time is forward, today many still remember the screensaver of the main news program of the once huge country of the soviet union. syata, written in the mid-sixties by composer georgy sviridov under the same name, later became not only its symbol, but a kind of brand of soviet television. it was with her that the evening

program vremya, which they had been waiting for, began. from the messages they learned the latest news about the situation in the country and the world. it was back in 1971 that the program featured a very important message for the republic and the workers of the polotsk oil refinery. for the achievements in production activities, his team was awarded the order of the red banner of labor. the award of a high award drew a line under the most complex. and a responsible period not only for factory workers. belarus confidently declared itself as a large industrial region of the ussr, where

giant enterprises were successfully built and operating. at one time, of course, a wonderful decision was made for belarus: to build one oil refinery and build a second oil refinery. there has always been good science, good economics, from the point of view, probably, the promotion of new technologies, this was probably a very good decision, and an easy decision, the soviet union understood that belarus was a little ahead of science, including the soviet union. how belarus coped with the complex task of construction is fundamental. for the republic of production in the messages of the central belarusian television of that period. all the most significant events that took place in the bssr at that time, they

, of course, were in the center of attention of this young media. not a single major economic construction of factories, factories, or television crews bypassed side, they constantly covered the progress of this kind of construction. the attention to the oil refinery in novopolotsk is a special, unique enterprise; in terms of scale and output, there are no equals either in the soviet union or in europe. central television spoke about the successes of the polotsk oil refinery in the first program in 1962. i started working as a television announcer in 602 , ostankin didn’t exist yet, there was a joke, and somehow, by the way, the first issue of the program

was read by me and my colleague evgeny suslov. first program exits time, they were off-screen, we were sitting upstairs in the studio. with headphones and without looking, they read story after story, and the command , hurry up, stop, continue, tune in, they were just watching behind-the-scenes film clips, this was the very first release of the program at the time. and here is how the construction of a fundamentally new production facility, an oil refinery, began in the republic. in 1958 , belarusian television reported for the first time: television crews, they not only covered the construction of this plant, but also the development of this young city itself, from the moment

the creation of the plant, from the moment of construction to its commissioning, to the creation of the first, first products. in its news programs, it covered its main milestones, talked about the first successes and achievements, talked about the heroism of the people who... were the first to start construction the largest production in the ussr, virtually from scratch. there was small forest at the site where the plant was to be built. and in the fall of 1958 i remember. i was given the task to drive six dump trucks here in the former village of sloboda, for construction for

participation in the construction, here we are along the road from polotsk, there will probably only be 10 kilometers, we probably drove all night , there was a swamp, we were skidding, it was scary , we settled in thoroughly, we spent the night in the cars, in the morning we were already dragged to the village of sloboda, from scratch the sheet began from... belarusian television itself. on january 1, 1956, tamara bastun, a well-known radio announcer in the republic, first addressed its residents from the screens as an announcer on belarusian television. it began broadcasting as a belarusian program of the ussr central television. in television appeared in belarus, well, if you don’t count moscow, we were fourth.

in kiev, then a television studio appeared in latvia in estonia, in tallinn and then, that means in minsk, in 1956, the debut of on-air broadcasting took place, the minominsk television studio, well , this famous fact was when the announcer tamara bostun began broadcasting, the first broadcast, as you know, it consisted of a newsreel and... and a feature film, it lasted one and a half to two hours, no more, then it became an event akin to a technical revolution, television was included in every family, culture, sports, weather, but the main thing was politics, economics, the achievements of the ussr in various spheres of the national economy, and then it appeared on central television... another mandatory topic for coverage is regional news.

the programs were wonderful and positive. and the mood of the people was also somehow so optimistic, keep in mind that after such a war the country is being restored, factories, factories, everything was destroyed, everything had to be restored. what was important then for the republic was the message that on june 7, 1958, in the village sloboda, not far from the city of polotsk in the belarusian ussr, the first builders arrived. it was they who had to begin to implement ambitious plans to create the largest oil refinery in the ussr . about the republic of a new direction in the industry, oil refining. people and workers were brought in by boats, and

there were tents in one tent for the foreman , there were others, i don’t remember the names of all of them, but there were four or five tents. in the summer of 1958, for residents of the small village of sloboda, which was located not far from polotsk, life changed dramatically. people arrived here every day and from all over the soviet union. the head of the construction department of paratsiya contacted polotsk; additional building materials are needed. right next to the next one. there was a personnel department, which was responsible for the registration of new arrivals at the construction site. in the farthest corner

the komsomol committee was located, while it consisted of a komsomol organizer and his two assistants, but this did not stop the work. particular attention to visual propaganda, ready-made posters calling on komsomol members to join the all-union construction project and a newspaper. the first issue of the future large-circulation newspaper with the catchy name “banner of the new building.” this is later, years later, on this. the first tent. at the same time, the first issue of the newspaper reported that on august 6, 1958, on the predvinsky wasteland , builders solemnly hammered in the first peg. it was at this place

construction of the first oil refinery in the republic will begin. the end of the fifties, the beginning of the sixties, the soviet union was one big construction project, and it would seem difficult to surprise with its scale. i was surprised, of course, by the fact that was happening at the factory, a huge construction project was going on, people were in a fighting mood, i came to one, i was surprised that thousands of people worked there, after just six months. everything was planned, everyone was determined to do this, the lights of people, tractors, equipment, crowns were sparkling all around, the first victories were achieved by heroic labor , iron trains with materials for construction, with equipment began to arrive, and my

task, as a senior engineer, was to organize unloading, this was the most difficult thing , my period of life, and weekends and passages and holidays, all the time i was at the base, all the work was done by these slingers and loaders, large equipment began to arrive, there was a twelve-ton crane, a twenty-ton crane, the largest forty-ton, the equipment had to be delivered to the installation sites. here again my equipment, tractors, sleds, bulldozers, and so on, all this was dragged, dragged in every kind of garden, to the installation sites, only at the first stage the design capacity of the future plant was supposed to be 6 million tons of oil per year, this is

a gigantic enterprise of the union meaning, the economy of which had to be dealt with, i was involved in assembling the equipment, this equipment was the latest, i was at the ufa sovod when i was studying, there were american stills, well, the simplest ones, these were not called distillation apparatuses, but here they already had perfect apparatuses, about how perfect they are there were devices, the figures say, due to the introduction of new installations, here at8, avt-6, the volume of processing increased, in soviet times processing reached 25 million tons per year, can you imagine, 25 million, and now it processes 6-8 million.

large-scale construction, enthusiasm, youth, a time focused on the future, a time of plans, hopes of accomplishments, television changed along with the country. there wasn't much of a studio. in this same big studio b, a small place - here is the program time, there we announce children's programs, there are musical ones, well, that’s how it was. all programs created by the minsk studio and television were broadcast live.

there was no video recording then. all this was broadcast in the mode.... by the end of the fifties it was difficult to believe that back in the fifty-sixth everything began with a small rooms at communist 6, the first television studio of belarusian television. at communist six in minsk at the end of 1956 , the bustle and creative atmosphere that had become familiar here reigned. all programs were broadcast live; every detail had to be taken care of. moreover, something new has appeared. the announcer in the frame read not only

information from the sheet. the news began to use newsreel footage; it should be included in the text. and this is news from the fields, from new buildings, everything is very important and nothing can be confused. most lamented cameraman mikhail. the studio is small, it could barely fit three people, the camera is huge, and also the only one and requires careful handling, they rehearsed the appearance of announcers in the frame, there was a problem with the employees walking quietly around the room during the broadcast, they were given slippers with felt soles, but the announcer in this form it was necessary to enter and exit the frame right in front of the audience, it would not have worked any other way, only thanks to the skill of the first operator of belarusian television, the slippers did not fall

into the frame. you just wonder how everything in that small pavilion was so compactly and intelligently thought out, arranged, and everyone. the soldier is said to have known his maneuver. at the same time , live broadcasts of important events of the republic began for the first time. on december 27, 1962, the first train with bashkir oil was met in polotsk. there is a rally on the access roads, everything is so sincere and emotional. the life of republics has always been. reflected in the program time is always, always and we include belarus from belarus there they broadcast that agricultural story, let’s say either

some kind of plant ukraine and belarus are simply an honor and respect; these were our most important republics. on the site were started on may 7, 1959, and already on december 9, 1962, the first installation of the oil refinery came into operation. the plant received its first oil on december 27. 1963 was a landmark year. on february 9 , the bssr received its own gasoline for the first time in the history. its own was born in belarus. domestic petrochemistry. at the same time

, another important event occurred: in december 1963 , belarusian television announcers read out the text of the presidential decree live. supreme council of the bssr. it said. resolution of the presidim of the supreme council of the bssr. transform the workers' village of polotsk into a city, giving it the name novopolotsk. there was a village that became a city, it was very pleasant that i already live in the city , i still have pride in the enterprise, from the first day, before my eyes, the city was moving forward, and when i drive a car and see another house, another home, more and more. satisfying me now, when i’m driving to the end of the city, i never could have thought that the city would be like this, literally

a few months after the novopolotsk refinery began supplying gasoline to consumers of the soviet union, the council of ministers of the ussr adopted another important resolution for the republic: on the construction in the city of the largest petrochemical plant in the west of the country, which would later become famous for its products in the soviet union, like polymir. during oil refining , a lot of oil refining waste is generated, which is burned into waste. the polimir plant is precisely the production that consumes oil refining waste, it is low-actane transition gasolines and all kinds of blown gases. the significance of commissioning such an enterprise is difficult to overestimate. it is considered a birthday to receive polyethylene. polyethylene is a product that further moved the entire economy, well

, first of all, the cable industry. there are many factories, this is packaging, this is agriculture, a new direction in the industry of the bssr, new technologies that were never dreamed of before and did not suspect that such a thing was possible, the same as flight, it was into space, it was a revolution for of our republic, the production of products, previously, which were only, well... one could think about them, the line of products was constantly expanding, its use in the national economy is extremely wide, even seemingly not at all typical for such a trend as fashion, for example, we they produced modocrylic fiber, its first purpose was fur coats, this is what there was a shortage of clothes, well, in the seventies, eighties, we put

on this... made it possible to dress the entire soviet union. polymir became one of the largest complexes not only of the soviet union, but also of europe. over 6 million tons of polyethylene, more than 2 million tons of fiber for various purposes have already been produced, with export sales of more than 35 million. today at oootan. a unique enterprise of its kind, a lot has changed here over the years of independence. this enterprise, it consists of two separate enterprises, is jsc naftan, respectively , an oil refinery and a polymir plant, two enterprises employ about 12,000 people, a very wide range of products including gasoline, diesel fuel, fuel oil, oils, elemental sulfur

, polyethylene, and many other products, a fundamentally new product, coke, which is obtained from the processing of fuel oil, one of the types of fuel, environmentally friendly, economical, which is so in demand in modern conditions. coke is a new fundamental product that is already sold and used as fuel in power generating units in russia, china and other countries. today, naftano products, as in the soviet period, are widely known in the world for their quality, advanced technologies, in the sixties, novopolotsk turned into a major industrial center of the ussr, a large industrial city, a hub in the north of the republic.

the country recognized new heroes, journalists always sought to talk about working people, about their contemporaries, who lived not just so to speak, with some personal experiences, personal achievements, personal successes, but above all thought about how their work helps the development of the country . the republic rushed forward, along with time and time forward, there were attempts and purely graphic screensaver, musical, we tried, but this is sviridov’s time ahead, one might say, forever.

a belarusian pensioner is a person, an active person, a person with an active civic position, a person with an active position in the family, today a person who has reached retirement age can freely realize himself in all sorts of directions, and as we see, he is most in demand, this is where he is most manifested this activity of our belarusian pensioner, and of course it is public life, and of course this is a family, well, of course, many, after they have already completed

their working career, realized themselves as much as possible in the family and want to receive some new emotions and sensations at a new stage of life, also: realize themselves in various a hobby, of course, is physical activity, and so on. we have been implementing a national strategy for active longevity for the twentieth year, and this is a document that has concentrated all the directions of state policy that are being implemented today in relation to our citizens older age. of course, these are issues of social inclusion, first of all, what is this, the prevention of loneliness, the prevention of social isolation, which is certainly... very important for people who make, well, a transition, let’s say, from one stage of their life to another , yes, further, this is a question and, of course, extension of work activity, if a person wants to continue his work activity, having already

reached retirement age, all possible conditions are also created for this, the next point is, of course, education throughout life, and this area is also envisaged as one of the key ones within the framework of the implementation of the national strategy , of course, these are issues of physical activity, health issues, issues of participation in all kinds of cultural events, and, of course, for people who today need additional measures support from the state, these are people with reduced physical activity due to health conditions, yes, then these are measures of social support, social services, our social institutions services, support measures are aimed at all sorts of... aspects of the lives of our elderly citizens, yes, this is directly, as we have already noted, issues of care in case a person needs additional outside help, yes, that is, these are social services, social

services of territorial centers , our social workers and nurses, if a person needs round-the-clock constant care, these are our boarding homes, in addition, today the state also supports family members who provide... today caring for their relatives, disabled people of the first group, or persons who are over 80 years old, but who need constant care, and by paying benefits to such citizens, if we talk about citizens who today require the widest possible range of different activities, yes, this physical culture, sports, yes, then today on the basis of our territorial centers they can realize themselves absolutely as part of volunteer activities. senior citizens and directly participate in classes that either our specialists conduct it, or do it themselves, our elderly citizens, as volunteers, conduct various classes aimed at physical activity, these are yoga classes, this is

nordic walking, but the belarusian employer probably also provides certain support measures, what are they? yes, of course, for people who want to work, yes , there are also additional protection measures for people who have reached pre-retirement age, yes, today our legislation stipulates that if a person who has reached pre-retirement age , the contract or employment contract ends, then the employer is obliged to extend this employment relationship with him until the person reaches retirement age. the happy earth of our clasped hands, our gallant wealth, if we are glad to see hell, so we want

to fall, grow and develop, carefully cherish our traditions, in the name... plow and be happy yny, dze znachny ўklad kozhnaga ў agulnuyu right. and life with navakolі in hellishness and kahanna, all the time. here are meetings of a whole hell of soulful moments. i relatives, suddenly after hell became. belarus 24 is what we are absolutely disgusted with.
