today the academy of sciences includes 108 organizations, implementing the principle from idea

to the final product, the academy of sciences is developing as a research and production corporation. today we can safely say that the national academy of sciences is a brand of the republic of belarus; belarus can be proud of its academy of sciences. but it should be noted that the academy of sciences, as in principle the entire scientific sphere of our country, is developing largely thanks to the support and special attention of the president of the republic of belarus , alexander grigorvich lukashenko. exactly thanks to his strong position and focus on developing his own science, in principle, having everything of his own, it was thanks to this that the national academy of sciences of belarus was preserved and actively developing. today we have many competencies that we never had before. not only have all the leading schools from the time of the soviet union been preserved in the academy of sciences, but today it is active.

areas such as space research, biotechnology, microelectronics and artificial intelligence are developing, research in the field of electric transport is developing, we have our own antarctic expedition, that is , indeed, science in our country is developing very actively, on an equal basis with purely scientific organizations; the academy of sciences also works in production, well, let’s say, five in agriculture. organizations , production organizations that produce high-tech innovative products, about half of even scientific organizations in the academy of sciences have their own production, small average size, where they produce those innovative the goods that our scientists invented and created, of course, there is no need to say that the national academy of sciences is completely self-sustaining... first of all, because

the main task of science is not commerce, it is not making money, it is the creation of new knowledge, so our developments, they are actively used not only by our organizations, they are actively used in all sectors of our country, we work with the largest enterprises, with maz, with belaz, with mtz and other organizations where our developments are being implemented, science in belarus in accordance with the instructions of the head of state, it is practice-oriented, every year about 300 developments of our scientists are implemented in economic sectors, that is, the process of introducing innovations is carried out on a constant systematic basis, as i said, some of them are implemented in production at the academy of sciences itself, some of them are implemented in production in in the real sector of the economy, all research without exception is aimed specifically at the development

of the domestic economy, especially, this became especially relevant during the period of the introduced sanctions, very quickly, within literally six months, the academy prepared a plan and catalog of import-substituting import-substituting products , which our scientists proposed to enterprises in the real sector, they are already actively implementing, high-tech projects form the image of the country, so if you look at our achievements, what projects can they talk about, oh yes, this is belarus, it really has something to be proud of, first of all we can talk about development in... the space sector, our earth remote sensing satellite and the new ultra-high- resolution earth remote sensing satellite being developed is an element of our strategic security.

in addition, belarus has mastered the production of supercomputers, as i already said, they have mastered the production of antitumor drugs against cancer, that is, these are very high technologies, they are being developed, there are developments in the field of bio... the technologies are very interesting, breakthrough, now a center has been created at the academy of sciences , experimental applied virology, in particular, they are developing their own vaccine against influenza, new strains of influenza and against liver cancer, that is, developments are being carried out in all the same global directions in which scientists from the leading countries of the world are developing, we are practically... not lagging behind in anything, what discoveries can we expect in the very near future, at the moment, based on artificial intelligence technology , a hardware and software complex for recognizing human diseases has already been developed and continues to be improved, at the moment these are lung diseases based on

machine analysis of fluorographic images human lungs, a software and hardware complex has been developed for modeling medicines, that is, it is no longer necessary to do something in a laboratory in a test tube, this is artificial intelligence itself that can analyze and create prototypes of medicines of the future, that is, these are technologies of the future, development continues domestic batteries for electric vehicles. hello, is this housing and communal services? hello, guys came to me to clean the ventilation, they let me sign an agreement, but i’m confused by the price, it’s 200 rubles, inexpensive whether it was this, but they said that i was from the housing and communal services and

i signed the contract. alexander petrovich tried for a very long time to find out from the utility services who exactly came to him the day before to clean. but in response, at the other end of the line everyone shrugged their shoulders, and according to the contract the pensioner had to pay in installments for a service that he did not even order, the amount is not very large, but for a pensioner who has every penny to spare, this is a problem. when the elderly man later learns from investigators that he has become a victim of fraudsters, his already poor health i became even more unsettled and even had to go to the hospital.

listen, aren’t you tired of lashing out at your uncle , but what other options could there be that you can continue? i think it’s time for us to open our own business, we’ll move to another city, open the same company. we make money, hmm, listen, well, it’s an interesting idea, in principle, we even know business from the inside, why not? well, yes, yes, i’m saying that money will flow like a river in a week, this needs to be thought about more seriously, two employees of the capital’s cleaning company have this plan ventilation matured after two years of work, the guys knew the essence of the business well and decided to go free swimming, they did not want to stay in the capital because, firstly, a similar company of their boss was already operating here, and they did not need competitors, and secondly, in minsk there has already been a rumor that under the guise of utility services there are swindlers who offer to clean the ventilation and take a large fee for it, but in the regions

there was still an unplowed field for budding businessmen, they chose gomel for a reason, but because it is the second largest city ​​in the republic of belarus and decided to organize their own business. tatyana kharitonova investigated the criminal case from the very beginning, ensured the planning of the investigation and carried out the most important investigative actions. interviewed more than a hundred victims, was involved in the development of resolutions on bringing them as defendants, and prepared all the most important documents related to the criminal case. the organization was registered as a limited liability company with the city executive committee. air ventilation. first of all, the partners established registered the company. next, they needed to recruit staff, because it was impossible for the two of them to settle into such a big city as gomel. they didn’t hold a casting for employees; they took everyone, from students

to people with a criminal past. the main thing is that the person agrees to carry out all the assigned tasks, sometimes even using not entirely honest means to obtain an affirmative answer from clients. not all applicants agreed, but those who remained quickly learned the lesson from their superiors. of course, they allegedly had ids, they didn’t check documents, because they already seem to be known, well, a person came , in the form of employees he says, but we from zheu, as if not to trust, we carry out planned work, we give a guarantee for the work for 10 years, for 10 years you won’t have to clean the ventilation it will be necessary, that is, this is also a deception, because the ventilation is cleaned every year in fact, the founders called their company oblventiliya, the bet was made... on maximum similarity in the name with state utilities . from the very beginning, the partners made

a bet on introducing in this way people are misled. they also took into account other points that the guys already knew well over the years of working in such a business. in principle, everything, well, it’s all together, as i said, the ventilation system, yes , misleading, but the obligation to clean the ventilation, which, they also hid the information that, in principle, this, firstly, ventilation system is completely another structure, yes, it is generally cleaned from the roof, to each apartment individually, the housing and communal services department inspects it once a year. dmitry kazak, from the beginning of excitement criminal case and before transfer to the prosecutor for referral to court, accompanied the entire investigation process, exercised procedural control over decision-making in the criminal case, monitored the legality of decision-making and the implementation of the entire scope of necessary investigations.

in case of need for a person, if he believes that an inspection, yes, when they check somewhere someone is clogged, clogged, then it turns out, in fact, this service is free, well, how to say, free, it is included in the fat, the so-called, which one is for utility, every citizen pays utility bills, it is included in the maintenance of the house, another step to successfully imitate part-time utility workers was the purchase... of forms, again, the task was to get closer to the appearance of ordinary plumbers and electricians, so as a basis they took an ordinary blue work suit, and to make it even more convincing, they made an inscription on the back with the name of the company, air ventilation. when the partners had everything ready, they decided to set a fee for their services, for one it was decided to charge 200 rubles for the cleaned ventilation.

for the cool ones, they established a discount of 25 rubles, the so-called marketing guru, but realizing that this amount was not small, the guys decided to work in installments, and in many cases this is what helped them get consent from clients, employees clearly monitored whether their services were paid for or no, that is, they introduced accounting, everything was in order, if people did not pay, they called the victims and... demanded payment so that it would be carried out, well, people paid, they were newly minted for their work businessmen chose residential areas of gomel. they were most interested in the old khrushchev buildings, because it was in such houses that single pensioners most often lived. it is this category of citizens that the cynical swindlers have placed their bets on. their bias was aimed mainly at the elderly. persons, well, let’s not say the elderly, more, as they say, already balzac’s age, which is why the houses

chosen were five-story buildings, old panel buildings, where mostly elderly people live, why it is easier to talk to them, to convince them of something, during the conversation, indeed, we found out that we can say that one of the leaders of this organization, he conducted trainings there, what, he taught how to communicate with people. at first, the founders of air ventilation themselves went from house to house looking for clients. at first, not everything worked out; often the doors were not opened, and those who still agreed to listen to uninvited guests treated them with distrust and slammed the door. this forced the accomplices to resort to extreme measures. if people refused to let them in home, scammers began to intimidate pensioners with responsibility because they do not want to clean the ventilation. they began to scare us with fines, administrative

liability, sanctions from employees of the ministry of emergency situations or gas services, because they allegedly turned them off. therefore, it is natural to talk with my grandmother, who has been there for 70 years, yes, it is said that, of course, she walked, understood, firstly, it looked like people, they were positioning themselves as a state organization, the residents agreed to be cleaned up, drew up an agreement , cost services they initially. asked the victims to sign this agreement, an application , supposedly voluntarily, our victims say that the victims voluntarily agreed to provide these services, after such tricks, success finally came to the swindlers, now they were not only allowed into the door and listened to, but and often agreed to these services. in this

case, the first thing the ventilation staff did was to let the client sign. an agreement so that later, even if a person realizes that he has fallen into the trap of scammers, he will still have to pay the cost services provided. yes, there were many people who already realized , after a certain moment, at the stage of their payments, and explained that they probably suspected that they might have been deceived, but the representatives of this company, and there the so-called managers there , explained when working with clients, they naturally explained to the person that the contract had been concluded. it can be torn up in court, they threatened with fines, because this was stated in the contract. naturally, our citizens were not willing to do this; they were inclined, of course, to pay the entire amount of money. the entire process of cleaning the ventilation took no more than 15-20 minutes. despite the fact that the workers convinced people that the procedure was very important, it was not anything complicated.

they used an ordinary industrial vacuum cleaner for tabernacles of persuasiveness, it was equipped with additional pipes and other components, but in fact, the crooks didn’t even clean the ventilation, they made do with only the first meter of the opening. the whole point of the work of air ventilation employees was not to clean the openings from dust, but to competently put it in the client's eyes. seasoning all this with stories about mouse nests in the ventilation, people at first really believed the visitors. but as the investigation showed, all the experts’ beliefs were just fantasies. they also showed photographs of supposedly work carried out on other residents, photographs supposedly in the ventilation, they were clogged, cockroach nests were found, birds, dead people,

mice ran in there, they also showed and demonstrated all this, people naturally agreed in a panic to carry out these works, having completed the work in less than in half an hour, the workers left supposedly clean ventilation and a contract for payment for people, and quickly left, so that the person would not come to his senses and suddenly call the police, although even if this happened, the cleaners would have nothing special to show, because they had completed their work as specified in the contract, why people paid at that age, because people of the old school... of the old upbringing, that is, the contract was fulfilled, they turned, for example, to the police, they were told that you have a civil law relationship, there is an agreement, you signed it, the work were completed, therefore, you have to pay, and so that there are no problems in the future, they don’t call, don’t demand, people pay, over time

, the founders entered a comfort zone and even stopped going from house to house, all the dirty work was done for them by the workers they hired, and it happened that people didn’t even fully understand that they were counterfeit scammers, this is how the actions of those involved in the future qualify investigators, but that will happen later, at first people didn’t even want to file a complaint with the police, but what’s noticeable here is that people don’t went to the police station law enforcement agencies that they were deceived because they knew that there were agreements, but they were held by the fact that there was a concluded agreement. and they have peculiar obligations, they understood that in the event that they voluntarily signed the agreement, but under the influence of deception, this must be proven that in court, anyway, most likely the court decision will be ... in favor, which is not if you don’t pay the money, you will receive penalties and interest. in almost all cases , clients were convinced that if they didn’t pay, there would be problems; naive pensioners pinched off

the last crumbs from my pension. how long the swindlers will continue to walk around the apartments of gullible people, one can only guess, because when they began to be checked, they were just getting the hang of it, and the ice was broken thanks to... the public utilities, which sounded the alarm. the first push was that government bodies , that is, people began making phone calls to the same hotlines, to the city administration, the city administration connected to public utilities, they began to find out what kind of company consonant with air ventilation, because the citizens explained that the oppositionist, that people were walking, representatives of your organizations , that is, state ones, and when they figured it out... they established that there was, yes, some kind of company, in the month of june in the twenty-first year, concluded it provides such services, and in order to remove

, as they say, such a stigma from state-owned enterprises, correctly, they turned to the administration, the administration, well , on what basis did the administration turn to the prosecutor’s office, believed that this was a civil law relationship, they began contact the media and since there were a lot of requests from the media, articles were written and published, the prosecutor's office opened a criminal case. by the time the criminal case was initiated, dozens of people in gomel had already suffered from air ventilation activities. in all cases, the scammers worked like a carbon copy, convinced people of the need to clean the openings, entered into an agreement, as a rule, payment was in installments, did their fictitious work and left. when a person realized that he had become a victim of scammers, it was too late.

cleans from the roof, these works are carried out, cleaning the ventilation is cleaned according to a schedule that is approved annually, but they already come from the apartments , clean them, if some kind of blockage occurs somewhere, during these scheduled works, including residents can contact the to ask that i’m not satisfied with the work of the ventilation and that the workers. they came and cleaned it, they didn’t, well , they didn’t refuse, monthly, the cost of house maintenance is included in the allowance, that is, people already pay for these services monthly obviously investigators had to not only identify all members of the group, but also prove that their actions showed signs of fraud, and as practice shows, this is one of the most difficult articles of the criminal code to prove, because the investigative committee employees need to prove that the person involved initially had

intent not to fulfill the obligations assigned to him under the contract, in our case all the work was completed, how and whether it cost 175 rubles is another question, so the investigators could only base the accusation on the fact that oblventiliya employees misled their clients, they are in the form of workers under the form zoo they say oblventiliya, that is, the name of the organization , they also chose it for a reason, as one of the victims said, they didn’t come, they didn’t say that we are oo brush and voluntarily carry out, if you want, we will clean it for you, if you don’t want, we will not clean it for you, but they presented themselves as air-ventilated, thus misleading our victims, especially the elderly, who believed that this was a state organization, and refused from performing their services, they cannot. when

investigators took up this case, the air ventilation staff consisted of nine people, three of them were organizers, six were workers who went from house to house and threw dust in people's eyes. during their activities, they deceived almost 500 people, and... more than 300 of them managed to fully pay for ventilation cleaning services. the total damage in the case exceeded 50,000 rubles. the basis of the evidence base was precisely the documents of the sons-in-law, for the victims these were contracts, applications for work, acts of completion works, and the testimony of the victims themselves, and the testimony of witnesses from persons, gzherup, officials, including employees of zhou, officials, regulations. the criminal investigation lasted 12 months, investigators had to interview hundreds

of victims, and many of them refused to testify because of the current situation, they had lost faith in people. the materials of the criminal case took up 60 volumes. a background examination was ordered, because our accused argued that they were all thoroughly explained to the victims, reported that their services were voluntary, that they reported all this and said that there were supposedly audio recordings of their conversations, so it was necessary, the words on this audio recording were not always clearly understood, and so phonoscopic examinations were prescribed; during the examination, listening to the audio recording was it has been established that in fact these audio recordings are not in favor of our accused, not one of the accused during the investigation ever admitted his guilt, they until the last...

and what i noted that we did not have accompaniment of the operative by the law enforcement structure, as usual in cases, it happens that this is a latent crime, indeed, as the service turns out, it is wretchedness or reveals, it really went wrong that in fact people started, when there was a massive public outcry, someone began to figure out that somewhere to think that they were deceived after all, that such a price should not be for some kind of service , as they say, to chase spiders, because you understand, what is the point, that for certain services, what they did, they are in the apartment were from 5 up to 10 minutes, well, 5-20, as it was during the investigation, and what kind of work they did, in fact, among the tools they had, why the question of calculation, we asked, there was

a banal vacuum cleaner, a drill. well, and the hoses that they explained, which, by the way, we during the investigation, where they did not indicate the places , we never seized them, the hoses, yes, people said that there were some kind of elongated hoses that they put in the vendkan in the kitchen, there in the toilet, they turned on the vacuum cleaner, they were doing something, in fact, during the interrogation of the specialists, we established that except to chase away cobwebs and spiders, they couldn’t do anything else there, no punching or cleaning, she couldn’t even carry out this vacuum cleaner a priori, the result of the investigation... was not only the filing of charges against all nine defendants, all of them ended up in the dock , but also a representation addressed to utility services, because, as we have already said, before this story, many people did not even understand that cleaning the ventilation is included in the cost of the maintenance fee, which is why it was so easy for the scammers fool almost half a thousand people, that's why we prepared

extensively all the information, too, or as much as we could more compactly shifted, not so, let's say in a presentation, even that's not to say , there's something there, we're complaining about the utility services, but more about explanatory bias, so that they really carry out educational work, so that people know what a ventilation duct is in general, how the service is provided, today i will say that, well , i already believe that in the gomel region, this exactly, every citizen has probably been brought to the attention of how clean is carried out. the court found all the defendants guilty of attempted fraud committed on an especially large scale. three of the organizers of the air ventilation were sentenced to 6 years in prison, the rest of their accomplices were given sentences from 3 to 5 years. in addition, the defendants will have to pay damages to everyone they deceived. but is it just

a matter of money? they were so disappointed in government agencies that they not only refused to cooperate with the investigation, but even today they are not open the door to public utilities, who will return their faith in people, and what is the price of the cynical act of ventilation workers, these are rather rhetorical questions, in practice, thanks to law enforcement officers, today there is not a single organization in the country that would deceive people under the guise of public services. belarusians come to the capital of our homeland more than once with great pleasure.
