in rarity. in what mood do you go into a conversation? i'm very afraid. promise to tell only the truth. aibekki. are you ready to come out to your children? yes, sure. then good luck, dear passengers. today in our studio we have the general director of belavia airline igor nikolaevich cherginets. we're taking off. igor nikolaevich, i want to warn you that according to the rules of our program, if for some reason you cannot or do not want to answer, you have the right to refuse the question three times and be attentive to the questions, at the end of the program you will have to choose the best, now you have one minute to briefly tell about yourself, time has passed, igor cherginets, general director of belavia. 56 years old, i have been working for

the belavia airline and in aviation since 1995 since september 11, graduated from high school in minsk, sixty-fourth in komarovka, played football, played football, army, military service, 2 years, city of volozhin, belarus, further studied at bsu, graduated from the faculty of law. well, almost immediately there, with a short interval, i started working at belovea airlines, starting in the marketing department, i worked in advertising, then worked for a long time as a representative of an airline abroad, and finally reached the position of general director. you didn’t get it done in a minute, but now questions from our young passengers. dear passengers, on behalf of the airline crew, greetings. on board our

airliner. fasten your seat belts, put the backs of your seats in an upright position and ask your questions. let's start with the red sector. please raise your hand higher. igor nikolaevich, in what family did the future director of the airline grow up? oh, well, almost my family everyone knows, i have a dad, well, he’s already retired, there are dads in many guises, he’s a writer, he also... wrote film scripts, most importantly , he was a policeman, a criminal investigator, he caught criminals all his life, before that he was a football player , played football, fought in afghanistan, was wounded, well, now i’m retired, ladies and gentlemen, at the request of the airline’s ground services, we must change the flight plan, we are moving to the purple sector, hello, my name is paris, why didn’t you go into politics? like your dad, you are at heart,

probably a romantic, well, probably we are all romantics, politics, when i was preparing for adulthood, i was not involved in politics, at that moment he was just involved in the police, was the head of the criminal investigation department of the republic of belarus, then the bssr, then i was finishing school, just in the tenth grade, about to go to college, he went to fight in afghanistan. so there was no smell of politics there yet, and i didn’t think about politics yet, i wanted to be a policeman, what influenced your future profession, probably it was in a certain way it was somewhat by chance that my parents had just returned from afghanistan and were in the same company with the pilots, well, they were talking about aviation, about airplanes, i really liked this, i said that i wanted to go to bilevo.

on the left side there is a black sector. where should you study to become a big boss? well, i can say that it is definitely impossible to learn how to become a big boss, especially right away. and, probably, if you dream from the very beginning of becoming a big boss, then probably nothing will work out, because you have to go through all the stages of the step, such as you have three steps, i almost had them too. advertising manager, we placed advertisements in our newspapers, magazines and so on, and then little by little i grew, so in fact i did not miss a single step in the airline, well, on my own path, you have to go in small, small steps, you finish, for example , school, you graduate from college, university, and they immediately give you a position and a salary, well, maybe... life

works out that way for some, but this is very rare, and i know of almost no such cases, everything else is work, work, work, nothing more. did your father's gift for writing pass on to you, or do you like reading books more? well, several times, several times i had the desire to write something, but i have never succeeded in this in my life, maybe someday it will work out, or i’ll try, let’s just say, this doesn’t mean that i will succeed, yet , until this happened, until this happened, maybe it will in the future, and what kind of literature in... do you prefer, maybe there are top three favorite books? you know, literature - it probably depends on age, for example, if you take your age, well, about yours, then i read books about the war, about the great patriotic war, then there was a period

of dartagnan, love began there, there was something like that, there was such a detective story at the time, and of course there their father, different, different - in my case they earn as much as there is enough or not enough money, to say that in my family as a child there was nothing to eat, but this is not true, with age i can appreciate what it was like at that age at school , there at the institute, not only was there not enough money, but

we lived like this, it’s just that parents gave money to friends until they were paid, this kind of thing happened to each other, that is, to say that it was... there wasn’t a lot of money, yes, of course, it affected when my father finished writing another book there, and there were some fees there that allowed me to afford something, probably a little more, but to say that there was some kind of carefree childhood there, there was a carefree childhood, and i didn’t feel that there was a lack of money or something, something, parents somewhere, something they stayed there, but to say that it was there that they were swimming in gold. car, there, planes, no, that didn’t happen. what was your favorite toy as a child? i absolutely loved and love football. i have been playing football since childhood, first of all, because my dad, he played football professionally,

but i fell asleep and woke up with a football and so it lasted almost until the army, although even after that i played football and ... i love watching, now i can’t really play, my legs hurt, but i love football i love you very much, have you ever rebelled against your parents and how were you punished for it? no, well, sometimes in my childhood i got hit , excuse me, on the butt with a belt, it was like that, not so often, but it was there for something, somewhere he was a hooligan, somewhere something was for my grades they were not punished, there is no such rebellion, there certainly was no such thing. i didn’t leave home, i didn’t disappear there for several days, even as an adult, there was no such rebellion, although i certainly didn’t always agree with my parents, i have a question for you, but

what privileges does an airline director have, maybe you can fly for free, i can’t fly for free, of course, when i fly on a business trip, i fly at the expense of the airline, well, i don’t buy a ticket, they issue me a service ticket if i go on vacation such a privilege that i took a ticket there for free and wrote out a ticket for myself, but there is no such thing, we have a so-called corporate ticket, that is, our employees, under a collective agreement, can afford to fly for free once a year, but this is not only the general director, everyone employees airlines, what do you like most about...

not executive, not proactive, who just came to sit at work, look at the computer, or better yet play with something there, and there is such a saying from my childhood, but... i ’ll go to work, but i won’t work, i won’t leave work, it’s about these people who take up space, it’s unclear why, do you really like to travel, or is it a forced part of your job, of course i can be lying and say that this torments me travel, no, definitely not, i really like mine work, i really like traveling, especially before covid, when there were a lot of them, and i... traveled, i’m afraid to say, well, probably about 30-40 countries, different cities, it’s

very interesting, of course, and it’s for me like, hello, my name is sasha, which country impressed you the most, which one do you dream of going to, but have not succeeded yet, you know, there are a lot of countries that are memorable, probably the last one that impressed me very much, well, here is the last country, we opened the flight. not so long ago in india, delhi, unfortunately, all my business trips, they are there for 2-3 days, it’s not really possible to see the country, so i was only in dally, i saw a little of delhi, i couldn’t go to the famous taj mahal, this is the same island of goa that everyone wants to visit, swim, relax, very interesting, i was very impressed by brazil, we took the plane. another one of ours, brazil, sao paulo, a little bit, a city, this is also

a huge country, a huge history, and i would definitely like to go back, where i haven’t been, where i really want to go, there are a lot of such countries in general, but i’ve never been to china and i really want to go to china, i think that this dream will come true, dear passengers, due to a change in the flight schedule, our flight is landing in the yellow sector. is there friendship between airline executives or just competition? oh, you know, it’s both this way and that: we can be friends with each other in the evening, and swear during the day, fight to the death, sometimes it happens that there is some kind of antipathy, these are people, we are all, we are all people, we can someone, well, just don’t talk or treat each other badly, but there’s just sympathy. there are many of them, the aviation business, it is very beautiful, an airline is generally

a very clean business, the advantage is that people between airlines, between managers, between employees have quite good personal relationships, and competition, well, competition has not been canceled, how busy you are or do you still have more free time than others think? you know, well , you can pretend to be a very busy person, but we are all people, we want to relax, play sports, so i have the presenter has a hobby of riding motorcycles, if we talk about sports, then i have two hobbies, this is tennis, tennis, and well this...

probably my life, my activity with a minimum level of risk, although sometimes it is provoked by a motorcycle or provoked by a car , but i can say from experience that you need to control yourself, and the risk should always be justified, what is an unjustified risk? well , this is an unjustified risk that actually leads to trouble in everything in business and in life. in sports, in everything. what was the most extreme act

in your life? extreme act in my life? i’m probably even finding it difficult to tell you, probably the first question i’ll recuse myself from, i just don’t because i really can’t remember what it is that goes beyond normality, i could have done this, i probably ... i won’t say, we are recording the first refusal to answer the question, do you think you should try everything in life? well, i don’t think that you should try drugs, probably this is the answer, not everything, many, many things in life should be tried, you need to get out of your comfort zone, but there are things that, well, you should never approach them or these people, or some things, that’s what you would like to try, but it hasn’t

worked out yet, well, let’s say i can right away to say, here are a few things that are probably in force. age, i was no longer able or didn’t want to, or was trying to go study nba, i wanted to finish there about 10 years ago, i started to figure out for myself why i should do this, in the end i didn’t succeed, besides, i’m constantly jealous, well here in the strength of my profession, i can go into the cockpit somewhere during a flight and... especially evening flights, when it’s sunset, you’re flying from moscow to minsk, there are such views that you start to wonder why you didn’t become a pilot, and by the way, you may no longer become a commercial pilot there, but you can go to private schools where you can become a private pilot on small planes, maybe someday,

yes, but do you have any hobby related specifically to aviation ? a hobby related to aviation, yes, and many people know about it, in back in ninety-nine, by chance, i started collecting airplane models, model airplanes, these are not the ones sold in stores, you have to glue them there, no, these are solid models, and i brought one of them to the studio, maybe he’ll show you, these are the models i’ve been here since 1999, so count 25. i’ve already collected more than 300 pieces, we have them all on display in our office, we made a special rack like this, and there all these models of different airlines, different airplanes are displayed, standing there, and you can see them there, which one in this collection has the most unique plane, and the most unique plane there is the soviet yak-42 plane, in levrey of

the aeroflot airline. i saved this plane from a fire at the aeroflot office in the city of warsaw, there was nothing heroic about it, but nevertheless , they gave me this model, i washed it of dirt and now it stands in the office of the employer. children, of course, will be able to get into your office if they ever get a job at the belavi company, but now they do not have such an opportunity. i know you hijacked one of the planes from ourselves, let's demonstrate it. i can, by the way.

we have only one in our fleet, i hope there will be more, well, this model is just presented here. ladies and gentlemen, the ground services are warning that we have entered a turbulence zone for passengers in the black sector, fasten your seat belts, and ask a question. i saw your page on instagram, but it’s even connected, your nickname is aviation, i have a question, why do you have the number 134 in your nickname? there is not only 134 in the nickname, there is also my nikupolev 134, unfortunately, probably few of those present here know what a tupolyf-134 is, this is a tu-134 aircraft, a soviet aircraft, just in aviation, when i came, most of my life, i was connected with this aircraft, this is one of

the main aircraft, which we had in the belavia park, there were quite a lot of them, i flew a lot on it, many different stories, a very beautiful plane, an outwardly beautiful plane, one of my favorites, probably, and this is where this niktulev 134 came from, and also a question like this: you have an active page on instagram, do you run it yourself or is someone behind it? is she taking you? it’s a very good question, because they rarely believe me when i say that i run it myself, they think that i probably have there, but advertising and pr matters are just what they do, my page, no, there isn’t a single post there to someone did it, some stranger did it , i do it all myself. igor nikolaevich, do you follow the development of new aviation technologies? yes, of course, without this it is generally impossible, we have a lot of

technology, a lot of software, we were the first company, not an airline, in general a company in belarus, this sales started with us, online sales in general . in belarus back in 2007, already before that you could order goods in an online store and they would deliver it to you, you paid in cash then, then the era of online sales in belarus began with us, precisely with belaya airlines, what gadgets make it easier for you life, which one is your favorite ? oh, well, i actually have a lot of gadgets. i have an iphone and an ipad, they all make life easier, and at home there is a robot vacuum cleaner that makes life easier, no need to go there

vacuuming the apartment, no, i certainly like all this very much, but at work, for example, not at all, however, with one gadget i just can’t figure out why it’s needed, and i really like coffee, my day starts with coffee and ends with coffee, there is coffee at work. a machine that has wi-fi for some reason , well, theoretically, reading the instructions, you guess that you can take it from your phone, make coffee for yourself, you understand that you still need to get up, go get a cup , put this cup down, then pick it up , none the software won’t give it to you, you still have to go, sometimes gadgets become a little incomprehensible and their functions are unclear. why did they put wi-fi in there at all, but i really love gadgets. do you believe that in the future a robot will be able to

completely replace a person, for example, a pilot? i think that in 10 years this will definitely not happen, but in the end, probably, it will be like this, we see already, if 10 years ago, we did not see and practically did not know what drones are, now we are all fine ... let's figure out what it is, how they deliver pizza by air or by land, they do some kind of delivery, it already exists, of course, we will get there, whether we want it or not, including in aviation, planes will already be testing planes without human participation, many people suffer from aerophobia, how to deal with this, i would say, aerophobia is a disease. in principle, a disease, maybe not a fatal disease, maybe you don’t need to worry so much that someone has it, but in principle there are special techniques that can reduce the impact of aerophobia on

a person, or somehow or even remove it, and what is your greatest fear, the greatest fear is always fear for your relatives, for your loved ones, for your family, for your spouse, for your children, for your parents, for your animals, i have two dogs, scary wolfhounds, i’m also afraid for them, that some big dog will attack them, chew them up, that’s really a lot of fear.

a show that will not leave anyone indifferent, as soon as they lifted me up, i looked down and thought, maybe i don’t need it, that i came here at all, please let me in from here, and meanwhile alexander is almost overtaking him, cling on with your hands, come on! well, well, the main thing is to choose your path, even if it is the most dangerous. calmly, don’t rush, wait, wrong way, wrong way, wrong way, wait, great feats, this is a turn, we ’ve never seen such emotions, this is a cossack, i don’t know about sports, i don’t remember when something like this was possible cry, you don’t come to compete in order to compete, in order to win, me always. watch on tv channel belarus 24.

and as usual, marina vasilevskaya became a surdes why was she chosen as an astronaut? marina vasilevskaya, an ordinary girl who came. carried out flights for 7 years, she worked for us for 7 years, when the task became to find cosmonauts in the republic of belarus, well , we heard that there was a very tough selection, there were about 2-300 applicants, including those who asked us at the airline, we prepared , probably, well, more than a dozen applicants, and marina is with another girl, not only

marina. the two of them went through almost all the stages of selection, but they chose marina and they chose a backup, but not from their company, but from the doctors, so they went further, but marina, yes, really the best, says the crew commander, our flight takes place at an altitude of the twenty-fifth question from the purple sector, is it true that morina called you from space, really, really, and i was very surprised, to be honest, i thought it was some kind of prank, because it was april 1, late in the evening, i was just walking with my dogs, the phone rang, and i looked at a number from the united states there america, to be honest, had the idea of ​​not picking up the phone and not answering the call, but when i answered when i heard marina’s voice, i

even... honestly, at first i still didn’t believe that it was marina and from space, we talked for 8 minutes, it really was with the station, a lot of questions, a lot of information, emotions, it’s a pity that it was only 8 minutes, what was the most interesting thing you talked about, and i was generally interested in its condition, we all know that flying into space is such a very difficult thing from the point of view health perspective, motion sickness of people? it was getting bad, and i was really afraid for marin, that this was her condition, and she was laughing, she was in such a mood that it was very difficult to believe that a person who had gone through such stress could be in such a mood in this state, she was in a very good mood in a very positive mood, talking about everything, about the land,

about... the state, about the station, about the crew, there was a lot of information, but i was wondering what the first belarusian would do cosmonaut, will she really become a flight attendant again, well, this is probably a question for marina, not for me, marina is currently undergoing rehabilitation, she is in high demand now, all the teams are demanding her. schools, universities, various enterprises, everyone wants to see and hear marina, talk, ask all the questions that you asked here, the fact that marina most likely, and i’m almost sure, will no longer be an ordinary flight attendant, this is really so, when you have you ever dreamed of flying into space, yes,

the history of my family, it turned out that my parents were very friends with the gagarin family, the first cosmonaut. we certainly didn’t get to know the cosmonaut seyury alekseevich gagarin, because he crashed and died on a plane, but we were friends with gagarin’s mother, anna timofeevna, uh, with gagarin’s brothers and sisters, we very often went to the city of gagarin, gagarin’s family.
