a socio-political talk show on the eve of national unity day, we will talk about what unity of belarus is, how much over the time when... this appeared young holiday, we have learned to be united, how do we celebrate it, and most importantly, who is stopping us from being united now, if you want to join our conversation, please point your smartphone at the qr code that has now appeared at the bottom of the screen, you can write us some questions, we will definitely read them during the live broadcast, the second qr code leads to our telegram channel, where we share thoughts, including outside the broadcast. so, alena is in the studio. well, on the one hand, to the topic of the day we approached the people's unity so early, after all, there are a couple of weeks left until september 17,

we have somehow already gotten used to talking in this studio over the several years that we celebrate that the holiday is young, and new, and we are looking for forms, but at the same time, i. on exactly what we can be proud of is that we have not lost our unity. in a couple of weeks, i am sure that , including in educational institutions , this day will be celebrated, after all, for the younger generation, adults do not

need to explain it especially, here is how to make little children to inspire even here to force the wrong word, to inspire, to understand and accept, to love this holiday, here... it is necessary to think about the forms, about the formats and they work, well, first of all, ideologists olga nikolaevna, well, here is a question for you right away: what orders were given this year, i... well, i probably would not say not orders, there was immediately a request for what you would like, let's say so, therefore in any case , initially there was a request for what events you would like to hold first of all on the territory of your region, well, in in this case it is the city of minsk, maybe there are some new initiatives, proposals, we usually limit ourselves to what, well, dialogue platforms, yes, we love this phrase, we have meetings, meetings not only at enterprises, but also of course in a youth audience without... of course, but this is all good, let's say so, we don't need to wait for the day of national unity for this, what we celebrate, what it is connected with,

what historical events and so on, yes, we remind about this, no, no problem, and i think that not only of course the events of the big program in minsk arena all this begins and ends, well traditionally, of course, yes, in general, in principle , it is necessary to form this tradition, and as they say, so that it is passed on from generation to generation, let it be so. i'm not talking about that, but certainly today we want some new forms of work, because after all the word unity is a very strong word, it must be understood, probably, even deeper, not on the surface, all this in fact, not only, yes, meeting formats can also be today are different, you must agree, and we should not limit ourselves to just our region, these are interregional meetings, and indeed , topics that are relevant to today's issues can be taken as a basis... the most pressing and perhaps what we have not discussed enough yet, so

now, if i start talking, believe me, it will probably be difficult for me to stop, but you understand, it seems that after all, the concert at the minsk arena, of course, is the culmination, but you can't fit the whole country into the minsk arena, of course, in general national unity day is a holiday that should embrace everyone, not just people, not just people who are opinion leaders, who are already with each other... and i remember then we talked about what this national unity really is, right after 1920

it seemed to everyone that well, what's so unclear, we should all make peace, because those who went out into the streets with such flags, those with such flags, it's clear that those who really were for stupidity for, well, untruth lost in definitely, but on the other hand we tried to somehow survive, uniting the country, which may have looked at a certain point.

wishes. maybe they well, of course, it is necessary to do this together with the executive power, for example, for me , yes, i am still throwing mine in for the future will come true in some time, there is not enough of a serious museum,

the national liberation movement of western belarus, well, probably either in brest or in grodno, so that everyone, including citizens of poland could look there to see what the pilsudski regime was doing on our lands, i would probably like to pay more attention specifically to the heroes of that time, sergei iosipovich pritytsky.

direct relation, we haven’t come to this yet, about people, about people who by that time had yes, we have an understanding and concept of what, well, what the day of national unity is connected with, you understand, but you are right, history, it is this is one of the main historical holidays, of course it cannot be depersonalized, you understand,

only by transmitting through the face, through we can understand a specific hero of that time. symbols and heroes of this holiday, right, they need to be personified, we had grodno-azot from 1971 to 2000 named after sergei iosipovich pritytsky, we, seeing this problem, immortalized the memory of our hero and at one of the checkpoints we mounted

a memorial plaque named after this hero every year we hold a rally there and then on other state holidays.

everyone says, well, if only he hadn't spoken like that, but it seems to me that this is the very knife that cuts off unnecessary, kirillovich, a knife, a sickle on their ears of corn and so on, it's all clear, that's what it seems to me, what a problem is happening over the years, the holiday is being emasculated, here we have, oh, unity, well , we just took each other's hands and we are united, everything is fine, here we have little red men, little green, little blue, whatever, the lady has not become over us, we have the lady pro...

and again the battle continues, and lenin is ahead and so on, the seventies, what kind of battle , what kind of civil war, nothing is needed, but from year to year they talk about it, so everyone does it except us, and they want to disarm us, come on.

a month later they hit us so hard that we almost lost our statehood. aleksandr genrikhovich, i did touch on the topic of the poles here. i'll talk about the poles, but the president often

says that the poles living in belarus are our poles. our poles. yes, i 'm accumulating this, i'm listening attentively. i understand. from this position, in general, it's belarusian, that the belarusians began to celebrate september 17, they got their own back, and they're not embarrassed about it.

schoolchildren even in groups - that's different, that's it today we recalled the lesson, i literally just came from the assembly at petrevichskaya secondary school at the school of novogrudok district and there we also talked about these events, children need to be told in a different key, now as for us adults, then here the intervention should probably correspond to its word, because it is we people who are responsible today for the fact that...

let's come down here to the ground, let's come down to the people, look how many relatives live in poland, here perhaps some harshness that sometimes happens leads to the fact that our belarusians, who sometimes eat with relatives or poles who come here, should explain among themselves, look, can i now give you a very radical answer to this whole story, and why, when the poles come here, the belarusians cannot radically tell them:

yes, and i also understand that the conversation that is going on there, it is about the fact that we can normally live side by side with the poles, if the poles begin to think with their own heads, and not with the heads of the polish government, which has money somewhere there in germany, nothing we invent, we have class solidarity with the polish people, with the polish people, and these elites, the lords - these are our common enemies, that's why, by the way, they have already reached out to us.

listen, well , people take the oath everywhere, that's the only thing i can understand, maybe, as for historical perception and how they talked about september 17 throughout, let's take our sovereign years, we will not take the soviet union, i somehow don't remember that in my time, there were schoolgirls, at this event they did some special accent, well... somehow it was and was, passed, and meanwhile this is what formed us as we are, i am a person of the generation born under the red-green flag in sovereign belarus, within the borders in which it exists, and i do not understand another country, i do not accept it, and tell me who is western or eastern, i have never divided into such things, but i am sure that this knowledge

about what can be, when remember... the state spoke behind his back there was this map, what belarus was like, this will show it, well this is the first such a big bell, in my opinion, is what should be produced and should be. everywhere, in all textbooks, even from a very young age, what should make an impression on the minds of belarusians, that we should never return to this again, why and am i right that this really was not given such attention earlier in the nineties and mm is it enough now, or maybe we are going too far somewhere, are you really right in that? that at one time we forgot this holiday, but we should understand that we lived in a different time, the great patriotic war began, and there were common

borders, of course, there was no time for this, plus poland was part of the soviet union's sphere of influence, starting in 1949, in fact... we will not show how our territory was formed, half of the territory of belarus, more than 100,000 km, went to poland, this is essentially the basis of our state

today, about 4 million people, of course, we should not just show this, but reflect this problem, starting with school textbooks. ending with scientific encyclopedic publications, and again the process of presenting the material itself is important, why? because today we can broadcast the same event in absolutely different ways, absolutely different conclusions are made, in this matter, without looking back at any neighboring yes, even friendly ones. states, we must broadcast exclusively our position, which is based on national state policy in the field of history, this problem, the celebration of september 17, it is,

of course, more relevant than ever today, and so, if briefly, well, alena, maybe i disagree with you a little, that well, there was a holiday and the holiday was studied, studied, or maybe not studied. they studied it like that, they studied the soviet-polish war, they studied the attack together with hitler, that's what they called it, they said that we, together with hitler, divided poor poland, we got through it, attacked poland, we, no one said that, that there was no longer a polish government there, that we defended our lands, that we defended the jews who were there and so on further, but no one said this, they said it on the sly, they promoted it like this, that you know, not everything is so clear-cut, the soviet-polish war and so on and so forth after.

in the historical basis, this unification of western belarus with the belarusian state committed an external act, you see, this is when people, when families were reunited, the people were reunited, you see, in general, each, today, every year the celebration of the day of national unity, you know, this is like summing up such a result, i would say the year taking into account risks of all that i absolutely agree with you in meaning, but we have encountered here. with the lack of a new form, you understand, we are sometimes rightly criticized, that on may 9 we go to the monuments to our heroes of the great patriotic war, that on july 3 we go to the monuments to the fallen heroes of the great

patriotic war, there are not enough monuments on september 17, someone will also go to lay flowers, this is certainly important, because this is one of the components of our history. the army came, unfortunately, tragically, but

look, if we are talking about modern times, then of course symbols are needed, these can be , well, let's say, such concert events, when, creativity, culture, it seems to me, here we need to give the go-ahead first of all to cultural figures, because there is no order to show a united belarusian in fine art, in music, in monumental art. to embody, here they talked about the monument to people's unity on the square, well, where is it? so, what's the problem, that artists have not yet given birth to anything, well, i would like to know, for example, valentin zankovich, he has a sketch ready a large monument, our brilliant one, this is an example, well, not only, you see, we are different, i always say that this is a bit of an illusion, that we are all so united here, we have poles, and lithuanians, ukrainians, and catholics and muslims,

they say, as the cards fall, as for

attempts, yes, yes, the pole's card, well, this is a separate story, i am not very deeply immersed in this topic, so i can't say for sure, but still, especially recently, the polish state, the government, has been handing out cards left and right pole, in order to somehow give preferences to belarusian citizens so that, well, in my opinion, there is a person, this is about the form, if that's the case. and the pole's card for the very broad masses was purely like an easy instrument, they are being papered.

here is his first speech, in fact, it laid the foundation for all that political journalism that has appeared now until the twentieth year , our belarusian television journalism, it was by and large entertaining, what kind of lit up, so that this topic would arise, like let's, for example, celebrate national unity day, what kind of national unity day is this, i asked people who came to work on television, why is september 17 such and such a name, right? on the streets it exists in the west, in the east it doesn't, no one could say, no one thought about it, let's still go back to forms, forms, nikolai nikolaevich, but if we talk about the fact that here is my example with these pole cards, yes, under the brand of one, the light wrapper of one, we push through completely different deep things, after all,

when a person has learned the language, learned the history, he has somehow immersed himself a little, whether he wants it or not, and we, it seems to me, are working somewhere... straight to the point, we need to be a little more elegant , how to deal with this, with the same september 17, great, everyone knew that the film on the other side, in general, is dedicated to these events and it was heard from every iron, and a person who , in general, well, let's say, maybe, is somewhere skeptical about something, well there to, i don't know, the belarusian course, yes, to the belarusian leadership, he immediately went and he said, yeah, they made a fucking movie, it's clear what it's going to be about, he was skeptical from the start, they didn't even give the film a chance to just go to the box office, so that people would go there, like, i don't know, for a melodrama, or for a beautiful story about love, about family, and so on, and so on in many ways, and why us, and if you have

an opinion, how can we sell september 17 to the general public, why haven't we done it yet, like this? well, i think that there's no need to sell, this is already a marketing technology, here after all historical policy, historical memory, national security issues, in fact, but the fact that we need to work more subtly, to use some, well, acceptable for young people, interesting for young people formats - this is a fact, because well, really , according to the institute of sociology, the best belarusian film of all the years is brest fortress, and this is really a film that young people went to see, this film is very popular, well, it is clear that it was made with support.

we see that little by little, little by little, after all, this is the fourth year that we celebrate this holiday, yes, we are slowly moving forward, and we need to work with the youth, well, the fourth year for a holiday, in principle, on the one hand, it's not much, on the other hand, it depends on how this holiday is perceived in society, well, here's my personal opinion, yes, we very often forget that grisha began to talk about the fact that in 1939, the order for the red army to enter poland was given by stalin, they still... try to tell us that stalin is a person, well, quite such skeptical, rather strange figure in history, although i always give an example with cherchell, that there is even stranger, and for belarus stalin is a man who united two parts of the state, two, that's why there is no monument to him, then next to pritytsky, this is my personal opinion, yes i absolutely

support it, about the form, let's just take the magazine iskusstvo kino for 1931, thirty-second, thirty-third, let's see, wala, we need a set of images, images, so that we blame them, as someone else did beloved, unloved by some, soviet power, but we alone will not do anything against it , well, what did the common man understand, that ilyich was sweeping away... how great it was done, that there was no bias towards any of the historical periods, there

alexey spoke about the need to approach from a cultural point of view, and olga nikolaevna wanted, i remember, to supplement this issue, exclusively through creativity, which is what i was talking about, you understand, these are political events and spirituality, this is what needs to be reunited, i still, of course, want everything for me it's the same, how many films have been made in hollywood, i'm telling you seriously, but they only watch them. but the first question is the presentation of this film, its presentation, well, any audience needs to be prepared, no matter how you want it, they

call it that, i still said that when it is precisely designated who the customer is, then, in general, some part is immediately cut off, hollywood films in which there is ideology, it is in each one, in general, half of them are sponsored by the cia, of course. i noticed that whoever sets a goal can find subtle places by which we can be divide, it is ours, our

multi-confessionalism, our bilingualism that does not give us peace, and even among those people who consider themselves patriots, who love belarus, moral tuning forks, we already see them, in general, trying to divide us into russian-speaking, belarusian-speaking , to raise the score again, this story, if you are talking about... comrades, who are now trying to find some kind of wormhole on the wave of the fact that we seem to be uniting everything, there is someone behind them too , we discussed this topic with you at your place

on the air recently, kirillo vladimirovich, i have three or four investigations on my channel about these people personally, about these people personally who could come in and how they could come in and so on and so forth, naturally, in every country there are forces that are trying to influence other countries, naturally, we must feel this, understand and immediately stop it. moreover, you said, it seems like they were ours, so having dug around personally, you look, and where were they ours, when they were ours, there this one person in vitebsk held round tables tables with a swan, with the opposition, another one was still busy with something when they were their own, i missed something, so well, we just have to see this, watch and tell people, at least this attempt, here is what alena is saying, that you know, we seem to have a unitary country , it seems like belarusians are the overwhelming nation here, like... who live in the overwhelming majority, but at the same time we really do have poles, we have lithuanians, tatars, and as alexey says, they really can

tear apart, yes i remember the story about the creation of almost a polesian republic, so they will tear apart anyway, if we are weak, we will be weak, we will talk about good, about convergence, when we were destroyed, a ten-million soviet army stood in berlin, no one dared to peep, it would have reached the english channel in 2 hours, but we started mikhail sergeyevich, dear, love, good to... the story where they said where to shoot father today this political economy here is political economy.

at the base will be yes here is that political and spiritual component without a doubt, but believe me, with each new generation this holiday will acquire its new forms, new traditions, but the foundation will remain what we are now going to lay down, may i, excuse me, give an example about forgetting the thirty-ninth year and so on, once again for 2 thousand years the people of israel remembered before the meeting in jerusalem, a specific event of the seventieth year, the defeat and...

so, let's designate that no one is saying that the historical background and historical facts will be forgotten, no, no, this is the foundation, but we are talking about the fact that unity for us after the twentieth year, especially as a sovereign country, and especially at a time when either or we are in a very difficult position now, and for us it has acquired a completely different scale, in addition

to the fact that we remember that families united, united...

how they defended the city in thirty -nine, from that came the red , terrible ones, such as, in fact, i understand perfectly well that for sure in grodno people know polish, well, in many ways they know, yes, they can watch this film, and it is like once here on the internet, if they don't know history, well, how yes, well, it's probably difficult, and i'm very afraid that later,

when we, well, won't remember history, i'm going to vasilevskaya to... looked and understood that grodno is a polish city, well, that's why you are ideologists, to explain, to learn to understand the flow of information that.

you think that the salaries are better there, compare the real salaries there and here, look at the social sphere there and here, look at the real attitude towards belarusians and, let's say, towards ukrainians, to the eastern slavs, that we

must hush up the facts of beatings on chauvinistic grounds of russian-speaking and orthodox christians, we must fight for unity now, we remember 1939 well, but a little from a distance, we must fight for those people who...

you understand, the time will come, each of them will return to their native land, but this is impossible, you understand, we are made of this, this is our soul, understand such a national veneration.
