Armenia is memory. The kingdom of Urartu, crusaders, the travels of Leonardo da Vinci are events and characters from the history of one nation. It is common knowledge in Armenia that the world was created by Armenians, and Armenia is as old as the world itself. Anyone who has ever heard Djivan Gasparian play duduk, extracting sounds from the soul of the apricot tree, knows it. The Armenians’ paramount modern talent is their inborn optimism, their ability to create and reinvent themselves. Here, the longest cableway in the world was constructed; here, Marriott hotels were opened in Yerevan and Tsaghkadzor, here the Centre for Contemporary Art was unveiled in the best European tradition. Armenia is colour. The main hue of the Armenian palette is pale orange, apricot, the colour of the famous fruit, “the Armenian plum” as Alexander the Great called it. The apricot colour is on the state tricolour flag, in tuff-clad Yerevan houses and in the mist that colours the mountain passes and hides in the gorges. Churches blend into surroundings, cling to

mountain peaks, but this is not the shyness of ancient architecture, it is pure common sense. This way, the churches were left intact; neither the Tatars nor the Ottomans had demolished Armenia’s Christian structures. There are no railways in the country, the main highway from Yerevan to Tehran is peppered with tyre repair billboards, but at the same time Fernando Botero’s and Barry Flanagan’s originals stand in Yerevan in the open. The parks and boulevards of Yerevan, mountain ski resorts — all those projects were funded by the diaspora. The volume of assets provided to Armenia by its far-away sons and daughters is comparable to the state budget. Merci, as they say in Yerevan. The etymology of this “merci” is not without interest: in the early 20th century, the governor of Yerevan was the general of the Czar’s army, Louis Joseph Jérôme Napoléon. In 1905, governor Napoléon put a stop to riots in the city; the next day, all newspapers carried the headline “Merci, Napoléon!” Since then, “merci” became a part of everyday Yerevan life.

Modernity and antiquity of today’s Armenia. Women bake the lavash in a restaurant set up in a grotto. Lavash is the food of warriors and shepherds; thin and crispy, it dries instantly and may be stored for years. The restaurants of Tsaghkadzor Marriott and Armenia Marriott Hotel Yerevan offer European cuisine, but there is always home-made lavash.

In the Khor Virap monastery there are dungeons built in Roman times. One of them had for 13 years held Saint Gregory the Illuminator, the baptizer of the Armenian king Tiridates III and the first official head of the Armenian Apostolic Church. From Khor Virap, a vista opens up on the distant and coveted Ararat. A church is built on the foundations of the Roman prison, and a strict descendant of the earliest Armenian Christians sells candles in the church shop.

The national Yerevan-Tehran highway crosses the whole country. Ladas drive on it, flocks of sheep are driven along it. One of the not-to-be-missed stops is the Geghard monastery, dating back to the 4th century. There are no icons, frescoes and paintings had long faded away, but rare acoustics and carved stone bas-reliefs make this site unique.

The prior of the Tatev monastery, father Mikhail, takes visitors on tour himself. In the 14th century, Tatev had a major university with a huge library, where scholarly thought and arts flourished. In the courtyard stands Gavazan, a pendulous column dedicated to the Holy Trinity. It swings, alerting the monks and surrounding villages of minor earth tremors, and it has many times warned them of serious earthquakes.

From top right: peasants from a Zoroastrian settlement. A boy stands by the Cezve cafe in Republic Square, Yerevan. The ivy-cloaked gates of an old villa. It might seem that Armenia is sleeping, but perish the thought – it is not in a hurry, that is all. It is breathing calmly, which is the only way to survive 300 sunny days a year.

Jermuk is a mountain spa built in the 1950s, the favourite retreat of the Soviet elite and their near and dear. The walls of Stalin-era holiday hotels are still adorned with the portraits of the minister Anastas Mikoyan and the marshal Ivan Bagramyan.

After the 1931 earthquake, no houses were left on the bottom of the Vorotan gorge: people moved their houses up, closer to the sun. The road meandering down below is called “the devil’s road”. This photograph was taken from the cabin of the Wings of Tatev cableway.

некАзистый нА вид Подземный гриб уходит с молотка на аукционах по 5 -15 тысяч евро за килограмм. Но это только в октябре. К декабрю, закату сезона белых трюфелей, чья жизнь ярка, но скоротечна, грибы станут еще дороже... В чем секрет этого феномена? За что, говоря ботаническим языком, «плодовое тело гриба шойромицеса жилковатого» удостоено не просто внимания поваров и гурманов, но вызывает ажитацию и исступленное коленопреклонение? Все дело в аромате трюфеля — мощном, всепроникающем, изысканном, многообразном и влекущем. Аромате, который и не аромат уже, а вкус Dolce Vita. Аромате, который для каждого, его уловившего, свой и ни с чем не сравнимый. Аромате, который почти невозможно описать, поскольку в диковинном ассамбляже в зависимости от остроты обоняния можно обнаружить ноты сырой земли и специй, чеснока и подлеска, чуть подсохшей скошенной травы и меда, бензина и аммиака... Мировой столицей белых трюфелей считается небольшой

городок Альба в провинции Кунео северного итальянского региона Пьемонт. И итальянцы, располагающие массой старых трюфельных легенд, одна из которых гласит о том, что гриб — порождение лунного света, проникшего к подземным корням дуба, разбираются в трюфелях лучше других. Не будем останавливаться на трюфельной охоте с собаками, отметим лишь, что натасканная грибная собака стоит до 20 тысяч евро. Лучше вспомним о простом и прекрасном способе ощутить вкус нагретого трюфеля, упомянутый Еленой Костюкович в ее замечательной книге «Еда: итальянское счастье»: настругайте нагретый трюфель на простой крестьянский хлеб, капните немного оливкового масла, но только умбрийского, и посолите крупной солью. Но вернемся в рестораны. Белый трюфель способен преобразить, подняв на невероятный вкусовой уровень любую еду, наполнив ее своим ярким ароматом... Именно поэтому трюфели в виде тончайших стружек добавляют к основному блюду. И трюфель решает все.
