[music]
on the runway of the Vnukovo airport
they equipped the
fastest and most reliable aircraft with the latest
climate control system with a double
crew for a special flight,
Soviet diplomats were preparing for a
special mission, the
seats in all cabins were chosen,
all the space was filled with soft
tooth tissue
November 4 In
1991, the plane took off at the hotel in the
capital of India
[music] it
is clear that the plane is being prepared to
transport some special Georgia,
it was known that
Svetoslav Reih was supposed to accompany this cargo, I remember Svetoslav’s first
visit to Moscow, it was the
sixtieth year,
it was a time especially for our country
and yet the appearance of the Reich was
absolutely amazing, not only its
appearance, its good looks, its nobility,
especially, but also the special halo that
surrounded it and the
halo of that mysterious country of India and the eagle of the
mysterious history of the flight family, who
was this junior relay, what
especially did he bring then there was so much
anticipation
[ music]
all these words were 12 when in
1916 the family moved from Russia to Finland
due to his father’s pulmonary illness, a certain
constant
he was very proud of his father, famous
Russian painters, archaeologists, his native
Petersburg was always remembered by him not
in itself, but only in connection with his father, his
exhibitions, friends noisy declarations of
change,
elder brother Yuri has already participated in this UN
activity, Svetoslav preferred the
silence of his father’s workshop, a similar
temple and
[music]
then one day another evolution happened in Russia,
but father, despite the thirst for
change, Peterhof did not go, apparently it
was Nitori street and even moreover,
he went further away from Russia in England,
as they explained to everyone at the invitation of
Diaghilevo, to arrange the Russian seasons in
London,
Svetoslav was preparing for a trip to Moscow and
collecting archives for sending to his homeland
in Russia,
well, what to take with you,
how to make the right choice
[music]
in the most vivid memories of the London
period were philosophical parties
whether they are his mother, but she is
Kutuzov’s granddaughter, she has long been interested in Eastern
philosophy and the game of travel to India and
Tibet,
it was in London that she began to write a
treatise that later became
known as the living ethics of Agni Yoga, her
passion was passed on from sums with even her
older brother, only he remained
indifferent maybe because he was
only 16,
but rather because his father allowed him to do
his work, allowed him to write scenery and
costumes for Diaghilev’s productions due to
sleep, the bitterness is breathing ended, the
main financier of the Russian
seasons went bankrupt, the family was left without funds,
but thank God the father found a way out, he accepted the
tempting offer of the Americans
to hold exhibitions of paintings in 29 cities in the United States on
October 2,
1920, the family of rails arrived in
it light
in America Svyatoslav liked it, found it
upsetting only one thing parents will single out for an
ocean tour a way to earn money
for traveling to the east the
source of those religions that literally
took possession of their souls
flowers became immense happiness in Due to the
enormous success of the father of the US Russian
artist, not only admirers of
talent and patrons of the arts appeared, but also rich
buyers of the painting; the
required amount could not be raised and the father
decided to take out a loan secured by 300 paintings;
his mother warmly supported him and his brother Yuri,
too, he was preparing for a journey,
maybe even more than all the brilliant ingvi
that he already knew 22 languages ​​and even
some Tibetan languages ​​in short 63
years Suslov spent his blizov or
December 23 already received a telegram from
Bombay the long voyage ended
safely
spiritual pilgrims seekers of a single
eternal religion arrived on the land of their
dreams
no envy any melancholy Svyatoslav
did not experience and can it’s even good that
now his father is not around, he wants to
become a shadow painter himself; his father is great; it’s
difficult, almost impossible, but here
he is free; the hammer is good-looking; he enjoys the
success of the ballerinas; he takes risks for them
for the costume; they willingly pose and
now he already receives a grand prize. at an exhibition
dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the independence of the United States,
only now his family writes letters from the East
calling him to India and suddenly one day,
like in a spy or mystical novel,
his father sends him to Paris to pick up
some mysterious parcel from the bank and does not
open it to deliver it to his mother, you would
mother said that this stone is called the
beginning of the world and gives the right to do
something else, what a pity to part with it, it’s
our talisman
and who needs it there in Russia
Svetoslav is far from mystic but
intrigued when he goes to India and then something
happens that he didn’t expect he
falls in love, you will bring out a 20-year-old handsome
American student, a ladies' man, he is fascinated and
even names will surprise the world,
of course, without a genetic father, the debtors are,
first of all,
Marichka, the same one is trying to convert him to
his faith,
so that here he, too, has you there for his
brother, is not ready to affect
Christianity, Orthodoxy is a burden
home atmosphere and he returns to
America fishing line studies someone must
manage the affairs of people Nikolai
they will meet only after 5 years
[laughter]
and
in the first year of separation Svyatoslav received
letters from them by the Socialist Revolutionaries and not when they had
just begun their journey through the
Himalayas mother described in detail all
of the lawn fawn of the places where they passed
with the expedition, but each time added
that their main goal was the search for spiritual
teachers for 100
parents, having moved away from the Orthodox faith,
believed in a single religion and wanted to
find a place for revival here in
Tibet, they were looking for a mysterious in Tibet the
country of the show is a part of the world that has always
attracted not only archaeologists and
ethnographers,
even the politics of all countries of the world, according to legend,
whoever finds Shambhala will discover all the
hidden knowledge and energy of thought of all
generations of humanity and the right to the
world, even after
Svyatoslav you will not guess that their entire
family was under special surveillance
and search The
intelligence of England and France in China were interested in research for almost a
year there was no news from his relatives only
much later, he found out who at this time
my expeditions were nailed you are dressed and the
Mongolian lamas to the agent of the year I will buy his
solo trip through Tibet was
authorized by Dzerzhinsk himself
expeditions overcame 35 mountain
passes reached gave the gift and in May 20
o'clock upon delivery he taught the news from
Moscow from the match,
mother wrote that they brought
gifts to Soviet Russia from the Indian
Mahatmas of teachers, that the father met
his school friend, the People's Commissar of Chechnya,
but what they talked about, what the father promised was
made for the country of the Soviets remained
unknown
one way or another, immediately after this
trip the British came to the conclusion relic
senior agent comments rnai
Bolshevik garbage and decided to disrupt the
continuation of the expedition so that you are not
old and the mother almost succeeded, the expedition was
unable to legally get to the most
sacred place in Tibet and was forced to
take unknown routes
to them few people could pass through these
places
this journey became an exceptional
event a
meeting with teachers
took place
[music] is
it worth it in such a hurry will people
in Russia believe that his
parents received secret signs and
conveyed in pictures a message from the teacher
thousand is the twenty-ninth year [ __ ]
Oslo meets those returning from the
expedition of his relatives and notices how his
father and mother have changed, it seems
as if the hidden secret of life had been revealed to them, he was
most amazed by his brother
who accepted Buddhism and was filled with a
new unknown dynasty of the
Himalayas, the crust, especially among the Hindus, it is
believed that a powerful
energy channel passes here connecting our
time with the future namely therefore, here in the
Kullu valley, the parents buy from Salmu,
which is creating its own scientific
enterprise, the Institute of Himalayan
Research,
Svyatoslav is surprised to learn that
all family members are studying, he is under strict
police supervision, local officials were
afraid of the communist influence of the
Russian artist, and he is even more
amazed by the immigrant press, which
severely persecuted the elder Roerich
declared a sorcerer a false prophet
who buys loyal comrades with
diamonds that he found in Tibet and in
America the families of the Reich label or
bankrupt due to outstanding judgment on the
Tibetan expedition is to lay down the tops
to finish your studies and leave, you will
notice now you have
always, he is now his country,
we are like a sponge absorbs all the colors
and shades of India, he is the only one in the family
who has remained faithful to Orthodoxy, with
surprise he discovers the world of new
religions but perceives them only as an
artist, all attempts by his mother to
introduce him to the new great ones are not
successful, crying Rettig is just a contemplator, a
connoisseur, beautiful and convey
listener,
why am I so worried,
because my parents wanted to transfer this
enormous wealth to their homeland to the Russian
people,
what stops me
from what are these doubts in the
thirty-eighth year?
homeland to Russia,
moreover, the father is convinced that he, as a scientist,
must transfer all his materials,
the collection, all his research to the Russian
people,
this does not really fit with the one world
religion, but Elena Vanna, supporting her husband,
assures everything that if they bring to
Russia the sacred stone of the beginning of the world,
Russia will accept them ideas and will become a
great power,
Moscow did not answer anything to my father’s requests,
but when the Great
Patriotic War began, it died out until they
telegraphed the ambassador of the USSR Great Britain with a
May statement about enlisting them as
volunteers in the Red Army, it smells like they
need to be near the servants
of Moscow, still silent,
soon Svetoslav decided to introduce his
parents this great David Iran,
Indian film actress and grand-
niece to the mountain boy finally
breathed a sigh of relief, she had been
calling him for a long time gram you mash big ladies' man a
year later they got married
their time for the century was the most
popular movie star in India
Svyatoslav's husbands were really
dazzlingly beautiful
slyly claimed that the men of their family
were scared to look at her, as
if they were afraid and to follow,
and
finally the news of the
end of the war comes to India,
Roerich sees no obstacles to the
people returning home,
only Svetoslava is not going to leave
with Andy,
there is still no answer to a new request for return,
but not all the same, he worries about documents,
packs books, maps,
among joyful disputes Nikolai Consti on
whose overtakes
[music]
without waiting to move to Russia on
December 13,
1947,
the father passes away,
but the lecture was received three months
after the death of
the father dreamed of returning to his homeland
but why Moscow didn’t want this
what has been changed now I can’t understand
after the death of his father Svetoslav his wife
moves to the south of India in Bangalore all
these words despite the mocking
remark matyash will copy from Mexico the
rarest ethers but sleep and trees Lana
suggest the father approved this step since
he always was against his type of private
property,
unexpectedly the oil business brings in a
good income, he receives
constant orders from France and Switzerland
and is a very wealthy man
for the rest of his life,
now he does not depend on the sale of paintings, the
time has come for stability,
enjoys life in moderation, philosophizes
a lot, draws pictures, he breathes love and
peace
in this time he first felt
responsible for the whole family for all the
suitors
[music]
Svetoslav suffered the death of his mother hard,
he remained Orthodox and did not share the
spiritual quest of Elin Ivanovo,
but she loved him when she didn’t lose her urine, that
must be why
a new red
pack gave him the sacred a stone a stone
called the beginning of the world which took so
long to the shores of their family until the last
days she was the author then and living loops
dreamed of returning to her homeland
Elena Ivanna once asked her eldest
son Yuri if I was no longer there you would go
to Russia I would go answered a
few years later having achieved meetings with
Nikita Khrushchev, who came on a
visit to India, the elder brother received
an invitation rotating
[music]
Yuri’s departure was swift, he brought
with him to his homeland
part of his parents’ heritage that belonged to him, more than 400
paintings of his father, a huge library of
valuable objects
[music]
Svetoslav remained in India, the
elder brother did not I was able to convince him by
how the countries that and whether the parents
brought his brother to Russia
could have been in which country was his happiness
what religion is needed in Russia today
I know in the
sixtieth year it was sacred the sights of the century the
Soviet Union came for the first time at the
invitation of Khrushchev for a month with an exhibition
but in Russia it surprised and I was amazed by such a
scale and such power, they did not imagine
then Svetoslav for the first time showed that he was
wrongly touched not in hospitality,
the homeland wants to accept the artist and his
work, he did not think about the political
background that Russia was striving for
friendship sin ti
it was profitable and he is a Russian artist with
Indian citizenship turned out to become a
surfer,
brother Yuri had been heading a department at the
Institute of Oriental Studies in Moscow for three years, he was
infinitely happy with the arrival of Svyatoslav, there
was only one evening to have a
heart-to-heart talk,
only the two of them knew the real secret of
the family, the price of his father’s legacy, and a
day later a terrible thing happened
the elder brother suddenly died did not die from a
heart attack
it was incredible why what happened
in their conversation there were no special passions the
usual discussion of religion a little
inheritance the
attending physician told Svyatoslav that
Yuri himself refused an injection that could
relieve the heart immediately assured that
such treatment was contraindicated for him among Buddhists
and after Svyatoslav's death revealed that
his brother, a world-famous scientist, was
placed under strict party
biological control,
he was summoned to some meeting,
criticized for wrong views, the
long-awaited return
turned into a cruel test for his brother
[music]
secret visit to a minimum Svyatoslav
rush to return to his home in India there
calmly and habitually and safely, Prelate
Yazdan appeals to the government with a
request to transfer to
some state museum the
paintings of his father and the library remaining in his brother’s apartment,
contrary to his expectations,
Russia did not refuse,
readily took on the
responsibility of describing Roerich’s legacy,
he later learned that part of the archives and
some costumes of theft of
public property were not
suggested by personal peers
Svyatoslav Roerich came several more times
from the exhibition of paintings of the Bassr
he was an active participant in the
Soviet Indian Friendship Society, met with
all the Kremlin leaders but never
talked about moving to his homeland, he answered a
direct question from a friend about the desire to live in
Russia, he answered I have been free for so long
on his chest, a talisman of the sacred stone of the beginning of the world was hanging on his chest,
Svetoslav said no, I’m not ready to give it up,
I must understand who needs the Roerichs’ legacy
in Russia, only then they make
this decision
then in the ninety-first sweet weakened like
this, he transported the archives of his parents to Moscow
it took a year for him to become
convinced of the sincerity of the Russian
side, and only in 1990, literally
on the eve of his own death, he fulfilled
the will of his parents and transported a
huge archive of a huge collection of
paintings to Russia, and he himself remained in India,
contrary to his own will,
this happened
after the death of Svyatoslav and 9 reiki you there
was no scandal with their inheritance, all the
family’s jewelry disappeared and all the
bank accounts were empty, a
huge plantation estate and all the
artists’ paintings, the secretary personally tried to get the donations,
all these are
dictionaries,
but the court ruled that everything that had to
do with the elves should serve for the
benefit of the Indian people with toys the
last part of the Roerichs' inheritance 4 7
tons artjom
about 500 paintings from the art
collection were returned to Russia
and the
mysterious
stone-talisman of the Roerich family disappeared,
it wanders the earth and heralds a new
era and great world events,
you are the one who owns it,
who owns the world
