 The Chinese ceremonies in Tsarskoe Selo In the well-known memorial estate
"The Chinese village" has revived.
   In Russia this contract is the first and while the only thing
In the field of culture with attraction of 100 percent western investments. 12
Millions dollars it has been spent for revival well-known "Chinese
Villages ", the conceived Catherine II as a place for placing of the most honourable
The visitors coming to imperial residence.
   Thanks to work of perfect builders and restorers this monument
Architecture were found today by the primordial form. The first turn "Chinese
Villages "it is already accepted by the state commission.
   Under perfect music of a military wind band from the smart
Entrance of the Ekaterina's palace of Tsarskoe Selo one for another drove off
Crews with guests of honour also went to Aleksandrovsky park. As
Also it is necessary in such solemn occasions, on the area before a palace burnt
Torches, and the person of the general director of the state memorial estate
"Tsarskoe Selo" I.P.Sautova was simply shone for pleasure: one more
The remarkable monument of architecture п VIII of a century is revived in Tsarskoe Selo.
Having passed Krestovyj the bridge, horses directed on snow-covered avenue to
Well-known to "the Chinese village".
   Half an hour we back considered old photos. And if on pictures
The beginning of the century and prewar time it was already felt lost, photos
The eightieth years bored. Otherwise as ruins these structures and
To name it was impossible. There was time when it seemed, that creation of architects
Kamerona and Neyelov already it is for ever lost. The village was reconstructed time and again
V.P.Stasov, and its shape has been deformed at reorganisation in the XIX-th century, so
What is the representation how "the Chinese village" has been conceived in
70th years п VIII centuries, give drawings which have only saved up to now.
   The idea of a construction of "the Chinese village" in Aleksandrovsk park was
It is not new. Similar small villages in п VIII have been constructed a century in Sweden in park
orolevskogo lock Drotningholm, near Stockholm, and in Germany, near
Kassel. But with death of the empress of job in "the Chinese village" were
Are suspended, and emperor Paul I even gave the order on dismantling
The constructed small houses for reception of a material for the Mihajlovsky lock. To
To happiness, this order has not been executed. In the last century "Chinese
The village "was used by the Russian monarchs as guest apartments.
Living in small houses had possibility to give for the friends or neighbours
Dinners, concerts, balls and suppers. Each small house had house devices, all
Necessary furniture, ware, and at each small house the has been broken
Own garden. Who only did not live in the last century in "the Chinese village", and
With 1822 for 1825 here worked over the multivolume composition "History
The Russian State "N.N.Karamzin.
   - The Memorial estate "Imperial Cп п п?", - is told by its director
And. P.Sautov, - very much is proud of this project. We went to it some years,
Carried on the most complicated negotiations, and as now it seems to us, it was possible to make
Miracle: Danes invested 12 million dollars in reconstruction, and for
Two years we have constructed this miracle. They will be engaged in operation
Complex and selection of clients. By the way, already in three apartments in the evenings
Light burns. Two of them are handed over for three years. To well-founded foreigners,
Coming to work to Petersburg for the big term, much more favourably
To lodge at us, rather than in expensive hotels, and here comfort level at all
Worse, let alone that windows of apartments leave in Aleksandrovsky
Park.
   The concept of restoration of a complex saves not only external shape
This monument, but also its historical mission as the guest
The apartments representing 28 equipped premises, - 3, 4
And 5-roomed apartments. It not a hotel complex. We wished to recreate
Those functions of "the Chinese village" which have been conceived by its founders two
Centuries ago. Apartments in "the Chinese village" can be leased for term
Not less than one year, having driven here at desire with own furniture.
   Today problems of the budgetary at times are very hot discussed
Financings of our most well-known objects of culture. Tsarskoe Selo not
Exception - its financing too on a freezing point. But Sautov not
Began to ask money in the Ministry of Finance or the culture Ministry, and the beginnings vigorously
To operate and has managed to involve the western investments. As a result in
One more pearl of architecture has appeared Aleksandrovsk park today, and
The profit on complex operation will go on the further
Restoration and restoration of monuments of one of the most well-known
Memorial estates of Russia.
