all belarusian songs are already ideas for creativity, each song is a belarusian masterpiece, we search, we just take an anthology of belarusian songs that we liked, to our liking, the lyrics, of course, the lyrics are very important, if there is depth in it, belarusian songs always have it, we sing... folk songs that are close to the people, especially since we often go to such distant villages, we have traveled a lot all over belarus, so when you come to a small village, of course, singing pop music, probably, will not be quite right, and those songs that are sung at the table when people gather for various celebrations. there, i don’t

know, maybe a birthday, they sing ordinary folk songs, even at my house, when i arrive and the neighbors come, everyone gathers at the table and starts singing, you know nadezhda kadysheva, then yes, ordinary belarusian songs, which i might not have even heard before, i even have an accordion, on which i can sometimes play along then well...

when i am asked whether a person sings badly or well, there is an opinion that no people who do not sing, everyone sings, they just have voice-hearing coordination, some have it developed, some do not, some are naturally gifted at it. singing well, performing, some are simply either shy or simply do not have this coordination between voice and hearing developed, creativity, all people have it, each person has their own little creative thread that they just need to touch, everyone probably has a hobby and some kind of business that they strive for, that they want to do, not just like that. it needs to be revealed. when

you are emotionally tired, or physically tired, you always want to rest, and of course , every person also has some place where you can retire, i have a hobby, this is a passion, a serious passion for hunting, i like to go hunting in my homeland to my mother, so i have friends who are hunters too, so we get together, go. to the forest, for a day, for two, we hunt, well, everything, of course, in moderation, on the hunt yes, i managed to catch a lot of things, let's say , well, since i have, first of all, a dog estonian hound, and hounds, they hunt fur

animals, this is a hare, a fox, so of course i try to go hunting in the winter, for a hare, if there is a fox, well, well... so of course there were roe deer, and there was a wild boar, initially nature is, of course, our home, where we live, where we work, where we create, where our creativity is, well, and of course, ecology is the most painful for me, the situation when they litter in the forest, well, i often go and just and... we go hunting to shoot so much game there , no such thing, we often come,

we are left without anything all day long, because what is important, what is important is not the result, but participation in it, there is also no such thing that you need to come there during the hunting process. as in competitions, in music competitions, it is not the victory that is important , but participation, and of course, even if we get one or two hares, then this is all, of course, standardized, the hunters' society was created in order to regulate the number of animals, for me the most important thing in life is, of course, family. friends song, these are the three things i would name, of course, i would also never miss, this health, health and peace.

i am belarusian, i am happy with this cossack land. between the forest and the fire, the hell of the past lived. i am belarusian, i am from ghana, because i call this name, and the good glory of belarus is known to the world for good reason. i am a belarusian, and i am happy that matsimov gave me, that

i can smell the songs of my relatives close by and from afar. i am belarusian, and at least i will tell you, i am. people from a tribe of submissive people and will not succumb to misfortune. the project was created with the support of the national tourism agency and the ministry of antimonopoly regulation and trade republic of belarus. when the soul pushes to move forward, and from the heart to keep up sings. stomach, and thirst for travel and adventures is, on the road you love, somewhere to eat, always, food anywhere,

belarusian cuisine is not only draniki, see for yourself, because cuisine is a reflection of the history, culture and character of the people, we will show what they eat in the west and east of our country, how they cook in the predvinye and napolesie, we are going on a journey to make a gastronomic map of belarus. today i visited slutsk and tried on a belt, which costs a fortune, tried exotic potato pancakes, a main course and dessert on one plate. found slutsk beru, a legendary pear variety that made slutsk famous throughout the russian empire, and prepared a truly royal dish, stuffed ositra. they say that

the sluch river used to be wide and navigable, and was part of the route of the izvoryak to the greeks, well, the city of slutsk itself was naturally located at the crossroads of trade routes, so it was very beautiful and very rich. slutsk is located hundreds of kilometers south of minsk. now it is a quiet a cozy city, but don't be fooled by its appearance. the history of lutsk is rich in all sorts of events and confirmation of this can be found throughout the city, starting with the school founded by janusz rodivil, ending with the world-famous sludsky belts. the sludsky belt is a national relic of our country, and it is not just a symbol of ancient history, it is a modern brand of belarus. the sludsky belt is not just an item of clothing, but a real work of art, which was depicted in paintings and praised in poems. remember the classics belarusian literature poems by maxim bogdanovich with lutsk weavers? well, this

is not entirely true. in ancient times , only men had the right to weave sludskie belts. and here is confirmation of my words. note that there is a man at the loom. there is a reasonable justification for this. the work was physically very hard and one had to have remarkable endurance in order to weave a belt. belts were woven by hand. using the most complex technique, so that in a year two craftsmen managed to make only six belts. during the heyday of slutsk employed about fifty weavers, the same number of apprentices and weavers. of course, there were women at the manufactory, but the most they were allowed to do was wind thread onto a spindle. it was believed that if a woman touched the belts, they would fade. but now this superstition is a thing of the past. in modern production , mainly women work. if you look even into ancient history, you can see that the train has always been an integral part

of clothing and a very important accessory. it is by the belt, the material from which it is made and that, how it was tied, one could determine a person’s status. in fact, the belt in the gentry costume appeared for a reason. in the 16th century , it was popular among the aristocracy to consider themselves descendants of the sarmatians, a nomadic germanic people, and commoners to be descendants of the slavs and balts. in this way, the gentry separated themselves from the common people. and, since the sarmatians came from the east, wide silk belts from turkey and persia were in great demand among the gentry. at first, they were imported to the territory of the polish-lithuanian commonwealth, but later enterprising nobles decided to open own manufactory. initially , the belt manufactory was opened on the orders of the radevils outside the city, but since the best craftsmen were from slusk, it eventually moved here. in order to set up production,

a famous craftsman, jan madzharsky, was invited, with whom an agreement was concluded that he would teach his craft to local craftsmen. in approximately such a room, in the semi-darkness of candlelight , the weavers worked 16 hours a day, they had to rest and even have a snack without break from production. at first , weavers from abroad worked at the sludskoy manufactory, therefore. the first belts were made with oriental patterns, but soon local workers mastered the craft and began to use local motifs in the ornament. the pattern from the ludskoy belt was never repeated, it was a one-off, exclusive product. by the way, the got manufactory produced no more than 200 belts. it is interesting that the patterns for the belt were specially developed by artists. the kachi were only the executors of the plan. the production process of the sludskoy belt was the strictest. secret and was kept in the master's head, no textbooks or manuals existed,

by the way, training in this skill lasted at least 6 years. for a long time, the technology of the quality of slutsk belts was considered lost, but in 2014 their production was revived, now the belts are made with the help of machines. surprisingly, two eras are located in one hall at once. this is what a weaving loom looked like in the times of the radivils, and this is what a weaving loom looks like: in modern slutsk. the soul of the slutsk belt is the thread. silk thread, wrapped in the finest gold wire, and with all this, look at this. the uniqueness of the process of creating a court belt has survived to this day, this machine is the only one in the world. the work is still very hard, meticulous, and the cost of a modern court belt can easily be equated to the cost of a car. creating

a belt is still a labor-intensive process. depending on the complexity of the pattern, the belt is automatically woven without stopping. several days, so workers have to monitor the work around the clock, without leaving the machine. yes, the work is difficult, but this worth it. still, sludskie belts are not just a thing, but a unique work of art. larisa is the keeper of the secrets of sludskie weaving and the owner of a real sludskie belt. yes, real? a real sludskie belt. yes. the sludskie belt was woven with this pattern. the sludskie belt has several parts, right? the main part is called the middle part, it consists of transverse monochromatic stripes or stripes with an ornament, along the sides of the belt there is a narrow border with a plant ornament, the ends are also

finished with a strip with an ornament and tassels, but the main distinguishing feature of the sluz... with friends fourth, and how did they tie the sluz belt? the belt was tied in such a way that it had no knots, it was either wrapped or twisted so that the belt would last as long as possible, it is clear why one belt contained about 200 g of pure gold for one train you could easily buy a village, even with serfs, so i can’t deny myself

the pleasure of trying on a belt to feel like a real nobleman, and... note that with all the enormous length of the belt in tied up , only half of the head works for the public, and only the color we need. today is my holiday. and how could it be otherwise, if i was able not only to admire the beauty of the slutsk belts, but to learn so many interesting things about them. when you go to the theater, you will definitely go to the buffet, otherwise the impression of what you see will be incomplete. so after visiting the museum of slutsk belts, i decided to go to the cafe at the museum in order to drink a cup of coffee and get the proper aftertaste and you know, i caught myself thinking, after i saw how slutsk belts are made, i even began to look at a simple tablecloth differently, taking it apart thread by thread, floral motifs

decorate not only...

and therefore, in principle, i am not surprised that bananas have become part of the standard favorite belarusian draniki. despite its exoticism, the dish is prepared quite simply: cut the chicken, champignons, fry in vegetable oil, stew in cream, fry at the end and add the banana, it only needs to be lightly fried so that the banana retains its texture. in total, neutral mushrooms. and in fact, neutral meat, yes chicken, it is also so not very pronounced, cream, which gives - to all this business such a pleasant soft - taste and consistency rather, and banana. banana is sweet, it is really sweet-sweet, does it not spoil this dish? well, i make a pineapple-like kulitsa? well, yes, in principle it is logical, there is no limit to the imagination of belarusian cooks. how

to cook draniki probably knows every belarusian, so the next step is serving, it is not for nothing that they say that they meet by clothes, and see off by taste, the famous slutsk tower from drankov, that's it. so, the final touch: decorate the dish! herbs, draniki po sludski are ready. so, sludski draniki, it looks amazing, you can immediately see that it is very crispy, perfectly fried, fresh, yesterday's draniki takes on a completely different color, probably very tasty. the first sensation is that my brain explodes a little, because i see a draniki, it smells like banana. due to the temperature, the banana simply opened up and its aroma exploded. it can probably be felt for three meters around, my sense of smell was deceived by this dish, i wonder what it is like will it taste like? here is a dessert, here is a potato pancake, yes,

as a second course, so this dish reminds me more of a dessert, the sweetness is incredible, and then a very pleasant aftertaste begins and the banana in this situation perfectly complements the chicken and as a result decorates our slutsk potato pancake. these people are devoted to their country. i have everything close to me.

we have cardiac surgery departments in all regional centers, i believe that everything has been done in our country so that we are sovereign, independent, you just need

to be a real master of your land. project markov - nothing personal, watch on tv channel belarus 24. on the one hand, such absolute discipline, on the other hand, such relative, but freedom in building.

thinks about our tomorrow, we can and should be sure that everything will be fine, but do not relax in any case, the project say don't be silent, do not miss new releases on tv channel belarus 24. having refreshed myself, i go further to explore slutsk, one of the main attractions of the city is the monument to sofia slutskaya. behind the princess was an arch of three petals, which symbolize the christian church, for the benefit of which sofia worked. so that you can simply imagine the scale of medieval slutsk. previously, there were 18 orthodox churches here, but unfortunately, all of them were wooden and have not

survived to this day. once upon a time , there was a church on this site, and here stood the richest manufactories, or vice versa, to be honest, it is very difficult to figure out alone, so i decided to meet with irina. irina, hello. hello, vladimir. irina, a historian, has lived in slutsk for 22 years and probably knows where. the temple was located, where the castle stood and where the rich manufactories were. why did you meet on the bridge? it was right here, on this bridge , that the entrance to our ancient city of slutsk was. behind us now is the ancient settlement of our city, well, and stood in the form of a wooden architectural such a beautiful execution, for many, many centuries. the entrance to the city was protected by a defensive rampart and a natural

ditch.

women who created the history of our country, we have a lot of them, but slutsk can boast not only of famous personalities, its culinary history is no less rich. irina, admit it, does the city have a culinary symbol? yes, it does, it is the famous sluchskaya bera, it is a famous variety of pears. these are amazing fruits, which, according to legends and testimonies.

right under the pear now, i see that yes, this is the same sluchskaya bera, which, perhaps, saw those very bernardine monks, you know, well, of course , yes, let's hope so, but on average these trees live 80-100 years, although there is such information in our case, that in the area we encountered trees that were 150 years old, somewhere around the harvest could be collected. 300 kg of pears, what an amazing story, when you come to slutsk, remember, slutsk is first of all pear. the peak of fame of slutsk byra came in the second half of the 19th century. at that time , slutsk region became one of the largest centers of gardening. there is information that says that the ripening period of slutsk byra is the beginning of october. and here are the convoys with this pear, the convoys. just a minute, yes, they went to

the city of minsk, loaded with this pear, and from from minsk they then went to st. petersburg, moscow, and there are some.
