The guard of honor illuminated this solemn moment with a triple salvo, and then the majestic and strict Russian and Kuban national anthems sounded over the square.

How a masterpiece was created… Work on the creation of the monument began on June 2, 2003. A competition was organized and held best project. It was attended by seven author's teams of leading Kuban masters. Months of creative searches, disputes, agreements, and then "jewelry" painstaking work over the casting of sculpture in the Rostov art studio. From Rostov to Krasnodar, more than one hundred kilometers of road with bridges, settlements, power lines, where a massive sculpture simply cannot be carried out. And then the pilots of the Black Sea Fleet came to the rescue. The Ka-32 helicopter, putting aside missiles and torpedoes, helped a comrade-in-arms to get to his last line.

The eyes of the audience opened a magnificent sculpture of a Kuban Cossack - a symbol of all previous generations, to which, as Alexander Nikolayevich Tkachev quite rightly noted: “We owe the development of our fertile land and today's life". Metropolitan Isidor solemnly illuminated the monument, asking the Lord God for many years, well-being and peace of mind for the inhabitants of Kuban.

Monument to signalers of the Kuban In Japan there is a monument to dogs-communicators: a large dog with a mail bag.

In Kaluga there is a bust of Pavel Golubitsky, the founder of domestic telephony. There is also something in Krymsk now. It turned out to be an interesting instance.

Three meters high. Width - a meter and a half. At the base is a pedestal-shaped pedestal, made, as in the best crypts of Paris, of marble chips. Ends protrude from the sides of the pedestal handset. Huge, designed to perpetuate analog communications. The composition is crowned by a real satellite dish. According to the data sheet, this picks up even weak signals from distant galaxies. "Where are you fellow aliens? Where?" - it seems that this is how the new object of culture asks the sky.

A bit about the master Levon Khachatryan sculpted a wonderful figure from a nugget. This is not his first experience in art. At the entrance to Krymsk there is an eight-meter stele dedicated to the 140th anniversary of the city - the pride of the author. Traces of his innate talent can also be found in Sweden and England. There are Armenian symbolic crosses with ornaments - khachkars. So that's where the life-affirming outlines of the monument to the signalers of the Kuban came from! The sculptor simply remained true to himself. An enviable quality for an artist.

"Pchelinsky" creations Krasnodar sculptor Valery Pchelin became famous thanks to the monument to dogs. Bee dogs, thanks to their noses and paws worn to a shine, can be seen from afar. The people, quick to invent, immediately composed that a tailed pair brings good luck and wealth, one has only to rub them and throw a coin on a pedestal. How successful the experiments are is unknown. But the fact that these dogs will not bite on the leg, that's for sure))).

slide number 1

What is included in the concept small homeland"? Of course, this is the place where he was born, grew up, learned the beauty of nature, got acquainted with life. But, in addition to memories of one’s own childhood, this concept also includes knowledge of a kind of “childhood”, the history native land, knowledge of the names of people who have devoted their lives to the study of the past.
The most famous historical monuments are dolmens, burial mounds and settlements.
In the course of the story, the presentation is viewed and the geography of the presented objects is tracked on the map.
On the territory of the Krasnodar Territory, thousands of monuments are scattered, which, according to historical and cultural significance are on a par with the famous Stonehenge and are the same age as the Egyptian pyramids.

Slide number 2-5

These are dolmens. For 200 years, historians and archaeologists have been trying to unravel the mysteries surrounding these structures. Dolmens are ancient megalithic (that is, composed of big stones or stone slabs) man-made structures of a certain shape. In our region, dolmens are mainly concentrated on the coast. The Circassians have ancient legend about dolmens. According to him, giants (narts) and weak, helpless dwarfs once lived on the site of their buildings. Out of pity for them, the Narts erected houses of stone slabs for this people, leaving only a small opening so that a very small man could pass through it. Therefore, in translation from the Adyghe, the name of these structures means "dwarf houses".

At present, work on the study of dolmens is carried out no less actively, more and more new expeditions are being undertaken.
Question to the class: What are dolmens? What legends are associated with them? What monuments of world culture do they resemble?

slide number 6

Along with dolmens, burial mounds are vivid evidence of past cultures. Burial mounds are burial mounds of great historical importance. The kurgan method of burial is inherent in almost all nomadic and sedentary tribes that lived on the territory of the Kuban in the Early Iron Age.

One of the most famous researchers who made an invaluable contribution to the development of the history of the Kuban is Nikolai Ivanovich Veselovsky.

Immediately upon arrival in the Kuban in 1895, N. I. Veselovsky visited Yekaterinodar on July 18, examined the sights and antiquities of the museum, created on the initiative of the historian E. D. Felitsyn at the Kuban Regional Statistical Committee back in 1879. The scientist produced photographs from some rare historical items. And then he left for the excavation site in the yurt of the village of Varenikovskaya. July-August next year the archaeologist studied burials in the area of ​​the village of Belorechenskaya, and in 1897 he conducted excavations between the villages of Yaroslavskaya and Kostroma and at the same time in the city of Maykop.

In 1898, Nikolai Ivanovich explored one of the ten Ulsky mounds (in the present village of Ulyap) with a rich burial of the leader of the tribe.

In 1906, Professor N. I. Veselovsky explored the barrows of the villages of Kaluzhskaya and Afipskaya, in 1908-1909 he continued to work in the village of Ulsky, in 1911 in Bryukhovetskaya and Novodzhereliyevskaya, and in 1912 in Rogovskaya, Maryanskaya and in the yurt of the village of Tulskaya.

It should be said that all the long-term and selfless work of Nikolai Ivanovich Veselovsky was only the threshold for multifaceted and large-scale archaeological research, which is now systematically and annually conducted in the Kuban...

Question to the class: What is a mound? Who is one of the famous researchers of the Kurgan culture? What mounds did he study?

Slide number 7-10

Fortified settlements are also classified as cultural and historical monuments. An ancient settlement is a place where in ancient times there was a city or a fortified settlement.

There are many such historical objects on the territory of the Krasnodar Territory. In particular, the Ilyichevsk settlement is located in the Otradnensky district.

Its first researcher was Mikhail Nikolaevich Lozhkin. He personally discovered and excavated, together with scientists and students of the Kuban State University, the Ilyichevsk settlement, on which he discovered the remains of the medieval urban center of the western outskirts of the famous Alania, valuable for science. The settlement was explored in the 1960s by N.V. Anfimov and in the early 1990s by V.N. Kaminsky. Excavations made it possible to classify the ancient settlement as an urban-type settlement and date it to the 9th-13th centuries. The city stood on the Darinskaya branch of the Great silk road and was one of the largest trade, craft and military centers of the Alanian state in the North-Western Caucasus. There are other nearby archaeological sites various eras.

Question to the class: What is a settlement? What city is located in our area? Which of the archaeologists was engaged in research of this historical monument?

Student performances based on pre-prepared materials.

slide number 11

1st student: Dolmens as monuments of art. By placing the slabs with precise construction calculations, the creators of the dolmens also showed themselves as architects. Almost everywhere, the side plates and the roof protrude somewhat above the front wall. It turns out a U-shaped portal. The back wall is usually lower than the front, and the roof lies sloping. All this made it possible to single out the structural elements in the building - the arch-bearing supports and to express a sense of the strength, inviolability of the dolmen. It was the desire for strength that required the construction of dolmens from five large slabs, and not from paving stones or torn stone. Solidity, invincibility makes the Caucasian tombs related to the Egyptian pyramids. The similarity is natural. Both were supposed to serve as eternal dwellings for people who considered this life a temporary haven and embodied faith in another life in monumental stone tombs. Outside, the dolmens were not decorated in any way, although their walls are an ideal plane for an ornamental frieze. But such a frieze will inevitably destroy the plane of everything architectural structure. Therefore, in those rare cases when there is an ornament on the dolmens, it is reduced to narrow belts of the pattern: for example, in the valley of the river. Zhane - zigzags on the portal of the side plates protruding in front of the entrance to the dolmen. The solidity of the walls is not broken by this.
slide number 12

2nd student: Big Maykop mound - monument of the Bronze Age. Having world fame, served as a standard for highlighting the Maikop culture. Investigated in Maikop (now it is Kurgannaya Street) in 1897 on the instructions of Professor N.I. Veselovsky. Under the embankment, over 10 m high, there was a burial pit, divided by wooden partitions into three parts. In the cells, a man and two women lay in a crouched position, on their right side; the man was covered with a veil richly embroidered with gold plaques in the form of walking bulls and lions. Next to it were 8 silver rods, tools made of bronze and stone, weapons, ceramics, 14 silver and 2 gold vessels. Near the women were also jewelry. Finds from the burial mound date back to the 3rd millennium BC. and still surpass in richness other complexes of the Maykop culture.
slide number 13

3rd student: Elizabethan settlement - located on the southern edge of St. Elizabethan, stretched along the root terrace of the Kuban River. The area of ​​the posad is built up with estates of the village. It is original in that it has two mound-shaped citadels surrounded by a common moat. This part of the settlement was not built up and is available for inspection. In the cliff of the terrace, cultural layers are exposed, and fragments of ceramics, bones and other objects are crumbling to its foot. It has been studied since 1934 by V.L. Gorodtsov, V.P. Shilov, M.V. Pokrovsky, N.V. Anfimov. It has been established that the settlement has existed since the 5th century BC as a fortified settlement of the Meotian tribe and a trading post of the Bosporan Greeks. A center of crafts, primarily of ceramic production. The area of ​​the settlement was up to 200 x 500 m. In addition, a separate ditch and rampart cut off several more hectares from the steppe (the latter has not been preserved). The cemeteries of the settlement are known.
