one of the most densely populated cities in the metropolitan region, people live here today. people, the fate of most of them is tightly connected with the belarus-potassium enterprise, which operates on the basis of one of the largest deposits of koliyna and rock salts in europe, 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.

there will be no mines or salt caves on the unusual side, don’t switch. the doors will open for us the only folk museum of the mother in belarus. we will make new year's decorations using a unique technique under the supervision of an experienced needlewoman. in the rovd museum we learn about rarities that, it would seem, can only be seen in soviet films. we will visit one of the oldest churches in our country, which is 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 to minibuses will be almost 1 hour 40 minutes, travel costs from 6 to 16 rubles. by car , you can get to the city of shakhtyoriv on the poslutsky highway in about an hour and a half, the distance from minsk to soligorsk is 130 km. dear friends, welcome to novostarobinsk. few people know, but this is what the city of soligorsk was once called. now the only reminder of this is the inscription on this stone, 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.

one day he realized that people could defeat him, so he gathered some loot and hid with her underground. as the years passed, the wizard disappeared, and as the years passed, the wizard naturally weakened and turned into a red stone, and famine came on the earth. people suffered greatly from hunger and shed a lot of salty tears, and these salty tears turned into a huge salty sea. naturally, in every fairy tale. there is some truth, once upon a time in the upper devonian period a huge salt sea grew here on the territory of modern palysya, and there lived such large creatures that have a very interesting name : scorpion-crayfish, despite their name, they have nothing to do with modern land scorpions or crayfish, 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 same. starob appeared

in the documents for only about a year. in 1959 , the town turned into the working village of soligorsk, which was initially calculated from strength for 12,000 people. the first labor detachment arrived in the south of the minsk region, consisting of 300. every day there were more people, since all-union construction was announced. so over time, the village turned into a clean , cozy town under the well-known name salegu. 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. it symbolizes, as it were,

the discoverer of local subsoil. really, this monument was erected in 1977 and 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 stone in metal. the 5 m high sculpture was built in august 1977 in honor of the soligorsk miners who were pioneers of the mining industry. our country, worn hands represent strength and health, wings are associated with a gust of wind, behind all this is the strong character of the person 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, the spirit is still we managed to preserve it from that time; this can be felt especially well on leninsk street. it was here that the first administrative centers and socially significant buildings of the city appeared, a school, a store, a kindergarten, the walls still remember their builders, and people still remember the history that is forever inscribed in the annals of soligorsk. how does life go for foreigners?

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 the amazing women of the saligorsk region who are for their own. many years of work have been recognized with state awards. perhaps one of the most touching places in the museum is the corner dedicated to childhood and motherhood. this is where you can get to know the original belarusians better. traditions and feel all the warmth and sincerity of all the mothers of the salegorsk region. probably there are no peaks which a woman would not conquer. and it is very important that a woman is not only the keeper of the family hearth, home comfort, she created a family, but it is also very important that she was able to achieve something in her own. profession, such heights in the profession, here, as you see, women
