despite the distance, i think that there are many things in common between our countries, but i think that the main thing is the value of patriotism, here there is such patriotism, just like we have in venezuela, and this is what makes me feel i feel comfortable here in belarus, because despite the fact that it is a different country, i feel as if i am living, but the first thing that unites us, our peoples, i would say, is a worldview in any case.

do not know the smoke of spring, the rain will be clear, only this will never be an hour, it will be eternal zhytsya, as i live, bright words in my native language, monthly expressing on the grass, and yat zhytstse not great sand, you, where the pain is, there is joy, there is a song. budze song irojime zhyts.

for the audience, we choose the best routes , where it is better to appreciate the existing ones and be proud of them, because there is no second such lead in any european country, and we set off on an exciting journey, products created by local craftsmen were in great demand throughout europe, ivan the terrible himself did not resisted bykhov's guns, in fact gedemina had seven daughters, but none of them was called lida. note that jogaila is only getting younger with time, although... at the time

of the marriage he was 71 years old, if the castle was captured, or there was a traitor who opened the gates, or in some peaceful way, to show how unusually wonderful... our a country. bykhovsky district is one of the richest in treasures in belarus. 32, and these are only officially registered. there are even antique ones. the first icon of queen rosaria was brought by the franciscans in the 14th century, but it died in a fire. this is an image from the 18th century. watch the program "cities of belarus" on the belarus 24 tv channel

. hello, you are watching the program "tell me not to be silent." in the studio svetlana smolonskaya and tatyana shcherbina. and today our guest is philosopher, publicist and political scientist alexey dermont. hello, alexey. hello. hello, alexey, i am glad to welcome you again to ours. studio, every meeting always gives us an interesting conversation, i think the conversation this time will also be fascinating, we will start with the following topic, which, in general, is probably the most relevant for our country at the moment, less than a month remains until the single voting day in belarus on february 25, ahead

of us are elections to the house of representatives, local councils of deputies, then elections of the council of the republic and delegates will follow all-belarusian people's assembly, but a year later, next year we will. including at our borders, this is the ukrainian crisis, it is not over yet and is unlikely to end in the near future, so we need to keep our finger on the pulse to ensure that it did not spread to neighboring territories, so you need to have a strong state , strong power in the state in order

to do this, secondly, well, it is obvious that over the years a new generation of politicians will come everywhere, in russia, here, that is... well, this those who will determine the future of the country already there in 10-15 years, accordingly, it depends on us who will come, some people, we need to choose those who will really be able to lead the country on a normal course in the future, continuing what has been done before, therefore, this period of transformation, it is the most dangerous, there is the most vulnerability , there is the most unpredictability and uncertainty, so you need to well... very carefully monitor what is happening, and choose those leaders, yes, who really have knowledge, who are truly patriots of their countries, so that we don’t end

up losing the country, on the contrary, we develop what we love it for, but how do you understand who is a patriot, who is not, who may simply be imitating a patriot, is not the question... simple, usually everything is verified by actions , because you can say a lot of beautiful things, you need to look, if a person is applying for a leadership position, somewhere, especially in the leadership of the country, what really stands behind him, what he has done, what he has achieved and how this relates to in his words , if there is a correlation, the results are positive, then this person is worthy...

it is clear that we uncovered the tip of the iceberg, raised those who were in plain sight, but in order, relatively speaking, not to lose the control determined by our enemies, there are bookmarks, or sleepers that do not manifest themselves in any way, their task, of course, is to infiltrate just inside the system in order to wait for the time being, gain weight there, well, again, you need to keep an eye on things if some kind of problem begins then the game is with the fact that we will begin to somehow revise the course, some of our foreign policy guidelines so radically, even not radically.

it’s an absolutely artificial division to immediately emphasize that this one is ours, only he

’s waiting for now, yeah, but these completely marginalized people are terrible there, they want belarus destroy, although, in fact, who gave you the right to distribute these assessments, they distribute them in order, so to speak, to influence the agenda, on these people, well, who among the politicians would not be pleased if even these people praise , well, yes... we should expect to be wary of provocations, what to pay attention to and where to be

vigilant, as the head of state said, but this concerns more threats in the security sphere, first of all, to prevent any sabotage acts of terrorism, to unfortunately we see that the enemy has already begun this activity, there were attempts, but the election period, this is again a moment of vulnerability and... will try to introduce a moment of some kind of psychological panic, terror is usually aimed at this, so that people will be horrified and think that the government is incapable, some kind of then, well, relatively speaking, the seething within the country, well, that is, compared to the twentieth year, they tried some methods, they did not work, now they will be tougher, tougher attempts to penetrate across the border.

i am not optimistic about the elections in the usa, in the european union, and there in the eu the trend will probably become more powerful.

plus again trump will try to force europe to fulfill american conditions there, there is no confusion in their relations, yes, maybe there will be some kind of pause for us, beneficial, yes, when they are among themselves, but in general i don’t see a reason for a big one yet optimism , that is, the transformation is happening, it’s going quite slowly, painfully, and this will

continue to happen for a long time, unfortunately, we should hope that in russia you...

we don’t yet see that this is succeeding, but such assumptions, i think, western analysts are betting on this, believing that this is a weak link, uh, well, apparently, they have some grounds, probably not everything is going smoothly there, russia is really large, multinational, there are certain

contradictions that still exist time, but it seems to me that they will still miscalculate here. and the russian people, all the many national people will still demonstrate unity and the fact that for them russia is their homeland, their native country, it is unlikely that they will be able to collapse precisely on national grounds, and that in the ranks members of the northern military district, multinational, that ’s right, this, well, this happened during the great patriotic war, now we are also seeing this, this is really the highest indicator that this unity really exists. russia, alexey, you said that in the near future we and russia should expect new faces, new personalities to appear in politics. you deliberately did not say anything about western politicians, because the trend is predictable - it will still be the washington regional committee, new personalities, politicians will also appear there, the question is their quality, for me, an indicator

of the degradation of western elites is the french elites, and the german ones too. well, macron is all khevra, which is around him, yes, are these people comparable to general degol? or with shirak, even. it’s the same in germany, here are scholtz kohl, scholtz adenauer, willy brant, yes, who launched germany’s détente there with the eastern bloc, well, there’s no comparison. yes, they will have some young cute boys or girls appear, but no...

let it be better if some trump, he

at least there, yes, he is a rebel, but within the framework, yes, so they will, well, relatively speaking, try to direct all social energy in the direction they need, so that no real changes happen, that is, so that they do not lose power, well, if you remember the years of government. trump , in fact, yes, he tried to do something, but they have the whole system built in such a way that they simply did not even allow him to push through his initiatives, they blocked him at various levels, and he, in fact, seems to be the president, but the real he didn’t have power, so now it will be the same, i am absolutely sure that he will face opposition, real changes will really come when a new generation of politicians comes after trump, after biden, those are the ones who will be there. ..

somehow realized his destiny in a different way, but the fact that the establishment does not accept him is an indicator, yes, although he has potential for growth, but, in my opinion, he

is unlikely to run as an independent candidate they’ll let it get promoted, but nevertheless, it’s available in the states there were and are such politicians, well, the question is, when will they gain a critical mass of support, when will the people really say, no, these don’t suit us, and these, let’s do something new, for now for this... you need to understand , which is understandable, behind such leaders in the western system someone must necessarily appear influential, until the group understands that this is the policy.

of course for the whole world, yeah, but for now the advice for kennedy is this: if you want to build up a critical mass, look for funding, and for now we’ll take a short break, i remind you telegram channel, don’t be silent, subscribe, ask questions and suggest us new interesting guests, we are in touch! this is the program

“say don’t be silent” again, and today our guest is the philosopher, publicist, political scientist, alexey dermant. recently, alexander shpakovsky published his forecast in his telegram channel: if everything goes according to their plan, meaning the west, then i give 90% against 10 that a clash with nato in the period of the 25-thirties is inevitable, including for belarus. agree with alexander pavlovich and what do you think? now the likelihood is that...

tensions in the pacific region. unfortunately it is so. plus, let’s look at the statement, just in the last few weeks, almost all nato officials, western politicians, are saying that we need to prepare, they name different dates from several years, up to fifty, for a clash with russia. and it is clear that this does not happen just like that. they are starting to prepare public opinion.

is already at our border, so unfortunately, yes, we can hope that this will not happen, but all the signs point to that they are making this preparation, yeah, we can try to prevent this by taking steps so that they see, it will be fraught, first of all, for them, we are deploying nuclear weapons at our place, we are preparing so that they don’t have an illusion , that...

the arctic to the north atlantic, that is, the west accuses russia of aggression, although even last wednesday sergei lavrov said that russia never intended, is not going and will not be planning to attack,

they do not hear him, they do not want to hear, his voice is drowned out, that is, it is clear that his opinion, except for our territory, no one will hear, but such rhetoric was heard and , well, let’s say, 80-odd years ago it’s not like... that ukraine has really turned into a threat to the security of russia, because ukraine is not germany, not france , not denmark , not even poland, this is the closest country to russia, territorially, ethnically, culturally, and there the presence of nato there, well, threatens

its own people there, so to speak, presence on this territory, i’m not even talking about the missiles that are flying there , so russia could not allow, especially since there has been a bloody conflict going on there for already... how many years with the physical destruction of the russian-speaking population, the russian population, ukraine was and remains a threat, so the reasons for, say, a special military operation are clear, why poland and germany are absolutely unclear, and i don’t i see reasons, especially in the rest of europe, yes, that what could really happen, especially in our region, is when nato implements its plan to turn the baltic sea into an internal nato sea. will try to block kaliningradskaya region, but according to all military science , this is a reason for war, if someone blocks transport links with the enclave, interferes with this, then this is a real belli incident, and they can try

to do this, provoke russia, then say, here it is aggressively making its way to their enclave, and this may affect us, unfortunately, but then we will all understand who is to blame for this? why is it necessary to blockade the kaliningrad region and what might be realistic is when russia still achieves certain successes in ukraine, they may try to take control of part of it, the western one or maybe some smaller one, here a clash between russia and those nato countries that will be on this territory of ukraine is possible, but meanwhile just a week ago.

hegemon, so to speak, now in the world there is generally some kind of platform on which you can at least besiege such an exploded comrade, but if we talk about some kind of common platform like... according to the theory, probably not, but a counterweight may appear in in the form of other organizations or blocs, yes, yes, as long as the sco is not exactly a counterbalance, but... now there is an alliance of, say, russia, china, iran, yes, this is already a kind of counterbalance that can stop the excesses of the americans, in any case, they will not be able to act so freely, they no longer act, because these houthis in yemen, yes, they are good guys, brave, but without iran they would hardly have had missile weapons, which is why the americans will be forced to take into account these new alliances, and accordingly.

while the scales are not tipping in one direction, but china is consistently, systematically is achieving some success, this is evident. well, let’s return to our region again, last week the kiev regime committed a blow absolutely terrifying in its cynicism, a russian plane was shot down in the ssu, in which ukrainian prisoners of war were transported, they were supposed to be exchanged for russian ones, here is one of the opinions, i read the crisis... foreign aid , a total failure at the front turns a gang

of drug addicts and neo-nazis into bloody maniacs who are ready to kill even their own fellow citizens to achieve internal political goals goals, this is agony, in your opinion, is this really the agony of the kiev regime? well, this suggests that the crisis is serious within the top, and well, firstly, this is confirmation that this is, unfortunately, the ukrainian style of late, when the massacre was shot down. over the donbass, when they hit this prison, where prisoners were also kept in yelenovka, that is, we see that there is a recognizable handwriting, why is this being done, yes, there is probably some kind of internal struggle, perhaps the americans needed to disrupt these contacts that were going on via exchange line prisoners of war, perhaps some group in kiev does not want this, yes, but i would not say that this is fire.

in order to support the economy of his state

and protect it, he also added that for one military man paid by the state, ukraine, there are six, eight taxpayers. the call to return to ukraine to defend your country is correct, this is the speech of a real patriot president, but there is one thing: if it were not zelensky who said this, now i will explain to you why: you are wonderful. remember that zelensky received four times subpoenas from the ministry of defense ignored them. here is the official response from the ministry of defense of ukraine. but it’s much more cynical when zelensky calls for paying taxes. in 2014, when the war began, zelensky himself did not pay taxes. moreover, he siphoned millions from our country’s budget. discontent is growing.

this is for now, if we are talking about, well, about some time periods, it depends, of course, on what kind of support the west will have, whether they will pump in money, we see that fatigue is growing, there is less money, there are fewer weapons, but we see that more and more

ukrainian military personnel are surrendering into captivity, the quality of those mobilized is falling, that is, a turning point may come within a year or a year and a half, we remember. the participation of elites may again be the reason for discontent in ukraine, but it seems to me that while they have the support of the west, the americans hinted, gently, it was clear, maybe not only gently, but apparently they managed to convince that there is no point in insisting on this in the elections ,

so i think he will hold on to power, well, this year for sure, or maybe just the west has no other candidate, they just haven’t chosen it yet.

that is, he can no longer get rid of this addiction, he rejoices in it, and he probably already sees advantages in it, his some kind of mission, in that he lured the west into this conflict, but we know that the drug addict is either they treat him harshly, yes, or he dies in the end , something similar will happen to him, most likely, he himself believes in what he says

in public, i think, of course, he has different information, understands that what what he says is what he says. propaganda is radically different, but he, like a drug addict, cannot jump off this information needle, otherwise everything will collapse, including himself. and now we will take a short break, after a short pause we will return to this studio again, for now subscribe to our telegram channel, say, don’t be silent, look for all our episodes on the belarus1 youtube channel. the program “say don’t be silent” is on air again, our guest is the philosopher, publicist and political scientist, alexey dermont. alexey, just recently, just a few days ago, this news appeared: the deputy speaker of the slovak parliament, promised to stop the spread of russophobia in the republic, and at the same time, according to him,

now the east is an important partner for the country; in his opinion, it represents the future of the world economy. brix countries , in which russia and china set the tone, but a very unexpected statement, is it really possible that someone from western countries, although slovakia is still more eastern europe, and eastern slavic, suddenly someone declares a turn to the east? well, here, i think, it ’s not a matter of some ideological beliefs, he, as a pragmatist, understands that this is really so, the center of economic development is shifting there, they, being in the western bloc, understand that without cooperation they will... sag, which is already happening due to sanctions, because of the war in ukraine, so he sends signals that yes, we, of course, are still members of nato and the eu, but it would still be nice. not to curtail cooperation, but to continue, if possible, from the point of view of the national interests of a small country -

this is a pragmatic, understandable, natural position, but the main thing is that these words, again, do not diverge from deeds, so that this cooperation began, and slovakia began to emerge from the sanctions regime in relation to eastern countries, to russia and china, to belarus. well, considering that when robert fitzo came to power, everyone hoped that here he was with his rhetoric.

did it differently, yes, although, well, i think he is sincere in his beliefs in certain words, he just can’t do things that correspond to the words. alexey, explain to us this question in the final part: russia is eurasia, and we, belarus, are europe, or is it more eurasia? well, let's start with this that europe is also eurasia, western. the finitude of eurasia , it’s just that it’s used to thinking that it’s exceptional, and they ’ve come up with this myth since ancient greek

times that there’s a certain special culture-civilization, and those to the east are tyranny, barbarians, uh, those, who needs to be somehow taught, educated, brought, brought to the standards of democracy, this does not allow me to speak. agree with europeanism, because this exclusivity is harmful, plus, if we see a real map, well, some borders in eurasia, in fact, there are none, that is, these borders exist in our heads, the question is, who do these borders serve? now, if they consider themselves an exclusive part of eurasia, the europeans are separating somehow, it means they want to dominate, and those whom they...

this ideology of europeanism, it works for our opponents, it gives us nothing, so when we can calling ourselves a eurasian country is natural, because we are integrating with russia, we are going to join the sco, we have a natural eastern orientation, we get benefits from there, plus euroasianism does not deny the european part, there is the first part of the euro, and maybe there...

western europe is far from what it was in the seventies and sixties. secondly, technologies are developing not only there, and we get development not only from there, but let’s say, in china in the pacific region, we see examples of development when they preserve themselves, take something from the west, develop it, they've remade it for themselves and are developing beautifully, so

... we'll like it, in general, we're not going there we strive, because we have enough wisdom, to be ourselves and be in our place, and not try to become someone else. in europe, we would be turned into a dead end, into a periphery into a dead end , which is what the baltic states are now turning into, and poland wants to become the front line, yeah, here we are, we, in principle, always wanted to be a bridge,

but now our task is simply to protect our borders. but we are always open when something changes in their politics, of course we will be ready to cooperate, but we will not give up our identity from ourselves, we will not accept them, but just remain yourself, we can be neighbors, we can be friends, but this is our choice, thank you, alexey, as always it was fiery, we discussed many topics, received simple answers to sometimes complex questions, but let’s hope , that... only those positive and positive forecasts that you gave us today will come true, but at the same time we will be vigilant, success to you and in the future we will invite you again and again with you it is always very interesting. tatyana shcherbina, svetlana smolonskaya, we say goodbye to you until the next one broadcast, goodbye, goodbye, alexey dermant is speaking now. i think the future

is optimistic, despite the difficult times, because we have... there is this horizon, this large space, this space, this development of life, and belarusians can find their place in everything. alexey, according to established tradition, i will ask you to leave your autograph and some wishes. i wish you not to remain silent, but to think and speak. and do it.

we will tell you about important circus events. the church is gradually preparing us through prayerful liturgical services to meet this holiday, so this day is mainly dedicated to remembering the events associated with the birth of christ. we will introduce you to ancient relics and miraculous icons. she occupies such a special place of honor in the center of the temple, not far from the altar. people always resort to this image with their prayers.

the thickness of the walls of this temple is 1 m 25 cm, what beauty, what power, what strength, as they say, there was a time to scatter stones, a time to collect them. watch spiritual and educational projects on the belarus 24 tv channel. adventures foreigners in belarus. and my name is evgenia. evgenia, it’s very nice to meet you. well, for me, i prefer it, if you boil it, i like lily, and it also differs in taste, in taste, they differ in taste, more for

frying, probably for baking, this is queen anne, a guy from ecuador, has lived here for 8 years travels through our towns and villages, i would also like to see a lot, yes, what’s the problem, no, not a problem yet, while i’m still young, and this isn’t a sport? belarusian winter, all its little things, all the details,

some are so beautiful that they take your breath away, some are awkward, but together they are one . together, they are harmony, looking at them, you feel aesthetic pleasure, you feel that belarus is closer.
