there are such holidays that emphasize that only when a consolidated society approaches its most serious issues of building a state, only in those cases can victory be achieved, this is an obvious celebration, there is victory day or independence day, and there is a day that testifies to the fact that what was divided, it turns out, can be united from one and be such a real such destiny of a huge people, it seems to me, this is necessary yes... for several years in a row, a large-scale forum has been held at the minsk arena, there we celebrate national unity day. at a turning point in our modern history, in the twentieth year , this platform united patriots. it was here, right from the stage, that belarusians said everything they thought about those who betrayed, who fled abroad and continued to rock the country. now, on the eve of the political campaign, we see the return of some of the same technologies, but only people are different, everyone understands the price of a mistake. what has been done over these years, i have been to many. in which countries, whoever says it, these are

politicians playing, the people of many countries, in including europeans are jealous, because we are a small country that has built its own life, and the industrial block, the agricultural block, which i think is not ashamed to compete at any level, this is the most important thing, and this could not be if we did not understand each other. did not live in harmony, religions, nationalities, and were not so hardworking, because i sincerely say that the real heroes are those people who all their lives either behind the wheel of a tractor plough the land, or go all their lives in two or three shifts to one machine and make wealth not only for the whole families, and for all our people, i remember the year 1903, this is a completely different city. it is so modern, and these

people, who went through the post-war, our fathers, then the annexation and unification of western belarus, this is dear stovich, we built a new country, and especially over these 30 years, but this is a completely different country, this cannot be lost, then we will cry, for the years of independence, most of all for us belarusians, because i consider myself too...

today belarus celebrates national unity day, a holiday that symbolizes the inseparable connection of generations, the strength of spirit of the belarusian people and their tireless desire to live in their own state on their native land. it is especially significant for everyone who

feels belarusian not only by birth, but also in their soul and heart. 85 years ago , a fateful event took place and the proud "we are belarusians" sounded throughout the world from the very center of europe. it was the voice of people who had become a single nation. now forever. the belarusian people have regained the right to live on their own land, follow their traditions and independently. determine their destiny, but at the same time it is a reminder of the difficult events that had to be overcome on the way to a sovereign and independent state. for a long time, the modest inhabitant of belarusians at the crossroads of civilizations, every now and then became a testing ground for foreign wars and a place for showdowns between the powerful of this world. our houses were burned, property was robbed, lands were divided among principalities, voivodships and

provinces, people by language, faith and ideological convictions. our ancestors looked into the eyes of death more than once, but each time they rose from their knees unbowed, wiping sweat and tears flowed forward. how is this relevant today? the road to gaining their own statehood opened for belarusians at the beginning of the last century. the previous interethnic disputes ended, territorial claims were abandoned and... on january 1 , 1919, the belarusian national state was created, we were given a historic chance to build our own home, live, work and raise children in peace and harmony, to become

full-fledged masters of our own destiny, a chance. 1919. but the gravest consequences of the first world war, which was gaining momentum the civil war, the intervention of the coalition of western countries did not allow our compatriots to dream of a peaceful happy life, as is relevant today. was barely heard, perhaps because there was no unity within it, but there were those who thought only of personal gain and their own, not the people's interests. national minorities of all bridges vied with each other to appoint themselves as authorities, everyone who was eager

to govern the new state, hid behind the name of the belarusian people, the people, poor and hungry, illiterate, shod. exhausted by war and devastation, thought about how to survive, how to save yourself. this year belarus celebrates many symbolic dates: eighty-five years of historical justice, our restored unity, eightieth anniversary of the country's liberation from the nazi invaders and thirty years of the presidency. during this time, we have come a long way, there have been enough upheavals in each period of our important events, but as never before, belarusians live well. it is clear that this is not just not liked, it even bothers some, i thought about it, i'd better tell you about it, because this is very fresh news, our fugitives, who have already realized that they are not and were not

expected there, they are looking for a way out of the current situation, note, we did not expel anyone, we did not displace anyone, knowing our own...

does not discount an armed attack on belarus, exactly as the western intelligence services say, ours will fight for power here, but we understand how it happens, the rabid ones from our ranks go ahead, the next ones are not ours, we saw this in 2020, although it did not work out, they do not discount it.

america voiced the following theses: from the middle september to early november, the united states expects a significant escalation. military situation, both from moscow and kiev on the front. i want the russians to hear this, we have not yet conveyed this information to them. western intelligence agencies are talking about belarus as a possible place of escalation. it seems like a lull, but they got the message, they are leaving, they will leave, the ukrainians will not hold out there. but the americans do not need this, they need the war to continue until the last ukrainian, and even

better, russian, they need a war, and they do not need this lull that has come to the front they need an escalation, that's why they talk about belarus as a possible place for escalation of the situation, while we are not talking about the armed forces of our country entering combat...

what is life without land, without language, without culture, our ancestors experienced all this, divided in fact into two countries. for a long time we were taught, and still are, that we are people of a small country, without a clan, without a tribe, but we are no longer ashamed of our history. as part of the polish state remained only on paper. western belarus did not even have

the most relatively small autonomy. belarusian culture existed in conditions of constant struggle for survival, national schools, theaters, newspapers began to disappear. the nation was destroyed, victims of inhuman repressions.

national unity day, it is associated with the events of the twentieth year, when an attempt at rebellion occurred in the country, the upcoming political campaign causes flashbacks, everyone understands, first of all, we will be shaken by information, such a time, but symbolically, it was on this day of national unity that we launched the first information channel, now we are on the fifth button, we will resist fakes, only truthful information is here now live. we built a sovereign and independent state, for the first time in its history, not only built it, but preserved it. and

we did it. with you, including those sitting in this huge hall, through the harsh trials of time, serious losses, increasing national wealth based on the experience of previous generations, belarus has been confidently moving forward along the road of peace and creation for all 85 years. even now, when from the territories of western and southern neighbors are aimed at us.

was and remains a supporter of peace. our large-scale peace initiatives are heard from the rostrum of the united nations, at the sites of international forums, we propose for discussion the eurasian charter of diversity and multipolarity in the 21st century. this multipolarity, you know, who does not need it, but it can no longer be avoided. this multipolarity is not just knocking on the door. "it has already come to us, we will definitely find a way out of the global security crisis, since with us, our closest allies, many, many countries of our planet, it has not worked and will not work to isolate belarus, we are increasingly

heard and supported in the world."

dear friends, i said this so that you would be heard. usually in this situation they hear,

they hear in time. the questions are serious, but this does not mean that you, and those outside this room, should strain and worry. we will do everything so that there is no more war on our land, not in our generation, not in your generation, we, the older generation, are full of desire to pass on to you a peaceful, beautiful, decent land where you can live yourselves and raise their children. no drones, no long-range missiles can help them with this, i swear to you that we have something to respond with, we have something to do to make them think before moving in our

direction, if it is easier for the older generation to perceive the background of current events, then it is not always so simple with the youth: life in phones with an illusory ideal picture, substitution of values, when the material comes to the forefront, in words, loud concepts of patriotism, unity, nation i do not perceive. we will be strong if we learn to negotiate, overcome various twists and turns, conflicts, learn to understand and hear each other, then our state will undoubtedly be strong and

prosperous. civil-patriotic testing of youth, well, at the present moment in time, is worth leading in the development of our country, because without patriotically minded youth it is impossible to build a strong sovereign state, it is precisely such youth that advances, develops our country first of all, this is certainly interesting for youth. the people are peaceful, hardworking, we do not want war, we believe that the day will come when peace will reign in neighboring countries, blood brothers,

close and distant friends will live in harmony and friendship. belarus is ready to contribute to the construction of this world and do everything for this. but i have already said that belarusian peacefulness should not be understood and taken for glory.

belarusians do not need new upheavals, for those who love their country, this day is an important milestone, belarus has had many trials, we have lost everything and started from scratch, that is why

reverently. today is the day of national unity, it reminds us that no borders, no trials can break the spirit of the people, if each of us has our belarus in our hearts, we need, and now the main words for us: belarusians, for you, we need not to be ashamed to be belarusians and stop constantly looking back, either into the depths of centuries, or to the sides, we have something that unites us and makes us happy in our native land. this is the glorious heritage of our ancestors and no less bright, the achievements of our contemporaries. let's protect and defend belarus. this is for us

bequeathed by ancestors, we tell our descendants about this, we say because time has chosen us. on stage there is a scattering of talents of the belarusian land, a patriotic forum, if we are united. in the songs , all is unity and love for the homeland, the beauty of the choreography, costumes and scenery reflect the historical modern artistic and spiritual features of the regions of our country and the main values ​​of the belarusian people.

lessons, the difficult twenties, no less severe thirties of the last century, the time, if so, of course, one can say, of the renaissance of the polish national idea on our belarusian lands. 90 years ago , the bereza kartuzskaya concentration camp was created, all those who disagreed with the polish regime were sent there, and this was the first concentration camp on the territory of belarus. about life without a name and surname. bisia analyst alexey ovdonin knows firsthand, he went to the modern birch to see the place where his grandfather was imprisoned. it's hard to imagine, but until september 17 , 1939, the town of bereza lived from bell to bell, the red barracks were surrounded by barbed wire, and there were loopholes with machine gunners along the perimeter. and today the road to the museum reminds us of the past, paved with hexagonal trelinka tiles, almost 90

years ago they were made by prisoners of the most athletic concentration camp in history, all orders from the police had to be carried out quickly by running, the camp set one task, to discourage any desire, any opportunity to engage in any political struggle, to break people morally. polish katy forced them to lie on their bellies and walk like ducks. the prisoners' work day began at 4:00 in the morning, and this despite the fact that they were woken up several times during the night. the prisoners were harnessed like cattle to a horse harness, forbidden to speak - for every word - a truncheon. there was an unusual silence here, and the city of bereza itself was closed, entry only by passes accompanied by a police convoy. see, here is the grandfather, yeah, here is his brother. fyodor karpyuk, a member of bereza kartuska, received a ticket to bereza kartuska twice. communist party of western belarus from

the village of shchity in the bielski district, a fighter against the health regime of pel'sudski was convicted in case 133. road, a journey to stalin, this road was paved with broken bricks and so the prisoner had to kneel, raise his hands up and crawl along this road, they forced him to sign some documents that would mark the transition to the polish side, work as an informer, grandfather did not go for

it, how many people went through the polish concentration camp, it is impossible to say, according to according to archival documents, there are about 300, a year before liberation, they began to bring here en masse... even women, the number could have grown to 10,000. all this ended on september 17 , 1939, the red army crosses the border, the liberation of western belarus begins and on the night of september 17-18, the police simply closed the gates of the camp and left it. already in the morning, the camp was opened by city residents. fyodor pavlovich korpyuk went through the great patriotic war in the partisans. he worked in grodno and remained true to his ideals until the end of his days. na. declare about some ambitions, territorial claims on our lands, so of course, our task is to stop the current polish regime so that it does not make a historical

mistake again and plunge its polish population into another adventure or... nina mozheiko, sergey matveychuk and pavel puznyakov, the first information. yes, let 's speak frankly. even today, neo-nazis are doing everything to take revenge for historical defeats. the states are actively amassing troops at the borders of the union state. in poland, they have deployed combat and special equipment of the armored brigade. 80 abrams tanks, about 130 bradley infantry fighting vehicles, as well as

hundreds of other units of equipment. the matter remains for the personnel. and a full-fledged armored brigade. will already be able to go on the offensive, there is an airfield and a railway line with a new loading/unloading station nearby, in 30 years of nato expansion to the east, similar warehouses have appeared all over europe, and there are plans to build several more. well, in parallel, the anglo-saxons are conducting endless provocative military exercises in our region. the equipment is already is located near riga, soldiers from the usa, estonia, lithuania are involved, a total of about 11 thousand people, ordinary lithuanians were warned about road closures, checkpoints and even random checks of personal vehicles. but.
