therefore, we have two sports complexes built during this time, shopping centers in the city for a quiet family life. the population of ostrovets now is about 1,100 people, people who work at the station, but they very often intersect on the street. we are doomed to success, and the nuclear power plant will operate efficiently and economically, i have no doubt about this. we will receive a reliable, economical, environmentally friendly source of energy that will allow our republic to develop and have potential for future generations.

every day we feel millions of emotions, we we can be happy, happy, happy, happy, sometimes our emotions are not good for us. and music, music expresses our emotions, this emotic force is lethal for our souls, and for our souls, it becomes the inextricable puzzles of our life,

for the secret of music is for you, which i do not know scoop out the lid. i’ll express it there, dze razmova zmaukae, music replaces a thousand words. hello, you are watching the program say don’t be silent, in the studio of svetlana smolonskaya and tatyana

sherbina. and today our guest is the general secretary of the belarusian red cross, dmitry shevtsov. dmitry evgenievich, good afternoon. good afternoon, hello, dmitry evgenievich, welcome again. to see in our studio, thank you, mutually, uh, well, let's start with probably not very good, pleasant news , the board of the international federation, the red cross, red crescent society, in the form of an ultimatum, demanded that you resign from your post, in connection with your july trip to donbass, and you must resign before november 30, first, the international red cross recommended to retire, a month later already in october: he called, and now he directly insists and demands to resign, nevertheless, you continue to head the belarusian red cross, and this situation generally began to develop a very long time ago, back in the summer in august , very actively, after the opposition media, when

ukrainian pravda was the first to post on its internet a screenshot taken from a four-part film... where it was written that the secretary general confirms that he is involved in the removal and theft of children from donbass, yes, this absurdity was published, then it was picked up by other international media, different , absolutely, to be literal, they even distorted the phrase from this film, you said that we helped and will help, but they presented it that we exported and will export, i said then, i say now, this is all we need to know about the ukrainian truth, touching exactly the page on which it was posted, and so on, then it was picked up by the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, who demanded to arouse there

there was a criminal case against the general secretary, then, in my opinion, even the prosecutor general’s office of ukraine demanded something similar, and so on , that is, it’s such a cascade... the removal of the fake started, naturally the international federation of the red cross began an investigation into the fact of the trip , because i did not inform the federation about the purposes of my trip, that i was planning to go there, first of all it was related to safety, and the physical safety of both mine and those people with whom i was traveling, well, with taking into account the fact that i did not go there for the purpose of a humanitarian mission, and i did not carry a humanitarian cargo there, but i went to visit those children with whom we worked when they were on vacation in 1922, here in belarusian sanatoriums, so then i thought that there was no need to inform about

where the secretary general plans to go, yes, that is, i am a self-sufficient person, the organization is also self-sufficient, so you and i can independently make decisions about certain things... travel, that is, it was important to you to achieve to prove the truth about these accusations that talai is a barbarian, lukashenko is a despot, you know, yes, i believe that under no circumstances should we remain silent about even some crazy fakes that are posted somewhere on the internet internet, yes, we always, excuse me, must call on those people to answer, just sometimes click people on the nose, yes, and in no case should we turn a single cheek, i, in principle, it ’s like that, you know, on its own, probably not quite, a proper christian, i don’t turn the other cheek, let alone i don’t give the first cheek in order to be hit, for me this is fundamental, this is my

principle throughout my life, so naturally, when accusations against our country began against our president, we all know about what belarus is doing who this is, he is known all over the world, he’s just some guy... and then we just talked, because we cooperate with the alexei talai foundation, in principle it was clear that the next one would be the belarusian red cross, this is very important , pull this news in order to present it, ah-ay, the republic of belarus, they steal children, you know, we knew this, and we went through these things last year, when the situation in ukraine had just begun, yes, when we were just leaving along the corridor from through

the gomel region people came to us, they were already telling crazy things that were circulating on the territory of belarus, that you should not go out on the territory of belarus, and the ukrainian residents were quite widely aware of this information that there were concentration camps here, that men were taken into slavery here, that this is where women are taken. yes, here i am talking to people, he said, listen, can you really believe that a country that in the forties, when fascism came to our land, including your land, to the ukrainian one, yes, when we went through concentration camps, when we went through through the gas chambers, when we went through all the hardships, executions, hangings and so on, do you really think that we will do, create concentration camps, so returning now to this agenda, i understood perfectly well that this would be the same fake that will be... constantly layered, layered twenty fifth frame, until people believe it, then they will say, bah, so

the republic of belarus steals children, yes, and the main thing is to declare it, we see it, how it is done in our neighbors, european countries, the main thing is to say, no one can refute it won’t, even if you press them, they will still say that yes , what is our principle, the facts are on the table, of course, the west cannot present us with facts of theft, we did it a little differently, alexey and i got ready, went there, took it as once again a film crew to document everyone about the fact that these are children, they now live in donbass, who last year were on vacation with us, everything, every last one, yes, and the main question, when i met with the children who came to us last year, this was the first question: children, did you like it in the republic of belarus, relaxing there in a sanatorium, communicating with friends, peers, and the second question, tell me, did everyone return, maybe someone got sick,

maybe someone fell behind, maybe something else , you see, the child will not lie, and if you ask him this question, he, of course, if what if it happens that someone stayed there for one reason or another , they will of course say, well, and what’s more, we met with all the children, without exception, who were on vacation with us, it was filmed, released as a four-part film, where it was little understanding of ours. yes, where it was clear that all the children who were on vacation, and they returned home, in my interview i said that we naturally worked towards helping the children who are on the territory of the republic of belarus, so that the children understand that there is childhood, there is a country where there is peace, where there is peace, order, where god lives, and we will do this in the future. dmitry evgenievich, what did these children talk about when you talked to them, what dreams do they have ? it’s enough just to watch these children in order to understand what they don’t have,

childhood, and those children who are already teenagers, they are already they forgot what childhood is, when they come to us, in a sanatorium, or just to visit, children sit without light because they forgot that the light can be turned on, they are surprised that water flows from the tap, they are afraid to go out street in the evening, that some kind of artillery shelling could happen, they could die, when i went, especially to lisichansk, it’s very difficult to look at the conditions in which the children live, at the bullet-riddled windows, with bullet holes, yes, at the bullet-ridden buildings, damaged by shrapnel on other things, the saddest thing is that there are children who were born in 2015, during the war, who lived for 7 years and then were blown up by a mine. and childhood was not seen at all and did not know and will never know that there is another way of life, where there are

green trees, where there are smiling people, and where you can go at any time and where you want to enjoy life, this is probably the worst and saddest thing, because you, as an adult , understand that adults simply took away their childhood from these children, so we must do everything in our work , in order... to rest, albeit for a while, even for 3 weeks, but the children finally remembered or simply learned that there is another life and there is a real childhood, which... we must strive for, well, your credentials have been confirmed for extraordinary congress, you were elected secretary general at twenty in the first year for 5 years, respectively, it was a congress outside the regular one, and it was, as it were, caused precisely by the claims, the demand of the federation, you were elected once again, your powers were confirmed unanimously, and

everything is transparent and democratic, what we are taught there in the west, or they have some kind of their own ideas about democracy. the audience will draw their own conclusion - about the representation of democracy, but the fact is that the recommendation of the committee that conducted the investigation of this situation was sent to the belarusian red cross, a.e. the committee on mediation, at the international federation of the red cross, which was investigating, i don’t remember the chronology in this letter, because a lot of these letters came, it was said that within a certain period, somewhere before mid-september, he should resign... immediately, or at the time of the investigation, that is, naturally, in order to implement the recommendations that are given to us, so that the committee could conduct its independent investigation, i went on vacation, yes, i ceased my activities as secretary general until

moment of the congress, and the chairman of the belarusian red cross set a date for holding it outside the next congress , at which the main issue was considered my resignation, this congress took place on september 7, we invited representatives of the international federation and the international committee of the red cross to this congress, so in order for them to take part, unfortunately, none of them came to this congress, although the congress is quite a serious and significant event in the life of the national society, but at the same time, i was given my word, i told my father. during my trip, i spoke about the comments and claims that were made to me by the international federation of the red cross, and so it was decided whether to accept my resignation or not, and the congress delegates from all of belarus unanimously voted to i continued my

work later, as the secretary general of the belarusian red cross, and we immediately sent the protocol of this... congress to the international federation of the red cross cross that we have considered your recommendations, implemented them in full, and the recommendation was, naturally, we wrote that none of the chairmen or any other officials could simultaneously, and in their own hand write, resign to me , me appoints a congress, including, according to the charter, it makes a decision on my resignation. therefore, we fulfilled all the recommendations , at the same time, when the committee came, including to belarus, which investigated this case, met , including with me, with the chairman, we there were a sufficient number of online connections, including with the leadership, with the top leadership of both the federation and the red cross committee, so we gave explanations, in principle

they said that on october 3, there will be an extraordinary international government. federation of the red cross, where the issue of my trip to donbass will be considered, this meeting took place on october 3, i was invited, including the chairman of the belarusian red cross, i was invited to this meeting online, i spoke so that once again for the members president of the international federation of the red cross to tell you about my purpose of the trip, about the claims that were made against me, after listening to me, asking me... questions, they said that we will inform you about the further paths and decisions of the federation, soon we will, literally, probably the next day, they sent a letter, it, in principle, practically the same thing was published on the website of the international federation of the red cross, but the meaning was that the federation did not

consider the decision of the congress to be competent, for the simple reason that it went against by decision of the international federation of the red cross, they insist that the secretary general must still leave his post, they give the deadline until november 30, if i don’t do this, then from november 30, or rather, probably from december 1, the membership of the belarusian of the red cross in the international federation of the red cross, there will be... funding, the entire national society will be told not to communicate with the belarusian red cross, international partners, including the international committee, to stop any. you assumed that your trip to donbass would resonate so negatively in

their hearts, let’s just say, no, of course, because of the sanctions that can be put forward against a national society, these are comments and some other positions, there are quite a lot of them, well, extremely negative, extremely like that... exclusion from the ranks of the red cross movement, well, it’s hard for me to say, you know, i watch this, draw analogies, but i see these analogies, when our society elects a president, there are 80% of the votes, the west with this i don't agree at first imposes sanctions on the president, and then on the entire belarusian people, in the same way in your situation, first on the general security council, and then on the whole, the entire organization, collective responsibility, that is, it’s the same manual, just different steps, well,

an interesting parallel , of course, i understand that a contender has been created, although i still, some representatives of the international federation of the red cross, in my opinion, still have not deeply and finally delved deeply into the essence of my trip itself. for the simple reason that some people still talk about two of my trips - to donbass, yes, although i was everywhere, i immediately said that dear colleagues , this was one trip, where i am in the photo in protective uniform, yes, and this is the same trip in the same 7 days that i was in the donbass, only this photo was taken on that day, the only one when i visited lesichansk, and it was a forced peace, to put on this protective uniform, they have already said a lot, in fact, everywhere i was in the clothes of the red cross, a t-shirt, a cap , my badge, secretary general, in all

cities, even mariupol, including, with the exception of lisichansk, in lisichansk there was a boarding school where there were children who were one of the last to come to novopolovsk on vacation in december last year, we also met with them, gave them gifts, they were throwing a holiday for them, so it was also important for me to meet... to see these children, to show on camera that all these children who were in belarus are now in lyseychanski, but taking into account the fact that this is a front-line zone, there was literally, probably from 5 to 8 km to the combat zone , so the security measures were as follows, we were obliged to put on protective clothing, we were obliged to put on body armor, helmets, we were given first aid kits, in case of an attack on our convoy, well and naturally, these measures included, uh, precautionary measures included the fact that we could blend in as much as possible with the uh local

residents, and almost 99% of everyone there wears just this kind of military or protective clothing, and you, your red ones t-shirts and red caps would really be very strong would stand out and attract, well, yes, and moreover, moreover, with the people who accompanied us, the military, who ensured our safety, i actually said right in front of this boarding school house, when we arrived, whether i could dress like i would like a red t-shirt so that the children can identify me, remember that i am the secretary general of the red cross, they told me under no circumstances, because uh maybe uh any situation in the most extreme unfavorable case, i can be a very good target, so... and maybe not only i, but also those people with whom we came, suffered, so they said, your clothes are like this now, that’s the point, that ’s why we came, at the same time, the children

remembered, and very little time passed there, how long can it be? only seven or eight months had passed, so the children recalled a very emotional holiday in belarus , they remembered me, they remembered the red cross, we communicated a lot, talked a lot, of course, the purpose of our visit, the purpose of our trip... to donbass, was achieved, and we are still let's take a short break, our telegram channel, say no be silent, subscribe, ask your questions and suggest us new interesting guests, we are in touch, in the new project the cultural journey: let's celebrate folk traditions. in the traditions of belarus, the bread was not cut with pressure, the bread was jammed, the bread was lamali, the bread was drank, the soul of the belarusian people was eaten. in

the sunny day. all this pabudova is illuminated by the punishment of mindaug, the first caravan of the authorities, to whom our present land belarus has appeared, because national self-awareness begins with the knowledge of its own karins. geta is so outstanding that on the run of this month you can adchuts swim the hour, the spachatka here was garadzishcha, tym zamak, and at the same time dzeinichae tsarkva. our country, belarus, has always been famous for such noble people, where we have developed a great standard of excellence. watch on the tv channel belarus 24.

the program “tell me not to be silent” is on air again. today our guest is the secretary general of the belarusian red cross dmitry shevtsov. please tell me, did the international federation itself do anything specific to help the residents of donbass, the civilians of donbass? we we must understand that there are specifics to the work of the international federation of the red cross, this is the structure that works there in principle in peacetime, yes, or helping refugees from some country on the territory of other countries. there is an international red committee. their mandate just begins, the main work is when there is some kind of military upheaval in certain countries where there is a significant humanitarian crisis, they then begin work, just in the donbass, i have no information about whether they worked international

committee or the international federation of the red cross, i know that there is an office of the international... theta of the red cross in donetsk, when we went to lisichansk, from lugansk and back, and along the road there were large billboards where it was written attention to mines , do not go to the side of the road, but these billboards were installed by the international committee of the red cross, there was an emblem there when we talked, we talked with people there , with the families of those children who were vacationing with us, just with people when we met , they they saw that the belarusian red cross, they said that you are the first who, whom we see in general from the red cross, that is, whether it worked or not, i have such information, well, that is, they are listed there nominally, this is the behavior of the west, yes, it is, well, after barel’s statements that europe is a blooming garden, the rest of the world is a jungle, yes, that is, well, how stupid it would be to expect

some more humane ones. some action statements, but the publication of the economist happened, well, at least i didn’t expect such an explanation for why there are so many children dying in the gas, in the gas sector, it turns out that demography is to blame for everything , specifically, the article says that there are simply a lot of children there, about half of the population there is under 20 years old, well, other than cynicism, i think that’s the name. impossible, well, you know, for me, yes, for me too this word came to mind, namely cynicism, because to say that there are too many children, that’s why they die in large numbers, well, this is the height of cynicism, but at least , in fact, here is the author of this article, i would just demanded, after all, an explanation, and maybe even to be held accountable for

such a... conclusion, because it seems to border on very serious issues, yes, in fact, that’s what concerns the gas sector, the conflict between israel and palestine, well, this is a rather serious question, i know that it is the international federation and the international committee that work in these hot spots, but naturally we must all work towards this, and it is clear that the red cross movement cannot influence in any way on this or that political movement. i simply urge all sensible humanity that we must make every effort to put out this fire that has flared up as quickly as possible, because we understand that this is a smoldering fire, it has been smoldering in one way or another for quite some time in the middle east country, many countries have already ceased to exist as independent countries, so this

conflict... this, firstly, from a political point of view, will not lead to anything good, it can lead to chronicity in this confrontation, moreover, many experts... they point out that this could serve as a trigger for the start of the third world war, god forbid , but most importantly, the number of civilian casualties is simply terrifying, it’s very scary to look at those people who those bombed houses, on the one hand, on the other hand, a large number of casualties on the part of un observers , but this has never happened, 88 people died, that is, of course, more than 160. died, of course, because hospitals were attacked, and just like others missionaries died, not only representatives the un, that’s why a large number of correspondents died, and therefore we must, as quickly as possible, bring this conflict to a close

in a week in order to sit down at the negotiating table, at the round table of negotiations, and start working to ensure that not a single bomb fell on neither one nor the other territory, well, it seems to me that humanitarian missions , humanitarian organizations, the same federation, they should not conduct a witch hunt in particular against the main witcher of belarus, dmitry shevtsov, yes, but engage in, well, specifically somehow peaceful, always an emergency call is announced if there is such a global upheaval , including as a result of the conflict - in ukraine, since last year an emergency call was declared in the same way and the so-called was drunk, when international ... sponsors provide financial resources in order to and the money was sent to those countries where refugees are located. money is allocated for belarus and for ukraine, and for poland, and for slovakia, and for other countries where ukrainian residents

began to move - as a result of this armed conflict, but the point is that i have reliably received information that the rhetoric of international sponsors... really boils down to the fact that we are ready to provide assistance, with regards to supporting ukrainian refugees, without question, but not for belarus, not for the russian federation, such rhetoric sounds, so of course, the federation is having a hard time, we all understand perfectly well that we are in such a fairly electrified society, an electrified world, in general, where even some economic issues go away a long time ago to the background. and logic has long been turned off by a large and powerful switch, exclusively political passions, political battles come first, and at a fairly serious cost, even for our own countries, we

can see this very well and an adult will understand what i’m talking about, so the federation to the best of its ability , of course, he’s trying to maneuver, but the main principle is the one in which, among other things, one of the accusations addressed to him was that i violated the principle of neutrality, but i still hope that the federation, the international federation of the red cross, will fully adhere to this principle of neutrality and independently make decisions on this or that case, without relying on the pressures or currents that are now going on all over the world, for that simple reason. that a lot of fakes actually circulated around my trip, they continue to circulate around my trip, despite the fact that the investigation has long been completed, yes, another deadline has already been given there,

for the belarusian red cross, but there has not yet been an official loud denial that the belarusian red cross participated in the deportation of violent children from the lugansk and donetsk people's republics, only on the website it was written in one sentence that as if the belarusian red cross, we were still convinced that it did not participate in this, and some official refutations addressed to those media that continue, among other things, to periodically raise this topic, but so far there has been nothing, but the federation’s demand to send you... to resign is also a kind of there was an emergency appeal, don’t you think, they threatened that your membership would be suspended if you didn’t leave, you already said above that we would be deprived of any funding, will we be able

to function the belarusian red cross without these funds? i, as a doctor, will tell you that human reserves are limitless, we can do it, therefore, taking into account the fact that the belarusian red cross consists of real belarusians, i think that we will cope with any challenges that will stand in the way of our activities. migration crisis, belarusian-polish border. this was a very serious challenge for the belarusian red cross, because we, naturally, are the coordinators of the humanitarian mission, humanitarian activities on the territory of the republic of belarus, and if the whole society had not risen, if not... all citizens without exception had united, we

would not we have never coped with this task in our lives, it is necessary to have some reserve of financial resources, it is necessary to have what reserve in warehouses of the necessary property, clothing, hygiene products, food, well listen, tell me, what national society is able to have just in case such a reserve, which should be constantly updated, no, especially since we were not really prepared. to such rapid development and no one could even imagine that this would happen, but thanks to our society, thanks to the regional executive committee, thanks to the leadership of our country , decisions were made to consolidate society, and a call that let us help these poor unfortunate people, who are simply physically stuck on the border, who are at the barbed wire, who have been nothing for three 3-4 days they didn’t eat, they walked through the forest, now they came out and asked for help, we then consolidated , all together, there was a large amount of clothes,

there was a large amount of hygiene, food, and even baby formula, because there were pregnant and nursing mothers , including disabled people, we saw it all, and we coped with this task, yes, our international partners joined, understandably, but they needed a period of time, coordination, approval of budgets, this is understandable, it exists - such, well, routine , a necessary routine, they we connected, probably already, in about a month and a half, not earlier, yes, during this period we worked exclusively on those resources that were raised, including, i am very grateful to the media, who very constantly kept this problem at the top and thanks to which people constantly responded , we see the situation on the belarusian-ukrainian border, where there was a completely different perspective, although quite a large number of refugees from ukraine also came to us, yes, this is a village for money. region, paraginsky district, then, in fact, we all consolidated,

the regional leadership decided that these people would be accommodated in sanatoriums, that transport would be provided to accompany them from the point where we had a tent camp that worked around the clock, medical care was provided around the clock, psychosocial support was provided, again, people were provided with everything they needed and hygienic clothing, because some of the people stood and ran, yes, all needs were completely covered, this again thanks to our society, our people, then there was an emergency appeal was announced for all countries, of course, and funding was allocated including for the republic of belarus, for which i am sincerely grateful to the international federation of the red cross, and no one was left behind to other un partner organizations, including those located on the territory of the republic of belarus indifferent, so, but the first period was... fell on the shoulders of our society, so we are not really sitting still, we

understand perfectly well that, uh, the vast majority of funding that was allocated and is allocated by international partners, this is funding for assistance, and for refugees who are on the territory of the republic of belarus and migrants, and our services are funded, but the program is already being phased out, because part of the program has been going on for a very long time and is just about to end... the period is coming to an end funding from the swiss red cross , the norwegian red cross, this year the funding for the italian red cross project ended, that is, it’s as if those projects are ending, new ones are not yet envisaged, and we are accustomed to the fact that all the services provided by the belarusian red cross are to help our children, especially children from disadvantaged families , children without parents, children, disabled people, just... our pensioners, people living alone, people who are released

from prison freedom, who are without a fixed place of residence, who are sick with socially dangerous diseases, such as hiv, tuberculosis and many, many other projects, they are financed by membership fees, and which are collected by the belarusian red cross, so i want to say that the overwhelming majority, the left-wing majority of funding for all these projects is carried out: with the help , with the support of our citizens, therefore we have carried out this work and will continue to carry out this work in the future, including not only without reducing the volumes, but gradually we will also increase assistance, because we work not only thanks to membership fees, there is also sponsorship from some enterprises, we work within the framework of the state social order with the healthcare system, with the ministry of

labor, employment, social protection, including, we have partnerships with the state border committee of the ministry of foreign affairs, the ministry of internal affairs, the ministry of emergency situations, the red cross is a five-party agreement, so we have a lot of common ground, we have worked and will continue to work, yes , we will have difficult times, i do not hide it, i understand this perfectly, and my colleagues also understand this perfectly well, but we will work to ensure that the belarusian red cross remains a reliable, social partner for of our state, despite such rather difficult times, you are still planning some new projects, of course , we are not standing still, we are working, we are now finishing a very important project, these are crisis centers, and we created crisis centers in all regional cities, now literally next week we

are opening a crisis center in mogilev, this is a very large crisis center, and we have also now begun renovation of the crisis center in the city. this is the very first crisis center, it was called the crisis room, it was like this small, absolutely, now thanks to the regional executive committee, and we have a new premises, which we are now bringing into compliance , so that there will be a crisis center there, and a children's center, because now it is located in another room, we will now be a little and make such an easy upgrade so that it’s all in the same area. this allows and the efficiency was high. and now we ’ll take a short break, after a short pause, we’ll return to this studio again, for now subscribe to our telegram channel, it’s so it's called say don't be silent, look for all our episodes on the youtube channel belarus 1.

the program say don't be silent is on air again , the secretary general of the belarusian red cross dmitry shovtsov is visiting us. dmitry evgenievich, you have both full-time employees of the belarusian red cross and volunteers. i would like to talk about those and others, these are people who do a lot of work, do, in general, a noble cause, how to become an employee of the belarusian red cross, how to become a volunteer, what is needed for this, is it necessary for this you do not need to have a medical education, special skills, or any special medical education. because we have medical and social assistance - this is one of the areas of our activity, how to become an employee, and most importantly have a good heart , yes, this is the principle of work of an employee of the belarusian red cross and a volunteer as well, we don’t have many employees, we have about 420 employees throughout the republic of belarus, that is, a little over 50 in

each region, about thirty -one people in our central office, i think, just, here, but taking into account that... multitasking, taking into account that constant work, yes, we have promotions, of course, we carry them out, of course, but we have a lot of different areas of activity that i spoke about, aimed at support for our needy beneficiaries, those who need help here now in various categories , we could never cope without volunteers, in total we have plus or minus about 15,000 volunteers, of which i would say about 250 volunteers are rapid response teams, then there are so-called emergencies teams where the volunteer has been for a very, very long time, and there are about five, seven, there are 10 and 11 years old , these are people who are absolutely trained, who know how to provide first aid, who know how to provide

psychosocial support, who know how to respond to emergency situations of various man-made and natural ones, including including, because every year we train these teams together with the ministry of emergency situations, independently, various trainings are ongoing, so that people can come here now to provide assistance in various areas, different scenarios, and as for employees and volunteers in general, do they need any special training? necessarily, but we are already working with them when they have become either our employees or volunteers, that is, just have an open heart, come to us, we will teach everything, explain, tell, show, because there are many volunteers who go to the site there , on an internet page, yes, when they don’t want to become a volunteer. they can choose in which direction they want to work, and you know, of these 15,000, i think we have about 85% -

this is our youth, a lot of them are active, you know, yes, in fact it is, and what’s more, both student and working youth, and people of working age, we have more than 10% of volunteers - these are people of golden age, these are the people who have retired. and we are also very interested in these people, because when we talk about help , volunteer assistance to elderly people living alone, then of course there is no barrier here, too young is too old, here such volunteers are like gold for us, because just - they can they can talk, and of course, and of course the help that they provide, uh, there’s cleaning, uh, cooking, doing something else,

it’s very important, but the most important thing is, as i say, this is in medicine, the concept of therapeutic contact, when you have close contact with a person, emotional contact, when he understands you, when you understand him, and you speak on the same wavelength, then all problems are leveled out and the person you are helping, you help comprehensively, this is the most important thing , are there any incentives for volunteers? well, because it’s clear that an employee works for a salary, but what about a volunteer? you know, of course, there is, despite the fact that a volunteer is a person who comes at the call of his heart, we select the best volunteers from each region, each region constantly meets with its volunteers, holds various events, and on december 5th we have ... a very large volunteer forum will be held, when we will invite the best volunteers from each region here to the city of minsk, where there will be a very

interesting program for them, i will not yet reveal the secret, it will be very interesting, there will be various prizes, various thanks to the words expressed by the volunteers, not only by the red cross employees, but also by those guests who will be invited to this... holiday, then there will be a very interesting program for them , i think that they will be very pleased and will understand that the family of the belarusian red cross is a family that cares, first and foremost, about its volunteers, but tell me, what can a volunteer in the belarusian red cross do? well, let's say, a kind of career? yes, there are people who came to try what it was like to become a volunteer, they liked it, and then they became our employees. and now they work in the central office and including in regional and other district organizations

, because well, you know, i myself once learned from my student days that there was such a youth red cross, and it was very interesting, because to me , a future physician, the work of the belarusian red cross was very clear and absolutely in parallel, and with those messages that are given to future doctors in the learning process. our universities are presented, then later it turned out that i headed the presidium of the regional organization of the red cross, that is , i still provided a kind of volunteerism to the belarusian red cross and i understood that this is my life and the belarusian red cross, no matter where i was , wherever i work, she cannot uh disperse, so there are a lot of such examples, when you are just a volunteer, then an employee, your life is so connected with the belarusian red cross that you no longer think differently , and then the secretary general, and what

areas of activity or types of work might be the most popular and most in demand among volunteers, because you have several areas of activity there, you know, yes, firstly, we have services, yes, an additional help service, and volunteers come, mostly we cover the private... sector, when guys, mostly young people, just come to help clean up a territory, yes, chop firewood, chop firewood, clear paths in winter, help in purchasing agricultural products, go to the store, to the pharmacy, including, yes it seems banal, but for the elderly, even brew tea, help prepare food, this is all work our volunteers, if we say helping children, then this is also... very bright - our services, a nanny instead of a mother, i think this is the most sincere service that

the belarusian red cross has, and because we have our volunteers who perform in the role of nannies, when a child enters a healthcare institution from a boarding school, when he is alone, it is clear that medical workers have their own, their own range of responsibilities, then we provide a nanny who replaces this child’s mother, who is with this child during the day and takes care of exclusively for them for the period while he is in the hospital, and we have a very good campaign, we will collect children for school, when our caring citizens help, someone to collect a briefcase, someone to transfer funds for which everything necessary is purchased so that children from low-income families can go to school on september 1st and be just like everyone else, not feel vulnerable somewhere, and we have the most magnificent wish tree promotion,

it’s just a wonderful thing when in large trading yeah. is the red cross christmas tree, on which hang small cards with the wishes of specific children, and these are actually very sincere events when any person understands, you know, me too, despite the fact that i work in the red cross, i i am also a volunteer, if we talk about these events and about getting the children together for school and about the wish tree, when you come up and read the wishes of the children, you understand that by giving a child that gift that... is written there, yes, you are not you know who you helped more, in fact, him or yourself, because when you buy a gift for a child, and for an unknown child, and when you understand that this is the wish that he ordered, but for him in fact, this is the most desired , and you give it to a child who is not being brought up as

everything, and for him this gift for the new year is actually a gift from santa claus, we do good deeds, the kinder and better we become, this is probably why the republic of belarus always prospers, because as you said, we ready to share the last shirt, the last crumb of bread with someone who needs this help, regardless of the fact that we ourselves may have on the table, not so much food, but nevertheless we will always share so that a person i didn’t feel inferior, that’s the most important thing. and thank you very much for coming to our studio and sharing your thoughts, your projects, answering all our questions, but for now we can only wait for november 30th and wait for common sense to win, we need to continue working, of course, yes, we are waiting for november 30, because from december 1

, the international federation of the red cross will probably make a decision on how we will continue to interact. how will we build our partnerships, will these partnerships be with the belarusian red cross, we understand that services and yes, they will continue to work, but we have people who are fleeing some kind of cataclysms, upheavals in their own countries, who are on the territory of the republic of belarus, so we are ready for a dialogue, we are ready to cooperate with the red cross movement, with others. .. public international organizations, yes, in order for the main message to be mercy, i believe that this is the main slogan, the main principle of any humanitarian society, any humanitarian organization and it should stand at the forefront, but we continue to work, because we have a lot of plans, including for next year, including for

subsequent years, therefore... we are always developing, we are always moving forward, we are always in sight so that everyone can join and give their part to the belarusian red cross, so that those people who need and ask for help from us, they can understand that this help does not come from the belarusian red cross, but from all residents republic of belarus, this is the most important thing, but we wish you success in this good deed and let's hope for... we say goodbye to you until the next broadcast, goodbye, goodbye, and now dmitry shevtsov is speaking. in fact, the world is very electrified, there are a lot of different cataclysms, but it is very pleasant to know that the republic of belarus is that island of calm, prosperity and humanity

that the republic of belarus, the territory on which it is located, has always been. which from generation to generation from our great-great-grandfathers to our parents to us, to our children and grandchildren, which we will pass on. a piece ourselves, a piece of mercy and compassion we will always pass on in our hearts, this is the most important thing, to remain human, to remain a human with a capital “h”, and ready to sympathize, ready to help and ready to live together, in a calm and prosperous belarus, thank you very much, dmitry evgenievich, according to established tradition, i ask you to leave an autograph for us as a souvenir, wishes for us to our viewers, with pleasure. i hope the doctor's handwriting will be clear. let's check it out.
