we quickly understand and quickly do something. come on and what do you need to warm up acquaintance with the amazing people of our country. here is an amazing collection of what collectors they have met, but i don’t remember collecting such bricks , this is such a hobby that helps me to study. e, my native land, and a lot of useful and interesting information only thanks to the drawings of napoleon orda, we can imagine what our belarus was like at the end of the 19th century. we are very pleased that today many objects are being restored yes and restores good wounds according to the drawings of napoleon orda, belarus with svetlana borovskaya.

look at belarus 24. for belarusians by nationality, the way of formation of not only the belarusian orthodox church ali and ours won on sovereignty is simply invaluable, but the metropolitans about serving in the minsk cathedra vladyka philaret was both the rector of the moscow theological academy and their patriarch behind the arch sarydnya. then enter evropy adnajasov, at work. in

belarus, he also recognized his saber tsargun ministry of underestimated certificates the department of external sovereigns about the moscow patriarchate of them is only malaya often of his activities and merits since 2013, and he went into decline tires. well, no less active on kulkeh, it was within the power of spiritual life, iconic moments were recorded by the vestur by the heroine of our today's issue for photographers, the head of the patriarchal zarkhoa at the seat of belarus, metropolitan philaret. hello oksana hello, how did you become the personal photographer of metropolitan filaret , the first patriarchal exarch of all belarus, this is a very personal story. i entered institute of theology 2014. i am hello to the faith in orthodoxy and when i entered i had a camera. so i was invited several times to take pictures of bishop philaret. he then already was on rest and

gradually gradually. and i started taking pictures in this philorete, and it so happened that having photographed him once and then, uh, i began to constantly photograph the metropolitans. first honorary patriarchal exarch of all belarus i heard from my classmates from teachers and other different people about metropolitan filaret, and i was very interested in what kind of person this is so interesting, because they spoke of him as very lena of their family and uh, i so wanted to know what kind of person this is, why they consider him important in their life and how a stranger maybe, uh, you are very close and dear, when i u saw such a philaret of his walk to worship. i understood why people treat him with such awe and when he

looked at me for the first time. that was a very attentive piercing look. i'm here really. that's what i felt from him. such is the love for each person and for oneself. and such was our first. with lord violet, it wasn't even a temple. and also the vestibule of the temple - it was the corridor of the minsk diocesan administration, and it seems, even in such an inconspicuous place as a corridor. here. eh, the love of this person can touch you before the very first shooting of your first working day with him, let's say. so, did you have any personal contact? there was no personal acquaintance. the first shooting - this was my acquaintance with vladyka filaret. that's why, probably, it was remembered the most, and it was like a personal photographer, i don't perceive very strong. here is a personal photographer. yes , but just a photographer of metropolitan philaret. this is

probably more suitable. eh, to my kind obedience at that moment it happened somehow by itself. eh, at the time when vladyka retired, the question arose who would be? fix e metropolitan and v. that moment of both pavel and filaret and the one who had previously photographed the dokurites continued to photograph the current exarch. and i gradually began to photograph vladyka philaret already at his rest, his divine service, a personal meeting. and, uh, even some such private moments, for example, when vladyka favorite uh, read to himself in kelly and a book or, uh, accepted. e. and how he himself treated this to his family, i'll spy on him for some private moments. i'm not talking about official events, but private events. vladyka filaret was a public person, and he

always remembered this, he did not have personal time, and he himself spoke about this, and he with great joy and with such a great desire , he related to filming both video and photographs, because he understood that photography and video would become, over time, also historical materials. this is the first aspect and the second aspect is that this, of course, is also part of the mission of the church, that the church does not concentrate on itself, but even through photos and videos it can reach a large audience and was always photographed very, uh, i was attentive to those people who are around him are to his assistants. the one who accompanies him always with always looked at this man. e, i watched very carefully how he was at

work. how does he behave? so even in some moments, sometimes he could, uh, arrange an educational one. there have been moments like this. i had, uh, just one moment. here , but i remember him very much and this also speaks of vladyka philaret and kok as about a competent manager and administrator, that, uh, he did not always behave there. uh, condescending to people, but somewhere i could have said that you have a mistake here. gotta fix it. here, so that everything is decorous and noble. here is deca filaret always paid great attention to this. it was a situation for the service, then i went out and approached the loy, on which the icon was located, and i had the imprudence to come too close and interfere with the vodka a little. this is how he looked at me.

that's very, uh, so strict with such a look. so i moved away and realized that i was disturbing him now. and now, it might not be worth it. eh, yes. to approach and interfere with his prayers, well, but always vladyka filaret, if he made any such remarks, it was always very delicately so as not to offend the person. what shooting do you remember the most for some reason, maybe the event itself, maybe the behavior of metropolitan philaret was somehow special . it was made in august 2020 and vladyka filaret d ate at her table. e in the minsk diocesan administration. there is a small garden there even after meals. i approached the lord and

asked to take a few pictures. uh, it was very beautiful. sunny clear weather and uh, the sun was shining and uh the water was on. very so condescending. hmm let me take some shots. and when we, uh, i photographed him, made portraits , unexpectedly pigeons flew to us. so dk asked the u helpers to bring u some crumbs and vladyka fed these u birds and very good touching shots also turned out. they say that often with such highly spiritual people some unusual wonderful even stories and vladyka filaret, in fact , was not an exception, maybe some situations happened to your activities with him. indeed, this is so, and of course, we think that vladyka

had a certain gift of clairvoyance, which he was able to hide for a long time, and the husband and wife, vladyka philaret gave this woman two icons. well, she was so embarrassed, because one would have been enough for her , and she even gave it away a long time ago. well , she didn’t, and then a week or two later they found out that she was pregnant. and what a lord they are just like that , the patriarchal exar gave her this second icon - this is not only a highly spiritual person, not only a representative of the belarusian orthodox church, but also a media personality. and often such people have. there are some conditions for shooting, for example, there, the working side yes, did vladyka philaret have such nuances in filming, there never was such a thing. vladyka never interfered in the creative process, but he always gave, uh, room for uh, the manifestation of some talent

of the person with whom he works. he could sometimes correct something, but this there were some very minor things. and most likely these things did not concern him.

on the contrary, cheerful and so playful. he never posed, never played any part. uh, he's always been, uh, who he is now, and he never hid his emotions. the right morning should start with righteousness, and my mood is lifted, because i understand that i am looking for breakfast. we will help make the first meal tasty and healthy by selecting a few fruits. don't be shy and sniff their sour smell, which means it's most likely a fetus.

overripe and even began the process of decay. and if you are a fish lover, then i directly congratulate you. you get a huge amount of good protein. you get a huge amount of omega-3 acids, and also very interesting, and zumba is so popular. today, that we are cooperating with the company, and world stars, such as, for example, shakira , will not be forgotten. we are talking about an invigorating exercise, the movement takes place in our shoulder blades, the shoulder blades move from behind, and the ribs slide along them well, and we add movement to this movement. corps , see the breakfast of champions program at tv channel belarus 24. what does the world lack for the world? i think that the world lacks justice, a detailed conversation about the global and the innermost. there is awareness

given about a person should be collected only to the extent that is necessary to achieve a specific goal. that's when we talk about fusion. we must take into account the fact that this will affect everyone. i think it's short. it is rather an honor to be useful to the motherland and i want to apply all my strength, mental moral quality to my professional life experience only for the benefit of my states. i really wanted to hear it , i really wanted to hear this particular project markov nothing personal. watch new episodes on belarus 24 channel.

can you read how many photos you have in your archive? approximately, of course, approximately somewhere around three terabytes. i won't say, but it's a very large number of photos. or maybe there are pictures at the exhibition on which you would like to focus your attention separately. something to tell interesting there are frames that reflect. uh, the last years of vladyka philaret and few people know how he spent his weekdays and actually on this tablet. we are talking about it. we will agree first of all continued to perform our service at the throne in a puddle continued to perform worship. and most importantly the sacrament of the eucharist, a read satisfies a lot of his beloved. eh, the book, beloved, its authors were pushkin, that's what

he explained to me. why did you like him? he took it off, because his parents instilled in him a love for pushkin from childhood and the lord-forets is like that in his own. uh, active years very often quoted pushkin and could yes indeed something like a whole poem to tell when we look at the dk filaret at such an advanced age. eh, of course i want to know what he was, eh, in childhood, what did he look like? what a child he was, and we can also see it in our exhibition. and here we see a philoreta at the age of two. if we look at the look, he's a little. what is different from his e look at 85 years old. this is such a difference. we can already see that at that time he was such a rather serious person. here are also touching and unique

photos with his father bartholomew. androvich, and, probably, even more touching and unique touching photo, when vladyka philaretti caught it must be said that these photos are eco-foret. eh, he himself passed on to us these photographs were kept in the personal archives by vladyka philaret. and uh, when we were preparing the exhibition, we thought it would be right to approve with him. the photographs that are included here, because after all they are so very close and touching, and er, i showed vladyka philaret even when he looked. he asked me that. and who was showing her father and say water. this is your father varfolomey aleksandrovich vakhraev, and he looked at me like that, and smiled so well. and

this is who points to his parent. eh, i answer him to alexander fedorovna smirnov. this is your parent, and he smiled even more and pointed to his godmother and said. and who is this? here it is, maybe he thought that i won't answer this one now. here. e question. i said it's your godmother. and this is really how she looked smiled. uh, waved so approvingly uh head and i must say that for him here are these photographs with his parents and childhood . they were very close to him and always stood on his table. uh, the only photo. this photo was with his parents, and he himself shared, but also talked about this photo, that when he sits down at the table he always greets his parents and prays for them, but did you have any privileges, like the photographer metropolitan

filaretta of the patriarchal exarch of belarus is shaking herself? they brought him to ask vladyka to take some pictures and make some portraits. well, i must say that vladyka also willingly agreed to be photographed with other photographers who needed it, so some special privileges. i've never had. and was there a place for retouching when working with such a highly spiritual person, very famous. eh, was it possible to correct something somewhere, or even maybe, i had a need, most often there was no need for this, but there were times when, somewhere, a cassock was fighting over my eyes, or something stood not on my own place, and then i had to resort to such methods, but most often everything was.

naturally, and i wanted to, as naturally as possible, show some kind of informality of communication to vladyka philaret and some kind of even him sometimes not so much confidence, but some kind of such a human trait of him, that's why they never really resorted to this , but were there situations, the circumstances of the event, where it was necessary to shoot from one take or still reportage shooting a large number of takes e yes, and even with reportage shooting more often all you have is just one shot that you can take here and now, for example, when vladyka was presented with some gifts, or he presented some gifts when people greet. this is the moment most of the time. eh, smeek is simple and therefore there were a lot of such moments.

so you should always quickly navigate and, uh, look quickly, and most often, uh, the shots always turned out, because for some period i could already learn some behavior from vladyka philaret, and i knew that now he would most likely turn around . here bless this man. uh, give him a prosphora or a bouquet of flowers, or someone, uh, make some kind of gesture. and if there was a reportage shooting, for example, of a certain event or a divine service there. yes, to that husband. eh, who chose the best picture, which later became already historical or vladyka filorets. he himself took part. uh, most often this responsibility was on me and on the editor who published these photos, when some photos were published in publications. especially in large editions that are dedicated to the lord favorite, then, before printing, they always showed

vladyka, but he never interfered, and as far as i know, not a single photograph was nevertheless replaced on his initiative. as a photographer, can you answer the question of whether he was naturally photogenic vladyka filaret was and handsome both externally and handsome in soul , and probably because he was handsome in soul. this was very reflected in his appearance, he was already, when he had aged a little and his beard had sat for a while. he became, uh, look so, uh, light and white like angels, and therefore you could say he was, uh, a handsome man. in all his aspects, the last lifetime shots of the first patriarchal exarch, everything and belarus vladyka philaretta are also your authorship. and let's remember the circumstances of this shooting, how was it? what is between you? maybe there was a communication

that he told you the last thing, really the last shots i took. then we celebrated the day of the angel of bishop the sick on december 14, and vladyka took a picture with everyone who was at this event, he also took a photo from metropolitan veniamin and looked at him very carefully, and these shots also remained. you can find and see them published, and er, i must say that on that day vladyka was very patient and did not refuse to share the joy of common prayer. and when i was already leaving that day, this is filareta. i took his blessing and the warmth of his hands. and this and the strength of his e, shaking my hand. i still remember. here with. with what attention, with what

warmth and love, he looked at this is impossible. uh, erase your memories. and others the same vivid memories of how the shooting arrangements with bishop philaret took place . or those people who will come to vladyka philaret and vladykophore. always very uh, relied and trusted his assistants in all these matters. uh, they always knew, uh, the appropriateness of a photographer at personal events, or vice versa , the inappropriateness, and therefore the responsibility for photographs also lay with the closest assistants and the secrets of logic philaret, did you have moments not only of official working moments, yes, but in between times also some kind of communication, but some kind of mentorship, including spiritual and

life, as he remained personally for you as a person, they for like e employee let's say. so. when i photographed such a philaret, i photographed him first of all as a person and only then as, uh, a person who has a high rank. as a public person, and for me, vladyka filaret was always, first of all, close in spirit, there were such moments. uh, my life, when, uh , i came to vladyka philaret and asked for his prayers, and he never refused and always very briefly. e, i prayed, i was baptized, and, uh, i said that everything would be fine and it really was so, and i always tried, both before shooting and after shooting, to take vladyka’s blessing

, first of all, to greet him and then say goodbye and ask him for some. uh, prayers, and vladyka philaret has been very silent in recent years, but communication with him was non-verbal, because we, who surrounded my document. and who he was directly with him, always near, always felt his prayer. he became for me like a member of the family, like my relatives, like a senior mentor, like a teacher, like a confessor and like a talented theologian before you became a photographer for the honorary patriarchal exar of all belarus, what did you do, can you tell a little about yourself in 2014 she entered the institute of theology. i was very interested in the disciplines and subjects that are taught there. i decided to do it. although i don't she was a believer and a church person. well, gradually. uh, part of the institute.

i began to come to the faith and learn about christianity from orthodoxy and my, e, the path of becoming in this, but i went through this gradually and we can say that he passed under the guidance of vladyka philaret, but i must say that under prayerful guidance. today i am doing. uh, also perpetuating the memory of the first patriarchal exarch. i am learning everything about belarus. at the institute of philosophy, national academies of sciences in graduate school and also her e, scientific research and partly dedicated to vladyka philaret of his interfaith activities. oksana thank you very much for our conversation today. and thank you very much.
