Sapper settlement ... Have you everhear about this place? No, this is not a simple settlement, it is something more. And many travelers and do call it a connecting thread between the present and the past.
Agree, the lessons of the war are too serious, and aboutthey can not be forgotten. In many Russian towns and villages, historical monuments that testify to the victory over fascism in the 20th century during the Great Patriotic War are preserved.
A small village of Saperny (Leningradregion) refers to the Kolpino district of St. Petersburg. It got its name due to the fact that before the revolution of 1917 the Imperial Sapper Battalion was placed here. Today it is a very small settlement (about 1400 people). In the village there are only 2 streets: Road and Nevskaya.
What is he so famous for?The fact is that here recently the shooting of the film "Stalingrad" by Fyodor Bondarchuk was completed. The factory debris preserved here since the war, from the point of view of the filmmakers, proved to be very suitable for creating a picture of the destroyed Stalingrad on the screen.
After the shooting, the map "Saperniy Village" became quite popular in special trade outlets of our country. Why is that?
Lovers of historical reconstructions, tourists,who are interested in new sightseeing objects, study the settlement with great attention, where the events of a terrible war are perceived not as belonging to a distant past: it seems that thanks to the action of the time machine it was possible to move to the real situation of the military Stalingrad.
More than 400 specialists worked on the creation of the scenery of the film "Stalingrad". The script of the film was written on the basis of diary entries of the participants of the hardest events of the battle for Stalingrad.
In 1955, there were barracks and barbed wire in the Sapernoyewire. Such settlement of the village was explained by the fact that after the end of the war, these prisoners were occupied by German prisoners. From 1957 to 1968, the construction of peacetime facilities began. Dwelling houses, an office, a club, a motor depot were built. Some people from among those builders are still alive today. The old-timers remember how happy it was that they were building new houses, what a wonderful kindergarten was, remembering the names of their teachers-bright, dear memories of childhood!
О послевоенной жизни у местных жителей Only ecstatic memories survived, despite hard work, people lived like one family. We enjoyed the most common conditions for modern people: a good bath, a medical center.
Memory of the heroic feat of the people during the war yearscarefully preserved. The former Lenspirtstroy plant is today a memorable place where the people lay flowers. Care for veterans is an important area of social work these days. In Saperny, much attention is paid to this. Excursions, improvement of the village, holding sporting events, maintaining order on a small beach near the Neva are just some of the activities of local activists. One of the projects, which is sure to be implemented, is the construction of a chapel, where one can think about the sublime and get away from everyday fuss.
