tame the offensive potential, but also to the combat capability of the army. in general, there is something to think about, but today we see that this offensive potential is not yet exhausted, there are also reserves that the enemy is thinking about where and how to withdraw thanks to the courage and heroism of our fighters. readiness of commanders to repulse any aggressive actions against russia it seems to me the chances of the enemy. no, they understand this, and they are their sponsors, arming ukraine to the teeth, the west and, of course, our fighters, in fact, whose heroism achieves the results that the president spoke about during the formal communication of the head of state with graduates of military universities, one of them lieutenant colonel. ilya melnikov read a poem to the head of state, which mentions the words of

there is no doubt about the details. and today , commenting on the combat situation. vladimir putin specified that among the destroyed enemy equipment he mentioned, german leopards and french wheeled vehicles and american armored vehicles are burning for a sweet soul. a direct quote is precisely these losses that the enemy is now, apparently, and is trying to evaluate, to understand what tactics for further actions in the current situation. can be used without the risk of completely losing combat capability, the ukrainian army. under the contract, they receive regional measures, support for the status of a veteran of military operations, actions, exemption from land tax, compensation for payment for the services of a ticket to

a sanatorium, vacation twice a year from the state. to serve under a contract on june 22 , 1941 sunday, leningraders, having learned about the beginning of the war, hurried to serve at their jobs tupura slutsk for leningrad in view of the proximity of the border back in 1936, the drug interrogation of the rsfsr drew up an evacuation plan , an order was given by the director of museums. make lists of valuable items, dividing them into four categories according to the degree of importance, when the evacuation regimes were naturally announced, then

they began to prepare already boxed lists , a certain number of boxes had already been prepared, but memories also testify to this, but they were not enough, so many experts spoilers theater theaters came to russian museum and helped, uh, create the boxes. and they made ramparts and beat them off, so here, uh, the work went round the clock, and by the first of july they were already able to send. uh, 26,000 works the number of employees. in each museum , men are drastically reduced going to the front, young women mobilized for the construction of defensive structures, and tour guides of caretakers of all who were not on staff. it’s just that they are being fired, it’s already clear that leningrad will become a front city. and now mostly not young women are filming with that picture taken out of the frames, big problems are wound on the shafts. in the russian museum with gigantic works by brelov. and rooney's picture of bruni the copper

serpent, its area of ​​48 m², before the war attracted 80 people to remove it and take it out of the frame. now you have to make do with smaller forces, large sculptures, such as this one anna was shot with a lark, do not bring the statues down, they blow them into the ground. in this photo, a masterpiece of execution is being lifted from the pit. it's already the end of the war student. one wrote, work - asked. and why are they did? i say because they had a different self-consciousness. the main thing is that they did not save themselves, what is most important, they have their own life at the moment about life, just for this they were given, in order to save what they loved, what they saw, save beauty, save. in the end, there were, of course, this word is very, very solemn to save the national treasure that belongs to

our people. the beginning of the war of this personnel change, the director of the pavlovsk palace was drafted into the army; his place is taken by the legendary anna ivanovna zelenova here in the list of 1936 thousands of items i take the table was designed by the architect brenn - this is a temple, the goddess of vesta, the patroness of the hearth, in the empire style. empress maria feodorovna turned decor items on a lathe and ivory amber. these are rarities of the first stage and they managed to evacuate the cavalier's hall. filled with sculpture part could hide in the park zelenova was engaged in the old knocked out trucks. she proved to be an excellent organizer. the blockade has already begun, some of the things left the niva evacuation, and to leningrad 16 september. the most terrible day the germans approached the kirov plant. anna zelenova and nikolai the entire chief guardian is still in pavlovsk dana ivanovna says. well, why should nikolayevich leave? she took all his social

materials, which evacuated all the burial plans, in particular the culture in the park. i did not leave, they left, when there were actually germans in the park. it was already impossible for the detachments to go to the railway line, because all this was busy, so they went to the side, kolpino, as it were, by roundabout ways. there was not yet busy, and so skopin they walked all night nikolai viktorovich came at 10:00 in the morning without st. isaac's cathedral. in leningrad itself, they begin to cover the monuments, they decided to leave the three great commanders uncovered. for 900 days of blockade nights. they will inspire the fighters who go to the front. this is a bronze suvorov field of mars kutuzov and barclays, or on nevsky near the kazan cathedral there were proposals that now

seem wild. they wanted to drown the bronze horseman in the neva water. wanted to dismantle the alexandrian pillar did not do this around them; more valuable monuments were built around them; wooden structures were built and sandbags were densely laid aside to shelter the monuments during the blockade of the table . he took off the operation to dismantle the raft horses, nanochka, in the bridge the monuments were buried in the ground, as long as they could, as long as they had strength. two bronze bulls were made in 1827 for the livestock yard by the great sculptor vasily demod malinovsky. there is such an urban legend that the sculptor had a dream that after his death, the bulls will come to bow to him at his grave. we are now in the necropolis of masters of art, a museum of urban culture during the blockade. here, too, monuments were hidden. in

november 1941, two bronze bulls were brought here, but there was already hunger, people were exhausted . the bulls did not have time to bury. just left standing. as it turned out, just near the grave of vasily the demons malinovsky, here is a german map, the germans are shelling leningrad in squares. they know perfectly well what and where is located in leningrad spiers and domes of cathedrals. paint the paint put on specially sewn, covers. this is how the heroic climber olga firsova works at her height. moreover , under the shelling of climbers there was a whole team, two died of starvation. in the first blockade in winter, three hundred architects of leningrad were mobilized. they take measurements of historical buildings in case of destruction, they are engaged in camouflage. this is how the bombardment is open, the smolny has a camouflage net and a false facade from above, the german pilot, descending, was disoriented, but even under the house models, the bridges are masked so that they merge with water, it helps, well, partly they

bombard not only factories and bridges, but also masterpieces of architecture to destroy the culture of history means to wipe it off the face of the earth and the people. how they certainly wanted to destroy it now yes, there is a military operation. yes, and just now i was driving down the street past the house where adam mickiewicz lived yes, and it is standing there, this board hangs, clean with golden letters and some kind of wreath there, and hung, but with slippery flowers nothing taras shevchenko and the same adam mickiewicz where he came came to russia because i was here spiritual mentally and so on and so forth. all this must, of course, be destroyed, then there are no guidelines. they are completely different and even religion , even christianity in some versions. yes, some

rushing soul has a talent that needs to be tormented, yes, and something like that. this is the most sublime thing in the russian, kul in the russian mentality yes , sometimes we make mistakes, sometimes we also do something wrong. well, in general, high spirituality is most often still a landmark - this is spirituality and the whole russian culture, you understand better and dostoevsky tolstoy. pushkin and so on different yes , the form is also turned to some spiritual strings. yes, but still, nonetheless . i believe that this super task was to destroy russian culture. st. isaac's cathedral, by order of the land city council dated july 15, 1941, a joint economy museum was created

as the main repository of the national treasure, which did not have time to evacuate. meters must expose laid windows with bricks checked fire-fighting equipment throughout the blockade there were boxes with inscriptions, pavlovsk gatchina pushkin city museum 120,000 items, and museum workers lived here in the basement of the cathedral on august 23, the director of the united economy. the museum became evdokia ledinkina. here are her documents, unfortunately, her post-war fate, nothing is known , only about 100 people lived in this basement, and anna zeleny and nikolai all and other museum workers from suburban palaces. it was all unthinkable work, unthinkable work preserved surnames all survived, well, a certain number of people. we must still not be able to identify. and so, when we have the ninth of may there or some dates of the blockade,

when hmm they always read, uh, exactly the names of these people of those people who are here during the war. they worked, lived, pipes burst in the basement , there was water. the conditions were unbearable for people and for objects, the museum workers monitored the state of things, aired them out into the sun, if restoration was needed, received advice from hermitage colleagues. and it's unthinkable lectured for sailors bolt fleet. this bowler hat belonged to a girl from the local air defense. we will never know what her name was. perhaps bronislava, because the initials here are bsh. during the blockade, st. isaac's cathedral also became an air defense point here on the roof and on the deck, empovo fighters and employees were on duty. museum. they monitored the approach of enemy aircraft and transmitted this information to the anti-aircraft battery, which was located right there at the bronze horseman

. director of the state hermitage joseph obgarovich orbili succeeded brilliantly prepare the museum masterpieces for evacuation. he pre-ordered a container. boxes and shavings for all the major masterpieces each painting vase sculpture had the same number on the drawer. this orbeli, with a certain risk, he could be accused of alarmism. and such an accusation could lead to the most unpleasant consequences. however, academician arbeli was not afraid, perhaps, in part, because even before 1917 the family was rich. orbeli, who lived in tiflis, financially helped the unknown revolutionary joseph stalin, the packaging of masterpieces began on 23 june and already on the night of july 1 , the first train with the hermitage collections headed by the best work of the remant left for the urals. this is the return of the prodigal son july 20 left the second echelon but the third to send. before they had time , valuables in boxes were lowered into the cellars of the hermitage, these are well-known shots. chronicles

of the rembrandt hall where there is not a single picture, only frames are the depressing spectacle of pavel filippovich gubchevsky, who then headed the hermitage guards in the spring. in 542, he invited young military cadets to the museum, who were supposed to go to the front. it was they they come to the hermitage to help the employees move heavy things in gratitude, gubchevsky gives them an amazing tour of gratitude to these guys who have not even been to leningrad, not only in the hermitage, he begins to lead this amazing tour of uh, empty frames, uh, as if imagining describing , as if these paintings were in frames, and then pavlov filippovich gurchevsky, with surprise , recalls with surprise that these cadets asked the same questions to him, as if the visitors were in peacetime for some time with electricity the hermitage was supplied by the former pleasure yacht of nicholas ii polar star, which was laid up on the palace embankment, the employees

lived in the basements every day, making raids through the halls together with the mpo fighters in february 1942 . here it is in the footage of the chronicle in the spring when shells broke through the water supply hermitage resident olga mikhailova recalled how in the dark she felt out of the icy water to the touch. it was necessary to lift the porcelain and send shells up to the hermitage palaces to dry. and bombs. injured. this is what the portico with the atlantes looked like. sometimes there are such thoughts that the nazis did not bomb the palaces. they bombed, shelled bridges, and stations, plants and factories, and hit palaces when the fascist missed. this is the armorial hall of the state hermitage. on february 2, 1944 , the last bomb fired at the main museum of the country hit here, and on february 22, 1946 . director of the hermitage iosif abgarovich. orbeli acts as a witness at

the nuremberg trials and literally says the following is a quote, if german artillery is shelling the bridge, then why is it puts one projectile into the bridge, and more than 30 projectiles into the adjacent palace. this is how the artist vera milyutina looked like in the spring of 1942, she, along with four other artists, was invited to the hermitage in order to record the defeats inflicted by the nazis in the hermitage museum workers keep drawings of milyutin, or is it graphics and kaplan, like the graphics of the great architect alexander nikolsky he lived in the basement of the hermitage and drew triumphal arches for the meeting of our warriors of the victors and is still kept here. here is this terrible exhibit alone from shells fired at leningrad, and these are footage from the chronicle. the return of masterpieces from the evacuation is first taken by the prodigal son. this is symbolic. the return of the prodigal

son. the history of suburban palaces is terrible . tsarskoye selo and peterhof lay in ruins . the germans had a commandant's office in the gatchina palace. the most important task from all this grows the task that it had to be destroyed, after all, at the gatchina palace, when it was also blown up and burned. uh, he was mostly burned. uh, there were explosions too, like there was in pavlovsk already written on their wall when ivan comes. he won't find anything here. everything will be empty, the pavlovsk liberated palace was stuffed with minami, some were hidden in children's toys trinkets watches in order to destroy more soviet people 2 days after the liberation on january 26, 1944. castle. the flames caught fire and destroyed the luxurious interiors. but this roman senator, and they didn’t specially restore it, bugled without a hand, and he lived through the occupation of the fire and

survived, they dug up the statues hidden in the park on shoulder. this sculpture is an allegory of the world was written we will return and we will find you the world in 1943, an architectural restoration school was opened in leningrad. a year later, the children participate in the conservation of the pavlovsk palace. this is how the famous leningrad school of restoration begins, tourists who now come to the suburbs. petersburg, they do not always think that during the war all these luxurious palaces lay in ruins , charred walls parted from them. peterhof tsarskoye selo, pavlovsk gatchina were recreated and became

monuments by the leningrad restorer. we'll take care of this. it will be the honest

detective. we will tell you what this day is remembered for in history right now. hello june 22, 1941 , the great patriotic war began. without any declaration of war, the german armed forces attacked the borders of the soviet union; nazi germany attacked the ussr ; the nazis opened fire from a thousand guns from the air, attacked cities, ports, and railway airfields. the blow was struck along the entire
