An unexpected result of plans to increase the territory of Ulan-Ude from the surrounding land adjacent regions may play into the hands of the capital of Buryatia. If the Ulan-Ude, will merge with Ivolginsky Hun mound, according to the law, the city will acquire the status of an ancient urban settlement. This status is, first, to add prestige to our city: agree, is much steeper than in 2000 to celebrate the anniversary, what a miserable 365-year anniversary. Second, it promises considerable economic advantages. Four thousand lancers, udentsev ancient Hunnish mound - a complex of ancient buildings, consisting of a few dozen houses, located only 15 kilometers from the center of Ulan-Ude, Ivolginsky area on the banks of the Selenga. Now it does not feature in our city only formally. And two thousand years ago, there lived no less than four thousand people, and perhaps it is from here began the great history of the Huns. - Large Hun city stood on the Selenga, where watering, good grass. In the cities were artisans, craftsmen, Darkhan made weapons, there was barter trade ... Large cargo shipped on the river, built for the long boat. Why do camels sent if there is a power of the river? - Said Oleg Bulut, chairman of the International fonda.Gosudarstvo Hun Huns at one time was one of the most powerful in the world. It is contended - and in some parameters exceeded - with the Roman Empire, successfully fought to the last. The Huns were involved in the collapse of Rome. Also, these nomads have initiated the great migration of peoples, changed the political map of Europe. The Huns left a deep mark in history. Coming out of Central Asia at the peak of its power, the chiefs united the Hun territory from the Pacific Ocean to the center of Europe. Hun explore a century of archeology in general, exploring the Huns in Buryatia, more than a hundred (!) Years. A century ago, a Polish doctor inquisitive Talko-Grintsevich 28 km from Kyakhta in elm Falls, found and researched hundreds of burial structures of the Huns. Next to this story repeatedly applied researchers. However, during the Soviet era, for some reason, all came to a halt. - In the communist time in the country by the Huns were a kind of attitude. They studied, but the results of research went to "shelve" and found in the store tightly closed, and people did not know about them, they have not indulged in publicity, - says Oleg Bulut. - In the 50 years studied Ivolginsky Hun settlement archaeologist Davydov. She has used a new method of excavation, discovered 51 house in the central part of the settlement, conducted excavations Hun cemetery - 220 graves explored. Findings byli.Seychas these findings - the Institute of Anthropology in the special repository, not for public access. All that was found was taken away, scattered in collections in different institutions, hid in cellars, and never pulled out. Something was left in Ulan-Ude. Interestingly, the report of her excavations Davydova not published in the USSR. Then she was forced to publish a new Vengrii.V the study of history of the Huns resumed only in 2008, after forty years of neglect. But as a renewed? The monument at the federal level to investigate the enthusiasm of the activists. On the grant money, which won a scholar, a senior fellow BSC Bair Dashibalov by submitting your project to Hun topic. The scientists spread out a lot of work. But the guarantee that when the grant ends, new funding will be found - no. Know your history! - What are carried out excavations? Not to write a thesis, and for the people, for the education of patriotism, to the younger generation knew the history of his native land. If we had not started to hold festivals Hun, then nobody would know anything. No one else would do. All would lie in special depositories. And come the children, high school and study history - said Oleg Bulutov.Krome educational function, studies have Hun stories and the economic side. The whole world knows who the Huns, what value they have for ancient history. But here's where the story would be to see and feel the hands on the planet do not. But it could be a serious tourist tsentr.Trudno believe in the reality of the situation, but having such an unprecedented monument, capable of attracting tourists in many European countries, we still did not really do with him. This can only be poluspyaschey Buryatia. In any other place for the topic immediately seized and would be "promoted" to full power. And the clutch. In the last issue of our newspaper, we wrote about the fact that Mongolia is beginning to catch our historic initiative and creates a center of the history of the Huns. Superbrand Huns away from Buryatia, like sand through his fingers. All is not lost with the coming to power of President Nagovitsyn and his team emerged the hope that the republic will not give the Huns "gallop" in other countries. Oleg Bulut said ownership in the administration of President Hun voprose.Seychas initiative group of citizens trying to push the issue of nominating Ivolginsk settlement as a World Cultural Heritage. On this subject, conducted the correspondence with the Commission of the Russian Federation for UNESCO. The activists appealed to the President of Buryatia Vyacheslav Nagovitsyn. As a result, the Ministry of Culture of Buryatia considered and supported the idea of the initiative group of citizens to participate in the contest Hun settlement. Huns from Buryatia are going to conquer the world again. This time culturally. The application for participation in the federal program "Culture of Russia" (the Festival of the Hun culture). Recently, an exhibition about the Huns took place in the Museum of. Khangalov. She is now on display in Irkutske.V last year came to Buryatia deputy. otvetstvennnogo secretary of the commission of the Russian Federation for UNESCO. - This much who assisted the Deputy Chief of Staff for Information Policy and Public Relations Irina Smolyak, - says Oleg Bulut. - Representative of the Commission visited the mound, examined. He said that before the nomination as the first step should be to hold an exhibition of the Huns in the UNESCO headquarters in Paris. Hold an exhibition very real. We must all work together to set goals. After all, the scientific basis, too, is already there, and the exhibition and festival. Park Hun period is now in the regular tourist turnover of an archaeological site near Ulan-Ude is not included, because not established the required infrastructure. Occasionally, tourists come to see the process of archaeological excavation, the work of scientists. That's all. City should reconstruct the Huns, turned into a museum. This is a monument of federal znacheniya.Uzhe drafted a National Park Hun. It is planned to create a complete reconstruction of the life of the era of the Huns. Up to the keeping of domestic animals and wolf-dogs that accompanied the Hun wagon trains along the way. The tourist, who visited a reconstructed village, has to plunge into the world. This will create the conditions for the adoption of tourist groups. Capital is supposed to build facilities in the Lower Oriole, narrowing. On the site it should be, as in the days of the legendary Attila. When investing financial and organizational resources can make the place very attractive to the most discerning travelers.
