my guest is a passionate and captivating person, he charges everyone around with his positivity, energy and love for his work. today my guest is the general director of belavia airlines, igor cherginets. igor , hello, igor nikolaevich, you grew up in an unusual family, your father is a famous writer, nikolai cherginets, your father’s publicity, was it somehow felt in your childhood? well, of course, of course, but you just remembered, his post there is a writer, in childhood, in childhood i was probably more influenced by the fact that he was a football player, i in fact, well, i thought that i was born there and lived there all my childhood with a football sword, my father was just starting to write books there, so... his writing,

so to speak, did not influence me at all then. how strict was your upbringing? oh, you know, i can’t say that it was a strict upbringing, because well, my father, practically because of his work in the police, i practically didn’t see him, he wasn’t even there, and yet moreover, this is a criminal investigation, and well, around the clock i went to bed: he was not yet asleep, i got up, he was no longer at home, so there were quite rare meetings, communications, he did not appear at school, his mother appeared there, received everything, everything, but for what? yes, of course, just uh, first of all, it’s not for behavior, no, i was a more or less decent boy, i was, ah, but for my studies, yes, of course, i probably studied football, i studied something ,

although i finished school quite well, what instruction from your father became somehow key, and which you adhere to until so far? you know, there probably weren’t any in our lives, and just like me, there probably aren’t any souls in my family today. conversations, this is probably just an example , an example, of a father, mother, grandmother, grandfather, upbringing was based on this, but something like this, live correctly, live honestly, no, this has never happened, but it was probably like this some kind of latent education, probably based on the examples of the parents themselves, of both me and my sister, i understand that

there were probably a lot of books in your house, but still compromising question, how many books have you read? i can say, to repent, now i almost don’t read books, well, somehow life is like this, i don’t know, it’s a shame, but i admit it, but nevertheless, i almost don’t read, if i say - there was a youth school there, we had a very a lot of books, very good books, i actually read a lot. i read a lot, probably just, if we talk about the eighth, ninth , tenth grade, a lot of books about the war, i read a lot of books, ours, and not ours, different books, but of course all these books, who were all reading there about the musketeer, this is also there, well, of course, this too, i read a lot, i read a lot, but lately, of course, well, one way or another,

parents’ occupations influence the choice of profession and children, like did you have? and it had a very strong influence, i really wanted to, because, well, everyone probably knows that my dad is a policeman, criminal investigation officer, graduated with the rank of lieutenant general, my mother is a policeman, i imagined myself as a criminal investigation officer... rovska, of course, i wanted to enter the higher police school, so to varvashenie, then ulitsasha, unfortunately, it didn’t work out, well, this is a compromise option, here’s a lawyer, legal education, yes, now you have a second higher education in aviation, if it’s not a secret, but i graduated, there’s one , well, probably most people have not heard of

such an institution, aka the higher commercial school of aviation business at aeroflot in moscow, so i studied there a little, not a little, i. this is the aviation education you received while already working at the airline, i just started working there, this is the education i received that is, it’s even to some extent like a direction, yes yes then then it was all in the direction of us there was a group of belarusians , probably about five people, you have been working for the airline for almost 30 years, when you first came, you could have assumed that you would stay for such a long time, but no, then naturally, i just didn’t think about it, i only have one remark

, i’m constantly hurting, from the day of its founding, the airline was founded on papers, officially we celebrate march 5, 1990, but even the name belavia exists at first the nineties, that is, uh, there is such a little nonsense here, but in fact , aviation, airlines and pilots and stewarts and airplanes have existed since the late thirties, well, they chose the date when aviation separated, it was common, there was a belarusian department of civil aviation, airflot after the collapse of the soviet union, it became the belarusian association of civil aviation and then the belarusian association of civil aviation belavia appeared, so they decided to consider that this airline was born on march 5, 96, although i have been working since september 11

ninety-five. club of editors, an ordinary european man in the street, he sits under the threat of war, he is frightened by the terrible putin, the terrible lukashenko , the migration crisis, while he has terrible economic problems, he does not understand where to go, people, instead of fighting for their rights, they americans are losing these ideological guidelines, they have the task of pitting the europeans against each other, they are doing this... with the help of the british, the sacred economic vessel of the european union is slowly turning into a chamber pot with stars along the rim, europe will not gain anything from this war except for the destruction of the economy, this is already happening , the loss of sovereignty is already underway, and the third socio-political problems that will arise

is what europe will get from the ukrainian crisis. we should not look at anyone when we build order in our home. do not miss. we are going on a trip to belarus, the luboń district is a place to live, green, cozy, quiet: the bava romny highway gave impetus to the development of many settlements, including red, it’s true, to get to krynychki, you definitely need to do this on foot, well, it’s a greedy way to do it, together with us, you will get a charge of positive emotions. this is such a cool feeling, i even think i saw a rainbow and i felt like a bird, look at me, look, pay attention, here is such a goat, and between us they pay her, well , there’s always a pack of dry goods, visit the bright sights of our country,

tourists from all over the country come here to try the unique belarusian bread; 33 separate believers from the earthly to the sublime steps, they symbolize the life span of jesus christ, they say you can overcome this distance in one breath, look in the program: the route is built on the belarus 24 tv channel. we live our lives, according to our own laws, with our own traditions, but why should anyone interfere in the internal affairs of our country, they believed that they could enslave russia and seize its resources. a huge market, huge natural resources, and they will live for another 300-400 years, in order to drive a european into a multinational russian, you need deprive him of the memory of what all

the previous postures in paris led to, but these are why these monuments need to be removed, because these are the conditions of a future war, today a huge number of people come to us from different countries, how much they fall in love with our belarus, leave with the kindest thoughts about our country, therefore, whoever wants to live and work, please, markov’s project is nothing personal, watch it on the tv channel. belarus 24, most people associate airplanes with romance, some kind of adventure, travel, and what do you like most? what do you like about your job? well, definitely not adventures, because as a general director, he will talk about adventures

on board an airplane, no, of course, i like civil aviation, passenger civil aviation, it’s its purity, it’s a very beautiful business, in fact very beautiful, very smart , very intelligent, i definitely like this, but is there anything that you don’t particularly like? to do, but you have to do it according to the type of activity, quarrel, with whom, but it happens in different ways, it happens with subordinates, not very often, it happens with competitors, but this is also such and such a rarity, it happens in some offices to prove that you are right, your personal one or the airline, this is also not the case, well , there are situations when there is no other way to defend your point of view certainly, certainly, certainly, sometimes.

even so, i know the opinion about myself, sometimes yes, sometimes they think that i am a rather tough person, i know that you have a lot of hobbies, i would even say that probably even too many for one person, that’s such a passion , what is it connected with, well, i, i wouldn’t say that i have a lot of hobbies, firstly... i don’t even consider them, and hobbies take place in my free time from work, and, unfortunately, he probably not very much , you probably take a very subtle approach to choosing these hobbies, because well, you simply don’t have time, one of your hobbies is collecting airplane models, how many does your collection already have? it’s just that you don’t need a lot of time for this, in general, it’s in

the collection now, well, lately contacts with our foreign colleagues have become more complicated, have decreased, so the collection is not growing much, well, it’s probably somewhere , i won’t say exactly right now, but there are approximately 330-340 aircraft, aircraft models, and where do you place them? previously, it was all in my small office and there was already a crazy dust collector there. several years ago we moved this entire collection to the hall on the second floor of the airline's main office, we made racks there, everything was beautifully placed there for everyone to see, and they take pictures there, and when the little kids come there, there is something interesting to see with

how did this passion of yours begin, the passion began, as always, with a person, uh, in warsaw he worked as an engineer, a russian by nationality, with an estonian passport, he was from narva, we just met him in warsaw, he had a small office, where he was making some kind of work there, repairing something and so on , he had several planes there, there were models of planes and i went to see him and we drank tea and coffee and talked, it turns out he says i have this, this is what i collect hobby these are my favorite models i'm moving from places of work from one country to another, i take them with me, and in fact i have 500 models, that’s 300-something there, i looked at it, he says, i have them all in boxes, in the garage, in

narva, my wife won’t let me get it, because it’s impossible to take care of the dust there, i collect everything, there are double ones and here are the first models, so he gave me a couple of models, in addition to collecting, you are also a biker, this is your most extreme hobby, no , this is not an extreme increase, by no means, this is how it is with switching on board the air. this is exactly the same kind of extreme driving on a motorcycle, no, i get from a motorcycle, i try to get pleasure, how to relax, get away from the problems of everyday life, so if they see me on a motorcycle, well, i’ll say that, if outside the city, well, i i drive 80-90, 100 km/h, practically without breaking, i try not to break, everything is smooth, i’m just trying to enjoy wrapping myself

in some kind of pleasure, i noticed that you are a big fan of your business. you even have a nickname in instagram aviation tupolev 134 i must admit that you are one of the few heads of a state-owned company who actively runs social networks, what is this connected with? nick, well, first of all, i want to say, there is a tupolev 134 and a tu-134 plane, probably in mine , probably the best one for me, it remained, remembered in my entire history, although i was connected, uh, tu-134, tu-154, yak-40, an-24, well, then western planes came, but probably the greatest warmth is caused by 134, why social networks, well, in many ways, are connected precisely with my work, because mm, i was a commercial director, i grew up

as a businessman, within a company, and... commercial activity, especially in an airline, it is tied to modern methods of communication and promotion, and work, and so on, and social networks, and airline promotion, sales , that’s why i’m there, from the same social network i learned that you have a new hobby of golf, how’s it going? success, well, this is the last success. not so long ago, probably, the first time i appeared there was 2 years ago, so i looked at what it was, very skeptical, here, and somewhere to study more or less seriously, well, there’s time off from work, but it’s probably a year, i can’t help but ask about another hobby of yours, which is

somehow related to your work, well, this is travel, how long countries have you visited? no, this is not a hobby or passion at all, well, probably more than 50 countries, i’ll probably call it that right off the bat, but most of it is not related to involvement or related to rest, vacation, it’s just work, of the countries you've been to, which one impressed you the most, oh, well of course, this is some kind of exotic, there was a conference, i wasn’t able to see much, there was our aviation conference in mexico , cancun, these are pirates of the caribbean, the sea, you see this green, blue sea, birch, of course, i saw australia, although the kangaroo

was just i didn’t see it, that’s from... and it’s worth visiting, i really want to return to india to see everything else, because well , i didn’t see it, the komasutra temple was nearby , somewhere in delhi everyone said, but it also had to be spent where - it takes 3-4 5 hours to travel back there, so i want back, contrasts very, very, very interesting country, very contrasting. what is belarus like in the eyes of those who once left it? belarusians have more

of this kind of active life position, i really love belarusian nature, i... can come to the forest, just stop, stand, look at the sky, admire this beauty. true patriots are ready to share their love for their homeland, far beyond its borders. it is impossible not to love everything that is connected with the homeland. so that we carry it, take it to our countries, and they would talk about it there too. and by their example of serving the homeland of their ancestors, they seemed to show that. this can be done, it must be done, historical memory is the strength of the people, peace can be preserved if you preserve the memory. your roots, about your ancestors , about those who lived on this land, beautiful, pure, pure, pure, belarus,

watch the project look at belarus on the tv channel belarus 24. the most tragic thing happened in the history of our civilization in general, the soviet... union collapsed connivance with evil leads to the fact that evil grows in full bloom from us

they were going to build anti-russia, according to the ukrainian scenario, arming belarus with nato weapons, instructors, bases, probably only for the unity of those three countries, we will have a very strong future, the west simply does not want to let us unite these three nations or one whole, we are all we are living in a state of war, informational, yes, it exists, it is a very strong, zombifying war. because any physical war must then be prepared ideologically. our opponents were too naive, believing that leaving coca-cola will collapse from television screens, state television broadcasting in an independent, sovereign country, with a strong-willed president, with a fairly developed economy, no matter what they say, say the project , don’t be silent, don’t miss new episodes on the belarus 24 tv channel

. igor nikolaevich, here we are today they talked about you, about your work, about your hobbies, what place your family occupies in your life, but if you set priorities, what place it ranks, i think that i... i can’t say that the state, for example, me on first place, of course , it might be correct to say so, or the airline is in first place for me, and both take up probably most of the time, but that’s all. come from the family, from the parents, from the wife, from the children, then, here, what is the homeland?

well, someone will say right away, this is the country, belarus, this is the homeland, but i think that it’s a little different, this is precisely the family that is the homeland, and from here comes the love for the country, for belarus, for the business you are doing. and that’s why it’s probably still family, family, wife, parents, loved ones, friends, how important is family support for you, of course, of course, i don’t even know, if my family didn’t understand me, well, probably my orientation would have been somehow disrupted, probably would have collapsed the world, no, the family completely... understands what i do, why i’m not at home, sometimes there at night, sometimes there on weekends, sometimes i go somewhere, there are business trips and so on, the wife does not

worry about your desire to drive on a bike, and my wife rides and in the summer they do highway circuit racing on a motorcycle in steaks, in the winter... on the minsk sea, ice racing, the rest of the time , she still got on a motorcycle, now we’re already going out together somewhere in yours, riding, then another question, are you not worried about the fastest of the dozen, no, she is careful, she drives very carefully, although she also fell, you have such an extreme family, yes, the youngest son, a candidate... sports champion of the republic in motocross, too, he works as an engineer in belov, the eldest son is also active in all types

of motorcycles. auto, i didn’t even suspect when i asked such a question, this is about my family, i got on a motorcycle after my children, those with my mother-in-law are also masters of sports on motorcycles, at the beginning of our conversation i asked you how strict an upbringing you received, and are you a strict father? probably, this is what came from my family, from my father, from my mother, well, we practically don’t have either... in the family these heart-wrenching conversations there , somehow what time, well now, in general, what time did you return home one is almost 30 years old, the second is more than 30 years old, so there’s nothing to talk about, you can’t drink beer, of course there are no these there are no conversations now, when they were in adolescence, in childhood, they didn’t exist, probably, too, it’s somehow through

my own. well, from my parents, from mine, you probably said that your youngest son, yes , works for a white airline, yes, my youngest is an engineer, works in belavia, he graduated from the belarusian state aviation academy, and the engineer, technician, is a master , that’s it, one of these leading engineers for emrairs is also older in aviation, but are you happy that they chose just such a path for themselves? yes, of course, well, i’m happy that they are doing what they love, yeah, that they love, there are examples when, uh, children are offended by their parents because they forced them to do something there, but they wanted to do something there all their lives they dreamed of something completely different, that is, i think

that they are doing... what they love, and this is very important, and the last question, our program is called the meaning of life, what is the meaning of life for you? i think that this is a family, this is a spouse, these are children, parents, this is the point, so that they feel good, so that they live in prosperity, to be healthy, this is probably, yes, well, probably, this is conscience , that is, well, i hope, of course, we all have some skeletons in the closet, we all did something in this life , for which we are probably ashamed, and we would like to either erase, forget or change something from our history, this is a person, this is not a robot, i certainly have this.

but i try to live in such a way that i can do it, run a business, and do it every day, so that my conscience sleeps peacefully, and in front of myself personally, in front of loved ones, first of all, it was the meaning of life of igor chergenets. outstanding meats of belarus with a valuable history. abaronial doilitstva we can learn from the right-handed architecture, and all for this period the round veils are characteristic. they sailed to the pharmaceutical eco-centers.

some myastechki, garads, which were previously significant in magdeburg, in attacks, potassium potassium prahodzila bacha, which is far away , ruined their significance, the geta was a sacramental revolution, the kagunka changed navakolle, cultural-artistic project of architecture of belarus, these kastsel do not end and ў savetskiy period, kalka vyalikaya kolkast church stratsila its percapachatkovaya meaning, in general, this year remembers the 50s of such an understanding of stalinist classicism. tell the belarusians that you won’t get a chance, because dastatkova will come to our capital, the prices are on the right side, if you please, as if with your soul, what a geta is. glyadzice, on our tv channel. what is belarus like in the eyes of those who once left it? belarusians have more active people like this.
