Kostenko says that the main thing for the Spas TV channel is respect for the audience

Boris Kostenko headed Spas in 2009. According to Kostenko, his task as head of the TV channel was to promote the Orthodox experience of life and interpret events from the standpoint of traditional moral laws.

“The main thing for us is respect for the audience. Rating and reputation are two different things, we are not a commercial product. The viewer wants to be talked to, and not just entertained and shocked. We do not give chewing gum for the eyes, not secular gossip, but new knowledge.”

Kostenko believes that the distinctive feature of the channel is the regularity of the broadcast and the absence of a plot mosaic.

Invited experts are allowed to speak; the discussion does not descend to the level of “clamor and barking,” as happens on the central channels.

Kostenko works not only for a religious audience. The TV channel offers viewers discussions on economic and political topics.

Boris Kostenko in the program on the Spas channel

“We have programs on a variety of topics. For example, the “Conservative Club”, where we say that the country needs a different economic doctrine, based on a person with his spiritual world and motivation.

The goal of the economy is not the pursuit of profit, but to ensure the stable existence of each individual, so that everyone has a guaranteed level of health care and education. These are conservative postulates.

And the majority of other TV channels encourage you to have fun and get rich. This is a road to nowhere, which many in Russia understand.”

“Spas” is not only a religious and discussion TV channel. In addition, he educates his viewers.

“It’s always important to raise the bar of conversation. If we are talking about the “Immortal Regiment”, it is not enough to say, for example, that this is a tribute to bygone generations.

People, walking through the streets with the faces of front-line soldiers, thereby sang the Easter troparion: “Trampling down death on death and giving life to those in the tombs.” When Nikita Mikhalkov said this on our broadcast, everyone was amazed.

Indeed, it was as if we had given immortal life to the heroes of the war - those who laid down their lives for their friends and for us.”

Kostenko is the author of more than twenty documentaries

Here are just a few of them:

1. “Who needs this war? Transnistrian diary" (1992).
2. "Island of Serbia" (1993).
3. “Tragedy in the Optina Pustyn Monastery” (1993).
4. "Sevastopol" (1993).
5. “On the Land of Saint Sava” (1994).
6. "Montenegro" (1995).
7. "Tsushima" (1995).
8. "Return. Philosopher Ivan Ilyin" (1995).
9. "Pochaev Lavra" (1996).
10. "Bosnia and Herzegovina" (1996).
11. “Brest Fortress (1996).
12. "Sergei Bondarchuk" (1996).
13. "White Angel of Moscow" (2008-2010).

Boris Kostenko is a winner of international and domestic awards and prizes

Interesting Facts

• Speaks English, Serbian and Hungarian.
• He has made several documentaries that have won international and domestic awards.
• Master of Sports of the USSR in modern pentathlon.

Perhaps this is how one can characterize these unique, highly profitable birds.

Why unique?

In a large number of scientific journal, newspaper and electronic articles, you can find information about the unique properties of quail eggs, which differ from others (for example, chicken) in their exceptional nutritional and even medicinal value. Dishes prepared from quail have long been considered an exquisite delicacy.

Quail eggs are superior to chicken eggs in many nutrients. And for some, quite significantly. 5 quail eggs, equal in weight to one chicken egg, contain 5 times more potassium, 4.5 times more iron, 2.5 times more vitamins B1 and B2. Quail eggs contain significantly more vitamin A, nicotinic acid, phosphorus, copper, cobalt, limiting and other amino acids. Quails have more protein in their eggs than other breeding birds. For example, chicken eggs contain 55.8% protein, quails - 60%. Comparative characteristics of the content of vitamins, minerals and amino acids are given in Table 1.

Quail eggs are a valuable food product that can be recommended in the diet of children and adults for a number of diseases. They do not cause allergic reactions even in those people for whom chicken eggs are contraindicated. As practice shows, regular consumption of quail eggs can CURE ALLERGIES in children and adults. Raw quail eggs mixed with orange juice are used to treat asthma.

Why high-yield?

The production of quail eggs is cheaper than chicken eggs, and quail farming is the most profitable poultry farming .

   It is very sad that Spas was left without Kostenko B.I. Smart, professional journalist, his programs were interesting and of high quality. The Spas channel is not for entertainment, but for reflection and analysis of many events. Now there is a lot of advertising, not very necessary programs, uninteresting presenters .Watching New Day with E. Gorenko, Monastic Kitchen, Parsun and cycles of topics about historical events, about the royal family, about the righteous, To the very essence, Our songs. More educational programs about worship, about holidays, about Russia in the last century, etc. .dMore programs about religious and classical music, literature, painting, more educational topics.

A female quail with a live weight of 125 g, an egg production of 250 - 300 eggs per year, has an egg mass that is 20 - 24 times greater than the bird itself (in chickens it is 8 times). At the same time, the female eats about 10 kg of food per year. We get: the cost of feed is 10 * 15 rubles (for 1 kg of high-quality feed, in reality this price is 20-60% lower, due to the use of the automated quail breeding technology

) = 150 rubles.
250 eggs at a price of 15 rubles for 1 dozen (this is the wholesale price for receiving eggs in stores, retail eggs are much more expensive) will give 25 * 15 = 375 rubles, we get a net income of 375-150 = 225 rubles, and this is only from the sale of eggs. A year later we slaughter the female, which will also bring another 25-40 rubles. In addition, one female gives an income of 250-265 rubles per year. On average, at home in a small barn you can keep 2-3 thousand quails, so using our technology and equipment for breeding quails you get 750 - 765 thousand rubles a year or 63 thousand rubles monthly.
In addition, quails serve as “suppliers” of high-quality meat, which is considered a dietary product. It’s not for nothing that in Rus' quail dishes were considered royal food.

Currently, due to the ease of keeping and feeding, they are bred by many amateur quail breeders and farms. Interest in breeding quails is caused both by the high taste of their eggs and meat, and by the fact that the costs of breeding pay off very quickly.

The precocity of quail is two times higher than that of Peking duck, and three times higher than that of rabbits. The full cycle from laying eggs in the incubator to the first egg from a young quail is only 52-66 days. Within ten days, the young begin to change feathers, after 25 days they fledge, at 30 they become adults, and at 40-45 days they begin to lay eggs.

There are not many quail farms in Russia and Ukraine that are engaged in the industrial production of eggs and meat. According to experts, the “quail market” has been developed by about 20%, therefore, given that quail eggs and meat are in increasing demand among the population, we can safely talk about the prospects of quail farming.

By starting quail breeding, you will ensure a stable income and provide your family with an environmentally friendly, high-quality and tasty product.
