it all started from very early childhood, and i didn’t have to choose an instrument, i didn’t have a choice that would torment me, maybe it was a piano, or maybe a violin, or maybe something else.

i have had an accordion at home all my life, because my dad is self-taught, he played the accordion, and from early childhood i knew very well what kind of instrument it was, what its specifics were and in general how it sounds, what its weight was, everything its characteristics, so it was no longer i who became acquainted with this instrument, but he, probably, with me very early stage of my life, my dad really wanted me to study music , all the time he somehow pushed me to go enroll in a music school, and since i grew up in this music all my life , i had a musical childhood, i really didn’t want to at first , i was not interested in music, i was already fed up with everything, so to speak, since childhood it was all this, i knew very well what kind of weddings there used to be, what songs there were, all this, so that was enough for me, especially... no, no , and then

i, it probably had to happen that i i was probably ripe for this, emotionally, morally, physically, i went to music school late, in the seventh grade, that is, this is already quite the age of 11-12 years, but i understood perfectly well that if i already signed up there, it would be at least the music school is definitely finished, before completing my studies there, by the way, i didn’t... finish the music school, why? because after the tenth grade i entered immediately the lithuanian state college of music, and there i continued my studies, already more professionally, the specifics of playing the accordion, i already began to study there, while studying at a music college, i was invited to

an orchestra of russian folk instruments, where such a more expanded specificity was music making, collective music playing, and there, by the way, i did not play the accordion, on domra. so i had to learn a new instrument completely from scratch, this was of course also a kind of shock for me, but now i can say with confidence that i have mastered another instrument. some of the very first most striking performances were, of course, with an orchestra and they were abroad. it was spain, it was belgium, bulgaria, this, of course, was one of the brightest. but now, if we move on to my individual career activities, the twenty-second year was so much more eventful, because there were three big solo concerts, they were in ivye, they were in grodno at the music college, that’s right here at the eronyon house of culture, my performances,

they, of course, relate to almost every event, every such large-scale regional event is a local event, it usually often... can’t be done without me, when i choose my own repertoire, a new one, some compositions for it, it all depends on the number, from the idea of ​​the act , what it will be like, because i don’t have music, a specific genre to perform, i can picture in my head, for example, classical music, how to present it, or the same folk music, but of course, mostly ... they know me for such folk motifs, folk numbers, folk songs, but i don’t like one direction in any one, so , let’s say, that’s all, pay my attention, but i try to diversify the repertoire more, in my numbers there are different directions,

of course, but the majority are, yes, folk, modern arrangement, i myself wrote music before, now that i pay more attention to my career... concert activities, then , unfortunately, there is no time for this, but before i mainly had and still have songs for the children of the choir department , that is, it is not instrumental, interestingly, music, this is not for the accordion, this is more for students of choir classes, what the stage costume will be like and what it will look like in general, the idea: it’s just born sometimes from the head, sometimes you hear the music and immediately understand what it should be like a suit, everything right away, my good friend helps in this regard, once a group member from the university, yulia, she is like that, she

embodies all my ideas, ideas from my head into reality, and what i’m wearing is most of the suits , this is her work, of course, what kind of ornaments there will be, that’s more, of course. she understands, as an expert in this, but all the costumes are invented, and so almost on the fly, each costume has its own peculiarity, somewhere these are national ornaments, somewhere these are ornaments specifically of our grodno region, as for wines or kokoshniks, yes, as anyone understands what they call them, it’s the same thing, there are flowers that are typical for our region, the grodno region, and there are ribbons, this is more like this...

where there are such golden petals, we created this wreath in the fall under such an autumnal romantic mood, and when spring and summer come, we add them, we want more bright colors. fresh, yes, these are more green, white, and light colors. my teaching career began directly after graduating from music college, and of course, there was a mandatory period of service, that’s when i came to my first job as a teacher and worked for 5 years, during these 5 years i had students, three of them entered the music college , the same one where i studied, already, here is one student, she, so to speak , is my colleague, she returned to the same school where i once started, and is also already

a teacher in the bayan class, although she, with regards to teaching, is of course different from performing, in general, there is fundamentally its own specificity of work, this is the approach to children, these are some psychological characteristics, and approaches in working with students, this is of course a different part of life, it reveals in a new way. also me and more so the more difficult part for me of course life, because when you perform, it ’s always easier, to teach, to convey your abilities and show your potential and reveal, this is of course much harder and more complex, but today i also have students, there are really few of them, because my activity doesn’t allow you to do that, let’s just say we’re doing pedagogy, but not eating, we’re doing...

it’s just that often the funniest moments that they say will be something to remember happen in this exact passage, 10 seconds, when you don’t have time to change clothes, when you mix up the costumes, suddenly before the performance, the next number, you change clothes, but it turns out that you changed into the wrong outfit, the wrong suit, this is where it begins, the most pleasant thing of all is when the concert ends, and you you come out already so exhausted. like a lemon and the audience comes up, this is the simplest thing, what can be, this gratitude, when

they say that it was beautiful, it was cool, i listened to you, i listened, and for me it was a discovery recently, and not i was able to attend one concert, and some people came specially , i found out later, they met me a couple of days later and said that we had wasted an hour and a half to two hours of our lives there, it was like that for me, thinking about what would happen next, whether i would i am connected, yes, with this, with concert activities, i can say

with certainty that the girl with the accordion, and that’s what they usually call me, you can also often find this wording on posters, so let’s say, it’s like my second personality, so katya, ekaterina ivanovna, ekaterina levdorovich, it turns off when a girl with an accordion comes on stage , probably as long as she’s inside me... to live and try to get out on stage, which means i ’ll be connected with music until that moment, because the girl with the accordion, it’s clear that such a girl is up to a certain age, it would seem, then it will result in something else, probably something else, but i think that music will be with me all the time, because i go to work, it’s with me all the time music, i fall asleep with music in my headphones, that is, it’s always actually.

now we are in the agricultural town of geroniony, in the very cultural heart of the country, where this is exactly the case. the yaranen children's art school is located, of which i am the director and have been leading it for the fourth year, since 2020, when i was offered this position, i have not had... any fear, to the surprise of probably many people, the young director, probably always i must be afraid of something there, be unsure of myself, but i had such a life attitude when i began my career that it is necessary i will be a director, and i planned that it would be at the age of 34-35, something like that, but

it happened 10 years earlier, so i can say that i was ready for this a long time ago. i had such a life career strategy built to achieve this, i clearly understood what kind of leader i wanted to see in front of me, and what kind of leader i should be directly, what didn’t suit me when i was a teacher, what kind of leaders i saw, then i see to this day, so i was already ready for this, after being appointed to this position, life of course has changed, i won’t say too radically. somehow, but much more responsibility was added, i can definitely say for sure that i matured earlier, and in general the skills of other professions, so to speak, teachers, cleaners, caretaker, some such, yes, banal, maybe, where -that, but nevertheless important things,

i had to master, study, know, as it were , how it is... work, well, in general, yes, a position, somewhere it can be beautiful, maybe honorable, but it involves a very a big burden of responsibility, at our school the main the musical and choreographic directions, musically - this is the instrumental and choral department, which means these are the main and our areas of work with students,

with regard to the events of the school, mainly those that are new and significant for us. our festivals , competitions, which are directly related to my activities, they began their implementation, and on the basis of our school, and they are held annually, we have a festival competition there in february-march, walk masnitsa , a multi-genre festival competition, also held in june on the day children 3d give kindness to children, and accordingly, closer to the end of the calendar year, we are holding our new competition, which... in 23 , for the first time, so to speak, we launched, also a festival, a competition brighter for everyone, where children from different parts of our country, they they send their video works for competition and participate , actively promote themselves, show us their talents, their teachers, thanks to this

, they have mostly known our school in recent years, thanks to our festivals, competitions, as a leader and in general as a person... century, i i don’t like to talk too much or advertise , so let’s say that we, yes, what directions we have planned, every teacher knows what he needs to achieve in a certain academic year, he is moving towards this goal, in terms of the school we actively continue to develop that , what we started, again, these are all our creative projects, cooperation with other schools, promotion of our young specialists, we all... we will further develop this, the most important thing is not to stop there for us, and if we have achieved what something good results, thanks to our projects, this does not mean that we need to stop, we need to draw conclusions, what worked, what didn’t, and continue to develop, but first of all, come up with new projects, thanks to which we

will further popularize our art school, in addition to work, and i am also actively developing: social activity, the beginning of this very social activity was at the university of culture and arts, which means that such volunteer activities, like most students, probably served as the beginning of all this, we had such a volunteer club elephant, with which we at the university of culture constantly went there to various concerts, organized events for children and so on, well , it smoothly... flowed into such serious social activities today, i am a member of the youth parliament at the national assembly of the republic of belarus, this is of course a completely different level. which also implies a certain responsibility, this activity involves working together with senators of the council of the republic, we are present

at meetings of the council of the republic, we also implement our youth projects and initiatives, including large ones, such as the leadership platform team of the future, the youth talk show dano, which is also now gaining momentum.

parliament at the national assembly, today every young person has the opportunity to prove himself, at the very start of even his working life, a lot of attention is paid. as a young specialist in our country in general, young people in general, and i believe that in order to somehow prove oneself for to catch on to something, to grab this opportunity, you need to constantly develop yourself, present yourself as something, in order to at least somehow show yourself somewhere, you need to start with some local authorities in your area, youth so, to express themselves directly. in his small homeland, at his first place of work, then if a person is purposeful, interested in his work activity, he will definitely be noticed, as was the case with me.

many will say that an artist, a leader, a public figure, a teacher, all this but in one person it is incompatible or does not give any significant result, specifically in my case it helps to distract from one activity to another, it also helps to do something, perhaps a break, if you devote more time.

a kind of result, thanks to which it is possible to draw certain conclusions and outline tasks for the future. such an active life as mine, of course, is sometimes very exhausting, but at the same time, it gives some kind of charge of energy, some kind of adrenaline, which, it seems, is exhausting, but at the same time time gives you some kind of strength, self-confidence and the development of your own creative abilities. every person has their pluses, minuses, advantages and disadvantages, and with all my achievements and successes, there are also those things that i

don’t like to do, and i don’t like to pay so much attention to cooking, in general , all sorts of things that they suggest some kind of handicrafts, crafts, these, this also does not evoke any response to me, although, strangely, this is also a kind of creativity, and i admire these. people who are capable to create something with your own hands, some things that are so beautiful, truly meaningful. rest for me is always different, sometimes i want it depending on my activity, if it was busy, say, a concert week, i want to relax in peace and quiet, not see anyone at all, but if, on the contrary, there was such a more or less measured pedagogical activity or as a managerial position and involve some kind of a lot of business trips. and so on, then i want to spend the weekend more actively, so to speak, meet with acquaintances with friends, always communicate differently, depending on your mood,

this also affects, for me as... a leader today it is important to remember one thing: it is important to remember who you were before this position and not cross any lines . my dad always said that you can occupy any leadership position, be a leader at any level, but it is important to always remain human. and when i worked as a teacher, i had an ordinary wooden director’s chair in my classroom, but now, of course, it’s the director’s chair. chair and i periodically i remember, i remember myself when i was a teacher, what i wanted from my leadership, well, i always try to bring myself down to earth, no matter what results happen in my life, no matter what directions develop in my life , and no matter how interested they are in me, i always try to remember where i am, who i am and where i come from.

getting to know belarusian enterprises and the outstanding results of their work. we have exported countries such as germany, bulgaria, israel, due to the fact that there is difficulties. recently, in terms of export supplies to some countries, we have been able to increase export shipments. our pride is natural ice cream, which has been made according to classic recipes for more than 40 years since the founding of the plant. an approach to business that everyone should strive for. all the merit, what we have today is the merit of our large team and each individual. everyone is worried, everyone is trying, of course,

to make their contribution.

belarus has retained in higher education the best soviet traditions, alexander lukashenko stated this at a meeting with members of the republican council of rectors of higher education institutions. that is why 30 thousand students from more than 100 countries come to our country to study, a decent figure, and the export of educational services last year amounted to more than $90 million. we dedicated the year 2023 to solving the most pressing issues in education and made the final decision on

the organization. admissions companies to universities. now the approaches will be polished. today discussed not only trends in higher education, improving the quality of educational programs, but also other related issues, which have accumulated quite a lot. and the head of state is waiting for a clear algorithm for their decisions from the participants of the republican council of rectors. alexander lukashenko focuses on complete concentration. we cannot relax and underestimate the challenges of today. education, according to the head of state , has never been and cannot be outside of politics. everyone involved in the educational process not only gives a profession, but shape the worldview of young people. the president demands that ideological educational work be increased. universities must train personnel. to meet the needs of the domestic real sector. in 2024 , they plan to build 4 million 400,000 km of housing in belarus, of which 1,600,000 are for those in need of improved housing conditions. in general, the construction

industry last year became one of the drivers of growth in the national economy, along with trade and manufacturing. the industry's contribution to the country's gdp is more than 5%. we managed to significantly increase the volume of contract work. export. services. belarus maintains a high level of state support for housing construction. this is almost every third square meter. one of the most important areas is support for large families. they can take advantage of a preferential loan or subsidy. these priorities will remain unchanged this year. it is planned to put into operation over 350,000 m2 of rental apartments. such housing will be built for military personnel and citizens equivalent to them, for those who live there. in premises unsuitable for habitation, and also some other categories. the minsk wheel tractor plant has resumed serial production of nemon buses. the first models have already set out on the route. the lida enterprise suspended production in 2021

due to the cessation of supplies of western chassis and components. over the course of 2 years, mzkt developed its own platform and resumed production of the most popular mid-size buses. restyling affected the front and rear headlights, bumpers, and luggage. and wheel arches. a new workshop was put into operation at the vitebsk enterprise for the production of veterinary preparations for the production of sterile injection suspensions. in total , more than 9 million rubles were allocated for the implementation of the project. the workshop capacity is 200 tons of drugs per year. the new facility will produce products necessary for belarusian and russian veterinary medicine for the treatment of infectious diseases, including suspensions and anti-mastitis syringes. almost all products are import-substituting. most of it has no analogues in the world and has high therapeutic effectiveness. goods and import-substituting products have great export potential, here the most important thing is that a new innovative product is created, which is the future and which will help

to defeat diseases, preserve disease, and obtain high-quality products, so you see, it seems that an enterprise may be small on a national scale, but it is important. on the claim of success, this is, i think, a huge undertaking. 2,500 schoolchildren in belarus chose engineering as their field of study. enrollment in such specialized classes started this academic year. now there are more than 230 of them open in the country, in including in the loshnitsa gymnasium of the borisov region. tenth-graders there learn the specifics of their future profession not only in theory, but in practice in belarusian workshops.

this is the time to start learning and mastering knowledge. russian style, it has been working on and excavating such iconic elements of that old architecture, otherwise it would have been different.
