solovin, the best land in the world, my belarus. belarus, belarus, the best land in the world, belarus, may, belarus, belarus.

for 14 years now, his work begins when the sun sets, sleeps for several hours at dawn, it continues again, every evening, without holidays, weekends and vacations, he doesn’t think that they are also stewed.

they ask: do you fill them with water in the morning? he is the only representative of the ancient profession in belarus. in the archives they found what the uniform of a lamplighter was more than 100 years ago, here what was once an ordinary electrician, who at one point turned into a tourist symbol of the city. in order to see how he does his job, people travel thousands of kilometers on purpose. when times are tough.

but also small lanterns in people’s souls. the height of a hot summer day. they go to the dacha, this is a place of attraction for them, they can rest their soul, although it’s unlikely that their body, judging by the ideally planted plantations of vegetables and berries, a lot of work has been put into it, we hardly see each other, when we arrive, we don’t talk, something like roses , strokes, talking to roses, doing something of his own.

we cope because we have to love the earth, then we communicate with microorganisms, with the earth, you don’t feel tired, you seem to be tired, you’re going home, but such fatigue is pleasant, looking at the lean, fit , constantly smiling viktor petrovich, you can’t tell that he’s 66 years, however, he himself says about his age like this, divide it by half, you have to ask, but i estimated it half, 15, still a teenager, viktor petrovich always had an easy and positive attitude towards life, but the most it’s amazing that with age, this trait in him not only did not disappear, but manifested itself even more, the motto is so lifelike, smile more often and in general a person lives as long as he wants, we don’t have any problems. all problems

can be solved, there is no need to get hung up on some small details, we simply create problems for ourselves more often, they come, something like that. perhaps it was precisely this attitude towards life towards oneself and people that played a decisive role 14 years ago, when viktor kirisyuk, among a huge competition of applicants, was chosen to become the main and the only lamplighter not only of the city of brest, but of the whole of belarus. then he worked

in brest-gorsvet, as an ordinary electrician; at first he treated the unexpected position simply as new responsibilities, when it seemed uncomfortable. such a change is this profession, what does it mean to walk quietly with a screwdriver or pliers, when there are a lot of people and you are alone, so all the attention is on you, so it’s exciting, but over time the excitement passed, and viktor petrovich got into the role so well that became unnoticeable to himself symbol of brest, the tradition of lighting lanterns in the evenings has turned into... a calling card of the city, even without a vintage staircase costume, everyone knows the famous lamplighter on the pedestrian sovetskaya street: artists, craftsmen, street actors. good evening, yes, yulia, for example, comes here very often, she is

an actress in the theater of living sculptors. i saw him every evening, every morning i knew that he was lighting the lanterns, then we got to know each other better, and somewhere after work i met him without the image of a lamplighter. he treated us chocolates, sweets, we met somehow , i already know him well, as a person. indistinguishable, here is a lantern, a person is one person, it’s just that victor petrovich without an image in an image is the same, just as kind, just as humorous, just as cheerful, just as responsive, just wonderful, the very idea of ​​reviving the former tradition of lighting lanterns came to the city leadership in 2009 on the eve of the next anniversary of brest, especially for the main pedestrian street. soviet 17 lanterns with kerosene lamps, stylized in the 19th century, were ordered century we delved into the archives and found information about what a lamplighter from peter’s times looked like, and ordered a uniform and cap based on ancient sketches. here's a lamplighter's costume. in

the archives they found what the uniform of a lamplighter was like more than 100 years ago. and that’s who, the uviits were torn off, but there were spare ones. and now they are beautifully screwed on the wires. in fact, a lot of buttons had been torn off over so many years of work, but viktor petrovich never got angry, he just laughed it off. they tug at the singers, some even forcefully, but i ask them, more gently, girls, more gently. before a few minutes remain of the appointed time for lighting the lanterns; warm summer twilight is slowly falling on brest. somewhere in the distance an old waltz sounds and a lamplighter in a frock coat with shiny buttons emerges from a small closet. the fairy tale comes to life before our eyes. people come and say: you’re like something

out of anderson’s fairy tale. adults, yes, i’m even somehow surprised, oh, how i am. i don’t care how i ended up in a fairy tale or ended up there, a fairy tale, you give a fairy tale, and indeed, looking at how sincerely, childishly, adults react to the brest lamplighter, how they smile at the whole mouth, rushing to reach the button to make a wish, it becomes clear what viktor petrovich is talking about. health to you, success, happiness, necessarily, any, come on, everyone is happy,

we are talking about the most fascinating thing from the world of science, i remember when - a man describes on ten pages the use of apple cider vinegar for the treatment of cancer , this can simply have disastrous consequences, it's clear why. let's share interesting ones. facts, but in the assumptions of ancient thinkers there were many mistakes, for example, galen believed that the center of the cardiovascular system was the liver. the ancient people liked sour wine, they began to add it to food and use it in medicine. we ask the most exciting questions and look for answers to them. and today our cardiologists have the opportunity to extend the life of the most important organ of the human body. we have long ago created and we mainly use our own mechanical prostheses, this is absolutely our prosthesis, which is absolutely no

different in hemodynamic parameters from western models, see the science project next to the tv channel belarus 24, childish curiosity and genuine interest, and absolute honesty and sincere emotions of the characters. hello everyone, in exactly a minute a hero will come to us who will answer everything: are you ready to meet our hero? why do you think the children chose you to talk to? i hope i can answer their questions, a talk show in which famous people answer tricky questions from the younger generation. how are you at work different from yourself at home? it seems to me that it’s purely by appearance, not i’m turning from some kind of greenie into a cute cat. no, i’m either a grym everywhere, or a cat everywhere. how do you feel when people feel sorry for you? extremely categorically negative:

to feel sorry is not the same as to sympathize, pity is an arrogant feeling, this is a feeling of superiority, see the project 100 questions for an adult on the belarus 24 tv channel . the legend that if you rub a lamplighter’s button to make a wish, it will certainly come true is very old, but for adults, this fairy tale game turns into something more. good evening, hello, someone and although he makes a wish only half-jokingly, some people take this ritual much more seriously. more seriously, asking for important things, sincerely believing that the magic buttons of the brest lamplighter will definitely help.

well, people are already looking for salvation everywhere, some of their parents are sick, some of them haven’t had children for a long time, they make a wish, they come in a year or two, in their arms with a child, they say: we made a wish, he’s coming once recently, he’s bringing strollers, he’s coming , thank you, that’s what i could do.

yes, it’s like a fairy tale, and we were also waiting for its release, so the atmosphere was conveyed the fact that people follow him, not that someone looked at one lantern and dispersed, this is precisely the unity of all people in one place to observe such an unusual action. anastasia and her daughter liza came from the city of bolokovo, saratov region. we learned about the lamplighter from the intellectual game quiz press. we arrived in brest this morning. visited the press fortress, stayed here overnight in a hostel so that in the evening we could go and visit it, it’s very

unusual, very impressive, the child is not still understands very well, but for me i didn’t see those times when lanterns were lit manually , look at this, how it was, it’s very interesting, very educational and something new, but like any fairy tale and ritual of lighting lanterns comes to an end, in soviet there are fewer people. during this half hour, he not only did his job, he withstood the noise and din of the crowd, the touch of dozens of hands, the hug of strangers.

dusk has fallen on the soviet one, the lanterns are on, the show is over, but for our hero the work continues, in just a few hours, when it starts to get light, he will come here again to put out the lights, he doesn’t think that they are also extinguishing them, they ask: do you fill them with water in the morning, in fact , i get up, i raise the glass, and in just 24 hours he will have to go up and down the stairs no less 50 times. so, 14 years, without days off, holidays and vacations, in any

weather, winter and summer. although this profession is from earlier times, even today it cannot be called simple. there are very few lamplighters left in european cities, and there they are worth their weight gold. when asked if he’s ever wanted to work somewhere in another country, viktor petrovich answers without even thinking, he didn’t even think about it and wouldn’t go, i’m somehow a patriot, one might say, of my brest, my roots are here, here ...

14 years old comes to look at this ritual, it gives a different light, if the soul is dark, sometimes one small light is enough to give a person hope, to make him believe that everything will be fine, problems will go away and tomorrow will be better than yesterday, because adults are mere children in this, brest the lamplighter knows this for sure.
