    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.

I am not a crying type of person but my heart aches controlling my emotion. May God bless you Boris, your Mom and your wife Darlene in our country, the Philippines. We are not a rich country and lots of poor people but our hearts are rich and full of love to people who are sincere in their works and faith. I am praying for a joyful living in the Philippines.

    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. ❤️

    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!❤

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.

    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.

    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!

    Wow, what a story you have there...I can't believe I sat here for over an hour watching this episode, but it was all worth it...Sad, but happy that you have found your true happiness in the Philippines with your mother in tow...There's also a story I've watched about a group of Russians back in the days when the only country who took them in was the Philippines...it's out there on YT....Boris, you are one heck of a human being and a very talented craftsman. One day, we would like to see you build your own "Russian Hut" somewhere in the Philippines :-)

      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.

    Boris, I am saddened by your experiences in your own village. A very similar situation is going on right next door to where I live. I have been shocked and dismayed by perspectives based on pure selfish nonsense. Unfortunately you will find that good but small minded people are everywhere in the world. Still, your vision and work will outlast every negative experience and will go down in history as a truly meaningful effort. Thank you for sharing your story and please keep creating with Darlene and your mother everywhere you go.

And in the latest vlog got the PR in the Philippines. You will do great things into your new home in Surigao. One day I’d love to visit your place and you can visit my place too. At the moment I’m based in Sydney, Australia but I always watched your videos. I believe that in your new home, it will become a great and amazing place to start a family. Good luck to both of you in your life’s journey.

    I couldn't believe that they opposed such honorable project which aimed in preserving part of Cossack's history -- their history! What a shame. Boris made the right decision in restoring the hut despite the many oppositions he faced. So, kudos to your husband. He's got a good heart.

    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.

I discovered your youtube channel and see how you made your trip to the Philippines is very remarkable and you have "found" a "new" home for your future now. Take good care of your love and wish you the very best of luck 🙏🏽

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.

    This is a heart-rending story so beautifully told.Boris,you have an indomitable spirit that is inspiring.You and your friend Vadim give Russia a good name.Your Cossack ancestors must be very proud of you.Hats off to your mom for nurturing such a beautiful soul.I'm so glad you and Darlene found each other.She is obviously intelligent and articulate despite the lack of higher formal education.In another vlog,she said she was not able to fulfill her dream of going to college because of poverty and how she became the breadwinner of the family at such a young age.She has put her siblings to school and two of which are in universities and doing well academically.She is a remarkable young lady and so wise.She has the wisdom of ages.Though her family is poor in material wealth,it is evident to me they are rich in many other ways.Kudos to her mother for bringing up such well grounded children singlehandedly.
    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.

Anyway Boris, you can continue building your Interracial Art and Craftsmanship here in our country so the world will know your Art and culture. But for now, do not think about it yet. Laid back your heart and mind to rest to things which you cannot change due to others' willful interests. I'm happy that you have managed to decide to leave things behind and look for the future. Anyway, life ahead is far more promising rather than living on things that will only bring you frustrations due to opposition. I admire your Good Friend 💖 back in your country who had defended you all throughout your struggles. If only he can still travel with you in the Philippines when everything is okey. Love you three! 💝💖🌸

    What a great loss Boris, his mom and you were for them. Evil might have won the fight back in his hometown but God has a greater plan for you and your family where you are planted now. May God continue to guard you and direct you of His plans for you. You will never know how ugly it would have gotten if you stayed there. If they could uproot the trees just like that it means they have no regard to the property and life. They have no respect. Maybe it was safer for you to settle in the Philippines for now or maybe forever. God bless you.
