their position in life. for this, everything is man and will, no one violates him and is already well known precisely on the orthodox holiday. and the city is shelled most often in this case, the windows in the temple were covered with sandbags, in order to somehow protect those who are not afraid to come to the service, this is sand, yes, well, we hope that it will protect? maybe, well, the main thing on god, everything else. well, the father said, she had hope, but don’t make a mistake yourself, so we prepared ourselves, starting from the fourteenth year. the ukrainian military destroyed or damaged dozens of orthodox churches in the donbass, there were dead and among clergy and among the parishioners, but they failed to intimidate, and the destroyed church is being rebuilt. st. nicholas cathedral in mariupol had to change the windows here, close up the roof, the service in the temple did not stop even in the midst of the battles for the liberation of the city, the rector of

the temple tells the residents. here they were saved, both in the spiritual and physical sense, the well at the cathedral became the only source of pure water for the entire district. our spirituality in general. let's all come not to treat ours. evil in this temple of the city of volnovakha, the service is still held in a temporary building for the first weeks. after the liberation, it was here that residents came to get help to keep warm and eat, like the rest of the ruined city. now the temple is being rebuilt . on this surviving building of the temple, volnovakha, traces of past battles are still clearly visible. it is here that the believers of the city will celebrate the bright holiday of easter . soon the restored temple will open its doors almost from scratch. but just a year ago at this place, was burnt the frame of the orthodox holiday is sent to the donbass, and the volunteers handed over special gifts to the military easter cakes baked in one of the monasteries near moscow. such parcels

come from all over the country. here, to the lord the pressure is not quite put down, i say that well, this is that little one, thank you for what easter sunday. most likely , it will also pass to the sounds of ukrainian artillery, there is no doubt. but even in the very area of ​​​​donetsk we are shelling,

no one is going to cancel the service. yes, they scare. yes, it's scary, but they shoot. well, no one will forbid spring, and no one forbids easter, christ is risen, and we are also waiting, we have literally already remained now and until this time. now there will be a service in our church by boris makdotov. mikhail vitkin anton khobotov lead. the donetsk people's republican committee criticized the decision of the kiev authorities, which banned their athletes from participating in competitions along with russians and belarusians. we did not expect such statements, and the athletes themselves, who are not experienced , will tell anastasia ivanova in more detail. more recently, the ministry of sports of ukraine diakuvala their athletes for military work. now people's deputies just shoot them in the leg. he is the olympic champion independent jean beleniuk. significantly wrote waited for the official order. by the way, here he is in black and white told to the delegations of the national teams of ukraine to ban participation

in international competitions in which russian and belarusian athletes are declared. otherwise, independent delegations will lose the status of national accounts. i am almost certain that there will not be a need to consider issues of deprivation of national status. well, yes, we have such an instruction, but we see today that the entire sports world stands on the fact that the representatives of russia and belarus should be excluded from the cultural and sports context, and we cannot participate in events where they are present poor sure what kind of ukrainians will become breasts, world sports organizations were somewhat hasty with conclusions in between the olympic committee reacted to the hysterical initiative of the kiev regime, the wmo declared such a decision would harm only the ukrainian community, and the government does not must decide. which athletes can participate in certain competitions, but zelensky's office apparently does not care about this for

ukrainian athletes, nothing good can be expected, but such bans. they always go, as you know, such a frivolous moment in departure in this completely, as if discrimination. actually, let's say that in ukrainian sports, all events are based on the face of some person who, in a narrow sense, does not think, but with the thoughts of athletes. in addition to discriminating against its own people, the kiev regime thus puts ultimatum to international organizations. i naively believe that they will not allow russian athletes to compete. in any status, in fact, the question is whether we or they or ukrainian athletes or russian athletes should take part in the hope that the international olympic committee, uh, and other international sports organizations. give in to this pressure. with all due respect to the ukrainian athletes. it must be admitted that e serious achievements. u, ukraine, e, in

the olympic movement, in general, there are a few of these angry declarations that we will slam the door. well, please, go away making it worse once again blindly, following the american masters who are trying their best to abolish everything russian is not considered the interests of their people. they absorbed people who were trained precisely with a focus on washington to what they would say from washington and washington they say that we should persecute the russians all over the world in all spheres of human existence. this is exactly what they are doing in this case. uh, with the help of e of his ukrainian helpers, so to speak. e, and. basically, uh, this whole story, it will continue for some time. and we need to be ready for this, but we need to move forward. we need to make the main focus. here in this situation on mass sports on mass sports. and this

was very important before. and now it may be, one of the most important tasks kiev , meanwhile, issued a decree, but they are not in a hurry with specific decisions, taking a rather wait-and-see position in the ministry of sports of ukraine , they said that the decision on the participation of the national team in the selection for euro 20-24 in football is not accepted, they say, it’s not a fact that non-false athletes will intersect with russian ones there within the framework of one event. what other exceptions does zelensky’s office, anastasia, come up with a new galvukhin to bring?

of admiring the japanese hanami. here they prepare in advance and carefully monitor the beginning of flowering according to the calendar, many varieties of sakura, in principle, to catch flowering. it is possible in any month of the year, but the first powerful hall produces this kind of it, it is called kavad. according to the name of the place on the izu peninsula on the pacific coast, there the peak of flowering falls on the twentieth of february, and in tokyo it blooms in the first week of march, it has such a bright, pronounced pink hue and these bright it is customary to decorate gardens and temples with single torches. in particular. this one, which is dedicated to one of the most famous samurai in japan of the 16th-18th centuries, is a skating rink. he had extensive holdings on the island of kyussi, and he built one of japan's most famous samurai castles in the city of kumat. of course,

it is impossible to compare with the massive riot of flowering of the main species. in the parks of khanami , bright yellow and deadly fragrant fields of decorative aps are already framed, flowering trees from a distance very reminiscent of cherries. the sakura season in japan is preceded by plum blossoms, which, by the way, was at first the main subject of admiration for samurai earlier . the middle ages really liked these strong , squat, knotty trees; the flowers themselves are very tenacious. they do not fly around like sakura at the first breath of the breeze, which is more in line with the character of the military class. well, the aroma is absolutely amazing. sakura doesn’t smell like that at all, continuing the theme of flowers and samurai, one cannot but say a few words about camellia, it blooms almost all winter, the military had a difficult time

relation to this tree. you see, it falls in whole buds, and they were associated with the severed heads of valiant warriors who committed hara-kiri or sypuku, as they say in japan according to the rules at the end of the second. he had to cut off the head of his comrade with a katana. oh the place where you can know for sure if the cherry blossoms in tokyo started or not is located near the emperor’s dwelling. the gate decorated with a stylized image of a golden chrysanthemum is open to everyone, but public people, especially politicians, should think carefully enter the temple here. i am a sukuni, widely known around the world, the attitude towards him is ambiguous some call him a symbol of militarism, but it is here that the control tree grows , which determines the beginning of the cherry blossom season, the meteorological department deals with this, and so, if more than five flowers bloom on this particular tree, then the season is declared open. early march in

japan in degrees so bloom forecasts changed daily. sakura trees with large twisted trunks, rough bark and broken branches, but once a year there is a transformation almost before our eyes, the lower flowers and rough wood create the perfect contrast that underlies the japanese canon of the beautiful, however, unscheduled march summer. in japan, it ended as abruptly as it began, but the sakura was unstoppable. in tokyo this year, the sakura bloomed a week and a half earlier than usual, and the peak fell on a cold snap and rains, gloomy rainy clouds, not the best foundation for hoping flowers in the daytime, but

in the evening, in the sakura quarters of the city , the backlight turns on, and in this form, even bad weather is not a hindrance for khans. the streets of the city turn into multi-colored tunnels, which you can admire without leaving your car. although from the point of view of traffic rules to do. this is of course not recommended. such sakura alleys with beautiful illuminations in iconic places, such as, for example, here near the walls of the imperial palace in tokyo, appeared relatively recently; all these trees were planted in the late fifties of the last century, according to the conditions. not here for them suitable. they often get sick to monitor their health is technically very difficult and incredibly expensive, but for the sake of such beauty, the japanese do not spare money. cherry blossom is a special time when the japanese are allowed to do what is usually tacitly condemned, and sometimes outright prohibited by law, but during the sugar season

to have picnics in public places. we choose a sacred matter, a tree you like. here is quite a blooming sakura spreading inventory. and we begin to admire in order to make admiring more interesting it is recommended to bring some food with you. we are specially prepared. it's themed and draw. this is such a juicy rice wrapped in fried tufa. hey, please pay attention. what are they decorated with? these are soaked sakura flowers. well, also realize yourself with taste as a drink. we took a bottle of green tea, but our neighbors came up more thoroughly; real khanam people prefer stronger drinks. spontaneous breakfasts on the grass, as well as lunches and dinners under the shade of sakura , an age-old tradition was founded back in medieval times.

samurai and court aristocracy, the japanese honor traditions and willingly share their thoughts with foreigners, and hanami and osakure high-caste an orphan, when sakura blooms, warmth finally comes, nightingales begin to sing along with sakura, they are the main heralds of spring. after the sakura blossoms, spring already fully comes into its own for us , this is a symbol of the final change of the season. it also lasts a few days, only blooms and immediately begins to fly around. and this transience is very consonant with the feeling japanese. it seems to me that since childhood, we celebrate with khans every year from kindergarten and elementary school. at this age, you don't even think about it. in a way, that's right. apparently, traditions are being formed among the older generation , the approach is more practical and simpler. that's where the real japanese hospitality and sociability. listen, this is beautiful. very beautiful.

right here the soul blossoms, there is a feeling of happiness, joy, i want to be friends with everyone. no, it's nothing complicated once a year, this happens sakura blooms all over the country, moving from the south on north. in japan, this is the best time of the year. why don't you drink? come on, come on, don't hurt us. we japanese must keep their word on boats. and patience and endurance, and this year we have given the word to fulfill this item of the program. whatever it's worth. today we came here at 10:00 am, but the boat rental was suspended because it was

raining a little. it's almost 2:30 now about 40 minutes ago. we were told that in an hour they would launch, but if it starts to rain, then everything will again be postponed for an indefinite time, but we decided not to leave here and drink this cup to the bottom. while we were waiting for the opening, the line behind us stretched the entire length of the moat and went around the corner. on this day. luck was on our side. we were given the coveted ticket for 3 hours, we are allowed to sit down. so, let's chase him. for a long time, i didn’t pick up oars, the maximum boating time is 1 hour, which is enough to explore in detail the most picturesque, cherry blossom branches spread over the water and feel the atmosphere of harsh feudal

times, the cherry blossom season is the only opportunity to visit the moat around the imperial castle, everyone calls it a palace. although in fact no palace. no, the japanese emperor lives in an ordinary modern house on the territory of a samurai fortress. it was the headquarters of the tokugawa shogun, and everything here is done according to military science in particular. here is the width of this varl. as they explained to us, somewhere around 80-100 m are calculated in such a way that the archers who would shoot from the other side of the bank could not reach the defenders of this castle. the dwellings of the heirs were located the military ruler of zion, and when in the 19th century he was called to abdicate, the imperial court, who had moved from kyoto, settled here. this place is called the gafutinyo theory of the ditch of the theory of the bird, because if you climb to a height and look at it from above, then the ditch looks like a bird with spread wings. a shinto monk

performs a ritual of purging evil spirits by imitating katana sword strikes at her shino mountain shrine in the vicinity of the ancient japanese capital. nara here becomes clearer. why did sakura buy the meaning of the main national symbol of japan for centuries, people have brought here, seedlings now grow about 50,000 sakura trees in its hay, they are planted at four different levels, which differ from each other in height. so you can admire almost for a month in 1594 . one of the main unifiers of axis japan organized a mass cherry blossom viewing here, a mass hanami with the participation of about 5,000, representatives of the highest military and aristocratic nobility, among them was the future japanese yogun, goods and yasu founder of the last dynasty

of samurai rulers in japan. who led the country for more than 250 years. in the main temple of the local area, a reproduction of a painting of the 16th century was so admired by sakura in those days. personal items and scrolls from the library of the legendary japanese emperor of his year in the 14th century are exhibited in this sanctuary. he refused to recognize the power of a protege of one of the military clans and died. here in her shino unconquered, and after his death he was again recognized by the samurai as the legitimate monarch. from a niche in one of the rooms looks at visitors a stern hermit monk with two spirit guards black statues 400 years ago were carved from solid trunks, sakura trees, you can look into the eyes of a monk only if you kneel before him. he lived about 1,300 years ago, founding

the japanese esoteric teachings of shugando, yushin. based on shinto, buddhism, shamanism and mystical taoism. this explosive philosophical religious mixture formed the basis of the code of conduct for the samurai, in fact, who ruled japan for eight centuries in a row, there are concepts in this code and sagi yosa military virtue. here it is customary to compare it with the fleeting beauty of flowering sakura. if you take responsibility. you must carry it to the end and be mentally prepared, when the time comes to leave this world easily and without hesitation, like a sakura flower in this, if you like, life principle i ponza grows that ancient type of mountain sakura from which other varieties were bred, including the most common decorating streets including the japanese capital, it is called sumy for its shin wild nature. cherry lives no more than 100 years and the tradition of planting new trees.
