uniqueness is perhaps the most accurate definition that characterizes the library as an object and activity that takes place here on a daily basis. it's even routine. and what is unique is the preservation of the universal fund of documents for our descendants. first of all we get still get necessarily literature. that is, everything that is published in the territory. e of the republic of belarus, it enters the national library without fail. plus we receive uh, print work published by our residents. yes territory in the republic of belarus, we also monitor and try to acquire everything that has been published about belarusian figures and in the belarusian language further. we purchase literature and carry out subscriptions to periodicals, so absolutely uh, international defense documents

with our colleagues and other countries. now we are in the repository of the newspaper fund. here behind my back. you see roots familiar to everyone since childhood. and we must say that we keep. only from the newspapers of past years do we receive daily, sometimes twice a day, fresh translations. here is the library we are opening for readers at 10:00 in the morning and at 10:00 in the morning in the newspaper hall you can see all the latest newspapers that came out that day, most of the people, in addition to what comes here for knowledge from literature for information in the broad sense of the word. uh, they come to chat. here we not only read books, but also communicate here. many different events take place here. the department of cultural entertainment activities is part of the socio-cultural center. the department is engaged in the organization and preparation of cultural events proper, presentation actions, performances. concerts, large, the whole palette of cultural and mass works. at the same time

, the department is engaged in paid services within the framework of cultural leisure and cultural entertainment events and programs. this is for children during school holidays, as well as new year's eve, we had a bible night in april , which marked the beginning of events for the centenary of the library, and about 4,000 people were at the same time in the premises of the national library, belarus in the national library of belarus five galleries, about 200 presentations, book and art exhibitions, 30 programs of cognitive inclusive excursions and quests have been developed. for now. e, 47 international agreements have been signed with cultural and educational institutions territorially. these are mainly cis countries well, of course, there is an agreement with the libraries of turkey egypt europe china and indonesia there are projects

that we organize together or in which the national library of belarus participates, for example, these large-scale projects are a. eurasia golden collection project this project was proposed by the russian state library, in which the national library of belarus participates. this project collects electronic uh copies of documents that are valuable and that are important to the state of the commonwealth of independent states. national library. one of the leaders in providing electronic copies of their documents, the formation of an electronic library. we started by digitizing documents. e on vinyl, moving to a new building we got uh, modern technical software complex for sending all kinds of documents about which there is no library. we strive to obtain the most complete

collection of national documents in electronic form. to do this, we cooperate with libraries, museums, archives and other information institutions, both in belarus and abroad. and, of course, uh, prompt service to our users. with the use of network technologies, the volume of the electronic library today is 640,000 documents. this is the biggest a collection of documents in electronic form of its own generation among the country's library institutions, in order to gain access to this entire array, it is enough to come to the library and, in fact, at any workplace. you can access this, uh, electronic documents, of course, to the modern reader. er, you need remote access, so the library e has implemented a number of projects aimed at providing access to certain collections. so, for example, on the internet portal. we have an ebook collection. belarus 14-18 centuries. there is also

an electronic collection of books by modern belarusian authors, which are from the library fund, which are aimed at popularizing the musical heritage. internet portal of the national library. on average, 125 visits per year. thousand users from 170 countries of the world the most active participants from belarus russia kazakhstan poland the united states of america today about 200,000 people are registered in the national library of belarus the procedure for obtaining a library card is simple and understandable, for to do this, you just need to have an identity document, not necessarily the republic of belarus or any other country, we enroll in the national library from the age of 14. in fact, at the request of the educational institution. we can record we used to have 68 children, the library was written down to the youngest of them. as far as i remember for nine years , the most respectable citizen visiting our library, well, is 92 years old. the national

library of belarus is a brand of the country's visiting card. on this unique territory with a quality mark, they work with a quality mark, people who love what they do are the secret to success. the special library is my work, which i like, it is very diverse. everything is combined here. as for working with information, in general, working with information. i love. so, probably, not only a place of work - it is already a hobby and a poly of interests and, to a certain extent, a rather large part of life. she is space. it's always m-m nice creative atmosphere. these are your like-minded people, these are people with whom you are comfortable working and not only working. i'm on i go to work with great pleasure. it can be said that i also return home with great pleasure. this is probably happiness, i like to come here, and i like my feelings, my involvement, so to speak, in eternity.

hello, i would like to wish our viewers to get comfortable, the excellent composition of experts in this issue. i welcome our guests. thank you for taking the time, and in the second part of the program, russian public figure sergey kurginyan is known to be in touch. so what awaits you and me,

satisfying meaningful conversation security today is the number one issue with this and let's start on monday, alexander lukashenko met with the new general council of ministers, let me remind you that belarus is chairing the organization this year, but i would like to start with this fragment. we look, if someone thinks that there is a conflict between ukraine and russia, this is not our conflict, that we will sit quietly somewhere, nothing like this will happen. the time will come, it is literally not far away. here it is tomorrow, when this time will require to be determined to take a certain position. i i am not saying that it is to the detriment of national interests and so on, but with all our allied shortcomings. we will have to clearly define our policy, our line in order to act. i suggest, probably, and your experience to this was pushed together together, always easier or easier such a frank and honest message to our

partners in the accident. what do you think, did everyone hear? first, i'll tell you about what, from my point of view, the head of our state was leaving when he sent this message. i think that it came not so much from an appeal to solidarity with some moral feelings. how much he uttered the simple truth that it is impossible to ensure security alone in the modern world, if we draw a historical analogy, then the thirties of the 20th century, uh, in some ways resembled the current situation, and the ussr urged by all means to create a unified security system in europe if it was created, then the wehrmacht generalstadt would hardly have decided on such an adventure, because he understood that the united forces of europe of the soviet union were much larger, but they preferred sit out in their national apartments. somewhere they played their games, they got what they got, and today we have a situation similar to

the need to unite in order to meet all the challenges, and the challenges. we are really close to the third world war to the beginning of the third world war in order to find the challenges to give an adequate response, what else do i want to say about this, our partners in the csd need to understand, uh, a simple thing, that the goals of the collective west are not small countries in the post-soviet space, their authentic the targets are russia and china as major geopolitical competitors and they hit these targets using such a favorite method of anglo-saxon geopolitics creating a one-way loop. well, that is, along the perimeter, creating a hostile environment and suffocating in this hostile environment, unleashing conflicts at the borders. uh, they set up military bases there , provoking chaos, which will inevitably spill over into, uh, the territory of russia, and there will be chaos, among other things, among the partners in the dkb,

which borders on russia in this sense. once again, i want to emphasize my point, a security. not for someone not for someone else's uncle. this is for yourself, for your people, and only together. we'll be able to provide it. alexei well, it's really involved. now we will see that last year was such a test of independence , first in kazakhstan, then we saw the armenians and the azerbaijani conflict, where it is very difficult, of course, for us the situation is on the one hand. armenia is the members of the dcb on the other hand, azerbaijan is such a traditional one for us, and a big partner. here it was very important not to aggravate the presence of an accident, then is understandable, do not resolve the situation. there the task is different, but from the point of view of hearing this message that was voiced in minsk on monday. as you see it, you know, we still have to understand that in reality the cst is a union of sovereign states. and those who are fighting against us are large corporations, industrial banking corporations and they have an a plan for the next 15

years. this is the destruction of sovereign states. uh dive them uh, in a state of chaos. e. complete destruction of any constitutional system of any government agencies of law enforcement agencies, uh, and. uh, hmm dive. here the population is just such a very severe socio-economic crisis. and when the president says that, uh, tomorrow this challenge will come, the challenge is just related to the confrontation of sovereign states with their those corporations, if we do not resist, and we alone will definitely not be able to, uh, resist their huge, and their assets uh money supply, but together we can resist and save our world, and most importantly, keep the world in order. eh, completely different. not the one that is now trying to impose a large corporation. i suppose to national elites of these countries. ah, those who own large capitals, because

the russians roughly showed that these young capitals, no matter how big they were, they were not the same. double players in the big arena quickly indicate their place, so save your capital when you go beyond your national jurisdiction, if you are not a sovereign, it is extremely difficult, perhaps this is also a call to the fact that times have really changed now igor what do you think, but let's so our opponents and even i would named enemies. here is. in general, what our country has a little less hmm is unity. despite the fact that, of course, there in the west they also swear about how many weapons to supply e to ukraine e, how anyone sees the fighting in from the point of view of national interests, but there is some kind of only thing there if such unity with our side, even if we consider the csto. well, let's just say that there are certain questions about this unity, and this is not the first time we have. uh, hmm, not the first time. the president says that in the csto we must

be all united, and we are not the first time. even, probably, in this studio we are discussing to whom it was a message, and whether they will hear it, and so on, maybe. the time is coming, perhaps, alexander grigoryevich is talking about this, when there is a reason to revise the list of participants in the collective security treaty, maybe to include someone new, but there are many who want to, because there are countries that understand that they can cope with the western threat alone , but it is impossible, maybe some countries will wish. eh, leave this union, and, therefore that from the point of view of the military, yes, and political economic it is very important to feel that your partner will be with you in any situation about leaving. yes, we are now in the chairmanship, knowing the style and spirit of belarus and, in particular, alexander lukashenko what is called not on my shift, i agree here, but a matter of public discussion. perhaps already so long overdue. here is the csto, as an organization, what can be done, well, not

declarative, but really working . what decisions should be made so that this organization still has political and military dial? even more to the level to which it was planned, and andrei petrovich, his military point of view, is a military expert . yes, we heard another very important settlement, despite the fact that the contexts are now the most unfavorable and one could refer to it and say that well, okay, let's put off for better times the solution of some tasks that can be tolerated, but belarus became the chairman and the president said about it, i will quote, but the most difficult tasks are ahead of us, for example, here i am repeating the words of the president. we took a risk the presidency to try to solve these problems that we have, and the caucasus of central asia we have problems there. let's try to resolve them and unite the organization as much as possible. hmm, a difficult task, but is it doable at all now this year , or are we just the main thing to start this path, and then it will follow further.

you understand, this is most likely there , the very main premise that the president wanted to talk about, in theory, as if everyone understands that yes, if we are all together, we are much stronger. well, in practice, everyone trying to pull the blanket over himself anyway, firstly, if we are talking about the csto, it is quite such, well, an organization that is geographically very strong, well, it is located in almost the entire eurasian region. so, accordingly, what worries countries, for example, central asia , worries to a lesser extent, well, for example, belarus well, and vice versa , what is happening today is great. this is understanding and talking about the fact that you won’t have to serve time. here you need, the main thing is to understand at what stage you don’t have to sit out, because each of the republics is members of the dcb. he perfectly understands what it means to support a special military operation today. it is to immediately fall under the ax for the collective west, these are immediately harsh sanctions, which, moreover, cover all

spectrums of the absolutely vital activity of the state, both external and internal, and , accordingly, whether any state is ready for this. and most importantly, we need to understand, really. do we need those states that are really directly involved, as it were, to one degree or another in this armed conflict. i mean the republic of belarus the russian federation do we need it we talk a lot about hybrid warfare. that is, today's actions are largely based on indirect actions, so we are limited in obtaining some modern technologies. we are limited in obtaining some resources that we do not have, perhaps we have the opportunity to receive these resources through these countries. maybe this is not a direct military assignment. maybe it will be just a dual-use or civilian destination. there we will figure out how good luck to attach it. maybe it really is. this is a way out exactly there, which allows us to bypass sanctions , among other things. but as for the actual use in terms of military force, well

, by and large, the military did not need much political will in order to unite us. well, as the events in january showed, in january of last year we will need a little time for this , about one to three days, so that we can organize this organization and our main strength. first of all, the collective forces brought into action and efficiency. i think everyone saw it. that is why it is unequivocal to say that we really need to unite today and oppose the collective west, or we still need to find other inputs and approaches in order to influence this west , the process, indeed, the president’s message was really not just the right one, but he was still later and argued by these all his words. he's bound really need to decide who at what stage will really join, let's go further then there was another guest about minsk whose, uh,

visit to the belarusian capital caused serious irritation in the west. of course, i mean the head of the hungarian foreign ministry, peter, not only did he dare to call the european parliament one of the most corrupt organizations in the world the day before his arrival in minsk. so here in minsk, with a belarusian colleague , he says that sanctions - it's wrong to discuss peaceful tracks in ukraine. they took and agreed on a cooperation program for the whole 23 years old and what is most important, you see, in the arrival of the hungarian minister, everyone tried to find symbols, some kind of designation, symbols. uh, moreover, the head of the foreign ministry, tak , indicated that his visit would definitely cause sharp criticism from the outside. ah, european countries, uh, anglo-saxon, like a glomerate, but uh, the question is what did he continue to pursue

? economy in production. well, we will do it, and we, in principle, do not care about your irritation. and that's just such an independent. eh, the position of independent politics and annoying they do not obey brussels does not obey it was possible and said a number of countries a number of ministers. ah! and what is the question? but the head of the foreign ministry is also the head of the external economic department, that is, his main task, including the solution of economic issues, and the question arises. and hungary, without supporting the sanctions policy, and the european union actually receives these resources at better prices, can cooperate with belarus with russia and other countries eurasian space and thereby solve their national economic problems. they have lower inflation, and production is working.
