    Thank you so much for watching!
    I want to tell you a story that influenced my husband's life and his decision to leave Russia.
    Azovskaya stanitsa was founded in 1864 by descendants of Zaporozhye Cossacks. In the center there is an old hut of Cossack ataman Grigory Kochubey. Here I was born, grew up, and always felt that this place is special. and dreamed that one day it would be a museum.
    There was a vacant lot in front of our yard.
    I took part in the All-Russian competition "Cultural Mosaic of Small Towns and Villages". It was organized by the Timchenko Charitable Foundation. I was going to create a cultural and educational center with a real Russian oven for cooking traditional dishes, a stage for folklore festivals, and I wanted to build a smithy with an anvil and a pottery workshop. Schoolchildren and young people of the district could be trained there in ancient crafts and traditions.
    When the project reached the semi-finals, I went up to the head of the administration again and told him about my progress. He asked if I had 500,000 rubles to buy the land. I answered that I didn't have that kind of money and I wasn't planning on owning it. It will be a cultural park for all the residents of the village. It doesn't matter who the documents say the land will belong to: the state, a Cossack community, or a school. The head of administration said he had a lot of other things to do now, and we'll talk about it later. I continued to participate in the contest and finally my project "Collection of Folk Talents" was among the winners.
    I went back to the head of administration, but heard a categorical denial. He said he would not allocate the land.
    I asked the advice of the elder of the local Cossack community Bulygin Vadim Ivanovich, and we again went to the local administration. Our head of administration was also ataman of the local Cossack community.
    He refused to help us. V.I and I appealed for help to the ataman of the district Cossack Society, and with him to the Rector and Metropolitan. The newspaper published a news story saying that in memory of the victims of the Civil and Great Patriotic Wars, we want to build a chapel near Ataman's Hut. The Metropolitan liked our idea. He signed a petition to the head of our district administration to allocate land for the construction of the chapel. We also planned to build a smithy and pottery there and wanted to lease this land to the gymnasium.
    V.I and I continued to look for an opportunity to implement the project and wrote letters to the president, the governor of Krasnodar Krai, the ataman of the Kuban Cossack Army, and the head of the district. We also applied to the Krasnodar Krai Department of Property Relations.
    Soon I was expelled from the local Cossack community.
    I and V.I. got tired and already decided to stop fighting for this land. I would put a smithy and a pottery on my plot.
    But now we were told that the gymnasium could not sign the contract because it had no right to spend money (even a donation grant) on something that would not be built on its property.
    V.I. and I went to the district education department and to the Ministry of Education. But they all said "no". I again appealed to the governor. In response, I received a notice to transfer my appeal to the Ministry of Culture of Krasnodar Krai.
    We sent a letter to the Education Department of the region. The reply was that, under the changed circumstances, there was no possibility to implement the project. And the contract with the charitable foundation will not be signed.
    We got an answer from the district administration where we were told that the plot of land is free and cultural heritage objects can be located on it.
    Once again, I appealed to the head of the district.
    Then we received an answer from the Kuban Cossack Troops, who advised us to contact the district administration on our own.
    I, the director of the gymnasium and the charitable foundation discussed and approved a new estimate for the project. We spent 100 thousand rubles on the construction of the Russian oven. The rest of the money (almost 600 thousand rubles) - for a series of unique master classes for children: pottery, carving and painting on wood, making rushnikov, household dances, cooking classes -.....
    I received a letter from the Ministry of Culture stating that the signing of the agreement between the gymnasium and the Foundation is impossible....The gymnasium refused to sign a contract with the foundation. I lost the opportunity to receive a grant and implement this project.

      I feel Boris and his family pain😢. And the one who is destroying the land, as if they had grudges and anguish to the family. As if, Boris land are the only hindrance for the development of the community. 😢 Don’t worry Boris and mom, there is Philippine land and people, like a new canvas for you, waiting for your dream colors and beautiful paintings. Build your dream in the Philippines and let us shine together as our long waited artist to make your wonderful touch. And someday, claim your prizes as rewards of all you’ve done, if not in your country, so be it in Philippines. Mabuhay ka and your mom! (Long live Boris and mom). Jesus said: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” The Philippines is also a land of our God and your land to stay. God has a purpose for you to be here. Ask his guidance and the Lords Spirit will guide you! May our God guide and bless you always for your new beginnings. Salute dear brave Cossacks! Long live!💪🙏 And to Darlene, honor your trophies and thanks for bringing it home, take good care, preserved them and handle it with care! Always love and support your husband and mother in law. Let them shine in our country.

    The way Darlene is translating and . narrating the story of her husband , gives me the impression that she can speak, understand and read the Russian language. Dalene is an intelligent and brave woman the way she traveled all the way to Armenia and later to Russia . May you continue with your adventures together and prosper in the Philippines with God's guidance and blessings .

    I just discovered this channel only now and it’s full of information and historical content. I was amazed how Boris wanted the restoration of his culture for the future generation but wasn’t granted by some people of his village. I learned about Cossacks people only on history book. I got emotional on your story 😢. Hoping for your success in the Philippines.

    This is sad that Boris project for a good cause didn't get any support from his community. Sometimes plan don't turn out as planned and it's better to just let it go and moved on. Boris has a very good skills in construction, maybe he can start a business in the Philippines in constructions.

    Your husband is a wonderful human being - a true great visionary. I admire everything that he envisioned and accomplished so far. I myself knew a similar person who underwent what you husband had to endure - bigotry, bureaucracy, mental as well as spiritual laziness and ignorance. Even churches are not exempt from these negative traits. I also admire his mother as well as you for giving him your fullest support. Please tell your husband that he is not too only person in this world with such amazing creative visions. There are many more and someday soon a new dawn of openness, beauty and cooperation will be the norm.
    I eagerly look forward to your coming vlogs.
    Give my best wishes to your husband and your mother-in-law. ❤️

I appreciate you for giving recognition to the people who supported and speaks for your Husband's behalf especially the Oldman.

    The first video of your channel I watched was when you were travelling to the Philippines. Now, I am watching this, I didn't expect how serious and sad the situations were. How unfair they were to Boris. May God pour you more blessing to compensate for the injustice Boris experienced there... And...
    May the decision of the leaders of the Cossack's society and the priest be a heavy burden on their minds and live longer so they would be held responsible to their children for having made a decision based on a shallow, judgmental and conceited mind. Boris did not commit any heinous crime so he did not, does not and will never deserve a punishment of excommunication from the church and expulsion from the society.

    Hi Darlene and Borris, I just started to watched your videos since yesterday and see myself being hooked with your stories. Felt so bad for what happened to your husband, but I believe that God has somehow had reasons why it has to happen and probably because he is about to soar high in some other ways. Moving with his mom to the Philippines is such a big step and decision but he did it anyways and with you and his mom’s support is such a courage. I admire your husband, his mom and you. I wish your family the best with your new life in the Philippines. Take care of your husband and his mom. Love and protect them. God bless.
    Ps: you have undeniable talent. I love how you narrate in every stories of your videos. Keep it up! I really wish you all the best!❤

      this is absolutely correct...that was through World War 2...which followed world war one which just preceded that end of what was until then the great Russian Empire...when the communists took over.....ONE of those russians that fled the destruction of the wars and the bolshevik "revolt" ...was MY own professor in classical piano in the University of the Philippines..i was then one of her students in her more mature years...after she retired from the Concert Stage as piano concerto soloist in MANILA...she was from ST PETERSBURG...and treated me so strictly...but like a mother...she insisted that i not only study what she taught well...but that even my person must be dignified...neat...well-combed hair...buttoned shirt ....different from other russians who , after WW2 went on to Australia or USA...SHE decided to become a filipino citizen...
      a deeper history is : the RUSSIANS had arrived in the philippines by 1894...just after Dr. Jose Rizal died..and the americans took over from SPAIN...in the first philippine government as SPAIN was ending its administration...the Russian Empire had established a TRADE and CULTURE mission in the philippines...russians started to come for trade and culture exchange and some actually intermarried , taught russian language..arts..painting..music. composing...and then they must have died off as families when the TRADE MISSION was ordered CLOSED by the AMERICANS in 1898...that is part of the history of Russia AND the Philippines that is lost in the education of the filipinos...people can cehck HISTORICAL ARCHIVES online...(i found it when reading Online...when i was in NYC years ago) ...among the "CULTURAL CENTER" archives...there people can see...photocopies of original news papers...with actual names of the RUSSIANS ...
      our problem is the unjustified control of the americans in our knowledge and path as a country...i should know...I LIVED in the USA...NYC...for over 3 decades...where my closest colleagues ...professors and friends WERE russians...as a musician...and i had visited ST PETERSBURG if just 2 weeks...
      i am still saddened that we as a people LOST so much time and opportunities to exchange with the Russian People..for they have MUCH to offer us...in their character..their story and great achievements and struggles in their very long complex history...just as much as WE as a people of many influences have much to offer them...especially in peace, friendship...and creative and constructive things in thsi world..
      the philippines SHOULD pick up where it left off...and have deeper ties with the RUSSIAN people and their culture.

    Congratulations Boris for your vision and renovating the Cossack hut with your mum. You accomplished what you set out to do and saved an icon of the past.
    Finding shells from the war gone by, history conjured in my mind.
    If the new owners have a sense of the, they'd keep the hut. What beautiful workmanship. Maybe your name will be attached to the hut and move through history as the sole renovator and restorer of history.
    What a beautiful caring loving man you are. Kudos to your parents, grandparents who also cared for others, and that legacy is you. They grew trees so people had free food.
    Thank you for sharing this beautiful story and history of the hut.
    Now it's time to start a new life for your family in a new country. Your wife, your mum and yourself are strong caring loving people.
    Happiness and blessings to you and your family ♡

    What a very inspirational, yet sad documentary. It's well written and narrated. Your husband, and friend Vadim, are truly honorable human beings who believe in the preservation of their culture. Hats off to them. A head-scratcher, though, is the amount of drama, hurt egos, and bureaucracy by the talking-heads that opposed the project. You can sense his pain after finding the fruit trees uprooted and then watch in horror while heavy machinery destroy a living tree. Really heavy symbolism in that sequence, with regards to those trees. Like any good Disney story goes though, I hope your husband and mother-in-law brought "seeds" from those same trees and plant them in the Philippines. Best to your family!

    Thank you for sharing your husband's story about the reason why he left Russia. I applaud him for not giving up even when everything seems to go against his goal. What he wants to do for those children are selfless. I admire anyone that does the right thing because it is the right thing to do. It's also sad to see and hear how growth stops because people are misinformed. Hearing how the society members conversations went on, they didn't know any better because they are shielded from how it is outside. It's sad to hear that they seems so suspicious about his intention but it is because they only know some information. I have a Russian friend, they have very good hearts and watching this videos, it shows that they but what the government does to this good hearted people is sad to see.

      The admininstration only cared about easy money business. The people didnt believe that Boris' vision is valuable. What a shame because they didnt have a Jose Rizal that said "Whoever does not look back from where he came from will not arrive at his destination". At least in the Philippines we have the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples and National Historical Commission to make sure local tribes and historical sites are protected from private sale.

    My wish for you and Darlene is owning land vast enough to build an ancestral home in and for you to fill it with so many fruit trees to your heart's content and for your mom to grow old comfortably in.May your great grandchildren hear of your story and be proud.May this story be immortalized in a book for many generations to learn of.

I hope one day his people will realize that what he did, he did it for the future of his people. It maybe a sad story but I think there will be a time one day his people will thank him. He has given so much. I wish him all the best in his new country and I hope he is happier.
