i have asked myself many times: where does this desire to create and give beauty come from? probably, after all, it came with me from childhood, my parents, my grandmother, they spent long evenings knitting, embroidering, knitting, this craving. it has probably been going on throughout my entire life, our ancestors did it before, 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, in what country is it located, therefore only we, the slavs, are engaged in handicrafts, which give people beauty, only... we are such

a hardworking people, in the early nineties such types of new types of cultural institutions were created, such as houses of crafts, it was the time of perestroika, a difficult time, people had nothing to eat, they stood in line with coupons, took clothes for themselves, food, but still... and that love and soul of people, it remained, and i wanted our traditions, our historical past, it was not only preserved, but also developed, without historical past, without traditions, cannot be a full-fledged nation, people cannot live without it, what are you guys embroidering today, we are embroidering beregina for the beregina holiday, which will be held in...

in 1999, in oktyabrsky, i was offered to head the state cultural institution, the oktyabrsky house of crafts, i have been its head for 25 years now, i am a patriot of my country, a patriot of my work, because i love it, guys, and what will you do here in the workshop today, with all your soul, with all your i take responsibility for what i do, and of course, i direct my team to this. in 2012, we received the status of a legal entity, we had the opportunity to involve folk craftsmen in 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 already... old masters, nosbits, who, from

personal experience, pass on the technique of making, for example, the same rushnyk, when we go on an expedition, we search our grannies. who could tell us something, she is always with us, a person always has a personal relationship to his business, she somehow leads in her own way, a little strict, but kindly, a little demanding, but in a good way, despite such modern trends, after all, the craft is very popular now, now everyone is trying to put on an embroidered shirt, walk in a straw headdress, carry on his hand... some kind of clay decoration, if it is in demand by people, then it is important. i am very glad that we have this fashion is preserved, this is what distinguishes us. i wonder what you are doing here today, today we make fakes, that's how

it is, swan. today , nine creative workshops operate in our house of crafts, seven for children and teenagers and two amateur associations. this is a talisman, which revives amulets and makes wedding attributes, and another amateur association is loop, by the way, girls, i'm already thinking, just in case, maybe someone takes it, which is engaged in charity, this association knitting lovers, women of completely different ages, professions, who knitted for premature babies, we had one problem, we had nowhere to meet, we knitted.

in the future, they warm and stimulate the nerve endings 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, herself: a native of the town of oktyabrsky, 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 native land, i was drawn here because my roots are here, my ancestors lived here, to do a good deed for my small homeland, not only to give people joy, but also to be here to captivate everyone, to involve them in the creative process, here in our small village, everyone is a brother-in-law to each other, we are here such dear people, and even if suddenly some trouble happens or help is needed, then of course everyone strives to respond, how are you, okay, okay, everything, how is your health, in every way, i am infinitely glad that i have my 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 well, our support is important to them, i, as a devoted daughter, always find a minute from my fast-paced life to help them with words and deeds, and in general i just can’t wrap my head around it when i leave my parents, elderly, infirm, unattended, it’s first of all inhumane, it’s... our filial duty to still look after them, my work is my calling, so work really doesn’t leave me, even at night, even at night, when i sometimes get up to drink water, some kind of creative thoughts, when i wake up in the morning,

then of course i build such a plan of action for the day, the top is still what...
