Why do people live in cities? Then, so that they can be disposed of compactly. Oh sorry, this is from another conspiracy theory.
Well, first of all, it's more fun. Not everyone still knows the art of enjoying solitude, some still need a drinking partner. And some, even two.
Secondly, it is more convenient and cheaper. Mass production always makes the end product cheaper. Even without saving on ingredients or ingredients. No complicated logistics and constant influx of customers. This is from a business point of view.
It would seem, what does hedgehogs have to do with it?
From the point of view of a resident, everything is also chocolate. Satisfaction of every need that arises is within walking distance. You don't have to shake twenty kilometers off-road to the nearest tooth-digger from a neighboring village, when you were attacked by caries and after prolonged battles, it took up the whole tooth.
You can stop serving yourself, because there are specially trained people nearby. There is no need to learn to spin anymore in order to have new pants next year.
And, it seems, all the advantages of collective living reached people a very long time ago. Even before they became human. Those who reasonably decided that with the development of the brain they would not be able to get any special preferences and now they live like that. Wolves in packs, lions in prides, monkeys in groups. In very large groups. Sometimes even in groups, like Leningrad, if with a brass section.
All sorts of Babylon, Rome, Athens arose a long time ago. It doesn't matter on what scale. And this is understandable and logical.

Another thing is inexplicable. Why, in the 18th century, such a passion for the construction of secluded mansions near the devil on Easter cakes in a deep impassable well … thinner swamps.
1 of 5 They are just, some kind of darkness. And in such places, where not every bear will stick around unnecessarily.
Even the Bolsheviks with their horde of beggars and destitute in 1918, most of them could not find use. I don’t know if there were any attempts, but it seems that even the homeless people under the bridge, having weighed all the pros and cons, thanked them, invited them to fill in the options, if any, but politely declined the offer to live in such a palace, a palace where one would grow old to ride a reindeer..
Historians, in their own style, howl about the numerous servants. Like the millions of slaves in Egypt. Yes, they have only one disc, and as always unconvincing.
To maintain life in a house the size of a regional center, you have to catch up with the same number of people there. And what is the point, then, in your solitude, if there is a crowd of people around you, albeit helpful, but just as numerous as in the city?
If we believe the officials, then at that time, we have not yet had the technological revolution of the 19th century. There is no electricity, normal (relatively) fuel, mechanization is primitive, there is one horsepower under the hood. On rare occasions, three, on holidays.
No, well, if we build an entire Petersburg in 20 years, it’s probably not difficult to build a palace for ourselves, even in the Kolyma. Both, of course, are not feasible, they require wild tension with unobvious benefits, but approx. Having twisted one Petersburg at the temple on the grave of Peter, wherever it went. Well, a couple of such palaces, where crazy millionaires wandered alone with a candle. But in droves, from where? Negroes from Africa, like Pushkin, can no longer be discharged, they are all in the USA on plantations.
And one important detail. If they managed to build, why couldn't they support? All these "secluded old age houses" began to fall apart, even before the communist nationalization. Hands off Lenin. He had already received them in the form of ruins.
Consider, as an example, a manor in Lyalichi. Do not ask where it is, I do not know, now we will torture Yandex.
There are no people in this area even now, but at the end of the 18th century, even in Gomel there were only 5K people. So before it is another 150 km along the gullies.
Not a desert, of course, but to the call, except for a family of hedgehogs from the copse opposite, no one in the next month could have come running. And yet.
I will not now retell the entire history of the formation of the wealth of Count Pyotr Vasilyevich Zavadsky (1739-1812). According to legend, he worked all his life in responsible government posts. Sound familiar, right? Why is this legend repeated from biography to biography, almost every Russian moneybag?
Of course, there is no malice here. After all, Saltykov-Shchedrin asked to wake him up after what years. Well, you get the idea.
In addition to friendship with the state treasury, the count was close friends for some time in Catherine II. A good friendship with a good person often leads to financial success. Although Catherine did not indulge in Peter for long, he left a good impression after himself. The queen appreciated him. Both land and cash.
It seems that everything, as it should be in textbooks, is about a thieving Russian under the state treasury, but then one of the historians was attacked by melancholy, he blurred in romanticism and endowed Count Zavadsky with a human quality. Despite the breakup, Peter Vasilievich, until the end of his life, he loved and was faithful (in the same, in the same) empress. And this is despite the presence of a wife.
When he was in his suburban gardening, he always ordered to cover one of the rooms with especially solemnity, in case SHE suddenly arrived.
Of course she didn’t come. At that time, only historians could travel such distances without significant harm to health.
1 of 4 The palace was a central building with two wings connected by semicircular one-story gallery wings. The main building of the palace was three-story. The house had two main entrances: from the side of the palace and from the side of the park. Both facades were decorated with six-column porticoes and pediments. The central facades, as well as the side ones, adorned the loggias at the second floor level. The roof was crowned with a dome, through the four windows of which light generously poured into the central hall of the palace. The facades of all parts of the house were distinguished by the severity of forms and the restraint of the decor. Despite the fact that the outer decoration of the palace was distinguished by a certain consistency and laconism, the inner filling practically "screamed" about its greatness and unrestrained pompous luxury.
There are three more pages describing the parks, but these are trifles. Their hedgehogs could land and then support. I think historians will not mind this option.
A funny detail: there were about 365 rooms in the building - according to the number of days in a year.
General plan of the estate Explication of the general plan of the estate of Zavadovsky: 1 - house-palace; 2 - Catherine's Church; 3 - one of the service buildings; 4 - stable; 5 - greenhouse (not saved); 6 - service buildings; 7 - earthen dam; 8 - earthen dam; 9 - year palace (not preserved); 10 - Temple of Gratitude (not saved); 11 - stone fence of the park (the part that has survived); 12 - cascading ponds.
I think many of you have a hut in the vicinity of a metropolis and are aware of how much money and effort it costs to maintain it. And this is not a palace, and in the 21st century, and with roads, electricity and all kinds of outsourcing for the main work. Truth without a family of magic hedgehogs. Maybe it's all about them?
Or maybe, after all, in something else, which is tightly hidden by the historical nonsense from the official offices? Maybe these houses were built by someone else and in a slightly different world? Before the formation of the present human civilization?
Because, as soon as they were in our hands, and historians began to scribble legends for them, they immediately began to decline, despite the development of civilization, roads, mechanisms and an increase in the population of hedgehogs.
None of this helped. By 1910, Count Zavadsky's once luxurious secluded old-age house had somewhat darkened.
1 of 5 Some kind of asynchronous. Civilization forward. Count's house in the back.
Historians of that time did not stand on ceremony and immediately pointed to the guilty ones.
Obviously!
Of course, there is nothing surprising in Jews destroying their own assets. We all see every day how, in evil, goyam everywhere leave their homes without proper care, beat cars, and sometimes laughing inferno, even burn cash!
Surprisingly different, now if you make inquiries about the estate of Count Zavadovsky, you will receive its full description with the smallest details, as if historians personally recorded every stroke of the builders' trowel, but at the beginning of the century they wrote about the palace as if they were seeing it for the first time … And already destroyed.
It was difficult for them then to define … and now it is not difficult. It took a hundred years to invent!
And this, despite the fact that at the beginning of the century, some of the interior details were intact. Obvious blunder and sluggishness of the Jews-Golodtsov.
1 of 5 I hope everyone recognized Ancient Rome?
Well, what are you going to do? It seems that they have already climbed into the taiga. Hedgehogs, over there, around, and Rome, the bastard, and got it here.
I'll tell you a secret that it's impossible to escape from him. Did you know that some tribes of North American Indians built their wigwams in the classic style? Just how the houses looked. Remind me, then, I'll show you the pictures.
1 of 4 I can directly see people in togas among the hedgehogs of central Russia.
Tellingly, historians of the early twentieth century also seem to have seen something antique.
And, sometimes, and naked !!
By the way, you can see it too. Maybe not in the head, but definitely ancient Roman. From the count's. What the Jews-Golodtsy could not bear is hard!
So below - is, as above, apparently not yet composed. This, by the way, is Catherine II. Get to know. Do not like? Well, the count knew better, because he slept with her.
At the same time, as you probably already guessed, the count was a devoutly believing Orthodox Christian. For prayer, he built himself a personal church on the site.
1 of 2 I wonder if he had group bacchanalia there, or did he prefer to run naked among the columns alone?
Well, of course he had a church there! And, how did you think he was getting energy to maintain all this ancient Roman Greek colossus? You knock, so half an hour in the morning with your forehead on the floor, and the battery comes down on top of you. Duracell.
Naturally, he had to have some technological objects there. He was not an idiot and would not have climbed to live in the wilderness with a candle stub. On a platter.
1 of 4 Just kill, without any dying Jews - Golodtsov and stas with icons, such buildings look much more natural.
There is no feeling that some kind of props are here, as if from someone else's shoulder? I really have similar stall attachments to the walls everywhere, they cause such a feeling. Maybe I'm biased, and this is the way it should be, without observing proportions, harmony and meaning?
But this, then, in antiquity. Now, the enlightened humanity has put everything in its place and first of all brought the main thing into a divine form - the energy installation. Or what was she there?
1 from 321 century. I fucking really doubt that man is intelligent.
On this solemn and joyful note, I invite everyone to fall on their knees and stand like this all their lives. With a guilty look, looking at the cross with a tormented man. Forgive me, God-man.
PS And the palace, by the way, is not planned to be restored. Who needs such a complex, so far away? And this, despite the availability of all kinds of delivery. Including Russian Post.
And the count, judging by the number of guest rooms, managed to deliver there more than one hundred of the brightest bodies of high society. So I see, this herd of horses carrying dear guests across the sky.
