in the morning, he is the only representative in belarus of an ancient profession, in the archives they found what the uniform of a lamplighter was more than 100 years ago, here is a chyon, in the past an ordinary electrician, who at one point turned into a tourist symbol of the city, in order to see how he performs their work, people travel thousands of kilometers on purpose. once upon a time, people of that age had hearts of gold and wooden crosses. and now, unfortunately, everything has gone the other way around, wooden hearts and golden crosses, he is often compared to a character from fairy tales andersen, and the point here is not only in the authentic costume of the vintage staircase, victor kiressek, a lamplighter from the city of brest, a man who not only lights large lanterns on the streets of the city, but also small lanterns in the souls of people.

it’s the height of a hot summer day, the start of the evening shift is still far away, and viktor petrovich and his wife natalya are going to the dacha , this is a place for them: you can relax your soul, although it’s unlikely that your body will, judging by the perfectly planted vegetable and berry plantations, a lot of work has been put into this , we hardly see each other, when we arrive, he doesn’t talk, someone strokes the roses, talks to the roses, someone does their own thing, we cope because we have to love the earth, that’s when we communicate with the microorganism. with the ground, you don’t

feel tired, you seem to be tired on your way home, but such fatigue is pleasant, looking at the lean, fit and constantly smiling victor. and you can’t say that he is 66 years old, however, he himself says about his age like this: divide us by half, well, you have to ask natalya, but i figured it was half, 15, still a teenager, light and positive viktor petrovich has always had an attitude towards life, but the most amazing thing is that with age this trait in him not only did not disappear anywhere, in general a person lives as long as he wants, we don’t have any problems, we solve all problems, there is no need for any

get hung up on little things, we just often create problems for ourselves, and they go around whining about something, then there’s not enough money, then there’s not enough, there’s an old parable, a grandmother goes to a sage and says, “i don’t have gold, there is no car there, there is no house there, there is no cottage, but he listened and said, you don’t have a lot of things, you don’t have any sick people or colleagues in your life, you have hands, you have eyes, be glad that you woke up, because many people are not given this, perhaps exactly this attitude towards life, oneself and people played a decisive role 14 years ago: when victor kirisyuk, among a huge competition of applicants, was chosen to become the main and only lamplighter not only of the city of brest, but of the whole of belarus. then he worked in brest-gorsvet as an ordinary electrician ; at first he considered it an unexpected position

just like new responsibilities. whereas it was uncomfortable, a sudden change, such is the profession, which means walking quietly from the ground up. when there are a lot of people and you are alone, that’s why all the attention is on you, so it’s exciting, but over time the excitement passed, and viktor petrovich got used to the role so well that , unnoticed for himself, he became a symbol of brest, and the tradition of lighting lanterns in the evenings turned into a signature a card of the city, even without the costume of a vintage staircase, the famous lamplighter on the pedestrian street... behind sovetskaya everyone knows, artists, craftsmen, street actors. good evening, yulia, for example, she comes here very often, she is an actress in the theater of living sculptors, she saw him every evening, every morning, she knew that he was lighting the lanterns,

then we got to know each other better, somewhere after work i met him without his image lamplighter, he treated us to chocolates, sweets, once we met, i already know him as well, as a person, indistinguishable, here is a lamplighter. this is one person, it’s just viktor petrovich without an image in the image, it’s the same, just as kind, just as humorous, just as cheerful, just as responsive, just wonderful, the very idea to revive the former tradition of lighting lanterns came to the city leadership in 2009 on the eve of the next anniversary of brest. 17 lanterns with kerosene lamps, stylized for the 21st century, were ordered especially for the main pedestrian street sovetskaya. we delved into the archives and found information about what a lamplighter from peter the great's times looked like, ordered a uniform and cap based on old sketches, this is the lamplighter's costume, in the archives we found what the uniform was, more than 100 years old

back as a lamplighter, that’s what they tore off the buttons, but there were spare ones, but now they are beautifully screwed on the wires here, in fact, a lot of buttons were torn off over so many years of work, but viktor petrovich was never angry, he just laughed it off, well, they pull at the bullet, some even strongly , but i ask them, more tenderly, girls, more tenderly, before the appointed time , the lighting of the lanterns remains for a few minutes, warm summer twilight is slowly falling on the bridge, an old waltz sounds from somewhere in the distance and a lamplighter comes out of a small closet in a frock coat with shiny buttons.

the fairy tale comes to life before our eyes, people come, they say, you are like from anderson’s fairy tale, adults, yes, i’m even somehow surprised, oh , how i am, it’s like i ended up in a fairy tale, or i ended up there, a fairy tale, you give a fairy tale, and indeed, looking at how sincerely, like a child , adults react to the brez lamplighter, how they smile from ear to ear, rush to reach the button to make a wish, it becomes... belarus is a country with a rich history. vos

geta pabudova, yana presvechanaya karal mindaug, pershamu karanavanam karal, how our land has appeared today. geta calegium. the educational establishment of the 16th century, the same was the case throughout belarus. adukatsiya was free of charge. unique sights are literally at every step. church of the saints. peter and paul, even at the entrance to it you can literally touch antiquity, the doors of the main entrance have been in existence for more than 200 years, and the weights of rubiyazhe in the sunny days are home to the traditional production of medicines from cereals, such pharmacies, such as there, you do not know, navat in the post-savetsky space. and my soul is blue are people. hello, good afternoon.

month, as a monastery, i will take care of exactly what is best for me... the road is different, in my opinion, expensive and important for other people. my childhood was spent in sailing, which grew into adolescence, and now it turns out that i have been here in my favorite sport for half a century. ready to share your knowledge? my name is sergey morozov, i am the senior coach of the national sailing team. now athletes are following a similar course called forddevent. and show one day. important elements of work the museum is not only about storing

material culture artifacts, right? if the culture is intangible, then the side of the madelevanne of folk sounds, abradau. and just this day we can watch every day. watch on tv channel 24. they gathered in our studio. one of them has a question for an adult: we are children, we can be wiser in some ways than adults, i think , and i don’t even doubt at all, how to get on television in our time, it’s very simple , you are not bad, i like the girl, tell me how should i confess my love to her without words, the heroes of the program will have to open up to the audience, i met my husband at sports competitions, we have been living with him for 39 years, and what do you like about him? at school, including me, i fought; in kindergarten

, i think they even separated us into corners. the main task is to honestly answer all original, and sometimes awkward questions. politics is a dirty business. sometimes yes, unfortunately. your wife is the president's press secretary, and you are a representative of a television company, which of you is more important? at work or at home? has anyone tried to use it? with getting to know you, to solve the issue of connections, look at the project 100 questions for adults on the belarus tv channel 244 the legend that if you rub a lamplighter’s button and make a wish, it will certainly... a very old one will come true, but for adults, this fairy tale game turns into something

more . good evening, hello, someone really makes a wish half-jokingly, someone takes this ritual much more seriously, asking for important things and sincerely believing that the magic buttons of the bresse lamplighter will definitely help, well, people are already looking for salvation everywhere, here’s someone , parents are sick, someone has been away from children for a long time, they make a wish, they come in a year or two, in their arms with a child, they say we made a wish, one time recently he was coming, he was carrying strollers. comes, thank you, this is what we made, our wishes came true, well, thank god, a person should probably believe, if you believe and wish, it will always come true, i always tell small children, you need to make a wish, i want it, i can do it, all the problems, it

takes viktor petrovich about half an hour to light all 17 lanterns, but even closer to the end this action, the crowd of tourists does not disperse, and the number of people wanting to take pictures with the famous brest character does not decrease . in order to see how they wander, they light lanterns from wherever they come. we came on a promotional and informational tour, we are travel agents from the tyumen region, we came to get to know belarus, we arrived today from minsk to brest and the first thing we did was come here. sovot said that it’s always like a fairy tale, and we were also waiting for its release, so the atmosphere was conveyed by the fact that people follow it’s not like someone looked at one lantern and went away, this is exactly the unity of all people in one place, to watch such an unusual action, anastasia and her daughter liza came from the city of bolokovo, saratov region,

they learned about the lamplighter from an intellectual game kwili, we arrived in brest this morning, visited the brest fortress, stayed here overnight in a hostel in order to go visit in the evening, it’s very unusual, very impressive, and the child doesn’t really understand yet, but for me i didn’t see those times when the lanterns were lit manually and to see this, how it was, it’s very interesting, very informative and something new, well, like any fairy tale and ritual of lighting lanterns , the end comes to an end, in the soviet... there are fewer people, and viktor petrovich takes pictures with the last ones today tourists. during these half an hour, he not only did his job, he withstood the noise and din of the crowd, the touch of dozens of hands, the hug of strangers, but he talked to everyone, smiled at everyone, refused no one, not a hint of fatigue or irritation. i'm generally for peace in

all over the world, and for people to be kinder to each other, more often. no matter what was in the foreground, money, money, money, once upon a time in those days people of that age had hearts of gold and wooden crosses, but now , unfortunately, everything has gone the other way around, hearts of wood and gold crosses have been dropped onto the soviet twilight, the lights are on, the show is over. and for our hero the work continues, in just a few hours , when it begins to get light, he will come here again to put out the lights, they don’t think that they are also extinguishing them, they ask, will you give them some water? you pour it in the morning, in fact i get up,

i lift the floor, and that in just 24 hours he will have to go up and down the stairs at least 50 times. so, 14 years, without days off, holidays and vacations, in any weather, winter and summer. although this profession is from earlier times, even today it cannot be called simple. there are very few lamplighters left in european cities, and there they are worth their weight in gold. to the question: have you ever wanted to work somewhere in another country, viktor petrovich answers without even thinking. eh, not even i thought about it and wouldn’t go, well, i’m somehow a patriot , one might say, of my brest, here are my roots, here is my own nature, my everything, everything is familiar, everything is dear, it’s like i’m needed here,

i feel needed, in demand, and well yours. who, if not me, will turn on the light on the dark streets? - viktor petrovich jokes, without suspecting that he does not just refill kerosene lamps, he lights ancient lanterns, for those who have been coming to see this ritual for 14 years, he gives a different light, if the soul is dark, sometimes one small light is enough to give a person hope, to make him believe that everything will be fine, problems will go away... and tomorrow will be better than yesterday, because adults are mere children in this regard. the bresse lamplighter knows this for sure.
