my older cousin met us and she and i immediately went for a walk in the center of minsk. it was a sunny june day, a noisy metropolis, a big city, very beautiful, everything was unusual, well, for me it was like some kind of adventure, a new country, new impressions. and i knew almost nothing about belor before coming here, just some small stories about my relatives. therefore, my main acquaintance with this country occurred , of course, when i studied at school, at the university, getting acquainted with the language, culture, literature, this all happened much later, gradually. moving to another country is a very radical, very responsible step that entails very big changes in everyone’s life. for us, of course, the key role was played by the advice of our relatives, well, in general, some general information about the country, its location, its... culture close in some sense to

ours, of course, we have different cultures, but we have a lot in common, simpler probably adaptation occurs than in some other countries. i myself came from the rostov region, village oblievskaya. cossack region, so to speak, our family already moved to belarus when i was 16 years old, i had wonderful impressions in belarus, because all my life my dad told me how good belarus is, how good people live here, how calm, everything , i was only in belarus once, we were little then, and the first thing we heard was belarusian speech , well, we liked it, even when we were children, here... it was interesting, we played in the yard,

met friends , it was great for me i really liked it, and i was always drawn to belarus, so i always told my dad, maybe we’ll move, maybe we’ll move, that’s what they decided, we moved to belarus , i was already finishing eleventh grade here, when i first arrived here, i was afraid , that how they would accept me here, but when i came to school for the first time with such fear... and all my future classmates surrounded me, introduced me, they surrounded me, started asking questions, and so friendly, immediately getting to know each other, i immediately felt like i was wary of all this, so some kind of defensive reaction appeared, i was silent, maybe so to speak, but they got to know each other so persistently that i didn’t believe that this could happen, that such kind people could exist, i somehow expected something completely different.

we are located near the pavlov sukhoi technical university, which i graduated from in 2012, and i studied at the faculty of automated information systems, department

of industrial electronics, and in general my specialty is microprocessor, microelectronic information management systems, this is all electronics, the insides of the equipment, microcontrollers, programs for them, and also the so-called hardware, that is, such a diverse profession as an electronics engineer, the studies are actually quite difficult, because the profession is so relevant, but i cannot say that it was difficult for me to study. .. probably because it was interesting, there were very good teachers who knew how to create an atmosphere that drew everyone into this process, and somehow i always looked forward to these classes, some practical tasks, i can say that belarusian education allowed me to do my favorite thing, it gives me some opportunities to develop in my profession, i think that it was quite enough for me, that when

you come to your place of work, you still need to engage in additional self-education, study a lot of information it was in the industry in which you found yourself that i never really regretted that i... entered this university, i am very grateful to the teachers who gave me the knowledge that i can still use today, when i just... went to gomel to enroll, i submitted documents, that’s it, i realized that i now need housing, i need housing, but i couldn’t yet imagine how to look for it, because now there is the internet, you can google, look at something, there are a lot of advertisements somewhere, keep it local, but

i’m looking for housing, everything will come out like a platter for you, i just went to the newspaper, bought all these newspapers that were there, but there was nothing, i nothing more it’s not a long house, i just walked everywhere where people were sitting and just asked, i’m so lucky, they were sitting on there are three grandmothers in the shop, and one says: oh, marusya, don’t you know, maybe you , maybe you live alone, maybe you’ll rent out, she says, i don’t know, but i’m lucky, she sympathized with me, found out that here i am from the train, which a lot of time has passed, she invited me for tea, we drank tea, she said, well, i can’t rent out your apartment, well, come to me, if anything happens, well, at first i was upset, left, went home, no i found an apartment, and then, i think, it ’s already time, it’s already the end of august, i should already

think that she came straight back to this i went to visit my grandmother for tea, because i already had a friend here, she thought and said: stay, i’m so lucky, that is, so... i was lucky to meet right away, that’s how i came to belarus, they treated me only good, good, good people, kind people who want to help you, the best way is to remember to spend the weekend. take yourself a little trip. it seems to me that i have found a unique corner of belarus, which will become a place of power for many. together we will visit a belarusian village. i returned to the village to my grandmother, just look, here is the ideal option for

a complete reboot, no gadgets of the benefits of civilization. we will visit the largest boulder in the volozhin region. if you believe it, people. a sign that your wish will definitely come true, you need to leave a coin on the top of the stone, we will learn all the intricacies of wood carving, well, in fact, it’s just like some kind of meditation, because when it goes well, it’s very pleasant, see the route in the program built on tv channel belarus 24. young man, please tell me what is made of this spatula? girl, maybe you'd better freeze it? i tried it, it doesn’t help, i wanted to call you, i just had an idea for a new novel , there was a meeting of the founders, it’s hell, they realized that we’re not publishing you anymore, who’s here, damn it, you ’re lying about something, you and i have been divorced for six months

, i can’t stand these jokes of yours, don’t you want to come back to me, what are you doing there , it’s a marketing ploy, i’m just a writer, i need to sell copies, and here, as you know, it’s cheating. only dead writers, okay, yes, getting better and better every second, here you haven’t screwed in a single screw in 3 years, so you haven’t screwed in a single screw, watch the series , good day, this weekend on the belarus 24 tv channel . this is the gomel state medical university, i entered general medicine in 2005, and i graduated from it, though already in

2012, because i had a break from my studies due to academic leave , i received a specialty in therapy, i remember my student years with warmth, it somehow felt like this was the only time when we lived life to the fullest. now we we are located on the territory of the gomel city clinical hospital number two. for the last 8 years i have been working here as a medical equipment engineer. after graduating from university, i worked at a military plant for more than a year, but i was constantly in search of a more interesting, promising job, and then one day i ended up in a hospital. i am involved in technical organization. equipment, repair work, commissioning of new equipment,

our hospital is multidisciplinary, we have three intensive care units, five operating rooms, on the basis of our institution there is a city maternity hospital, there is also a therapeutic department, and in general the hospital as a whole is like a large living organism, where everything is interconnected, you need to constantly maintain all systems so that everything functions smoothly and without interruptions. now we are in the clinical diagnostic laboratory of our hospital, in the hematological research room, there is various equipment, hematological analyzers, and my task is to ensure that the equipment continuously functioned and could conduct round-the-clock research for patients. graduates of my specialty work in industrial, manufacturing enterprises, some... are included in the it sphere, because our training involved both an analog and software part, i am

more interested in working with people, with staff, a lot of contact with medical staff, with service departments, to support our equipment, i am more interested in live work, so while i am here, the medical community in the hospital received me quite warily, because the girl was an engineer after university, for intensive care, for the operating unit. it was very strange, and many did not take me seriously , and were not sure that anything would come of it, but time passed, some work was carried out and now i can say that we are on friendly terms with very many doctors and sisters, with all the staff, we have developed a good relationship, i was lucky, hello, hello, take a seat, just like in the theater, it all starts with the wardrobe, so in the hospital

it all starts with the emergency department, the emergency department is the most difficult department in the hospital and in the hospital in general, as work during a pandemic has shown , a specialist in the emergency department must see the patient in a short period of time, assess his condition and make a decision, as in military conditions . triage then decide on treatment tactics and further introduction of supervision of this patient, so lesya fedna, i don’t know, was lucky, unlucky, she was appointed head of the admissions department in 2019, already in the spring in the twentieth year, we entered into conditions of infection and spent 7 months as

... the lack of experience was compensated by the knowledge gained both at the university in an internship and somewhere with a craving for some kind of independent knowledge, somehow they say from the flames we we come out stronger, but this is how the steel was tempered, like nikolai ostrovsky , and here it is... that people have forgotten how to listen to other people, to listen, to somehow empathize with them, but

i have a gift, i have a gift to listen to people, perhaps i found myself in this profession and it was on in this place, because people who seek medical help, let them come by ambulance or seek help themselves, they have some possible fear that they don’t know what to do, whether they are doing the right thing, whether they came there, and the main thing is to, well, help them, uh, to meet them, one might say, with a greeting, when a person smiles, yes, his timboros... is softer, then they calm down, as if they were in good hands, and for a sick person this is very important , because against the background of serious illnesses or some kind of emergency condition, a person and is so scared, upset, and when he sees that the doctor and the medical staff are calm, they talk to him kindly, they try

to help him, he calms down himself, just like the patients’ relatives calm down. therefore, i always put emphasis not only on the professionalism of work, yes, that is, constantly reinforcing my knowledge and skills, but also on the ethics and pre-ontology of the doctor of all medical personnel, well, i think that this is very important, i am glad that it is here. .. i still chose this profession, because before that i i didn't think about it.

in belarus i had the opportunity to visit small cities, regional ones, and i really liked it... brest, i was impressed by the brest fortress, it is such a place filled with energy, history, it is very interesting to visit there. after the years i have lived in belarus, i can say that i feel at home here, in my place, now it seems to me that belarusians are distinguished by the fact that they are always ready to come to each other’s rescue, support each other in difficult times, this is the most striking feature for me is myself i already feel more like a russian person than a russian person, because everything is somehow mixed up , culture, language, some habits, gomel is a very colorful city, there are a lot of places for walking, so my family and i like to go to the park, right now

we are in an amusement park, children ride with pleasure, they love this activity, we can just stroll along the embankment, we have a lot of... children's towns where you can relax, and just eat ice cream, look at the sosh river, from the bridge with the embankment , gomel has become for me hometown, since i not only received an education here, but met my beloved husband, who changed my entire worldview with his kindness, yes, purely belarusian love, we had two children, the eldest dima. i gave birth to him after the third year of university and the youngest gleb, he is now 8 years old, i gave birth to him already at the internship, now we have such a big friendly family of four people, belarus is conscious in order to create a family here, and belarusians themselves with their nature is to help their children, not only financially,

but with my time i can help raise my children and my grandchildren. i am very grateful to my mother-in-law and father-in-law that for the most part they helped us create a family, because without them i would not have been able to finish my studies, get an education, they never even said, we won’t help, spin as you want, they always don’t worry, we will help you, you have someone to count on, if you study and work, we will help you. we will be only too glad. in belarus, all conditions have been created to start a family, have children, and not be afraid, that you won’t be able to at least raise

them while you’re on maternity leave, being here, i wanted to start a family, give birth to children, and i wasn’t afraid of anything, that is... i somehow felt some kind of security. when you are in nature, it seems that the world has fallen into silence. all the sounds of bustle have disappeared, only the song of the wind specially caresses the ear so that you look around.
