by these cities, their beauty, their architecture and not so long ago, my sister came to me. a year ago, in the spring it was already very warm, of course , when you come from moscow, it's still winter there. and here spring is already starting to bloom. this is incredible and plus hmm the atmosphere plus the nature of belarus conquers absolutely everyone belarus is sick of all those who have been here with me, in fact, from the bottom of my heart. and they don’t even compare with some other countries, because here there is some kind of unique atmosphere. unique people. very friendly, very hospitable, very clean cities. this notes absolutely everything, and delicious cuisine, of course, is also important and nature. here are storks, of course, well, it captivates everyone's heart, of course, i fell in love with brest with all my heart and soul. i feel at home here. eh, because i live here already. well , long enough yes, almost 5 years and for i

know his every street. i know every house. i know these people. in fact, brest has become for me the most dear, very dear city, and i always regret, to be honest, i think that i will have to return to belarus someday people. just unique it really is, and i say, without any flattery without any pathos, i am always amazed by these people with their altruism. first of all. i travel a lot around the country in the brest district in the brest region and everywhere i came across people who, with an open mind, do business in an hour, without any additional finances. this is a very important thing they do, from the bottom of their hearts they invest all their possible resources there , often it does not have support. yes, no support. well, they just get sick of doing it, and it captivates me. and in fact, belarus is based on such people. i

get acquainted with them, everywhere the museum, we go to some museum. this is the director of the museum. this is some ordinary person. it's uh, mp. this is a public figure. people put their souls and hearts into the cause that is necessary for the people for their country. and this is actually very expensive, and for this i love and appreciate the belarusians. first of all, of course. we are glad to welcome you to the russian center for the science of culture, this building has already been in existence since 2014 . in general, long enough in the next year we will celebrate the tenth anniversary of our center, which of course we are very happy and glad that you got to us, that you look at our location. look at our possibilities. get to know us with my colleagues and find out what we do and what our main tasks are and in general about us, probably get to know us as people with ordinary people boy, the

next day, curiosity, he found in the living room, which hadn't been since i settled in, a strange city visitor who seemed to him so angrily pasted now yesterday's songs of this visiting boy. we also have a cinema. it's a concert hall. we have a library. maybe it's not quite big, but nevertheless, cozy a lot of fiction literature in the first place, we get this literature from moscow as well. we pass it on to our partners. these are sharp grodno schools - this is a museum. this is a public organization. these are libraries. we are trying to equip. e them and what is now eh, modern russian publishing house has a lot of good books. here in first of all, children's books come to our library, and children and adults can come

absolutely anyone from the street to sign up to become our direct partners, even friends often. by the way, those who come to us first for books, and then offer us some of their events , projects, there is such a story too. you can take this book. you can come to us or write us a letter to ask us to hand over these books, something teachers often do. accordingly, today we received an application from one of the schools so that we donate books. in in general, it’s like this, uh, the work is very interesting and, most importantly, it is in demand, because you understand books are always in demand, no matter how they say that now they may be reading less and children are more sitting on gadgets, but they don’t read. no, a book is always very popular, every child wants to take a book, especially a new one, when it still smells of printing ink open see pictures breathe in its aroma and enjoy russian literature, of course they give gifts and very often

our platform gathers artists. here, one of the gifts that was received from a russian artist to a contemporary artist who now lives in belgium . he has ideas there, this is this picture, it is so unusual. avant-garde. i would call it that. she mars uh the main task. so that we hang this picture, because it has some very positive powerful bright energy. here, on the second floor, she meets you at the russian center for the science of culture. here we have. uh, there are several classrooms and educational and methodological center, including where children study russian, and prepare for admission to russian universities study history one of our classes, where children gather here every evening directly study russian language prepares for admission to russian universities as you can see, all the necessary equipment is here.

well, how are all our rooms? and it's also multi-format. we often gather here with the guys. we participate in round tables. we participate in some international projects. connecting not so long ago to a forum, for example , on the battle of stalingrad, which took place in several countries, and moscow was the main platform here. sometimes we also have small film screenings. proritative for the guys from the colleges, in general, this is such any of our sites. not only that, but any of our offices, it has many formats, and we work. e with the guys on these sites in absolutely different ways on absolutely different topics, not so long ago we had a media forum on the literacy of the e guys, uh, and on their work on the internet. e, in social networks and forum. e, he occupied absolutely everything from cinema halls, and e. all the offices, the guys sat down, journalists worked with them in the section, bloggers worked with them. this was also our first experience. very interesting and i hope that it will continue.

now courses in the russian language and history are running at the center, since the difference in the russian and belarusian programs is insignificant, but nevertheless there are guys in order to fill this gap, those guys who plan to enter russian universities, they they use this opportunity to come to our courses, and every year we have more and more cadets, which, of course, we have. we have very good teachers who have been with us for many years, who have been working together for many years, so i hope that ah, they will get good experience here and good knowledge in order to implement them in the future. this is a class on the study of the history of world history. the history of russia the history of belarus since our history is closely connected, the guys here fill in some gaps that they have in the history of russia, there are probably more and a little more gaps in world history. this is one of our working rooms directly. now we are in our press center. here we gather in

this space with our partner journalists, bloggers, who want to discuss with us some of their questions, problems, some of their proposals. here we gather with our team directly discussing many working issues and problems, live communication takes place, and i received the appointment in moscow was the head from belarus moldova of ukraine at that time it was still ukraine with us and was directly involved in this work. after returning. having worked from chisinau. there for five years i am very glad that i have been working in brest for 4.5 years. i hope that i will work here for some more time, because the plans are not ending in a huge amount, they are only increasing. the scope of work is growing . with in general as a whole in the region in the first place. he is engaged in the promotion of russian culture, of course, there are a lot of projects. this projects in the city we have a lot of partners. and in general in the region. yes, these are exhibitions. these are

some movie screenings. this concerts are a lot of projects, probably very complex. even now to cover everything not so long ago in the twenty -first year, i always talk about it, because they consider it a kind of our brainchild of our team. in brest, we made a ural dedicated to major gavrilov on the wall of one of the houses on gavrilov street. to my defenders of the brest fortress, this is sort of . our memory is our pride, and we wanted to make this project, including with in terms of attracting young people. we have another very interesting project for young people - this is, of course, our quota company. the russian federation provides for international students. every year more than 30.000. quotas we are talking about now only about the budget, that is, uh, guys from other countries can go to study in russian universities , of course, the most deserving, the best guys and get a good education there. russian education has always been quoted, it has always been popular all over the world. i want to note

that for belarusians this quota has grown significantly. literally, four or five years ago there were 70-90 quotas in total for the entire republic this year 1,300. quota provided for applicants. this, of course, is great, and we are glad that the guys can go to study at russian universities in a completely different direction, because the first question, which, of course, is always passed. and where to go? which university, which direction, and all these nuances begin. i want to say that all directions are represented in this dense company from creative, relatively speaking, vocals yes, ending with medicine, as she working guys register on a certain platform education and russia and this is the site where they go to choose the direction that they are interested in and after they have poured in a few of their data, yes, the directions that they want there faculty they pop up a list of universities which this or that program is represented by these universities can be a large number and the entrant must choose six. universities

by priority here in belarus we are implementing the first stage of this quota company. that is, we select the most deserving guys, we send a package of documents with them to minsk, where a working commission is being held with the participation, and a representative of the russian universities of the ministry of education of the republic of belarus , my colleagues and i directly participate, and after that, a package of documents with these 1,300 guys goes to the ministry of education of russia and is distributed to those universities, which they have chosen for themselves, the competition certainly exists; it has always existed now. uh, a little less because the quotas have been increased, but the guys are using it. we want to wish them success, so that they enter, so that they fulfill their dream. we are always happy. they come to us. they studied there for half a year, for example, or a year always comes and they say , you know, we didn’t believe, we didn’t believe in this story, or we thought it was something fantastic, that it was something impossible but

it’s far from me. not capable, yes, i often underestimate ourselves. and when we entered the most famous university of the russian bauman. also, by the way, technical areas are used there and, well, any other, and we are now studying, and there and still we still can't believe it, and we get this feedback - this, of course, is worth a lot, because we understand that the child will receive a good education. why is he now in the conditions that he dreamed of, and he was striving for this, the task of this dense company from the point of view of russia is to prepare a good specialist who would return to his home and develop his fatherland directly, if we talk in general about our tasks, then, of course, this is primarily the movement of the russian culture, because people are close to russian culture here in belarus, but i want to say, because i worked in other countries in general. in russian culture. always been interesting at different points never in my life. i didn't regret my choice of what

i did. work, probably, on the contrary, i consider myself a very lucky person, because not everyone gets such a chance to do this work. and often my loved ones. my family does not understand this, they do not understand my suitcase mood. yes, when you sit on the boxes, somewhere again you are going to go, my mother tells me so, i can’t imagine how you sat here again , went again on these boxes. it's there to rebuild to arrange life. well, it's all complicated. i can't imagine my life in one place. although i love my hometown very much . i'm from moscow region a and it's not difficult for me to come home. i'm a year or two passes and i have something that's starting to know inside podnachit. i understand that i need to go somewhere. i need to change the environment. i need to communicate with other people. i need to be in another space, so i never regretted that i had such a chance to do this work. i am very grateful, and to the people who helped me at some certain stages. i am very grateful to fate, something

has happened to me. of course, which somehow or other led me to this, probably already after a while. you begin to understand that this, this, and some such reference points , which led you to this one way or another, i am happy, uh, that i am doing this and i hope that there are many more years. i will be it study. and there are, of course, nuances that, uh, oh, which i regret, each of us has. yes, i regret, for example, that i studied few languages. right now already. yes , i feel that if i knew more, there are two or three languages, it would help me. and when you know the language, do you know the culture of the people? yes, this is interesting, and in this i lived, i regret that maybe i didn’t study some hmm playing musical instruments in my time, and uh, i have no hearing, unfortunately. but i would like to be able to play that a little more, i probably need was to study the art of world art, sometimes. i feel like there is some kind of deficiency. e knowledge in this area, but nonetheless.

i am sure that this work is may, the current work has given me a lot and now i can serve as diplomats for the good of my fatherland . it is impossible to call a single case when a mother carelessly touched a child and he lost his balance as cruel treatment. i'm sorry i let you down. in general, these guys, it turns out, are some kind of sharashka office and their police. covered up tonight and i never have was grandmother. may i call grandma? anya, your mother deserves better treatment, especially now, when she is struggling with a serious illness and does not need your support.

kidnapped a child on the channel belarus 24 now we have come to the brest fortress, probably , everyone knows about the feat of the defenders of the brest fortress, and this place is dear to each of us and, of course, to me, of course, too, when i arrived in brest first thing without unpacking the suitcases of the box. i came here, it was literally the same day

my arrival. and i couldn't help it, really. this is the place of our common strength, our common victories, because it was here in brest that the victory was forged, which took place on may 9, 41, 45 from this very place with the heroic defense of the brest fortress by those people who were here for almost months pyotr gavrilov and you know it very well fought until almost the end of july, when hitler thought that he would go through all the nonsense in 2 hours and move on. this place is important to me and valuable to me by the fact that my grandmother and my own grandfather alexander artyomovich berezhkov. bereshkova. maria kuzmichna. these are my relatives , my grandmother, paternal grandfather, they fought through the whole

war. my grandmother left for 18 years as volunteers for well , she reached prague, fortunately she was not wounded, she was a corporal. she spoke little about the war, as, probably, all our veterans did. they try not to talk about it in families. at least because it hurts, it has always been very hard. it has always been very tragic. i managed to learn so much from her, and those terrible years of the military lihalletiya, but i remember one of her memories. she told how they were very young girls. mm , they illuminated enemy aircraft, how they fired at them, in spite of everything , with these huge searchlights, they continued their work after many years. i went to the website feat of the people, and began to read about my children, whom i knew well. yes, he lived a long life, but he never told what he did. i found out that he was a sapper,

he had many awards, including for demining, and for me it was. actually in fact, a revelation, i did not know how heroic he was a man. and i think that in the family of each of us and the russians there are belarusians. there are such stories, and our grandfathers. uh, our grandmothers, great-grandfathers fought, shed blood for our present, which we live for our peaceful present, good, happy, and now , when someone is trying, but to distort history, yes, to falsify it, someone says that , probably, it is necessary already move away from this. it is necessary, perhaps, to forget or not to talk about it so often. i'm always amazed by this because it still hurts in me and it is strong in me, as in each of our people. this is a genetic memory, it has not gone away. and when i hear the song, holy

war, i get goosebumps. yes, the horse is in the throat and it cannot be otherwise, and i know that it is in my children. therefore, the brest fortress this is a fantastically powerful place , a fantastically powerful place where everyone should go through it and come here. you must definitely bring your children, be sure brest land still keeps the bodies of the defenders the defenders of the soviet union are still finding them to this day, they are still being raised from the ground and their names are being restored and perpetuated, and this is actually a colossal big work that is being carried out by both the state and public figures and this needs to be done, and this needs to be talked about it is necessary to attract as many young people as possible, because the perpetuation of the memory of the defenders of their

fatherland. this is probably our most important task, such an immutable true, if we do not know our stories, if we forget it, we are doomed to repeat these mistakes. again, there is nothing more valuable than peace on earth. we all understand this very well, these are not some banal words. all our families have survived. the horrors of that war remember this very well, so each of us must strive to preserve this world for ourselves and for future generations. and it is in this place that i would like to wish our peoples to the peoples of belarus russia peace, goodness, well-being , prosperity, so that we continue to maintain all our moral spiritual guidelines, which are represented here in the brest fortress, which we passed on to

the next generations to our children. yes to our grandchildren the power of our countries is our moral, and deep strong character and love of the fatherland for their fatherland. we talk about the manufacturing enterprises of our country, if you come to the city from moscow, then in the first place. you see our company, our

products are of special quality, for which we are not ashamed of the company's staff. i sometimes say that i'm going home. i, well i sincerely say that i love my business. you are already coming to our enterprise. you already feel the warmth and kindness and development and achievements of an enterprise with a hmm history, which, probably, simply does not have a second one like it. this is at least 90 years, we produce plywood. it has probably doubled production volumes this year. we provide on-the-job training. we are focused. that is, we know that if you stop today, tomorrow the development will not be seen in the program of the quality mark on our tv channel.
