privacy even for those who seem to be in full view and live in the museum, it's a matter of habit, technique, i've been working here for over 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, i 've been used to wood since childhood, i went to the forest on my own, cut out branches, looked for cracks, worked with wood, and then when i was already an adult...

there is a lot in karelia, the play on words gave birth to a tourist brand unlimited by the boundaries of cooking, an effective industry project hospitality, 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 the korelian cuisine, very often i come across the fact that our cuisine is known in advance, they know the correct name of the dish, they know what it consists of and how to eat it, if you sell 15-20 thousand portions of lakhikeit per month, it is logical that about 15-20 thousand people know about this dish, eat it, for they are still ready to vote with their rubles. 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, and they actually intersect with... 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, gabrybaz, quartz, feldspar, muscovite, shungite, the entire 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. therefore, the industrial park yuzhnaya promzona, 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 stone and support our entrepreneurs, but to import, process stone and... from

other regions of russia, from other countries, providing here a kind of, well, presentation, trade of various stone products, as our chinese friends said, there is never too much stone, that's where our royal stone is practically, they also take it there for their exhibition activities, trade and so on, and we, in addition to creating a technology park, also organized the okarelforum event, 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 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 construction stone from karelia, 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 the entrepreneur from petrozavodsk sergei gopanovich. on his own initiative, having received approval from the local administration, he created a popular art object - the valley of hares. animal figures carved on rocky ledges decorated the side of the federal highway kolo. there are about 530 of them here, each hare has a name. in total , sergey plans to create at least a thousand images.

bought one of his abstract works, when we had a meeting with him, i expected, you know, something big will arrive, something in color, and a crown is also a must, for some reason i imagined it like that, no, here it is, it is looked there arrived laid not far from the sortovala, you can get here casually by car, or solemnly on a retro train, russian express number 921, started, ruskeala mountain park arrives in the second platforming of cars,

valuable types of stone were mined here from the time of catherine the great until the nineties of the twentieth century, in other words, all this splendor of the territory of the former huge plant, which in fact ... man-made, but in perception, no, a quarry filled with water up to 70 meters deep endless adits looks absolutely naturally, like pictures to the music of edvard grieg. it is not surprising that since 2017 , the summer music festival ruskilo symphony has been held regularly in the mountain park. the combination of sun, cliffs and icy depths is capable of awakening any dormant fantasy. even guides who see the quarry every day, get used to its for... no, each one is different, it is different every day, maybe the appearance, or maybe your personal attitude to what you are seeing now, we see each object differently every time,

everyone needs something of their own, and if you want solitude, solitude with nature, looking for some moment of silence. in the usa, britain, spain, italy, sweden, finland. over its thirty-year history , the company has manufactured more than 360 specialized vessels and boats. wooden shipbuilding, especially non-serial, requires

a unique level of specialists. therefore , only experienced shipbuilders work here, who provide a full range of work, from design to sea trials. ships are built according to individual projects for a specific customer, for example, sailing schooners for artek, for the karanshtat naval cadet corps and the all-russian children's center okean in vladivostok. we are very proud that petrozavodsk remains, well , such a rarity, yes, the center of wooden shipbuilding, of course, and ancient russian traditions we have a variety of copies of ancient ships, in voronezh we know the ship of peter i, yes, this is also ours. this ship was produced, therefore, of course, traditions remain, and we are proud of them, but we are also moving forward, and we are also proud that petrozavodsk is becoming a pilot project for the introduction of digital technologies into domestic shipbuilding. the onega

shipbuilding and ship repair plant, created in the early 2000s on the basis of the white sea-oneshsky shipping company, became the testing ground for these innovations. it produces river more class vessels, fishing fleet vessels and technical fleet vessels. at the moment, the enterprise is undergoing a total reformatting and reboot aimed at increasing production volumes and labor productivity, which will allow the creation of about 400 high-tech jobs to ensure the annual processing of 10 thousand tons of metal. in fact, we are creating a center of competence for digital shipbuilding, and i think that here we are implementing projects together with the st. petersburg shipyard to create both a training center. so that further across the country these formats of digital labor construction, they spread perhaps to larger tops, we are pioneers here, and this is the first project where a digital line with this digital circuit for design, control, for production quality, for certain processes,

of course, he will already be talking about a new era in domestic shipbuilding. the name of petrozavodsk literally defines the purpose of the city, it traces its pedigree back to the state-owned arms factory. it was in karelia that the first russian railway of the factory was built. cast iron wheel pipeline, the brainchild of charles gascoigne, and the current foundry petrozavodsk-mash is one of the largest machine-building enterprises in russia and the cis countries, the only manufacturer of shaped castings from any grade of cast iron weighing up to 120 tons. the enterprise produces unique products for the nuclear, petrochemical, pulp and paper, railway, shipbuilding and other industries of russia. today , a project is being implemented at the plant by 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

high-strength cast iron castings even before manufacturing. another significant project for the republic is the fr fire robotics engineering center. it was created exactly 40 years ago and in recent years has become an undisputed leader in its difficult segment. fire extinguishing systems are created here. based on monitor nozzles and robots, which are used in airports, cinema and concert halls, stadiums, oil terminals, nuclear power plants and spaceports, a full cycle from design and engineering to installation work. 24 valid patents of the russian federation for products that have no analogues. the engineering center is a member of the national academy of fire sciences safety. truly innovative enterprises, not resembling a factory in the traditional sense of the word.

complexes, 700 of which are outdoor, their production is 100% localized in

petrozavodsk, where the exercise machines have become an integral part of the urban landscape. andrey koleida, our colleague, a professional journalist and a certified history teacher, his life experience is an example of how an outsider can become a part of karelia. on the coast of lake ladazhskoye, in the very area that is famous for its picturesque skerries, he moved from moscow, created a trout farm, a fish processing complex and arranged the territory for a camping in the style of the north. auto tourists from all over

the country flocked to learn how to properly bake karilian kalitki with cranberries, lingonberries and trout. every time you come to karelia or, more precisely, come to 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 precisely that you have a feeling that you have finally returned home, and this feeling has not gone away already well, in fact, for the last 10 years, you probably feel like a lucky person in some sense, that you were lucky enough to be here. to be here in some sense even to become a part of this, this is a school. being a father of four children, he also founded a school on the shore of ladoga, 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, when you start telling children there and draw some historical parallels, tell something and build some clear structure of historical processes when you are answered using again historical parallels even in everyday life, yes, that is , when suddenly a child of 10 or 11 years old tells you the rubicon has been crossed with knowledge of the matter

where this phrase came from, perhaps this is also important. not far from the farm are the famous ahinkoski waterfalls, it was here that the film azori zde stoii based on the story of the same name by boris vasiliev was filmed. the director of the film stanislav rostotsky spoke about himself half-jokingly, i have 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 scarili and the leningrad region. on the coast of the gulf of finland, but who is rostotsky, 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 korelia in the distant future, and until then visiting here regularly, everything necessary for tourists in the republic there is.

all-union hit about leningradskoe komarovo, that which for a week before the second, sang the karelian rocks. but in the republic there are also flat beauties like the french, only the other way around, they have everything on the last syllable of 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 preserve in fact, because always giving joy is great, it is interesting, it is right. we draw strength from guests, they come from the bus, get out, so sad, and we tell them a little joke, a little treat, they leave us, hug, everyone feels 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, however, for the local

villagers this is not only prestige, but also serious troubles, no more than ten people live in the village permanently, and during the season we have to receive several thousand tourists who want to reveal the secret of the village beauty. they turned pay attention to the photographs on the walls, when i came here as a child, my grandparents, i am a city granddaughter, i studied in petrozavodsk, when i was a student, young, if they told me that i would live in a movie, and are you crazy, what would i do in this village, yes, especially in the form it was now, now i think that there is no better place for me, 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, here i am i can even imagine what they could be like if we just lived in the city. for those who love the scientific approach and want to understand brutal karelia, the bastion historical park is open all year round, consisting of several thematic areas and museums.

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, for example, the soviet-finnish wars. something between an immersive museum theater, where the audience is the participants of the action. we strive to tell the story, namely the story and minimize all the mistakes, everything that is already superficial, remove the legends and myths, give it as it is, many do not like what exactly, 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 sword is a must, a horned helmet, preferably a two-handed one, so that it generally weighs a kilogram on this,

this is in the vikings, well, of course, if we draw analogies with the present day, everything repeats itself, everything is cyclical, i already vikings i can. unwind the personality, show people how nothing has changed in a thousand years, neither people nor their aspirations, everything is actually cyclical, 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 actually have never left anywhere else, well, due to the fact that here we are... we are far from the city, it is much easier to breathe here, and you are like that, everything, and it is easier to find peace, peace, and especially in the evenings, when you

have worked well, all tired, you just like that, in one moment you froze and there is 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, making, improving something, our company is exactly that case, it developed very quickly, quickly built up muscles, we are one of the leaders in this area, in russia, i have visited many areas, european, the same part of russia and i understand perfectly well that, probably, it is more comfortable for me to be both physically and emotionally, right 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 still drawn to here, that is, in winter i like to be somewhere warm, but in summer - definitely to karelia, i always come 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 for us these are native places,

which it is impossible not to love, karelia is wonderful in all its manifestations, in nature, in the weather, in the beautiful melodious language, in the traditions, in the culture, so you don’t have to force yourself to love karelia, it makes you fall in love with samalia. it is certainly part of the thousand-year russian history: korila, olonskaya province, karelia, in fact, it is a border, and the border for almost 800 years is not the most peaceful, although it is certainly a connection between russia and 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 the finno-ugric peoples have lived in such a single national format for almost a thousand years, this is a place of unique culture, it is the pomor culture, zanezhska. and karelian, and veps with their own unique cultural code, we have unique nature, we have a unique history, pancakes, runes, and people come here for

legends, we, such a part of our russian world. completely empty streets, broken. houses, but people still remain here, somehow a tank tortured, fired, then not far, then flies through us, well, what have you decided, let's go, maybe we'll find out from grandfather, send, there are doctors there, and food there, we agree, we agree, bernie, no twitch, don't run, no paint, fine, everything's fine. i 've never seen an enemy drone so close, but their operator is still better than ours.

i'm not lucky, he's not a soldier in life, he's a bastard, an impudent one, like me, i have a bad feeling, come on, get my mother out! how to light

a spark in the heart, but also lights in the eyes, whoever is scared is defeated, you can't do without a flint and steel here, well, soldier, let's fly for all the money, i asked you, don't touch anything, i know, someday yes, try it from the inside, video recorder. fire starter, the sawmill is set, miracles, take a look, look, soon!

then our broadcast will continue with a special report by stanislav bernwald about volunteers who are evacuating residents of the kursk region. to the comforter of the soul and the same everywhere. well, here we have an icon right in front of ilya, somewhere maybe a week ago, nicholas the wonderworker, it was streaming myrrh for us, well, we just somehow did not understand, well , it was streaming myrrh, thank god, thank god, and maybe before these events all our souls are blessed, my most gracious queen. hope could,

maybe, that such events will happen, maybe, well who is this gentleman, the ways are inscrutable, we we can only guess, assume, and 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. here they also provided medical assistance to our guys, border guards, wounded in the first days of the breakthrough. became a place of salvation for both soul and body. several times the militants tried to attack the monastery, the lord took them away, because the evil done by the atheists is alien to him, - says father valery fursov. they called for the priest, father, leave, all the others, i say, as i go, the young guys are standing, and where will i leave whom? you can't imagine, when he arrives, what a spirit rises, we are the soldiers of christ standing here, and they are the soldiers of our army and of course.

when the ukrainian terrorists broke into from this side from that side in the first days, the kursk region, parishioners spent the night here, and another very interesting detail is the key that is inside the temple, that is, people came in, locked themselves in and waited out the hardest time here. mother, just like father valery, to leave the parish, she flatly refused. this

is... we always go to the front, i always go with my brothers, the soldiers are there, our guys, the drone was going straight at me, and i was with a cross , and he turned away and exploded, who blessed him, maybe god blessed him, maybe his battery ran out, i don't know, but there are a lot of miracles, specifically with these relics,
