[000:00:00;00] exclusively jews, the second, within 5 days from the date of publication of this order, the entire jewish population of the city of minsk is obliged to move to the area allocated to it for living, there was an order to move all jews on the territory of the minsk agent. it was one and a half square kilometers of living space, minsk somewhere is wooden houses, well, private houses mean everything, in which jews lived mostly. they were engaged in handicrafts for 140,000 people, then in each room they lived seven by 10 by 12 people. if you count, it turned out to be about one and a half

square meters per person. according to the order of the field commandant , three camps were actually formed on the territory of minsk. the borders of the large ghetto began from the collective farm lane along the line of the street of the same name and passed along the nemigskaya street. the area of ​​the molotov radio plant belonged to the small ghetto, and the sondergett was located in the area of ​​shoe and dry streets. more than 20,000 jews deported from seven countries of western central and eastern europe it was allowed to leave the jewish area only along two streets, and pansky and

ostrovsky, it was guarded around the clock by the ss policemen, the lithuanian and belarusian nationalist formations disappeared. executions of the civilian population, prisoners of war in minsk began literally from the first days of the occupation in the arsenal of demonstrative executions of jews. minsk gett in the early morning of november 7, 1941, the residents of vitebskaya street in minsk were awakened by shots, after who began to hear the cries of crying children,

wulfrisman, ran out into the street. but there they were already driving jews from all the houses, lining them up in a common column. he rushed to warn. but it was too late, pushing his wife out into the street. wulf managed to grab his young daughter by the hand and rushed to run. catching my breath, i hide behind the houses. they, along with

the child, followed the column. people under the bodies of machine guns were pushing towards the car with their eyes. wulf was looking for his people. suddenly, at the very end of the column, he saw his wife, esther.

and my mother was allowed to leave the column. and she still some girl with her say that i am your daughter and there were 16 years old girls. she said she was released too. nazi doctrine total extermination of the jewish population but how to deal with the liquidation of such a large number of people one of the effective means became louder. especially bloody lasted 4 days, it began on july 28 and ended on july 31, 1942. figures vary when it was killed,

presumably 25 thousand people. it was terrible for 4 days to sit behind the aginskaya field woman with a little girl, she was younger than me. she started crying. in front of mother so that 60 people do not die and remember clearly, they will never forget. we children

talked to each other. how to hold your breath longer and how to pretend to be dead that the germans didn't kill you. people used every opportunity to hide cellars, attics, ditches, cellar exits from houses. malina, as they called places in the ghetto where one could hide during the pogrom, saved many lives. in a small house with two apartments on republicanskaya street in minsk in november 1942 , the nazis were doing their usual job of shaking up the belongings of the residents they killed,

trying to find something of value they called it fun. such rounds in the evenings in the ghetto were made constantly, not finding anything else suitable for themselves. they literally broke into a neighbor's apartment and froze at the entrance in surprise. there was no one, although everything indicated that until recently there were people. they really were, hiding in the cramped space between the stove and the second wall, where you could only stand along the wall, they made themselves. not the slightest sound not the slightest

rustle then the inhabitants of the house were lucky they did not discovered, but from pogroms, raspberries saved, not always. mom and i went down to the basement , people came farther and farther from the entrance , because they found and threw a grenade there. i remember the smell until now soul sponges shootings pogroms, in the ghetto became commonplace the most terrible took place in november, march 41 and july forty-second in

october, 43. the minsk ghetto existed from july 20, forty-first to october 21, 1943 , it became one of the largest in europe , at least 100,000 jews passed through it, about 90,000 were killed out of 25,000 people deported to the ghetto from europe , only fifty prisoners managed to escape. in total , from

600 to 800,000 people were destroyed in the ghettos created throughout the territory of the republic during the war. how the working days of belarusians go, there is only one methodology. what you need to work to work, how to give your best to an athlete, how an athlete will give himself in training, that is, this will be the result, when you come to work in civil aviation, you become attached to your soul and body. she becomes part of her life. our task to make your trip comfortable and safe, representatives of various fields of activity will tell you about the features of their profession. well, find some common language so that your athlete understands why he comes to training? why is he doing anything at all? you have learned it. this is explained from here in the event of

a power outage. no, but here will continue with the work of the movement. watch the project one day on our tv channel. this is the very first. a step to distortion is the average belarusian, he is always in everything will be sorted out by provocative details and answers to the challenges of the time, now in society there is a very strong demand for justice. no need to make excuses. do you know why? because when a person has learned the four basic rules of management, yes, then in general it does not matter what he manages. he just has to have his head on his shoulders, they serve in three structures. it's in the army in the church. and all in the theater, so let's say it's not very far, but there is a concept, operational artificiality, theatrical art. how do you stand not to become an actor in someone else's game, the main conclusion is not to

wait for the command, you must not be afraid to take responsibility for yourself. i, probably, should once again emphasize two things that they reproduced. i liked the decency and courage of markov's project nothing personal only the truth, which is always more interesting than the house of words. watch on tv channel belarus 24. in her story, her nature and her generosity. you will feel once and you will never forget again. everything is real here. igor karpenko chairman of the central election commission of the republic belarus today our conversation will be about

the electoral system, the electoral right and electoral technologies. hello , you are watching the program of distortions of the silence studio victoria popova and tatyana shcherbina and igor karpenko is our guest today. good afternoon. hello, igor vasilyevich , next february we will have a single voting day for deputies of all levels. why did we come to this form of voting and consider it expedient, firstly, this is determined by our constitution and those changes additions that were made in the referendum last year, the second hmm increased. uh, the election cycle.

uh, that is, a five-year term, that is, if earlier deputies were elected for 4 years, now they will be elected for 5 years, and thus we are reducing the so-called electoral cycle so that, uh, well, there is more opportunity to implement those plans, those programs socio-economic development strategic programs for the development of belarus here they are constantly in the electoral process. do you remember how it used to be did not have time, uh, to elect local soviets. there are already parliamentary elections. did not have time to hold parliamentary elections. there are already presidential elections and, in fact, they are leaving, but only for electronic ones , not only because after each company there is a serious analysis of past companies. uh, some adjustment of the legislation. uh, so we look at how the legislation worked, and in terms of its application in practice, and uh, these, of course, are constant moments. a. well, they did it, as if they were introducing a stressful state for the country. i would say society and state. well, plus financial costs. well

, of course, of course, the combination of e companies e for the election of deputies. all local councils and parliamentary elections, and after that we still have to elect delegates. uh, the entire belarusian people's assembly. that is, as it were, well, it is more compact, more rational use of the resources that are both human and material. you once announced that preparations for the elections would begin in the summer of 2023. here we have confirmation of your words summer has come. what stage is this one at now, well we they announced not preparations, as they announced to the elections that the active phase of preparations for the elections would begin, because the preparations were carried out immediately after the referendum after the amendments were made, but the constitution is serious work. it was conducted according to the perfection of the electoral legislation. i can say that we have been working very seriously with all interested structures, including the deputies' corps

of electoral codes, with which significant changes have been made, and dozens of public discussions have been held. tax sites, that is, all this, of course, contributed to the preparation of, er, the upcoming election campaign. now we are entering the active phase. why because before the signing of the decree by the head of state on the appointment of elections, and the constitution determines that this decree must be signed no later than november 23 of the current year in accordance with the requirements of the constitution of the electoral code. and we are conducting a number of active electoral actions, but in particular until september 1. e together with local authorities. we have to decide on the number and number of constituencies in local councils before october 1. we will have to decide on e, constituencies for the election of deputies of the house of representatives will change compared to previous years. well, according to local councils, probably, yes, somewhere around, singing

is somewhere a little less, but in any case, there will probably be some progress in the deputies' corps. constitution of 110 deputies of the house of representatives, and remains this number, but the boundaries of the districts. uh, they can be a little different depending on the population living in a particular territory and a until the first of november. we will have to determine all districts according to the elected deputies of the local councils of deputies , and only no later than november 23 should a decree on appointment be issued. uh, so elections are a single voting day. and you listed the elections that preceded this single day. among them were presidential. you can say that we will choose one day in the future as president. are you planning this form? well, as long as it's not provided legislation. well, i think that, probably, uh, this would not be entirely correct, because uh functions of the president are his uh terms of reference. well, they differ from e

deputy e activities. it is natural and, probably, to combine these two political companies. bye. there is no need, but at the same time i can say that this is the next day of voting, already in the twenty- fifth year of e, no later than july 20, to hold presidential elections. well, you already said that the electoral system. belarus is currently in the process of transformation amendments are being made to the legislation, including expanded powers of the central election commission, which has changed significantly for the cec, well, some new functions have appeared. well, in particular, uh , the cec will appoint e, the election of delegates to the entire belarusian people's assembly from the deputy corps of local councils and from civil society structures. in addition to this cic, another new function has appeared. this e work on the legal education of citizens.

including our youth our youth and the provision of methodological assistance government bodies that work too. at the same time, innovations in legislation appeared, which, in general, also, but well, it will look a little differently at the activities of the central election commission, firstly, it will be formed differently. the chairman and members of the central election commission will be elected by the delegates of the entire belarusian people's assembly, and this is a bit much, in accordance with the constitution, the maximum number of delegates. this is 1.200 people. and how many they should be in the cec, uh, we have 12. uh members, including the chairman and secretary and deputy chairman of the commission, that is , the apparatus of the central election commission is quite small and small. uh, just uh, eight full-time employees. well, at the same time, the legislation provides that for the period of the active phase of the election campaign, we can, uh, therefore

, uh, from other states of the bodies, attract workers to, uh, assist in the organization of the election campaign, well, after the events of 2020, we didn’t notice any that outflow, or vice versa, an increase in those wishing to work in precinct commissions. well, we didn't notice the outflow. after the twentieth year we held a referendum for 22 years. we had no problems with being nominated to the territorial and precinct commissions, but i will say more. today we have organized on a permanent basis. uh, refresher courses for potential hosts. there are quite a few subjects. i have already named them both those who, uh, nominate, uh, the composition of precinct commissions, and those who nominate observers and those who, uh, nominate them or other candidates, uh, for deputies, or for president, these are all subjects that are very much

involved in the electoral process, and uh, for now, we see enough today. well, an active desire to improve their level of professional legal knowledge in the field of electoral law, as well as to study various technologies for organizing the electoral process. after the twentieth year there were such conversations. that you need to get away from elections in schools, and your opinion in the school, as such, is not hmm, the subject of the electoral process, we use under the activities of the polling station organization commission, well acceptable premises that allow. um, well, it's more rational to build logistics. uh, means organizing these elections. where voters can come, and so on, but if this is a residential neighborhood, then we understand that, well, the most acceptable building is, of course, a school building. well, somewhere we have, uh, sites are organized in the houses of culture. e,

somewhere e some socio-cultural objects of all or other enterprises or organizations. let's say we know him. here on post-soviet space. here we were recently as an observer of the cis mission at a referendum in uzbekistan e. there, too , the bulk of the plots are located in educational institutions, especially since we don’t particularly distract schools, because, as a rule. uh, the main voting day takes place on a day off and the school does not function on this day and use these areas in order to spend this voting day rationally, but then find some temporary premises for early voting that will not interfere educational process. it is too. but in general. maybe this emergency vote will still be, uh, 5 days going on. yes, nothing has changed here. the only thing that has changed. e. well, for our citizens. it will be interesting. we won't have a break. for lunch. we urgently need a vote. that is, today, in our

legislation, it is prescribed that early voting will begin 5 days before the main day. voting will take place from 12:00 to 19:00 daily without a break for lunch. of course, we analyzed. and here the main streams of citizens, who came and when they came, at what time. therefore , you have come to this conclusion, what needs to be done in this way, but at the same time, we will see how it will work in practice until the law starts to work. difficult. e to give a full assessment of how we got to the point of taking others. uh, the change seemed like an early vote. this form, she survived. yes active what percentage? well, this is not our invention. early voting is in electoral systems. e many states. uh, in particular, i’m even returning to the referendum again, and in uzbekistan they deliberately made adjustments to the legislation so that they could vote early in the referendum, because they didn’t

provide enough voting in the referendum before. so they specifically introduced this opportunity in order to create more favorable ones. uh, conditions for citizens and their will. and if a citizen wants to be in the commissions, he wants to somehow help in the electoral campaign. he can represent himself yourself and somewhere to turn to be in comedies that put forward, uh, a potential candidate for commission members or observers. yes, that means, uh, a citizen needs to use these methods of nomination. i can repeat them again. this political party public association can nominate the labor collective can nominate and e citizens. e depending. which commission is nominated to, if a precinct commission is nominated, then citizens living within the boundaries of this precinct of at least 10 people must sign a signature sheet in order to nominate this person, and then there is a procedure for considering all these candidates, and sometimes we have

a competition. uh, on some commissions. here but at the same time. uh, the existing bodies are also nominated, depending on who is responsible for the formation of this or that level of the commission, which means they carry out these procedural issues and uh, which means they elect these commissions. and the fact that it was decided to abandon the opening of sites. uh, abroad, with what it is connected, there are a lot of different nuances here, and we discuss questions. and everything was carefully weighed and compared. well, agree with me. uh, some situations. we did not create it, and in any case, it is not our country that is to blame for this. if today, let's say, in some, uh, countries, we have only one diplomat on duty, one technical worker. they a priori cannot organize a commission, because the minimum number of members of the commission, which can be for the formation of a polling station. this is five people. even so,

if you argue then e questions. uh, pandemics questions prompted us to do so. dangers, well, it is still fresh in our memory when ours, but a diplomat, is on the territory of our own diplomatic mission in one of the foreign countries. and that means they beat yes, but at the same time it has not yet been carried out. uh, thorough investigation no one . yes, no one was prosecuted. although this is a criminal punishment. so we are these areas why we will be this is so that some kind of provocations are staged there, including with the possible beating of embassy employees, as a rule, the embassy staff form these polling stations, but now you can tell me e in contrast. what but what about the countries where, well, friendly there, for example, there is china , for example, the russian federation and so on, but again i will give an example that in even before the pandemic years in the same russian federation we e formed only three polling stations, a in moscow

, st. petersburg and kaliningrad, and then we must also understand that a is abroad, and the lists are being formed. eh, just those citizens who are on consular records, and not just like that. here, i am in minsk today. tomorrow i decided to go to moscow and, by the way, i will go to the embassy to vote. yes, that is, citizens who are on consular records , who live there for a long time, or work for such categories, and in terms of the number of such citizens included in the lists and voting and voting, for example, in the presidential elections in the twentieth year. it was only 0.3% of the match composition in total, such pictures were made, yes, for social networks it was also for the extremist republics. yes, therefore, again, i want to say that the norm is not to open plots abroad. this is not our idea. again, there are a number of states that also do not open. uh, that means representative offices, uh, polling stations and

they live quietly with it, so to speak. and if there are no plots, a citizen, with a passport, can somehow by the way, with a strong desire. well, we have early voting. yes, there is a second, which means the main voting day. that is, in fact, the voting process takes six days, in fact, six, well, in perspective. here we are now just dealing with issues, and the creation of a concept for the digitalization of the electoral system. and i wouldn't look. that's narrow, only some people perceive it. let's introduce electronic voting there . yes, we want to see the whole picture. to create a concept, then directly further decide what we are doing, what we are not doing, where we are moving, in what direction? well, in perspective here. uh, here, here we are, for example, in the russian federation, electronic vote. there is no longer there. eh, so no problem at all. e with an understanding of where a citizen is located, because he can

vote at any point, including the russian federation or while abroad, if he is registered for this electronic voting is included in this called electronic voting list, and how safe and transparent it will be further, but these are also the main questions. i think that we, in the concept , are just posing these questions in such a way that, firstly, the system must be reliable. she must on resist, possible. e external influence, including hacker attacks. and here again, our neighbors, who a have been conducting electronic voting for more than a year. they always say that the system is still subjected to certain attacks, but for now, in any case, it will also withstand the russian federation, but we must clearly understand with guarantee that this system will not fail , there will be paralyzed there for the period of the electoral campaign. we can't afford it, so we're in it we are not in a hurry, but i can immediately say for our viewers that a single voting day, yes, and the presidential elections

of 25 will be held traditionally, but conceptually we are working on this and here is e, the main parameters that are laid down in this matter. these are issues of security, but reliability and, uh, issues of transparency of this system, it is felt that for the next 2 years you have such a clear plan, you have a business plan, and you have a very good idea of ​​​​how elections will take place in our country in the coming years. but what of these innovations is ours, the voter is a viewer, after all, let's summarize, we must understand for ourselves that in a new way, well, for televisually it will be interesting, then what, and in each region e we will receive the amount differently ballots, let's say in the city of minsk we get only, uh, two election ballots. e deputies of the house of representatives and for the election of e deputies of the minsk city council of deputies, since there are no deputies here. hmm , the primary level there is basic, and the soviets

mean such a division, but let's say somewhere. well, for example, somewhere in the vita region, for example, in the ushat district in some village council in a rural settlement. our citizens will receive four ballots for the election of deputies of the house of representatives for the election of deputies. uh, the vitebsk regional council of deputies for the election of deputies of the ushatsky regional website of deputies and for the election of some village council of deputies of the corresponding one. yes, where does a citizen live on the territory of which village council does he live? yes, this is it. eh, this is the innovation, the second. i said uh the timing of early voting has changed, and the third is also a very important point - this is that observers, and this also applies to a certain extent to our active citizens who are nominated as observers in the territorial precinct commission, and accreditation of such observers will take place until start of early

voting. that is, before. it was possible for us to arrive ahead of schedule, and to get loans even on the day of the main goal. and so on, it turns out that such a burden falls on the commission and the commission cannot even check at all, but do these primary documents, on the basis of which the observer is accredited e, comply with the current legislation? and so, before the start of early voting, those entities that send observers to the commissions must issue documents to them, and these citizens must come to the commissions and be accredited to these commissions as observers and you have summarized them exhaustively. thank you very much voters have something to think about. and we will break for a while, i remind you, we have a telegram channel. say don't be silent. subscribe ask questions and suggest guests we are in touch. their passion

and hobby - this is their favorite work. every day you just need to work hard to work not to get tired of accepting with gratitude every role , every job that we are entrusted with, and then perhaps something will develop behind the shoulders of the heroes of many interesting stories, 70 years ago i went to school. in september, the fifty-third year , they didn’t take it, because i was not yet 7 years old, but this little vasilyok sat on the back desk and a week later the teacher came to me to us mother's home. he says that your vasya wants to go to school , he will leave a bright acquaintance with him when he is still young. the impression i have for my life is in assortment. for work, more than two thousand have already been named by my personal ones. i am a happy person with a full answer, because every day i am very interested in living. i'm not somewhere out there, you know, i'm not flying away. and i'm here with you watching the belarusians project on

belarus 24 tv channel. the editors club turns out that humanity is being convinced with the help of the media that these people can control us unravel the formula of information tactics and destroy the technology of inflating panic rumors, some would like us to instantly give an answer to every squeak. actually. it will be wrong, which means that our opponents are forcing us to respond to their agenda. all information coming from there should be divided by 10, and then again by 10 and rechecked many times. so many large integrated projects can survive in modern international relations by persistently shaping your idea something negative. believe me, there will always be finance, an interesting open dialogue about the most important socio-political events in

the country and the world. on tv channel belarus 24 on the air again, say the program, do not be silent. and today our guest is the chairman of the central election commission. igor karpenko igor vasilievich but the observers have already been touched upon. what about international observers? what changes await us here and they are expected to change, there are no significant changes, but there are still a number of subjects, uh, who have the right to invite international observers, these entities include the president of the republic of belarus , the government of the republic of belarus, both houses of the parliament and the ministry of foreign affairs and the central electoral commission. well, according to the practice of holding electoral campaigns, the cec, as a rule, invites its colleagues, the central election commission. well

, in particular, let's say the cis countries or representatives of those international organizations where we, e, are a full member, as a rule , inter-parliamentary structures are invited to parliaments, but the foreign ministry the president of the government is usually ah? the people's organization , which the republic of belarus is a member of, is very surprising to hear from you that we have little that has changed, because if you listen to him in the controversy, in which oleg sergeevich galdukevich participates in particular. it seems that we have completely abandoned international observers. how do you feel about it? i do not think that it is necessary to completely abandon the institute of international observers. although er, there is a problem here. well, for example, e. in the cis, we have, uh, a convention on the standards of democratic elections and voting rights and citizens of the cis country , which have been in force for about 20 years for more than 20 years, and what is the advantage of this convention, it is signed by the heads of all

states and passed ratification in the parliaments of our states. that is, it acquired, e, legislative force. this is a convention. and when we were now amending and supplementing our electoral legislation, of course, we were looking at those positions. and convention uh, compared, and those innovations that were introduced, because these are, well, let's say so, but legislatively fixed changes. uh, at the level of international law, yes, and everyone always wonders. this is bse yes be se er today there is no such document that would be er adopted by all heads of state signed ratified by parliaments. what our president did not talk about. let's sit down at the negotiating table and develop common standards, as a result, it turns out that such an authoritative organization as the osce in every country travels with methodological recommendations, which, e, are prescribed specifically for a particular country and accordingly draws conclusions.

so, according to the monitoring of certain electoral procedures. well, for example , we were in uzbekistan. well, here the topic was touched upon that, uh, the name was touched upon, that it was not quite a referendum, but was held democratically, because, firstly, there the citizens had less opportunity. now he is getting acquainted, which means with a change in the constitution of the second, that there were no alternative opinions, on changes in the supplement to the constitution and so on and so forth, but these are all very vague norms, uh, which, in general, well, can be turned in different directions. is that how it is here? yes, yes, and here we, for example, did not see any such significant violations of the electoral legislation and the legislation of the referendum in e. uzbekistan, here, as part of the cis mission, so that, for example, not to recognize there or, or there, make some such global significant remarks on the process of holding a referendum. well, it's true, there's another mission. uh, until the end of the conclusion

didn't. that is, they are preliminary, as it were, well, and the elections, for example, uh, recently held in turkey, uh, made a statement. yes, they are, yes, yes, they are democratic , which means that they correspond to democratic standards there , and so on, but i would like these democratic standards to be applied equally in all countries, regardless of whether the old one is democracy, the young one is democracy. uh, is it eastern european democracy or western european and so on. i would like it to be like that, all the norms that are beneficial to them were uniform they, er, then ratify sit down at the negotiating table when they are not interested. we will never wait for this international agreement to be signed. here, latvia is an example of what is probably the ideal choice today, more than a statement was elected president there. well, it's their constitutional norm that the president is elected by the parliament

, and uh, in principle, the functions of the president are also limited. this is a representative function of representation in the international arena, the state and so on and so forth. well, he also has the right to life, as they say, here it is the norm, but this does not mean that we should all be under these norms. lined up in the same way, how the right to not recognize the osce won, i mean, that is, you said a remark and what, well, you understand, the remark is needed for what so that we evaluate them again and look, again critically look and analyzed their electoral legislation. maybe something really needs to be introduced and changed and some innovations introduced into the electoral legislation, the electoral system. she doesn't stand still. she too develops together with the state along with social development. yes, this is part of our society, our state of the electoral system, and it’s clear that it’s certain by the constitution that time may be required

to make some changes, so we are grateful to all international observers who express their opinions, positions and so on, but here evaluate or characterize a particular country. it's probably not right. this already e is associated with interference in the internal affairs of the sovereign. well again, uh, the council of europe - this is still europe uzbekistan - these are other traditions. here it is necessary to take into account, uh, mentality and national characteristics. i know this topic has also been touched upon. well, how is it ? a husband and wife there came to the referendum in uzbekistan, went into the booth together and filled out this ballot. well, this is a special case. well, well, that happens sometimes. well, we are in the family too. and you, probably, also discuss among yourselves in the family. and how will we go to the polls, how will we vote? well, maybe we don't go into the booth, although i do remember the beginning of the nineties, when e husband and wife entered the cabin with a child, they entered. yes, that is. well, it's like a definite

mentality, when, uh, let's say in the same uzbekistan i saw it. uh, when on election day some kind of events take place with a finger sports cultural for children, and in this. nothing wrong with me either, parents came to the polling station in parallel with the child. maybe there are some games to participate. it does not interfere in any way with the electoral process, because it takes place in a separate room, but in some other rooms or organized on the street. all these events are played somewhere by music and people. in general, they react quite well to this. well, as our president said, elections should always be a holiday for people. well, that's right, because, in principle, the fate of the country is determined by the fate, uh, it means that the state is, and it is clear that i would like it to take place after all, but in a stable, peaceful situation, and not the creation of some kind of tense such centers, which, in general, but hinders, e, the free expression of the will of citizens to express their opinion on quite a few

candidates, or this or that issue, which is put to a referendum. you mentioned that our legislation is being amended. if they are necessary, what we expect at the moment, what exactly we would like to improve here at the legislative level. well look what we have introduced into the electoral law. well, uh, in any case, it probably reflects those modern trends, including issues of electoral security. and here, but again to say that at the moment here is an additional need, probably difficult. to do this, you need to hold a single day of voting. we will be doing it for the first time. i emphasize again and, uh, we will see some things in practice, but at the same time, the central electoral commission has powers, which means a unified interpretation of certain norms of the law, uh, for uniform application by all commissions. and so that you understand them, uh, almost 6,000 commissions are formed at all levels. yes,

the voter has come. here is a situation and here it is necessary uniformly. to apply the legislator in order to enable this citizen to freely make his choice to receive a ballot and fulfill his civic mission is one of the innovations. well , as far as i understand, this is an innovation. uh, that it is forbidden to photograph the ballot and post it somewhere on social networks for everyone to see. we have laid down this rule more clearly , now it is forbidden to do it , moreover, if such facts are recorded, then administrative protocols can even be drawn up and subjected to fine those citizens who will not comply. firstly. we must clearly understand that the ballot is filled out - this is already and which is shown to the public on the internet , posted or on camera. this is a violation of the secrecy of the vote. this time. and the second, we can regard it as campaigning either for or against, and, accordingly, what is prohibited by law on voting day. uh,

no campaigning can take place, so here you have to be quite careful and , uh, the polling station is not the place. for some political demonstrations views. eh, some kind of e prefer. there and so on and so forth is a place where citizens with different opinions with different positions are taken and expressed in the form of a filled-in bulletin in conditions. e secrets of the will of expression, this applies not only to opponents, but also to supporters of those who are active . naturally. it's no way. uh does not single out any of the general principles. uh, the organization of the electoral law for all unity. quite right on election day. after all, you can sometimes come to an urgent vote and take a picture of your bulletin. no, you can't do that during the voting process either. this is also important to hear, because they can uh limit themselves to the fact that this is not voting day. well, we are now preparing methodological recommendations, some norms that may be,

somewhere on the rumor and somewhere as a result of those, er, reports that our media present, and so on. they will, of course, be described in more detail so that the commissions and the entities that organize the elections themselves are uniform. that they uniformly apply these norms one of the components of electoral sovereignty, which we are talking about more and more often, is the creation of an effective legal , informational, financial and organizational technical barrier to external interference. e in the electoral process. we managed to build. here is the barrier we believe to a certain extent. yes, some innovations have already been reflected. these are the moments that you are talking about, in general, in general, you need to understand that electoral sovereignty, as a term that appeared in the concept of national security, which, by the way, now undergoing public discussion. eh, bye. here in the concept it is shown in the form of, uh, definitions, what is electoral sovereignty, well, briefly, i will say, the inalienable

right of the state to independently, without any outside interference, conduct its own electoral campaigns. here it is, the main thing, the inalienable right of this must be adhered to, and it is based on international law on the foundations of international law in particular. uh, the un charter where any interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state is prohibited, and elections are the internal affairs of a sovereign state only here, and next to it is the resolution of the united nations next to international conventions, treaties and so on. and uh. here we see four main areas of work. you just named. this is the first direction and here what we have done. well, first of all, there is a specific ban on funding political parties and public associations that participate in the electoral process. yes, increased requirements for candidates, and deputies members of the council of the republic a. the delegates of the entire belarusian assembly of

presidential candidates already have citizenship. it is the neighbor himself - this is the value of citizenship. yes, this is an age limit. eh, that's eh, that means eh. this category of deputies of the house of representatives is members from this republic and the president. in general , they should not have any criminal record, regardless of whether it is removed or canceled and so on. that is, these are very serious and stringent requirements put forward here, but besides this, there are also a number of other areas. here i touched. uh, international organizations, international observer and so on. here it is necessary to use the platform of international organizations and serious such, but authoritative international structures in order to nevertheless develop in the international community in world ownership a unified approach and criteria for determining what democratic elections are, and therefore what standards must be met all countries, again, regardless of whether they are small countries or large strange

countries of the west or the east of the country. uh, is it with advanced democracy or maybe with developing country, there and so on, but there is one more important direction. this e is put behind the elephant by a certain, a politician who can, by virtue of the power of choice. and positions. and here, well, uh, suddenly begin to act not in the national interests of our state and against the interests of our people. but here, let's put it this way. well, here's a prime example. uh, well, here in moldova the last manifestation is now taking place regarding the renaming on may 9, yes, yes. well, uh, president, when she went to the polls, she didn't spoke about the population that e will rename. uh, and generally postpone the holiday. may 9 and do it. uh, in the afternoon there, uh memory zhert, there and so on may 8, as it is done in europe well, at least if you came to power, so then, and you did not declare this in your election program.

someone is supporting you. so you, at least, at least tell the citizens, a and somehow discuss with the citizens. after all , there are such examples, it was possible to hold some kind of parliamentary hearings on this report. yes , it was possible, but to get feedback from citizens in the form of some appeals there, or some kind of broad discussion there , it was possible in the end to hold a referendum, as was done in our country more than once correctly, and to predetermine these things. today, the entire belarusian assembly will determine the strategic path of development, which will allow, and prevent damage to the national and state interests of our country. well, and one more direction, the fourth, to secure the participants, and the organizers of the electoral process, because we also saw examples when and the elections have not yet come, just uh, which means a commission is being formed, and already some members of these commissions have been subjected to bullying threats. and from the outside, which means different messengers were abandoned. uh, letters came with threats, went to the children

of relatives and so on. well, then, uh, what kind of free and open will there can be talk of, if we suppose, a some kind of brawl will be arranged there or or violation of public order, or god forbid, some other corners. at e-e polling station or in the country in general e will be er, restless, god forbid, some kind of hostilities, there and so on and so forth, so these are all things. they must be provided for by law, the authorities are obliged to ensure the security of any electoral campaign from what you called it more than such forecasts. you know , it would be nice to sit down at the negotiating table. it would be nice if the president did not change course during his reign. so let's say, the most striking example is probably zelensky, which the world promised. unfortunately, we know than on your knees. yes, he asked for forgiveness, he promised that it was necessary, that stop the war in the donbas as a result. in the end , everything came out. eh, brother, a murderous war and witnesses that we all are today

in this regard, it is very important another moment. you said that the choice is only internal, but it has never been so in our country that this is only an internal affair of the state. unfortunately, some becomes a monk the most important for all sorts of scoundrels in order to do their business here. to do this, we must understand that the electoral system is part of the state system national state system, a certain constitution and, accordingly, and all the forces of the state should be thrown into ensuring electoral security, but from here. i think the concept is being discussed now. i think that some positions, so to speak. yes, they will be taken into account. by the way, i also participated in the round table, which was held at the belarusian institute for strategic studies with the participation, and the representatives of the security council and the structures of departments are interested. we work closely with law enforcement agencies to in order to ensure security, which means at the polling stations. eh, in general. e in the regional aspect and so on. we

are privy to some issues that law enforcement officers must solve today in accordance with the current legislation here. we understand that the forecast made an ungrateful one. i still have two points of view today. we have repeatedly focused attention in this studio on the upcoming elections, that they will be held calmly, because, for example, ukraine has sobered many. citizens, and yet there are some assumptions that no. and again, they will try to shake us up that you think that the elections will still be held calmly. i hope, because, well, i know that a lot is being done in the country to ensure that , uh, the elections are held in a calm, that means conditions in a stable calm environment, but at the same time, uh, well, you can’t underestimate, uh, the certain work of certain structures, and they work those questions, of course. must be in the field of view of all interested e, not only the central election commission. and not so much, probably, central election commission. how much a well vertical of state power. and now we 're going to take a short break. after a short pause

of the basics, we will return to this studio, while subscribe to our telegram channel. that's what it 's called. say don't be silent. leave your comments. offer us guests, and look for all our releases on the belarus 1 youtube channel. in our project , we will show you unique personalities, as you are just starting to make, a flannel robe and slippers. everything here can be crossed. no, you can't, you can't. i laugh even when you go to take out the trash, you need to put yourself in order, and suddenly, in order not to subscribe with creative energy. here i am just trying them out. i stroke them. and here it is , such tactile sensations. they help me a lot here. it's like meditation for
