saw here. what is the relationship between mom and dad. that 's why, well, i always wanted me to have such a family, and i never thought that i would marry a belarusian and i never had such thoughts in my head . but simply, when i met my wife, i realized that this is the person who i will build with her such a family, as my family has been living in syria for so many years. you are in belarus, i already understood the mentality, the belarusian people are already belarusian. they are very handy people. even the belarusian anthem begins. we are peaceful people in belarus. very peaceful people, very peaceful people, very calm people. yes, lived e hardworking, he told me with him, i immediately found a general language. why because i myself am such a person, i myself am a nervous person. i myself love to work, and therefore i immediately had a common language with them, we immediately found each other, belarus gave me, first of all, before education. i came here radio education.

i got an education. then belarus gave me bread, fed me all this time. yes , it doesn't work. and most importantly - a family, i have so much family here. belarus is mine now homeland.

the time has come when we count the hours with bated breath until the most magical night of the year, the holiday of which all the kids are looking forward to. and what about adults we are in the berezinsky biosphere reserve, where everyone will find something to their liking, what the reserve lives on the eve of the new year, we will tell and show you alina is not a war, and this is a new year's edition of fashion for culture. the pearl of the belarusian

lake district is located 120 km from minsk, the berezinsky biosphere reserve is inhabited by 58 species mammals, including the well-known european big five bison, elk bear wolf and lynx and nesting more than 240 species of birds managed to restore the number of beavers, which had completely disappeared by the beginning of the 20th century. at the moment, their population is one and a half thousand individuals. today, the reserve is a unique center for ecological tourism of active and other types of recreation. tourist routes of varying complexity and length are equipped here, hiking, cycling, water, horseback, skiing and the biosphere reserve has several museums that can interest tourists from small to large. among them are the museum of nature, the museum of myths and the museum of honey and beekeeping. there is also a

forest zoo. in addition, there are ecological and mythological trails. in 2020, a petting zoo was opened here for its inhabitants. goats, sheep, pigs, ponies, peacocks, ducks, geese, and also the black rabbit, the symbol of 2023. it has everything for comfortable accommodation of tourists who come not only from belarus but as well as neighboring states, as the reserve manages to remain one of the most popular and visited corners of nature. in our country, we learn from its director andrei mikhailovich prokoshin. andrey mikhailovich good afternoon, good afternoon, the berezinsky biosphere reserve is on the threshold of its centenary. how are you planning to celebrate this significant date? well, this date still needs to be reached, indeed, in 1925, a decision was made to form the berezinsky biosphere reserve. then

it was called a little more differently, but that's not less. and, of course, as we approach this date, we look back and look. what has been done. what work is checked. what results have been achieved, are we not ashamed of our period of work? now for our generation. i think that this is, well, really such a milestone in the development of the reserve business. what will you surprise your guests about on the eve of the new year holidays ? hls and people. that's even from the experience of last new year's eve. e. we spent the big new year's weekend on our tours and our guests, both foreign and belarusian, left the

new year's tour, and we thought that these, and the subsequent post-new year's days, we would have fabric. a short pause, everyone will rest, but it turned out, on the contrary, that there was no boom. we had a huge influx of visitors from cities and people came to our zoos in the museum and trails. well, they didn’t want to sit at the new year’s banquets to finish eating olivier, they went to the forest, nature, to animals, to snow and and so on, so we also draw certain conclusions. and of course, we are ready to meet visitors at all our facilities that are prepared today and are waiting for guests, including the museums of our trail. this is our ecological visiting house. this is our delicious cuisine and all. the rest we have. i think that you will agree with me that tourists are quite sophisticated now. they are many, where they have been, they have seen a lot, but still open it . the ancestor to you manages to remain the most popular and visited. e on the territory of our country, among all reserves, firstly, it is never necessary to

stop there and always move forward. and what you do is good, if today we offer our customers trips to nature, and very few today, and security agencies and some specially protected natural areas can offer such tourist trips, then we provide a person with a real trip, and he gets a person buys emotions not only, uh, the opportunity to see such a big black grouse. he he gets emotions from one trip there through the swamp from the fact that he meets the dawn from the fact that he walks through the swamp, which is millions of years old, and we will talk about this along the way. that is, a person not only sees, of course, the goal along the way, he is a lot of information, a lot of emotions, and this is great, and these emotions are constantly changing, and they cannot

be constant, just as nature cannot be constant in autumn and spring and winter. there is always something show in the forest always in nature there are their own, well, unique processes. uh, in the spring and waking in the summer dawn in the fall preparation for peace and winter majestic white peace. uh, we wonder there are winter trails. e, for example, ski routes. uh, the white book of the forest, when our taste guide, a-and skiing , goes along an ecological path and talks about all the traces of animals that are found on the way, i’ll say it’s very interesting. i personally work. in the field of forestry conservation series for about 30 years. i don’t want to say that the results are obvious. raising the culture of people, but for the fact that all the same, this work. soloists of the forest sphere of bureaucratic institutions there are some social advertising, they give results, because just remember some more years

ago 10 or more, how what were the littered forests, how barbaric our brothers slavs rested in the forest, after which they found mountains there and carried garbage and other trailers, and today it is no wonder when people rested somewhere and gathered them in a bag and took everything away, even this moment suggests that people have become really more cultured, and they understand that what is around us is priceless and unique, what do you wish our viewers on the eve of this long-awaited and magical holiday. well, i'm not afraid to be banal, first of all, i wish them health, and the health of our people. this is primarily in sustainable uh, biological and ecological systems that surround us, if we have a healthy forest, if we have enough swamps. and we had clean air, then health will not apply to come to us, therefore, all the health of a festive mood and success in the new year. each season is

attractive in its own way in winter and the berezinsky reserve offers a varied program both for outdoor enthusiasts and for those who wish to immerse themselves in the quiet contemplation of the magic created by nature about where to celebrate the most long-awaited holiday of the year. it is worth thinking in advance of the new year season. i started here in early december, spending my winter holidays in the berezinsky reserve. you will enjoy almost all winter fun ice fishing and skating. on sledges, skis, snowmobiles and winter bicycles, which have a fancy name for huts. what else does the reserve live in the winter, we will find out from our specialist cases of the guide of the tourism department oleg shefarovich. oleg good afternoon. good afternoon. we

are in the forest zoo and right now we are passing near the enclosures with bears. tell us why your bears don't sleep about our bears don't sleep. for one very simple reason, hibernation is for a bear. this is a very necessary measure, because the european subtype of the brown bear with 95% of the food is vegetable food. and bears need something to eat plant food. as you understand, it is not easy to find in winter, so bears produce the so-called fat, that is, they eat. as much as they like, they gorge themselves, accumulate a huge amount of fat, then lay out in hibernation. i wonder what these bears are. they get enough food. that is, they have a balanced diet. there is a lot of everything and for this reason, in fact, they do not need it again. if you look to the right , look into the distance, you can see a wolf. he just lives a couple of spiders. interestingly, wolves are animals. it just didn’t happen, firstly, we have such an interesting thing that he falls on the wedding of the wolves

february 14 is our period, that is, in fact, when we have a holiday of love. the wolves also begin a big partner, love, a gonago head period, it is hormones, but wolves surprise me personally. that's what, as i said, the reserve is a mass of swamps, a swamp, really a lot of 60% of the territory - this is 1.5 times larger than the city of minsk and that's it. it is covered with solid swamps of absolutely all types, and, of course, it grows in these swamps, my love. us berry cranberry sour vitamin c and wolves. they, too, are experiencing difficulties with health. they have beriberi and wolves come in winter, dig out this hook under the snow and dig out a in winter in order to fight this deficiency. we also have a lot of animals in the minsk zoo, including bears and wolves. well, you have here, probably some other wolves we have are the same with us, basically others understand our enclosures with animals that are arranged in the forest zoo. they are designed as a minimal natural habitat in nature. that is, this is the territory that the animal needs in the wild

for life, so the animals that are here live in the army, breed regularly, that is, they have offspring. almost every year, our deer families bring a new deer. it means a rather pleasant sight, because in fact, who doesn’t rejoice, where did we find ourselves now, um, as they say, the devil knows, somewhere in the forest, in general, it’s very easy to determine the demon, as they say, judging by the trees, he says, the christmas tree this is the north palm - this is the south, so it's generally easy to determine here. we are definitely somewhere in the north. so we ended up in the forest. that is, it is ours, and the mythological path is called myths, that is, to find yourself in myths or there is such a rather interesting wrapping spectacle. here every year the shlyafmovka mythology festival is held, where you can take a walk. well, at night on the trails to look somehow everything looks like getting to know the revived myths. here, well, you can meet them both in winter and day and night, that is, when it is comfortable and darling pleases. a third of such comrades in 2016

here you open ecological tropants. we are in the blood of myths. this is the only trail of its kind in the republic. belarus which represents nature through the images of slavic mythology. that is, this is not a path that shows us installations. this is a path that reveals how our ancestors saw this world. this is primarily the world order and their perception of the nature of the surrounding world, that is, slavic mythology. it is actually much more interesting than it might seem, because if you ask people around, they know a lot to take river myths, but when it comes to slavic mythology on veles. usually i consider our methods, which are much more extensive volumes. what activities does the reserve offer in winter, winter is quite an interesting time, at least the main activity is this is the winter fairy tale, that is, you can look at it with completely different methods. this is a walking tour in the form of various ecological paths - this is also a ski trip. eat. we have such a tour of the bio-vet behind him. forests, of course.
