[Cajinguy]

Sergey, you are unique as a a great researcher, videographic presenter, history teacher and entertaining personality! Thanks for another 'Big Time' life stream video of another wonderful Russian town with so much history! I wish I could contribute more, but always give 2 'Thumbs Up'.

These towns on the banks of rivers are so beautiful in the summer !

[dianebooth]

Yes stay out of politics. One of the reasons I love watching your videos is because it is an escape from politics! Thank you,

[susanpfaust]

Thank you for going to all these historical places, even the small places - it is very important - keep doing it please

I’m enjoying the video. This is a wonderful, interesting place. As others, it is multifaceted like a beautiful gemstone and unique in it’s own way. I really appreciate the knowledge and information that you give us. As you travel I have realized that sometime in the distant past my ancestors were there, which is not something I can prove except I feel it in my bones. Over the long span of time, my ancestors were in many places, and in America since 1640. We are brothers in that we have Adam as our father, which I say in truth.

Vika is lucky to have Russian history come to life as she encounters as the same time during her school. That's awesome! Thanks for the nice tours! I wish I was able to see this live. Maybe tomorrow I can make it! God bless!

There are lots of green buildings here and green scenery--my favorite color. There are neat, old buildings in this old town. It is especially interesting to see the old churches. Good history lessons today!

Hallo Sergey I have a question to you why are the trees painted white some part of the tre. Tack så mycket....

[susanandrew]

Are the blueish trees along the river some variety of willow ? They must be very old .

[ВишвамитраГурудэв]

Самое примечательное, это дороги особенно центральная вся в ямах .

[СергейКарташков-эъ]

Ё-моё, в Воронеже и области уже в три слоя асфальт кладут, и плитку на плитку (и, самое паршивое, асфальт на брусчатку на Проспекте - Бол. Дворянской((, - а тут, в туристическом знаковом городе - дороги как при Ельцине(( Надо сюда воронежских асфальтоукладчиков, что ли, командировать))
* хотя нет: досмотрел до старинной булыжницы, на 1:22:05, - надо этого стиля придерживаться (т.е. лучше каменицу, пусть стилизованную. где старинная не сохранилась, нежели асфальт, от которого никакого шарма; но не то ямы то канавы, конечно)
* * Реставрация, пусть пока не шатко, не валко, но идет (нацпроекты всё же добрались), но жаль, что заброшками становятся старые резьбяные избы - их бы выкупить, отреставрировать, и стали бы жемчужинками старого стиля, как в Иркутске.
* * * А там только улица Сварога, из язычества? - а то вдруг Перун и Хорс обидятся))
* * * * Только сейчас обратил внимание, что Достоевский как будто зябко кутается, - на памятнике схвачена важная деталь...

[susanandrew]

That dog did not read the signs, the park is a nice memorial
