In the beginning there was a movie
“Shchurovo ancient settlement” appeared as a set for Pavel Lungin’s film “The Tsar”. The movie was filmed, and the village so harmoniously fit into the concept of the city-museum Suzdal, that they decided to leave everything as it was. Now several times a year festivals and historical reconstructions are held here, and on ordinary days families come here to relax and have fun. On the territory of the museum is fully recreated traditional village of the times of Kievan Rus: there is a blacksmith shop, armory, huts, dugouts, cattle pens with live goats and pigs, and even has a small vegetable garden.
