encounters, this is the sin of drinking wine, this particle of relics that arrived to us from greece, the answers to these and other questions in the spiritual and educational projects on the belarus24 tv channel. i am often asked : where do the cossacks in belarus come from? the belarusian cossacks are still a phenomenon, even if something had touched them, then... i think the cossacks would have joined the people's militia. with what heart do you watch these persecutions of the orthodox church in ukraine? the cossacks are the knights of orthodoxy. god is in our country, he always helps orthodox people. and in real life does otaman wave a saber? otaman said, it is necessary, so it is necessary. cossacks line up until the last day. and we still haven't asked, what kind of cossacks are you? i found my great-grandfather among the tsaritsyn cossacks. the common thing is the orthodox faith, which unites everyone. cossacks and

tell the commandments, which the cossacks also observe. hello, the program "say, don't be silent" is on the air. in the studio are svetlana smolonskaya and victoria popova. and today our guests are otaman of the minsk district.

don't worry, but be afraid, you be afraid, and you me don't be afraid, i won't hurt you, don't worry, and also asked for kazakh, truth for the people, there will be truth on earth, it will be this way, for my kazakh friends, so that for my obashli, one day now.

you fear me, you know, you don't be afraid of me, i won't hurt you, and you don't worry, be afraid, you know, and you don't be afraid of me, i haven't touched you , well, of course, you can look at this endlessly, but this is the first picture that comes to mind, that comes to mind when we talk about cossacks, right or? we have associations, right, when a cossack owned, like this weapon, let's say, in combat conditions, it is even impossible to approach it, not only from the front, but also from behind, because it seems that it is so easy and free, but in fact, a saber is a very serious and vulnerable weapon, because professional cossacks back in the zaporizhian sich, well, later managed to cut the enemy in half, can you imagine? some kind of blow,

what force and what power is invested, a combat saber, by the way, weighs 800 g, imagine, 800 g, well, in principle, not very heavy, yes, but we understand that of course in the modern world that flanking, it's called the fashionable word flanking, it's a big element of the show, but if you use it as a combat weapon, then it won't seem like a little, you're right here, but have you ever had to use a saber as a combat weapon, no, more like...

can you tell us in more detail what kind of association this is, is it more of a movement or an organization, well, no, it's an organization created in 1995, which included, well, probably, a lot of cossacks who lived at that time on the territory of modern belarus, i'm in this i came to the organization in 2002, and well , i was appointed to the ataman position for the first time in 2004, so this year i have been an ataman for 20 years, this was the first time i was appointed, and then it was like an elected position, then they choose an atoman, well, and the first time it happened like this, and how do you understand, why you? i don’t know, i came as a centurion, a centurion, i came to the organization as a centurion, and who is a centurion, this is translated, as they say, into a military rank, senior lieutenant, yeah, yeah, so it’s small, well, although in

the cossacks it’s a fairly large rank, a sotnik - you should have a hundred cossacks behind you, well, i understand, well, probably, maybe you just don’t want to tell us something, maybe there are some professional secrets. no, well, not that professional, well, i don’t know, because well , first of all, like when i came to the organization, we were fixing a car at one auto repair shop with one, let’s say, person, we started talking, and he turned out to be a don cossack, and we talked for 2 days, on the third day i filed a petition, the car was fixed, yes, of course, i filed a petition, he told me gave a recommendation, the second recommendation was given by the marching one,

how many cossacks and cossack women are there in belarus today , who are part of the belarusian cossacks? i can say approximately, because let's say approximately. when i came in the fifth to eighth year, it was the heyday of the cossacks, and the number of cossacks reached 1.00 people, but now there are no more of course, now there are somewhere 150-200 people, well , because 150-200 in general or in each district? no, in general, because well, you understand, roughly speaking, it was me who came 20 years ago, people were here, even older, 20 years have passed, literally this year. we buried the chairman of the council of elders, he was 90 years old, last year he was still with us at the service in the temple and carried out the cossack service, imagine, the cossacks are in the ranks until the last day, so due to the circumstances, well , the old guard leaves, you do not see a new one,

it appears, but few and no matter how we try not to take everyone in a row, this has already happened, we have been through this, so when you recruit everyone indiscriminately, nothing good comes of it it turns out that we think that it is better to have 10 normal, good cossacks, whom you can always rely on at any moment, than to have a hundred of them, but they will be like, yeah, give us a description of a normal, strong kozhak, let me give you a small example then, just two weeks ago we were in rogachev, we were asked to clean up after a hurricane, after the consequences, to restore order, there was a cossack... well , a burial vault, a spring, a font, and everything was blocked up there, and 14 cossacks arrived, they restored such order that people later said thank you, even on the same day, and i was interested, i just started asking the cossacks, well, let's say, uncomfortable questions, i said,

listen, do you have nothing to do at home, you see, almost everyone said the same thing, and toman said, it is necessary, so it is necessary, well, probably, here is the characteristic, and do you have ladies in...

common for all cossacks, regardless of what territory it is, well, common is the orthodox faith, which unites all cossacks, and the cossack commandments, which the cossacks also observe. and what distinguishes? well, probably, that each, being in his place of residence, performs a certain service, someone is engaged in agriculture, someone breeds horses, someone performs, let's say, guard service, someone somewhere else, but each cossack finds for himself how this business is to his liking, yeah, but the belarusian cossacks are still a phenomenon, what do you think, after all, the cossack blood is hot, and we belarusians are such softened people. i am often asked the question: where do the cossacks come from in belarus? look, there are many examples, under

bohdan and khmelnitsky, there were cossacks here, as they say, during the first world war , there were units stationed here, not belarusian, though, but they were stationed here, during the great patriotic war, again, cossacks were present here, during the first world war , nikolai even issued a decree, if a cossack found a girl, he liked her.

they laid flowers at the victory monument, that is , you do not remain on the sidelines and tell us more about our big state historical holidays on victory day, do you have a unique cossack chapel, where you conduct prayer services. this video yes with its coverage, is there not enough spirituality in modern society, what do you think? spirituality, perhaps, but i would say, maybe there is not enough kindness, understanding, mutual understanding, because when we start talking about this, for some reason we always remember our childhood, for some reason then people were kind, having survived the war, having survived.

that's where the question comes from, no, it's not that few people need it, because well, here's a simple

banal example, people also come to us and want to join, so they come right away asks the question, what will i get from this, and i answer you, nothing, on the contrary, you will still give something, so that as they say it will be good for everyone else, not everyone is satisfied with this, not everyone passes this test, well , you know, we have listed only not... the girl's heart will beat in the delight of feelings not

for me and the girl's heart will beat with the delight of feelings not for me not for me holy gardens. in the distance the grove is unfolding, there the spring is more sunny. meets, he will sing not for me, there in the nightingale meets sleep, he will sing not for me, well, this is certainly something, that will remain for centuries, yes, what can we deny

culture, this is a huge layer of songs, which is specifically more...

that now you are saying that there is to the topic, and well, in general, our age is such a material spirituality decline of interest, but i see an absolute growth of interest in songs in all song shows, maybe you also notice this, yes i notice, why when cossack groups perform, they come here, i even went myself, here the kuban cossack choir came, and we

will not be sad, mr. ataman, do you like surprises, nice. yes, well then pay attention to the screen. hello, dear svetlana and victoria. hello, respected gennady arkadyevich. the cossacks have a slightly different greeting. great, dnevali. and every time the cossacks hear the answer. thank god.

"cursed thoughts, but in general everyone sings songs, but these ones are sung more often. we didn't talk about the benefits of public association, well , we only hinted that everything is done by ourselves, you have very proactive and responsible guys, but i remember our conversation with dmitry, he said that he even psychologically very

helped, it is precisely participation in your organization that immediately speaks, somehow the brains fell into place for a man." maybe even better than any service to go through your school, we take cossacks, not necessarily, so that they are hereditary cossacks, we accept, but we have, uh, candidate experience, which is mandatory to pass, we have it for a year, and after passing this year, we do not take everyone, we take some, we do not take some, and candidate experience for many, well, we decided so, begins with the ship semester, so we go. to the cossack chapel and work there, restore order, we do something, we build something, and you know, it happens, as i say, random people, here he appeared one day.

say don't be silent, subscribe, ask questions and offer us new interesting guests, we are in touch! meeting amazing people, immersion in their profession. my name is mikhail pasmartsev, i am the head of the scientific department of the pripyatsky national park. the ecosystem is designed in such

a way that the violation of one of its components will inevitably lead to the fact that all the others will change. and now we are with you we are on the territory of an open -air museum. this museum is a territory with a huge number of historical exhibits. i am the deputy director of the republican landscape reserve. our work involves round-the-clock work, responsibilities for the protection of nature, which cannot be accommodated in a certain time frame. all the heroes are absolutely different, what unites them is the desire to achieve the best result. first of all, i want to convey the need to protect our nature, unique, because in the same europe there is no longer there are still such dense virgin forests that we have left in belarus. our mission. to preserve nature as it was before human intervention. many people love belarusian environmentally friendly products, i value this, i am proud of it and want

the national park to grow and develop with our efforts, and we serve as an example for the many people who come here. watch the project one day on our tv channel. a native of menka goes to the village to find out how it is better. cities, you are a real modern belarusian guslyar, yes, you have five children, yes, i was really drawn to nature, i just realized that nature is my priority in life, so i basically gave up everything, i already missed this open space in the city, i missed nature, you studied, lived and worked in moscow, then at one wonderful moment in your life you had to return here to your historical homeland, to look after your grandmother, after you... converted your parents' house into a stable, now you save horses, why horses, after all, other animals also need help, to each his own, well

, by and large horses - this is such a disease from childhood, let, what can i say, the only thing that relaxed in me is something somewhere down there, everything that is here cheeks, in particular the entire speech apparatus, eyes, spine, everything for some reason tensed up. from the village, watch on the belarus24 tv channel. on air is the program "say don't be silent", our guest today is cossack colonel gennady zhuminok. gennady arkadyevich, but there is another big important work that you are doing. do together with your comrades, these are search operations and reburial of found cossack graves, well, let's say, putting them in order, improving them, let's watch a short video about this

activity, and you supplement it with your story, a historical event took place the other day in the belarusian village of ruchitsa, exactly 100 years later it was possible to find out the names of two cossacks, brutally tortured here during the first world war, for a whole century the circumstances of their death were covered in mystery, the grave... of the martyrs is located at the altar of the assumption churches, there were no names on the monument, only the date: september 6, 1915, indicating that the dead were from the siberian cossacks. 100 years later, the identities of the soldiers and the details of their terrible murder have been established. in samargoniya , a grave of a don cossack was found in the city cemetery. it was, however, in a deplorable, abandoned state, as evidenced by photographs taken by eyewitnesses. only the inscription on the fallen on... stone was clearly legible, here lies the ashes of a cossack of the first hundred, the third don cossack regiment of the krasnokutskaya stanitsa terenty yezhov, died april 21, 1902 on 24.

work on the restoration of the burial. in one several months, the cossacks of the minsk district led from october days upon completion of the work, all interested parties gathered for the consecration of the grave, which acquired a dignified appearance. what can you tell us about this activity? well, what can i say? the amur cossacks approached us with a request to find the burial of the amur cossacks.

we could not at one time simply as go calmly here life somehow could not even sleep, we were worried, well, how is it that the cossacks died and can't we find anything anywhere, and we started, as they say, to dig around, andrey korkotko helped us, in the end our joint efforts yielded the same results, we came to the point where we learned some of the information, he learned some of the information, then we put it all together and learned the names, this is poor nikolay spiglazov nikita, well, and then when we learned...

they once erected a monument to them, well, they erected it, you understand, a long time ago, in the fifteenth year, again karkotka only gave us the name of the village , that's all, he says, look, try, maybe something somewhere, well, we went to the cemetery, we went looking, to the villages, we found two old women, they showed us the place where the cossacks were buried, we arrived there, there was some bush, some thickets,

yeah. why don't you grab your tool, we went, as they say, little by little, little by little, but it started, i'll tell you, back in 1916 we got the information, you see, it's been 10 years now, and we 're still doing it, well, because we're doing it ourselves, independently, we immediately put up a cross, we put up a cross with names, because we also found names, but it seemed to us that it was not enough, and we decided to improve this mass grave, we installed a curb there, as they say, now we are laying it in paving slabs, well, so that it would be beautiful, because this place is already, not only is it included, it is in the register of military graves, they have already started to take there - excursions about the first world war, when they go , like, they go by ford, as they say, they go by hand, they stop here and also, so we want the grave to look decent, that's what they are included in the register of military burials, that is, it means that this confirms

that we are going, we will... the right way, because a visible commission came, looked, found out, compared everything and included, so far they have included in the register only the village of ruchitsa, these two cossacks, and kharki four cossacks, but besides them there is also tirenti yezhov, whose preservation we also restored, just last year spasenkov grigory also found the burial of fulvark smyk, we also oh, probably spent two years driving, searching, searching, but we found it. yeah, thanks to the belarus 24 tv channel, our program is watched not only in belarus, we hope that the names that were mentioned today in our studio, maybe, will ring a bell for someone, we will receive comments from relatives of all the cossacks that you found, well, in general, it is of course a miracle that you managed to find living witnesses of those two grandmothers, it’s just that i don’t know, it’s just who and who is helping us, because even

the last ones... last year, this storage, we also put a cross there, we found a guardhouse, but it is old, it does not move, we say, we will bring you in, you just show me where it is, and it. place, here in this place we installed a worship cross, which illuminated, as if the cossacks were buried, they showed us , they say, father alexander, well, and now further work will be done to find out who is buried there, although there is information, though

small, that then the day before a siberian regiment of cossacks arrived, which with a bayonet strike drove the germans to the opposite side, so far only such a small information, that is, the cossacks, most likely siberian. but we will continue to search, and we still haven’t asked, which cossacks are you from, i found my great-grandfather, among the tsaritsyn cossacks, yeah, there is an order about his transfer to the caucasian line there, and then everything is lost, and how did you end up in minsk, i was born in minsk, my grandfather moved here, strelka province from there, it turns out, they somehow moved, moved, well then all the same...

here is the girl who completed this video series, it seems to me that she just doesn’t have hands, here together with sabers, and it seems to me that svetlana is already ready for'. yes for flanking, do you teach this, can vika and i learn at a conscious age like these girls, yes, yes, yes, yes, the main thing here is regular training, so that, as they say, the saber really becomes an extension of the hand, it becomes so, when you already feel it, it will be very easy for you, i went to smolensk, there was a festival of cossack culture, all the first places were taken by girls, of course, it is nice, these are young people, they they reach out. they like it, i welcome it, that's why we don't have such a restriction that

we don't accept girls, although of course, men should be standing in the front rows, but sometimes there are girls like that, well, we 've already said that this is of course more of an element of the show, these videos that we watched are also from festivals of cossack culture, they are from the russian country, but in most cases , young ladies came to you, showed such videos and said, i want to learn how to do this. doesn't want any abnormal revolutions,

what are going on, well, we didn't have any particularly big powers, but nevertheless , the cossacks traveled around the republic of belarus, not only in minsk, but in other cities, in support of the president, patriotic car rallies, yes, you have, i lead, well, in principle, you don't support these ideas of coups and never supported them, yes, i think, even if something had touched upon it, then... i think the cossacks would have gone to the people's militia, and i wouldn't have sat at home, that's for sure, i think so too, it's just that when i was preparing for our meeting, i i remembered such an interesting fact: in the early nineties i was on vacation and working in a labor camp in the stavropol region, well, we all remember this, the beginning of the nineties, a hard time, it was restless, the police could not cope with the rampant crime and they worked patrolling the streets then, well, such voluntary ones, well , patrols, i don’t know what to call it correctly, well , they kept order, helped, and you know, it

worked, because, of course, when a cossack on horseback in uniform with a saber, with a whip, he is a different guardian of order than a policeman, and this acted from both sides, on hot, let's say, stavropol guys and young belarusian ladies who broke away from their mothers, well, that's why it was like this, such a cooling shower, both sides received it, and well , how do you evaluate such an experience in... self-action? positively, because i think, yes, the cossacks have found their place, they must protect both families and people, the people, as they say, and the country, and how else can you fight debauchery in another way, by the way, i'll tell you a story, we have, well, you remember, one year the satanists said that they will burn our orthodox churches, it happened, and the police turned to the cossacks, and we sat with them in ambush for a whole night. we sat there for a night and not alone, we were sitting at father

igor's, the joy of all who grieve, we were sitting there in ambush, they explained to us the tasks, how we should act, what we should do if suddenly, well, this was probably 7 years ago, this is serious, because we even went through instructions, we were not sitting alone, we were sitting together with the guys from the special forces, as they say , they explained to us, because how they act, so it's dangerous to even come close, they can just usually put out their eyes with a lighter, so with them too. let's explain to our viewers father igor, who is this? father igor krostylev is a wiper of the orthodox church, but he is also the spiritual father of the belarusian cossacks and the minsk district as a whole. he himself is from the cossacks, there were cossacks in his family, so everything he does, everything we do, everything is nice. it's probably hard to imagine that our streets would be patrolled by vigilantes, yes cossacks, azaki why, why is this and today, yes, yes, yes. where in the posts, for example, as they say, the cossacks serve

together with the police, one policeman walks and next to him two cossacks in uniform, this is during some festival, this is on weekends, yeah, what a beauty, you need to go to the post, no, seriously, on weekends, well, and during festivals there they also serve, but every weekend, because they work weekdays, and on weekends they go on duty, great, let's take a short break, i remind you, we have a telegram channel, say, silence, subscribe, ask questions and suggest guests. we are in touch. the program say don't be silent is on the air again , our guest is cossack colonel gennady zhaminok. gennady arkadyevich, well, we talked to you during the break, you told us an interesting fact that you went to novocherkassk, please tell us what kind of trip it was, if we can talk about it. last year, well, at

the beginning of the year, the cossacks, with their circumstances, decided to help, as we can, those who are in... are in combat, having collected humanitarian aid, collected, as they say, by the whole world from all organizations, collected ton, your humble servant together with the cossacks with two, this is koshin, nikolai kryushtsov, georgy, so the three of us went and brought it, they were so surprised and grateful for it that they simply did not expect it, but the next day after our arrival there, help came from the red cross, help came. from kuban, but nevertheless, the cossacks of belarus did not go unnoticed, because everyone was so pleased, because together with the products, there food, medicines and other things, we brought three bourgeois bags, on which we wrote, to the cossacks from cossacks, but they did not expect belarusians, why did they not even know that there are such, yes, no,

why did they know that there are cossacks in belarus, but they did not expect, apparently, that as they say. that you will turn around and also there you said there was a ton of everything, and how did you get there, a big minibus, yes we want to show you and our viewers another video, and then we will discuss it be afraid, you do not be afraid of me, i will not touch you, do not worry, be afraid, you are afraid, and you do not be afraid of me, love... work, love, love, strain, hey, with our ataman no need to bother, love, brothers, love , love, brothers, life, hey, with our ataman,

no need to grieve, well, with ours too , no need to grieve, look and the boys want to say: lyuba, well done! well, ah, we took it from the internet, this video, of course, it is not from any of your events, but for what purpose, in order to ask, how do you work with young people? you know, in the recent future, we collaborated with the zhodno boarding school, with orphans, even together with our own, well, special purpose lynx, we organized star games for children, we organized lessons for them there.

at least they will be ashamed, because you did nothing bad, on the contrary, you wanted to do the best, well, we already found out that you know how to handle a saber, you said that you own this weapon, well, in life, the chieftain waves a saber, how balanced you are, hot-tempered, in work in life, in such cases, even when they tell you, no, you can’t do this, you don’t have a pedagogical education, well, you know, it happens, i can say sharply, in general, a balanced person, yeah, but sometimes. anyone can speak there, there are no restrictions, and sometimes they swear so much that you have to limit them somehow, and what is a cossack circle, this is a cossack circle - this is when the results are summed up, well, let's say,

the work has been completed, a new leadership is appointed, this is the chief of staff, the atomic? as a child, and what is your motto in life? well, for a cossack, if something needs to be done, a cossack looks for opportunities, the one who wants, the one who

doesn't, looks for a reason, yeah, yeah, and the family one is not a step back, not a step in place, only forward and always be together, well tell us a little about your rear, who is your family, well my wife tatyana ivanovna, let's say, at first there were some frictions, but then she still - resigned herself, as they say, understood that you can't change a cossack, a cossack is a cossack, as they say, she already treats this calmly, normally perceives my absences, departures, as they say, she understands that i'm not going somewhere to fool around or something, but we are going either to help someone or to do something, or as they say, we hold some events like this, because we are invited to moscow there for a circle, we also go to skavarze, as they say, or some other events, well, we meet with the cossacks, we do not isolate ourselves.

yeah, it happens once a year, every year, every year, you have such a test, elections, in general it is not easy, yes, of course, every year to confirm your worth, yeah, yeah, you have to prove something somehow or not, or are you going to, no, i read about the work done, everyone speaks, yeah, and then, if they elect, well, nogaika, hands, pulled a couple once to the ataman, and so that he doesn’t forget, wow, yes, yes, it’s a tradition, such a tradition, yeah, and so on, yes, and so on, atamay, well

look, and we also looked at the photo, the cossack oath, that’s the essence of this ritual, the oath is, you see, when a person comes to an organization, he didn’t just join some club, here we have a paramilitary organization, and if you don’t swear in front of a line of cossacks, let’s say, you don’t give your cossack word. that’s what ’s called the cossack word, in the presence of, as they say, cossacks, ottomans, clergy, after that you kiss, as they say, the cross, you kiss the bible, you kiss the banner, and the priest blesses you for this service, because sometimes when the service takes place in churches, priests very often repeat that the cossacks are the knights of orthodoxy, they are the defenders, well, not that we are alone, not alone, of course, but as they say, they... also treat us very well with respect, so this is most likely such a big responsibility before joining the organization, so that you understand the full

significance of your act, that you came here, well, to do something, well, like the officers had, the oath was to god the soul, the heart to the lady, life to the sovereign, honor to no one, yes, the same, and how are you today with what heart watching these persecutions of the orthodox church? ukraine, the soul hurts, of course, all this is unpleasant, yeah, very unpleasant, unpleasant, but do you have some hope that this is temporary, but i think that this is temporary, anyway, i think, victory will be ours, it will not remain like this, especially in our country god, he always helps orthodox people, and we today we are convinced of this, of course, look, how many centuries have passed, but orthodoxy and orthodox people live, although it seems like so much has happened to us and it doesn't matter. yeah, yeah, well, and we wanted to ask about the cossacks, in your soul it is forever, forever

, it is life, it is my life, the children, grandchildren, wife already know about it, they already know, if grandfather is going, then it is necessary, and why didn't you involve the children, missed, missed, missed, went to all sorts of public, well, yes, i was very busy, as they say, the children growing up, do you share with your grandchildren, as always happens? grandchildren are more beloved than children, children, or maybe it's the same story, as you know, with land, there people only begin to understand over time, begin to appreciate true values , to want, at least there, but it seems to me that now many people want, for example, to have a dacha and go there, at least to take a breath of fresh air, to get distracted, because we live in the city, there is a constant rush here, and you go out into nature, there you are in no hurry, everything is measured for you, everything. systematically everything is good, well we are convinced - that your zen, it is so correct, you

spoke to us very measuredly today, although you said that you have a hot temper, we were very pleased with you. good luck to you in your good deeds, may god help you. thank you, and i hope for our future meetings, i think not only me, but also, perhaps, the cossacks will be invited, and you will also communicate with interesting, good people, definitely, and today we, victoria popova, svetlana smalonskaya, say goodbye to you, until the next broadcast. goodbye, gennady zhuminok is speaking now, i wish everyone good, robust health, a good mood, take care of your families, and i wish the cossacks unity, unification, tolerance, respect for each other, love for everyone, and may this love come not only in the cossack environment,

but throughout our entire state. prosperity! love to the cossacks, lyuba, lyuba! gennady arkadyevich, but according to tradition, we will ask you to leave us, our viewers, some kind of wish and your autograph? for a strong, prosperous belarus, lyuba, lyuba!

economic indicators now in the usa approximately the same as the great depression of 1929. over the past 15 years , the us national debt has doubled. 34 trillion dollars, how are they going to get out of this situation, this is printed dollars, which is not backed by anything, yes, that is, in the region of 2 billion dollars are printed practically every day. quite an alarming bell for the world. economy, that is, today the americans are interested in unleashing even more conflicts in the world, we see, to prolong the conflicts that exist, including the middle east, the same thing they want to prolong the war in ukraine, at the expense of this , to support its economy and its dollar, a recipe for these speculative movements, this is a strong economy , a national currency, we have no right to make a mistake, but if you turn off this road,

which we have been going on for 30 years, that's it, there will be no chance to rise, so firmly hold the line and go to the intended goal, this is the only salvation in this raging world in which we now find ourselves. the project is objective, do not miss new releases on the belarus24 tv channel.
