My project is about the Pavlovsk park (It was created back in 1778, as a residence of the successor of the throne), which has seen a lot throughout its long life — magnificent royal events, the first Russian railroad, musical concerts of Iogann Strauss, the Revolution, World war II…

The memory of the park includes happy moments of the past days, listenings to the music of great composers, meeting of the first horse-drawn train. Sadness to losses of its territory and trees during the Revolution, a part of its soul. The park remembers the German occupation with fear, remembers how they blew up bridges when they were leaving, burnt down the palace, and made a cemetery in its most beautiful part. All of this actually belonged to the park. It is its nature and life.

Now the horrors of Revolution and War are far behind. The park lives on, it listens to the music and greets its guests. It manages history and tells us about it. The awareness oh our cultural heritage has a very important role for future generations, it morally enriches them. People have to feel and save this connection.
