It is impossible to build the future by forgetting the past. Our compatriots prefer to spend their holidays abroad, completely forgetting that a lot of interesting things can be seen in our country. Along with historical architectural monuments, new objects appear, allowing you to learn more about Slavic culture and customs. One good example is Vitaly Sundakov's Slavic Kremlin in the Podolsky district of the Moscow region.
From the idea to the creation of the complex
Vitaly Sundakov is a famous traveler and public figure. In his opinion, there are many inaccuracies and deliberately distorted facts in the modern history of Russia. Modern people do not know enough about the history of their state and the life of their ancestors. It was for the purpose of enlightening the Russian people that this unique modern reserve, called the Slavic Kremlin, was created. Today the complex occupies 2.4 hectares; its construction began in 2005. All buildings located on the territory of the Kremlin are a reconstruction. Of greatest interest are the followingobjects: the prince's tower, a tent mill, a Slavic temple and a Siberian hut. All of them were built after a thorough study of the traditions of Slavic architects under the personal supervision of the owner and organizer of the museum, Vitaly Sundakov.
Slavic Kremlin today
Today, various thematic festivals and celebrations of Slavic holidays are held on the territory of the Slavic Kremlin. These days, anyone can visit the territory and explore all the available buildings. Follow the schedule of expected events and choose the most interesting for you personally. In this unique museum complex master classes of artisans are held, clubs of historical reconstruction perform various programs, religious ceremonies are held in Slavic traditions. During such events, everyone can personally get acquainted with the founder and owner of the museum, as well as with the priest of the local temple - Rodobor, who is also the keeper of the complex. Interestingly, the place for the creation of the complex was not chosen by chance. According to some archaeologists, our ancestors really lived in the area where the Slavic Kremlin is located today (Podolsky district today), around the 8th-10th century.
How to get there?
The Slavic Kremlin is located near the village of Valishchevo, Podolsky district. Attention: the complex is owned by a private person and is available for visiting only on the days of public events. For viewing the reconstructed ensemble of the Kremlin, it is customary to make a voluntary contribution - 300 rubles pereach adult and 100 rubles for a child or teenager. The owner of the Slavic Kremlin emphasizes that he does not expect profits, and directs all the money received in the form of donations to maintain and improve his offspring. You can get to the unique museum from the city of Podolsk by buses 31, 67 and 71. By private car, you can get to the Slavic Kremlin along the Simferopol highway, turning 35 km onto the Small Concrete Ring, the sign “Domodedovo. Bronnitsy. Forest . Then after 7 kilometers of the way you should turn to Valishchevo and go to the fork, and then turn to Lopatkino.
The museum is waiting for new friends
Vitaly Sundakov seeks to supplement his historical complex with an organized museum dedicated to the life of our ancestors. It is not easy for the existing team of stakeholders to cope with such a task. On a voluntary basis, everyone is invited to cooperate. You can help both financially and physically - the Slavic Kremlin in Podolsk is always interested in professional builders and architects. Exhibits are also accepted for the future collection of the museum.
