the song of iradzima remains , maybe everything will change, the trees are not falling, you won’t know the smoke of spring, the forest is clear, only this will never be an hour, life will be eternal, as it is, bright folk words, a monthly cycle on the grass, and live without greatness . the sand is yours, the pain of the pain is great, there is joy, there is a song, there is a song, and there is a life.

hello everyone, my name is sofia verman, i am from estonia, from the city of tallinn, now i live and study in belarus. i came from estonia, from the city of tallinn, and ended up in belarus due to the fact that i came here to study, they decided at the family council, they put together a big table, they decided, grandmother, grandfather, mother, father, sister, and decided that i would come to study in belarus after all. i probably don’t even remember my first impressions in belarus, since i came here. since childhood, since my father

is belarusian, and we came here every summer with my parents to visit my grandparents, but since we always ended up and came to minsk, i remember these scales, these roads, these beautiful stalinka streets, which were built architectural monuments that are located in minsk, and i always came here with some kind of emotion, i was always looking forward to this trip to minsk, and somehow it happened that until now, even though... i i already live here every time, i always smile and think how beautiful minsk is. tallinn is like a small gingerbread house; if you come to tallinn, you can see a lot of historical monuments that have still been preserved from the 13th and 14th centuries. in minsk, of course, there is no such thing, but minsk has some of its own special buildings, some of its own special architectural monuments, that is, in principle, despite the fact that they are located. and minsk is not very far away, but they

are somehow very different, minsk takes you by its scale, and tallinn takes you by its compactness, modesty and some kind of fabulousness. the stereotypes that i encountered when i moved to belarus are that there are a lot of potatoes here, in fact, i would say that maybe this is true, because before that, somehow i didn’t think about it , how much potatoes do i eat, when i buy them, now for the fourth year in a row, as a standard , i have a large package or sack of potatoes on my horse, all because friends go somewhere to the dacha to visit their parents, grandparents, potatoes are planted there, they then dig it all up and bring it to me, adult life, it is actually very different from teenage life, you should already be more independent, now of course i work myself, do some shopping for myself, pay rent, but first the first year, when i just entered, when i haven’t worked yet... it was very hard, because

that you are constantly in contact with your parents, even this year, when i entered my first year of study, corona began, you couldn’t go anywhere, or drive in, or go home, we were sitting here studying, and somehow it turned out that probably , this is just wednesday, this is the fact that i lived alone, the fact that covid, it probably made me stronger, and well, i’m already used to it, because in... i have been coming to the city of minsk since childhood, for me some of the most dear places are chelyuskintsev park and the oktyabr cinema, where we have been since childhood we went all the time with our parents, with our grandparents, but over the last year, since i now live in minsk-mir, the horse park has become very dear to me, since it is very, very close within walking distance, even in summer when it’s very hot and warm, you can take a bike, ride to the horse park , drive through all these beautiful... look

at all this beauty, you can sit on the benches, relax, eat ice cream, and i think that in fact during all this time minsk became my second home. city ​​when i studied at school, in 2017 my talin humanitarian gymnasium signed a joint agreement, as if for friendship, between the fourth gymnasium of the city of minsk, and it so happened that we went on an exchange, then they came to visit us, then we visited them, and it so happened that in the tenth...

i really understand that i am aware of what they are saying, and i understand everything. we arrived at my favorite belarusian state medical university, where i am

already in my fourth year of study at the faculty of medicine for foreign students in general medicine. i i decided to go to medical school, since my first education was that my mother was a doctor. and also in fact, in estonia, doctors are a great prestige, they are very respected here, just like teachers, initially, i probably thought about where to go, and somehow it turned out that when my animal got sick, i i realized that i probably want to become a doctor, but since i’m afraid to torture animals and i’m afraid to hurt them, since they , just like children, probably cannot say what hurts them, where it hurts, so i decided to go to medical faculty when i came to study in belarus. the first thing, of course, all teachers at all departments ask: what will you do next, how will you confirm your diploma, isn’t it necessary to confirm it? i say: no, there will be no problems at all, since we simply take state exams and retake them in the language of the country in which you will work. they are immediately like:

why belarus? what for? and i say, my family and i decided so, that’s why i came here. and all the teachers treat me very well, any moment. ready to help if something doesn’t work out, if there is something, of course, there are some misunderstandings, since i studied in estonian, and there is something that i may not understand in russian, or it will be up to me there it takes longer to reach than any, well, other students who studied there in belarus in russia, but at the same time the teachers, somehow other students are ready to help, it has never happened, why is it so slow, why can’t you keep up with others there, this has never happened, well, since i’m more about... again, applying there is even elementary some kind of scalpel, well, something like that, then to assist in childbirth during surgery, to support there, i prefer to do something

with my hands, of course, it’s clear that practitioners also think the same way as theorists, but at the same time i always , since i studied design in london and we did everything there by hand, i somehow like it better. i do everything with my hands, which is probably why i chose this direction; now my plans are to enroll in microsurgery residency after university and become a microsurgeon. at the university we have quite huge the advantages are that we can come to the anatomy department and understand everything as it actually is on a person, since we have drugs there, we can see specifically how the veins run, how the arteries run, how any bones are positioned. in fact, not in many universities and in many universities around the world , drugs are unfortunately prohibited today, since these are, well, living people, and a lot of what is shown on special

large tablet tables like this, by the way, we also have it at the university, then there we are we can, again , come into the office at any moment, open this large tablet, see... rotate the person on this tablet, and see everything we want there, from my point of view, this is really important, because we we must really understand how... our body is created, understand where it comes from, where it goes, because most often it happens that it’s clear that everyone has norms drawn in textbooks, but not everyone, not all people, because in textbooks, that is, this artery is drawn, for example, in textbook, but for a person it can go something like this, or we are not all the same, we don’t all weigh 50 kg and are 70 meters tall, we are all, some are 50 meters, some are 80 meters, some -someone more, that’s why we are probably given such opportunities. i believe that my expectations were fully

justified in terms of the fact that i came here to study, in terms of the fact that i still live here, since the clinical base and theoretical base are simply huge, the teaching staff is simply wonderful, this is really very important for the future doctor we are now in the adrenaline gym, where i go every day to exercise, because in my free time from medicine i need to find some hobbies, and besides this i still need to do something to keep myself in shape, to lead a healthy lifestyle, that's why i work out in this club. i have had a love for sports since childhood, i played tennis and fencing

professionally, but probably the most important motivation was that i always loved participating in beauty contests, i worked model in order to keep myself in shape at that time, i had always been involved in professional sports, the last competition in which i participated was international miss europe in 2018, where i represented belarus from the belarusian diaspora, by the way, this is from... this this was the last competition that i won, and after that, after moving to belarus, i somehow abandoned sports, since there were no projects, i stopped working as a model, well, now i’m preparing for a new project, which will be in may , that's why i decided to go back to playing sports, i actually got into motoring in 2004, when i was 3 years old, at that time we were just walking around the shopping center with my parents and recruiting little girls for some kind of show. there was just going to be a show in an hour, and they decided to take me, they prepared us there in an hour, then we showed

some headdresses there, something like that, then i liked it so much that i decided to ask my mother, so mom, let's send me, and somehow she sent me first to modeling school, and i went to a modeling school as a child and also participated in many beauty contests, one of the main titles that i received was princess of estonia in 2008, and after which the next most important title was princess of the baltics in 2013, then after that i already left the modeling school, went to study, or rather went to work in a modeling agency, and well, by coincidence, when i left the modeling agency, i started six months before, i prepared for the international miss europe competition, so international miss europe i won 2018. when i moved to belarus , i simply had other plans; i entered medical school. initially it took me a lot of time, since it was difficult to fit into this environment, but

since now i have very ambitious plans for a very large project, i work here every day, that is, i actually spend a lot of time here, i see that in belarus excellent conditions have been created for playing sports, even at our university, at any time, despite the fact that that we have physical education on the schedule, at any time during the week we can... go to the gym, we have such a large dome near the university, on the ground floor we have a gym there, where we can safely go at any time, also in kindergartens , conditions are created for children with some small exercise equipment, even some basic treadmills, that is, in addition to the fact that they have a large huge gym, plus the fact that parents strive to ensure that their children are always healthy so that the children do not sick, so that children have a healthy image, well , strive for... i also see that in belarus

there is a huge plus for those who, for example, work, let you be 40 years old, 50 years old, for example, i have friends who they just go to an amateur hockey club , and then they have some kind of amateur competitions and games, and it’s incredibly cool that this even exists. i am sure, sofia, that everything will work out well with you, we will achieve the result that we are going to. thank you very much, sergey, for the training. to your health. 100 brave guys gathered in our studio. igor alexandrovich, why do you think the children chose you to talk to? first of all, if the children chose, it means they saw me on tv quite often. well, the second thing is that children always

like large dimensions. and each of them has a question for an adult. i'm ready, then let's begin. what happens if you turn off your phone for the whole day? the hero of the program will have to open up to the audience. the main task is to honestly answer all original, and sometimes awkward questions. well you you understand that children can sometimes ask very uncomfortable questions. this is great. i love awkward questions. do you promise to tell only the truth? shoes and could you tell me how to walk in heels correctly? the very first thing that can cause you to fall is when your socks start to braid one after another, watch the project 100 questions for adults on the belarus 24 tv channel

. aitäh kõikidele! nägemiseni! krömmet that i am studying medicine, i go in for sports, i have another hobby. initially it was like a hobby, now it's like a mini-project such as work, this is a school of estonian language and culture, and which initially grew out of

the estonian language circle, which, it turns out, was at the fourth gymnasium of the city of minsk. originally a school. itself was an estonian language club and it was based on the fourth gymnasium, that is, we met with the children on saturdays for an hour just to learn the estonian language, and somehow it turned out that it all grew into some kind of big project, but in general, when i moved here, i already had an incipient an idea that i eventually developed like this, because in fact, i love my culture very much, i love... my language very much, and of course, i want as many people as possible to know our culture and language , despite the fact that we have such a small country, the idea itself probably came from the fact that my mother is the director of a cultural society in estonia, and somehow it turned out that i am here, we also have such a small society,

called onos, which is translated from spanish as petal, and it is also based on the basis my... school of estonian language and culture. in fact, this project is a great opportunity for all the kids who study here, and who are from estonia themselves, to be together, speak their native language, celebrate some holidays together, because we make different holidays based on our , well, on the basis of our school and society, such as the week of the estonian language in minsk, the week of our culture, our national holidays, we... celebrate together, now we have about 100 students in our school, based the school is only in minsk, but there are plans, and of course, i would really like for these plans to come true, to open some small branches in regional cities, so that children from other cities can also take part in our projects , but

to learn something new about estonia and learn the estonian language, i was born in a family where... my mother, diana, has her first education, her first education is medical, that’s probably why i somehow decided to go to medicine, her second education is management in business, which is basically what she is working on now, and my mother is involved in big major events, such as, well , the upcoming, the nearest event will be a big ball in tallinn and immediately following it is the baltprix international festival on the ship tallinn stockholm. estonia, and sweden will come, and israel, and belarus will come, well, as it were, many, many countries dad. my name is ivan, and he himself is from belarus, that’s why i’m somehow so closely connected with belarus, he’s a civil engineer, now he works, sort of, well, he flies constantly to

some business trips, to sweden, to finland, in estonia he works at home, i also have a younger sister, her name is camilla, we have a difference of 2.9, so we have always been very friendly, as in principle , like best friends, we call each other every day, correspond every day , share something, consult at... it’s one o’clock in the morning , she can write to me: sofia, urgently, i wake up there, call her, say, what’s wrong? she graduated from twelfth grade this year and received a gold medal, just like me. grant for training at the belarusian state medical university at the faculty of dentistry. starting next year, my sister will study with me, we will live together, and finally our dog will move in with me, so the three of us will live together, i am our little sister lucy. verman lucimir, by the way, her name is, so i’m actually very glad that she will come to me and we will be like this, and she is a doctor, i am a doctor, we will have

such a family of doctors, since my family comes here very often , then we like to spend time together somehow, every time, when my parents come, we, of course, are all family, since i love ballet very much, in principle, our whole family loves to go to the ballet, we always buy tickets to the big theater and go. ballet is a must, and of course , how can you not visit a restaurant serving belarusian cuisine, it is a must, potato pancakes, mochanka, all sorts of such dishes, i don’t know how life will turn out next, of course, we’ll see, since i ’ll only finish my studies at the university after 8 years, but belarusians for me are very open-hearted, very friendly and very responsive people who are always ready to help... in fact, i can say that belarus has become for me some kind of piece in life, without which i can’t even live, i want to come here every time come back again
