in the forests and about 3,000 people worked at a time, they treated the construction of the library, well, with full understanding that they were building a temple, when we had already imagined that this library itself with its collection is the greatest value of humanity, so we presented this ball in the shape of a diamond.

the new building, it is much more comfortable, of course, and most importantly, the book has become much more accessible, you don’t have to wait a week, for example, until the book is brought from the crown, no, right away, all at once, the document is packed using a telelift, this is a single-flight transport the document delivery system is sent to the service area. within 15 minutes the reader will be able to receive the document. during the year , our reading rooms are visited by readers about 500 thousand times, and we issue more than a million documents. at the top we always have documents on law, economics, and history. our famous round hall, the oval hall, was held here. events with the participation of the head

of state, we are now hosting international congresses and holding meetings of our integration communities. how can russia and i share the genius of russian literature fedor mikhailovich dostoevsky, whose family comes from this holy belarusian land. on september 1, 1966, the book museum opened and later an observation deck was added. the eastern space of the national library of belarus is a complex of ten exhibition locations with a total area of ​​more than 4,000 m2. about 100 various exhibitions are held annually. today we have more than thirty types of excursions. about 4,000 excursion groups visit us every year; our visitors have the opportunity to come to holy of holies. and in this stock house. to

the national word new shopytom , its own microclimate reigns here, a comfortable temperature for capricious guests is 18-20°, air humidity is 45-60%. the system of centralized dust removal and non-supply air conditioning is in operation. and yes, no safeties - today, the keepers of the cultural code can already choose; they prefer belarusian-made shelves and do not like ultraviolet radiation. curator. technological vagaries, the dispatch department, the heart of the engineering system, diamond high-rise buildings launched even before we engaged the reader in the interiors, since then we have been on duty around the clock, we have two heating points in the libraries, a large load, since it is almost like a microdistrict, a special fire extinguishing system, the automatic relay system is working, which means the room.

kubakolos 910, 908, 913, documents come to us in the fund, now in modern formats, for example, this is the atlas of belarus on a flash drive, we can find sheet music in the fund with debussy’s autograph, both teachers and students come, they apply it is for vinyl records that the most complete collection of classical music is collected. we are one

of those few places where you can listen to a high-quality vinyl record, here you can listen to music, audio texts, 3 years old.

microbiological safety, apart from our library, partly an art museum and archive, is not involved in complex restoration, this is a leaf-splitting machine, this device allows us to do work with a very large amount of literature that simply crumbles in our hands. the task of our library is real namely to preserve the book heritage and not only that we have it in physical condition, yes, but... pages, we have a whole range of first-class equipment in our arsenal, literally in 10 years we have stepped forward, which

is great, this is amazing, start, automatic page turning, so in... in real time on the monitor we see what has been scanned, we are creating an electronic library, the entire network of our libraries will be united with this electronic library service, a virtual reading room should eventually arise, the whole story collected in this library, and it is also an incredible socio-cultural center, what events are held here, after all, this is a diamond of the country.

conducted a survey among schoolchildren: what do you consider a symbol of modern culture of belarus? they put the national library of belarus in first place, i think this says a lot.

in ancient times there was a technique of wood filigree lace, then it was lost, but more modern ones saw it and decided to recreate it, so a group of masters gathered under the leadership of vladimir tsukunov. so they decided to come up with a machine that will make beautiful shavings, by trial and error they made a machine that makes thin shavings, removes them, from which you can make a beautiful piece of jewelry, this is basically why the name

filigree filigree, because the thinnest shavings are made of wood. i came, i was little, i came into this, my father came in. well, so that we liked it a lot, but no, well, it was a little interesting there, i never

thought that i would do this, but when we got older, after the army, the bulk of them were there , that’s when interest appeared, perseverance, firstly, appeared because i wanted good things when i was little, so that they would appear quickly, but quickly and well it didn’t quite work out, in principle, this happened almost from childhood, and i... in principle, while i was on maternity leave , little by little i started to help vitalik, there were some little things, there with velvet, first all these rags in the box, and then little by little i started looking somewhere, then i can’t do it, well, i think, let me try, well, i tried it and decided , that in principle, after maternity leave, i’m kind of with i will work with him, well, i have enough patience, why not.

our work has spread almost all over the world, we know for sure that in england 100% there is more than one work, in america there is, bill clinton was once made a box for a weapon for a pistol, the vatican was leaving. several works, two icons were leaving, a carriage was made for the carriage museum, a lot of work in minsk, in the church of all saints, at the central entrance, also our work, somewhere in every corner there is not known for certain, just from whom, and in principle, yes it doesn't matter, the main thing is that the work made the person happy. the number of works completed by our entire workshop, no,

we don’t keep count, they exist, well, even if we try to sit down and count, we can list the largest icons at most, on average we make dishes, mostly we do, on average each dish takes 3- 4 days, each member of our workshop takes part, that is, in production, we divided the labor so that everyone has their own responsibilities, someone there at least needs to paint it, prepare it, sand it, that is, everything someone also needs to do this work, someone glues one thing, someone glues a pattern, someone glues there, for example, i really like, for example, then covering this pattern with very small shavings, if it is some kind of icon of large sizes, then on average 3-4 months, again, each... member of the workshop does something of his own, each has his own responsibilities, but

for now we have children, we don’t force them, well, i think it can maybe they will come if ever on their own, that is, sometimes, when their interest awakens, they do something, and so, well, the bulk of scanners, we have 4 + 2, that is, two are still in the stage, we are all in the stage. i can tell you that only craftsmen from gomel, from

the gomel region, master this technique, for... work we use the wood of all fruit trees, stone fruits, apple trees, plums, in general, everything that grows in the garden, everything, everything. but firstly, it is very rarely found in the forest , and secondly, it is very thin, due to this we value this wood, that is, we use it very carefully for the purpose, because we know that it is difficult to obtain, sumac is very

beautiful color or as people call it vinegar tree, we love chestnut very much. because it is such a soft , plastic wood that lends itself, we use pickled oak, but very rarely, because it crumbles due to its loose structure, it crumbles very hard to use, maple can be used, birch can also be used, rebina, very good color, and also only not forest, because in the forest they are too thin, that's... where if someone is pruning, it is also a very good color, we try somewhere, the only thing that is not at all we use - these are raspberry ones, because there is a discharge, even if it is tapped, that is, well, they drained the resin, there are still residues there, it cannot behave very well, it is unpredictable, the tree is already alive and there

is no telling how it will behave, no one can, we still use frames in our work, we do it. of course, there are times when we are asked to make so many identical pieces, we immediately explain to people that yes, they are the same, they seem to be the same, but at the same time, if you look closely, they are not the same,

because somewhere the size of some dot there doesn’t match, somewhere there’s something else, well... in general, we get ideas, let’s say, i very often take some photographs for myself, so i saw some there’s a drawing somewhere, and i immediately think if i can use it for work, well, that is , as a rule, i show vitalik, if he likes it too, we stylize it for ourselves, because after all, it’s not possible to put curls everywhere, then we stylize it for ourselves we are already trying to do it. this is to say that something specific, no, it just turns out, well, it’s included in the top,

this dish, the boxes, the cases seem to be the same, the pictures, so due to the drawings, pictures and... the frames are moving apart, that is, they turn out completely different, despite the fact that they are similar on the outside, but because of the drawing, they they are completely different, they have different characters, in principle , each artist has a slightly different style, and character, moods in the pictures, well, it’s all conveyed, even with a good mood, if you do it with a bad mood, you can understand where she did it in a good mood and where not. because in a good mood you look at the product, it breathes something light, well, it’s nice to even hold it in your hands, and if you’re in a really bad mood, it absorbs like negativity and isn’t very good, so we basically try to work only with a good mood, but we did it , we got two jobs, we did it for more than

6 months, we did it in parallel, one of them - this happens in the temple. all saints arched like this, this is the coat of arms of minsk around the coats of arms of the cities, the second was, the second was on it, and the filaret, firstly, they are the largest from all that we have done over the entire time, well, there is probably a human height, a filoret, yes, a filoret meter 60, a frame 80 meters high, the second is that in the church of all saints there are two mantles. in my opinion, a person who wants to do filigree wants to create such things. well, at a minimum, you must have nerves of steel, patience, just perseverance, health,

eyes so that you can see well, because the details are very small and it’s very difficult, the strain goes on your vision, your back, yes, well, the most important thing is perseverance, you need to be prepared to that that you won’t be like at work from 8 to 5, that is, sometimes here i am...

it is transmitted, well, a piece of the soul, this mood, this, well, the easiest way to say it is, this is a piece of the soul, and wood is such a material , that it is still a cold metal and more so, but wood is warm and energetically, probably absorbs it all, that’s probably what it seems to me, it’s just wood, it’s a warm living material, when people see our products for the first time they always ask? what is this, well, when you say that this is a tree, they ask, oh, it can’t be, but how? you did it like this, well, you start explaining, showing, as a rule, you take

out photographs on your phone, where you take step-by-step photographs of some work process for yourself, explain to people, and well, many don’t even believe it, well, like it was with the carriage , when the carriage was presented to the vatican, the italian media wrote there that it was made of pasta, and indeed i looked, and well, yes, from the outside, it looks like it is made of pasta, so all the magic lies in the fact that it is wood, and no one can think that it is possible to perform such a thing so subtly and delicately work, if there was an opportunity to change something, lately in our family we have been talking among ourselves about what is possible... someday in the near future we will have to go to work, and what else to do, i don’t think i see it nowhere, well, i just don’t see it, i

can’t imagine what it’s like to go to work there from 8 to 5, everything is strict, everything is under control, well, i’m used to working for myself, for my own pleasure, because i like it, i probably, well, i would have been doing it anyway when i started, it seems, well, it’s still not so it was, now it is so. to do something so beautiful, and then i got involved and also no longer, i, as a housewife, still need a day off, well , because it’s washing, cooking, cleaning, anyway

it’s all on me, and it’s his day off, he i already see him walking around looking for something to do for him, and it’s my day off, well, i’ve done all the work so far, no matter how tired i am, i want to rest at least a little, so he can’t live without work at all. in general, the two of us were born in gomel, when it was possible to build an apartment, when our turn came, we were offered other options, but still we settled on the root, because... the places here are beautiful, the forest, we came, looked, liked everything, stopped at this place, one of the most beautiful places in the gomel region,

this ... it’s located in the patskevichs’ village, it was their hunting lodge, well , they preserved it here, restored it a little, it turned out to be such a beautiful place where you can go for a walk, get some fresh air, there are quite a few cars here, despite the fact that that the 21st century, well, beautiful, good, clean air, i’m an economist by training, well , somehow i wanted to get into economics, i thought it was for me. in the end, i didn’t work for long, after maternity leave i decided to stay involved in scania, because this business attracted me more, more opportunities, the possibility of some kind of growth of my own, then i was at the initial stage of being an apprentice, i am a cook by training, and maybe i can be a cook i would have stayed until the army, it turns out, i worked in a restaurant, went into the army while i was in the army

, the restaurant closed. i came without a job, so i tried back and forth, there weren’t any more places in the restaurant, i tried to do a little construction work, but then my brother said, let’s try, so he returned and began to work more professionally, and it dragged on even more. but i still can’t stop, i was born into a family of ordinary workers, but creativity has always been in our family, we are very good at it, my father drew, in principle, we practiced from a small age, more with the elders, i

was very young , but he practiced.

as a rule, we spend our vacations, so we work as a large family, very often we we relax with a big family, go out into nature, and even went to the sea, with a big huge family, we couldn’t even find a house, and somehow everything is amicable, well, sometimes there are minor troubles, and here we go, more, probably, it’s still an active holiday with us, that is, we go fishing there somewhere, barbecue... that is , somewhere on the road, yes, we even bought ourselves a special boat, and now we fish from the boat, but that is, even if it’s a trip for one day, we still put up tents, a fire, everything is as it should be, active recreation, what we love. if you have a desire to do something,

well, one desire is not enough, it must be a huge desire, because it’s not just being boring, you have to be prepared to be completely absorbed by the idea, because to earn money, most likely, at least right away , it won’t work out exactly, there will be a lot of trial and error, a lot of defects, stages...
