travel, that they find time for this, and for themselves to develop in number, because they are here as part of the festival. we are not only people we entertain, but also enlighten from the point of view of the nature of mythology, and sciences as well, yes, therefore, they find time to come to see in addition to the belarusians. these are, of course, russian guests, including ours, and partners from natural russian territories. these are invited guests and just citizens of russia, because with the opening of borders they are traveling again and traveling en masse to the berezinsky biosphere reserve. why , for the third year now , his work has been chosen for the berezinsky biosphere reserve as the venue for the festival korotkevich. he landed in the garden, it is described that he could live in lake lepel, therefore it is documented, well, conditionally documented, yes, it is recorded, and therefore , including installations of a smoke monument on the shores of lake lipetskoye and for many years, the lipetsk

regional executive committee held the so-called festival with guests for lepel smog in parallel with this festival. and we began to develop e, mythological themes in our country in the sixteenth year, we created e, the center of mythological tourism and began to hold such a small festival they also have a swamp, but since 2019 , these two festivals have merged, rebranded, and such a festival was born from the berezinsky biosphere reserve of belarusian mythology. it is very very diverse even before we even started with mythology in the reserve. i personally knew very little about mythology, as most belarusians think, because for some reason we know greek mythology well, roman mythology, but belarusians. for us, such a small little white speck. what do you think that we, the inhabitants of the planet, need to do in order to preserve nature, do not cut down, fox mindlessly do not burn fires, where it is not supposed to. yes, do not burn

nature, just think about nature and that this is your and our home, yes, and not a place that we only exploit slavic mythology of many characters. why exactly could ah, you know, could, yes or, in russian, a dragon, and this is such a character that catches everyone's interest. yes, the chinese dragon lun , the scandinavian dragon fafnir, the belarusian dragon could dragons. it is something that is internal. yes, a person is interested therefore, i could, firstly, this is a good marketing ploy in terms of attracting tourists, but our smog and the festival and the place yes, why could you, the berezinsky reserve has a history, but it is recorded by local ethnographers so interesting, and the legend of belief that they they really believed that you could live in the lepel lake,

and through the canal system it sails to the territory of the reserve. there is such a village. volovo mountain. and here comes to this village along the canals a special ceremony. the wedding was believed that if a young couple did not to treat smoke, and how did they treat this to dishes? and, of course, moonshine, that if she does not treat, then family life will be bad. and if you give a treat, he could. they will favor them and contribute to a good life, so they went out to the gateway, which is on the canal of the gross mountain, and treated the smog, so this is really recorded by the nugraphs. what is considered cultural property? yes, not material, but she is a legend. and here she is the connection. bereninsky biosphere reserve could festival of mythology the festival was opened by a colorful carnival procession with mythological characters. here is the owner

of the swamps, the grandfather of the swamp, his unusual wife, the kikimora. werewolf human werewolf troublemaker playful mermaids. and, of course, he is a belarusian dragon. smog holiday guests. we were waiting for interactive locations , a medieval zone, a shamanic location and even a real viking city, theatrical performances, bright performances, performances of musical groups, original master classes from the belarusian crafts club. there was also a fair in the format of the city of masters demonstrated the possibilities of your body. belarusian fakir artist of the original genre nikolai shahlevich in his show program the possibilities of the human body. and everyone could take part in the festival quest and win memorable prizes. in the house of ecological education, during the day, open lectures were held, speeches from experts in belarusian

mythology , we managed to talk with one of them daria fukost an expert in the field of tourism told which destinations are the most popular in the belarusian tourism market and not only daria good afternoon. hello, you are an expert in the field of tourism. tell our viewers it will be interesting to know. what destinations are currently popular in tourism. this is what is in demand in the tourism market, but it seems to me that now, uh, belarusians have become more and more interested in eco-tourism, and, that is , some popular trips to the reserves in the national park, respectively, and now tourists go to the berezinsky reserves, and it is becoming popular and unusual excursion, for example, here in one of the reserves in the grodno region. eat an unusual trip on a narrow gauge. that is , in the mud, tourists can drive, or you can. the island is melting on the largest island of belarus before it, in the osveisky reserve , tourists also began to travel more often, i don’t know,

to watch birds. that is, now there are small belarusian travel agencies that offer excursions related to the collection of herbs. uh, just walking in the woods. and as it turned out. this is what the belarusians have been missing for a long time. previously, all the time they went somewhere abroad for this. and now we tried our own product. also, there is an increasing number of proposals related to gastronomic tourism. that is, these are trips to farms in the cargo of production estates. that is, people are interested in people. i don’t know to look at the first snails to try cheeses to try honey to learn more about how it is made in general , and well, and, of course, a classic. with us, this is a holiday in farmsteads. this is rural tourism. we now have about 3,000 votes in the country and uh, which is nice, it's not easy. homesteads that offer excursions on horseback are tasting workshops on making

souvenirs. uh, quests, alloy. kayaking is now the berezinsky biosphere reserve hosting the third international festival of slavic mythology in the way of smoke. what do you think is the reason for this interest? e to mythology. well i think it's interesting here. not only to mythology, in general, as their own culture. i mean, we don't really know much. and even when we are talking about mythology. eh, people, first of all, probably, will remember some slavic characters. and at the same time, here in belarusian mythology. eat many unique characters. and of course, there is lyapevsky smog here, which is probably the most famous character in belarusian mythology. well, mythology. this is part of the belarusian culture, and it seems to me that it is very important for people to know their roots, and they probably do. i feel it implicitly, and somehow daria is studying it and who are the main tourists, but

the main tourists are, of course, our belarusians, but if we are talking about foreign tourists, most likely, these are, of course, russians. that is, now there are a lot russian tourists come and they come not only to minsk, they come to regional cities and to the game of estates and some nature protection objects. well, also , of course, foreigners come to us, the same lithuanians, when a visa-free regime was announced for citizens of lithuania and poland , latvia became very much too. yes, there are a lot of tourists coming from lithuania and latvia, of course, first of all, probably, they still come to minsk. but for many citizens. here are the neighboring countries, probably, the visa-free regime turned out to be the factor due to which they were able to come to belarus because, of course, there used to be a visa-free regime through a flight to the airport, but for lithuania, latvia , this, of course, is probably not an option. and now, uh. well, i see, probably,

these tourists, of course, tourists from germany and france and poland still come, but they have become a little less. well, but our tourists fill these gaps. now that is also very excited busy day. it was replaced by an equally bright and eventful evening on the big stage , eminent belarusian groups performed, and after the guests the festival was waiting for a colorful fire show, all those who are not indifferent to belarusian legends and myths, as if they were satisfied. i the festival

ended the majestic smog of his retinue. i will wait for guests next year to once again remind us how important it is to take care of nature and how unique and original belarusian mythology is. take care of nature and follow the fashion trends of the cultural life of our country alina was not a war with you and remember to be cultured. it's fashionable see you in a week before new cultural meetings.
