Valery Kulesh Biography

A person who restores temples. Valery Kulesh was engaged in the restoration of the Holy Trinity Cathedral, the Krasnodar Philharmonic, the Sochi Marine Station, and worked on the reconstruction of the drawings of the military Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Journalists of the South portal. Where are the restorers prepared? I studied in our Polytechnic, became an architect. He worked in parallel with his studies and in the fourth year was the leader of the group.

You see, here I have a “designer guide”, “reinforced concrete structures” and so on on the table. And all this had to be known. And today they say: why is it needed? Does the Internet know everything? Guys, there is a continuous misinformation. We worked for other countries, so I had to learn English. I managed to prove myself, and I was taken to the GIPPROGRG, the State Institute for the Design of Trade and Catering Enterprises.

It was necessary to build a house of political education Red, 5, Adyghe Oblast Executive Committee, many other buildings. It was a very interesting time. I have a higher education, but when I started to engage in restoration work, I had to study a lot. He went to Moscow to the All-Union Research Institute of Restoration, located in the Danilov Monastery. It was now that you pressed the button - and got all 33 pleasures, and at that time even such simple things as restoration instructions and prescription reference books had to be taken by hook.

We traveled throughout the country with bow, did the shooting, found in old books and slowly studied. After perestroika, a restoration cooperative was organized, and many objects fell on our shoulders: the building on Red 15, the Fotiadi house, the house on Lenin 60, where the diocese, the Trinity Church and the St. George Church are now. They engaged in the transfer of the house of General Vishnevetsky, who initially stood next to the KGB building, built into the facade part of the quarter.

Now they made it corner, it contains a committee for the protection of monuments. The Krasnodar Holy Trinity Cathedral The state allocated quite good money for restoration. They worked daylight hours, and there was, you know, such a strong enthusiasm that it came to curioses. Once, after the end of the work, I closed the temple, closed the exit from the bell tower and went home. I’m coming in the morning, and they inform me that in the evening they forgot on the roof of the Church of climbers.

Thank God they had ropes. During the restoration, the guys did not drink in the church, did not smoke, everything was strictly, and we always followed this. Are people believing restorers? Yes, we are all believers. But faith is a very intimate thing. In one smart book it was written that if a person shouts that he is a believer, he is no longer a believer. After all, drawing is one thing, and what the architect really succeeds depends on many nuances.

Therefore, the modern Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is not at all what it was before. But my scabies are not because of faith, but about admiration for the talent of the architect. It is a pity that they did not recreate the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in a historical place. From an architectural point of view, it would be a real center of Krasnodar, which is not present, it is smeared.

What did the young people do in our youth? We walked from Gorky to the world. From the world to Gorky. There was not enough and not enough rod, a universal center. This sign is awarded by Russian jewelers, artists and stone abstracts. Who is Faberge? This is the master, a businessman who was working for the best masters. One of them was Perkhin. It was he who made these famous eggs from Faberge.

It was difficult to live on one salary, so simultaneously I worked as a freelance artist in the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. We made technical drawings, as they would say now, 3D models. There was a lot of work, and there were no rooms in order to work. In the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, they gave me paper that I have the right to remove the workshop. I searched, in the end I found this room and leased it, which I constantly extended.

And now for 38 years since I have been working here. According to all the laws of the genre, I needed to completely disassemble them, reduce and glue them, and I made such inserts, and became like new ones. The main principle of restoration is no harm. With normal restoration, you need to make sure that there is not even suspicion that someone touched with their own hands.

My great -grandfather was an artist, working on the famous panorama "Defense of Sevastopol". The son is engaged in tuning cars. There are students: one guitar is doing, the other teaches, another now stands on the street, is waiting, I’ll finish with you - and I’ll go.
