knowledge that it is not the ideals of the world revolution, not the pursuit of some ephemeral world proletarian state that is important, it is the awareness that this belarusian people has a people, who are no longer a people, who are already a nation, a higher education, yes, with their own self-awareness, with an understanding of their path in history, this belarusian nation also has a territorial core, borders that are given to us.

personally, why did we remember already in the 20th century about the need to celebrate that day of reunification, because today, that is just the young belarusian nation, which has been living as a sovereign entity for more than 30 years, has its own sovereign state and pursues its own independent policy, which the belarusian nation realized its place in the common family of nations.

not to pass from the baltic, but in any case here on the territory of the north of belarus there was a key, yes, whoever controlled this place, he received certain benefits, here we know, one of the first belarusian state entities appeared, the polotsk principality, which controlled these portages, and today, according to the international classification, there is a transport corridor here, connecting northern europe, scandinavia, the baltic, everything in general.

the coast with the black sea and through it the mediterranean, and the other direction, we know - it is from east to west or from west to east, this is the second corridor, which connects the countries of eastern, central, western europe, and gives them the opportunity to penetrate goods, people into the territory of today's russia, great russia, and through it...

we have a very large mixture of peoples, so they try to look for pure elements there, like some of our neighbors, like the germans once looked for the aryan race, like , unfortunately, our southern neighbors are now looking for

pure ukrainians there, which is also unacceptable for ukraine in principle, there was even more akahanali in terms of mixing races, peoples, languages, but belarusian. this is also the result of a long thousand-year interaction of different ethnic groups, religious groups, language groups, as a result of which there appeared, what we call belarusians today, that's why we take it for granted today, but we lacked a holiday that would show that despite our differences, despite all the differences that we have, we represent one nation, so september 17, 1939 is exactly that...

a return to the historical date of september 17 , the fault lines have been overcome, and just exactly in 1939, it allows us to look at our current situation from the position of those years, because today we too, why it was after 2020, a difficult, complicated year in belarus, that the idea arose the following year to launch this holiday, the day of national unity, because then in 2020 we were again - in general, they showed us the threats that exist, they tried to divide us again, break us apart, someone there began to look for poles who should go to poland and want to go together with the grodno region, with brescia there, someone under the events related to

the ukrainian, donetsk and lugansk people's republics, they began to say, shouldn't we go to someone in russia, maybe, there, to proclaim also the annexation, this is not an ephemeral threat, all this could be realized and a split of the country could be produced, a split primarily by people, that is, when they could quarrel on the basis of language, there pitting belarusian-speaking albanians against russian-speakers, as they did in ukraine, and on religious grounds, pitting catholics against orthodox, on a simple geographical basis, westerners against easterners, and... and all these fault lines are still visible to us, we just need to emphasize, that despite the many differences that we have, we have more in common, and belarusians are truly one people, one nation, this symbolic, of course, day

of september 17, it is clear that we do not celebrate the partition of poland, as our opponents try to say about this holiday and give arguments there, what? for what did it fight, after all, for example, in 1919 in january the belarusian soviet socialist republic was proclaimed, which 2 months later in february of the same nineteenth year united with the lithuanian ussr and the famous letbel was formed, and the lithuanian-belarusian

soviet socialist republic, that is, an independent state was proclaimed here, which was also attacked at the end of the eighteenth year. the reborn poland, that is, they came to foreign lands, they started a war with these new soviet republics, during this war they snatched away part of the territories... the poles seized these territories and then simply put them in unfavorable conditions for the paris peace, demanded that the entry of these territories into the polish state, that is, this is the return of historical justice, this is not a threat to poland, no one laid claim to ethnic polish lands, and we see that later, yes, this issue arose very often during the interaction of the allies at the beginning of the second world war and... the polish question was constantly raised by great britain, the united states, they wanted

to get stalin to resolve the polish question, but in this polish question the issue was about reviving the polish state in its ethnic territories, and the belarusian ukrainian question was closed, closed in the thirty-ninth year by, among other things, democratic people's assemblies, as they would say now, referendums, almost, yes, that is, they were held.

migly, there was an order, when the liberation campaign of the red army began on september 17, then the polish units were informed that they should not engage in military action with the soviets, only if they themselves began to act aggressively there, but try to leave points if possible, go to the ethnic polish borders, an interesting fact, in itself in fact, few people know about it, well, they know about it, but for some reason, well, it is clear that it is not advantageous for our... opponents to talk about it, if we also talk about the significance of the day from

such a historical and legal point of view, yes, all accusations that the soviet union or the bssr, as part of the soviet union, started the war against poland, they are absolutely unfounded, why? we know that on september 1, thirty-nine, when germany attacked poland, then great britain, bound by treaty obligations with the polish state, declared france war on germany and declared that germany was the aggressor, and officially declared war on it, in accordance with their treaties. almost 3 weeks later, 2.5 weeks later, on september 17, when the red army troops entered the borders of western belarus, western ukraine, neither england nor france even made an attempt to declare that this was also aggression, and did not declare war on.

that is , for some reason this point is often omitted, if the soviet union was the aggressor, then it should have been declared as such together with germany, against it it was necessary to fight, it is clear that the western countries did not want to do this, because in this way the ussr and germany would automatically become allies and everything could have gone differently, but the soviet union did not want this either, because we did not have the goal of seizing polish territories. the entire campaign that the red army conducted, it was conducted under the slogan of reunification, once,

and relatively recently, of the belarusian and russian peoples, this living memory, it was still visible to everyone, yes, everyone knew perfectly well, well, how many years had passed, 18 years had passed or 17, yes, from 1921 to thirty-nine, it was born.

and this social experiment, huge, lasting for decades, it was carried out, a lot, of course, since there were no examples, they did not know how to do it, they did a lot of things incorrectly, but they did it based on their understanding, on the understanding of that time, but the most important thing, because what they proclaimed, the soviet

union is a state of working peasants, a state of the working people, the soviet union is a socially oriented state. yes, which is based on the principles of social justice, where everyone should receive their contribution to the common cause, and in this way it was all implemented, in the ussr, in eastern belarus, all the social reforms were carried out just in these years, that is , collectivization of land took place, the creation of collective farms, and these collective farms as large collective farms were indeed economically, probably more profitable. industrialization is taking place in eastern belarus, although this is exactly what the country was divided into into two parts, this held back our industrial development here, we had very serious enterprises built and many of them worked until their last days in the light industry, food industry, woodworking industry, well

, there was a hosiery factory, unfortunately, it was closed down now... to be destroyed or seized, so here, basically , the industry developed focused on the use of local materials, local raw materials, local labor, since we have metals in there are no deposits, then large metallurgy and, accordingly, enterprises for the assembly

of automobile transport, all this appeared after the war, the second world war, the great patriotic war. but still it was a huge progress, what was built, belarus, eastern belarus, the bssr, which essentially existed precisely as eastern, central belarus, turned into one of the largest plywood producers in the soviet union, so they used our forest resources, and practically the entire soviet union was covered with this plywood, hosiery products were manufactured for the entire soviet union. and this is without western belarus, this is precisely that small piece - eastern belarus, which from twenty-first to thirty -ninth year was the soviet union, this is a crazy achievement. and what was in western belarus, yes, and poland decided to turn this territory, in fact, into an agrarian-raw materials appendage, but if on

the territory of eastern belarus collective farms were created, in which they worked, the fruits of which were used by the belarusians themselves, then in western belarus land is being distributed to the polish soldiers, the settlers, who are turning into new local lords here. then pełsudski, the then ruler of poland, a dictator, promised that he would take into account the opinion of the local population, there

were some games with the belarusian representation in the first years, for example, yes, there was a belarusian embassy club in the polish sejm, that is, deputies from belarus, there were only a few of them there, all this then simply closed, let's remember what fate befell the majority,

no serious ones were created under the poles enterprises, and they were the only ones that created sawmills, also for the export of our forest wealth, and we know that they caused

enormous damage to the beloveshskaya forest, which ended up on the territory of poland, it was mercilessly exploited, forest wealth was exported from there, although we see this, it has even reached our days, namely as a natural monument included in the unesco lists, then, of course, there was no ... memories can actually be cobbled together very many, historical facts, documents testify to something else, that the western belarus was considered as a territory for

colonization and polonization, the polish language was imposed here, belarusian schools were closed, children were transferred to polish-language education, the catholic church, which had been forgotten for 100 years, began to actively spread here.

it was a suburb, so all these things, well, they seem simple already, we talk about them many times, but we need to remind people once again, because the events, those of 1939, of course, they were caused by many reasons and there were prerequisites for 17 september thirty-nine, from the moment of the division of the artificial division of the belarusian people into two territories,

thank you to our listeners, viewers, i hope this is not the last time we meet, of course, and i say goodbye to this, all the best, take care of yourself.

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