there, because such a gap, uh, is long and, uh , at a distance, it will not allow intervening in the situation. if, god forbid, something goes wrong here, as they say in such cases, therefore, of course, experiences have taken place throughout my profession, all my life, and so on, but this is not something that should stop me, because i said, this work first. i ask velcom how the process is going. well

, i'm briefly nikolay a specialist in communications, first of all, this is satellite communications. processing information here, well, on it duties include preparing all the equipment of svyaznoy e-e, computer and so on for the upcoming expedition, so now there is a process of rechecking the equipment for checking the equipment of devices for recharging them. if it is necessary to draw up inventories appropriate for customs, and so on and so forth, coding information and so on, that is, a very crucial moment. well, in general, guys, of course, always

look into his eyes on expeditions, because it largely depends on him, and the thread of connection with big land. i am a system administrator in simple terms, so i am responsible for the software at the station for communication. uh, it is satellite internet communication between people at the station, that is, radio stations are setting up their support, working status. well, at the moment, in order to send our expedition, it is necessary to prepare all the equipment for sending this year. i learned this by plane. i am talking about antarctica in 2020 , my friend is talking to me. do you know that there is such an expedition, the antarctic, that there is a whole the center that deals with this and then they had

a question about setting up an internet satellite. and since i graduated from the bntu faculty of information technology, i have an idea about all these things. and i decided to try it. i came for an interview to alexei alexandrovich and he called me to the thirteenth expedition. and now for 2 years in a row she went. come on, come on. i would like to tell a few words about our national pride to the belarusian antarctic station, in fact, the presence of a station in the antarctic. it's not only geopolitically a certain indicator, i will give such statistics in the antarctic treaty system 54 countries today are only 28 of them have their stations in antarctica seasonal or year-round, including the republic of belarus

of small countries that have stations in antarctica this is literally a few. czech republic bulgaria republic of belarus well, perhaps everything. therefore, we have something to be proud of. research began in 2006 . we first landed on enderbe land. east antarctica new coast sea cosmonauts there existed a dilapidated infrastructure organized back in soviet times such a field airfield base, consisting of several. eh, the change houses of the volkovs, so-called by that time, of course, in the seventies - this base was being built. eh, by 2006. this infrastructure has already fallen into disrepair, but nevertheless the first few years. the first 7-8 years. we were based. eh, they didn't leave plans there. and hopes that, uh, a

belarusian antarctic station will appear in this region, the fundamental decision on its construction was adopted in 2013, initiated by the national academy of sciences. this initiative was supported. ah, the government and the ministry of natural resources agreed on funding and since 2015 the construction of the station began, in fact , it was the experience of which i did not have, or rather, it was the construction procedure, which experience, which we did not have until now, is the construction of the station a- a. if you can talk from the wheels, the assembly of the ship was delivered from the design of a helicopter, but they had to be immediately mounted on rare ones in these places, rock ledges and so on, and uh, they didn’t believe it. first object. uh belarusian

tactical station reuse communication control module. installed by four people. the composition of the belarusian antarctic expedition was four people, and this is a serious one of the main complexes that now make up, well, our infrastructure and we needed it as quickly as possible. uh, pick up the designs from the ship. set the ship to leave faster, so that naturally the costs of the belarusian antarctic program are minimal or minimized with from the point of view of transportation costs, we managed in 36 hours for these years from 2015 to 2021. the creation of the first stage of the belarusian antarctic station, designed for arrival and work at the same time, but up to fourteen. e people of the staff of this research staff are medical workers. uh, technical workers

in life support and so on, but the station was originally built with an eye on it. with an account for year-round operation, we put this in priority. i mean, i already said that. let be she will seem hackneyed to someone and not so rich as to buy or build cheap things or structures you need to do. uh, such objects once and for all and for a long time from seriously the safety of personnel is a priority and we cannot risk the antarctic continent is in complete isolation for 8 months a year, neither air transport nor sea transport can get there, therefore, in fact, it’s easier to evacuate the cosmonaut from orbit than a to evacuate a person from antarka within eight months, so everything should be secure. questions why antarctica

is called the white continent can be given several ambiguous answers? uh, the first thing is that the continent has not been studied, even today , despite the sixty-year history of its active study of development, that is, in the mid-fifties of the last century. ah, the most active phase of the study of this continent began with the international polar year, when 12 countries came to antarctica with their national expeditions, and, in general, since then in 1955 continent continent actively. uh is being mastered and studied in the first place, but has remained a blank spot as before. this is one of the answer options or the second option is because the continent is 904% covered. eh, there is an ice cap. uh, scientific hypotheses and versions that, in

general, this is not even a continent. and this is an archipelago. that is, these islands are sheltered united. e, ice cap and this hypothesis has a real confirmation, thanks to the modern possibilities of satellite imagery from space in various aspects. eh, and so on. here, well, the third variant, probably, the answer is the white continent, but i would say untouched, that is, it is actually er, untouched today. e, zapovednaya, the only remaining protected area on the globe, natives from belarus, e-e , participated in antarctic research from the first years of its active development, that is, as part of the first integrated soviet antarctic expedition, which was assembled in 1955.

11 specialists from the republic of belarus participated in the main. they were uh construction workers specialties. they were building the first soviet antarctic peace station, and in february 1956 mirny was raised above this station. uh, the soviet flag is the flag of the soviet union, that is. e, the soviet union then announced that the first soviet research station appeared on this continent, and the participation of belarusians in vkontakte research continued throughout the entire period of the soviet energy expeditions.

a native minsker had the happiness to be born 63 years ago exactly i really like to walk in this place, especially aura was born. here in this house under the spire on the third floor. so i like to always come . here mother served in the headquarters of the belarusian district. here is the father. e in the system of the ministry of internal affairs at that time, then life changed. parents changed, let's say, because of the activity, my mother taught. uh, german, my father graduated, uh, narkhoz, and both participants in the war worked at the minsk automobile plant all their lives. therefore, in our family, this is an understanding of the honor of the fatherland and its defense, especially like any boy. yes, the dream is to be a pilot and

driver, and sailor and so on, but in any case, i did not imagine any calm ones. uh, chamber professions, that is, there, relatively speaking, a doctor or there, uh, a research assistant, a shining laboratory and so on. that is, i imagined my future activity, anyway, in the active phase of constant work. well, the most frequent entries in the diary are from the uh class teacher. i just had notes. uh read books in lesson so-and-so read books in lesson so-and-so you know before very comfortable desks there were, but wooden ones with a hinged lid with this compartment and it was very beautiful. yes, i use this folding compartment on my knees to put another interesting book about someone's travels, adventures, and so on, and read it in class. it so

happened that they offered to do all-around, which, just like the key basic ones, these sports include, the process went great. that is, i was a member of the national team of the republic whose team of the union repeatedly won prizes, won the championship of the union of the republic, and so on i will say. so that i didn’t plan to connect my future with, let’s say, the continuation of serving professional sports, nevertheless, with e. when i graduated from school, i had a decent choice, as a good athlete has a master of sports, that is, i could actually consider any university for admission, nevertheless i chose the faculty of geography of the belarusian state university. eh, linking up some youthful hopes and dreams, but the work is still active, but not

related to being at one point and so on, but it didn’t work out like that in life when uh was released from the walls, and the university was at its disposal. well, let 's just say, they made me an offer for those times, uh, which, as they say in such cases, could not be refused in the end. in 2005-2006, uh, at a more mature age, i came to what i dreamed about , uh, in my youth as a child, this is my favorite work, connected with research expeditions, the family was formed, uh, even when i was finishing my studies at the belarusian state university, here, well, my other half was also my daughter. e their parents by a military family, so

our social circle is not surprising. here it is, nonetheless. uh, today i want to say what to evaluate, i guess. despite the fact that, according to statistics, we thought so for a little about 14 years, probably because of the specifics of my work, i was together. although, it actually started in 1980. there were brides, however, this does not affect feelings and relationships in the family. the first expedition to the antarctic took place quite unexpectedly, that is, to me. the manager came and said gaidashov, get ready for a business trip to the south. i say,

as i again began to list several countries there. farther south, he said, no, he didn't guess further south. as a result, uh, yes, through the ministry of defense, i was sent on a business trip to leningradskaya station, located on the coast of antarctica, west antarctica. and here is a very difficult difficult station in terms of geographical location. climate weather is the strongest wind in antarctica, just our expedition allowed to register the maximum wind gust of 78 m/s. a fifty-cubic capacity from a place, like a toy, moves uh multi-ton objects. uh, heavy equipment and so on. here, well, nevertheless, it was a baptism of fire and let's say so for ourselves. uh, i

realized that that work is the service that took place far from well, separation from the mainland for a year and a half . i felt that she was needed. you know, i'm not afraid of these loud words, someone will perceive them as loud, the country needed her. it was in the country. it was this feeling that was felt, because it was not just like that and the satisfaction works and let's say so it coincided that we

are setting off on a grandiose trip around belarus for sure. many have heard that the geographical center of belarus is located in this region. but not everyone knows that this is the only region. whose name does not coincide with the name of the regional center - a memorial sign in the form of a gate and 1067 is the date of the first mention of the city in the tale of bygone years by professional guides. the local historians on the working floor were using a winch through the door to lift bags of grain and pass them to this beam near the beam. here are such huge tongs, author's routes and interesting places. you know the holy trinity church

immediately from the cornflower blue domes, an architectural monument grew in this place at the beginning of the 19th century, more than 9 centuries have passed since the creation of the unique friske when a person has some unrealistic goal or is achieved, which is understandable in itself. it can always be justified. probably you didn’t finish something, we will discuss current topics with which we we face you every day the amount of money limited checks, please bring, i 'll see what you spend on. so here is the total control of a woman who works as a muse and a keeper of the hearth. she risks that one day. she will cease to be interested in her man, we will teach you how to safely resolve any conflict situations. again, a

person is walking in the base, you need to work with the base with your roots , or whatever, his tree did not catch on. watch the concept of neutralize in the program on belarus 24 tv channel. our conversation and meeting continues in a unique place for minsk - this communication is the value of this object called this center of oceanography. open ocean, well the significance of this object in terms

of educational for children of youth. yes, and for adults it is difficult to overestimate and low bows to give the necessary and the director of this center, alexei azarov, who, despite many years. eh, here he collects such a unique collection. here, underwater marine organisms are presented and, uh, historical stands on the history of the naval of the fleet of the russian empire of the soviet union, the current e of the present time, and so on, including the expositions, but about the belarusians. uh, submariners, uh, military sailors and so on. well, we are friends with this center here periodically. uh, the tradition of getting together with a polar explorer, including, well, as a rule, this is at the end of the expedition or often. we are going to start a new regular

expedition. i think that this year we, too, uh, traditions will not change. i think it's not just pride. uh, those who created the station directly. with their own hands, those who designed it, and this should be a proper development, exclusively belarusian production made by belarus, assembled by the hands of belarusians. equipment filling technological systems and so on everything is made in the republic of belarus beer guards, as i call them, they often sat on tvs, there or somewhere on the benches they often scoff about what belarusian is, serve them there, you know? something there imported foreign, it is better. yes? no, it's nonsense, that's all really. we have us in the field in the harsh

conditions of antarctica. all this has been tested 10 times and so on on myself. so no one would risk neither life nor health, nor in the safety of people, if there were any doubts, therefore the best uh reviews and impressions about what was cut down in belarus, at least, uh in our in our case i. i think that in other directions all these issues are resolved no worse. that's why for our country it's kind of. litmus we can do it we say we can do it we are not just proving to skeptics, we are doing a real thing. the station is built compact built on a fairly modest scale without scope, but it has everything you need for efficient operation and for

safety. moreover, it was built at the expense of a year-round stay. those who visited us at the station are our doctors from the expedition. for example, the surgical module, the operation module, outpatient fashion, are equipped according to the most modern requirements there for the conditions for medical institutions, the doctors who work on our expeditions say. houses sometimes in the area hospitals. uh, we don't see such equipment. which one is here? but that doesn't mean it's, well, uh, simple, here it is, and that's it. this is a reserve just in case, but at the same time we can provide medical assistance not only to belarusian polar explorers, if necessary, but also, if necessary, to russian or nearby ones. e, located within the reach of several hundred kilometers, japan and india, the russian federation and so on. that is, no questions asked. it will be rendered, so well actually there is something to be proud of what is unique uniquely the animals of the

antarctic world is that there are no natural predators in it, so that at least for humans here is the understanding that hmm the animal world of antarctica is personified by penguins, seals, killer whales. actually, a little bit wrong, a little wrong, because uh, we understand, or rather, with uh, we are used to understanding the animals of the world. this is what basically moves on the ground. but just penguins well, of course, killer whales are marine inhabitants, that is, inhabitants of coastal antarctica, and the largest animal or living organism of antarctica. uh, 3 mm in size, a belgic fly named after a scientist who once had it at the beginning of the 20th century

during a scientific expedition. well, as if for the first time, this is a small wingless one that does not fly, it is found, it is like fleas or fleas of the antarctic penguins organize, uh, permanent places of the colony in order to continue the offspring to organize family seals in the coastal zone on soldered ice. uh, they bring up their own young offspring, that's all it's exploring observing our biologists scientists and so on, but here's the thing about penguins. here, i would especially like to stop at this place. yes, very collective, very family, but in fact the birds are here. which ones are needed in

some cases, you can even take on the upbringing of children of their protection, there and so on, relationships in a pair penguins choose a soul mate. here is a couple. if selected, then it is for life further. mom lays an egg. passes on paws and rolls to dad, dad has a special fur bag on his belly. here he hides the egg there. and more than a month of it. you can’t even say it’s hatching to stand, and mom leaves at this time. uh, in the open sea, krill feeding, there are fish back and forth. in the colony where

this poor dad is. exactly on that day and almost at the time when the chick spits out of the face. she comes arrives there with a stuffed tooth with half-digested seafood feeds, feeds the hatched chick dad takes care of. we need this chick and let dad go. uh recuperate. here, then they e, means they organize already, when the baby chicks grow up , they become monthly and so on, they organize nurseries on the territory of the penguin colony, that is, some of the adult penguins go to sea, some of the uh feed through the adult penguins. it remains to surround the chicks with such a wall from birds of prey , which there are skuas, which, so to speak, are not averse to feasting on chicks. here. security is put up and so on, that is, everything is

for real, everything is as it should be, uh. that's why then the strong ones change. muzzles a strong blizzard in groups organize bad weather. uh, they drive the chicks inside, cover them with their bodies from the outside. there remains only one, as it were, the outer contour of the penguins, which, after standing for some time, they are changed from the inner contour by the adult penguins , this is everything, everything is organized by the team. i so demand mustache from my guys the same work of the same interaction. the same understanding without further ado. i said, and i'm not afraid to repeat myself, that a person who remains in this profession, but if not for life, but decides to stay for himself, at least for the duration of the activity. he already clearly understands that he must sacrifice a lot here on the

mainland, including in his personal life. and low bow. in our loved ones, i'm not only talking about my family. i'm talking about the families and loved ones of those guys who year after year. for the past 15 years they have been returning and going on expeditions. let not every year, after a year and so on, lawsuits bow to their relatives and friends, who are not just sympathetic to this, but are probably that incentive. to which you need is it possible to return with that strong rear and, most importantly, with an incentive? even in soviet times, there was a category to abstractly talk about, to be honest, polar explorers who, in fact. they were completely

people who worked for 20 to 30 years every year for six months, or beyond the arctic circle. but this is wrong, these are people with already changed. i would call psychology like that, they could not survive here in society on the mainland. they needed to go back there, they could only live there in that situation in that environment. we have an incentive to return. we are returning we strive to return home, because we know that we have a strong rear, they are waiting for us, they love us and not with someone like that. god bless everyone.

this trip is from the region, probably let the tourists do it. here is our work. moreover, work, with which all life is connected, is a professional activity, that is, a person who comes to this topic. uh, for the first time in some time as a young man or a man, usually and having been once on a polar expedition. even after the first wintering, he must make further uh, inference and make a decision. whether he remains in

this topic, or for some reason he will not perceive his topic, or he himself will not perceive it, he is from this side, therefore, in fact. you can list on your fingers dozens, maybe hundreds of people in russia and belarus who are professionally engaged throughout their lives, well, they have a profession, yes, one of the polar polar professions, because in general this is not a profession. it's more of a lifestyle. this is a polar way of life because a polar explorer is also a cook. this is the doctor, this is the mechanics. this and the research assistant and so on is also polar here, so to talk, uh, about how, uh, how, uh, i feel, it's work. i return every year to soviet times. these were winters. this is a year and a half of work in the antarctic and returning home then, uh, now it's 6 7 8 some cases of months and

returning home to prepare for the next expedition is such a mode of operation. it's been 15 years now. this is fine. there are no satisfied people in the family, but dissatisfied ones. neither, because it's my job. i have always said. i stand on this position, i will never change it. that there is, no matter how trained a professional in his field is here on the mainland. it doesn’t matter if the researcher is a mechanic, a cook, a doctor there, but when he arrives in antarctica, he still becomes, well, i don’t know if it starts, if the groups because everything is different there, there is a mode of work and a way of life and even thinking of the psychology of relationships to each other . uh, to the profession. it is completely different at the root of many habits to change to break in some cases, and so on, therefore, the professional staff of those who

has experience of work, modern in expeditions , has been accumulated for many years, that is, in fact, 15 years . now we have a good bench , both in scientific specialties, and in technical life support, and so on. well, the early years. it was a problem. imagine the expedition stays for half a year and it consists of one, as well. in the best case, two people with experience in polar conditions, the rest are 3.5-8 newcomers, whom you will still lead by the hand for a month and a half or two. uh, like they say to graze protect teach, uh, and so on. it takes a lot of time, nerves, and so on, and not all practice shows statistics show that only 30-40% of those who once visited the polar expeditions on the polar expedition return or express their desire.
