Nest

A building constructed by animals to breed and protect offspring is less often used as a shelter. Nests are built by both invertebrates and vertebrates. Among invertebrates, nests of insects, primarily social ones - termites, ants, wasps, and bumblebees are distinguished by the greatest diversity. Very unusual nests are arranged by leaf rollers and some other types of butterflies. Among vertebrates, nests are arranged by some species of fish (three-spined stickleback), amphibians (paddle frog), reptiles (tortoises and crocodiles), the vast majority of birds and some mammals (baby mouse, beaver, squirrel). Bird nests are the most diverse. The whole range of possible options is presented here - from the most primitive nests, like those of some gulls, waders (an earthen hole lined with grass), to complex multi-apartment colonial dwellings, like those of an African social weaver. Nests can be located openly, or they can be hidden in shelters - hollows, burrows (in some species of birds and mammals).

The era of urbanization is passing - people are tired of living among dusty asphalt and exhaust gases. People want to be free, they want the real, pure and natural. The achievements of modern civilization are improving and becoming more and more friendly not only to humans, but also to other inhabitants of the Earth. Therefore, life in the bosom of nature and the modern level of comfort are now quite compatible concepts. Moving out of town, we remember how our ancestors lived and apply their experience in a new life.

The Lost Pastoral

The history of the Russian estate spans almost six centuries. Back in the period ancient Rus' in any village there was a house of the "owner" that stood out among others - the prototype of a local estate. The word "estate" comes from the Russian verb "sit down", and as a phenomenon, the estate took root on Russian soil because, according to researchers, it invariably remained for the owner a corner of the world, mastered and equipped for himself. In other words, the estate became a place where a person decided to settle down, live at home, take root.

Before the reign of Peter I, the bulk of estate complexes were concentrated near the capital. And only after Peter Great start actively distribute land to their associates, the "estate culture" began its victorious march through the province.

The heyday of noble landowners' estates is attributed by historians to late XVIII- the first half of the XIX century. It was during these years that country residences (from rich palace complexes to modest estates of the provincial nobility) dotted the entire European part of Russia, with the exception of the northernmost territories. Many historians directly connect such a stormy arrangement of "noble nests" with the manifesto on the freedom of the nobility. The fact is that the complaints of a Russian nobleman who lived in mid-eighteenth in., that he did not have enough time to occupy himself with his estate, had their effect. The brewing conflict between public and private was resolved by decree Peter III"On the release of the nobility from compulsory public service". Eyewitnesses claimed that after the decree was issued, all roads from Moscow and St. Petersburg were crowded with carriages, carriages, wagons, on which the nobles with their belongings left both capitals and went to live in family estates, where everything was adapted for life and a comfortable existence: patrimonial offices, pastures, cheese dairies, linen production, sawmills... But if our ancestors in these paradises were engaged only in economic affairs and recreation, Russia would lose a huge layer national history, and today no one would even remember the Russian estate as a cultural phenomenon.

Fortunately, ordinary landowner houses eventually turned into powerful family nests of famous noble families: Orlovs, Sheremetyevs, Pashkovs, Bestuzhevs-Ryumins, Golitsyns ... Thanks to their owners, people, as a rule, educated and being the color of the Russian aristocracy, these estates became true centers of culture in the Russian provinces.

Even in the architecture of noble houses, a “wonderful Russian style” arose, which, however, was not liked by everyone. Since 1914, the magazine "Capital and Estate" began to appear in Russia with the subtitle "Journal of a Beautiful Life", and a little earlier, in 1910, a special issue of the art history magazine "Old Years", dedicated to Russian estates, was published. Among other materials, it published a study "Landed Russia", in which Mr. Wrangel, a prominent art historian and brother of a notorious White Guard general, criticized the arrangement of Russian estates: "not grand-art", "ordinary in the artistic sense", "sometimes it is difficult to figure out what is truly beautiful, eternal in this bygone life"...

And already after the revolution in 1926, the historian Ivanov published a study with a diametrically opposite view: “There are works of home-grown architecture, like a chest or a box, but often there are buildings built by fortress architects, and very successfully ... even modest houses are quite harmonious, but the most remarkable thing is their correspondence to Russian nature, Russian landscape.It is strange - how many times they tried to approach the real Russian style from different angles - whether it be the Upper Trading Rows on Red Square, or Igumnov's house on Yakimanka, or Kazansky railway station - every time the building of the Russian style was more or less intrusive, intrusive, restless. And some modest house of Pushkin's time, painted with gray paint, with four white columns, looks unusually friendly and soothing among the lilac bushes overgrown with it. "

A period, or rather an ellipsis, in the "pastoral era" for many decades was put by the revolution. A significant part of the estates burned down or was destroyed, in some museums were opened and still operate, others were occupied by sanatoriums, rest houses, psycho-neurological dispensaries. troubled times, the fragility of buildings or the indifference of Russians to their history can explain this loss, but the fact remains: in the same England, an incredible number of magnificent estates have been preserved, literally overflowing with the most valuable works of art. English art historians argue that if all the museums of the world suddenly perished, then the maintenance of English castles and English mansions would be enough to restore the history of art completely.

In France, Germany, Austria, Italy, to this day there are many preserved castles in full splendor. But not a single Russian estate of the XII century has been preserved! And many of the later historical estate complexes, left without the owner's supervision, are empty and destroyed. According to experts, only in the regions of Central Russia today there are more than two hundred and fifty.

There is, however, a possibility that the estates will soon be saved thanks to the emergence of a new real estate market - the market of monument houses, which, provided a good investor is found, can bring good commercial income in the future. But not only profit encourages investors to fight for the right to own exclusive objects. Indeed, in their ranks there are public organizations and patriots, descendants of nobles and almost patrons of the arts, are just corporations that need pompous residences ...

So far, the state is opposed to the transfer of monuments to private hands. But, despite the obstacles, transactions in this market are already being made. Where this will lead, time will tell.

country tradition

The word dacha is derived from the verb "give" and, therefore, is native to Russia. Initially, the land was "given", as already mentioned, by Tsar Peter. Therefore, the word "cottage" was actually a synonym for the words "estate" or "estate" and served as a place where people went to take a break from the bustle of the city.

The fashion for country life in Russia took root quickly. Going to the dacha was considered a sign of good manners and made it possible to maintain the necessary social contacts during summer holidays. In the 19th century in the summer, all sections of the population rushed out of the city, including shopkeepers and clerks. The season began in early May and continued until the first cold weather. "Moscow is completely empty in summer," writes Karamzin in 1803.

The first dachas near Moscow were Sokolniki, Ostankino, Kuntsevo, Petrovsko-Razumovskoye, Lianozovo, Perovo, which turned out to be in the city today and are so beloved by Muscovites ... After appearing in Russia railways summer residents began to actively develop places more remote from the capital. This is how the famous villages appeared in Kryukovo, Perlovka, Tarasovka, Pushkino, Malakhovka, Tomilino.

The Soviet government carried out an almost total expropriation of these paradises, but, realizing their value, did not destroy, but only radically changed the composition of summer residents. The proletariat rested, as it was supposed to, collectively: 50-70 representatives of the new masters of life could simultaneously be accommodated in one noble dacha.

A modest dacha could be rented. A 1926 guide to the Moscow region says that in the village of Zvyagino (Klyazma platform) "... the number of dachas and peasant huts rented out in the summer reaches 800. Two or three rooms are priced from 150 rubles and more per season."

At the very beginning of the Stalin era, private dachas were reserved only for the top Soviet leadership. Exceptions were made for famous scientists, writers, composers, famous milkmaids and miners. But the most important thing was that, unlike city apartments, dachas could be bought and sold, and when “enemies of the people” were arrested in the troubled 1930s, they were most often left to orphaned families, even if the apartment was taken away. During the war, land allotments allowed them to feed themselves.

In the era of Khrushchev, anyone could have a plot. True, fearing the emergence of new landlords, the party allowed only tiny land plots of 6 acres to be owned. It was strictly forbidden to build housing on them. "Temporary" summer houses were strictly measured. Officially, Brezhnev allowed the construction, although he did not cancel the regulations: the living area of ​​the house, having increased, however, could not exceed 25 sq.m. These huts were assembled, like everyone else then, according to a "rational" technology: two layers of plywood were sewn onto a plank frame, and sawdust or dry peat served as the insides of this strange "sandwich".

In those distant times, the owner of a country house (even if it was plywood), a car (even if it was a Zaporozhets), and an apartment (even if it was a Khrushchev house) was considered a wealthy person. Many did not even have this, but there were also those who did not pursue dachas, linking their existence with constant manure, beds and agricultural labor from dawn to dusk. The hungry 1980s made such Soviet citizens regret the lack of garden plots, when dachas became a real salvation for the majority of the country's population. The total shortage again returned the status of a breadwinner to the earth, and only thanks to her in those years, products appeared on the tables, which was nothing to dream of, looking at the empty shelves of Soviet grocery stores.

It's only begining

"Dachis and summer residents - it's so vulgar, I'm sorry," - used to say, it happened, main character"Cherry Orchard". But, as you know, Mrs. Ranevskaya had her own reasons. Our contemporaries, after so many years, again turned their eyes to nature and laid the foundation for the "era of cottage construction", every year they return their former prestige to country life.

The wealthiest residents of megacities, who were the first to rush to organized cottage settlements, have already managed to get used to country life in the conditions of a developed service and entertainment infrastructure. The real estate boom, which raises house prices in the city by about 30% a year, has spawned a "second tier" of summer residents who have moved away from the dusty cities. They were members of the growing middle class, looking for more affordable housing in a cleaner place.

For meditation in a deck chair, riding or walking in the fresh air somewhere in a pine forest or by a lake, people exhausted by life in big city, are ready not only to stand in traffic jams for hours, but also to pay in full. Individual single-family homes outside of Moscow cost anywhere from $500,000 to tens of millions in exclusive communities.

Life outside the city is undergoing dramatic changes. Modern owners of suburban real estate are not like the owners of the estates of Pushkin's time, but also from the psychology of summer residents Soviet period terribly far away. The "sandwich" houses were replaced by high-rise mansions, and carrot beds were replaced by English lawns.

Glossy lifestyle publications publish materials about the life of landowners in the 21st century. and interviews with stars against the backdrop of their country houses and plots with impeccable landscape design. And specialized magazines give advice on the practice of arranging alpine slides, planting hedges and breeding rare flowers.

Those who always strive for something unusual prefer summer cottages on the water. At the "Saloon of Yachts and Boats - 2006" held in "Crocus-Expo" at the end of September last year, not only imported, but also domestic projects of floating houses - houseboats were presented. Opinions about the prospects for the development of the houseboat movement in Russia are very different, sometimes polar opposite.

Vladimir Yakhontov, deputy director of the Miel-Nedvizhimost suburban real estate department, believes that theoretically the suburban market near Moscow is ready for the appearance of floating dachas: "... only in our case, this concept, most likely, should mean landing stages that are laid up near the shore. They could be placed on the reservoirs of the Moscow region. At present, there is nothing of the kind in the Moscow region. "

Analyst of Inkom-Nedvizhimost corporation Ivan Vorobyov calls floating dachas only interesting fun or "strangeness" of some water recreation enthusiasts: "In the climate near Moscow, life on a houseboat is possible no more than 6 months a year, so laying out from $ 300 thousand to $ 1 million for such a project so far, very few are ready. Add here the costs of buying a boathouse, membership in a club, obtaining rights and licenses, and it becomes clear that it is premature to talk about houseboats as a real competitor to suburban real estate in the Moscow region."

Be that as it may, on land or on water, but summer residents as a class or as the most massive social movement in Russia, will always exist. After all, de facto they have become a separate "electoral" group, whose interests even politicians have to take into account - they are constantly deciding what benefits should be given to dacha owners and which ones should be taken back. And there can be no question of scheduling elections for the spring-summer period - a breakdown is guaranteed.

The Return of the Cherry Orchard

Since suburban life exists, it means that someone needs it. And while every morning endless traffic jams line up in the direction of the capital from the region of those who want to live in nature, but are forced to work in Moscow, the ideas of a new social order are already in full swing in the polluted air. They are concluded at the moment within the framework of the draft law "On family homesteads and settlements", the text of which, if desired, is easy to find on the Internet. Its essence, briefly, comes down to a proposal to the federal and municipal authorities, on the basis of the land legislation of the Russian Federation, to voluntarily and free of charge provide land plots for the creation of family homesteads to all interested citizens of Russia. The minimum area of ​​the family estate, according to the initiators of the project, should be equal to 1 hectare.

In addition, "a land plot provided for the creation of a family estate, as well as all products grown on it and the proceeds from its sale, are not taxed." In the event that other family estates are created around this site over time, "their owners have the right to form a family settlement and receive for use the land plots necessary to create the appropriate infrastructure."

How quickly this initiative will be implemented, the future will show. Its creators claim that the idea of ​​creating family nests is not only being successfully implemented in some Russian regions, but is also victoriously marching across the expanses of neighboring states of our restless CIS.

Events of the twentieth century. left their dark mark on our history - the Russian estates of the past are devastated and not all of them will be restored. It is sad that these material evidence of the life of our ancestors is quietly fading away, merging with the picturesque landscapes. But the main thing is that we remembered who we are, felt the taste of a normal human life and will do everything in our power to ensure that our descendants have family nests.

The era of urbanization is over- people are tired of living among dust, asphalt and exhaust gases. People want to break free, they want the real, pure and natural. And thanks high level progress, life close to nature and modern level of comfort- now the concepts are quite compatible. Moving out of town, we remember how our ancestors lived and apply their experience in a new life.
Story Russian estate spans almost six centuries. Back in the period of ancient Rus', in any village there was a village that stood out among others. owner's house- prototype estate. The word "estate" comes from the Russian verb "sit down", and, as a phenomenon, manor took root on Russian soil because, according to researchers, it invariably remained for the owner a corner of the world, mastered and equipped for himself. In other words, the estate became a place where a person decided to settle down, live at home, take root.

family homestead- this is the land adjacent to it, but also the spiritual territory, in which the most various events of the life of your family are collected and imprinted. Everyday worries, happy holidays, family celebrations, work and leisure time - all this has been preserved and passed through the centuries, reminding you of the history of the family. The estate, in the original sense of the word, is a small homeland of a person, where several generations of his ancestors lived. Nowadays, this concept is almost lost. We live in city apartments, being citizens in the second or third generation, we leave the city for household plot, which is often difficult to name ancestral estate.
If Europeans can proudly tell you about the history of their kind, spend halls of the family estate where ceremonial receptions were held, then we can tell more about the pedigree of a pet than about our own. That's the way it is in our country. But more and more often, modern people come to understand what the history of a kind means to them. Building a "family nest"- the first step towards the restoration of the former role ancestral homestead, preserving and respecting the history of their ancestors.

To date " family nest» can be called enough large plot of land with various outbuildings, master's house, a place to rest. Of course, life in modern "family nest" different from what was available to our ancestors. Modern suburban villages are built with a well-thought-out infrastructure, their inhabitants have access to all the benefits of civilization, but one thing remains unchanged - life in harmony with nature and with yourself. Endless expanses, green or snow-covered fields, natural reservoirs, horseback riding and boating have not ceased to be in demand for almost 200 years.
