on the terrace of the lat makiata coffee shop, every week i will try to understand why more and more people are changing their life in the city to the village. she lived most of her life in america, but suddenly her divorce from her husband put an end to the american dream. the circumstances were such that all she received after the divorce was three children. so, the four of her children returned to her homeland and began to rebuild her life. we'll find out today what came of it. hello, hello, my name is vasya, very nice, i’m irina, irina, vasya, sergey, very it’s nice, i didn’t watch anything on purpose, i didn’t read anything about you, i only know that you of your own free will, of sound mind, sober memory, having lived in america for some time , returned here, back to belarus you built, created what what we see is true, it’s true, and not quite directly from new york here, with intermediate stops, but in general, yes, that’s exactly how it is. we will definitely

unravel this story with all the stops, with all the interesting movements of your life, in your story, well, i want to start with this beauty, it’s fresh the house, this is not some converted house, is it built from scratch or not? construction began in the twelfth year, in the fourteenth year we already lived here, and the idea of ​​the house itself , or rather not even an idea, but just a dream, it had already lived in my head, probably for ten years, it was absolutely abstract, not tied to the land or a specific place, but the house was drawn in my head, and where it came from in my head, they didn’t try to find the answer to this question, well, while i lived a lot in america, i worked as a realtor, so i i saw quite a lot of beautiful different country real estate, and this is such a collective image, it was most likely born in pennsylvania, because there are similar houses there, and they, in turn, came there from austria, from different mountainous regions of switzerland, that is, these are chalets , uh-huh, only.

a little bit larger scale, you can say, you transported the american dream to the belarusian reality, yes, yes, but it was first in europe , then in america, and i’m bringing it back, you can see what’s inside, let’s go, after you, this is the rare one happening, when there is not only external beauty, yes, if we are talking about a person, for example , internal beauty, here you can admire just drowning in your home, forever, so many antiques, so many books, so many paintings, notes and these sweet ones on the stove, just eyes they're running away, where did all this come from, you robbed millions from barrathon, where did this come from? accumulated over a long life, that is, these are all objects of your history, this is not just an entourage, something brought from somewhere, basically this is something that is connected with our lives, yeah, that’s the right one for you a living room in which absolutely the whole family can fit and everyone will find a place for themselves, the second floor, as i understand it, these are more bedrooms, right?

well, then there are spare rooms, rooms for different purposes, in one of them now , for example, our dog polina lives, that is, the dog has a room, well , it turned out that you don’t want to adopt me, this is very nice, you have no idea how difficult it was tear yourself away from this house, you can really look at everything you saw inside endlessly, but the story of our heroes speaks for itself won’t tell you how america happened in your life, i was in my fourth year, these were the same ones. the nineties, when there were different vouchers, lack of food and, in general, anything in the country, and somehow it was not clear what to do next, i wasn’t very interested in work, i was leafing through the newspaper, for other purposes, i saw an advertisement , work, salary up to a thousand dollars, oh-oh-oh, i counted the zeroes, because at that time our salary was 10-20 dollars, uh-huh, i called, they told me work in america, i

she said, oh, and hung up, well, of course, so unexpectedly, i’m 20, 2 or 21 , probably, then i sat and thought, well , why not, there’s work in america, it’s cool, so i dialed further, and it was in the spring, and in the spring of the next year, in my fifth year, i actually flew to america with all the money i had, i took 200 dollars with me, well, that’s what kind of offer it was, i was a nanny, there were simply no other options there at that time, it was all such a wild immigration of the nineties, then i married my first husband, and then such an independent life in america began , well, because for 2 years it was not me who lived in a family within a family, and then there were even more interesting jobs in a variety of different ones, from a waiter to a secretary of a law office, during this time we had the birth of my husband has several children, just several, yes, yes, you stopped counting them, what’s the matter, well, two and then a third daughter was born. when we already

lived in moscow, in general, at some point we moved to moscow, for some reason your story doesn’t smell like sergei, how he burst in into your life, he is at this time, just before the collapse. so, accordingly, it was like moving and building a house, it adjusted to all these circumstances, by the time the house was built, we already had a new family here, as it was, he just came out of the forest and you realized that it was him, almost like that, yes , almost like that yes, he came out and he really has known each other for many years, in fact, yes , and at the right moment he came out of the forest, here we had my fourth daughter, oh-oh-oh ours. common daughter, she is now 10 years old, and this those 10 years that this project has been growing and our child is growing, it’s very interesting , during the conversations i didn’t even notice how we got to the house from which the estate’s history began, this house was originally planned as a bathhouse, instead of a bathhouse it turned out to be

a house, which went into change, exactly, yes, yes, yes, then everything else followed, everything else went forward, because well , this house began to bring in money, which is just... not even so much in money, we understood how it is possible use this area to make it, let's say, candy, well, it was interesting for people here, so guys, but now i have to go get my youngest daughter, i think that irina will do a great job for me, what are you telling me what will happen, thank you very much, we are waiting for you, we are waiting for him to return to us, there are responsibilities in the meantime, we will continue the tour with irina. what was the starting budget for this entire event? this is life in america, it somehow helped me come here and realize my dream more comfortably, because an attentive viewer will definitely say that it’s not, well, understandable, it’s easy for them to say, they are from america, they have

a carriage and a small cart of money, but what should we do as simple as it was? in the process of divorce , i got children, everything else was my husband’s, so no, was it some kind of mutual story or? well, it was easier for me to do this, it saved me nerves, time and many, many years, which i have already lived happily, but i had a small apartment in the resort village of narach, there were good, very good earnings in moscow, yeah, in general, i’ll finish the construction this house is right next to each other i managed to to feel, to understand what it is, this is, well, let’s say, a two-room, three-room apartment in the capital, you know, i haven’t compared it for a long time. probably a three-room apartment in the capital, i think it’s something like this, yes, in ’21, wow, for the first time, when i was asked to come to a magathe mission related to the delivery of fuel, i realized that i didn’t have time for this, and i already i don’t really want to, i guess

it’s more interesting here, for me it’s generally very important, not just how much my work costs, but that i enjoy it, on the territory of our heroes one large master's house, a small guest house, which we have already seen, and two absolutely authentic interconnected village houses with history. how did these houses happen to you? oh, this is a love story, in general, in fact, great love, and mine for these houses, the owners for their houses, our union with seryozha, because only thanks to him it was possible to find this, i had the idea to revive the old house, i i really love my grandmother, who is like this... old, wrinkled, smelled so delicious, was so wise and good, in old houses something very similar to old wise people, the only task left is to actually find old log houses, although there are a lot of non-residential houses , to find two identical almost identical houses,

this is house number 4 and house number 14 in the village of dubniki, there are 5 more between them, 6, 7, 8 and so on, they are not together, they are part of some kind . these are two houses from the same village, cool, you didn’t build them here, you took them, we took them, dismantled them, log by log, they were all logs signed, well, not us, but the guys who know how to do this very well, and then they had to be signed within two or three weeks to immediately assemble, they cannot lie disassembled, they will all spin around and then nothing will fit, we put them on posts, in january they were already standing here, this is the room between them, which is a shared kitchen, i ’ll show you everything . they are assembling a children's construction set, you bought yourself an adult construction set, yes , yes, and we cut this adult construction set, assembled it, remade it, this is lego, let's look from the inside, let's go, an amazing house, there is such a mixture of styles, here in front of me a bedroom in which the walls are not even covered with some kind of wallpaper or decoration, it’s a real

mess, next to it is an absolutely modern washbasin, a modern wall that can be seen in our modern city apartment, all of this somehow lives together, everything this... fills in each other, who is the author of the design of this entire project idea? well, yours, i also dreamed, well, i didn’t dream, but when i’m shopping for the night, i like to invent such things, it’s just that the volume, volume, volume of different visualizations, everything, well, in general, very it helps that when you’ve been to a lot of places and seen a lot of different things, then of course the visual range is very wide, in general you already have an idea in your brain, anywhere you can come across an idea, all these draperies, i had a friend in long island who was about 60 years old

, i’m older, kan, well, white emigration, her walls were covered with fabric, in france, this is very trendy, she brought this trend to america, yeah, let’s do a little navigation, which means we are now inside the same house, right, yes, we are in a hut zsigmond, how many people can be here, you can accommodate here, comfortably six eight, so how much does it cost, for me a mere mortal to stay here for a day, now it’s not cheap, inexpensive, because it’s the most. low season and with all the discounts, the two of you can live here for 200 rubles per day, in season, it costs 300 rubles for two, and so on plus 50, each next guest, when you have so many guest houses, you need to be prepared for that you can have many guests at the same time, and when guests there’s a lot, you need to feed them somehow, what ’s special about this cafe, well, besides the fact that it’s very beautiful here, a chic combination of colors, amazing, what’s the other special thing?

this cafe, what is interesting here, we feed our guests mainly, mainly with what we grow in our garden, yeah, what we have in the chicken coop, so, what can be collected and obtained in the forest, and what can you buy from the nearest neighboring farmers, okay, what will it cost me here for dinner, so my wife and i arrived and this is how we started eating, i just eat i love it, you love to eat, it will be inexpensive and very satisfying. well, i see that there are no spectators, how many, that breakfast costs 15 rubles, plus 3 rubles for coffee, someone we brought out coffee separately, because very often people come with their own cup of coffee and don’t want to pay for it, they ’re here live, they go in the morning with their cup, they only need dinner, something heartier, so here i am, and lunch is 20 rubles, dinner is 25, okay, we’ll take it from you, here’s dinner, 25 rubles, what can i eat for 25 rubles, what are you eat, we have dinner according to the days of the week, so well, which one do you remember? i remember the most popular, most favorite dinner of all our guests is elk cutlet and pancakes with salad or

deer depending on the season, 25 rubles. 25 rub. how many moose are there? there are two cutlets of 100 g each. well, of course, it’s always nice to say this, not to move bags, yes, but let’s get down to business, how do you look at it, vasily. positive, very good, i see that you are an energetic person, probably ready for any discoveries, no, good, good, let’s complete three tasks, okay, and the first task, so elegant, you are a young man, you probably haven’t seen the times when in minsk they brewed coffee on the sand, on the sand, on the sand, i saw they did this in a resort in turkey, that ’s great, well, now let’s try to do it here in belarusian forest, so brew coffee on the sand, okay, i wonder what else, well, next, you know, while we were walking here, i still have some homework to do, yeah, you can iron a couple of duvet covers for me and make

the bed? i didn’t have time and what does she really need? there will be a blanket in a duvet cover, and a blanket in a duvet cover, my favorite, i guess, yes, i have a husband, a son, nephews, i know how they love, don’t feed, don’t feed bread, but for my son, despite the fact that that he is a physicist and in general a person who understands very well how to make it match, although it seems that when you put one on top of the other, it is the same? then let's start with something simpler, a duvet cover, let's leave this hardcore one for the very last moment, let's start with an elegant one with coffee, let's go, let's go, have you ever seen something like this, well, i'm with i saw the sides, i saw and it seemed that everything was very easy, the turk is simply placed in the sand , then you make sure that the coffee rises, and as soon as it rose to a critical level, you took it off, poured it out, that’s it, yes, man, if anything - one thing is a professional, he is a professional in everything, i noticed this a long time ago, yes, you described everything absolutely correctly, this is my coffee machine, and so it consists of an induction stove, a frying pan and sand from

a white lake, now i will show you, and then you you'll do it all yourself, okay, we the sand is very, very hot, we bury our rod there, so to the very bottom, to the very bottom, now it’s already scratching there, yes, yes , we dig in, everything is fine, yes, something is a little clear, let’s get it out, because there is a suspicion , that just now... it starts to boil, it won’t start so quickly, it’s already cooled down enough, i just want to do it myself from the very beginning - please, so let’s smooth out the sand a little, yeah, it’s very similar to a tray. yes, yes, yes, there is a lot of sand, so, put it up to the bottom, cutting in there, better at the beginning like this, yes, dig a hole for him, oh, nothing, you see, if he is a professional in one thing, this does not mean at all that he is a professional in something else, well, that seems to be it, now we just have to wait, when,

yes, i’m usually bored of waiting just like that, so i roll him like this, well, i just. now we’ll make him warm and there we’ll add hot sand to him again, i remember as a child you’re always sitting in the sandbox playing around, there’s always this one in the yard who’s bored, he’ll come to your castle and drill it for him, it’s fun for you to collect everything like that, i i’ll take the spatula from you because i understand , yes, thank you, because i’m not bored, it’s very good, small burbalki, here it’s really like when you’re fishing, you literally gape for a while, that’s all, of course. so because of the couple you can’t see anything, but we can handle it, leave the steam, so, well, i think we can already shoot, but no, wait, i want strong shutter speed, so oops , let’s shoot, ready, so, wait, wait, bravo, now is the most difficult thing for my shaking hands, my parents always told me as a child that your hands make sand well

sift, and so the notes were useful not only for sand, well, well, well, a masterpiece? yes, of course, vasily, if during the season, yes, something suddenly goes wrong with your work, yeah, come, you’ll be borista with us, good, thank you very much, the coffee hasn’t run away, the dishes aren’t ruined, but that means the tests are over, we are preparing for the second, vasily, you often help your wife at home , well, we definitely don’t iron the bed linen , i came up with, developed my own scheme, you just lay the wet linen on the bed and immediately lie down, it straightens itself there, this mighty thing, well, yes, at least when it’s hot, it’s fresh, and you do it somehow differently, i’m so potougau, oh well, for now we’ll stick to our hotel standards, and we’ll iron you, that is i understand, you have no experience in ironing, i iron shirts, i iron t-shirts, what are you saying, well, you’re just an exterminator, then this task is completely nonsense for you, but why did you fold it

somehow, and you understand, it’s more convenient, so that , firstly , the duvet cover does not drag along the floor, and secondly, a good iron... with a burst of steam, it irons a lot at once layers, wow, yes, you see how dangerous it is, okay, yes, when we, we folded the duvet cover in half, and then in half again, this saves us time, because while we are staring at this side, the inside will already warm up and so, maybe it’s enough to iron here, respectively , a professional hack, and you want to save time, no, you iron it properly, don’t i need this here, it’s good that i’m hitting the fan? hitting the pa, wait, everything got stuck here, i hit, nothing happened, let's, let's press the button, i i press, yes, it’s about to happen, so wait, that’s a very inconvenient tube, in fact , you see, what the shooter did, yes, so , well, you see, how smoothly, you press your finger, well, maybe this thing has moved there, here , yeah, that’s it, they set it up for me incorrectly

, initially they gave it to me, well, of course, this is any boss, so yes, he will never admit it, and then they deprive me at the end, at the end of the month. because, because i just did one less, yes, something, you see, yes, it’s scary, really, yes, of course it’s scary, no, well, my house is just simpler, i don’t seem to have such goals that under a blanket you can then cut people up, ours is somehow simpler, there are just no wrinkles and enough, okay, but not enough, you know, i i saw such a thing, well, i already pressed it, honestly, it’s not enough, here is such a thing, the wire clings to it, and yes, yes, it should be, it should be, it would be, by the way, i wouldn’t be surprised if you have it, you just didn’t give it to me, well, probably, yes, i wondered if you knew how to use it, and maybe you could use a simplified scheme, well, almost there, now we’re folding our duvet cover, absolutely right, bravo, only the most experienced housewives do this, it’s amazing, good sleep

, this is the best thing i’ve seen in my life, thank you, i’ve never been flattered like that, in fact, ironing with such an iron is a pleasure, although if we are not talking about one duvet cover, but about a whole set for all three houses, perhaps i’ll take my words back, the final test is ahead, i ask you for your beautiful ironed duvet cover, yeah, so, can i at least straighten it, but before the start tasks, of course, yes, otherwise i think you’re already ready to turn on the stopwatch, but a stopwatch is a must, i think you might need it? this is all your task, no, i’m not interfering in this anymore, here’s a blanket, here’s a duvet cover, this is not a simple matter, it’s immediately clear, the person is rummaging around in the matter, yes, well, well, i think, a couple of minutes, you can safely. leave it to this task, however, until you find where the entrance, exit, and so on are, i ’ll be back in a couple of minutes, figure it out, thank you very much,

your hospitality knows no bounds, so good, while i was talking, i found the entrance , here it is, a little trick in my execution , we do it according to the old-fashioned method, we lay out the duvet cover like this in front of us, with the entrance towards us, we take the blanket, in the same way, if it’s horizontal. or a duvet cover, which means we take the blanket itself horizontally in our hands, grab one corner, the second corner, then the left corner, for example, let go, come in, pay attention, i hold in my hand the corner of the blanket and pull the duvet cover towards us, so that the corner coincided with the angle, it's very it’s important, the whole corner is hit, the corner is here in my hand, it’s not going anywhere, but to be on the safe side, you can do this, put it here and use your knee, it’s not very convenient, but it works. next, we take another corner where we have it, here it is, and do the same with it, but in its corresponding corner, that’s it, if we

did everything correctly and did not mix up the corners, then we already have the upper left and right the top corner remains to be taken out from under the knee, we continue to do it like this, well, at my house it turns out better, but at home i just don’t have the ones that fit under the blanket, which fits the blanket, here’s a slightly different story, let’s take a different angle. we go in, insert it into the corresponding free window, press it here again with our knee, this is very important, because a corner can get lost, and a lost corner is a very bad omen, the slavs believed, we get here, we again have two ready-made corners, one under the knee , one in hand, well, it’s already there somehow, we just push it in, voila, well, i told you, the blanket doesn’t fit under the duvet. the blanket is obviously wider, that’s all. as far as possible, pay attention to how evenly the blanket is tucked into the duvet cover.

irina, take the job, if only, the blanket matches, excuses immediately begin, excuses begin immediately, great, you did it, thank you, i thank you, you made my evening life much easier today, yes, and i was extremely pleased to watch all this, to participate, so now i would be happy to treat you to tea and homemade cake, this is a tempting offer, god bless her with this bed, that’s all great, let's go have tea, let's go have tea, let's go, i was 100% prepared for this test, because at home in my family i am responsible for putting on the duvet covers, you can say that here i was performing at the home stadium, well , so our day has come to an end, finally our whole family is gathered, because today we left for obvious reasons. i had to pick them up from school, the girls are finally here, this is not the whole family, i understand, this is not the whole family, exactly half, the eldest son and daughter are still missing, that is

there are about 70% of us here, children, finally here, i want to ask the children what it’s like to live in the village, young, active, i don’t know , friends, i probably want girlfriends, school, this is the whole story, somewhere walk, watch something, here it is , here you are interested in how you spend your time, well , we have a horse here, neighbors, a friend comes to me from minsk, directly from minsk, but comes to visit me on weekends, 160 km, well, i deliberately go to myader for classes, it’s great, and how are you, that’s how you like it, well, i’m on a bicycle i go, sometimes on purpose, i study at the school, i go for a walk, yeah, friends come here, yes , what else is missing, maybe some immediate plans, some kind of insight, stuffing, what else is planned here, because you are clearly restless and literally today you will go to bed, tomorrow morning you will come up with a new concept for this place and perhaps something else will appear here. everything is of course possible, everything is changeable, some

new ideas can always come, but in general, there was some kind of plan for the implementation of the project, it was gradually formed, supplemented, but in the end, in the form in which our estate exists now, this is how i imagine it, like... the plans now include pictures, bouquets, some accents, something small, something insignificant, but important, details, then i would like to wish you that you finally find the peace that your guests usually find with you, so that you have free time to do, as you say, pictures, decorations, that is, something that is no longer so much for business, but for myself, for my pleasure, for my... thank you thank you very much for this day, may everything work out for you.

with this family, i caught myself thinking that i need to listen to my desires and dreams more often, maybe really, if i really want something, if i see it every time before going to bed, and when i wake up in the morning i understand that you dreamed of your dream, you need act.

we protect our villages, we, brother, leave the battle behind, hail to the earth, our bright name, hail to the peoples of our forefathers’ union, our beloved.

the harrows are dear people, we ourselves, forged behind you our forgotten feather, glory to the earth, our a bright name, as the people say. soviet union,
