To provide you with timestamps for three interesting points suitable for shorter videos, I need a little more direction. "Interesting" is subjective. Please tell me what aspects of the video you find most compelling, e.g., the mystery of Liberia, the architectural details, the stories of specific historical figures, or the restoration techniques. Once you specify your preferences, I can give you three precise timestamps highlighting those aspects.

Okay, here are three timestamps representing the three aspects you mentioned (mystery, architecture, and historical figures), each suitable for a shorter video clip:

1. Mystery of Liberia (and Ivan the Terrible): 0:25-0:31 This segment introduces the mystery surrounding the location of Ivan the Terrible's library (Liberia) and describes the intriguing features found in the Vasilychikovs' estate. This could be a good hook for a video focusing on the historical enigma.

2. Architectural Details (Streltsy Palaces): 10:59-11:29 This section details the unique corridor and ventilation system within the restored Streltsy Palaces, showcasing the remarkable architectural design. This would be ideal for viewers interested in historical architecture.

3. Stories of Historical Figures (Peter the Great & Trubetskoy-Bove Estate): 30:08-30:50 This segment begins the discussion of the Trubetskoy-Bove estate and its connection to Peter the Great through his mother, Natalia Naryshkina. It's a good start to a story-driven video that could elaborate on the family connections and their involvement with the estate's history.

Remember that these are starting points. You may need to adjust the end times slightly depending on your desired video length and pacing. Let me know if you would like other options or want to focus on a specific aspect in more detail.
