snow, renewal, snow, rebirth, and impatience, beating in the chest, something spring. something spring awaits ahead, as if stars and snowflakes dotted the distances into which we must go, something spring, something spring awaits ahead, something spring, something spring awaits ahead.

how is life for foreign guests in belarus? i am lithuanian, i came here from vilnius, i currently live here, i’m very happy with this... i’m happy, it’s a wonderful country, good people, by the way, very similar in mentality to kazakh people, that is , open, friendly, kind, i the artistic director of this circus, our circus is perhaps the only circus in the world that is located in the very center of the city, our women's club, and we are for the sun to shine, for the children to laugh, for them to rejoice, and if we can... watch

the project "look at belarus" on our tv channel. one of the most populous cities in the metropolitan area, today 98,500 people live here. the fate of most of them

is tightly connected with the belarus-potassium enterprise, which operates on the basis of one of the largest in europe, the koliyna and rock salt deposits, the starobin deposit, discovered by geologists in 1949. dear friends, we are in one of the youngest cities in belarus, a city of miners and creative people, in soligorsk, we will show it to you from an unusual side, the mines. and there will be no salt caves, don’t switch! the only folk museum in belarus will open its doors to us . using a unique technique, under the supervision of an experienced needlewoman, we will make new year's decorations. in the museum of the regional internal affairs directorate we learn about rarities that, it would seem, can only be seen in soviet films. we will visit one of the oldest temples in our country. which are often

called the blue pearl of soligorsk. before the start of the trip, i’ll tell you how to get from the capital to soligorsk. minibus taxis from minsk depart every hour, the journey in a minibus will be almost 1:40, the fare costs from 6 to 16 rubles. by private car along the slutsk highway you can get to the city of shakhtyorov in about an hour and a half; the distance from minsk to soligorsk is 130 km.

dear friends, welcome to novostarobensk. few people know, but that's how it is the city was once called soligorsk, now only the inscription on the stone reminds of this, which symbolizes the beginning of the construction of the city. ekaterina, why did the city decide to change its name? well, according to one of the legends, once upon a time a powerful sorcerer lived on these lands, and his hands were raking and his eyes were in charge of the heart of a pebble stone, he took wealth from people and hid it in himself, people tried to fight against him, but they had nothing did not work. snowy the wizard naturally grew weaker, and one day he realized that people would be able to to win, so he got ready to rob and hide with her. as the years passed, the wizard disappeared, that very wealth turned into a red stone, famine came on the earth, people suffered greatly from hunger and shed a lot of salty tears, these salty tears turned into a huge salty sea. naturally, every fairy tale and legend has its own grain of truth; once upon a time, in the upper

devonian period , a huge salty sea grew here on the territory of modern polysium and such large creatures lived there that have very interesting the name of the cancer is scorpions, despite their name, they have nothing to do with modern land creatures... spies or river crays, these real sea monsters could reach a length of up to one and a half meters. tourists have nothing to fear. now you won’t find these creatures in soligorsk. as for the name of the city, the former one: novostorobinsk, appeared in the documents for only about a year. in 1959 , the town turned into the workers' village of soligorsk, which was initially designed for 12 thousand people at most. first labor. arrived in the south of the minsk region with 300 people, every day there were more people, since an all-union construction project was announced, and over time the village turned into a clean , cozy town under the well-known name solegorsk.

dear friends, coming to soligorsk and not seeing the shakhtar monument is the same as if you came to paris and didn’t see the eiffel tower. by the way, many people here like to take photographs, because it symbolizes, as it were, the discoverer of the local mineral resources. indeed, this monument was erected in 1977 symbolizes such a collective image. the fact is that miner's work is always a... very labor-intensive process of going down into the mine in order to get that same rut salt, it is very difficult, very difficult. people decided that the miner’s work should be immortalized in a stone in vetali. the 5 m high sculpture was built in

august 1977 in honor of the soligorsk miners who were pioneers of the mining industry of our country. touched. hands represent strength and health, wings are associated with a gust of wind. there's a strong man behind it all the character of the man who gave the belarusian land a stone of productivity. it is not surprising that the first streets of this city were named after the people who worked here with complete dedication. looking at the infrastructure of the modern city, it is difficult to believe that 65 years ago there were only fields and small villages in this place. ekaterina and i are now in the historical part of the city, despite the fact

that many renovations have taken place in soligorsk over the past few years, we still managed to preserve the spirit of that time, especially this can be felt well on leninsky komsomol street, it is here that the first administrative centers and socially significant buildings of the city appeared, a school, a store, a kindergarten, walls that still remember their builders, and people, a history that is forever inscribed in the annals of soligorsk. the help of god's word.

the main goal of our farm is not to earn money, but to provide ourselves with good quality products. how to build a house and not get divorced, that's what helped? probably, after all, there is a desire to be together, and a miracle, the leader from the capital will have to know everything the delights of rural life, apparently a tv presenter with experience in construction work, well, i have. i have a wife, i have a mother-in-law, i think , as a man, you understand what it smells like,

it’s still so mocking, i don’t know, you can see it, you can’t see it, that’s where they’re sticking out their noses , the city guy is cleaning up after us, okay, the project i’m from the village, watch on the tv channel belarus 24. during our journey, we learned that the inhabitants of the city and region were not only now always famous for their sincerity, kind heart and flexible character, now we we are heading to where people carefully preserve hundreds of touching stories and thousands of photographs. we will soon find ourselves in the mother museum, which is located in the center of creativity for children and youth. here every corner is imbued

with love and human generosity. for more than 15 years, the mother people's museum has been visited by hundreds of visitors; it is the only one in belarus. the first exhibition tells about amazing women from the alegorsk region, who were awarded state awards for their many years of work. perhaps one of the most touching places in the museum is the corner dedicated to childhood and... motherhood, it is here that you can get closer to the original belarusian traditions and experience all the warmth and sincerity of all the mothers of the salegorsk region. there are probably no peaks that a woman would not conquer, it is very important that a woman is not only the keeper of the family hearth, home comfort, has created a family, but it is also very important that she was able to achieve something in her profession, such heights in the profession, here ,

as you can see, women of different professions, here are doctors, teachers, and cultural workers, athletes, next door, a mini-exhibition that illustrates the life of a woman of the 19th-20th centuries, ancient irons. it is important that the exhibits were received by museum workers as a gift from local representatives of the fair sex. belarusian hut, late 19th, early 20th centuries, here, as you can see, everything is also connected with motherhood and childhood, when a child is born, they put him in a cradle like this, you see how it used to be... on this hook to the ceiling got attached, the mother rocked the child, sang lullabies,

spun, and the museum also contains stories of women different professions: teachers, doctors, engineers, the pages of the lives of the feats of the participants of the great patriotic war touch to the depths of their souls. these are hundreds of fascinating stories from anti-aircraft gunners, scouts, paratroopers and ordinary home front workers. and this section of our museum is dedicated to probably the most famous one. a woman from our soligorsk district, a native of the urban village of starobin, soligorsk region , people's artist of the bssr, people's artist of the ussr, actress of the kupalovsk theater. theater and cinema, galina klimentevna makarova. we are very proud that our land of sarigorda has nurtured such talents, one might say, folk talents. here you can see photos from her family archive, that is, she is not only a talented actress and realized herself in the profession, but she was also a wonderful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, so we

dedicated this corner to her, she had, she had very multifaceted, not only an actress. but she was also a woman, she was a needlewoman, she loved to sing, and at the same time she loved to embroider, this is her unfinished embroidery, a gift to our museum from her daughter, tatyana. by the way, in the mother's people's museum, now they are working on creating virtual excursions, many exhibits are being digitized and assigned qr codes, but there are things that you want to touch. adults and children do handicrafts at the creativity center. we were lucky, we got to attend a master class by kolga, who, as it turned out, knows how to surprise. i’m olga, i admit, i’ve been to a variety of master classes, very different, but honestly,

this is the first time in my life that i’ve seen something like this, this is your original technique. yes, we came up with the technique ourselves, tried it, experimented with various materials worked, so they decided that threads are the best option for children, since it’s quick, simple and threads can be found in every home, and it’s more interesting for a beginner, of course, when he succeeds one way or another the first time, of course, this is exactly what a job that everyone can get right the first time. under the sensitive patronage of a needlewoman. actual new year's craft, we will need cardboard, glue, thread, and a little more imagination and ingenuity. what techniques do you, olga, work with? floristry background, working with natural materials. these are the main ones directions of our activities. we also master modern techniques, such as

scrapbooking and decoupage, which is very interesting when working. made in mixed technique, that is, when the background of floristry is combined with natural material, or natural material is combined with decoupage, based on the material we have, we try something, experiment, we ourselves prepare, stabilize flowers, plant leaves, this is substitution liquids in plants to a special composition, a solution that prevents them from drying out, crack, crumble, with the help of... stabilization, soft lichens and leaves become soft, so they retain their softness and elasticity for many years, i would never have guessed in my life that these are really natural leaves, yes, these are leaves, the particle is called for a long time they are preserved from 5 to 10 years. this is our new year’s mood

, winter tree, olga, thank you very much, i honestly didn’t even think that some kind of creativity could open up in me, thank you very much, please, you turned out beautiful, thank you very much, dear friends, in fact, this is all very simple, the main desire is to stock up on materials, and olga already told us the principle, you will also succeed if i succeeded. don't be surprised, the next point on our route is the local rvd. there are two museums with amazing exhibits here. agree, such rarities can now be seen only in soviet

films. but it seems to me, oleg, that the most popular car is probably the yellow penny with which everyone is trying take a photo, no, well, in my opinion, everyone likes the 21st volga the most, although the vaz-2101 is... very interesting, it is interesting primarily for its green flashing light, and why, by the way, it is green, few people know , but in fact this is not just like that, this is not an accident, and indeed at one time in cars...

well, a function that symbolizes the traditions laid down by other generations of law enforcement agencies. the mini-exhibition of official soviet police cars is located under a special canopy that protects veteran cars from impact of weather events. the exhibition of vintage cars itself is located near the building of the soligorsk district department of internal affairs and is accessible to everyone . you can take pictures with the equipment and inspect it, but touching it with your hands is prohibited. and we are in the history room of the salegorod district department of internal affairs, in the context of the history of law enforcement vehicles , it is worth noting this uniform,

this is a post-war uniform , and the dark blue color of special vehicles is associated with its dark blue color, that is , dark blue color, red stripe , very the color scheme is close to that of a car, and the shape of the eighties, which appeared back in the sixties, is already the period of cars, familiar to us from soviet films, with yellow coloring. according to rvd employees, the police trophies themed area is very popular among tourists. there are firearms , pneumatic and edged weapons. all samples at different times belonged to residents of the soligorsk region. among these criminal samples, there are, for example , samples of homemade weapons. samples, weapons very enough, this is already practical and historical, let’s say this is the walter p-38, this was the weapon of reich officers back in the day,

that is, the nazis used such pistols, one of our newest copies of the collection here is... the rest of the secrets, rvd employees will be happy to reveal, not during a television excursion, but at a decent meeting with tourists, everyone is welcome here.

each week we review the main topics that have generated the most interest. our viewers and subscribers on social networks, we offer you to learn the belarusian language while walking with our tv guides, and we also introduce you to amazing people who live in belarus and do everything for its development. broadcast 24/7, a project that everyone should see. watch us every friday on the belarus24 tv channel. a journey through the blue-eyed land through the eyes of foreigners, such a detour is interesting, in general it’s a mill, a mill

, yes, the book donquixote reminds me of this, but can you take a photo of me , please, one photo, okay, no question, oh, what a beauty, so big, oh, just like pollo, how are these animals, but they are not animals , a graduate student from ecuador and a socialite from lebanon, learn in practice: what is work in belarusian and do it, so that you look at the edge that you got a circle, we need to be proud of a certain weight , when you stand at the top, when we work at the bottom , you have to make sure that the wreath goes evenly, and also get to know the local folklore better, the belarusian song is unique, i can’t help but compare it with anything, it’s my own, i can see it there difference between russian and belarusian, there is a difference.

and then we head to the village of chezheviche to see the famous shrine of the region. here she is. the pearl of the soligorsk region, the holy protection church, one of the oldest in our country. in his lifetime, he has seen a lot of wars and revolutions, nevertheless, he survived, now they hold services here and are happy to see everyone, and in addition to chezhevichi, the orthodox parish includes 22 villages in the soligorsk region. modest and compact, this is how the monument

to republican wooden architecture looks.

closed, the priest was shot in slutsk. only five decades later, the prosecutor's office of the bssr rehabilitated him, and the synod of the belarusian orthodox church canonized priest ioan pankratovich as a revered saint, among the twenty-three new martyrs of the minsk diocese. now on the territory of the church of the intercession of the blessed virgin mary there is also a church named in honor of ivan chyuzhevsky; the decoration

of the shrine is amazing. all.

an educated woman at that time was such a good companion in every sense, which indicates that she was a very spiritual companion, because she graduated minsk religious school. historical moment, mash, you and i are standing in front of an icon, the keel icon of father john, once upon a time he stood and prayed for you and me, today we approach: this horse, it was restored, of course, here is the red corner itself - this, too, was all done by the hands of his family. the exhibits are personal items that father john used during his lifetime. i have a bread box or cracker in my hands. it was made by the hands of father john, of course, they brought it into proper shape. so we always store crackers here. ours makes the crackers.
