socio-political talk show in essence, we talk about the most important and topical topics , today our focus is on the upcoming election campaign, which, in general , has already begun on february 25, i remind you, the first single voting day in our history, in general today we will talk about all the nuances with our experts, but as always, you can become full participants. our discussion here below screen qr code, please point your smartphone at it and go to the youtube broadcast, write your question, your opinion, we will definitely try to take it into account and sort it out, in the right corner there is a link to our telegram channel, where you will find out more opinions, insights from the life of our talk show. in

the studio, as always, kirill kazakov and alena syrova. let's begin. hello. well, look, our electoral season has opened, in fact, we started it at the beginning of august, and we actually dedicated the first program to the beginning election campaign, and we can say that this is now a traditional program we will have, because the closer the elections are, we will return to this topic more often in order not only to tell how the voting itself takes place, how everything happens electoral... processes, we, in fact, will record a certain historical process, because for the first time we have a single voting day, belarusians will elect parliamentarians from the village executive, village council of the executive committee, i’m already a little into the other side went to the house of representatives, and we can say

that this is such a big preparatory campaign for the presidential elections, which will take place in 2025. why i say this, because maybe for election commissions, for citizens who will vote, this is not entirely true, but for us journalists, for experts, for those people who will organize this campaign from the point of view of some processes that are not visible to the average voter, then yes , this is a certain kind of rehearsal, well among us we will still have just the same vns, yes, this is also a new milestone relatively, well , in fact, we really are living in such a historical event.

another candidate, what kind of period is this, what awaits us in the near future, how is this different from what was there 5 years ago, yes, you are right, kiril, the fact is that the period for nominating candidates has begun on december 17 , but i’ll correct you, they are not campaigning, they are still collecting signatures and that’s what is very important at this stage, at this stage it is important to give information about those nominated persons without any value judgments, without any statements at all that could be considered campaigning, therefore , whether it is a door-to-door tour, or pickets that are located on the street, it is very important to understand that we provide information only about biographical data and to convince - anyway

, a person needs to subscribe and a person must be convinced by the candidate’s impeccable biography, well, i’ll say here that it’s probably important, yes, that a person understands who, in general, he will trust with his vote for whom he will give it away, so often there may not be enough dry biographical facts, yes, you can talk about a person, but the point is that you cannot give...

look, some candidates for deputies use both the mechanism of nomination from the labor collective and the mechanism nominations from the party and a parallel mechanism for collecting signatures, at the same time, this is also possible, yes, absolutely possible, moreover, this is even better, this is a kind of insurance, that is , a person can, we have such precedents quite a lot in previous companies, when a person is nominated from the party and from the labor collective and by collecting signatures, sometimes they use two methods, for example, the party collecting signatures, also very, well, with regards to the fact that the company will have a single voting day like this here is the first in history, vladimir vyacheslavevich, also for you, probably, this will be a certain test from the point of view of law enforcement or not? because we remember 2020, yes, when to say what,

we didn’t expect a little from the fact that our opponents will begin, well, specifically sabotage, organize a circus, instead of ensuring their will there, and not interfering with other people, as now, what conclusions were drawn, what are we approaching, there were many discussions about what to install at each area? there were certain analyzed aspects that allow us

to approach this more professionally at the moment, rehearsals, i ’ll tell you, this was the last election campaign, where we interacted with the central election commission with the central election commission as well as the ministry of internal affairs, as well on the ground, we closely interacted with election commissions, in principle, the previous electoral campaign.

to expel from the site , yes, well, what does it mean to expel, not to expel, but to take measures to restore order and law and order, that is , an employee of the internal affairs bodies is present to assist the chairman in establishing order, that is the question, that is, no we will not identify new offenses, this is what is new for you, for example, in this company, i know that, for example, many chairmen of election commissions, many members of election commissions. went through some training even at the academy of management , there were some almost very realistic schemes, schemes were played out, yes, when, for example, some kind of provocation might happen, this is what you are ready for , what, for example, in the twenties or earlier you did not see? kiril, well, i want to say that we

don’t yet know the composition of the precinct commissions, yes, this process will be completed by january 25, when the precinct commissions will be formed. well, as the speakers have already said, that in fact, at the polling station, the rightful owner, so to speak, the chairman of the precinct commission and the members of the commission, of course they have the main responsibility, here are the employees of the internal affairs bodies, they will, well, help somewhere in some difficult situations, but they will certainly observe the organizing process itself . members of the commission will be observers, yes, who - by this period , will also indicate their presence at certain polling stations, that’s why , well, i probably agree with vladimir that we are probably ready for a different event situations and, future chairmen

of precinct commissions, i think that they will also be psychologically prepared for these processes, but... we assume that the campaign should take place in an organized manner and well, this is what for you personally has become, let’s say, a kind of novel that you well you’ve studied it 100% and you know 100% how to react to it, for you personally, i’ll just explain there that in the twenties they came in droves to the site, i even remember from myself they folded it like an accordion now.

there was a vote for changes to the constitution, it was easier there, that means you have one ballot and two answer options, now some will have four. some have three, some have two, and some have one , in fact, it seems to me that it will be very difficult, even for the voters themselves, that is, this

moment of responsibility, not only do you study about one candidate, but you also need to study about the second , you can’t just go and check the boxes, otherwise what’s the point of all this? galina nikolaevna, this is what you think, this is your advice at the initial stage to people, especially those who will really have four four. figure out what to focus on? thank you very much, alena. yes, indeed, our republican public association is engaged in information and educational work, we organize a number of dialogue platforms, specifically on changes in the electoral legislation. we work, including with young people, many of them will come to the polling stations for the first time, and this will be absolutely. for them it’s a first, new, yet unknown experience. what is important? they ask us questions, and we are, of course, ready to answer them. first of all, we explain

what changes, what innovations are being introduced. we are talking about what algorithm of action, yes, we are building this very sequence, because having sixteen years of experience in the existence of white russia and participation in all election campaigns, yes, election campaigns.

roo bela rus, this is any person who wants to receive information, of different, completely different levels, from what his constituency is, where he should come,

so i think that in fact this election campaign will go quite calmly, so for some reason it seems to me so, despite the fact that there will be about two, three or four ballots, we still have some kind of

quite interesting history of the creation of a new body of the all-belarusian people's assembly, we have a single voting day, plus in fact, we are in the first such stage of the four-party system as it is now? this company, including, we conducted relevant sociological research, 93% of the population, for example, in our region knows what will happen on the 25th, and...

people begin to want to live just normally, and the president insists on this, he ’s calling meetings to ensure that everyone has everything on the table for the new year, this is the most important story, people are now thinking about what to buy, where to buy, what gifts, how the new year to note, but doesn’t think about politics, so february 25 is still far away, well, understandable, but in any case, so we must politicize the people back, or we must go through with the situation

that is now probably the peculiarity of this . precisely these elections is that yes, i completely agree, people are a little bit ours are non-political, but they are disciplined, and today the age of information technology people... are, of course, more absorbed in everyday issues, yes, so that everything is fine, as we say, so that there is no war, so that everything is in the stores, so that there is lighting in the streets it was , these are the issues that concern the population today, of course, many issues today are the task of local executive committees, these are government bodies, not deputies, but deputies are today the guides, the guides of those problematic issues that are possible in the territories. because they were under enormous pressure blow, yes, well, let’s not remember those

moments, now conclusions have been drawn, the circle there is work with members of election commissions, information in general is limited, but you meet people, those who could potentially be part of these commissions, not became? no, of course, there are definitely no fewer people willing, here’s a social portrait, well, i can say for example in the mogilev region, today we have formed 188 territorial and district election commissions, including 1,218 people. if you look at social portrait, then it largely reflects the current alignment of both political forces and social forces there, well, i can say that , for example, in these commissions

that i have already identified, yes, today we have about 10% - these are representatives of political parties, you four main , yes, this is white russia, this is the communist party of belarus.

and high turnout for elections, and competitive elections, these are the indicators by which we will evaluate performance. vadimir sergeevich, in your opinion, what do people, citizens of belarus, expect from parliament and what they expect from the parliament, well, let's say, the country

of politics, which are outside. it is clear that any election is a special moment in the life of any society, and it is not for nothing that the draft concept of national security included such a concept as electoral sovereignty, this is independent.

yes, in fact, we can determine it now, because this is the first composition of the parliament that we are electing after the attempt - the rebellion in 2020, that is, strictly speaking, already with a certain, well, with a certain assessment of events, with a certain exam, we are already there we come, well, obviously yes, we voted for changes to the constitution, we voted for changes in powers, and many said that we have this constitution just for growth at the request of the belarusian society, which wants to take part in the political life of the country, accept. the most important political decisions, i agree with

the fact that it is important to stem the wave of politicization with a negative connotation, but at the same time, not to slide into a certain situation, well, everything is fine with us, then when something is needed decide, it’s urgent, then we’ll go change something, that is, now our, our single voting day, our election campaign will be aimed at laying the foundation, so to speak, for the future, yes, that is, we are planning those people who... a socio-political talk show in essence, today we are talking about the election campaign, in 2 months we will start a single voting day, by which we will elect deputies of the house of representatives and local councils, in fact, well, i know that some surveys were conducted, yes here are the numbers for...

now you have to fill out, yes, we did conduct a public opinion survey regarding the public’s awareness of the upcoming election campaign, these are the results that we received in may-june 2023, they certainly surprised us very much in this is exactly in the positive direction, why because well, firstly, the survey itself was conducted in such a summer period ago, yes in the summer period people are on vacation , people relax there, well, what is it like, relatively speaking electoral? preferences, but at the same time we noticed that the absolute majority

of the population, they realize the importance of a single voting day, give it a certain meaning, you can even cite these figures as the fact that 67% of the population of the republic of belarus is already ready to take part in it , considering that these data were obtained actually 9 months before the start of the election campaign, these are very high figures, you even know, if not a high degree...

based on many years of practice, respondents are most willing and honest to the greatest extent respond when there are surveys. how do you feel about this, how can we resist this and act? well, we

, naturally, as in our professional environment, of course, with some degree of skepticism and even a smile, because in no way are these so-called surveys on platforms, they cannot be considered either sociology, or science , or in general, these are accentuated forms of information and psychological influence aimed at destabilizing the socio-political situation in our country, well, colleagues, remember these very well numbers 97 there are 3%. they appeared, why? because, well, yes, sociology is always good, beautiful, yes, there are some numbers, graphs, diagrams, respectively, if there is an election campaign, you can, so to speak, measure the rating, see who is leading there, who can. to be there in second , third position, so, naturally, this information is very often used for manipulation, for various kinds of destabilization, but again, what you should always look at and pay attention to, first of all, these, well, so-called companies, organizations that primarily work for western

states, they say practically nothing about the research methodology, about the principles of selecting respondents, it very often happens:

which needs to be promoted, or maybe is already being promoted, i’ll give an example, yes, when we often we compare, we draw parallels with the russian federation, we remember how they had similar campaigns, they still started a little earlier than ours, million-dollar bloggers appeared a little earlier, public opinion leaders, and so on and so forth similar, which in different ways, each working for their own audience, one way or another promoted what was important for the country.

it’s very difficult to surpass, so how, how to interact here, how actively are they ready to get involved in such work? of course, popular bloggers are ready to work in this direction and we already have certain points that will be published in the near future, namely this work with leaders, including youth opinions, because allow me such a small example, even the now popular tv series in russia, which is now being actively promoted, but it has completely taken over the tiktok of our young people. why today the topic of elections, the topic of a single voting day, cannot be the dominant topic for discussion, watching videos, but for this you need to have approximately the same talent as the creator of this series, of course, but we have young people, i want to especially emphasize this , she is talented, and there are guys who are ready to direct their energy, i don’t mind, but in

any case there are a number of young people who will be actively included in political and social life. that is, you are a citizen and you must pass a certain citizenship exam, so how can he come to the dormitory, for example, he’s, i don’t know, a third year student, he just stayed for the weekend, didn’t return home, how can he go, is he tiktok? maybe yours are looking like this, scrolling through the pages , absolutely right, kirill, just like that, walk with your feet and talk to him, tell him that

today it is your voice that is of paramount importance, like the voice of others several million young citizens , look, the crisis there three years ago has passed, which means we are psychologically accustomed to the fact that our most important company is the presidential one, in general there is still time before the presidential campaign, a year, therefore. correctly noted in the parliamentary elections, and further in the most important elections in our country, the presidential ones. and many young guys are running

for parliament in this election campaign, you haven’t studied the issue, that is , of course you have, moreover, we will support many, because it’s no secret that those guys who in 2019, representatives of youth, who are now deputies, showed a very active campaign, adopted several key legislative acts, generally behaved actively, worked with... maybe monitor, look at what is not coming to us, how many women, how many men, to expect from the future parliament, well, i

think, this is how the situation is now, this is how you are, that traditionally in parliament there will be at least a third of women, young people, it’s difficult to talk about young people, it all depends on those personnel who will be nominated, because what do we have now there are young, bright, active guys whom people are ready to support, but let’s look at the nominations, this is the first, second, as regards working with youth in general, because you need...

i would like to understand, but we are talking about those leaders of public opinion, who you should focus on in order to express your position, maybe you know, among the potential candidates, are there many famous names, because well, as i understand it, in modern society, a person who is a leader of public opinion, working as a deputy, is also as if a certain request for the future, you know, in general, every candidate is normal, he should be a leader of public opinion. that is, it must be a person who is known , who recognizes the position, who is understood, and most importantly, those, let’s say, actions, whom

people support, accept and trust, because we are talking about local councils, we are talking about the chamber of representatives, these are representatives of the authorities, unfortunately, what we talked about again in the first part of the program, we remember, unfortunately, examples from the past, yes, when, under the guise of the interests of the people, they ended up persecuting. completely different interests of anyone, but not ordinary people, and they wanted to turn the country upside down, well, in general, i agree, as for the personnel and leaders, yes vladimir sergeevich, if so in historical retrospect, from the point of view, well, science , this is an election campaign, what, what can it be, it is clear that history is constantly repeating itself, yes, now we had such a surge 3 years ago, the whole society shook up, now, probably, it’s such a quiet period, what should we

expect next? indeed, one of the features today.

what happened was that the president signed a decree amending the law, the law , i apologize, signed a law amending the law on the activities of political parties, only three parties were re-registered, and a new party, belaya rus, was created, there is a request for parties, there is interest in there are parties, from my point of view, people will go to the polls if they feel that there is some competition between the parties, but we are a democracy of consent, and we have public consensus. regarding the basic values ​​of our life, yes, our parties compete on top of such a patriotic basis, but there is a demand for programs, it is surprising that our current political space, as many may seem strange, is wider, for example, than the space of the same united states of america, there are two parties, well, of course, there are only two parties, and if we

superimpose these two parties on the ideological spectrum, we will get a small one.

maybe it’s not worth doing them exactly media, because look, the party, well, in essence, these are people united by one idea, the same views on certain events, but they have a vision, at the head of the party there is, in general, a person who is a media person who sets these vectors.

when we vote for a person, why do we so actively and so, well, with a large, large number of votes, we always support our head of state, we vote for a person, but the head of state is the head of state, when we talk about parties - this is a slightly different story, that is now in fact, returning to your words , 2 months before the single voting day , well, in fact, the party representatives will have to promote it. i am now confident that people, perhaps, will vote for party leaders as party leaders, for the same gaidakevich, romanov, for example, sokol, yes, but for everyone else they will

vote as for people, most likely this is the beauty of this company, for the representatives of romanov, gaidukevich and so on, you know, if we are talking today about the fact that our parties are actively involved in electoral process, that's it.

here we are also talking about the fact that the belarusian party, since we are already talking about the belarusian party belarus, is essentially people of the people who have been verified by the republicans.

specific activities, maybe certain developments, results, precisely his civic position, in terms of constructivism, because today it is important that our entire civil society, no matter what party, what public association, we all understand, we live in one house, and this is a house in the republic of belarus, we have apartments, yes different, but we are all neighbors, that is, the program , the charter, of course we have different, it will crystallize, there will be this specific...

show, we would really survive the same collapse that is there in ukraine, there is a continuous show, but we will have holiday. evening prime time and this is a panorama, tatyana korol is with you, hello, let's sum up the results of this day together, the demands of the first attention are directed to the most popular question.
