Rod Vasnetsov, priests and warriors, through the prism of the project «Vasnetsov symbols of eternity»

Shcherbakova Elena N.

The article is devoted to the revival, preservation and development of traditions bequeathed to the descendants of the famous Vasnetsov family through the implementation of the project “Vasnetsov Symbols of Eternity” in the Igrinsky district of the Udmurt Republic. Orthodox values have historically consolidated unity and statehood, but today there is a danger of losing spiritual ideals, which causes a vital need to revive and develop traditions of mercy and pride in one’s Fatherland. To help solve problems, you need a spiritual core, which is the creative legacy of the Vasnetsovs - a spiritual testament to descendants - to preserve tradition. As a rule, our knowledge of the talented Vasnetsovs is limited only to knowledge of the works of brothers-artists: Viktor Mikhailovich and Apollinar Mikhailovich. But no less remarkable are other representatives of this glorious family who have left a noticeable mark in our history.
