Yesterday, September 24, in Mstislavl, Mogilev region, the main day of celebrations of two events in Belarus at once took place - the Dozhinki festival and the traditional knight's fest, which is held every September in Mstislavl. Since Mstislavl had the right to receive Dozhinki this year, it was decided to combine both events. Smolensk residents should know about this event, as it is a wonderful opportunity to make a weekend trip and have a good time together with Belarusian brothers. IN next year Dozhinki will take place somewhere else, but the knight's fest will take place anyway. So some 120 km - and you find yourself in another state on a fun holiday. Well, this year the guests of Mstislavl were lucky enough to witness two events of regional, and even republican significance at once.

*Technical clarification. The second record in a row I put a photo in high resolution to view them in all their glory on high-definition screens, such as apple retina. Therefore, the download is slower.

Mstislavl is a small town in the east of the country, 10 km from the border with the Smolensk region. The population is a little over 10 thousand people, so it can be compared with Smolensk Yelnya or Pochinok.

small historical reference. Mstislavl was founded in 1135 by the Smolensk prince Rostislav Mstislavich and named after his father Mstislav the Great. Like many cities of modern Belarus, in different time was part of the Lithuanian principality, then was recaptured by the Russian army, then again came under the rule of the Lithuanian prince. In 1772, after the division of the Commonwealth of the territory of modern Belarus, Mstislavl became a province of the Mogilev province, then becomes county town. During Patriotic War In 1812 the city was devastated. Another curious fact - since 1919 Mstislavl was part of the Smolensk province of the RSFSR, was the center of the county. It became part of the BSSR on July 17, 1924, after which it became the regional center of the Mogilev region. Today it is a neat Belarusian town that is the envy of the Smolensk people.

We were expected in the district executive committee invitation cards, which made it possible to go to the Castle Hill for free, where the main events of the knight's fest took place. In general, the entrance to these events was paid. Favorable complex ticket for all events, incl. on Castle Hill, costs 660 re for Russian rubles. The cost of a ticket for one event is 5 Belarusian rubles, or 165 Russian rubles. We started our walk around Mstislavl from the city center, where the official ceremony of the festival took place.

Since 1996, "Dozhinki" in Belarus has been held as a Republican festival-fair of village workers. Every year the festival is held in different regional centers of the country. The holiday takes the Russian observer back to the time of the USSR. There is something in this event from the May Day demonstrations. For example, the celebration program includes a procession of all participants along the main street of the city with access to the central square. The holiday lasts two days. On the first day, a solemn rally is held, after which the best combine operators and drivers are awarded. After the concert of the best begins folk groups. Art exhibitions are held craftsmen. And in the city itself, agricultural products and equipment are demonstrated. Concerts are held at several venues, a lottery is held, folk games and fun. All this happened last Saturday.

The whole city was literally bursting with treats. Eyes popped up!

In total, in the center of little Mstislavl, we counted about a dozen venues where creative teams performed.

At 2.30 pm, performances began on Castle Hill, so we headed there.

Castle Hill is separated from the city and neighboring mountains - Troitskaya and Ponivoytovskaya by deep ditches up to 25 meters and 60-100 meters wide. An octagonal donjon tower stood at the highest point in the center of the castle. On the first floor of the tower there was a church, on the top - archer warriors. It was the safest and most impregnable place during siege battles, where the civilian population of the castle took refuge. Archaeological research was carried out on Castle Hill. The cultural layer has a thickness of 3.3 meters. In the XIV century, most of the buildings on the castle were destroyed by fire. There was a deep well on the hill fort, the area of ​​which was about 2 hectares, which provided the inhabitants with water during the siege. Mstislav Castle was considered the most important strategic object of the Posozhye on the border of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Muscovite state, therefore it survived many sieges and wars.

As I understand it, all these wonderful structures did not exist a few years ago. However, Zamkovaya Hill gradually begins to acquire authentic buildings.
In total, during the knight's fest takes place whole line events: equestrian fun, archery competitions, master classes for spectators, concerts. The most spectacular part is the white buhurt. Buhurt is a jousting tournament in which two groups of knights armed with blunt weapons fight against each other. Yesterday, the lists on Castle Hill looked like this:

As befits the events of historical reconstruction, its participants scrupulously observe the surroundings of the era being reconstructed: they dress appropriately, live in authentic tents, and eat simple camp food. Attention to detail is at the highest level. For example, the festival of historical reconstruction of Lubino, for which the Smolensk authorities did not find money in 2016. how the reenactors lived. Approximately the same as at the knight's fest. A short walk through the camp of reenactors.

Somewhere a modern camera or a plastic cup will flash by. But in general...

Even the faces are kind of out of date. How clothes and furnishings change the face of people!

A small briefing.

Construction before equestrian fun. The oldest equestrian is 67 years old.

Armor looks very natural. Moreover, this is not a decoration. Soon they will be tested for strength during the duel, or shipki, as the host called it.

Someone is resting before the fight.

All hand-maid, complete exclusive.

The first hour of the fest was devoted to equestrian amusements, during which the riders chopped off the heads of cabbage, grabbed a saber stuck in the ground at a gallop, and hit the enemy with a spear.

Men's amusements are unthinkable without lovely ladies, whom the riders rode on their horses.

Courageous grandpa!

Girl and edged weapons ... Beautiful!

An arrowhead hit here.

And here is the burger. Fights last for several minutes until the victory of one of the teams. Then a break, during which the participants of the fights adjust their ammunition and rest. In reality, everything did not look very dynamic, which is understandable: the uniform weighs a lot, each fight is a big physical load, which, moreover, is accompanied by injuries. Rest is needed.

During the break between fights.

Note how the weighty weapon descends on the protected part of the opponent's body. Blows - are not "marked" but applied, and, as it should.

The hatchet lands on the head.

A blow to the chest.

Specially trained girls with candy sticks guard the border of the duel and do not allow the warriors to get too close to the spectators and photographers. Referees control compliance with the rules, one of which is not to hit unprotected parts of the body.

After watching the fights, we head to the city center to refresh ourselves. View of the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The Carmelite monastery founded in 1617 was located here. The church was founded in 1637 and built by the end of the century, in 1746-50 it was reconstructed.

View at the foot of the Castle Hill.

local architecture.

Military memorial on Lenin street.

People walk and have fun. Uritsky street. Behind - the Jesuit Church of St. Michael the Archangel.

Clouds and intermittent rain gave way to glimpses of the sun, which illuminated the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Founded in 1870.

What distinguishes folk festivals in Belarus from ours, Smolensk, is the scale - the cafes probably accounted for a hundred, and also the fact that they sold alcohol. Unfortunately, I was driving, but I still ordered a glass of beer for the barbecue. Especially since we planned another hour or two to walk. I was served an already poured plastic glass, which turned out to be an exhausted, tasteless swill. In general, it is necessary to keep your ears open at such parties. For 400 grams of barbecue and pork sausages, a portion of fried potatoes, a glass of beer and a glass of tea, we gave, in terms of Russian rubles, about 500 re.

By the way, about money. In my hands - 1000 Russian rubles. There are almost no ATMs in Mstislavl, I had to look for a bank and stand in a short queue. Street trading is carried out only for cash, although, for example, in any "Native Kut" you will find a terminal for payment by bank transfer.

While we were having dinner, calls were pouring in from Smolensk asking if I had asked to transfer 3,000 rubles. Turns out my skype was hacked. I was able to quickly regain access to my account thanks to the SIM card of the Belarusian MTS with the Internet purchased at the end of August.

It was evening. Creative teams folded, street trading folded after them.

People still continue to sit in cafes.

Square in the center of Mstislavl.

The delegations that arrived at Dozhinki planted trees here.

It's been such a boring day. Belarusians - well done! Once again I am convinced of this.

And for today - everything!
