We went on a trip with my groupmates and another group of students that study German language. We went to Borovichi and then to a village called Konchansko-Suvorovskoe. It's about 250 km (155 miles) away from V.Novgorod.
We went to see the estate of Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov (24 November 1729 or 1730 – 18 May 1800). Suvorov is considered to be one of the few generals in history who never lost a battle (63-0). He was famed for his military manual The Science of Victory and noted for several of his sayings, including "What is difficult in training will become easy in a battle", "The bullet is a mad thing; only the bayonet knows what it is about", and "Perish yourself but rescue your comrade!". He taught his soldiers to attack instantly and decisively: "Attack with the cold steel! Push hard with the bayonet!" He joked with the men, calling common soldiers 'brother', and shrewdly presented the results of detailed planning and careful strategy as the work of inspiration. (Wiki).
So, here are some pictures.
P.S. - pictures from Borovichi's museum will be posted later on.
