the city had four lines. the walls, including the kremlin kitay-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 the road approached the most dangerous direction. you understand where the crimea is. this is the south, and so a kind of ring of monasteries was formed, guarding the approaches to moscow, and the watchman at moscow said that he was part of this defensive line. well, you were looking for an old sinoff, a monastery, danilovsky donskoy, they were practically at a distance.
