exhibits from the russian hermitage are not returned to africa in russia, people do not know what lootingeal something from a store you will be put in jail to waste toilets. in russia ask people to wash themselves with their whole body and even take a bath. in russia there is no soros foundation there are no colorful ukrainian performances in russia you cannot interrupt the career of an actor you don't like, because he can sue you and accuse you of quitting. there is no progressive movement in russia. vladimir putin's children don't smoke crack oh, it's a pity there is no crack in russia, which means there is no good music. russia introduces only retaliatory sanctions. in russia, this is bad for herd immunity. and when you run from russia showed you the statistics. how many countries support russia and now i want to show you one more support? in my opinion, maybe even more important, i think you will understand. why did we name the program that way? look at dnepropetrovsk, for the holiday , a 15-story ukrainian coat of arms was lit on the building, and 150 km appeared in the background in

hello vladimirovich and now the leaders are heading to the hermitage before the appearance of our programe, heard or saw what was happening in the literal sense of the word behind the scenes of big politics. which we managed to do, of course, became historical. and here it is the most important moment, the final crime of the leaders, our program was the only one that drew attention to zelensky's public antics at the last summit of the normandy four and captured this excitement. 12 km 2015, these shots showed no peace zelensky did not want a special status for donbass, it is constantly necessary, of course, to extend the validity of the agreement on the special status of certain regions of donbass and ultimately make this norm permanent, as provided for in the minsk agreements more in addition, then in our program we managed to ask a question to zelensky, and in the commentary he made it clear that the minsk agreements are not going to be fulfilled , time is changing, in principle. our the country, his assistants are visible when they see that it’s not zelensky at all with russian journali

, but over the years we have brought up our restorers, we sent them for internships in the hermitage the tretyakov gallery. we have experience at the level of even employees of restorers, they have their own contacts, their friends. and today the restoration center is more than that, we even we take works of art for restoration, what is called the salt of the people, any people who wish to possess the icons of babushkina talked. yes, they say appraisers are only in nhm, meaning more in the country. of course not, which is why today the national art museum is gaining momentum. indeed, this is a renaissance thanks to the support of the head of state. this is not just a museum. this is the main scientific and educational center. i would say so. everything is there, and, of course, the main thing is his mission. this is education. it is not only aesthetic patriotic, but also of course, when communicating with our treasures, including white. and in general , a chic exposure, they will be expanded. that's why i say vladimir ivanovich under the sign of infinity - this is the most accurate n

the hermitage now houses a and is one of the brightest such pearls of the archaeological collection heretems. and that's why indeed, this is the discussion she, well , she got such a material, let's say. so the incarnation is very popular this theme. e in bulgarian historiography. yes, these eastern roots are now retrospective. we can say that then because of the bad began to come, and in the 18th century in the nineteenth, and the bulgarian settlers. this is some kind of element of returning to a certain bulgarian homeland about the homeland, it was present there, and so to speak, with what mood did the bulgarians go in the 19th century to well, the desert lands of novorossiya, what they gave in general, uh, in this sense, like uh, the colonists, like the people who developed these steppes, and what russia gave to the bulgarians, the colonists, received excellent conditions for government subsidies and various assistance. uh, they could possibly have an incredible career. we know russian right up to the generals. hmm, of bulgarian origin, not a few such examples of novorossiya played a

previously, after all , this work was taken to the hermitage for restoration, and now the tretyakov gallery was paid money to our russian colleagues. but over the years we have educated our restorers, moreover, we even take works of art for restoration, what is called a salt? indeed, this is a renaissance thanks to the support of the head of state. this is not just a museum. this is the main scientific and educational center of this education, aesthetic and patriotic. and, of course, joining ours. including belarusian and also a little about the personal, how vladimir ivanovich survived the loss of his muse and wife, which helps him not to give up and continue to create, what the hero of the day will do in the next five years. watch the full version of the interview on the official youtube channel of the program. say don't be silent. this baritone thunders all over the world, but its owner does not dream of the la scala stage with his voice, he sings in the big platinum timbre of the national opera and ballet theater today for 50 years, of which vladimir gromov has been serving in the big p

and guess how alexander ii is connected with berlin, london, paris and the hermitage, everything is very the name of the hotels that were located on alexander ii street in mstislavl. moreover, the name of the hotel fell in with the generally accepted image of cities, for example, the london hotel is very stiff. people came here exclusively for work, and the paris hotel is literally a place of entertainment according to the stories of historians. the entire former, alexander ii street used to be dotted with hotels and inns with unusual names, alas, but the eagle hotel in berlin has not survived to this day. but the st. petersburg army. successfully fits into the architectural appearance of the city and today it is curious, but earlier the device hotels were somewhat unusual for us . there was no reception at the bottom. the upper floors were rented out for rooms, while the lower ones were for the needs of public organizations. and now, in fact, nothing has changed. upstairs, there are people, and downstairs, shoe repair and a hairdresser. moreover, what is the most popular local beauty sa

written sources, which, respectively, uh, on these steppe territories, really located these e, in the hermitage are now a and is one of the brightest such pearls of archaeological collections of medieval objects. and that's why indeed, this is the discussion she, well , she got such a material, let's say. so the incarnation is very popular this theme. e in bulgarian historiography. yes, these eastern roots are now retrospective. we can say that when the danube began to come, and in the 18th century in the nineteenth, and the bulgarian settlers. this is some kind an element of returning to a certain afghan territory about the motherland. the table is yes, you can say so, with what mood did the bulgarians travel in the 19th century to nu the desert lands of novorossiya, what did they give in general, uh, in this sense, like uh, colonists, like people who mastered these degrees, and that russia gave the bulgarians, the colonists, received excellent conditions for government subsidies of various assistance. uh, they could possibly have an incredible career. we know russian right up to the generals
