"we do not tell dry historical facts, we immerse ourselves in the era. our iviv tatars still remember the grand duke vitovt when they pray, because he appreciated them as great warriors and invited them here to our lands so that they could help him fight, to say that it is comfortable, no, but i feel more confident, yes,

more protected, protected, it is true, artifacts from centuries of history, a real puzzle for us as time travelers. this is one of the oldest objects that are in our foundation, this is an elkapion cross, which dates back a century. today, such a cross is worn, for example, by the pope or bishops. the task of our guides is to ignite in you the desire to touch the belarusian culture personally. here. we love such receptions, and we love to meet, treat, it is already possible, of course, it is necessary, oh, it smells like, good, travel together with the belarus 24 tv channel

. i have asked myself many times: where does this desire to create and give beautiful things come from? probably, after all, it came with me from childhood, my parents, my grandmother, they have long in the evenings we would cross-stitch, embroider, knit, this craving, it has probably been going on throughout my entire life. our ancestors used to do it, now we do it. without the past there is no future, our history and cultural values, this is what shapes a person's consciousness, where he grew up, where he lives, what country he is in, therefore only we, the slavs, do handicrafts that give people beauty, only we, such a hard-working people. the beginning of the nineties

, such types of new types of cultural institutions were created, like houses of crafts, it was the time of perestroika, a difficult time, people had nothing to eat, they stood in lines with coupons, took clothes for themselves, food, but still that love and soul of people, it remained, and i wanted our traditions, our historical... past, it not only to be preserved, but also to develop, without a historical past, without traditions, there cannot be a full-fledged nation, people cannot live without it, what are you guys embroidering today, we embroider beregina for the beregina holiday, which will be held in june, in our oktyabrsky, in 1999 i was offered to head the state. cultural institution,

oktyabrsky house of crafts, i have been its leader for 25 years now, i am a patriot of my country, a patriot of my business, because i love it, guys, and what you will do here in the workshop today, with all my heart, with all my responsibility i treat what i do, and of course, i direct my team to this. in the twelfth year we ... received the status of a legal entity, we had the opportunity to involve folk craftsmen namely the village, five creative workshops, which are led by master craftsmen, because not only teach and train children in craft traditions, but we also involve old masters, nosbits, who, from personal experience, pass on the technique of making, for example, the same... the same

towel, when we go on an expedition, we look for our grannies who could tell us something, she is always with us, a person always has a personal relationship to his business, she somehow in her own way... leads a little strict, but kindly, a little demanding, but in a good way, despite such modern trends, crafts are still very popular now, now everyone is trying to put on an embroidered shirt, walk in a straw headdress, hang some kind of clay decoration on their hand, if it is in demand by people, then it is important, i am very glad that... we have such a fashion, this is what distinguishes us, i wonder what you are doing here today, today we make fakes, like this swan. today, nine people work in our craft house creative workshops, seven for children and

teenagers and two amateur associations, this is a talisman that revives talismans and makes wedding paraphernalia, and also... we had nowhere for our little ones, i, of course, turned to tatyana vasilyevna with a request to help us with this, so that we would have the opportunity to gather at our district crafts house. tatyana vasilyevna responded with pleasure, and what's more, she became our active participant. we knit

things from pure wool yarn, which later warm and stimulate the nervous the end of our premature babies. when i knit a sleeveless jacket, a hat and socks, i always think about the good, about what will help this child, this thing that i will knit with my own hands, will give him health and he will grow up to be a good and worthy person, a citizen of our country. i myself am a native of the town of oktyabrsky, i was born here, and i am proud that i live here. i was probably lucky in that when i graduated from the mogilev cultural and educational school, i had many offers to stay in mogilev, you know, i am rooted in my own, this is my native, i was drawn here

because my roots are here, my ancestors lived here, i wanted to do a good deed for my small homeland, not only to give people joy, but also to be with... to captivate everyone here, to involve them in the creative process, here in our small village, everyone is a brother-in-law to each other, we are such close people here, and even if - suddenly some trouble happens or help is needed, then of course everyone strives to respond, how are you, okay, everything is fine, how is your health, in every way. i i am infinitely glad that i have my own rear here, my own support, who i am now, i owe to my parents, they invested in me the maximum of what they could, probably, parents who love their children, who

really love their land, but there comes a time when parents become weak, old, and of course ours is important to them. i, as a devoted daughter, always find a minute from my such a fleeting life, to help them with word and deed, and in general i just can’t get my head around it when i leave their parents, the elderly, the infirm, without supervision, this is first of all inhumane, it is our - filial duty, to still look after them, my work is my calling, therefore...

and we, of course, do not slow down our development, we...
