00:00:00.000 - 00:00:36.840

[ Background noise ] [INAUDIBLE] OK, why don't you all stand here? [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

00:00:36.840 - 00:00:52.080

Why don't you stand all here, and I'll take a picture of you all here with the icon for [INAUDIBLE] [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] (coughing)

00:00:52.080 - 00:01:18.080

The museum started to bring things for protection, for saving. And here are the icons, although we don't have only icons, but there is a big light, because the icons are being destroyed. The conservators are coming, but we will think about a bigger place,

00:01:18.080 - 00:01:45.000

(speaking in foreign language) [ Foreign Language ] Four course dinner. (audience laughing)

00:01:45.000 - 00:02:00.680

(speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language)

00:02:00.680 - 00:02:18.200

(speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) The Mother of God's shelter, which is now in conservation.

00:02:18.200 - 00:02:36.760

People come here to visit. It's good for young people, because they can see what a decent warehouse looks like. The nets make the storage area very large.

00:02:36.760 - 00:02:52.920

The Ukrainian art in this area is very interesting. because it has a great influence on Western art, and on folk art, above all, because they were small wooden churches, mostly rural.

00:02:52.920 - 00:03:12.120

And instead of being careful, it raises the value of these things, because they are not so conventional, they are not so ordinary, but very beautiful. Here, the main painting center was the Basilian Monastery,

00:03:12.160 - 00:03:54.260

[ Foreign Language ] And this institution, from the 16th century to the 19th, produced the most things. And this is also an example of a wonderful,

00:03:54.260 - 00:04:12.860

folk art, but beautiful. This is a three-part icon, "The State's Sorrow", which is a peculiar subject in Ukrainian art. and the concept of this iconography was created in Ukraine.

00:04:12.860 - 00:04:28.860

I was wondering if they were in Uliucz? Yes, they were. So, there was a stolen iconostasis, and unfortunately, two years ago, a stolen prismatic chapel was also stolen.

00:04:28.860 - 00:04:52.780

The Prasidnicz government stole it. [ Foreign Language ] What is this music? (speaking in foreign language)

00:04:52.780 - 00:05:28.540

[ Foreign Language ] (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language) (speaking in foreign language)

00:05:28.540 - 00:05:47.580

(speaking in foreign language) but sometimes on those small, sticky scenes, there are scenes like that. And this is portrayed with dignity. Right? And here, there are no saints with their foreheads crossed, no...

00:05:47.580 - 00:06:10.120

- Crossed. - ...no crossings. Especially, you can see it on the crucifixes. In the East, Christ is standing under the cross, embracing the world with his hands. And there are no such big words as "dry" or "martyrology".

00:06:10.120 - 00:06:25.120

These two icons, unfortunately, were cut off somewhere, because they were in full shape, this is the 16th century. We bought it in Dresden, because thanks to that, I found out at the end of the year

00:06:25.120 - 00:06:46.120

that one museum does not have money, and our director gave it away quickly. [ Speaking in Polish ] and they were very damaged. And so it turned out that two boys went,

00:06:46.120 - 00:06:58.120

young people went to some camp in Bieszczady and there they found an ordinary hut, such a hut, and the windows were covered with it. But one was so intelligent that when he saw the painting,

00:06:58.120 - 00:07:15.120

he took it and then sold it. Except that they then quarreled, The police confiscated everything, because it cost over 1.6 million, about four years ago, and it was a high price.

00:07:15.120 - 00:07:26.120

They were only supposed to compensate. But I don't think they got the money. I'd like to see the money. You want to say something about that?

00:07:26.120 - 00:07:49.880

Something interesting. For example, here is... But I'll tell you about it in the future. There's a small, ruined fryer.

00:07:49.880 - 00:08:07.080

It shows the scene from Christmas. And here's a fragment, a kind of a flagpole. It's a photo / photo of you with a village man. This is the epitaph of Jacob Babolak.

00:08:07.080 - 00:08:24.600

This is his wife beating up the altar, the words, "are Christ." It says, down below on a Themeängt, "Your Engineer Petko with a dagger killed Babolak."

00:08:24.600 - 00:08:36.720

It's even worse, (laughing) There are many such things. It is always said that you can't write on monuments.

00:08:36.720 - 00:08:54.720

But sometimes there are nice messages. Once we have ears from the altar and it says "The state decree of 1840". It means that the state was abolished. and faithful to the Church.

00:08:54.720 - 00:09:13.720

The simple people wrote down their great experiences. How did your trip go? Very well. [BLANK_AUDIO]
