the city of zhudino has always been famous for its masters of decorative and applied art, but even here vladimir borisovich stands apart. firstly, due to his originality, because there are no more masters of this kind, mosaicists in zhodino and in the entire republic there are only a few, and secondly, due to his high productivity, because despite high energy costs and material, financial issues, he makes them more and more every year.

i have asked myself many times: where does this desire to create and give beauty come from? probably, it all came from my childhood: my parents, my grandmother, they spent long evenings knitting, embroidering, knitting, this craving, it has probably been going on throughout my entire life, our ancestors used to do it, now we do it. without a past there is no future, our history is cultural values, this is what shapes a person's consciousness, where he grew up, where he lives, what country he is in, therefore only we, the slavs, are engaged in handicrafts, which give people beauty, only we, such a hardworking people. the beginning of the nineties

, such types of new types of cultural institutions were created, when ma crafts, it was the time of perestroika, the time people had nothing to eat, they stood in lines with coupons, took clothes for themselves, food, but still that love and soul of people, it remained, and i wanted our traditions, our historical past, it was not only preserved, but also developed, without a historical past, without traditions there cannot be a full-fledged nation, people cannot live without it. what are you guys embroidering today? we are embroidering beregina for the beregina holiday, which will be held in june. we have it in october. in 1999, i was offered to head the state cultural institution

oktyabrsky house of crafts. and for 25 years now i have been its head. i am a patriot of my country, a patriot of my business, because what. i love it, guys, and what you will do here in the workshop today, with all my heart, with all my responsibility i treat what i do, and of course, i direct my team to this. in 2012 we received the status of a legal entity, we had the opportunity to involve folk craftsmen, namely in the village, five creative workshops, which are led. masters, craftsmen, because not only to teach and train children in craft traditions, but we also involve old masters, nosbets, who, from personal experience, pass on the technique making, for example, the same

towel, when we go on an expedition, we look for our grannies who could tell us something, she is always with us, a person always has a personal relationship to his business, she somehow in her own way... leads, a little strict, but in a kind way, a little demanding, but in a good way, despite such modern trends, still the craft is very popular now, now everyone is trying to put on an embroidered shirt, walk in a straw headdress, hang some kind of clay decoration on their hand, since it is in demand by people, it means it is important, i am very glad that... we have maintained this fashion, this is what distinguishes us. i wonder what you are doing here today? today we make fakes, like this, swan. today , nine creative workshops operate in our house of crafts, seven for children and teenagers and

two amateur associations, this is a talisman, which revives talismans and makes wedding paraphernalia, and another... one amateur association of loops, by the way, girls, i am now gloves, i am already thinking, on just in case, maybe someone there takes, which is engaged in charity, this is an association of knitting enthusiasts, women of completely different ages, professions, who knit for premature babies, we had one problem, we had nowhere to meet, we knitted at home, but to get together, knit, distribute threads, exchange some new patterns, collect a parcel. for our babies we had nowhere, of course, i turned to tatyana vasilievna with a request to help us with this, so that we would have the opportunity to gather at the basis of our district house of crafts. tatyana vasilyevna responded with pleasure, and what's more, she became our active participant. we knit

things from pure wool yarn, which later warm and stimulate the nerve endings of our premature babies. when i knit a sleeveless jacket and socks, i always think about the good, about what will help this child, this thing that i will knit with my own hands, will give him health and he will grow up to be a good and worthy person, a citizen of our country, i myself am a native of the town of oktyabrsky, here i was born and i am proud that i live here. i was probably lucky in that when i graduated from the mogilev cultural and educational school, i had many offers to stay in mogilev, you know, i am rooted in my native land, i was drawn here

because my roots are here, my ancestors lived here, i wanted to do a good deed for my small homeland, not only to give people joy, but also to be here... and to captivate everyone, to involve them in the creative process, here in our small village, everyone to each other brother-in-law, we are so close here. people, and even if suddenly some trouble happens or help is needed, then of course everyone strives to respond, how are you, okay, okay, everything, how is your health, i am infinitely glad that i have my rear here, my own support, who i am now, i owe to my parents, they invested in me ... simu of what parents who love

their children, who really love their land, could probably invest, but the time comes when parents become weak, old, and of course well, our support is important to them, i, as a devoted daughter, always find a minute from my fast-paced life to help them with words and deeds, and in general i just can’t get my head around it when i leave my parents, elderly, infirm, unattended, it’s first of all inhumane, they are our sons and it’s our duty to still look after them, my work is my calling, so work really doesn’t leave me, even at night, even at night, when i sometimes get up to drink water, some kind of creative thoughts, when in the morning i... bathe, then of course i make such a plan of action for the day. the peak is still

what i and my team have achieved. in the seventeenth year we became laureates of the special prize of the president of the republic of belarus for spiritual revival. today in our house of crafts there are two masters who have the title of people's master of belarus. three masters are members of the belarusian union of masters. and we, of course, do not slow down our development, we continue to work, go towards the intended goals, develop, involve masters, our children to creativity, and of course, to participate to show their october district.

in belarus, in my opinion, there is a very rational and correct attitude to what is called the law. of course, laws must be observed by everyone, but there is a nuance. the head of state, for example, once said the same thing, sometimes nedozanov, a hurricane passed through belarus, and it is necessary to quickly repair buildings and structures. they began to announce procedures. for the selection of contractors, as a result , the contractor has not yet been selected, the work has not begun. there are two ways, the one that is written in the laws, that is to agree with everyone, hold a tender and so on and so forth, the one that is dictated by logic: it is raining, people have no roofs in their houses, they are bargaining, this is the desire to put logic in emergency situations, above some papers, this is one of the reasons why alexander grigorievich is a leader, and not just a politician, he is ready to take on... responsibility along with risks and regularly does this author's project igor turai propaganda watch on

the belarus 24 tv channel.
