Finally, domestic stars got up into some intricate shape, allowing diatomaceae holidays away from home and move out at least for a couple of days of “..unwashed…” in Belarus.
Coffee yield, coffee maker premastering in operating position, shipped gifts to relatives – and about noon we started with the Taganka. The city was free and we quickly reached Mcado-Carlton is still “cork” in no way had to lose about forty minutes contrary to the calculated time.But she stayed behind, ahead of only the road, the wind in the face and police tripods, and the “Hairdryer”, of which this day was insane-in order to count on the fingers of one had and me and Tatiana to take off their shoes. The density increased as you get closer to the border….on patrolcar cars “stealth patrol” (read-private)and just on foot… Most of the way I had to go with the observance of traffic rules)))
Since I have long pulls on solenenkoe very soon had to make a stop at “poligrafkombinata” fish rynecki.
Biting rates (a couple of weblock takes a hundred rubles in banknotes), but hunting forest captivity…and then just the beer has cooled – wind has blown… well, riding is fun, inasmuch as Tatiana for a beer and don’t forget me coffee with chocolate drink.Stops bole to the border was not planned, but some natural cataclysm before Olshey awakened the gene of curiosity. That it was unclear, apparently one of the unsolved mysteries of nature…
Before the border, not mudrstvuya slyly decided to try a “fake “Mercedes” tyknut finger wanderer…the GK didn’t buy).
GK-Troika from “Spassky gate” fifteen days is as at home – 570 roubles, and sold in the entire European Union. Little Dale refueled at long favored by the former”Mega-Oyle (gasoline at tracee 18-50 95th, when approaching the border more expensive than the ruble, here 18-70), poehalis elbows to Russian customs arch.
and here it is, Belarus…
Here the road became smoother, and the sun shone brighter..In the exchanger at the boundary 83 of the ruble waved Belarusian money and continued on his way, pre-rakosiensis 22 ruble road charge.Bunt for M1 happens not once a year, therefore, in recent time change otopitelno press on the gas pedal for slower and more fidgety way through the roads of discharge…Much nicer and more interesting to go-there is something to see, where to stay for a nice walk-clearskincare..
For example, on the river Bobr.
drink some water from a spring
Speaking of Parking lots. Beautifully made place to stay.The vast majority have tables-arbors, pisellini, waste (in the forest lying around the bumps and not garbage).
Increasing the number of feeding points.
Local people often use the areas as places for picnics…
A Parking lot equipped with racks where you can check the condition of the nails in the horseshoes of his horse.
In General, “Made for people”.
“P”head to the road nice and beautiful.
Along them grow unidentified trees covered with white flowers (apparently a local variety of mangrove trees 🙂 )
And what intoxicating sweet smell in waves from the fields..!
Of course, the quality of the roads WHILE not perfect – are the place to be “smoothly-wavy” uneven, but the quality of the coating allows fearlessly flushing “all the money”. The pits and bumps of not.
The only thing annoying is the frisky Fox and the otter with the face of a weasel and the body of a ferret, a kind of local werewolves in fur…So frisky that to take pictures of them just do not have time. And of course, fully grown heifers and parous cows…
Sometimes slipping into a dense column, no column, and colonies of wandering postanovachno and stubbornly to one of the known target…
Bobruisk met us in a cafe with an intriguing name…
Bobruisk is one of the oldest cities of Belarus. For the currently available results of archaeological research, people lived in these areas since the V—VI centuries (known settlement of the ancient Slavs on the river Berezina, which is located above the current Bobruisk). Furthermore, the known finds of stone tools, which suggests that people could live in these parts since the stone age.
In the period of Kievan Rus on the site of modern Babruysk there was a village, whose inhabitants engaged in fishing and fur trade. First mentioned in 1387 (chronicle Bobrowski, Bobruisk, Bobruisk) in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (parish center). In the days of the Commonwealth in Bobruisk there was a castle (burned down in 1649). To the Russian Empire moved in 1792 as a town. In 1795 the County town of Minsk province. The coat of arms was approved on 22 January 1796.
Bobruisk is mentioned in written sources from the late fourteenth century as a small settlement which already existed in Kievan Russia. It arose on the high right Bank of the Berezina, near the confluence of the river Bobruiky. The site of ancient Bobruisk was located 200 m from the mouth Bobruiky upstream of the Berezina river on a high hill. Steep slope protected the settlement from the Berezina. From the other side was dug a defensive ditch that separated the medieval castle from the growing city. Bobruisk has evolved into a kind of triangle between the rivers Berezina, Bobruiky and stream Dneprovets which protected the settlement of a deep channel from the North-West, falling to the left in Bobruiky. The dam, located on the river created an additional barrier on the outskirts of the settlement from the West. Since the XVth century, from the time of king Casimir, residents of Bobruisk and villages of the parish serving a “guard” against the Tatars, built fortifications, inspect bridges and perform other duties. The Bobruisk population of the parish was obliged to regularly deliver supplies and people for military fortification works in the Kyiv castle.The city was in the territory, which was often subjected to raids of the Crimean Tatars, and it was repeatedly besieged by the enemy. So, in 1502 the town of Bobruisk has devastated the Crimean Tatars, in 1503 attack again, but Prince Semyon Slutsky defeated the enemy near Bobruisk, took the loot and freed the prisoner.
In 1648-1649 gg., when Belarus broke out feudal war, Bobruisk experienced a number of severe shocks, from which it never recovered until the beginning of the war of the Commonwealth with the Russian Empire (1654-1667). In October of 1648 the town without resistance surrendered to the detachment headed by Colonel Filon Garkusha. He left the squad Podolskogo, who together with the citizens in January 1649 for 4 weeks fought off the besiegers of the city groups of the gentry and mercenaries. In January 1649 Bobruisk was taken by storm coming up from under the troops Mozyr J. Radziwill, who helped some of the townspeople. Taken by surprise, the rebels were killed.During the war of 1654-1667. in March 1655, the Cossacks N. Zolotarenko captured Bobruisk. In his report to Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich N. Zolotarenko reported that the Bobruisk and the Royal quarter his troops burned, so that in the future when Chom derjatsa enemies and the enemies of your Royal Majesty.” The remains of the garrison, partly composed of mercenaries, was put “under the sword”. In 1665, the city was again devastated by the Cossacks, and lost its importance as a major trade and craft centre.
After the war the city and the castle fortifications were restored.
In the 1980s, many residents emigrated to the United States, Canada, Australia and Israel. 23 Oct 1988 date of commencement of the recovery community. This day was inaugurated the Club of Jewish culture. It was created by Jewish charity “Rachamim” (translated from the Hebrew “Mercy”) and act of charity center of social and humanitarian assistance “Hesed”. Out city newspaper community “Gesher” (“Bridge”). The city was open for the faithful two synagogues.
According to the population census of 1999 in Bobruisk lived:
* Belarusians — 75,1 %
* Russian — 19,6 %
* Ukrainians — 3,0 %
* Jews — 0,6 %
* Poles — 0,4 %
* Other — 1.2% of
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, more than 90% of the Jewish community emigrating to USA, Canada, Australia, Israel, Germany.
Time was running out, and we limited ourselves to a visit to one of the FORTS of Bobruisk fortress and external inspection of the ice Palace.
Bobruisk fortress — the fortress, which was built according to the plan Opermane the Russian army near Bobruisk in the years 1807-1812, and rebuilt until 1825.
In 1812, the fortress was armed with more than 300 guns, the walls of the barracks had a thickness of 7-8 bricks, separate bastions of 8-10 bricks, and was impenetrable for the then artillery. The fortress was surrounded by high earthen rampart and the canal with water.
Participated in the construction of 50 battalions of soldiers and a large number of civilian, also to massively participate in the construction of had the surrounding farmers. The fortress was built on the site of an ancient castle; the powder magazine of the Jesuits was taken from the monastery.
In the construction of the fortress was actively involved Teodor Narbut. The fortress withstood a long siege by the French during the war of 1812. In the XIX century served as a political prison. Here were imprisoned Decembrists, the Petrashevsky circle, V. Dunin-Martsinkevich, Pavlyuk Bagrim. The fortress was the site of the uprising soldiers of the disciplinary battalion (1905). In the fortress were a Polish concentration camp for prisoners of war (1919-1920, about 1 thousand victims), a German concentration camp during the great Patriotic war (killed and starved to death about 40 thousand Soviet soldiers and about 40 thousand civilians).
From the fortifications of Bobruisk fortress remained only a few FORTS, fragments of shafts, Rogachev gate.
After climbing through the bowels of the Fort was under the impression that he has already undergone restoration.
If you dive into this hole,
the passing through the “tunnel” can be inside the Fort,Vilesse here
In the absence of laziness you can climb to the roof.Visible even “that” old masonry ceiling.
Krysa resembles a grassy hilly meadow, where boys and girls make love and build far-reaching plans.
From the roof good view of the Ice Palace.
So to speak
The Palace is very modern and roomy – more than 7 thousand people.
“Unfortunately, the authors of the project made an approach to the Palace so that destroyed the historic structure of the trees.The new building can be safely fit into the existing architectural environment. We will insist that the beauty of fortifications preserved. The new premises of the Louvre was built in the courtyard of this historical monument. Everything is done so delicately that it does not violate the architecture of the Louvre. The ice Palace in Bobruisk is planned in high-tech style. The building is not deep feelings, no rejection.”
“- But why build a Palace in the fortress?
– To get money for restoration. Such projects as the Ice Palace, well-funded. To save the heritage, it is necessary to find a compromise. While glad for the protection of historical monuments took counsel how to save employment of a fortress, the construction of the Ice Palace began.We chose this place, to breathe life into a fortress. To fully rebuild, need a lot of money. Such costs can not afford even the Republican budget. The fortress will be developed as a tourist destination.”
From an interview with “Komsomolskaya Pravda” Armen Sardarov, Dean of the faculty of architecture BNTU.
However, the time Tukalo on the head with hammers in the way, way, way”…but that’s the road to Teschin pancakes are slow-every twenty minutes had to stop, and typing in the mouth of the wiper, to sprinkle on the windshield and scrub it with a cloth, removing the countless corpses of small insects – the wipers could not cope…And when I escaped the army, Khrushchev began full byada…not only that, it creates a sense of uninterrupted osypanie machine peas hit the glass at the speed of an insect, the size of a finger, turning into a huge stain from the inside, which made further movement impossible…Stops became more frequent…up to hundreds to one or two beetle suicides on the properties) in the area of Oltenia the driver’s wiper(((..Almost dogs Sayclub…
Nevertheless, we got to Soligorsk.
Nice noting the arrival and sleeping in haste in the morning we went to Nesvizh, acquainted with the “Residenza Radziwill”.
Nesvizh (Belarus. Naswei) is a city in the Minsk region of Belarus. The population is 14.3 thousand people (2004).
According to tradition, the first mention of the city was previously associated with the name of Yuri Nesvizh(in nekatoryh sources Nesvizha), who with his retinue took part in the battle on the river Kalka (now kalchyk) may 31, 1223 (“the Tale of bygone years”). The result of the battle he was killed, and the consonance of the name of the Prince with the name of the city was the reason for his identification as the specific Prince of the city Nesvizh. However, this version was refuted by scientists in the late 80-ies of XX century.
Archaeological excavations conducted in these areas show about the city’s history, which began no earlier than the XV century. Version of the specific Principality also found its confirmation is not found no evidence of the existence here of fortifications. Standing here, the yard was just a small parish. Thus, the city got younger on almost two centuries, the first written mention of it now relate to 1446. Shults appears in the records in connection with the transfer of the town from the Grand Duke of Lithuania Casimir Jagiellon to Mikolaj Jan Nemirovich
In 1492 the Grand Duke Alexander gave the city the richest Belarusian magnate Peter Gut. Thus, Shults came into the possession of to a known genus, one of the representatives of which, Anna, in 1513, she married Jan radziwiłł, nicknamed the Bearded, who received the city’s possession as the bride’s dowry (“tow”). In 1533, it became finally goes to the Radziwill:
We went from Salihorsk not travel the roads and their gardens, and on the way picked up something interesting.
As it turned out, on arrival home it turned out to be the remains of the Stalin Line
The line of Stalin — in the 1930-ies the nodal system of fortifications at the “old” (i.e. before 1939) the border of the USSR, consisting of fortified areas from the Karelian isthmus to the shores of the Black sea.
In the Soviet Union these fortifications was never officially called the “Stalin Line”. So they were called just German propaganda and the Western press.
The construction of the first thirteen fortified areas (SD) began in 1928: Karelian, Kingiseppsky, Pskov, Polotsk, Minsk, Mozyr, Korosten, Kiev, Novograd-Volynskiy, Letichevsky, Mohyliv-Podilskyi, Rybnitsa, Tiraspol fortified.
These fortifications were a length of from 50 to 150 km on the front, included the pioneering role and the obstacles to a depth of 12 km, and the basic positions to a depth of about 4 km. the Level flanks were covered by natural barriers, and each UR was supposed to cover an important route.
In 1938, construction began on eight new Levels between existing: Ostrovsky, Sebezhsky, Slutsky, Shepetivka, Iziaslav, Stara Constantine, Ostropolsky, Kamyanets-Podilsky fortifications.
According to German data (compiled after the capture of the Stalin Line in 1941) only on this line (not counting the Karelian SD) was 142 casemates and positions for field artillery (caliber 76 mm), 248 casemates and bunkers for anti-tank guns (caliber 45 mm) and 2572 casemates and bunkers for machine guns. Most of the buildings had been built in the Minsk UR — 33 artillery 114 anti-tank, machine-gun 401. In some Urach absolutely no artillery positions (Polotsk UR) or anti – (Mozyr, Korosten, Letichevsky, Rybnitsa URS).
After joining the Soviet Union in 1939-40 Western Belarus, Western Ukraine, the Baltic republics and Bessarabia — “Stalin Line” was mothballed, and approximately 300 kilometers West began to build a new Molotov Line.
Despite the removal of permanent combat duty, “Stalin Line” has played some role in the beginning of the great Patriotic war. Some of the Levels were occupied in early July 1941, assigned to him machine-gun battalions, as well as some of the retreating units of the red Army, and resisted the enemy from several days to two weeks.
In 2005 in Belarus with the use of Pillboxes was established historical and cultural complex “Stalin Line” — military-historical Museum under the open sky: http://www.stalin-line.by/
Today, some Bunkers are used IMHO for the protection of the barn.
and their inhabitants.
But back to Nesvizh.
