thus, the summer exhibition presents three dozen paintings in the style of realism: the beauty of lakes, forests and residential areas of minsk and stale life comes to life in the performance of the belarusian amateur artist elena moiseenko. i am not an artist by training. i have never studied painting, this is my hobby, passion. since 2018, i started drawing, and these works that are in this exhibition were created in different...

inspired. people will be able to visit the region of azerta until august 16 at october square , one building of the palace of the republic. entrance free. at the olympics in paris, they finally decided to hold swims in the seine as part of the triathlon competition. the results of the latest water tests were accepted as a corresponding requirement. at the same time , even training swims were canceled twice the day before , and just yesterday the issue of canceling the competition was considered. previously. president macron has repeatedly asserted that the river is completely safe for the olympic games, but he never swam in it; the mayor of paris had to take the rap. further sports news, we are on the air at 13:00, see you at dynamo well done, there will be no one indifferent to hockey, this is the promise of zubr commander-in-chief igor ruf after the defeat at the start of the ruslan soley cup. from the soligorsk miner one when the new

competitive year started the day before , the coaching staff of the white-blues reproached their players for being romantic on the ice, a goal of prestige to mickiewicz’s account, the creators of success in the camp of the krats were azhgerey, fazleev and znakharenko. there was a little bit of romantic hockey, that is, we weren’t aiming at the goal at some moments, i wasn’t used to serving a number, that’s what i think not interesting, that is, i know that i am doing what i love, i want to win, it won’t work. just go out and play hockey and then go eat, there won’t be anyone like that, that is, there won’t be anyone indifferent on the team. victoria azarenka won the start of the wta500 tournament in washington with a prize fund of almost a million dollars. the match is at 1:16 of the final. the belarusian beat the owner of the courts, haley baptiste, in two sets. however, it took the former world number one almost 2 and a half hours to achieve this result. both the games went to a tiebreaker, the result was 7-6-76 in the fight for azarenka to reach the quarter-finals, which. now she occupies the twentieth place in

the planetary ranking, she will fight against the chinese yafan, wang is the opponent 73 in the free wta report card.

an enterprise whose territory is 500 hectares and which is three times larger than the state of monaco. there are 60 km of roads and 45 km of railway tracks along it. there is a narrow track and a wide one. naturally, this is a city, it is more. 200 buildings, every urban village still boasts so many buildings structures, plus such a building density, we produce about 3,000 urea per day, 3.0 tons per day, one ammonia workshop produces 65 tons of ammonia per hour, one hamster workshop per hour consumes 80,000 cubic meters of natural gas,

the total consumption of natural gas for the year is about 1, 6 billion cubic meters of gas. and also technical equipment, unique production lines, all this is an open joint stock company grodnoazot. its scale is impressive, which at that time was also quite unexpected if in 3 years it was possible to build a huge nitrogen plant in grodno; it was this enterprise that became one of the leading production plants in the soviet union. nitrogen fertilizers, it all began with the adoption in may 1958 of a resolution of the cpsu central committee on accelerating the development of the chemical industry to meet the needs of the population and the needs of the national

economy. for the soviet union this was a fateful decision. in the ussr period. general chemicalization, the country was in dire need not only of fundamentally new products, its food security was at stake. bet on expansion of sown areas, development of new lands, including cylindrical lands, did not bring the expected result, it became clear that it was necessary to increase soil fertility. agriculture was in dire need of fertilizers. virgin lands proved that even with an increase in these cultivated lands, the expansion of areas, it cannot lead to an intensive improvement of agriculture, first of all, this was proven by the fact that there was not enough water for irrigation, so to speak, of these new

areas, and not there was enough fertilizer. in front of everyone measures taken in the bssr in agriculture, soil fertility was... even the lands of neighboring republics. the work to improve them is extremely important for belarus, and this is much -needed fertilizer. the right decision was made to focus on the state of soil fertility and the use of fertilizers. 8-10 centers of grain was what was collected at that time. fertilizer types, especially nitrogen, were also a problem. there were not enough of them, and the highly acidic belarusian soils required constant liming; this was the only way to solve the problem. nitrogen fertilizer is the most important element for literally all crops that have been

cultivated in our country. in 1970-75 , we used 97 kg of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium per 1 hectare, a total of npc. but of this, nitrogen fertilizers accounted for only 25 kg. this is a very low level, which did not guarantee or ensure high yields. therefore, the most important direction was the creation of our own plant, which would provide our country with nitrogen fertilizers. for the republic, this problem had its own specifics. in the gomel region and there are more brest region. in the vorodonsk region there are more such supisi, this is a slightly more cohesive soil, vitebsk and mogilev are loamy soil and even heavy loamy and clayey soil, there in

the northern side, sharkovshchina, miory, there is very heavy soil, and there these are also certain difficulties, only in... in 1959 , capital investments in this industry in the ussr increased by 57% compared to the entire soviet period, and the regions of the country where the construction of new enterprises was planned, one of them was the bssr. large-scale production was to become basic in the soviet union.

a recent meeting in the state planning committee of the bssr in may of '58 once again ended without results. proposed sites for new construction.

they will be quite capable of receiving energy. why not the capital of the chemical industry of the republic? by the will of fate, the decision was made in favor of grodno. why? because here, firstly, the river basin is closer, secondly, it is close to the border of both lithuania and poland, and this was an enterprise that planned to supply the belarusian region with fertilizers.

in sixty-first , specialists from all over the soviet union began to arrive in grodno for the construction of a nitrogen fertilizer plant. the pace of construction in the ussr, industrial new buildings, was amazing. without the technologies that modern builders have today, giant enterprises were built in seemingly unrealistically short periods. terms, literally over the course of several years, there were

four stages of construction, the first stage of construction began in the sixties, the second stage in the seventies, the third stage is the end of the seventies and the fourth stage is the mid- eighties, the first product that we received in the sixty-third year on december 3 is considered the receipt of the first product on the birthday of the plant. you can argue a lot, talk about the ineffectiveness of the extensive. development, but the fifties and sixties are rightfully called the golden age of the management system in the soviet union, as well as of industry itself. on december 1, 1963, just 3 years later , the grodno nitrogen fertilizer plant produced first tons of weak nitric acid. it became the first product of the future chemical giant. the ussr is a very complex enterprise in terms of

technology and chemistry. for 32 years now, our enterprise has had more than seventy different in complexity, level of development, database, software, and control systems being developed. more than 110 thousand measuring instruments are in operation today. at our enterprise, it all started with one workshop for the production of ball nitrate, no more than 200-300 control devices, here is the order of the numbers 100 and 100 thousand. the first stage of the enterprise was put into operation, construction work was completed, and equipment that was unique at that time was set up. simultaneously with the construction of the plant in the bssr , training began for work at chemical industry enterprises. new specialties appeared in the republic:

chemical technologist, chemical industry technician.

then i didn’t ask for overtime, it was necessary, everyone stayed to work, and the contractors and shift drivers worked for 8 hours, three they changed shifts, they were tough, i worked 8 hours and went, there were no longer 80 repairmen here, it was already as it turned out, maybe 12, maybe eight of them were all set up... it showed up somewhere that didn’t fit together, it’s necessary it was possible to fake, adjust, repair everything on the fly. on december 3, 1963 , the first tons of fertilizer in the republic were produced in the ammonium nitrate department. for agriculture, this

became the starting point for the transition to a fundamentally new level. today, few people think about the fact that a good harvest which the republic has traditionally received for decades, this is not only the heroic work of farmers, it is also the many years of work of grodno-azot workers in the production of various types of fertilizers, the work of belarusian scientists, the academy of sciences of the republic, this was the case when science and production are united. the soil itself changes over centuries, centuries, to form 1 cm of soil, which we have today as an arable layer, it took from 200 to 300 years, this millennium was formed over our soil, to change it today, well, this is not

what kind of soil do we have, what kind of soil do we have, this is the kind of soil we need to work on, but the main goal was set... how can we achieve high yields in gomel and brest, vitebsk and mogilev? in the late fifties, special attention was paid to science and its main headquarters, the academy of sciences; there were serious changes in it, both structurally and in the training of scientific personnel. in 1959 , two institutes were created on the basis of the institute of chemistry. physics of organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry. as a result of the emergence of a whole line of fertilizers. there was a line of nitrogen fertilizers. good, but the time required a different form of fertilizer in liquid form, this fertilizer kaska, production began on nitrogen, it was connected both with the technological

features of cultivating crops using intensive technologies, then they began to leave unsown columns when sowing grain crops, in order to was carried out with subsequent nitrogen fertilizing and the use of chemical plant protection products. the grodno nitrogen fertilizer plant began rhythmic deliveries of the much-needed power of ammonium sulfate, carbamide, sulfuric products acids, productivity benefits in that period, it was precisely done with the help of the scientifically based use of fertilizers, it was the lever that, by pressing which one could only get literally within a short time, historical time, it was possible to reach high, well, good harvests. the introduction of the most modern technologies made it possible to produce not only fertilizers. in the sixties, the range of scientific developments constantly expanded, and the number of

new types of products of the enterprise also expanded. at the beginning of 1964 in the laboratory there was an unusual silence at the nitrogen fertilizer plant, and this despite the fact that all its employees were assembled. with bated breath, they watched a new experiment, thanks to which another discovery was about to occur. zaflab of the academy of sciences mixed the reagents in a flask. demonstrating his new scientific research to colleagues from the factory laboratory. water, alcohol, ether, amines, organic

acids. it seems that everything is the same as what they do. and an exciting moment. instead of the usual phenol, benzene was used as the basis. it was he who gave the necessary result. formation of paleamide resin, from which fiber can be obtained. the silence of the laboratory was broken by applause. everyone rejoiced at the success, their joint success. obtaining coprolactam, thanks to which it became possible to obtain threads and fibers,

turned out to be akin to a scientific revolution. in 1965 , the development of the site under kaprolaktam behind the fence had already begun, under kaprolaktam the first. caprolactam is a derivative of benzene, benzene is a derivative of oil; benzene is released from oil as a waste product. hydrogenation of benzene produces cyclohexane, then we oxidize cyclohexane, we get cyclohexane oxide, this cyclohexane is a production product, at our site they produce milk, we get threads, polyamide and anide and cord fabrics, more than one and a half thousand items of products that cannot be produced, the product line is really the widest, if you like to drink mineral waters and so on, so this is the carbon dioxide that is used to produce national nitrogen, we have this... the product is called hydroxynamine sulfate, this is a substance that is used in the production videotapes, 60s, 70s, the entire

film industry in india was shot on our hydroxine sulfate. to this day, the bulk of global consumption accounts for fiber threads, but the range of applications is the widest, and this is not only plastic, it is packaging film, fiber threads that are used in the production of textiles, carpeting, tire production and so on, that is, everything something without which it is already difficult to imagine our life. on april 20 , 1967 , the state quality mark was officially established in the soviet union with with the aim of stimulating improved quality and...

efficiency of social production. the first in the soviet union to receive this badge of honor was the product of the belarusian enterprise of union significance, the grodno nitrogen fertilizer plant. it seems that nitrogen was famous throughout the entire post-soviet space, well, throughout the world, in principle, in that the quality of ours, our products always remained at their best, let’s say the quality of our kaprolakhtam was, ours were able to repeat it. competitors decades later, but we achieved it initially, here is the plant that was built in the early sixties, it is still a flagship, it produces products not only for domestic production, but also exports its products, apparently, this was probably a wise decision made again on time, the results of this decision are reflected today, today..

another azotchem enterprise began producing much-needed household chemicals, liquid fertilizers, and various types of consumer goods. the time of great chemistry marked the beginning of the construction of large industrial enterprises in almost all regions of the republic, whose products are still in demand decades later, recognizable in the world, and

still among the leaders. grodno-nitrogen. about 60% domestic market, 40% export. we used to cover the whole world. we even supplied to the united states. all the time, when china, let’s say, got up from its knees and rose in size, we supplied a lot of products to the people’s republic of china, we supplied a lot of products to latin america, we supplied a lot of products to africa. is our enterprises, well, are among the best. it's hard to knock us off the leaderboard. back then, it was difficult to imagine what unique products chemical industry enterprises could produce? today these are nanotechnologies, unique materials that are used in defense products for the ministry of emergency situations. modern production is a new era in the chemical industry. if

we talk about chemical fiber threads, then they are used, say, to create fiberglass, fiberglass is now widespread, as in aircraft manufacturing in the same aircraft manufacturing, drone manufacturing or drones there. at the same time, during the years of the fifth and sixth five-year plans , more than fifty large chemical industry enterprises were built in the bssr. magerevsky plant khimvolokno. and for the first time lavsan was produced, and the production of plastics and polymers was launched. gomel chemical plant, producing mineral fertilizers, baranovichi, vitebsk. the role of these comic factories is very difficult to overestimate. this was such an important step that we provided ourselves at that time, we were so provided for the prospect of the development of the chemical industry industry that we still use

it. fruits, and today the agricultural sector operates sustainably, and we ensure food security and food independence, we probably owe it to those who laid in 1965-7, for the first time, for the first time, for the first time, these words apply to every chemical industry enterprise that began its history... in the distant sixties, they still make up a significant part of the belarusian economy and are its pride.
