Circe Shadow and Forgotten Histories
If the tales are true.
And what is known is unsettled.
All of the unconsecrated burials.
And the bastard children holding.
Are not forgotten.
Under the crushed to modernize.
The inhabitants still return to roam.
No matter what drugs and incantations.
Are deployed.
To hide their original shape.

The Supreme Lord examines us
The realm of the Supreme Lord is naturally full of love and there is never any force. Here also, we are never forced to love, but this world is a place where the Supreme Lord examines us. Do we want only Him, or do we still want something of this world? The Lord will fulfill our desire, as much as we desire, not more than that. According to what we desire in life, we will get an appropriate guru or spiritual teacher. If we want transcendental vision, we can only get it by the special mercy of great devotees who see and perceive the Lord at all times and in all places. Only by their mercy will we excel in the examination, be able to recognize our true selves and begin to hanker for the only thing that will satisfy us – pure bhakti.
Guru is a Sanskrit word and its original and intended meanings are explained in the Vedic literatures. Gu means ‘ignorance’ and ru means ‘dispeller’, so a real guru is someone who is in a disciplic succession of gurus that dispells our ignorance. Those in a material conception of life will teach others that they can and will become happy here, thus increasing their ignorance and boosting their false ego of bodily identification. A real guru, on the other hand, gives eternal results by initiating us on the path that activates and reveals our true spiritual identity. He mercifully gives instructions, convincing us of the many perfect philosophical conclusions of bhakti. Serving him and submissively hearing from him frees us from the ignorance that has been ingrained within our hearts since time without beginning. It gradually but firmly establishes within us a deep love for Šri Šri Radha-Krsna, the divine Youthful Couple and the soul’s function fully awakens. This is what a guru should give – our pristine intrinsic nature, our eternal dharma. That’s what our Šrila Gurudeva, the deliverer of the fallen, is giving to us.
Our eternal natural function, or dharma, is bhakti or devotional service. As one cannot separate heat from fire, so similarly, the service nature of the living entities cannot be taken away from them. We have to serve someone or something.
All religions propagated in the world are either steps leading to bhakti or else distortions of it. This being a fact, we should focus on our own cultivation of devotion and not worry or criticize what others are doing. We should be favourable towards the followers of other religions and have no animosity towards them. All of us advance according to the time that is ripe for us. Any religion should be respected according to its proportionate degree of purity.
"After many, many births and deaths one achieves the rare human form of life, which, although temporary, affords one the opportunity to attain the highest perfection. Thus a sober human being should quickly endeavor for the ultimate perfection of life as long as his body, which is always subject to death, has not fallen down and died. After all, sense gratification is available even in the most abominable species of life, whereas Krsna consciousness is possible only for a human being"
(Srimad Bhagavatam 11.9.29).
Akoth - The First Pyramid - The Ruling Power by Daniel Arrhakis (2023)
With the music : Electric Pulse of the Future · Ambience Mastery
The First Pyramid Akoth and its pyramidal complex are the seat of imperial power for Amaoth, the undisputed ruler of the Athon empire.
The star Sirius, with its cold but at the same time bright light, illuminates the planet Askhant and, in association with the mists, gives an almost transcendental aura of mystery to the pyramid complex.
The forbidden city, considered by many to be sacred, is guarded by an elite force composed of the most fearless imperial warriors, the Guard Of Samoth or the Samothians.
Warriors who were chosen as children to be part of the elite forces and who defend the empire with their lives.
His bionic suits, made up of a network of metal alloy cells are unique and standardized according to the warrior's genetic code. They are his second skin and his main Armour, able to protect him from the weather at any time and at the same time allow him to camouflage himself in the environment.

The Secret Order Of Askarth - The Monastery Chamber - Arkhetyp by Daniel Arrhakis (2023)
With the music : Ludovico Einaudi "Walk" (Official Video)
A New Mystic Mysterious Series for 2023 " The Secret Order Of Askarth "
An ancient Secret Order told in ancient stories and legends at the crossroads of the Middle East and West.
The Secret Order of Askarth or as the ancients called them "The Ones Who Hide Among Us".
A mixed mystical order of men and women, who consider the body a simple container for the soul that must remain hidden from view by long garments that hide its true form.
The soul is thus the perfect and transcendental form, the body being only the envelope or a necessary evil.
Its members try to achieve purity of form and spirit, cultivating reading, writing, graphic and geometric drawing, contemplation and prayer, fasting frequently, strict daily hygiene, controlled exercise, sexual abstinence and abstinence to eat meat.
Much of their time is spent trying to gather old mystical and religious books that were thought lost so that they could be kept again in secret libraries in various parts of the world.
According to legend, the order was formed during the great fire of the Library of Alexandria and has survived to this day in hiding.
They are believed to be the guardians of some of the rarest written mystic treasures that humanity and various civilizations have ever produced.
The robes are often long and have strangely shaped hoods that vary greatly according to time and function in the order.
Long ago, during the period of the inquisition and the persecutions to which they were subjected, the order began to hide in isolated communities that met secretly.
At that time, a group of members separated due to mystical differences and for not accepting the regimes of sexual abstinence or eating meat, since then forming a separate order that has since led to a fratricidal struggle against the more traditional groups.
The Guardians Of The Dark Book as they are known or the "Inquisitors" thus turned to the study of the occult sciences and Dark Magic practices, searching out the old books of the Dark Arts and burning the Askhartian libraries whenever they found them as well as their members.

Lakhta. #Listenvawe #Light.
Lakhta Center architectural concept will be created based on the project which was previously designed to be constructed on Okhta promontory in Krasnogvardeysky district. The project will be significantly revised and adjusted to the new location and site layout. As assessed on a preliminary basis the costs for the adjustment of the project of the business center which was approved earlier in Lakhta will be not more than 30-50% of the cost of the design and approval of the new project. Furthermore the existing project of the business complex has passed through all state authorities which acknowledged its compliance with the relevant standards and requirements which will accelerate the construction of the new center by 2 years and significantly reduce the costs of the design and approval of the new project.
The project of a business center with a high-rise landmark and base buildings was selected as a result of an international architectural contest conducted by the investor in 2006. The winner of the contest was RMJM company (Tony Kettle Design Director) which proposed a project complying with the requested functions of the future headquarters of a large energy company and concordant with the architectural traditions of Petersburg.
Petersburg was created as a city of horizontals. A flat lowland dictated buildings relatively even in height, and in some spots accentuated with high-rise ensembles. The spire of the Peter and Paul Fortress, the Admiralty, the doom of the St. Isaac’s Cathedral are city forming landmarks with architectural ensembles around them.
The role of the high-rise building envisaged in the concept of a business center is played in the creation of an architectural accent of a business center which will be constructed on the former industrial and un-built areas. Without competing with the traditional city’s landmarks due to the remoteness from the historic buildings, the high-rise ensemble on the coast of the Gulf of Finland will be a city forming element and a draw of attraction for a new development project and business in a new developing district of the city.
The main architectural motives of Petersburg are reflected in the concept of a business center. It is a theme of a lonely spire in the horizontal landscape, and leaning base buildings symbolizing the ship hull, and maritime theme of wave-like bearing structures. An organic form of the building symbolizes the power of water, the flow of space, openness and lightness. The effect of free fall and maximum blending of the future complex with the environment will be emphasized by the glass of a special type, owning to this glass the tower will change its colors creating a feeling of a living being.
At present the architectural concept is being revised which will enable to insert the buildings of the future business complex into new surroundings on the coast of the Gulf of Finland. Young Russian architects will be involved in the work related to some parts of the project including the embankment and berths.
The architect’s task was to implement the project of a new ultramodern skyscraper in the city with a rich cultural and historical context, the historical centre of which is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Tony Kettle, the author of the architectural concept of the Lakhta Center: “The flowing forms of water, the glinting spires of the Peter and Paul cathedral, the size of the sky canvas above the horizontal grain. My sense was very much to create something that was as light and elegant as the historical forms, capturing the changes in daylight in a similar way to that of the golden domes and spires.”
“The tower was designed as a simple organic spire with asymmetrical movement in its skin, to be seen as a singular landmark at city scale. Underlying the simple elegance of its exterior there are actually five individual twisting towers, each with its own glazed skin. These come together and taper around a diminishing circular core, enveloped by a further insulating skin.”
This is how Lakhta Center will look like in 2018, a multifunctional public and business complex, which core will be the HQ of Gazprom Neft company and its subsidiaries.
Over half of the areas will be occupied by public functions: a scientific and educational complex, a children’s center for amusing science, a planetarium, exhibition halls, a health center, a multifunctional hall for congresses, conferences, theater performances, musical and costume shows, a cinema center and a sports center, an open amphitheater and a few more public services including a bank branch, retail shops, restaurants, cafés, etc.
Irlanda - Kinsale - Fuerte Charles

Irlanda - Kinsale - Fuerte Charles
ENGLISH:
Charles Fort is a star fort located on the water's edge, at the southern end of the village of Summer Cove, on Kinsale harbour, County Cork, Ireland. First completed in 1682, Charles Fort was sometimes historically referred to as the "new fort" - to contrast with James' Fort (the "old fort") which had been built on the other side of Kinsale harbour before 1607. The fort is now operated as a heritage tourism site by the Heritage Ireland arm of the Office of Public Works.
Charles Fort was built on the site of an earlier stronghold known as Ringcurran Castle. The Ringcurran defences had featured prominently during the Siege of Kinsale in 1601.
The new fort, which is named after Charles II, was designed by the Surveyor-general Sir William Robinson - architect of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham. Additional site structures are attributed to engineer Captain Thomas Philips. The fort was built between 1677 and 1682 to a star fortification design; a layout specifically designed to resist attack by cannon. It became known as the "new fort" - to contrast with James' Fort (the "old fort") which had been built on the other side of Kinsale harbour between 1602 and 1607.
With a focus on seaward defence, the landward and inland bastions of the fort are overlooked by higher ground. This weakness was of critical importance when the fort was subject to a 13-day siege in 1690 during the Williamite War in Ireland. John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough (then 1st Earl) besieged Cork and captured Kinsale and its forts. Repairs were made following the siege.
An early lighthouse was established here in the 17th century by Robert Reading, and additional works (including the development of internal "citadel" defences) were added through the 18th and 19th centuries.
The fort remained in use as a British Army barracks for two hundred years afterwards, before being relinquished by British forces following the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921. The fort fell out of use after being burned by retreating anti-Treaty forces during the Irish Civil War in 1922.
The complex remained largely derelict for some time, but was named a National Monument of Ireland in 1971. Over the coming decades several sections of the fort were restored by Dúchas, the Irish heritage service. Restoration and development of the complex was later taken-over by the Office of Public Works (OPW) - including the development of an exhibition space in the former commander's quarters.

ESPAÑOL:
El Charles Fort es un fuerte con forma de estrella considerado uno de los mejores ejemplos de este tipo de arquitectura en Europa. Su existencia no ha sido sencilla: batallas, asedios, incendios y, por último, se incluyó en la lista de Monumentos Nacionales y, gracias a un extensivo programa de restauración -aún en marcha- ha recuperado parte de su estética original. A día de hoy está gestionado por el Gobierno y abierto al público durante casi todo el año.
Kinsale, incluso antes de la construcción del fuerte, era un importante punto estratégico. Entre el siglo XV y el XVII, el puerto era de los más importantes del país y fue aquí donde se libró una de los conflictos bélicos más significativos de la historia irlandesa: la Batalla de Kinsale (1602). En este estuario se enfrentaron por un lado los ingleses y, por el otro, una flota de navíos españoles (aún de resaca de la aventura de la Armada Invencible) que se unió a los principales clanes irlandeses encabezados por la dinastía O’Neill con el objetivo de echar a toda costa a los foráneos de la isla. La principal consecuencia de esta batalla es que muchos de los jefes de los clanes tuvieron que exiliarse en el extranjero y, además, con la victoria, los británicos vieron luz verde para comenzar la colonización del Ulster.
Después de esta batalla los ingleses construyeron el James Fort al otro lado del estuario (hoy día en ruinas) y luego, en la segunda mitad del siglo XVII levantaron este Charles Fort. Aún así, no muchos años después, Kinsale volvió a vivir otro episodio transcendental: tras la batalla del Boyne (1690) en la que se enfrentaron el protestante Guillermo de Orange contra el católico Jaime II (con victoria del primero), los ‘williamitas’ (seguidores de Guillermo) asediaron y bañaron en fuego de cañón al Charles Fort (ocupado entonces por partidarios de Jaime que al final acabaron rindiéndose).

Driving to Alpha Centauri
Once we were driving to Alpha Centauri.
Only 4.37 light-years away.
Once when we were thinking outside the box.
When we became vastly more powerful.
Once we finally released ourselves.
Through a fleet of probes.
Once we find a life-bearing planet.
As we transverse the great vastness.

God in Islam
Islamic conception of God
In Islam, God (Arabic: ٱللَّٰه, romanized: Allāh, contraction of ٱلْإِلَٰه al-Ilah, lit. "the God") is the only one deity of absolute oneness, uniqueness, and perfection, free from all faults, deficiencies and defects; who is omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, and completely infinite in all of His attributes, who has no partner or equal, being the creator of everything in existence. Islam emphasizes that God is strictly singular; unique; inherently One; and also all-merciful and all-compassionate, whose mercy embraces everything; Who neither slumbers nor sleeps, nor is obnoxious to decay nor death. Islamic theology confirms that Allah (God) has no body, no gender (neither male nor female), and there is absolutely nothing like Him in any way whatsoever. Therefore, Islam rejects the doctrine of the incarnation and the notion of a personal god as anthropomorphic, because it is seen as demeaning to the transcendence of God. The Qur'an prescribes the fundamental transcendental criterion in the following verse: "There is nothing whatever like Him" [Qur'an 42:11]. Therefore, Islam strictly and categorically rejects all forms of anthropomorphism and anthropopathism of the concept of God. Thus, the Qur'an says: "Do you know any similar (or anyone else having the same Name or attributes/qualities, which belong) to Him?" [Qur'an 19:65].

Mystic City - The Order Of The Green Scarab by Daniel Arrhakis (2022)
With the music: Marco Polo Artista Loreena McKennitt / Álbum
The Book of Secrets
An ancient mystical order that remained hidden until the present day, conserving some of the oldest Egyptian secrets - The transcendental rule-based vision of events and the bridge between the past and the present.
The timeless perspective of a reality that changes over time but with consequences in our present.
Its main objective is the recognition of events before they happen through pattern recognition and the transposition of repetition or cycles.
Its members maintain close relations with the Order of The Silver Orchid.
On the other hand, they are able to recognize the so-called "Cyclic Spiritual Identities" or "Returners", spiritual identities that return at different temporal moments and that can have a global or local repercussion of beneficial or harmful change.

Transcendence comes from the Latin prefix trans-, meaning "beyond," and the word scandare, meaning "to climb." When you achieve transcendence, you have gone beyond ordinary limitations. The word is often used to describe a spiritual or religious state, or a condition of moving beyond physical needs and realities. One way to achieve transcendence spiritually might be to dance or fast for a long time. If you have trouble letting go of material needs, then you will have a difficult time achieving transcendence.

We had planned a sweeping three week trip through the south, with a specific concentration on the Santa Fe area. The main reason for that was simply because we had been all around Santa Fe bur for some reason just never landed there. So this time we made it a point to spend some time there. We had planned to photograph several icons in the area like Tsankawi and Great Sand Dunes. When I plan these I need to plan in breaks from the nature. I could say they are for the teen-age kids, but the truth is I need it too.
So on this trip we spent some time in the City. I had no idea how cool the City was. And nothing personifies that cool-ness like this immersive art exhibit called Meow Wolf. There are now a few locations, but this is the original.
The crowds, even in COVID times are tough. In order to get this image I had to go back alone, without the kids, and stay late so the crowds thinned.
In a way, this too is a landscape image, just a landscape like no other.
Let me know what you think.
This is a photo of patterns in the sand in a stream that flows across Clam Harbour Beach. The image has been rotated and symmetrically copied to reveal a transcendental vision.
Death is sure
All potencies are eternally invested in that transcendental personality, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is because His internal power always lives within Him that He can create millions of universes, He can sport anywhere, and He can perform any herculean task.
The Lord also manifests His marginal energy, which is situated between the spiritual and material world, and which is comprised of spirit souls. Although we souls are His parts and parcels, we have now chosen to forget Him. For this reason another of His potencies, His power of delusion called ‘‘maya‘‘, has thrown us in this world and covered us. We are thus bewildered regarding who is God, and we are trapped in an endless cycle of birth, death, and sorrow.
A careful scrutiny of this world reveals that even high-posted personalities such as emperors, chief ministers, and presidents are suffering; everyone is suffering and no one knows why. Even if people experience some happiness in youth, they face many problems, and one day they will have to give up this body. Even if they are unable to determine whether or not God exists, they can very easily say that death exists. Even people who do not believe in God are bound to admit, “Death is sure.” Eating, sleeping, mating, and defending or quarreling, they consider that they will be happy by material endeavors.
Artist: Vasil Berela, Georgia
From the exhibition catalogue:
Vasil Berela examines the existential efforts of individuals attempting to achieve transcendental states of mind but, often enough, end up vegetating as hopeless biomass of society.
"Adolescent" shows a young woman in need of protection, bald like a prisoner and blanketed in a sheet of fabric that protects her.
However, it also wraps around her like a straitjacket. Her feet are in a bowl as if for cleaning.
Twelve more bowls surround her.
The association with Jesus washing the feet of his disciples seems inevitable, even if not intended.
In any case, the bowls offer a shelter for more possible participants. The almost colourless arrangement conveys an overall feeling of a rather limited cognitive potential.

According to traditional Astrology, Jupiter and Neptune together rule the oceans and seas.
Maybe you’ll find interesting the following text.. :)
Planet of Luck Jupiter is the thinking person's Planet. As the guardian of the abstract mind, this Planet rules higher learning and bestows upon us a yen for exploring ideas, both intellectually and spiritually. Intellectually speaking, Jupiter assists us in formulating our ideology. In the more spiritual realm, Jupiter lords over religions and philosophy. A search for the answers is what Jupiter proposes, and if it means spanning the globe to find them, well, that's probably why Jupiter also rules long-distance travel. In keeping with this theme, Jupiter compels us to assess our ethical and moral values; it also addresses our sense of optimism.
Luck and good fortune are associated with Jupiter for good reason. This is a kind and benevolent Planet, one which wants us to grow and flourish in a positive way. Jupiter may be judge and jury, but it's mostly an honorable helpmate, seeing to it that we're on the right path. While our success, accomplishments and prosperity are all within Jupiter's realm, this largely can, at times, deteriorate into laziness and sloth (Jupiter, at its worst, is associated with weight gain!). More often than not, however, Jupiter will guide us down the primrose path.
It takes Jupiter about twelve years to circle the Zodiac (the Planet visits an average of one Sign a year). It is masculine energy and rules both Sagittarius and Pisces and the Ninth and Twelfth Houses.
Neptune's glyph is the trident of Poseidon, God of the Seas. Much about this Planet is fluid (Neptune rules the oceans of the Earth), changeable and illusory in nature. Dreams, illusion, abstract thought and the mysterious are all governed by Neptune. Our spirituality is important to this Planet, and how we harness that energy for our personal betterment. Neptune invites us to let its energy wash over us and to use a meditative state to gain insights and heightened awareness. Poetry, music and dance are among the trance-like activities which this Planet favors.
It takes Neptune 165 years to complete its whirl around the Zodiac, spending roughly 14 years at each Sign. It is feminine energy and rules Pisces and the Twelfth House . Neptune is known as the higher octave of Venus and is the second of the transcendental Planets.
Recently I was wandering around the boardwalk with my wife and noticed how interesting and colorful it was. Also, during the winter there is no one there...way better. I was composing images when an employee came over and started the swing up. I was soooooooooooooooo pumped! I was shaking with excitement as I took photos. I met him afterwards and we agreed that this sunrise was pretty awesome! I have walked many times by the Boardwalk and never saw the potential. Interesting how that works...
Tan permanente y cambiante a la vez, la Luna nos muestra en cada fase sus reconfortantes paisajes, labrados en inmemoriales tiempos de turbulencia y agitación, de ríos de lava y magma, de rocas fundidas, de impactos, de mundos heridos y caóticos. Mares, grietas, bahías, valles, montañas y cráteres conforman un rostro esculpido por los escombros del universo, que se debate entre la luz y la oscuridad, invitándonos a la contemplación y admiración. Pues, tal vez, en la complacencia y asombro de nosotros, los mortales, encuentra la Luna, su propósito más trascendental.

So permanent and changing at the same time, the Moon shows us in each phase its comforting landscapes, carved in immemorial times of turbulence and agitation, of rivers of lava and magma, of molten rocks, of impacts, of wounded and chaotic worlds. Seas, cracks, bays, valleys, mountains and craters make up a face sculpted by the rubble of the universe, which debates between light and darkness, inviting us to contemplate and admire. Well, perhaps, to the delight and amazement of us mortals, he finds the Moon, his most transcendental purpose.

Lahti. Lakhta ?This small village on the northern shore of the Gulf of Finland, about 15 km northwest of the city, is home to human settlements on the banks of the Neva. It was on the territory of Lakhta that the remains of a man’s parking site of three thousand years ago were found.
In official documents, a settlement named Lakhta dates back to 1500. The name is derived from the Finnish-speaking word lahti - "bay". This is one of the few settlements that has not changed its name throughout its 500-year history. Also known as Laches, Lahes-by, Lahes and was originally inhabited by Izhora. In the last decades of the 15th century, Lakhta was a village (which indicates a significant population) and was the center of the eponymous grand-parish volost, which was part of the Spassko-Gorodensky graveyard of the Orekhovsky district of the Vodskaya Pyatina. In the village, there were 10 courtyards with 20 people (married men). In Lakhta, on average, there were 2 families per yard, and the total population of the village probably reached 75 people.
From the notes on the margins of the Swedish scribe book of the Spassky graveyard of 1640, it follows that the lands along the lower reaches of the Neva River and parts of the Gulf of Finland, including Lakhta Karelskaya, Perekulya (from the Finnish “back village”, probably because of its position relative to Lakhti) and Konduy Lakhtinsky, were royal by letter of honor on January 15, 1638 transferred to the possession of the Stockholm dignitary, Rickschulz general Bernhard Sten von Stenhausen, a Dutchman by birth. On October 31, 1648, the Swedish government granted these lands to the city of Nyuen (Nyenschanz). With the arrival of the Swedes in Prievye, Lakhta was settled by the Finns, who until the middle of the 20th century made up the vast majority of the villagers.
On December 22, 1766, Catherine 2 granted Lakhta Manor, which was then in the Office of the Chancellery from the buildings of palaces and gardens, "in which and in her villages with courtyards 208 souls," her favorite Count Orlov. Not later than 1768, Count J.A. Bruce took over the estate. In 1788, Lakhta Manor was listed behind him with wooden services on a dry land (high place) and the villages Lakhta, Dubki, Lisiy Nos and Konnaya belonging to it also on dry land, in those villages of male peasants 238 souls. On May 1, 1813, Lakhta passed into the possession of the landowners of the Yakovlevs. On October 5, 1844, Count A.I. Stenbok-Fermor entered into the possession of the Lakhtinsky estate, which then had 255 male souls. This clan was the owner of the estate until 1912, when its last representative got into debt and noble custody was established over the estate. On October 4, 1913, in order to pay off his debts, he was forced to go for corporatization, and the Lakhta estate passed into the ownership of the Joint Stock Company “Lakhta” of Count Stenbock-Fermor and Co.
After the revolution, Lakhta was left on its own for a while, here on the former estate of the counts Stenbock-Fermorov on May 19, 1919, the Lakhta excursion station was opened, which existed there until 1932. In the early 1920s, sand mining began on Lakhta beaches, and the abandoned and dilapidated peat plant of the Lakhta estate in 1922 took over the Oblzemotdel and put it into operation after major repairs. In 1963, the village of Lakhta was included in the Zhdanovsky (Primorsky) district of Leningrad (St. Petersburg).
At the beginning of Lakhtinsky Prospekt, on the banks of the Lakhtinsky spill, there was the village of Rakhilax (Rahilax-hof, Rahila, Rokhnovo). Most likely, under this name only one or several courtyards are designated. There is an assumption that the name of the village was formed from the Finnish raahata - “drag, drag,” because there could be a place for transportation through the isthmus of the Lakhtinsky spill (we should not forget that not only the bridge over the channel connecting the spill with the Gulf of Finland was not yet here, the duct itself was many times wider than the current one). The search book of the Spassko-Gorodensky graveyard of 1573, describing the Lakhta lands, mentions that there were 2 lodges in the “Rovgunov” village, from which we can conclude that we are talking about the village of Rohilaks, which the Russian scribes remade into a more understandable to them Rovgunovo. The village was empty in Swedish time and was counted as a wasteland of the village of Lahta.
On the banks of the Lakhtinsky spill, near the confluence of the Yuntolovka River, from the 17th century there existed the village of Bobylka (Bobylskaya), which merged into the village of Olgino only at the beginning of the 20th century, but was found on maps until the 1930s. It is probably the Search Book that mentions it Spassko-Gorodensky churchyard in 1573 as a village "in Lakhta in Perekui", behind which there was 1 obzh. With the arrival of the Swedes by royal letter on January 15, 1638, the village was transferred to the possession of the Stockholm dignitary, Rickshaw General Bernhard Sten von Stenhausen, a Dutchman by birth. On October 31, 1648, the Swedish government granted Lahti lands to the city of Nyuen (Nyenschanz). On the Swedish map of the 1670s, in the place of the village of Bobylsky, the village of Lahakeülä is marked (küla - the village (Fin.)). The village could subsequently be called Bobyl from the Russian word "bobyl."
The owners of Bobylskaya were both Count Orlov, and Count Y. A. Bruce, and the landowners Yakovlev. In 1844, Count A.I. Stenbok-Fermor entered into the possession of the Lakhtinsky estate (which included the village of Bobyl). This family was the owner of the estate until 1913, when the owners, in order to pay off their debts, had to go for corporatization, and the Lakhta estate was transferred to the ownership of the Lakhta Joint-Stock Company of Count Stenbock-Fermor and Co. By the middle of the 20th century, the village merged with the village of Lakhta.
The name Konnaya Lakhta (Konnaya) has been known since the 16th century, although earlier it sounded like Konduya (Konduya Lakhtinskaya) or just Kondu (from the Finnish kontu - courtyard, manor). Subsequently, this name was replaced by the more familiar Russian ear with the word "Horse". In the Search Book of the Spassko-Gorodensky Pogost in 1573, it is mentioned as the village "on Kovdui", where 1 obzh was listed, which indicates that there most likely was one yard. On January 15, 1638, together with neighboring villages, it was transferred to the possession of the Stockholm dignitary, Rickschulz General Bernhard Steen von Stenhausen, of Dutch origin. On October 31, 1648, the Swedish government granted these lands to the city of Nyuen (Nyenschanz). In a deed of gift, Konduya Lakhtinskaya is called a village, which indicates a noticeable increase in its population. Later, on the Swedish map of the 1670s, on the site of the present Horse Lahti, the village of Konda-bai is marked (by - village (sv)).
The owners of Konnaya Lakhta, as well as the villages of Bobylskaya and Lakhta, were in turn Count Orlov, Count Ya. A. Bruce, and the landowners Yakovlev. In 1844, Count A.I. Stenbok-Fermor entered the possession of the Lakhta estate (which included Konnaya Lakhta. This family was the owner of the estate until 1913, when the owners had to go to corporations to pay off their debts, and the Lakhta estate became the property of Lakhta Joint Stock Company of Count Stenbock-Fermor and Co. In 1963, Horse Lahta was included in the Zhdanov (Primorsky) district of Leningrad (St. Petersburg).
As the dacha village of Olgino appeared at the end of the 19th century and initially consisted of both Olgin itself and the villages of Vladimirovka (now part of Lisiy Nos) and Aleksandrovka. In the first half of the 18th century, this territory was part of the Verpelev palace estate, which in the second half of the 18th century was granted to Count G. G. Orlov, then it was owned by the family of landowners the Yakovlevs, in the middle of the 19th century the estate was transferred to the counts of Stenbock-Fermor. In 1905 A.V. Stenbok-Fermor, the then owner of Lakhta lands, divided the lands around Lakhta into separate plots with the intention of selling them profitably for dachas. So there were the villages of Olgino (named after the wife of Olga Platonovna), Vladimirovka (in honor of the father of the owner; the coastal part of the modern village of Lisy Nos) and Alexandrov or Aleksandrovskaya (in honor of Alexander Vladimirovich himself). It is likely that on the site of the village was the village of Olushino (Olushino odhe) - a search book of the Spassko-Gorodensky churchyard in 1573 mentions that there were 1 obzh in the village of Olushkov’s, which suggests that at least one residential the yard. On behalf of Olushka (Olpherius). Most likely, the village was deserted in Swedish time and then was already listed as a wasteland belonging to the village of Lahta. Thus, the name of the village could be given in harmony with the name of the mistress and the old name of the village.
The villages were planned among a sparse pine forest (the layout was preserved almost unchanged), so there were more amenities for living and spending time there than in Lakhta. A park was set up here, a summer theater, a sports ("gymnastic") playground, a tennis court, and a yacht club were arranged.
In the 1910s about 150 winter cottages were built in Olgino, many of which are striking monuments of "summer cottage" architecture. In 1963, the village of Olgino was included in the Zhdanovsky (Primorsky) district of Leningrad (St. Petersburg).
Near Olgino, in the area of the Dubki park, there was a small village Verpeleva (Verpelevo), which consisted of only a few yards. In the first half of the XVIII century. this territory was part of the palace estate "Verpeleva", which in the second half of the XVIII century. It was granted to Count G. G. Orlov, then passed to the Counts of Stenbock-Fermor. The village has not existed for a long time, but the entire reed-covered peninsula (barely protruding above the water of the Verpier-Luda peninsula (Verper Luda (from the Finnish luoto - “small rocky island”)) still existed, and there was another spelling the name of this island is Var Pala Ludo).
Kamenka. The Novgorod scribal book mentions two villages in the Lakhta region with a similar name, referring to the possessions of Selivan Zakharov, son of Okhten, with his son and 5 other co-owners. On the lands of this small patrimony, which, unlike the estate was inherited, peasants lived in 3 villages, including: the village "Kamenka in Lakhta near the sea" in 5 yards with 5 people and arable land in 1,5 obzhi, the village "on Kamenka "in 2 courtyards with 2 people and arable land in 1 obzhu. For the use of land, the peasants paid the owners of the patrimony 16 money and gave 1/3 of the rye harvest. Thus, in the 16th century on the Kamenka River (another name for the Kiviyoki River, which is the literal translation of kivi - "stone", joki - "river") there was one large village of Kamenka near its confluence with the Lakhtinsky spill and the second, smaller, somewhere upstream. On the drawing of Izhora land in 1705, a village under this name is depicted in the area of the modern village of Kamenka. The village of Kamennaya in the middle reaches of Kamenka and on the map of 1792 is designated. Other name options are Kaumenkka, Kiviaja.
In the second half of the 18th century, Kamenka became a vacation spot for Russian Germans. Here in 1865, German colonists founded their "daughter" colony on leased land. Since then, the village has received the name Kamenka Colony (so called until the 1930s). In 1892, a colony near the village of Volkovo "budded" from it. The inhabitants of both colonies belonged to the Novo-Saratov parish and since 1871 had a prayer house in Kamenka, which was visited by 250 people. He maintained a school for 40 students. The house was closed in 1935 and later demolished.
Currently, Kamenka exists as a holiday village, located along the road to Levashovo. Since 1961 - in the city, part of the planning area in the North-West, from the mid-1990s. built up with multi-storey residential buildings and cottages.
Volkovo. The settlement is about southeast of the village of Kamenka - on the old road to Kamenka, on the bank of a stream that flows into Kamenka between the village of Kamenka and the Shuvalovsky quarry. In 1892, a German colony emerged on the territory of the village, "budding" from a nearby colony in the village of Kamenka. The origin of Volkovo is not clear, the village is found only on maps of 1912, 1930, 1939, 1943. and probably appeared no earlier than the 19th century.
Kolomyagi. Scribe books of the XV — XVI centuries and Swedish plans testify that small settlements already existed on the site of Kolomyag. Most likely, these were first Izhora or Karelian, then Finnish farms, which were empty during the hostilities of the late XVII century.
The name "Kolomyag" connoisseurs decipher in different ways. Some say that it came from the "colo" - in Finnish cave and "pulp" - a hill, a hill. The village is located on the hills, and such an interpretation is quite acceptable. Others look for the root of the name in the Finnish word "koaa" - bark - and believe that trees were processed here after felling. Another version of the origin of the name from the Finnish "kello" is the bell, and it is associated not with the feature of the mountain, but with the "bell on the mountain" - a tower with a signal bell standing on a hill.
The owners of Kolomyazhsky lands were Admiral General A.I. Osterman, Count A.P. Bestuzhev-Ryumin, a family of Volkonsky. In 1789, the Volkonskys sold these lands to retired colonel Sergei Savvich Yakovlev. On his estate S. S. Yakovlev built a manor and lived in it with his wife and seven daughters. The once-Finnish population of Kolomyag was “Russified” by that time - it was made up of descendants of serfs resettled by Osterman and Bestuzhev-Rumin from their villages in Central Russia (natives of the Volga and Galich) and Ukraine. Then the name "Kellomyaki" began to sound in Russian fashion - "Kolomyagi", although later the old name also existed, especially among local Finns. And not without reason the indigenous Kolomozhites associate their origin with the Volga places, and the southern half of the village is now called “Galician”.
Yakovlev died in 1818. Five years after his death, a division of the territory of the manor was made. The village of Kolomyagi was divided in half between two of his daughters. The border was the Bezymyanny stream. The southeastern part of the village of Kolomyagi beyond Bezymyanny creek and a plot on the banks of the Bolshaya Nevka passed to the daughter Ekaterina Sergeevna Avdulina.
Daughter Yakovleva Elena Sergeevna - the wife of General Alexei Petrovich Nikitin, a hero of the Patriotic War of 1812, who was awarded the highest military orders and twice a gold sword with the inscription "For courage", died early, leaving her daughter Elizabeth. The northwestern part of Kolomyag inherited the young Elizabeth, so this part of Kolomyag was practically inherited by the father of Yakovlev’s granddaughter, Count A.P. Nikitin, who in 1832 became the owner of the entire village. It is his name that is stored in the names of the streets - 1st and 2nd Nikitinsky and Novo-Nikitinsky. The new owner built a stone mansion on the estate’s estate - an excellent example of classicism of the first third of the 19th century, which became his country house and has survived to this day and has been occupied until recently by the Nursing Home. It is believed that this mansion was built according to the project of the famous architect A.I. Melnikov. The severity and modesty of the architectural appearance of the facades and residential chambers of the Nikitin mansion was opposed by the splendor of ceremonial interiors, in particular the two-light dance hall with choirs for musicians. Unfortunately, with repeated alterations and repairs, many details of the decor and stucco emblems of the owners disappeared. Only two photographs of the 1920s and preserved fragments of ornamental molding and paintings on the walls and ceiling show the past richness of the decorative decoration of this architectural monument. The mansion was surrounded by a small park. In it stood a stone pagan woman brought from the southern steppes of Russia (transferred to the Hermitage), and a pond with a plakun waterfall was built. Near the pond there was a "walk of love" from the "paradise" apple trees - it was called so because the bride and groom passed through it after the wedding. Here, in the shadow of these apple trees, young lovers made appointments.
Under the Orlov-Denisov opposite the mansion (now Main Street, 29), the structures of an agricultural farm were erected, partially preserved to this day, and the greenhouse. Behind the farm were the master's fields. On them, as the New Time newspaper reported in August 1880, they tested the reaping and shearing machines brought from America.
In the 19th century, the provincial surveyor Zaitsev submitted for approval the highway called the Kolomyagskoye Shosse. The route was supposed to connect the village, gradually gaining fame as a summer residence of the "middle arm", with St. Petersburg. The construction of the road ended in the 1840s, and then horse-drawn and country-house crafts became the most important articles of peasant income. In addition, peasants either built small dachas in their yards, or rented their huts for the summer. Located away from the roads, surrounded by fields, the village was chosen by multi-family citizens.
The income from the summer cottage industry increased from year to year, which was facilitated by the summer movement of omnibuses that opened on the new highway from the City Council building. They walked four times a day, each accommodated 16 people, the fare cost 15 kopecks. Even when the Finnish Railway with the nearest Udelnaya station came into operation in 1870, the highway remained the main access road through which public carriages pulled by a trio of horses ran from the Stroganov (now Ushakovsky) bridge.
The importance of the highway has decreased since 1893, when traffic began along the Ozerkovskaya branch of the Primorsky Railway, built by the engineer P.A. Avenarius, the founder of the Sestroretsky resort.
