i love my job, i’m here on saturday, and then on sunday, here i’ll celebrate my birthday, belarus.

we have, as the locals say, a pike fish, there is a large stone there, and this stone is located in the lake itself, and it is visible here. a little from the lake and they even say that it is growing, it is probably increasing in diameter up to 5 m, maybe even more, there are also different legends about this stone, well, believe it or not , everyone seems to have their own story .

local biological reserve orekhovsky near the village itself, reserve status purchased in 2011, such is the absolutely untouched nature here and... if you think about it, the volume of the reserve, the area is 1690 hectares, these are meadows, these are these bushes, this chokeberry, which people plant, buy somewhere, these sprouts, and it all took root here on its own, seeded itself, i remember my childhood, there was water everywhere here, completely, here is orekhova, and such a swampy area.

there were hummocks, they remained, i jumped in rubber boots, it was very difficult to jump over as a child, because the boots were small, knee-deep, and you had to run to to wrap that cow, the task is necessary, because my grandmother is old, and my brother and i are younger, well, these hummocks remained, there were no chokeberries. i have it now, it helps with blood pressure, i came here one day in the fall, it’s so beautiful, there are a lot of black berries, large, large, i remembered my dad’s blood pressure was high, i think i’ll bring handfuls of these,

i brought them home, i’m walking, and my mother says where you took it, i said, where, near the lake, it grows, there are beautiful bushes, a lot, now in... there was a quince somewhere, and i see a small bush, there is a small bush, there’s a bigger one there, and not only, probably around the lake, quince grows, better than lemon, even, it’s blooming now, what a beauty, the flowers are simply amazing, this bush here seems to be small, no one behind it... doesn’t take care, from such a small bush grows a whole, beautiful, so natural, untouched, unpruned, you take the fruits, yellow, large, and cut them into tea, it’s so like that, it seems like in

the wilderness of this, borderland, it seems, and a village on on our map, here is belarus, the village is literally somewhere here, here, here, here there on... the red sons, everything worked out for me here, and i don’t regret one bit that i stayed in this wonderful place, in the agricultural town of orekhovo, you can say about me, where i was born, i came in handy there, and in no way i’m no better off

in big cities, capitals, districts, regions, my place. my little homeland, for me the sweetest thing in the world. orekhova, there are many legends, the name of the village itself. one of the legends says that there was some kind of landowner of nuts, the second says that there was a hazel tree here, and it is remembered about 100 years ago. there were a lot, the first mention of the village, a written mention, was in 1546, but, probably, the village itself, it was formed much earlier, because

its historical past is very rich, the village survived suvorov’s times, when there was a battle. rural, rustic, it is beautiful in its own way, i don’t regret one bit that i didn’t go to the city and realize my potential here, i graduated from orekhovskaya school, entered

the pushkin brest pedagogical university, graduated and returned, went to teach. to my native school, having worked at school for ninety years third to fourteenth year, was elected chairman of the orekhovsky village council. and i am the chairman of the orekhovsky rural executive committee, i will try to justify the trust that my fellow countrymen have placed in me. travel is not only that.

it’s dangerous, look at the project, the route was built on the belarus 24 tv channel. new horizons

for mutually beneficial cooperation are opening between minsk and baku. the parties also plan to create a joint production of medicinal and veterinary drugs, mixed fertilizers from azerbaijani nitrogen and belarusian potassium. today, business makes a significant contribution to the development of bilateral relations. let me remind you that the task is to reach the level of mutuality. the company began supplying its products to brazil, india, and turkey; the export plan was exceeded, and the july volume was sold out. alexandria is preparing to gather friends again, this year the date is. the festival coincides with the folk calendar on july 6 and 7. 22 regions of russia have already confirmed their participation, from

was very inconvenient to get on foot to the neighboring village, voltuzh, for worship, for easter, and we all dreamed that we too would have a new, good temple, a temple, this old one was burned the germans in 1943, the nazis destroyed everything, the entire village. on the site of the old temple, people buried local residents who died during the great patriotic war. in the ninety-first year they began, which means that the population itself, as it were, with the help of the chairman of the collective farm, father anatoly, then he anatoly was not yet father, he lived in voltusha, and they began to collect some funds in order to build it.

lived in oltush, then, when construction began to head the temple, the parishioners invited me to head this construction, i already have four sons, belarus is for... for me a second homeland, this place, which is located on the outskirts of the village, a favorite place for our boys, they like to run here, look, look, and

this is our history, todot, of the times of the great patriotic war , it reminds... of those terrible events that stood here are the invaders' troops, and the partisans were literally close, because we live on the border, shatsky, shatsky district - it's literally a stone's throw, and the border is nearby 50-100 m from vereves, from drochev, from these pillboxes, no matter how scary it sounds , they fired at the partisans, because well...

it depends on the person, at the moment, this social activity, it is aimed at the development of our village, because all the conditions have been created, but i want to create even more. on the territory of the orekhovsky village council, we have a local biological reserve, orekhovsky. this is wild nature, so natural, untouched, here is nature created by human hands, it is also incomparable, just, you see, the gardens are blooming, in the spring in autumn, when there are already fruits, it is very pleasant to be here, the garden was planted by a large family, the father is the owner, and the children ,

four children, they help, and you can see... the result of the work, it’s very nice to look at what has been created, a person, if he wants, then he can also do a lot, and with his work he achieves great results, a path that is familiar to me, a familiar lake, my dear, with familiar from childhood, these incomparable places in orekhovsk, orekhovskaya land, orekhovskaya lake, i’ll catch fish, maybe crucian carp, go to my mother’s, make a pickle, this is a pickled fish that not everyone

knows, but in orekhovsk it’s popular among those who try it ? you just cut off your fingers, there’s a little breeze, but still it doesn’t spoil the mood, whether it’s cool or not, i’ve been fishing with my dad since childhood, and my grandfather with a seine... he caught fish and was a foreman over the fishermen, well, that’s a special love for the lake, various fish, including pike there are big ones, there used to be crayfish, there were a lot of crayfish, i remember in childhood, it’s just that up to

50 to 100 kg you could catch crayfish, there was simply an abundance of them. i love boating, i know how to sail on boats myself, you can even swim for hours, everything is so familiar, real, biting, biting, oh, crucian carp, handsome, oh, how can i catch it? oh my dear, what a beautiful fish, how beautiful! well, it’ll be 150 grams, i caught a palm’s worth of crucian carp, such a handsome guy, that’s it,

the fishing was a success, i’m standing on the shore of the lake and i see a village, almost the whole village shines through, that’s how everyone at home is, our fellow countrymen love who i am. after work, when there is some kind of mental or physical stress, you come to the lake, sit, relax, in general it’s cool that we have it, the lake itself, it’s big and famous not only in the maloricchy region, but our orekhovskoye lake is known in general in the republic , we are proud of this, that we are known everywhere, very much. fish, even stocking of fish is carried out constantly systematically, there are also animals and

birds that are listed in the red book, herons and gray and black, i saw a white one i saw a plant like this in our lake orekhovskoe, it’s aldravanda vesica, a plant that is listed in... a book, such an endangered species, but we have a lot of it here, why is it interesting, this plant feeds only on insects , local fishermen say that in fact this is a lake, if you do not take into account the sopropel, it is very deep, even reaching 16 m. there are many legends, i know, that’s what they say about the name itself. lake, lake orekhovskoye and in general about the village of orekhova, and presumably they say that what happened before, the village, then

there is a settlement of these primitive people, and then a lake, or at the beginning a lake, since the lake is called orekhovskoye, and the village of orekhovskoye itself, well, it’s as if there was probably a lake at first, because there was a glacier that... melted, turned into a reservoir, this is several thousand years bc, and such primitive tribes of the aryans settled the area near the lake, it was from this root that the name lake orekhovskoe came, and that means the settlement, where people already began to settle near the lake, was called orekhova. i'll prepare the marinade, marinated fish, orekhovskoe, a native

dish, very tasty, i caught crucian carp, cleaned it, washed it, if it’s crucian carp, it’s a must, so i make small cuts so that the bones are small, when... frying the crucian carp they generally come out, then i cut them like that in small pieces, but it depends on who likes it, who comes to visit, or even gets somewhere in the nut, they treat them to marinated fish, then they ask what kind it is, it’s fried, it ’s some kind of boiled fish, that is, well such an original dish, it is simple... pressure, what we need means salt, we salt it, well, whoever likes it, i like

salt on different sides, well, we will have to fry, fry, so today i want such good weather, it’s so beautiful in nature, so on the fire it will have this smell - a fire, such a connection with nature, and this dish, it will be even tastier. than at home, probably in the kitchen, we salted it, then we take the flour, roll it in flour like this, put it on a wire rack, put the fish on all sides and put it on the fire, today i cook it alone, when i’m cooking somewhere with my family. and often sitting near the fire and even while cooking something you talk

about life in general. about how lucky we are that we are in orekhova, that we have everything of our own, it’s wonderful, the nature is so wonderful, there is beauty all around, the birds are singing, this year my nightingale has arrived again, here is our nightingale, we say, who is coming to us, here in the yard, he sings, literally pours out, so when one year he didn’t come, we... were worried that where had our nightingale gone, that he hadn’t arrived, well, this year he somehow he started singing early, beautifully, i go out and he’s singing, it’s just such beauty, like this, we’re frying the fish, but in the meantime, i mean, i put in, uh, some water, you take ordinary water, you pour it

into a saucepan and boil it. the fish is already ready, so we take it out, put it in a pan, then take it - if there is a lot of it, then you need to lay it out nicely in rows, in order to then pour the marinade over it, while it’s still hot, it’s absolutely necessary to let it cool down, in general. here 's what makes marinating so special, that it's imperative that the fish cool down and the marinade cools down. i take green onions, chop them so that a layer of fish put it in a saucepan, a layer of onion, a layer of fish, a layer of onion, in order to pour it in later, well, i

already do. so we pour it here, so for the marinade you will need bay leaf, pepper, salt, well, vinegar, i have here, so it’s vinegar for, well, everyone’s taste, we take the marinade, mine has already cooled, i pour everything into the pan. so we add bay leaf, well, to taste, and pepper, peas, allspice, you can also use ordinary pepper, well, some people add dill, i don’t like it with dill, that is, this is how i cut the green onions, you can chop the dill, we also add vinegar,

which means, well, i... take more, i like it more, i add, well, four spoons, maybe two spoons, one spoon, and we have the marinade ready, the fish is ready, this fish is fried in the marinade , this is our orekhovskaya pickling, this is the taste of childhood, that’s what you can say. i don’t understand at all those who say that even in the city they often say that there is no possibility of development, what is your development, i want to ask the question, what do you see as development, after all, development and how, when a person is realized, is complex, this is not always calculated by material benefits, not

always calculated by some kind of work, it doesn’t always matter where you work, it’s possible, a person without education can be a good tractor driver, for example, on a collective farm, in agriculture, like ours there are people like that in the village, and if you work well, you get a good salary and...
