in 831, the library was transported to st. petersburg, but a year before that , the first belarusian public library was opened in the grodno region, and several decades later the first reading room appeared in it. this library, by the way, has been operating to this day, since 1957, and bears the name of the first belarusian academician evfimy karsky. another library that still exists is the library named after pushkin . in terms of collections, it becomes the seventh in the soviet union, and, as they would say today, is among the top 30 best libraries in the world, however more than 80% of the funds were plundered by the nazis during the great patriotic war, and the most valuable books and manuscripts were taken to germany. the modern history of librarianship in our country began on march 7, 2002, when the president of belarus signed a decree. building

of the national library of belarus. on june 16 , 2006, the diamond of knowledge built literally by the entire country was opened and became not just a repository of books, but a real information and sociocultural center of belarus. another library "the pride of our country, its doors opened almost 100 years ago. i’m talking now about the central scientific library named after yakub kolos, about what books are now stored there, who can come there, we’ll find out right now, in our studio its director stanislav, hello, good afternoon, stanislav, let’s start with the central scientific the library, who its main reader is, a scientist, or absolutely anyone can come and read what they want, well, of course, our main reader is a scientist, first of all, because we are a scientific organization. theka is

senior students, undergraduates, postgraduate researchers, that is, we are aimed primarily at serving the scientific personnel of our country, but in general, any interested adult reader can come and sign up for our library, we have a large subscription to receive not only scientific , popular science literature, well, in general, we have a large layer, an array of fiction, science fiction , and so on, that is, of course, our profile is scientific, but in general we also serve readers for a wide range of their needs. the task... taking into account the fact that the focus on the main reader is the scientist, yes, to collect scientific literature? well, first of all, yes, we collect scientific literature, purchase scientific literature if necessary, and not only on the territory of the republic of belarus, but abroad, primarily on the territory of the russian federation, this is the collection of naturally scientific literature, this is our profile, in the first place, naturally scientific literature, but in general we purchase in all scientific areas to ensure

information... the needs of our belarusian science, we try to purchase and acquire fiction in various ways, because we have a great interest in both scientific workers in such literature in order to distract ourselves, entertain ourselves, and so on, and in the residents of the city of minsk, who they also sign up and come to us not only for scientific information, but at the same time they take fiction literature, that is, we can say that the scientific library is at the same time the most universal, yes, yes. of course, okay then let's talk about purpose, or something, about the main functions today, this is, well, clearly not just a book storage, no, of course, in general, in the modern world a library is more than a book depository, much more than just serving readers, if we are talking about a scientific library, first of all, it is servicing the information requests of modern belarusian science, that is, it is not only individual scientists, but also individual institutes. according to requests, for example, in

the field of information technology, in the field of history, chemistry, biology, physics, and so on, this also includes conducting scientific research itself, we are a scientific library, we not only store knowledge, but we increase it, we have a number of scientific research units in the field of library knowledge, but also history, the history of science as a source of knowledge, and lastly time we began to develop this, so we acquire this scientific knowledge, that is, we are engaged in scientific research, that is, the book depository is at the same time a whole research center, yes, yes, yes, of course, but it was also not always, it’s only probably, well, not so long ago, that’s precisely the biases towards scientific research, or always 100 years ago too, 100 years ago belarusian science was also just emerging, this is the institute of belarusian culture, then the twenty-ninth year is the creation of the belarusian academy of sciences , which has gone all the way to today’s national academy of sciences of belarus, it is clear that the library also developed in various historical periods. yes, initially, it was

primarily a book depository, collecting information at that time to provide the emerging young belarusian academic science has this information, but gradually, especially after the period of the great patriotic war. it’s especially since the sixties and seventies that research has begun at the present stage, yes, and when i became the director , as a scientist, i came from the institute of history, i began to direct the team towards more active work in the field of research, including history, the history of books, history of scientists, because we have a large layer of materials on the history of science, that is, these are the personal archives of scientists in belarus, we store, first of all, of course, scientists of the academy of sciences, but not only the academy of sciences, so yes, this is the development of scientific research, because we ourselves store a large layer of this information and who, if not us, should be the pioneers in many questions, that is, start studying this

information, writing books, research based on it, and whoever is working, well, probably , there should be some specialists to deal with these scientific issues. yes, the library staff is more than 135 people, now 139, of course, most of it is like staff who serve the library business, because ordinary people sometimes have such a simplified idea of ​​the library that a book comes, they just put it on the shelf then, if necessary, they give it out, if not necessary, it sits there, in fact, this is a big process, the book arrives to the library, it must be included in the appropriate catalogs, including the electronic catalog, which is open to all users and you can go from your personal... computer to order, well, the necessary information, but for in order for it to be convenient like this, this is a very long process, but regarding your question about scientific research , yes, we have a center for the study of early printed manuscripts, it was created at the beginning of this year, it includes two departments, the first

department - this is for book studies, because we have a large layer of old printed publications, and a separate department, headed by a young researcher, candidate of sciences in rublevsky vadim, is a department of research... that is, this is a department specifically for source identification, they are aimed to study the heritage that is libraries, but also to develop, including the methodology, in general, the theory of sources, including our historical sciences, that is, these are historians, philologists, our candidates mainly prevail in historical sciences, but there are also philological candidate, i know that you still have many virtual projects, and our correspondents are ready to talk about them in detail. the best way to unforgettably spend the weekend is to take a short trip. it seems to me that i have found a unique corner of belarus, which for it will become a place of power for many; together we will visit a belarusian village. i returned from the village to

my grandmother, just look, this is the ideal option for a complete reboot, no gadgets of the benefits of civilization. we visit the largest volun in the volozhin region, if you believe folk superstitions, in order for your wish to come true, you need to leave a coin on top of the stone, we learn all the intricacies of wood carving, well, in fact, it’s just like some kind of meditation, because when it’s good it’s going exactly, it’s very nice, look in the program the route is based on tv channel belarus 24. we are working on expeditions in the corners of our country. what will we be a slave? we follow the blessings, listen to the songs, and look forward to the passing of the pasture. let's follow the history and myastsovye abrads. humy, you haven’t forgotten that a new dacha

has appeared for you. so you need to do your best, guess what. so, in any case, this is a good idea, and we give these old traditions a new life. we, byztomy adshukvaem adzinki tago, into. the result is a national song crisis on the fires of the cossacks and the horses that came out pavadzitsa yes lyuli i vyshlі konі pavodzіts da lyuli i vyshlі kony pavodzіts da lyuli і vіlі kony pavodzіtsi za zam s projects in advance on tv channel belarus 244. despite the fact that the central scientific

library of our academy of sciences systematically hosts real thematic exhibitions, everyone who wants to visit them cannot, this scientists solved the problem with the help of the virtual world, for example, in the foundation. there are not only ancient books, but also a rich manuscript fund, which is unique because it is only with us, in only one copy, these are archival documents, the founders of which are our prominent scientists, writers, literary figures, cultural, public, who made a significant contribution to the development of our state, among them kandrat kropiva, vladimir koratkevich, jaan kabrel, maxim luzhanin, maxim gorevsky, vladimir dubovko and many, many others. and in order to make the collections available to readers , a draft manuscripts do not burn was created on the library website. it consists of several sections. there is a description of the pyography of the educator’s foundation, description of the fund a link to the composition of the fund, where

anyone can find out what documents are in a particular archive. there are already more than twenty descriptions of our figures on the site and work on this project continues. and at the same time , the library has virtual projects that differ from live exhibitions; exhibitions of books and illustrations are presented. they were made specifically in order to present them in the digital environment, they are dedicated to historical dates, some events, anniversaries, interesting publications, in them presented mainly, of course, a collection of rare books and manuscripts , thereby we also describe them in a beautiful, interesting form and provide access to our readers, but we position and promote not only rare books, one of such significant, interesting projects is our virtual exhibitions are modern, one of them is about the chernobyl accident, there are thematic books, by clicking on which you can get into the electronic catalog,

and then order publications, another interesting exhibition, which is dedicated to the first day of the war, the exhibition is called between peace and war, about the events of june 22, 1941, a very interesting project, in addition to the sections of the exhibition itself, where literature is presented, there is also information, the chronology of this first day, the memory of people who became witnesses of those events of that time, this is all gleaned from books, which are also presented at this exhibition, the same principle, when we open the list of references, we can click on the book to get into our electronic catalog. and by the way, the electronic catalog itself is essentially also a virtual project; readers no longer have questions about where to find the necessary literature and how to order it. for some readers it may be, well, a pleasant surprise, let’s say, that when searching for a book in an electronic catalog, he can find scanned contents of this

book and even individual books, we have them represented in full text in the catalog, not all of them, of course, but digitization is also one of the activities of the library, so it is very nice when you can find a book in in electronic form, in expanded text, including on the library’s website, well, the real pride of the scientific library is the memorial office of the belarusian scientist writer. glebka, according to his biographers, from a very early age he loved to read, this passion remained until the end of his days. like any other collector , during my lifetime i wondered what would happen to my library when i was gone. during the opening of the new library building in which we are located. in 1967, he was so inspired by the high mountains he saw ceilings, such huge dreamy halls, bright, uh, nine-tier book depository, that he decided that his... the library will be the property of people, readers,

that he transfers it our funds, to us here in the library of the academy of sciences, what actually happened, and the library is now in a separate office, this office completely replicates the room in which he lived on karl marx street, along with the books, we were given equipment, bookcases, shelves, a desk... table, some items that stood in office, portraits of pyotr fodorovich, his wife, nina ilarionovna, a bust by azgur, books, books, books, now , thanks to the virtual project of the library, you can look at this office without leaving your home, a website has been created called the glebka memorial office online, in our library, which presents sections, views of the office from different angles. the office is presented, a description of some of the items that are in this office, a description of the book collection, uh, information about

the catalog, which was also published in anniversary year, in which all the books that are here in this library are described, a bibliography is given, books by pyotr fedorovich himself, books about him, some handwritten documents and a media library are presented, in the media library you can even find a film about pyotr glebka himself. you watch the science project nearby and don’t miss the final part of the program. new opportunities and new competencies: what specialists are in demand in librarianship today? what exclusives does the country's main scientific library store? and what

do the rarest books look like in large program report. they connected their lives with the countryside and realized ideas that at first few of those around them believed in. i don’t like the partnership that is located in podilsk, that is, it’s six acres of land. i wanted more space and more, as it were, fresh air away from the heroes of the project about life in belarus. .. it grows here, about 150 tons of wheat and rapeseed are produced? yes, of course, it’s very difficult to believe the numbers are simply threatening, he will suggest the presenter to master something new and unusual an activity for city dwellers. will three tasks be ready for you? i’ve arrived, the first test is to climb up here, i’m sitting high

, looking far away, well, great, 20 monsters, 20 bullets, one me, one you, well, some kind of prize? and today, without watching the show i'm from the village, on our tv channel, why children have become bargaining chips for ukraine, and because this country is bankrupt and today the west can pay for weapons, it can only use black soil and its future, terrible stories are told by ukrainians who ended up in countries european union, such a monstrous drinking event i haven’t heard anywhere when it’s eaten at home... right away, it’s just like a product, in mariupol they gave me several books about ukrainian nationalism, the appearance of one of them dates back to 1950, this is only confirmation that after the announcement of the victory of the ussr over nazi germany, bandera's supporters continued their underground struggle with the support of the west. it’s good that there is lukashenko in belarus, he saved it, it would have been the same, it might even

be terrible. the author's project of ksenia lebedeva is different. new episodes on belarus 24 tv channel . we continue to talk about the scientific library of our country, stanislav, what is the fund today and how regularly is it replenished, although... you know the question, it seems to me that it is replenished when it needs to be replenished, the fund is quite large, it is more than 4 million storage units, as of today, regarding replenishment, we have two main ways, let's say, there is one way , it is so traditional, we, as a national library, receive legal copies of all the literature that is published on the territory of the republic of belarus, and even children's literature and comics, if we have some

published to the level of the most serious scientific ones, this is one way of replenishment, but the second way is specialized, that is... we purchase specialized literature in those areas that we are conducting in principle in science, this is both on the territory of belarus, and mainly from the territory russian federation, that is, this is a leading scientific publication, the russian academy of sciences, a number of other academic university centers of russian science, well, in general, we work with information databases, the world's largest, if the library has real world exclusives, each book is an exclusive, on the one hand, but of course, what we are proud of and what we... have been developing lately and we hope will raise it to a whole new level, yes, this is our old printed edition of the manuscript, we have a fairly large collection of early printed publications dating back to the 15th century, a large collection of very interesting manuscripts dating back to the 17th, 18th, 19th centuries, including books written in belarusian text, but in arabic writing, for example,

such unique publications, but in general and of course, yes, we are aimed at developing our fund of old printed publications, because there are, for example, books... from the 18th century, we recently held a meeting with our russian colleagues to develop this topic together with them, now everyone is hearing the topic of the history of our various historical periods and many, well, there are discussions, including, well, in the information field about states , here’s an example, we have a rather interesting book on religious subjects , the gospel, the bible, 18th century, but written in cyrillic, published in vilna, forward speeches polish-lithuanian commonwealth, that is, these books show that the orthodox population, despite... the religious oppression that they received, this cannot be denied in the polish-lithuanian commonwealth, but nevertheless, they fought for their self-identification, including religious self-identification, at that time it was one of the determining factors... the means of being able to publish, despite various obstacles, these religious books, in order to satisfy one’s need for religious information at that time, that is , for example, based on the study of these books can

to show that despite the religious oppression , our population is orthodox, she lived at that time, she still fought, as it were, for her self-identification, including this is reflected in these old printed publications. listen, this is how everything is intertwined, it would seem, yes , once just librarianship, here there is already a scientific center, some manuscripts, something that is projected onto today’s situation, and onto today’s problems, which are also discussed in society, librarianship in itself, it is already another, it’s also here - you also have a universal one, here’s a librarian, he’s probably completely different than a librarian 10, 15 or 20 years ago, this is perhaps a question, it’s applicable to any profession, on the one hand he’s the same as me i think the presenter on... but also 20 years ago there were the same presenters, but on the other hand, the world is changing and people, their needs, they are changing, including informational ones, and it is clear that today’s reader, especially if they are young scientists,

we we are working with a scientist, they are of course different from the ones that were, they have more of a request on the information component, that is, they may be less interested in reading books in physical terms, but we nevertheless satisfy their requests, the book in electronic form, for example, and so on, but i still want to say that the book is physical. in terms of nothing can replace it, after all, this is such a classic type of information storage and quite reliable, we all know that in order to use electronic resources now, you need the internet, electricity, and many, for example, foreign information resources, they are in the hands of those owners who are now abroad, and we, in principle, also felt this to a certain extent, if they do not want to provide information, or, let’s say , god forbid, they turn off the internet for various reasons, now we live in such a world with serious challenges. then access to this electronic information will be sharply limited, books that lie in book depositories and that are stored forever, as they say, they will allow us to use the necessary

information that our reader or scientist, and so on. stanislav, thank you very much, i completely agree with you, and we continue, another place in the central scientific library of the academy of sciences of belarus, which we did not talk about, but which visitors really want to see, is the rare books department, what they don’t look like and how they got into the library , my colleagues will tell you. one of the most significant rare books, which is stored in the central scientific library of the academy of sciences of belarus, is the great art of artillery of the 16th century, written by kazimir semenovich. until now there has not been a single belarusian critical edition of this work. this is a publication that contains indexes to this book. yeah, it will be geographical, nominal , terminological, that is, so right away a book on artillery is difficult to read for a person who is not particularly privy to this, with the help

of pointers he can find the subject of interest in this book and immediately turn to it, that is, a plus there are also scientific comments and prefaces that explain how this book was created, what concept it was written according to, how to use it and about the authors. in fact, such a critical edition is already ready; after analyzing the book, scientists came to the conclusion that this particular copy was owned by an english family. in principle, it was not difficult to find out; on the book there is a so-called exlibris, paper with the coat of arms of the family and a map. each of our books has its own original path, and these can be captured books, and these can be books purchased from private individuals, these can be books that came to us from libraries of the former soviet union, when we were still within the framework of the soviet union, but these can... purchased from private individuals even within the borders of our country. so, another rare book, the nuremberg chronicle, from the end of the 20th century came to us back in soviet times.

as scientists say, one of the library employees bought it from a russian private collector; at that time the publication cost the same as a lada. it’s not for nothing that this book is called the google of the 15th century. and, someone remembers, maybe from the older generation, there used to be soviet books of book knowledge. books that contained everything, physics, chemistry, mechanics, optics, in ancient times, such books were also published; this chronicle sets out the entire history of the world, from its creation to 1493. another pride of the scientific library is the collection of books by the princes rodivilov. this is the collection of the radevil princes, the princely ordination, which came into our library on january 9, 1941. here in the amount of 10,242 units. at the beginning of the great patriotic war, the ardevelovskaya library was transferred from

nesevsky for... as for us, it lay as a single complex, well, you know that on june 22 the great patriotic war began, in this short time, naturally, it was not possible to describe the entire library, process it, and introduce the collection of the library of the academy of sciences. this collection has come a long way to eventually end up on its native land ; now, thanks to the work of scientists, it is possible not only to keep the real history in hand, but in special editions of preparations... researchers can read about the history of each of them. there are worse crimes than burning books, such as not reading them. authorship of this phrases are attributed to the science fiction writer ray bradbury, however, due to the fact that his most popular dystopia, which describes the american society of the future, was banned, many

critics claim that the writer did not say this, but we will not say whether bradbury said this or not, let’s just add on our own behalf that these words will never lose their relevance, as well as the statement that in all topics, issues, areas of our lives, science is always nearby.

they were born and raised in different parts of russia, but by the will of fate they ended up in belarus and found their way here. today we will introduce you to two amazing girls who live and work in gomel. each heroine has her own unique story and her own view of belarus. olesya shurpach and evgenia nikonorova were sent to belarus.

higher education were able to realize their dreams, plans, today they work together at the second clinical hospital in the city of gomel , helping, treating and caring for belarusians. i came to belarus in 2003 with my family from the city of irkutsk. irkutsk is a large regional center of the russian

federation, the city is located 70 km from the most famous and deepest lake baikal, we came here in 2003, that is , having lived here for more than 18 years, it should be noted that since then i have never been to my homeland, but this is how things turned out the circumstances of our family at that time, that our choice fell on this country, our relatives lived here, we considered different options, visited different cities, and we really liked gomel, my mother’s sister lives here with her... family , in fact, they are us recommended here turn out to be. we traveled to belarus by train for almost 5 days across all of russia and our train was irkutsk-minsk, that is, we ended up in minsk, there was a long stop for many hours, my older cousin met us, and she and i immediately went for a walk in the center minsk. it was a sunny june day, the noise...
