imprinted with it since childhood, especially this plot, but i found it in bobruisk in one of the stores, purchased it, and now i’ve kind of restored this composition here, a child’s childhood is filled with bright, broad strokes, and this is very memorable, in childhood a person, he is more open, naturally sincere, but i i’m not ashamed of it at all. feelings and these emotions that are inside me, a small child still lives inside me, it is a great happiness that he is preserved in me, because this child allows me to open myself and discover the feelings and emotions of children. there is such a common phrase, the main thing is that... the suit

is sitting, you know, i paraphrased this phrase differently, the main thing is that the hair is there, for me this is very important, and the children parody me in a good way, oh, guys, please, unfortunately, over the years life changes us, maybe maybe i even traumatize someone mentally and the colors of life change their color... the tonality is completely different, such a gloomy tone, so i would like to advise people, if they still have this childishness in them, take care of it, because it is of great value, especially this applies to people who work with children.

scientists, despite the drought, this year is excellent; for example, domestic varieties of cherries have proven themselves. by the way, for breeding work on this crop, scientists and samokhvalovichs were awarded the belarusian prize. our specialists are also actively looking for peaches that can be successfully grown on our plots. the seedlings being monitored now can withstand frost. hazelnuts are also popular; in general, active work is going on across thirty crops at once. in recent years, we have created cherry varieties with a fruit weight of more than 9 g, for example, in this year we have transferred two varieties to the test, these are antaris and regula, this is not the work of one breeder, this is usually the work of previous generations, so thank you

how do they assess what is happening around our countries today? we address this question to the guest of the program, the head of the federal national-cultural autonomy of belarusians of russia, a member of the presidium of the council under the president of the russian federation, academician sergei kondybovich. sergey lvovich, you recently came to minsk to participate in a meeting advisory council of the parish on the affairs of belarusians abroad. that's how comfortable it is today.

now all these things have appeared that have further strengthened our unity, which have further strengthened our solidarity, we didn’t even think that we were so strong, it turned out that when the time came, well, let’s not deceive ourselves about certain trials, we showed exactly our character, the character of russians, belarusians, that we, firstly, are still more united together, and secondly, those indicators that are well...

about food products, that this is our dear belarus, in my opinion, is capable of feeding

not only russia and china, as time now shows, this is really a treasure, a treasure of our gost super elite products, that’s what, this is the first, second, this is how recent events have shown years, when a special military operation began, it turned out that our enterprise. only the military-industrial complex, all our enterprises, industrial ones, they showed fantastic results, and today that’s all the technology. super tested and in the fields battles, here in our rear, they show that we are standing in the most advanced positions, what our enemies laughed at, oh, we won’t give you some kind of chips there, something else, forget, all of us we can, we can do everything, moreover, the fact that we taught them at one time, now all our developments,

they are most effectively implemented here, the role of the leaders of our countries? noticeably, are considered today a union state? our strategic leaders, president of the republic of belarus alexander grigorievich lukashenko, president of the russian federation, vladimir vladimirovich putin, they show a true example of fraternal relations as leaders, an example of how to lead a state and how to move towards rapprochement, and not at the expense of independence. not to the detriment of some very identical circumstances associated with each country, and you know, we are very proud, here are the belarusians, here are the russians, we are generally happy people, belarusians and russia, why, because during the construction of the union state, i think that belarusian and russian - this is a guard in the construction of a union state, the 25th anniversary

of the union state is coming soon, but what exactly do people, residents of the two countries get from this integration, what does it give us? eight road maps that were agreed upon, and you know, at the philistine level, on the one hand, this is what gave, well, maybe there is no need to be super deathly, although i will give an example from today, here are my colleagues, members here council for belarusian abroad affairs from other countries, they have a lot of questions, a lot questions, how to come home, how

to replace documents, what visas, what more. moreover, some of my colleagues are in a very difficult situation related to the pressure that is put on them in the countries where they now live, and you know, here, you probably have to proceed from something else, when you come to belarus, any russian, by the way, now it’s new year’s eve, my friends who know me are now contacting me, listen, we can’t accommodate. i say, just now, well, recently, please, people went to warm countries, all over europe, it turns out that belarus is not just a country for living, it is a country for recreation, a country for treatment, and moreover, this tourism, that’s what is there, well, medical tourism is also developing very much now here is a position like patriotic tourism, and you know, here is

patriotic tourism, maybe this is not entirely correct, but i know that now ... well, my colleagues, rectors of many universities, here in moscow, in the russian federation, they are first-year students , here is a person who entered a university, immediately the first year is sent to belarus, the brest fortress, khatyn, so that this is an inoculation against nationalism, this inoculation against this dirt and muck that is being imposed on us, next year is special for belarus, the year of the eightieth anniversary of the country’s liberation from nazi occupation . and then the anniversary of the great victory. recently , attempts have been made to rewrite our common history. what do we need to focus the attention of the younger generation today in order to still preserve this reverent attitude to the feat of the soviet people, to our common great victory. it seems to me that the time for trying to retell history has passed. we

have firmly seen the light at a very important stage. we are very clear. they cleaned out all this dirt and abomination, as for russia, the russian federation, now all this freedom of opinion, it is gone, now there is a very clear position of the head of state, there is a very clear ideological paradigm, but what kind of ideological paradigm if there is a history that they really tried to rewrite it to show, well, what kind of story is there, what is it about? you say, no, we have the best history, the most correct history, a history that gave birth and gives birth to patriots, you understand, here is a small homeland, great love. it seems to me that belarus cannot be a small homeland , a homeland, it is always one, it is always great, that’s why love is always unlimited,

that’s why here, that’s why we are together now, that’s why we support each other in the most these are difficult times, this is our genetic cat, these are our spiritual bonds that speak about this, this is sublime, in fact it exists, it tangible, it materializes, and as for the upbringing of the younger generation, you know, there is already this, well, there is such an understanding that some generation is lost, there is still no lost generation, there are our guys, our girls, but where -something , maybe we didn’t finish looking at it in the first place, somewhere, well, it just happened. but in this context , here is an example of the policy that is being pursued in the republic of belarus, the fact that alexander grigorievich did not allow this at

any stage in the formation of modern history, and when they always knew that the constitution of the republic of belarus spelled out such an option that the state has an ideology, now in the russian federation there are also ideological armed structures. forces, where without it? sergei lvoevich, literally just a few days remain until the new year, what can you wish for belarusians and russians? you know, i think that both russians and belarusians do not need any parting words, why? because we always expect from the new year, from a new stage in the life of society, of course, always the very same good things and additions to our families, and goodness and health to our loved ones.

it is we who have achieved this peak, so much so that let them envy, i think that perhaps not many decades of centuries will pass when they will all say, we also

want to join the union state, and by the way, there are such people today, we will be very we are glad, thank you, sergei kondybovich, head of the federal national-cultural autonomy of belarusians of russia, answered the questions of the program, further in the event program belarus is extending visa-free travel for residents of latvia, lithuania and poland, launch of a new one. air route with china and domestic development in the field of medicine, we will return to the studio in a few minutes. this is the events program for belarus 24, we continue. belarus has extended the visa-free regime with latvia, lithuania and poland. we will find out more details from our columnist svetlana chernova. citizens of poland, lithuania and latvia will be able to visit our country without visas in 2024. with initiative. the ministry of foreign affairs of belarus came forward to extend the current visa-free regime. the head of state supported this proposal. the introduction of visa-free travel demonstrates our country’s openness to restoring normal,

equal interaction with neighboring states. we see without a doubt the steady interest of our neighbors in traveling to belarus. these can be very different purposes, either to visit your loved ones, relatives, or to stay in a sanatorium, or what’s wrong with that, to buy many. to belarus for order. let us remind you that there is a visa-free entry procedure for residents of neighboring countries, as well as a visa-free procedure for citizens of lithuania and latvia as well. not only with

for the purpose of tourism, many have relatives in the country. in addition, people often come to the republic to buy food, medicine and fuel. chinese schoolchildren and students will be able to get acquainted with the works of belarusian authors. what kind of initiative is this? we are talking about a cultural center that is planned to open in china. in the future , translations of books by belarusian authors will be collected there. the development of cooperation was discussed at a meeting in minsk, the interest of belarusian youth in original publications by chinese authors was noted. this. demonstrates and minsk international book fair, where china presents its publications annually. the meeting participants were invited to visit the thirty-first exhibition in march. the work on translating belarusian classics for readers of the celestial empire has also been streamlined. and these areas will expand. for chinese youth , belarus is not exactly incognito, but they know belarus, but the need for information is colossal. that's why our chinese colleagues

offer this. to make such a specialized center not only for the educational process, which is also very important, but also in order to visit our country in the near future. literary works are the best means for the peoples of our two countries to understand each other. we want to deepen cooperation in the translation of literary works in belarusian and chinese. a presentation of sidin pin's book on public administration in the belarusian translation also took place. so far, the first volume has already been completed and work on the second. another step towards developing strengthening relations between belarus and china. a direct flight will connect minsk with the city of sanya. what is attractive about this direction? the city of sanya is located in hainan province and is famous for its large number of seaside resorts. the start of the flight program is scheduled for mid-january. you can get to your destination twice a week on tuesdays and saturdays. the flights will be operated on airbase aircraft, which can accommodate

three hundred passengers. travel time 11 hours the opening of a new destination will contribute not only to the development of tourism, but to the increase in bilateral trade. that is opens up new opportunities for tourism and for establishing new cooperation. hainan is a very interesting place, not only because of its climate, but there is also something else here, it is also an important place for... the development of business. the new route will be launched for 3 years; the extension will depend on demand from both sides. the first knee replacement operations using domestic endoprostheses were performed in belarus. whose development is this? scientific and technological park bntu polytechnic, which provided the center of traumatology and orthopedics with 100 endoprostheses. the artificial joint consists of three components made of metal and plastic. the quality of materials is not inferior to imported analogues.

doctors emphasize: the release of a domestic prosthesis will increase the number of operations by reducing delivery times. waits for imported goods can reach up to 3 months. domestic endoprostheses are ready to be delivered every 2-3 weeks. this year we also participated in testing this endoprosthesis. yes, we offered ours, as an orthopedic traumatologist, we offered ours certain wishes, including for installation tools, have been quite actively implemented, so to speak, into practice, already in december we... received the first batch of these endoprostheses, in the near future we are also expected to receive another batch for our clinic, so i think , we will only increase the volume as regards the use of edematous endoprostheses. since january 1 , 1,800 operations on endoprosthetics of large joints have been performed in minsk ; about 75 people are operated on per week. and now about the beautiful tradition of sovereign belarus: steel the laureates of the prize for spiritual revival and the holders of the special
