You can feel the connection of generations near this stone. The inscriptions on the stone were made centuries ago, and now you can not only look at it, but also touch it

The glacial boulder is about two meters across. Borisov stones with crosses and inscriptions of the 12th century carved on them are one of the most interesting monuments of Polotsk Russia. These were the boundary stones of Prince Boris, that is, something like boundary pillars. About what Ilya Muromets scratched turnips before in the epics

The stone of the 12th century, which is called the Boris stone, since the inscription on it was made by order of Prince Boris Vseslavich of Polotsk. The cross and the inscription are not clearly visible. I didn't see the inscription at all, I found a recess for my palm. It is considered a wish stone. They say you need to touch the stone with your right hand, make a wish and go around it 3 times. It is not known if wishes come true, but in any case, touching a stone is touching the history of Ancient Russia. And so externally, the stone is like a stone.

The authorship is attributed to Prince Boris, the son of Vseslav the Magician. Currently, 4 such stones are known, one of which is located in the Kolomenskoye Museum of the Moscow region.
