stands on the left bank of the western dvina, and i think you've already guessed where i am, friends, today my route is built in novopolotsk. you can get from minsk to novopolotsk directly, or with a transfer through polotsk. the fastest transport option is a car, and minibuses to novopolotsk run quite often, the distance between the cities is 250 km. with a little over hours. on its

first birthday, the future city celebrated june 7, 1958, its history began with a workers' settlement called polotsk, which was built around oil refining complex. well, when the plant was completed, the village grew and became. it is clear, it has great prospects, a few years later the village became a city and received a new name novopolotsk. now it is a young city, one of the largest industrial scientific and educational centers of belarus and they call it our oil capital. and, by the way, it was here that the first belarusian gasoline and the first belarusian polyethylene were once obtained.

of course, to learn more about the city, it is worth listening to professionals, you should look for them in museum of history and culture. by the way, the museum was created almost simultaneously with the city itself, but was recently opened after renovation. let's take a look there. vladimir, hello, good afternoon, will you give me a tour, of course, we will tell you about our novopolotsk museum, about our city, right at the entrance, guests are greeted by city planners, komsomol members who came to build the city back in 1958, their faces are not collective images, but genuine archival photos, and i want to draw your attention to the fact that this is not a collective image. these are really real

the pioneers, they were the ones who sailed here to the bank of the western dvina river on june 7, 1958, to build the city of the future, the city of dreams, and pay attention, these are the young guys who are looking at their dream, at the city of the future that they built and about which you will learn a little more today. the most recognizable feature of the museum is the model, on which the whole city is at your fingertips, houses, cars and even people, this is novopolotsk. in all the details, even small trams drive here, tiny lanterns burn at night, here you can see an interesting feature of the city: the industrial zone is located separately, in the city itself there is not a single plant or enterprise. and is it true, vladimir, that novopolotsk has the longest street? yes, indeed, the longest street in the country is molodezhnaya street, which stretches across the entire city. only prospekt molodezhnaya is longer than prospekt molodezhnaya. dependencies in

minsk, but it is still an avenue, here is a street without an end - this is definitely the pride of novopolotsk. well, in the next hall we have a wonderful opportunity to plunge into the life people who started the history of this beautiful city. and the young people of that time worked for the idea, but of course, some kind of calling was still important to them, so believe me, it was very important, you will end up in tingazet, either for a good reason, like here. or for a bad reason, so this is how information was transmitted at that time. yes, such a kind of instagram existed in the past, and the main information that has reached modern historians is personal diaries. it is thanks to them that we know how people lived guys-builders at that time. the diary starts from the first day of construction on june 7 , fifty-eighth year. i suggest you feel like a komsomol girl, a pioneer builder of that time.

usa, norway, saudi arabia, and of course, russian oil. well, and here you

see the first belarusian polyethylene, which appeared 10 years after the city was founded, that is, imagine how fast the construction of both the city and the oil refinery proceeded. it is incredible to realize that from such an inconspicuous piece material, a completely new direction for our belarusian industry began. but this, of course, is not the end of the reasons for pride for the residents of novopolotsk. it is not for nothing that their city is also called sportgrad. many novopolotsk residents have glorified not only their small homeland, but the entire country with their sporting achievements. at the european and world championships. and here , just like that, information is stored about all our olympic champions, all our winners, various european and world championships, in various sports. there is such a sport like hammer throwing. here, hold it,

with both hands, let go, don't let go, vladimir, no need, really, no need, come on now op. well, try to guess how much this costs, oh, how much does this shot weigh? and if i just take the shot myself, and so less than ten, eight, less than ten, a little more than 7 kg, well, yes, well , and another example, try to guess, what kind of swords are these for giants? this is for motoball, right, yes, in novopolotsk this kind of sport is also developing, not the most widely known, there is even a motorball team here, which... actively participates in the championships of belarus. well, friends, i have already learned a lot about the city, and now i can also arrange my future life. there is a very interesting and a little magical tradition in the museum. we keep the city bank and you know that in

belarusian ornomenology each symbol means something. yes, please, where your heart will lead you now, touch the symbol that you consider necessary. so, masha, your number is two. now we will walk together some more around the museum, and then at the end of the tour i will definitely tell you what will accompany you throughout your life. it’s even a little scary to hear what i predicted for myself there, because it should be for life. but before the end of the tour i have the opportunity to learn something else interesting. and here we have the fourth hall, which is dedicated to the social sphere, the history of our education. culture. friends, here we are offered to take a test, what i want to be when i grow up. of course, i’m a little late with this, but it ’s very interesting to find out whether my results with reality. so, look how you did not make a mistake in your profession, that is

, you do not need to re-enter anywhere, you have already chosen your group, a person-artistic image, with which i congratulate you? thank you. this is how you can learn in a museum. thank you very much and for your wishes for the excursion, and i move on,

people, which can be captured, the bear is always to the highest.

future, and i assure you, we have a future, we make a very amazing and rare product - not only in the city, but in principle in the region, because there are not many companies, who make watches, they directly make production, the approach to business, which everyone should strive for, when we release something, it is a big burden, and we need to maintain the brand, so our mood is responsible and fighting, i can say with confidence that our team is ... a team, the overall result, our common cause depends on the contribution of each, and we try to convey to

each employee that everyone is important and needed. watch the project quality mark on the belarus 24 tv channel. young, he does not remember the war, here is the microdistrict borovukha, which is located 12 km from

the city, remembers it very well. the history of the military glory of borovukha, not forgotten now. and our museum is dedicated to the history of the military glory of the microdistrict pervaya borovukha. the history here is more than 2,500 years old, and the exhibition itself is dedicated to very large-scale. historical events, starting from the war of 1612 and ending with the event of the war in afghanistan. the military glory museum is divided into two parts: this is an exposition inside the building, as well as a memorial and an open-air exhibition. many exhibits were brought to the museum concerned residents who have preserved documents and archival photos from the war. we have a part of the exhibition dedicated to the service. kupaly, the opening of the first railway, numerous military units that were on

the territory of the first braucha, including a combat helicopter regiment, a tank regiment, our paratroopers, of course, and in general the first braucha in the soviet union was not officially called the capital of all paratroopers, so the exhibition will be interesting for absolutely different visitors. khashchok. paratroopers who crashed on the first day of the war, he kabulula. on board the plane crashed into a mountain, not far from the airfield belonged to the 350th guards parachute regiment, including novopolotsk resident ivanko andrey vasilyevich. well , here in the memorial complex there is also a name. a person from our region, bulat gennady vyacheslavovich, who also

served in the airborne troops. the complex itself is four steles that symbolize memorial candles, on them are engraved the names of servicemen from different regions of the former soviet union. in 2020 , a military equipment park was opened near the museum to attract people here. well, since there were a large number of military units here, the equipment represents various branches of the armed forces, there is a command vehicle for artillery fire control and... an infantry vehicle, which was actively used during the afghan events, and a nona s self-propelled gun, which was used to support airborne troops. this is the place where people can relax and at the same time touch the history and pride of this microdistrict. k by the way, people who lived through the war still live in borovukha, and those who did not live through it

know from the stories and recollections of eyewitnesses. in addition, not far from the museum there is another. important place for borovukha, we are in a very significant place for the city of novopolovsk, this is the memorial complex zvezda, opened on may 5, 2005, this complex was opened on the site of the former camp for ordinary prisoners of war, stahlak number 354. this land remembers a lot and keeps the pain of people who have long since passed away. it is conventionally believed that on each meter. and 18 people could have been buried. the identities of the war victims who found their last refuge here are largely unknown. now, in memory of them, the memorial complex combines three objects, each of which is a symbol. firstly, the real pillbox, pillbox number 15, which participated in military operations, this is a chapel,

which was built with funds from local residents and directly, four, which symbolize 4 years of war and four fronts, inside which there is a split bowl, a symbol of the beginning of the war. together, all the memorial buildings symbolize: dot - we remember, the chapel - we believe. the memorial sign "we honor". very close to the complex there is a school building, where there used to be a barracks for patients with typhus, and a little further there is a building that belonged to the ss during the war. and all this... maybe 70 years, there are no ancient churches here and they began to build them only after the collapse of the soviet union, here is one of these young churches - this is the church of the icon of the mother of god,

unexpected joy. the beginning of the history of the temple can be considered 1994. year, when after small reconstruction services began in the building of the former laundry, then people were wary of this, they were scared by the unusual location for the church and the unconventional appearance, but gradually everything changed, the construction of the temple building itself started in 2008, shortly before the fiftieth anniversary of the city, and the parish of unexpected joy became the second in novopolotsk. on the basis of the parish there is a library, accessible to everyone, and a sunday school, and any person in a difficult life situation can come to the temple and get help.

in any weather, walks in the fresh air are a great option for relaxation, especially if you sit at the computer all day long, then you just need to switch and reboot, and for this purpose , this wonderful place, the arboretum, was created in novopolotsk. this picturesque place was laid out in 2003 along the bank of the western dvina. valuable tree species, many shrubs and different varieties of flowers were immediately planted here. friends, it is so beautiful here, i guarantee that even those who have never been here in their lives will like it here. interested in botany. flower crops are planted so that some colors are replaced by others from the earliest primroses to autumn chrysonthema. this means that almost at any time of the year, having come here, you can enjoy

fresh flowers. and now, having walked through the arboretum and inhaled the aromas, you can. look somewhere else, i found a very interesting place to diversify our vacation with you. despite the fact that novopolotsk is considered an industrial center, very creative people live here, and if you go to the local center culture, you can be surprised by their creativity, right now i'm waiting for the theater, but not a simple one, but a song theater. agree, it sounds intriguing. katerina, tell us about the song theater, honestly, i've never heard of it before, in this particular production, theater, songs. well. in general, this is a very common phenomenon in the song theater, it's just that maybe it's not always immediately obvious, yes - in general, our group, of course, was first born simply as a song ensemble, we girls got together

for fun and sang all sorts of songs, but very soon i realized that within the framework of this genre of one ensemble, well, it’s kind of cramped, and especially since i have such creative and bright team members that we decided to try to make the first production. without even understanding what it would all turn into later, and the first production was more of a song than a theatrical one, it was all built on traditional folklore in our azeri language, well, with some inclusions of words, some lines, and i realized that i really like this form, so we took it as a basis, this will probably be our eighth production, which in in this genre... there is a format of such productions, although not unique, but very original, in the case of the subotea song theatre , the plots themselves, on

which all the performances are built, add unusualness. well, yes, the specificity of our theatre is such that to a large extent, of course, i write myself i compose plays for my theatre. we have a very interesting genre, we take children's fairy tales and see what happens to the heroes after they grow up. cool. this was the first such experimental thing, a performance based on marshak's children's fairy tale the cat's house, when we made a performance for adults, all our performances have a stage direction for adults, of course, we don’t stage children’s performances, although children come and they really take this new theme very well, well, such a remake, let’s say, yes, on the theme of a classic children’s fairy tale, the audience accepted such an original idea with a bang, the next stage was presented with a performance: buratino or the golden key 28 years later, to finally answer the questions, did malvina marry buratino and what happened to alice and basilio after it ended

a fairy tale? the last performance that the audience really liked was a remake of a fairy tale by korney chukovsky. this is a fly-tsekatukha or a story about true female friendship. it is clear that very little was left of chukovsky. this is a performance written in verse, in poetic form, it is easier for actors to learn the material, especially since my actors are not professionals, amateurs, guys, of course, the plot of the original has been changed, the performance itself is filled with modern music, as a result , a very dynamic, cool production is obtained. actor your theater can be anyone, that's how you select people. yes, of course, anyone can become an actor if they want to, i have people who may have never had anything to do with it before, these are people who worked a shift at the factory and came here to the amateur group in order to get some kind of emotional release. people

come here to relax their souls, in such an atmosphere of creativity and sincere love for art, amazing talents are revealed: storekeepers, gas rescuers, machine operators, guys with enterprises naftan, the theater unites working youth up to 45 years old, there is no age limit here, there is a role for everyone, these guys do not work for money, these guys enjoy what they do, well, that's the secret, yeah, because you will see them now, they are all so different, they have such cool types, they say: katya, katya, there is such a handsome boy, take him to the theater, i say to you, handsome is not necessary, the characteristic necessary theater uses a minimum number of decorations, made from the simplest, you can say, improvised means, and...

with them controlled these guys, they stood at the top, this thing turns, they twist it, we have such rubber bands there, on which they all ended up tied, well, that is , it's cool, and the scenery we with him of course, something appears in the process, oh, well, i'm even interested to see already at least a fragment of the rehearsal itself, will show your artists something will show us, of course, slept, jesus, temporary eyes, demands us to take, oh, how the light chased after him, searched and stung and he

allowed. such drive is just incredible, you can immediately see when the actors are genuinely enjoying what they do, then the viewer enjoys it along with them. well, friends, today i got to know novopolotsk from different sides and i think it's time to finish my journey. see you in

the next city. meetings, about five years ago the word propaganda in our field for some reason was considered: almost an insult, that is, if propaganda of a healthy lifestyle or propaganda of traditional values ​​- it's kind of good, but if propaganda from tv, then this is supposedly bad. i prefer to propagate the truth, so i will say it now, what is called objective journalism in its pure form does not exist and never has existed. and the word regime, by the way, regardless of what kind of regime it is, authoritarian or dictatorial, is also a completely normal word. the honesty

of the president is difficult to... everything that modern belarus lives by today, watch on the belarus 24 tv channel, this is news from abroad, broadcasts of especially important events, live broadcasts from the field events,
