thank you, the review was prepared by olesya vysotskaya. more news from the economic sphere and not only on the website of our tv channel www.belarus24.by. good neighborly relations

between belarus and russia are not only about politics and economics is also a deep connection between people, common roots and history. according to various sources, about 5 million people live in russia who consider themselves belarusians. how do they assess what is happening today around our countries ? we address this question to the guest of the program, the head of the federal national-cultural autonomy of belarusians of russia, a member of the presidium of the council under the president of the russian federation, academician sergei kondebovich. sergei lvovich, you recently came to minsk to participate in a meeting of the advisory council at the ministry of foreign affairs on affairs belarusians abroad. that's how comfortable it is today.

these spiritual bonds, it is so clearly manifested in communication with representatives of all 193 nationalities who live in the russian federation, from ours... they sit very intently with interest with very great pride that both russians and belarusians

have preserved exactly this is their core, the core of the bearers of high spirituality, high culture, high education, and the fact that our enemies today are trying to do something, to break it, they have this in their lives it will never work out, because neither the russians nor the belarusians, they were even close to the values ​​​​that are being promoted in the west today, everything else comes from these spiritual values, this is economics, this is finance, this is their beast, which is called askal against our unity, so i think that finally all these things have appeared, which have further strengthened our unity, which have further strengthened our solidarity, we didn’t even think that we were so strong, it turned out... that when the time has come, well, let’s not deceive ourselves through certain tests, we have shown precisely our

character, the character of the russians, belarusians, that we are, firstly, even more united together, and secondly, those indicators that, well , excuse me, are objective figures that our enemies cite, they wanted to tear us apart, but we became more powerful, stronger, more powerful, moreover, it seems to me that thank you. in quotes, thanks to these gentlemen, who with their actions showed us where we had a weakness, and we closed this weakness very quickly, very effectively, it turned out that we capable of anything, breakthrough technologies, breakthrough scientific research, in russia you notice this import substitution, here is the course that belarus and russia have taken together and common projects, there is an understanding of how we can be to each other... you know that as for import substitution, here this can be broken down into two components: at the household

level, and that we absolutely did not notice that something, someone has become worse there or in terms of food, by the way, about food , what is our dear belarus, in my opinion, is capable of feeding not only russia and china, as time now shows, this is true. not only the military-industrial complex, all of our enterprises are industrial, they have shown fantastic results, and today that’s all the technology.

noticeably, are considered today a union state? our strategic leaders, the president of the republic of belarus, alexander grigoryevich lukashenko, the president of the russian federation, vladimir vladimirovich putin, they show a true example of fraternal relations as leaders, an example of how to run a state and how to move towards rapprochement, and not at the expense of independence. not to the detriment of some very identical circumstances associated with

each country, and you know, we are very proud, here are the belarusians, here are the russians, we are generally happy people, belarusians and russia, why, because during the construction of the union state, i think that belarus and russia are the guards in building a union state, the 25th anniversary of the union state is coming soon, but what exactly is that? people, residents of the two countries get from this integration, what does it give us? union state, yes, indeed, next year we will celebrate, and i emphasize, celebrate, why? because this is still a holiday, a day of unity, of a union state. over these quarter of a century , of course, maybe i would like some issues to be resolved more intensively, of course, maybe i would like some structures to be more understandable, but at the same time, what over the past couple of years, especially these the notorious 28 road maps that were agreed upon, and you know, at the philistine

level, on the one hand, that’s what gave, well, maybe there’s no need to be super-merciful, although... i’ll give an example from today, here are my colleagues , members of the council for the affairs of belarusians abroad from other countries, they have a lot of questions, a lot of questions , how to come home, how to replace documents, what visas, what, moreover, some of my colleagues are in a very difficult situation related with pressure, which is exerted on them, in the countries where they now live. and you know, here we probably need to start from something else, when you come to belarus, any russian, by the way, now it’s new year’s eve, my friends who know me are now contacting me, listen, we can’t accommodate, i i say, just yet, well, recently, please, people left for warm

countries, all over europe, it turns out that belarus is not just a country for living, it is a country for relaxation, a country for... i know that now, well, my colleagues, rector very many universities in moscow, the russian federation, they are first-year students, this may not be entirely correct, but i entered the university right away and they are sending the first year. to belarus, the brest fortress, khatyn, for this vaccination, against nationalism, this vaccination against this dirt and muck that is being imposed on us. next year is special for belarus, the year of the eightieth anniversary of the country’s liberation from the nazi invaders, and then the anniversary of the great victory. recently , attempts have been made to rewrite our common

history, which today needs to be emphasized to the younger generation in order to preserve it. this reverent attitude towards the feat of the soviet people, towards our common great victory, it seems to me that the time for trying to rewrite history has passed, we have firmly seen the light at a very important stage, we have very clearly cleaned out all this dirt and abomination, as far as russia is concerned, russian federation, now all this freedom of opinion... it is gone, now there is a very clear position of the head of state, there is a very clear ideological paradigm, although what ideological paradigm, if there is a history that they really tried to rewrite , show, well, what kind of history is there, what are you talking about, no, we have the best history, the most correct history, a history that

gave birth and gives birth to patriots, you know , here is a small homeland, big love. it seems to me that belarus cannot be a small homeland, a homeland, it is always alone, it is always great , that’s why love is always unlimited, that’s why here, that’s what we are together now, that’s why we support each other friend in the most difficult times, this is our genetic cat, these are our spiritual bonds, they talk about it, so sublimely... somewhere in reality it is, it is tangible, it materializes, and as for the upbringing of the young generations , you know, this is already it, well, there is such an understanding that some generation is lost, there is still no lost generation, there are our guys, our girls, yes, somewhere

there is something, something, maybe we didn’t look enough in the first place, somewhere, well, it just happened. any parting words, why? because we always look forward to the new year, to the new stage in the life of society, of course, always with...
