[000:00:00;00] this nine-month accelerator, where we learned all this, because business week, within the framework of business week, yes , this is a huge three-day event, where there are a lot of speakers on business, people buy tickets here and come to listen to great specialists, and as part of this event, we have such a mo-day, yes, that is, this is our final moment, where our projects that have passed the accelerator, we have a speech there, we have some kind of commission, that is, people who evaluate, to what we came to, we were before, to what we came after, and they give some kind of assessment, there is even some kind of prize, that is, it ’s even some kind of monetary one, yes, but it’s very important to understand for yourself that this is where you grew up, who you came from, what kind of startup you came and what company you left, here within just these 3 days - it is very important that in the commission that listens to us like startups, there are really people who have influence, that is, these are either some heads of large companies who can invest in

this startup, today is agrotech day, yes, that is, this is where the startups that are in the field, namely agro, yes , i go there with my neuton, and that is , here today they are gathered, for example, a representative of rosselkhozbank, namely, which deals with agrotech startups, that is, these are representatives they consider some large belarusian companies that are in the agro system not just as a commission to take an exam, but as potential startups that they can take on, in which they can invest, so even questions which... they ask me after the presentation, they really are not just for the sake of questions, but they are in order to, these are clarifying questions, that is, they really want to understand for themselves what has not yet been told, what has not been understood, and therefore somehow this is direct communication, and even roughly speaking, the most valuable thing is after, let’s say there were some pitches, yes, and when there’s a coffee break, that is, we can communicate directly, they already know what to talk to you about, and that’s it there are a lot of

such moments happening here, let’s just say, non-verbal, even yes... when a person, one of the members of the commission, someone or investors who liked your startup while you were pitching, can come up to you and say, listen, let's exchange contacts, let's talk, and we can look at it in more detail , i can come and talk to you there, it’s very cool , that is, in fact, it is very difficult for a startup to get into such an environment, that is, this is really a chance that just happens once, i don’t know, one in a million. i have literature on this topic quite a lot, at one time i also visited the citrus festival in monto in french in menton, there is an annual festival there for 90 years, and if it works out this new year i would also like to go to this festival, every

day about it about 2000 people visit, the prince of monaco is also present there and many other famous people, because it is fabulously beautiful there, and the first book that was presented to me at one time was by a person unknown to me, andrei boranovsky, a man comes to the institute for the new year , who says: i wish you to give the book citrus world by the british famous author james sont with a signature , and this man never saw me, we never knew each other, he also signed it and handed it to me, this was like an incentive for me... to continue to engage in citrus fruits, well, i was also given gifts from skorsik’s friends, curators of the citrus collection, chinese researchers, uh, the management of the central botanical garden of the republic of belarus, and many, many others, people who are passionate about citruses all over the world, a huge number, i don’t know if it’s billions, but at least millions , as for our country, we have thousands of lovers, there are gatherers, active ones, there are passive people, there is someone who loves

just one tree. to look through, so to speak, but in principle, today, thanks to the internet, thanks to various contacts , it is quite easy to contact people from all over the world, and as for me , at one time i met a czech collector, then with german collectors, with the french, with united the states, and finally, china, which presented me with the citrus community, meaning citrus lovers, an excellent book of chinese citrus varieties in chinese, also georgia, abkhazia, where i went, where i received a professional certificate, as well as characteristics from specialists, well, let's say, the center from where citrus growing developed in the former soviet union, as for our country, we have a scientific sphere - this is a botanical garden , as well as a large number of hobbyists who grow, cultivate,

but also several... people , in particular me, who want to develop their own new varieties , citrus fruits can grow anything, how successful it will be depends on a number of qualities, if you want... to get, for example, new varieties, or to achieve something, it always , at least it seems to me, must be combined with the influence of such qualities as determination or activity, this is hard work, the lazy, lazy people usually do not achieve anything great, finally love, if you love your job, then i can achieve great heights i like growing citrus fruits, i basically love citrus fruits, try... cultivate, grow, breed , observe, without citrus fruits it’s more difficult for me to live and express myself, i wish all uh, lovers, enthusiastic people, try to grow at least one citrus tree and wait

harvest from it. the borders of three lands, the lands of drygovichi and razimichay and krivichay, and

then the principalities of smalensky, chernigov and turvopinsky principalities closed in gomelchovo. unique architectural monuments await you. famous russian art critic georgy lukomsky,

having visited the palace in 1913, he wrote: watch in the program of the city of belarus on the belarus 24 tv channel. the faces of saints from its wooden icons seem

to look into the soul, you can’t hide from such a look, you can’t hide, people are used to it and see the same icons or something they ’re painted there are pictures there, some postcards there, something like that, and then it comes. having never studied the art of woodworking, he creates absolutely stunning works, equally deftly handling miniature chisels with huge chainsaws, i have three of them, all of different sizes, i do one there under the saws, the second above the saws, the third here is the thread, i see what should happen, well , i see an almost finished thing, so i start choosing unnecessary parts. that's all. the main thing he dreams of is that the person who sees his creation wants to buy it for himself will experience the same emotions as he himself did while working. if i cut something, i put a part of myself into it, because, well, well, how could it

be otherwise? it’s not just like that, i took the board, planed it there, i even need to feel it myself. valery fittinsky, master wood carvings from the small town of derechen. in the grodno region, a man who at one time, like many villagers, went to the big city for money and success, but years later returned to his small homeland, it was here... in his own words, he finally found himself. this gallery. most of the wooden icons by master valery fittinsky, the faces of saints

are not at all similar to those that can usually be seen on icons or reproductions. it’s clear, the material itself dictates the technique of execution, well, in the picture it’s 2d, right? but in this work it’s already 3d, because i’m doing something that ’s not on the icon, that is, the sides aren’t visible, you know, and it’s much more difficult. i just have to figure out how to depict it myself from, say, on the one hand, just a painted icon, this is not there, valery does not hide it, in fact he creates copies, but the faces in his works turn out to be very realistic, some saints look sternly and even sternly , some are patient and merciful, many are frightened and even alarmed by such realism, people are accustomed to the same icons or

some kind of hand-drawn pictures, some kind of postcards , some kind of something, and then they come and nikolay practically looks into your eyes , like that, there are others like that - admits valery, who is fundamentally against calling his works icons in the full sense of this words, but for the master himself it is not so important what those around him call his wooden creations, icons or spiritual panels? having taken up such unusual creativity many years ago, he still cannot stop. let's say nikolai, this one, i sat down, i couldn't to tear myself away from it, i sat and cut it all day , well, it took me about a day and a half to two days to make it, there were such moments that let’s say you start making an icon, now you’ve done half of it, but it’s like maybe he doesn’t let you in or something, i don’t, i don’t know, if i cut something, i

put a part of myself into it, because well, well, how could it be otherwise, it’s not just like that, i took the board, i hurt there, i even need to feel it myself. valery works in a small workshop at the derechen crafts house, he has partner, also a well-known woodworker , mikhail grintsevich. together they can take on almost any, even large complex work, create a huge ponno or a carved chest? he is an expert in cutting out geometric patterns, while valery rather specializes in volumetric work. by the way, with experience i came to the understanding that it is better to cut icons not from a single piece of wood, but to create them from several layers. it now consists of three parts, this is the first background, this is the first board, nikolai’s face is glued to it, the third is a book, this one glued, here the hand will also be glued to the top to create... a large volume

, yes, that is, it will be three-level, let’s say , for each work the master has his own tools, jambs, chisels, knives, cranberries, most of them are not purchased, valery says real ones the master always makes a tool for himself, this is a soviet country, they once cut rails at some factory and it is very good, so i take it somewhere, i made this joint. well, look, but the hardest thing is to put my hand on, my fingers were cut every day when i i just started, you’ll hurt yourself somewhere, but now we mainly make the cutters to suit our personal, well, arm , that is, so that it sits in the hand, everyone has a different hand, that’s right, mikhail is valery’s mentor and friend, and a colleague, this surprises many around me, two masters, each

with their own view, approach, with their own me. what do you cut together, but what can’t you work together, you can’t do this kind of culture together, you can’t cut together, on the contrary , it’s more interesting, he starts doing something, even, i’m already older, i say, what are you, well why are you doing this, well, in the end it turns out to be a masterpiece, you know, in general, this is all the more surprising, considering that i never studied as a cutter, and not only small work, which requires skills and handling of a huge number of special tools, but also that which requires completely different professional qualities. a good person needs to be given wooden sculptures , valery and mikhail were ordered at the beginning by the local administration, next to the house of crafts there was an empty old park, left over from the times

of the famous sopek family, two friends and river workers we took on the task of arranging it, using an ordinary saw to cut out an artistic sculpture from wood, it’s not an easy task, even for a professional, well, this is imaginative thinking, i... i see what should already happen, almost, well, almost a finished thing, i see, here i’m starting to select unnecessary parts, here’s another thing, here the volume is completely different , and you have to carry the saw all day, so it’s not easy here, i’ll say, but with saws, they’ve seen more than one of them, i have three of them, all of different sizes, one i do it under the saw, the second above the saw, the third here are carvings, sculptures have appeared in the park, now many of them are covered with snow, but in the summer the park... comes to life, children run here , couples walk, valery and mikhail put huge wooden chess, their own author's work, in the yard, trying in every way to bring it into the old a village

of dual creativity and novelty. in permanent. not only the muscles need training, but also the brain. at first glance, it may seem that intelligence and erudition are far from sports, but we will prove that this is not at all the case. which sport belongs to the lexicon term "jep"? single combat. single combat. of course, jep is a blow, so to speak, with the front hand. we connected logic and answered the question correctly. according to the rules of the game, participants must go through four periods, answering not the easiest questions. questions, such a device can be used in several sports, name at least one of them, i will assume that this is shooting, this is the wrong answer, the centenary is celebrated not from the day of the first olympic games, but from the day of the formation of the international olympic committee, like this question, let's just say, with a catch, whoever proves

that he is the main sports expert of the country, whoever scores the most points by the end of the game will be the winner, nazar takes the lead, this is perhaps the main event of the second round. the fourth period, friends, the culmination, the denouement of our project. watch: intellectual competition show, head game, on our tv channel. getting to know belarusian enterprises and the outstanding results of their work. our company released the first personal evm, vvm 18:40. we have risen to the level of the best in the world, the largest enterprise. in europe, more than 2.750 million linear meters of fabric, if all the fabric is sewn in one roll, the globe can be wrapped around the equator 86 times. we have two main areas - automotive components, computer equipment, these products are not inferior to european foreign analogues,

an approach to business that everyone should strive for. our company is no longer young, but motto e maintains traditions and boldly looks into the future. there are people who have worked in our workshop for 42 years, we really value continuity generations. and when you solve all the problems, you succeed in something, you get a certain level of pleasure, and this moves you further and develops you professionally. watch the quality mark project on the belarus 24 tv channel. 24 a day, 7 days a week, we are working to ensure that you are aware of current events in the country and the world. in addition, our team of journalists obtains valuable knowledge from experts on how to maintain and increase health. there is also room for entertainment. every

still wonders what zigzags fate had to make to bring him to current point. fittinsky himself comes from derechin, but like most young people he dreamed of leaving the village for a big city, and he had such an opportunity. he could easily have entered the then institute of physical education in minsk. i came, well, i’ve never come anywhere, and there was an anthill, there were people there, i’ll be honest, i was just scared, or it wasn’t my thing, or i just felt kind of wild there, and i told my aunts then that i didn’t have a classification book, they don’t give us them, they just gave me a diploma, that’s it i couldn’t even imagine that i would live in minsk then. valery finally moved to the capital, worked hard during the day, worked as a table worker in one of the capital's cinemas in the evening, and

painted pictures for his soul at night. it was there that valery first saw the work of one of his colleagues, who was interested in wood carving, and decided to try it, and this activity seemed to become an outlet for him, then a difficult divorce was going on in his life. valery recalls that if it were n’t for creativity, he could have simply drunk himself, and then throws another test at him, he gets into a terrible car accident, i barely survived, i lay on stretch marks for probably a month in the hospital, and at home i probably lay for a month or a month and a half, i also couldn’t get up, well, it was a shame to become completely disabled life, well, i picked myself up, i’m still walking on my feet, valya believes that his miraculous salvation was not accidental, at that moment, at the request of a friend, he maybe she pushed me into what i’m doing now, maybe she was protecting me, maybe it’s

the other way around , something happened because of her, after all these trials, valery took a completely different look at his life, realized that he no longer wanted to participate in the pursuit of the benefits of the big city, one day the school director, my ex, no longer met him, said: valera, where are you, i say , in minsk, he is in minsk. and didn’t even ask where i work, where what, the main question is that i’m in minsk, all questions immediately disappeared, where am i, what am i, maybe you have some kind of yard, maybe someone else, there were no such questions, the main thing is in minsk, but i’ve never suffered from this, it did n’t matter to me, after all, i was always drawn here, always drawn to his homeland, valery returns to his native village, completely devotes himself to his favorite craft, if he just looks on the internet for a job that sinks into his soul, he gets down to business without any fear, although he has never done anything like this before,

but carved wooden icons for him become something completely separate, special, i want to give at least the slightest something to a person, because now there is very little faith, i want to give at least a little something. to a person so that he let’s say, he was even scared that he looked at this icon, perhaps it will protect him from something, at least he will become a little better in some way, better, at least the person will change a little in his own understanding or way of life, this is good, having left behind him life in a big city, returning to his homeland, valery looked at his life in a new way, there was time for internal introspection, why did his fate turn out this way? we were plowing all the time, throughout my childhood, i felt sorry that the kids are on vacation, they play football

there, they go swimming in the river, we had nothing, we just had to help our parents, work somehow, earn some money, somehow get up there, i’ve had this since childhood a stereotype has been created that someone needs to prove something, so how can a guy like me in the past turn into a guy like me now? so not everything in life can turn out so bad, right? it means maybe you can become someone and be shown on tv when the person in the past who he stood bent in a field all his life, all his childhood, now they show it on tv, you understand how people’s stereotypes are broken when he doesn’t sleep at night and creates his wooden icons, and then he sees how

strong the reaction people have when they see his work, just they will go and pray to them, that’s all, for him they are just icons, not some object of some luxury or something, it shouldn’t even be like that, while there are disputes around him, whether his works should be considered real icons or call them artistic panels, he only smiles silently, he knows, this is not the main thing, human faith is important, a person
