Спасибо Сергею за посещение этого прекрасного кладбища. Я надеюсь, что однажды смогу впервые посетить Россию, и французские СМИ меня не остановят. Продолжайте показывать нам эту русскую культуру, эту русскую душу, которая так хороша. Андре

As always, very informative video! Balabanov, Senchina, Mr.Trololo were real People's Artists of Russia. They deserved to rest in such place. 🕯️

St Xenia is my patron saint! Thank you for showing me where she is laid to rest, and this beautiful cemetery!

[@gregodessite]

In Brooklyn, there is Greenwood Cemetery is it so beautiful that some people celebrate wedding there. Wedding at cemetery, could you believe it?

[@TT-zd6nr]

Here in England weddings can be held in the church, but the photographs are often in the graveyard. In my own village the earliest memorial stones are in the early C18 (as in Sergei's video) so these gravestones adorn the wedding photographs. The church dates from the C11 so I do wonder what happened to all the old memorials.

[@soarornor]

The dead need entertainment too. I’m sure they appreciate joyful moments in other people’s lives that they get to be quietly a part of. 🍁🌞🍁

[@user-wt4br8hw7h]

Great stories Sergey! 😍😍😍

[@rivers.stream]

Sergey, this video was so amazing. How else would I have seen such a fascinating place. Thank you every time for what you show us and the stories you told about the souls in the cemetery were haunting, I will always remember. Stay well, Sergey and take care of you 👍🙏❤

[@tamaradebernardis5201]

I have been there. Holy Blessed Xenia, pray to God for us!

[@Silvia-fi8xw]

Thank you so much! It´s a dream come true to see the Smolensk cemetery where Saint Xenia is. I have read already 2 books with her miracles, old ones and recent ones from our times. I strongly recommend to everybody who loves Saint Xenia to read her books, it will change your lives. 🙏

Зимой кладбище грустное, самое красивое время это лето, оно выглядит как парк.

[@RickDirt11]

That's the only guarantee we have in this life 🙏. We are here only temporarily... then we give back the body. And only individually can we save our souls... religions don't matter in the end. Only our relationship with what we perceive as God and how we fulfill our obligations to that power and ourselves. Peace and blessings to all.

Very nice, was interesting. Thank you Sergey!💯

[@soarornor]

This was very serene and beautiful. I love walking through cemeteries and wondering about the lives of the people who are buried there. And autumn is the perfect time for that. This particular cemetery is quite an exquisite place. I love the old stones as well as the new ones with photographic images. I’ve seen a few eras of this top of monument. With etched photographs and with some kind of printed on ceramic photo process that is like a real photograph printed for the ages. I highly connect with these. I also enjoyed the stories you told. Mr. Tra-La-La. The one about the husbands coffin that was dislodged in a flood and floated to the wife’s door. Wow. And the Navy flag draped upon the monument. I’ve never seen colored stone like that in funerary design before. Excellent video Sergey. 🌾🍁🌞🍁🌾

Peaceful walk in a beautiful cemetery with a gorgeous autumn setting. This is one of your best videos ever. Thank you for posting and especially for showing the inside of the Orthodox church. (I am an Orthodox Christian by conversion twenty years ago - Greek.) The history was all good, too - interesting and informative. ❤️

[@55bigcheese]

Great video Sergey!

[@robertoverbeek9193]

Absolutely awesome history, Russia goes back so far. And to think. This cemetery was there before the USA was here..lol

[@TT-zd6nr]

So good to see real flowers on graves. Here in England so many people leave plastic flowers. As warden I have to remove these after they start to look tired but I wonder if the people laying these expect them to be there forever. If so, they will be disappointed.

Старинное кладбище также достойное вашего внимания - Новодевичье на Московском пр. Основанное в 1845 году. Здесь покоятся Федор Тютчев, Николай Некрасов, Михаии Врубель, Николай Римский-Корсаков, адмирал Эссен и многочисленные представители высшего света ушедшей эпохи.... Много голландских, немецких, французских, итальянских и польских имен можно увидеть на могильных плитах.

[@lorettaenz4828]

What is the diagonal line at the bottom of the cross? Thank you for taking us through the Russian cemetery. Love from the US!

[@user-dl3nc4jx7k]

because the oblique crossbar symbolizes two robbers crucified next to Christ, one believed in Christ as God and repented of his crimes and went to heaven, the part of the crossbar that is higher, and the one below symbolizes the robber who scolded Christ, and did not repent of his crimes and went to hell (in the Orthodox tradition there is no concept purgatory, that is, a person's actions are immediately weighed and which outweigh for life, the soul goes there)

[@lorettaenz4828]
