these competitions was the photo competition i am in vyshyvanka, where my family and i wore our national embroidered shirts and submitted our photographs and won there, great, do you know how embroidered shirts are made, honestly, it’s as if there is some specific picture in my head, but how exactly is it not, well, that is, you can compare an embroidered shirt with some kind of souvenir? belarusian, right? i think so, and i would advise any guest who comes to us here in belarus, first of all, to buy embroidered shirt as a quality item. i know that in your hometown there is an enterprise where souvenirs are made, i often passed by there, but i have never been there, well, today you will have the opportunity to see everything and i think that you will even try to make some souvenirs, great. hello,

hello, hello, pavel, vladimir, igor, it’s very nice, vladimir, i brought you our hero, who wants to know everything about your production. please tell us about the history of the enterprise. back in 1939 , people who were engaged in creativity, produced some products, as private owners, decided to unite into an artel. this is where the history of the enterprise begins. what kind of assortment do you produce today, what do you produce? our company specializes in the production of sewing products, relatively recently we have revived such a trend as clothing in ethnic style, this is embroidered shirt, we position it as clothing for the whole family, that is, you can buy embroidered shirt for dad, for mom, for son, daughter, the whole family will dress beautifully. a

woodworking area where woodworkers work, and such a direction as three-dimensional wood carving, small sculptures, our symbol of the republic. to get acquainted with our company, first i suggest going to the city of baranovichi to our production workshop. hello, we

they said that the entire production process begins with the artist, you are an artist, right, right, i have a special art education, the design department of the glebov school. at the academy of arts , the university of culture is an art critic, just like that, there’s a lot of things, you probably walked towards this goal for a long time, an art school even before that, and also an art school, that is, you can say that you are a worker by vocation, you can say this , okay, tell us, here are the ideas, so you said about education, but is it really possible to draw ideas from somewhere all your life in order to apply such different ornaments and designs, i use special literature, visit museums, observe, that is, you can say, some kind of creative expeditions, right, you can say that , who makes the decision on the color scheme of a certain design, well , here i see how it will be, how it should be, that is, you can say, if you think like that, such an eminence gray of this

production, right, i came up with, i decided, i implemented, now please here in people, well, that’s right, that’s right. here, here is where it is hidden, as it turns out, here is the center, here is the heart, one might say, of this entire production, how long does it take to put a sketch on fabric, you could show, of course, at least an example, come on, super, show us , the sketch is ready, the drawing of the set is ready, it needs to be transferred to the fabric, and this paper is called tracing paper, yes, tracing paper, yes, a drawing, the drawing is done on tracing paper, then it is placed on top,

now you hear it, after the drawing is pinned, it’s ready , this is being removed, applied to the fabric and a special composition is applied to tracing paper, the product is, it would seem, folk machine oil, bluing,

uh, but you see, it works and it passes from generation to generation, apparently, our grandmothers and great-grandmothers even did this, because embroidering such patterns and... from memory is not so easy, so here it was a discovery for me, for sure i think the production will use some special equipment, but no, everything is simple, machine oil, blueberry and ice, everything is ready , this was passed down from generation to generation here at the factory, just like that this means that preserving traditions was not something i came up with, but how much of this stencil is enough, how many copies of fabric, well, one stencil is enough for 50 to 60 samples. and then you need to do it again, yes, and then you need to make the stencil again, there is a sketch, after the sketch they are updated again, that is , you know, this is just - one might say, the first stage at which we are present, and i already understand the value of the product, so now

the worker is embroidering this drawing. oh, let's go have a look, great, let's go let's go there, hello! hello, we just visited the artist, we applied it to the fabric, it turns out that we copied the design, yes , please tell us what happens next with this, it needs to be hooped, we once did cross-stitching on the same ones, yes, it was once... what was cross-stitched is now done on ordinary universal machines, but please note that this is manual labor, unique embroiderers work here who have had years of experience in their work. how much work experience do you have 46 years old, 46 years old, but what surprised me more

was that - the ornaments on the embroidered shirt are embroidered by hand, when this woman sits like a machine, she embroiders it all, she does everything beautifully, yes , this is what surprised me about this, this one the front part is coming, and that is, on the hands it’s like this, yes, yes, and how much time did it take - beautiful? the embroidery process sometimes takes up to 3 hours of embroidery, some take less than an hour to embroider, some take up to 3 hours, it all depends on the labor intensity, one embroidered shirt or one embroidered shirt can go, 6-7 hours of one embroidered shirt, but you can try to embroider, of course, everything is laid out, we only hold our fingers here and hold them, under no circumstances do we touch the needles on anything, but the principle of work is that we need to connect the pattern from point to point. so in such small jerks, maneuverable, yes,

that’s how we do it, i press, press the pedal, don’t rush, at this moment we are going back and forth like this, yes, yes, we press, here, but you don’t hit it, but we landmark, don’t rush, do n’t rush, we’re not in a car, we’re not driving, but we don’t accelerate, yes, we don’t need to accelerate, smoothly, smoothly, some kind, yes, some kind? i’m also trying some kind, please, in order to hit this, you really need skills, when you sit down, you must feel not only the pressing force, feel the pedal, the speed of the needle to regulate, but accordingly you must move this fabric with such micro movements so that... everything works out and it’s not so easy, after we have made such a stencil, we have already

embroidered everything, we go for wet-heat treatment, and what happens after that? as we have already left the drawing on fabrics? after we have embroidered a design on certain parts, we combine the cut parts that are not embroidered with the embroidered ones, and here we get a full-fledged product. at the output, we put the finished product on the quality control department's measuring tape, perhaps, here i would

like to see two parallels, and manual labor, and i would really like that in the age of modern technology, there would be some kind of automatic... tires that are also sewn. why do we need manual embroidery if there is automatic embroidery? there are special embroidery techniques that are performed only on machine, it is not automated, and it also allows you to preserve belarusian traditions, is it true, i noticed that there are 12 needles on... each machine has 12 needles, can they sew at the same time or how does this happen? they embroider in

a given order, it corresponds to the pattern, but they do not embroider at the same time, but all 12 can be involved, please tell me, as i understand it, here, in this automatic workshop , there is only embroidery, that’s right, yes, here only automated embroidery , and the rest is manual all the labor, that is , there is still no way to do without manual labor. but where are you? how do you like it, how do you like it in our production, it’s very cool, great, interesting, we even tried to do something ourselves, it’s great, it didn’t work out, but now it’s time for us to go back, let’s go, new adventures await us there, let’s go, let’s go , let's go, so vladimir

mikhalovich, what do we have here, here we have the beginning of production at... this is a technological laboratory, the entire range that the enterprise produces begins here, it all starts with an idea, i expected it to be, you know, like in the movies, there are flasks of some kind of liquid, there is a professor with glasses, some curly-haired guy walks there, no, i, you walk in here, it’s just ordinary a room, a table, a computer, a construction set, a girl doing all this there, yes, it’s completely different from that one. what i imagined, meet the head of the laboratory ekaterina fedorova, it’s very nice, from here we begin the development, production of further clothing, we are working on embroidered shirts, working on dresses, skirts, trousers, studying fashion direction, based on materials,

we select everything, see what suits us, and then the designers begin to develop designs. clothes, how much belarusian is in your products? definitely, 95 percent - this is belarusian, from start to finish, it is based on our belarusian-made fabric, the fabric is of excellent quality, they wear very well, people really like them, but can you show us how the process works from idea to its implementation is already as in a computer, a designer, excellent. tell me what you are what are you working on now? now we are working on an embroidered shirt, i have a sketch, this is a women’s, yes, a women’s embroidered shirt, this is some new one, yes, yes, yes, yes, that is, we may soon see it on sale, i noticed you don’t care - it’s drawn on paper, it’s your idea, right, and a little later, apparently, so as not to forget, maybe you like - like a scientist or like mendeleo, you dreamed of him about

the periodic table, you dreamed of an embroidered shirt, and then you just so that not to forget, they transferred it to... paper, and when they arrived at work, they decided put everything into the computer, it happens, of course, it’s still an idea, not necessarily everything, the whole product, but some element, some part, some even design line, everything is in the head. well, vladimir mikhailovich, can you show us the production? of course, then i suggest not to linger, but rather to go there, let’s go through. well, here we have the basis of production, yeah, here is tailoring, and here we earn money, thanks to this we can be creative, produce the beauty that you saw in baranovichi. as far as i understand, here you have production

commissioned by another company, well, we carry out orders for other companies, but also. we also sew our own assortment, but here there is an assembly line production, each worker performs a certain operation, maybe two operations, and of course, in order for the product to turn out to be of high quality, control is carried out, but each worker, she looks at what came to her from the previous one shli, and i see that you also have some kind of workshop there, what kind of shop is it? come on in, they work for us there students of our college are in practice today. we have a college that trains future seamstresses, in the educational process there is such a thing as industrial practice, and today we are teaching them how to sew robes, yeah, that’s also necessary, in this case it will be overalls for the employees of the enterprise, but you provide for yourself, remember you told me that

you also have the famous wooden bison, but where are they produced? we have a small section of wooden souvenirs, we invite you to have some for your soul, let's go, well since we are now working in the technical department in processing, this is a path that is more familiar to us, and personally it is very familiar to me, because at school during our labor we made cutting boards and candlesticks, yours was interesting, but ours is a little simpler, we made handles for a hammer, a file, or they were pointers, but at least we worked with it. a device that contains these five, probably, or six products at once. and just one person makes these specific preparations for all this, of course, it’s cool that now in our time there is such a production, it’s established, we’re at

the souvenirs site, site foreman nikolai vikkentievich lukyanov, it’s very nice, very nice, but tell me, please, what specific souvenirs do you make here? basically, three-dimensional carvings are made, which means bison, elds, herons, storks, wise owls, and what material is used to produce these beautiful souvenirs? for the manufacture of souvenirs , linden lumber is used, the most suitable is yes, because it is softer the breed and more lends itself easily to carving. first, the machine operator makes a rough blank, and the woodworkers bring it to the final form, but to work as a woodworker you need to have certain knowledge and skills and... and , as they say, a woodworker is born, a woodworker cannot be taught, a woodworker is just born, that is, it’s some kind of... that state of mind, i have a question for you, for people who work

with something so creative, sincere, as we have already talked about, do you have a dream? we had a dream originally, when there was a factory, which means we were engaged in karelian birch, now it is probably necessary to restore the production of joint products from karelian birch, and why exactly karelian birch, because? today, similar products are actually there in the form of souvenirs, they are not available, but a souvenir made from this type of wood is, one might say, a piece of jewelry, that is, it looks very beautiful, unique, and i think that it can definitely become something new and interesting brand in our country. these are wise words, we see, yes, she stands on books, on... all so wise and smart, how many it takes about a while to make this owl, if you take it with bare wood, three days to make

a book, glue it together, put the leaves in there, also work with each other, well, so that for the strength of the structure, every leaf is sculpted, then there are 3 days for one souvenir, and paint it with varnish accordingly. then you don’t have to ask questions why souvenirs are so expensive, one souvenir takes 3 days and so much human labor, i’ll honestly admit right away that i wasn’t born a woodworker, you can, you may, no, no, no, but is it possible for us, this is of course very dangerous, i understand how much time and effort is put into some kind of workpiece, make at least some minimal elements, or maybe cuts or whatever you call it correctly, here are the sections. excellent in one of the blanks, i was very afraid of ruining the part, when they told me that something like this would take 3 days, and i understand that

if i spoil this blank, then people would just work for 3 days in vain, i was scared, fibers they're coming, in the middle of the workpiece they're going up, yeah, that's it turn over, they will go down from here, now i will show you, here there is this up. yes, green lines, here you can follow this line please, so you can somewhere, how deep do you need to do these approximately, you need to apply it on the machine, it’s already sort of processed, yeah, well, you can’t put too much pressure on your leg, otherwise it might break, that’s right, well yes, preferably, well, it’s even stronger, it’s like that, that is, you chose the strongest one, well, igor, are you ready, well... now you try, this is a setup, this is a setup, i’m saying that i’m not

reshchik, i’m something of a piercer for now, i think it’s as difficult as making an embroidered pattern on a sewing machine, yes, this requires experience, at first it was very cool, so igor, tell me how you like it our day, firstly, i want... to thank you for inviting your project, i was very interested, i saw, i even took part in the process of making our national souvenirs, our national clothes, in particular embroidered shirts, here i hope that the experience gained will help me in the future the embodiment of new ideas, to take part in new competitions in new projects, listen, we are happy, i see how impressed you are, how your eyes light up, i wish you creative success too and of course victories in competitions, thank you, now you know too, how the crafts and traditions of belarus are preserved, and to become the hero of our program, you can record a video, send it to us, and together we

will find out how it is. made.

when it appears in the wild, the light shines on the earth. all the humming evenings have died down, and only the sand of the fox sings to the wind, if you. i sleep and understand what the truth is. the skin magic spreads in nature, in the forest, in the field, on rivers and lakes, smells of fresh wind, smells of clean skies, hears singing birds and forests

. grin, sleepyhead! respect your fat, jumping and screaming. in harmony with nature. belarus 24. how life goes for foreign guests in belarus. welcome, now you are in my studio, where i shoot videos every day. i compare and show belarusian and venezuelan cultures. first time i came to belarus in 2000, when he was appointed counselor at the embassy of the republic of armenia, the republic of belarus. definitely, belarus

helped me. sports grounds, has worked as a volunteer at many major tournaments, and she herself prefers dancing and zumba. at one time he played in the svistich football club in the second league of the belarusian championship, and was also the captain of the amateur hockey team red fire. but what will be the result in a real battle of intellects? what is the name in artistic gymnastics for an element that represents flip in the air 360° or more over the head. andrey, somersault, of course. the diagram

shows special exercises for training athletes; what sports discipline are we talking about? i think it's the shot put , it's the shot put, absolutely right, that's the correct answer. look. intellectual sports show, head game on our tv channel. the decision was bold. before this, the red army had not carried out offensive operations to a depth of more than 150 km. rakosovsky planned to make a 500 km throw. but first it was necessary liberate bobruisk. the bobruisk operation took place from june 24 to 29. 1944, it was part of the offensive operation bagration, the operation was carried out by troops of the first belarusian front under the command of marshal of the soviet union, rakosovsky. the front was opposed by the ninth army, which consisted of 10

infantry divisions and two divisions of the fourth army of the wehrmacht. the germans had a strong, deeply stunned defense. it consisted of two strips of pre-prepared defensive lines along the dobosna, ola, berezina rivers, as well as around bobruisk. trakosovsky was the most powerful of all those who participated in the operation , bagration, however, the tasks assigned to him were serious. the troops had to crush the southern flank of the defensive positions of the army center group. the occupiers prepared all the brick buildings and high stone foundations of houses in bobruisk for long-term defense. firing points were equipped in the windows and doorways, mortar crews took up firing positions in the courtyards... in ammunition and food, everything spoke of the cellars of local residents, there were warehouses that the germans were not going to leave the city, but while the enemy was strengthening bobruisk, rakosovsky was already developing effective

tactics for storming german positions. the offensive of the first belarusian front did not begin on june 23, as planned as part of operation bagration, but on the next day, according to the plan of the supreme commander in chief... this was done so that german troops, which could strengthen the group in babruisk, would already be involved in battles with the second belarusian front. on the first day of the offensive on the left flank of the front, near the village of parichi, outlined significant successes: troops of the 65th and 28th armies broke through the enemy’s defenses to a depth of 15-20 km, and on june 25 , the mobile forces of the front, the cavalry-mechanized group of general pliev and... the guards tank corps were introduced into the resulting breakthrough. their task was to cut the roads leading from bobruisk in the western, northwestern and southwestern directions. from the memoirs of marshal of the soviet union, konstantin rakosovsky. it was assumed, with the forces of the first

belarusian front, to deliver two main attacks at once, one directly on bobruisk, the second to glusk. the task was to deprive the enemy of maneuver, to prevent the transfer of forces from one area. on the other, the right wing of the first belarusian front, consisting of the third, forty -eighth army and units of the 65th army, was supposed to attack the bobruisk fortified area, with the task of defeating the main forces of the ninth field army of the wehrmacht. the left wing, with the forces of the twenty- eighth army, a cavalry-mechanized group and the 1st guards tank corps , advanced on a wide front, in the direction khalapenich minsk, with a common plan to cut through the defenses of army group center. reach the belarusian capital and then advance on brest. the decision was bold. before this, the red army had not carried out offensive operations to a depth of more than 150 km. rakosovsky planned to make a 500 km throw. but

first it was necessary to liberate babuisk. being an experienced military leader, rakosovsky noticed one feature. the commander of the ninth army of the wehrmacht, general hans jordon, built the defense in a formulaic manner. the troops were dispersed exclusively inside. three fortified areas, in forested and swampy area south of bobrusk, the enemy forces were not so great. it could not even occur to the germans that soviet troops would advance through almost impassable swamps, but it was there that rakosovsky decided to attack. to overcome topias and impassable places, the fighters , on the advice of local partisans, wove macro-stomps from willow branches. these are bast shoes that look like large tennis rackets; they were tied to boots and calmly slapped around the quagmire. the guns were dragged on special wooden rafts, and for light tanks they built roads. to avoid getting sick while working in cold water, the soldiers, again, on the advice of the partisans, smeared their bodies with fat. the formation of the sixteenth air force was planned to be used.
