Good day I m a member of a russian reenactment group Bern which tries to recreate the company of bernese militia of the mid late 14c although some of us( there are near 80 members all over country) reenact 15c now we try to short such period rate of our men and to avoid participating in events in different stuff. In Russia we have long tradition of reenactment(which is cold reconstruction)we always tried to do most accurate personal items and armour but we lacked what is called- the living history. Now we want to bring our events to lh standarts, making tents,furniture,ware etc but i d like to know, what is the conception of lh events in western Europe and USA, what people do, when tents made,men dressed and armed, food is koocking in the pots? respectfully yours Boris Stepanov Bern webpage

Hello Boris:The North American version of your 'construction' is similar in the making of the items. We try to be as accurate as we can. Once that is done, we use them for the living history. Living History would be best described as doing what a person in the 14th century (or any century) would have done with that equipment. For the group where I live, we train with the armour and weapons. This allows visitors to watch closely, and we are able to tell them what we are doing. If one of us is making shoes, then he would explain to the visitors what and why he is doing. If there are no visitors to our encampment, then we happily live as those in the 14th century England would have done. I as a woodworker always have an item to make. But I take a break and practice with the swords, or cook food over the fire. A week long encampment that is open to the public visitors. Encampment недели длинний открыто к общественным визитерам. Пожалуйста заметьте это место примет с интернета скоро.
I hope this helps. --- Северный американский вариант вашей ' конструкции ' подобен в делать деталей. Мы пытаемся быть как точны по мере того как мы можем. Как только то сделано, мы используем их для living истории. Living история наиболее наилучшим образом была бы описана по мере того как делающ что персону в 14-ом столетии (или любом столетии сделал с тем оборудованием. Для группы где я живу, мы тренируем с панцырем и оружиями. Это позволяет визитерам наблюдать близко, и мы можем сказать им мы делаем. Если одно из нас делает ботинки, то он объяснил бы к визитерам и почему он делает. Если не будут визитеров к нашему encampment, то мы счастливо живем как те в 14-ом столетии Англии сделали бы. Ii1 по мере того как woodworker всегда имеет деталь, котор нужно сделать. Но я принимаю пролом и практикую с шпагами, или едой кашевара над пожаром. Я надеюсь это помогает.

Rough Translation of the top paragraph under the banner ad.--- From Altavista Babel Fish --- http://world.altavista.com/tr Russian to English translation. Announcement Of festival "Black Sea porubezh'e" To the end of 15 centuries by Italian city-states, in particular by genoa was conducted the active colonization of the Black Sea coast of present Kuban. Within the framework of our festival is conducted the reconstruction of the Genoa fastened settling, which underwent attack. The commandant of strengthening caused aid from the adjacent colonies. To participants in the festival it is proposed to recreate these events. It is in more detail... [ 02-27-2006: Message edited by: Fire Stryker ] -------------------- ad finem fidelis

Hi Boris, nice to meet Russian people there. I saw on your website you go to Vyborg. I have been there in 2001. It seems there is more and more people there now as far as I can see from your photos. Here in France, there is not so many good LH events. A lot of people make reenactment/entertainement activities and not actually LH. So all the activities are based on display only : some craftsmen workshop (mail making, leatherworking...), demonstration of weapon using, training sessions and artistic displays of fighting. The mass battle are based on strict rules (fights are much much much softer than in Russia). The best event I have seen as a LH was the occupation of the Haut-Koenigsbourg castle by the Company of Saint-Georges (the European one), where you could visit a big rebuilt (in XIXth century) castle with people living around you as in end of XVth century : cooks in the kitchen, servants wandering around, women making garments in higher rooms, guards training with Talhoffer technics, clerks copying texts, smith making iron tools... I think that the easiest way to be more LH oriented is to think about a character (and the group) as an actual person (or group) and try to have the items to answer the question as you would do for you today : what do I do when I get up in the morning, with what item, and what do I need to make my job, how I go to work... And other ones to answer are : am I comfortable with my hoses ?, do I use my period raining garb when it's raining or a modern one, ? Can I wake up, wash myself and have a quick break with only period items ? Yann aka Per Braz
