Сценарий вечера: We Live in Gagarin
Ведущие:
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!
We are glad to see you at our party!
Today we are going to speak about our hometown Gagarin.
Let’s remember some historical pages!
Well, maybe long ago there was a small settlement or an inn… It’s a pity that there are no sources proving that.
Our party is devoted to the history of foundation and development of our town.
(Сценарий иллюстрируется слайдами из презентации)
It is closely connected with St-Petersburg. Peter the Great studied the waterways for conveyances of grain and other goods to supply the new capital with bread.
One day he arrived to the bank of the Gzhat river. We should say that in 1715 our river wasn’t so small as nowadays.

On November 16th 1779 the development plan of Gzhatsk was ratified and in 1780 Empress Catherine the Great gave an emblem to the town: a barge loaded with grain on a silver field.

Legends were told about Samus (his real name Fedor Potapov)
(сценка про французов)
Мужики лежат в засаде.
Two French soldiers are going along the road.
-Эти русские совсем нецивилизованные люди.
-Да, месье, они воюют не по правилам.
- Ну да ладно, скоро мы будем в Москве.
(Из-за кустов выходят мужики с вилами и рогатками)
Stop,messie! Hands up! Tie them! Let’s bring them to Samus!

On November 2nd 1812 the Kutuzov Army came back to Gzhatsk.
The town was in ruins. And it began to rebuilt.
(изображение Гжати)
But in 1836 the Gzhat gave an unpleasant surprise. The flood began at the end of February. Nobody was ready for that. The caravan came to St.Petersburg only in half a year. So Gzhatsk merchants were ruined.
By 1851 the Gzhat became shallow and the town lost its importance.
By that time in Russia the development of railways had begun.

The town merchants try to find the way to return to Gzhatsk its importance.
(заседание купцов во главе с Иваном Комаровым)
Komarov: - Good afternoon!
Merchants: - Good afternoon!
K:-My dear friends, I’m worried about the problems of our town. As far as I know there is a project according to it the railway will be built in 16 km to the south from this place.
M1:- If only the road would be built here.
K: - If we could raise a sum of money, we would persuade the engineers to change the projects. What do you think about that?
M2: - I’m sure it’s an excellent idea! I will give as much money as I can. Here it is!
M3: - Take my money, too. It’s a good deed.
M1: - For a good thing money is not sorry.
K: -Thank you very much. In a week I am going to meet railway engineers.
M1: - I’ll do my best to help you in this important business.

Ведущие: Our party is coming to the end.
And we want to finish it with the words of Anna Timofeevna Gagarina : “A person must leave something of himself on the earth. Not just after yourself, but from yourself. From his talent, his heart, his warmth. And perishing what footprint after you will remain - time will judge”.
