time is forward, today many still remember the screensaver of the main news program of the once huge country of the soviet union. the suite written in the mid-sixties by composer georgy sviridov under the same name later became not only its symbol, but also its originality. brand of soviet television, it was with her that the evening program began, the time they were waiting for, from messages learned the latest news about the situation in the country and the world. it was back in 1971 that

a very important time was mentioned in the program. for the achievements in production activities, his team was awarded the order of the red banner of labor. the award of a high award brought an end to the most difficult and responsible period not only for the plant workers. belarus confidently declared itself as a major country. industrial region of the ussr, where gigant enterprises are successfully built. at one time, of course, a wonderful thing was accepted for belarus decision, build one oil refinery, build a second

oil refinery. there has always been good science, good economics, from the point of view, probably, of promoting new technologies, this is probably

a special, unique enterprise; in terms of the scale of its products, it has no equal either in the soviet union or in europe. about success. the first releases of the program, they were off-screen, we sat upstairs in the studio with

headphones and, without looking, read story after story, and the commands: faster, stop, continue, turn on, just watch the behind-the-scenes footage, this was the first release of the program at the time. but how... the construction of a fundamentally new oil refinery production began in the republic in 1958 was first reported by belarusian television: tv crews not only covered the construction of this plant, but also the development of this young city itself, from the moment the plant was created, from construction to launch.

drive six dump trucks here in the fall, i remember, i was given the task village of sloboda, for construction, to participate in construction, here we are along the road from polotsk, about 10 kilometers there, probably only, probably all night. we were driving, there was a swamp, we were skidding

, it was scary , we settled in thoroughly, we spent the night in cars, in the morning we were already dragged to the village of sloboda, belarusian television itself began from scratch, on january 1, 1956, tamara bastun, a well-known radio announcer in the republic, first addressed towards her...

the people were also somehow so optimistic, keep in mind that after such a war the country

being restored, factories, factories , everything was destroyed, it all had to be restored, then the message that on june 7, 1958 , arrived in the village of sloboda, not far from the city of polotsk, in the belarusian ssr, became important for the republic. the first builders, it was they who were to begin to implement ambitious plans to create the largest oil refinery in the ussr . about the republic of a new direction in industry, oil refinery workers were brought in by boats, there were tents, in one tent there was for the foreman, there others, i don’t remember the names of all of them, but there were four or five tents.

in the summer of 1958, for the residents of the small village of sloboda, which was located not far from polotsk, life changed dramatically. people arrived here every day and from all over the soviet union. the head of the construction department radioed polotsk, they were needed. additional building materials. right there at the next makeshift table was the personnel department, behind which the registration of new arrivals at the construction site was carried out. the committee is located in the farthest corner komsomol. for now it consisted of komsomol and his two assistants, but this did not

stop the work. particular attention to visual propaganda, ready-made posters calling on komsomol members to join... in the all-union construction project and a newspaper, the first issue of a future large circulation with the catchy name "banner of the new construction". it was then, years later, that the first tent monument would appear on this site in novopolotsk. at the same time, the first issue of the newspaper reported that august 6. in 1958, on the predvinsky wasteland, builders solemnly hammered in the first peg. exactly on in this place, construction of the first oil refinery in the republic will begin. late fifties, early sixties.

the soviet union was one big construction site. and it would seem to surprise her. the first victories were achieved through heroic labor, trains began to arrive with materials for construction, with equipment, and my task, as a senior engineer, was to organize unloading, this was the most difficult period of my life, and weekends, and holidays, and holidays all the time

i was on the base. to the installation sites, only at the first stage the design capacity of the future plant was supposed to be 6 million tons of oil per year, this is a gigantic enterprise of union importance, the management of which had to be sorted out , i was involved in assembling the equipment, this

equipment was the latest, i was at the ufa plant when we were studying, there were americans there.

large-scale construction, enthusiasm, youth, time looking towards the future. a time of plans, hopes and accomplishments. television changed along with the country. there wasn't much of a studio, this one here’s a big studio b, a small place, here is the program time, there we announce children’s programs, there are musical ones, well, that’s how it was. all programs created by the minsk television studio were broadcast live. there was no video recording then, all this was broadcast live. by the end

of the fifties, it was difficult to believe that back in the fifties it all began with a small room at communist 6, the first television studio of belarusian television. at the communist six in minsk, at the end of 1956, reigned, which had become familiar here bustle and creative atmosphere. all programs were broadcast live; every detail had to be taken care of. moreover, something new has appeared. and this is coming from the fields, from new buildings,

everything is very important and nothing can be confused. cameraman mikhail yuryevich was the most lamented. the studio is small, it could barely fit three people, the camera is huge, and also the only one and requires careful handling. rehearsed the appearance of announcers in the frame. there was a problem here to ensure that employees walked quietly around the room during the broadcast they were given slippers with felt soles. but the announcers in this form had to enter and exit the frame right in front of the audience. technically there was no other way. only thanks to the skill of the first operator of belarusian television, the slippers did not fall.

let’s say, or some kind of plant, ukraine and belarus, just honor, respect, these were our most important republics,

people really did the impossible, imagine, the main work on the site began on may 7, 1959, and already on december 9, 1962 the first one came into operation... 1963 was a landmark year. on february 9 , the bssr received its own gasoline for the first time in the history. belarus had its own domestic petrochemical industry. at the same time, another important event occurred: in december 1963, belarusian television announcers read out the text of the resolution of the presidium of the supreme council live.

and when i’m driving a car and see another house, another house, more, i have the most satisfaction now when i’m driving to the end of the city, i never could have thought that the city would be like this. literally in a few months after the novopolotsk refinery began supplying gasoline to consumers of the soviet union, the ussr council of ministers adopted another important resolution for the republic,

and the builder. in the city of the largest petrochemical plant in the west of the country, it would later become known for its products in the soviet union as polymir. during oil refining, a lot of oil refining waste is generated, which is flared. the polymer plant is precisely the production that consumes oil refining waste, these are low-actane all kinds of transitional gasolines and gases. the importance of commissioning such an enterprise is difficult to overestimate, the production of polyethylene is considered the birthday, polyethylene is a product that further moved the entire economy, but first of all it is the cable industry, many factories were required , this is packaging, this is agriculture, a new direction in industry bssr, new.

its application in the national economy is widespread. it would even seem that this is not at all typical for such a direction as fashion. well, let's say we produced modocrylic fiber. its first purpose is fur coats, this is what there was not enough clothing for, well, in the eighties we clothed this production, which made it possible to clothe the entire soviet union. polymir was becoming one of the largest complexes not only in the soviet union, but also

in europe. this is jsc naftan, respectively the oil refinery plant polymer, two enterprises employ about 12,000 people, a very wide range of products, including gasoline, diesel fuel, fuel oil, oils, elemental sulfur, polyethylene and many other products. fundamentally a new product, coke, which is obtained from the processing of fuel oil, one of the types of

environmentally friendly fuel. economical, which is so in demand in modern conditions. coke is a new fundamental product that is already being sold and used as fuel in power generating units in russia, china, and other countries. today, naftan products, as in the soviet period, are widely known in the world for their quality and advanced technologies. in the sixties, novopolotsk turned into a major industrial center of the ussr, a large industrial city, a hub in the north of the republic. thanks to television, the country recognized new heroes; journalists have always strived to do so.
