about the same as i had in my childhood, in the village, that is, when you travel by boat, there for hard work, like a sinoval and so on, mobile technologies everything else allows, so to speak , civilization to lie nearby, if you need it, but you can also refuse it and just, as they say, get to know z you came, worked hard, got tired, from this you get dopamine, because in childhood i was instilled with this, if you worked well, then well done, if you worked poorly, then this immediately causes a feeling of anxiety and so on and so forth and so on and so forth, for centuries the name of the island was pronounced with the stress on the last syllable: kizhi. then philologists came and explained to the natives that they were wrong, since then it has become customary to say kizhi, but this has not changed the global essence. the reserve still gives the opportunity for privacy even to those who, it would seem, are in plain sight and live in a museum.

so it's a matter of habit, technique, i've been working here for more than 30 years, so i'm used to it, people walk by, like the wind blows, like ducks walk, and i do my job, this is my natural state, since childhood i've been like got used to wood, went to the forest on my own, cut out knots, cracks, searched, worked with wood, and then, when i grew up, got an art education, saw that the museum needed me, began to demonstrate the production of northern toys, yeah, what is kizhi for you? kizhi, well, kizhi, kizhi - this may not be a second, even, but a first homeland, because my son works here, my grandchildren are growing up here, that is, maybe my work will continue. there is a lot in karelia, the play on words gave birth to a tourist brand unlimited framework. effective project

hospitality industry, designed to popularize the culture and traditions of the peoples living in the republic, including national cuisine. we travel, perform throughout russia with gastronomic festivals, and there we present karelian cuisine. and very often i come across the fact that our cuisine is known in advance, they know the correct names of the dishes, they know what they consist of and how to eat them. if you sell 15-20 thousand portions of lakhikeit per month, it is logical that about 15-20. people know about this dish, eat it, they are still ready to vote for him with a ruble. since childhood i have traveled through our forests, went on hikes, and i have a lot of pleasant memories associated with the karelian nature, flora and fauna, in fact, they intersect with the products, they intersect with the kitchen, it all comes together and ultimately gives me some kind of creative flow, if you can

call it that. one of the main riches of the republic of karelia lies literally underfoot. bottomless deposits of valuable rock. gabrodi obabasa, quartz, feldspar, muscovite, shungite. all the brilliant petersburg of the 19th century, many stations of the leningrad and moscow metro, the pavements of the largest cities in russia, come from the karelian bowels. that's why the industrial park. the southern industrial zone, created in petrozavodsk in 2020, is the first large-scale ultra-modern enterprise in russia for processing natural stone. the annual turnover of the residents of the technology park is close to 1 billion rubles. we are ready to work here not only with our own stone and support our entrepreneurs, but also to import, to process stone from other regions of russia, from other countries, providing here a kind of well presentation, trade of various products from stone, as our chinese said.

friends, there is no such thing as too much stone, that's where they practically take our royal stone there too for their exhibition activities, trade and so on, and we , in addition to creating a technology park, also organized an event-forum dedicated to stone in general, we had representatives not only from our various regions of the country, but also from abroad, one of the largest orders came in from the capital's leadership, that is, such an interesting commercial experience of interaction between two regions, it is of course... very beneficial for both us and moscow, we will have new production facilities, new investments, and moscow will receive such high-quality korean building stone, which is really unique in terms of its density, wear resistance, and so on. perhaps the most non-trivial use for karelia granite was found by sergey, an entrepreneur from petrozavodsk. on his own initiative, having received

approval of the local administration, he created a popular art object, the valley of hares. animal figures carved on rock ledges decorated the side of the federal highway. images, being a businessman, not a professional carver at all, he received approval for the project at a family council, the same sculpture, thanks to his wife, she appeared, she is in everything, she says, well, come on, do what you want, well, you want to do rock deeds, because if she at some point said, no, but we, like any man, we still all listen to our woman, that is, it is us we can bang our fists on... as much as we want, she supported him in all of this, and the hobby became so much a part of his life that in indonesia sergey was granted an audience with the king of the island of bali, who purchased one of his abstract works, when we had a meeting with him, i expected, you know, something big would arrive, something in color, and also a crown, for some reason i

imagined it that way, no, here he is, he looked there, he arrived in a shirt, so neat , well-mannered, that is, it was very interesting to talk to him, because he was just immersed in art, understood everything. and here is an example of how stone and quarries can turn into a natural monument, which was visited by dozens of famous people, including auguste montferrand in search of marble for st. isaac's cathedral and alexandre dumas, who was looking for subjects for books. the ruskiala mountain park is located near sortovala, you can get here casually by car, or solemnly on a retro train. number 921 arrives on the second platform, carriage numbers, valuable types of stone were mined here from the time of catherine the great to the nineties of the twentieth century, in other words, all this splendor of the territory of the former huge

plant, which are essentially man-made, but not in perception, a quarry filled with water up to 70 m deep and endless adits looks.

nature, looking for some moment of silence, maybe if you want privacy, privacy with being, then choose a slightly different time or early morning, or maybe late evening, when there are not many guests in the park, and come to us in winter. you probably haven't been to us in winter, come to us in winter, winter is silent very solemn, i think you will see a completely different picture. what does koreleya have in common with johnny depp and the movie pirates of the caribbean, replicas of old ships created at the petrozavodsk shipyard, and you can meet them anywhere, in the usa, britain, spain, italy, sweden, finland. over its thirty-year history, the company. voryak has manufactured more than 360 specialized ships and boats. wooden shipbuilding, especially non-serial, requires a unique level of specialists. that's why they work here exclusively experienced shipbuilders who provide a full range of work, from

design to sea trials. most of the ships are built according to individual projects for a specific customer. for example, sailing schooners for artek, for the karanshtat naval cadet corps, the all-russian children's center ocean in vladivostok. we are very proud that petrozavodsk remains, well, such a rare, yes, center of wooden shipbuilding. of course, and ancient russian traditions we have a variety of copies of ancient ships, in voronezh we we know the ship of peter i, yes, this ship was also produced here. therefore, of course, traditions remain, and we are proud of them, but we are also moving forward, and we...

are creating a digital shipbuilding competence center, and i think that here we are implementing projects together with the st. petersburg shipyard to create a training center, so that these digital labor-building formats can be spread throughout the country, they can be distributed to larger shipyards, we are pioneers here, and this is the first project where digital trust with this digital contour design, quality control of production, for certain processes, of course he will already talk about...

russia and the cis countries, the only manufacturer of shaped castings from any grades of chubon weighing up to 120 tons. the company produces unique products for the nuclear, petrochemical, pulp and paper, railway, shipbuilding and other industries of russia. today , the plant is implementing a project of a group of young graduate students from petrozavodsk state university. a unique development based on artificial intelligence and neural networks, will allow determining the quality of castings made of high-strength cast iron even before manufacturing.

another significant project for the republic is the fr engineering center for fire robotics. it was created exactly 40 years ago and in recent years has become an undisputed leader in its difficult segment. here , fire extinguishing systems are created based on monitor nozzles and robots, which are used in airports, cinema and concert halls, stadiums, oil terminals, nuclear power plants and... the cosmodrome is a full cycle from design and design to installation work. 24 active patents of the russian federation for products that have no analogues. the engineering center is a member of the national academy of fire safety sciences, truly innovative enterprises that are not like a plant in the traditional sense of the word. taking into account our previous developments, i think that we are already 60 percent engaged in work related to the study, development, implementation of new ones. 40% are already technical details, organization, manufacturing, testing

and similar things, that is, that's all more more, over the past 10 years our korturustvsky division has expanded significantly, and this is already considered and little, we are still recruiting people, to trainees, including in our local university, this can even be seen by the number of workers in the main and engineering and technical personnel. the local university is generally an active forge. personnel source of ideas for enterprises of the republic. by order of taxi and car sharing companies, a study of driver behavior in the process of driving a car is being conducted. communication on the phone, smoking, the position of the seat belt, etc. are taken into account. for robo-breeding farms, programs are created that allow the formation of optimal feeding plans. artificial intelligence is also used for conveyor shops simulating human cognitive functions. such interesting for scientists.

not to mention the group of companies, the largest manufacturer of sports equipment in the country. the company has 16 valid patents for outdoor exercise machines that meet international standards. the products are supplied all over the world, more than than 40 countries, including the sychelles islands. in russia, within the framework of the sport norms of life project, the national project demography, the company has installed more than 300 exercise machines, 700 of which are outdoor. their production is 100% localized in petrozavodsk, where...

a professional journalist and a certified history teacher, his life experience is an example of how an outsider can become part of karelia on the coast of lake ladazh in the very area that is famous for. skerries, he moved from moscow, created a farm trout breeding, fish processing complex and arranged the territory for a camping in the style of northern modernism. auto tourists from all over the country flocked to learn how to properly bake karelian kalitki with cranberries, lingonberries and trout. every time you come to karelia or, more precisely, pass the sign republic of karelia, you get the feeling that you have come home, although you are a muscovite, although i am

a native muscovite, yes, the question is that you have a feeling that you have finally returned. home, yes, and this feeling does not disappear, well, in fact the last 10 years, you probably feel like a lucky person in some sense, that you were lucky to be here, to be here in some sense even to become a part of this. being a father of four children, he also founded a school on the shore of ladaga, where they teach history and spanish, and his wife alexander english. in a word, he did not limit himself to running a business, but built a life around himself and for other people, right.

here are quiet based on the story of the same name by boris vasiliev. the director of the film stanislav rostotsky spoke about himself half-jokingly. i have has a hobby - filming and a profession - fishing. the beauty of these places impressed him so much that he left moscow forever and moved to neighboring skareli and the leningrad region on the coast of the gulf of finland. but who is rastotsky, a hereditary aristocrat, a front-line soldier, a hero of the great patriotic war. he was capable of decisive. actions that everyone admires, but not everyone can do. fortunately, there is a compromise, dreaming of moving to karelia in the distant future, and until then to visit here regularly, everything necessary for tourists is in the republic. the all-union hit about leningradskoe komarovo, the one that is a week before the second, sang the praises of the karelian rocks, but the republic also has

flat beauty. you know, like the french, only the other way around, they have everything on the last sloka of the stress, and we have everything on the first. the village of kindesova bears the title of the most cheerful village in russia, it received this definition back in the 19th century, since then it has not lost it , it is not difficult to maintain in fact, because always giving joy is great, it is interesting, it is right, and we draw strength from guests, here they come and get off the bus, so sad, and we treat them to a little joke, once a joke... once a treat, they leave us, hug, everyone is warm and happy, but we recharge. an hour's drive from here is kinerma, which is part of the association of the most beautiful villages in russia. true, for the local villagers this is not only prestige, but also serious trouble. no more than ten people live in the village permanently, and during the season they have to

receive several thousand tourists who want to reveal the secret of the village beauty. in the photo on the walls, when i came here as a child grandparents came, i am a city granddaughter, i lived in petrozavodsk when i was a student, young, if they told me that i would live in a village, and are you crazy, what would i do in this village, yes, especially in the form it was now, now i think that for me there is no better place, i am glad that i have lived here in this village for the last 25 years, i am very glad that my children grew up here, that is, they grew up completely different, that is, i can even imagine what they could have been like if we just lived in the city. for lovers of the scientific approach and those wishing to comprehend brutal karelia, the bastion historical park, consisting of several thematic sites and museums, is open all year round.

reconstructions of famous battles, museum details of everyday life, everything is as interactive as possible, you can contact any of the guide actors to explore the middle ages and even events of modern history by touch, for example, the soviet-finnish wars. something between a museum and an immersive theater, where the audience, participants in the action. we we strive to tell the story, the story itself and minimize all the mistakes. what we have is already superficial, remove the legends and myths, give it as it is, many do not like it, and what specifically, well , a person wants a horned helmet, he wants it, and the fact that they were not there, it is wrong, we came to disneyland, a one and a half ball is a must, a horned helmet and the best. manual, so that in general it is a kilogram on this one, are you talking about the vikings, well of course, yes, if we draw analogies with the present day, everything is repeated, everything is cyclical, i can already vikings cyclicality to unwind to show people

how nothing has changed in a thousand years, neither people nor their aspirations, everything is cyclical in fact, and even a modern city dweller in search of harmony fits into the pastoral of kizhi island. karelia, it is always with me and i have not actually left anywhere else, well, due to the fact that here we are far from the city, it is much easier to breathe here, and you are like that, and it is easier to find peace and quiet. and especially in the evenings, when you have worked well, all tired, you just like that, in one moment you froze, silence, and you can calmly overload yourself with your thoughts, i really like

being in this place, working here, carrying out new and new actions, changes, introducing, improving something, our enterprise is exactly that case, it developed very quickly, quickly built up muscles, we are one of the leaders in this area - in russia, i ... visited many regions of the european part of russia and i understand perfectly well that it is probably more comfortable for me to be both physically and emotionally here in karelia. can i imagine myself there anywhere in the world, well, i do something, yes i can, but in any case i am always drawn here, that is, in winter i like to be somewhere warm, but summer is definitely in karelia, i always go here, no matter what, we have all karelian roots, my mother is a tver karelian, i came to karelia when i was 17 years old, so these are native places for us, which it is impossible not to love. karelia, it is wonderful in all its manifestations, in nature, in the weather, in

beautiful melodious language, in traditions, in culture, so you don’t have to force yourself to love karelia, it makes you fall in love with it. karelia is certainly a part of the thousand-year-old russian history. korela, olonets province, karelia, in fact, is a border, and a border. almost 800 years not the most peaceful, although certainly this is the connection of russia with the west, of course there were not only wars here, but there was also trade, there were some cultural exchanges, this is a place where the slavs and finno-ugrians have lived in such a single national format for almost 1000 years, this is a place of unique cultures, this is the pomor culture, zaanesh and karelian, and the veps with their own unique cultural code, we have unique nature, we have a unique history, lines... runes, and people come here for legends, we, such a part of our russian world. if

everything is like the wild west, then there is only one law: shoot first. competitions of ideas and money, a sensation occurred, and what a sensation, we tensed up inside. well, what did you decide, let's go, maybe we'll find out from grandpa, let's go, there are doctors there, and food there, we agree, we agree, bernie, don't twitch, don't

run, normal, everything is normal, i have never seen an enemy drone so close , but their operator is still cross-eyed, i am unlucky in life, not a soldier, he is a mummer, a noglet, just like me, i have a bad feeling, and although he deprived my mother of her will, did not imprison her in a flint, she is not simple, magical. again i had to spend the zaglinovanie from the book, fairy tales are all, i am in the yard of a sand soldier, how to light a spark in the heart, but also lights in the eyes, whoever is scared, goes,

you can't do without a flint here, well, soldier, let's fly for all the money, i asked, nothing touch, try from the inside, flint, tried, miracles, soon.

they risk their own lives to save others. from the first days of the invasion of the armed forces of ukraine into the kursk region, volunteers began to arrive from all over russia. their goal is to bring as many

civilians as possible to a safe place. often.

assume, but the lord disposes. here, in this temple, in the first days of the invasion of ukrainian terrorists into the territory of the kursk region, dozens of residents of the korenevsky district found salvation. medical care was also provided here to our guys, border guards, wounded in the first days of the breakthrough. the temple became a place of salvation for both soul and body. several times the militants tried to attack the monastery, the lord turned them away, because the evil done by the atheists is alien to him. father valery fursov says, the priests called, father leave, all the others, i say, how will i go, the young guys are standing, where, who will i leave, you can’t imagine, when the priest arrives, some spirit rises, we are the soldiers of christ standing here, and they are the soldiers of our army, and of course, we stayed here, holy mother of god, save us, save us, service to both

the lord and the people, says father valery, has not been interrupted here for a day, an hour, or a minute. with each passing day after the militants' invasion, there were more and more people in the church, some were looking for a quiet place, some were simply looking for a roof over their heads. here is a very interesting detail: here in the church, mattresses on this side, on that side. in the first days, when ukrainian terrorists broke into the kursk region, here... parishioners spent the night, and another very interesting detail is the key that is inside temple, that is, people came in, closed themselves in and waited out the hardest times here. matushka, just like father valery, flatly refused to leave the parish. it was when the priest stayed, he was such a one, i tell you honestly.
