From a very young age, our brains are programmed about "civilized Europe", about kings and kingdoms, about Empires and wars. I have nothing against the Europeans, but their fragmentation into small invented states with sovereigns became a tool for parasites to distort the concept of what development really is. But as soon as it comes to us, about huge Russia, it’s not that the blanks and silence, we are told about some kind of illiteracy, bast shoes, dugouts and thatched roofs. In general, we are savages and barbarians, as all historians of the World, including ours, were forced to say.
But our editor, Sasha Boguzhanov, manipulated the search engine - he entered the query "abandoned estates of the Vladimir region" into Google and then into the photo item. Now we observe these dugouts with thatched roofs:
Here we have such a wonderful backwardness.
And as usual we see a picture of entire architectural complexes, where quality, style and work are in every meter.
Let's take a closer look at the "dugouts" and "straw huts". For example, abandoned buildings, which for some reason are called churches.
Promotional video:
Smolensk region, Novoduginsky district, village Vysokoe. The building was built according to the official legend in 1868-1871:
And this is the Kirov region. 1729 g:
Penza region. 1806:
Ryazan Oblast. Between 1824 and 1839:
Lipetsk region. End XVIII:
Vladimir region. 1844:
And here is for you inside the building located in the Tver region:
Look at what a grandiose brickwork that has been standing since 1832.
And this is the Moscow region:
Why I doubt they are churches. Do you remember the latest films about Mills or ask an additional query in Google, for example, "pre-revolutionary steam power plant", "old hydroelectric power station", "old tile factory", "brick", "metallurgy", and so on and so on - all this ancient architecture, even very often one to one, will be similar to the old "churches". And if there are moments in some churches that defy analogy, then that industry was produced there, which is not known to us. Here, probably, we have these so-called churches of the antique, I repeat once again, of the antique era and were demolished by the dark, although the flock is more beneficial to them than vice versa. And they demolished the most concrete objects that should not be in front of our eyes.
Now let's look at the so-called estates.
Khrapovitsky's estate in Muromtsevo. Here is an old photo:
And here is the modern one:
As you can see, such beauty has been abandoned, given time to destruction.
Manor of the manufacturer Krestyaninov:
In general, modern builders and designers should gather in crowds at every meter of such walls, as lovers of old wines do in a collection cellar, savoring these masterpieces of the past. But it could be in a normal World. In ours, however, such masterpieces are thrown to their own devices, not taken care of and are not studied.
The estate of Prince A. B. Kurakin in the Penza region:
Just beauty. Those who love brick masterpieces simply enjoy every detail, visually reading with their eyes huge paragraphs of architecture built like a magnificent book novel.
Even the columns are made of bricks. To build such a thing, excuse me, a simple Vasya, illiterate from the master's whip, will never be able to.
By the way, there were quite a few metal structures in these establishments at one time. All that remains of them shows - preserved in good quality, there is no rust on them. This is not modern metal for you.
We also see the usual picture that the floor of the floors was also made of bricks, holding on to metal beams, which of course is not practiced today by brick masters.
Abandoned imperial manor palace:
Inside, of course, the most powerful beauty.
In general, considering everything that is old, whether it is a building, both outside and inside, even clothes or an elementary lamp post, and then you compare it with the tasteless and inept engravings of historians and school textbooks that supposedly illustrate the backward past, then you begin to quite reasonably doubt their authenticity … After all, in the past, everything was head and shoulders above and with art. After all, these masterpieces even in a samovar or a cutlery, and here they shove us drawings, as if they were drawn by a seven-year-old child.
For example, we can also consider the abandoned estate of Morozova:
As you can see, there are so many beautiful things in Russia and for some reason abandoned.
In order to bring such masterpieces to life, a whole chain of industries and craftsmen is needed. And in order for the craftsmen and production to be, you need to have skilled specialists who teach this craft, how to build it in practice. It takes a whole historical scale of trial, experience, success and failure in order to ultimately come to such mastery and create something that stands for centuries, withstanding many wars and revolutions.
There is an opinion that abandoned buildings are quite a typical phenomenon. Yes, I agree, but this is typical only for our time and our ruling elite, since the past society treated its work so much with love, how everything was carefully built and how beautiful, it certainly did not have such a mindset as we, degraded.
Let's see what remains of the Borozdino estate:
And some food for the mind to complete.
As I said, a developed civilization is a single “planet”. Backward - fragmented and at war with itself. Let us now go over this yardstick to measure our "history". Before Gorbachev - What size was the Union? Not weak. Before the Maidan 17th year, the Russian Empire is even larger. Before the emergence of the Empire of Russia, the territory was even more united. That is, such a huge territory where people are not divided into friends and foes. But, it turns out, according to historians, we have no past and were savages. It is not possible to rule such a vast territory with backwardness.
And here, very small Italy, the size of the Kharkov region, has a much more history than we do. Don't you think this is strange? If such a large territory did not degrade into small invented states, as was done with Europe, it certainly cannot be backward. And this is very striking, from that more and more we are crushed, so that we regress.
