| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [REGNUM] On the territory of the Russian North, many wooden buildings of bygone times have been preserved, which are an integral part of the reserved land. For the most part, these are temples of the 17th-19th centuries, which are inscribed in the landscape and seem to be striving upward along with the strong trees that surround them. The problem is that most of them are in disrepair, and we risk losing this part of our heritage forever. But there are people who have chosen to preserve unique wooden buildings as their life's work, they do it for one simple reason - so that the memory of who we are and what real primordially Russian culture looks like is not lost. It is not in slogans and banners, it is in the wooden walls created by our ancestors, in the cultivation of our land and in creative work that unites people for a common cause. |
