[00:00:00] I would like to go skiing in Russia again, but walking around Krasnoyarsk today,
[00:00:03] I've already frozen, because in my homeland, Zambia,
[00:00:07] it's still hot season. It's quite cold here already,
[00:00:10] I even put on a sweater, but I would still come here when winter comes. Participants of the international
[00:00:14] youth festival say: we need to visit each other more often,
[00:00:17] and it doesn't matter what you do, walk, dance or just socialize,
[00:00:21] the main thing is that in another country, you feel
[00:00:37] "Life of One's Own" from Amur Oblast is on air.
[00:01:12] We are in one of the most unique regions of our
[00:01:15] country, where ancient rock carvings coexist with
[00:01:18] advanced space technologies, untouched
[00:01:21] nature amazes with its unique beauty, and under
[00:01:25] the ground lies a treasure that ensures
[00:01:28] prosperity and stability of our country. We are in
[00:01:31] Amur Oblast. Friends, my name is Yevgeny Krivtsov, and
[00:01:35] this is the life
[00:01:36] of others.
[00:01:41] If I lived in Amur Oblast, I would become a prospector
[00:01:45] to extract what is hidden in the depths of this land. So, ladies and gentlemen,
[00:01:49] in my hands is what 3,000 people
[00:01:52] come here to work for every day.
[00:01:55] This is a real
[00:01:57] pood of gold.
[00:02:54] an agronomist, an engineer or a rescuer, I would live in a region
[00:02:57] that is called the land of pioneers and conquerors
[00:03:00] of the Taiga.
[00:03:07] I don't just need gold, I need
[00:03:10] a lot, a lot of rich gold. This
[00:03:14] phrase was uttered 160 years ago by mining engineer Nikolai
[00:03:17] Onosov, who went to these places to search for Russian
[00:03:21] Eldorado. The expedition was successful.
[00:03:24] But the deposit turned out to be so rich
[00:03:27] that even today they continue to mine this precious
[00:03:31] metal.
[00:03:34] This is a buried placer, ancient, it
[00:03:37] is unique in its kind, 60 meters deep
[00:03:40] working depth. For placer deposits, this is a very
[00:03:43] serious depth, that is, there are none like it in Russia right now,
[00:03:47] I think. How long have you been digging here? Probably
[00:03:50] 30 years. Fedor Sidorov, a hereditary
[00:03:54] gold miner. His father was the head of the dredge and took his son
[00:03:58] to the mines from an early age. I had no choice, you can't get off a submarine,
[00:04:02] it's interesting what a gold miner's family discusses,
[00:04:05] the quantity of gold, the quality of gold
[00:04:08] or the process. They always talked to me about the profession, like to
[00:04:12] an adult. I would butt in with my two cents,
[00:04:15] give some
[00:04:16] advice.
[00:04:20] with a very strong flow of water, we break down
[00:04:24] the rock mass and send it further into the drum, and
[00:04:28] I must say, friends, this is perhaps the most fun
[00:04:32] activity in recent
[00:04:40] is extracted not only from quarries; this is Russia's largest
[00:04:43] dredge fleet. This floating monster,
[00:04:47] five stories high, is called a dredge, and its task is
[00:04:50] to extract gold. Let's see how it all
[00:04:53] works. These are the arms of the floating
[00:04:56] station. The buckets scoop up gold-bearing
[00:05:00] rock. Here we have the sample collection room, which
[00:05:03] is essentially the liver of this huge mechanism.
[00:05:06] The specialist is currently examining the rock, and if there is
[00:05:10] gold in it, the dredge stays in place.
[00:05:12] If there is no gold, the dredge moves on. How are we doing with
[00:05:16] the gold? Everything.
[00:05:19] And this is essentially the heart of the dredge, only instead of blood,
[00:05:22] through this setup, gold
[00:06:18] here on shifts and live in a special camp near
[00:06:21] the mine. They come for at least a month, and so that
[00:06:24] the days of separation from family away from home seem easier,
[00:06:28] the shift camp was made as comfortable as possible. There's
[00:06:32] a bakery, billiards, a gym, but there's also
[00:06:35] something very unusual. A catamaran for active walks
[00:06:39] on its own lake.
[00:06:42] shrubs with wild
[00:06:44] berries, oh my, how
[00:06:48] delicious,
[00:06:50] well, and of course, comfortable housing with all
[00:06:53] amenities. How to get such
[00:06:56] housing not with a mortgage, but simply for personal use? You have
[00:07:00] to earn it, with gold, pay with gold, you have to
[00:07:04] complete something, come here with some specialty,
[00:07:08] get a job, please, you'll have currants.
[00:07:12] Raspberries, honeysuckle, and housing.
[00:07:16] Igor Razuvayev, head of the site, once came to these
[00:07:20] places for a shift and has been working here for 30 years. How
[00:07:23] long does a shift usually last? We mainly do a month on,
[00:07:27] 15 days off. And how is everything arranged inside
[00:07:30] the housing? The housing,
[00:07:32] well, four beds. Uh-huh. But two people live
[00:07:36] together, because of the work schedule. Yes, a month on, 15 days off,
[00:07:40] everyone has their own bunk. Washbasin, hot
[00:07:43] water, cold water, everything 24/7, bathhouse
[00:07:46] 24/7, you can go at 3 AM, you can go at 2 AM, you can go in the morning,
[00:07:49] whenever you want, because people work, it's
[00:07:53] well, 12 on, 12 off. Gold is the main
[00:07:56] treasure here, but to extract it and bring it to the mainland,
[00:08:00] a road was
[00:08:01] needed.
[00:08:07] in 1974, directly from the Kremlin Palace
[00:08:11] of Congresses, here to...
[00:09:12] it's simply indescribable, many builders came here, people came,
[00:09:15] that is, to help with the construction work, and naturally, this
[00:09:18] contributed to the development of the city, the growth of the number of people here, that is,
[00:09:22] new points, because some came with their wives, some with their whole families
[00:09:26] came here. Galina Yagupova, meteorologist at
[00:09:29] Tynda Airport. The safety of hundreds
[00:09:33] of people every day depends on the accuracy of her
[00:09:37] forecasts. We need to work faster, rain
[00:09:40] and thunderstorms are expected. Large cities and republics
[00:09:43] of the USSR took patronage over different sections of the All-Union
[00:09:47] construction project. Tynda was assigned to Muscovites, and the spirit of Moscow is still
[00:09:51] felt here. Galina, we are now on
[00:09:55] Arbat, but this is the BAM Arbat, why is everything
[00:09:58] BAM? We have many such symbolic places that are called
[00:10:02] or have an addendum that it is BAM, BAM.
[00:10:05] The local Arbat is not as grand as in the capital, but there is still
[00:10:09] one unique attraction here. Here it is, the bench.
[00:10:13] an electrocardiogram stretching 200 meters,
[00:10:16] considered the longest in the Amur region, but the most
[00:10:20] pleasant thing is that you can not only sit
[00:10:23] like this, but... lie down, throwing
[00:10:27] your legs up, let them rest after a long
[00:10:47] you can also see Galina herself, it turns out she not only predicts
[00:10:50] the weather, but also controls fire. What must happen in your head to
[00:10:54] want?
[00:11:25] That's how she became a meteorologist, she always finds a little ray of sunshine
[00:11:28] in the clouds, well, I thought it wouldn't last
[00:11:31] long, but it turned out to be for life, yes, at
[00:11:34] least, it turned out to be for life,
[00:11:36] yes,
[00:13:14] One could say that here in Amur Oblast, I tamed
[00:13:18] fire, and it should be noted that I even
[00:13:21] avoided burns, although in principle, in this
[00:13:24] discipline, burns are a sign
[00:13:27] of coolness.
[00:13:29] BAM was built, cities grew, but the taiga remained, and people live
[00:13:33] in it who have not changed their traditions for hundreds
[00:13:36] of years. Open yourselves to a large selection, fill

[00:18:55] were inhabited by nomadic peoples, Evenks or Tungus. Science has not yet
[00:18:59] figured out where they came from, whether from
[00:19:02] Altai or Manchuria, but what is definitely
[00:19:05] known is that the Evenks mastered incredibly vast
[00:19:09] territories from the Yenisei to Kamchatka and from the Arctic
[00:19:13] Ocean to the border with China. The name
[00:19:16] Evenk translates to "those living in mountain forests." Today,
[00:19:20] most of them lead a semi-nomadic
[00:19:22] lifestyle, spending part of the year in camps and the rest of the time
[00:19:26] migrating with reindeer. These are Evenk lands, here
[00:19:30] nomads, reindeer herders, have always lived and live
[00:19:34] now. I was born here, this is
[00:19:36] definitely my native home, and
[00:19:40] this is where we really live.
[00:19:43] Dmitry and Veronika Drai, guardians of the traditions of the indigenous peoples
[00:19:46] of Amur Oblast. Veronika is the daughter of hereditary reindeer herders. She
[00:19:50] and Dmitry met in boarding school, and since then they haven't
[00:19:54] separated.
[00:19:59] Dima, he's generally considered an Evenk, he thinks in Evenki
[00:20:03] all the time, in close contact with everyone, so I don't
[00:20:06] know. consider him Russian, that's how it is, yes, no, I don't just
[00:20:10] think in Evenki, he knows hunting skills in traditional
[00:20:13] hunting and reindeer herding. He knows all about that. The family lives in
[00:20:17] the village of Ust-Urkima, from here to the district center,
[00:20:21] about 150 km, right on the border
[00:20:24] of the village is the Taiga, where the family's
[00:20:38] Well, that's it, now we can go to the camp.
[00:20:42] Larisa Vladimirovna, yes, how about in the rain, will it be
[00:20:45] okay to milk? It'll be fine. Reindeer need to be milked in the morning and evening,
[00:20:49] twice. Only the rear
[00:21:44] Evenks, and the herd was passed down from generation to generation. These are not
[00:21:47] just animals, they are part of the soul
[00:21:50] of the people.
[00:21:54] Larisa Vna, did I hear correctly that
[00:21:58] Evenks call themselves Orochi or Erechi, and
[00:22:02] that translates to reindeer people, right? Yes, Arachi,
[00:22:05] Arachi, these are reindeer people,
[00:22:08] reindeer people. Why is reindeer so important
[00:22:12] in the lives of Evenks? Well, how, it's both food
[00:22:15] and sustenance,
[00:22:18] transport. clothes and
[00:22:22] shoes were sewn from reindeer hides, costumes were made
[00:22:26] open and multi-layered, in them one could survive the harshest
[00:22:28] taiga winter,
[00:22:43] hooves, bones, these we process, and
[00:22:47] we get a protective amulet. It sounds,
[00:22:50] it jingles, this is our amulet, it wards off evil spirits,
[00:22:53] it wards off evil spirits, yes, and these are our Evenk suns, with
[00:22:57] joyful charms, joyful charms mean protection from everything
[00:23:00] external. On this costume we have
[00:23:03] an ornament, these are little men. What
[00:23:07] elements of the national costume do the taiga dwellers continue to
[00:23:10] use? Well, mainly men's vests and
[00:23:13] they sew themselves unty from sable
[00:23:17] paws, very durable unty.
[00:23:30] Therefore, the church that Veronika and Dmitry built themselves in their native village is named after
[00:23:33] the Great Martyr Eustace Placidus.
[00:23:37] He was a Roman
[00:23:40] military commander who went hunting on horseback, galloped
[00:23:44] after a deer and saw a cross in the antlers
[00:23:47] of the deer and the Lord said.
[00:23:57] many still have cults, shamanism,
[00:24:00] but I think their faith has always been Christian
[00:24:03] Orthodox. Veronika and Dmitry live in a private house,
[00:24:07] run a household, make preparations, everything homemade, from
[00:24:11] reindeer milk to jam from taiga berries.
[00:24:14] Veronika, here you go, fresh milk
[00:24:17] directly from the reindeer, more precisely. Warm, we
[00:24:20] will now prepare an Evenk dessert, it is made
[00:24:23] from reindeer milk and
[00:25:19] and now for the next course. Jellied meat from reindeer
[00:25:22] hooves. The next lot is reindeer
[00:25:26] liver. Oh, and now reindeer heart with
[00:25:30] wild onion. And so that we are completely full, we
[00:25:34] also need reindeer meat. All the dishes are
[00:25:37] on our table, all that's left is to wait for the hosts. Shall we
[00:25:41] have dinner? Yes. The Drai family has three children.
[00:25:44] The eldest is already studying in the city. The younger ones are homeschooled
[00:25:47] and help their parents. Hunting,
[00:25:50] gathering, fishing, how much do they help save the family budget?
[00:25:54] A lot, we salt, dry,
[00:25:57] and freeze mushrooms. We hunted meat for a whole year.
[00:26:00] for your family on average, how much money is spent
[00:26:05] per month, well, on groceries, let's say, we are
[00:26:09] far from the city, so it's hard to get here, and the prices here
[00:26:12] are higher, well, we spend 1100 per month.
[00:26:40] come for the fashionable digital detox, because
[00:26:44] here, at the edge of the taiga, is that very resounding silence, which
[00:26:47] in the city one can only dream of. We listened to
[00:26:50] the taiga, milked the reindeer, sat at the table. Now
[00:26:54] to another wealth of this region. Very
[00:26:57] soon, field meat will be harvested here, and I'm not
[00:27:01] kidding, that's what they call soybeans,
[00:27:05] the queen of local fields. Here it is, by the way,
[00:27:08] ripening, gaining strength and growth.
[00:27:12] It was here, 100 years ago, that the first soybean fields began
[00:27:15] to be planted, and now they are the largest in the country. Soybeans in
[00:27:19] local fields occupy 70% of the total
[00:27:22] crop rotation, but in winter it can be as low as -35
[00:27:26] degrees here. It needs to ripen before
[00:27:28] the frosts.
[00:28:02] regarding competition from China, they also grow
[00:28:06] soybeans, is our soybean different from Chinese? We do not
[00:28:09] use genetically modified varieties, our varieties
[00:28:13] are primarily of our own selection,
[00:28:16] pure, produced in
[00:28:20] Russia. Soy is called the "second bread" here; during
[00:28:23] the war, it saved many people from starvation. The beans are indeed
[00:28:27] nutritious, and now they are used to make isolate, which is
[00:28:30] pure protein.
[00:28:33] It is perfectly absorbed in digestion, and
[00:28:37] today, this protein replaces
[00:28:40] animal protein.
[00:28:43] It is also added to food
[00:28:47] products, meat products,
[00:28:50] boiled sausage, smoked sausage.
[00:28:53] Pavel Gerasimovich works at the only
[00:28:57] plant in Russia that produces soy isolate, which can change
[00:29:00] the nutrition of the future. We are currently in the wet shop, where
[00:29:04] we process white soy flakes, from which we
[00:29:08] subsequently obtain soy milk
[00:29:11] and fiber. We subject soy milk to
[00:29:15] processing and then directly obtain soy
[00:29:18] protein. The process of obtaining isolate
[00:29:21] from beans somewhat resembles medieval alchemy. To
[00:29:24] obtain a real protein bomb, soybeans are
[00:29:27] pressed, and fat, carbohydrates, and
[00:29:31] other unnecessary
[00:29:32] substances are removed.
[00:29:38] Pash, what's happening here? From here we manage the wet
[00:29:42] and dry technology workshops. What can be adjusted with
[00:29:45] the powder, roughly speaking, if it's overdried? Before
[00:29:49] drying it, we first mix it,
[00:29:52] break it down, separate
[00:29:56] it, and also grind and
[00:29:59] neutralize it. This is what soy isolate looks like,
[00:30:02] seemingly an unremarkable white powder, with no
[00:30:05] smell, and a completely neutral
[00:30:08] taste. But precisely therein lies its superpower, the fact is that if you add
[00:30:12] isolate to food products, it immediately acquires the taste qualities of that
[00:30:16] very product. It seems that soy has well adapted to these
[00:30:20] parts, but it only occupies a small part of the region's
[00:30:23] territory. 2/3 of Amur Oblast is
[00:30:26] taiga, it is incredibly beautiful and at the same time
[00:30:29] incredibly dangerous. Therefore, people should not forget that they are
[00:30:33] only guests here, and there are their own rules of conduct. Now we
[00:30:37] will meet a person who knows these rules perfectly.
[00:30:40] Anton Bosanets, former policeman and a man who
[00:30:44] taught hundreds of people not to be afraid of
[00:30:48] the forest.
[00:30:54] In the forest, you need to behave calmly, without fuss.
[00:30:57] We need a shovel, in a few
[00:31:00] cases, to dig up some root, and
[00:31:04] if we find ourselves in an extreme situation, the most important thing is not to get hypothermia,
[00:31:07] a shovel will help us in this case to build a shelter, or
[00:31:11] a dugout. with a small little
[00:32:15] least get poisoned? A handful. And to survive? First
[00:32:19] of all, we need to stay warm, hide from
[00:32:22] the rain, find clean water.
[00:32:34] In the taiga, without fire, you're nowhere, and here begins the most
[00:32:50] you can't. The Far Eastern fire-bellied toad, this is a frog
[00:32:53] that, yes, that is bright
[00:32:57] green, it is not recommended to eat it, because
[00:33:00] it secretes toxins, not
[00:34:34] we get up.
[00:34:40] That's why you better not go into the swamp alone,
[00:34:44] only with a friend.
[00:35:16] We survived, caught our breath, hung up the sign. Now
[00:35:19] it's time to rest our souls, we are going to Shambhala,
[00:35:23] it turns out there is such a place in the Amur
[00:35:24] region.
[00:35:27] Hundreds of thousands of years ago in these places a tectonic
[00:35:31] plate cracked, natural waters long eroded the fault
[00:35:34] line creating a real miracle, karst
[00:35:37] air comes out to the surface,
[00:35:41] so these caves are called breathing caves.
[00:35:45] Before, this territory was an ancient sea, now
[00:35:48] the Nizhne-Bureyskoye reservoir, which feeds the local
[00:35:51] hydroelectric power station.
[00:35:57] Tectonic processes happened here, well, what happened, happened. There is water with
[00:36:01] mineral water, a lot of salts, calcium, magnesium, etc., that
[00:36:04] is, the place is essentially unique. Our oaks are
[00:36:08] usually like this, but here they are
[00:36:11] huge.
[00:36:27] Well, let's say, to realize some of
[00:36:30] his plans, the concept was this: to give people what they
[00:36:34] lack in ordinary city life, including that very
[00:36:49] alpinist, first came here when he was building the Bureyskaya
[00:36:52] HPP, and here he built floating bridges
[00:36:56] among the rocks with his own hands. How did you do it with
[00:36:59] the help of whom and what? There's nothing
[00:37:02] complicated about it, this is not the first
[00:37:05] bridge, the first bridges were in the Altai Mountains,
[00:37:09] here it was just, so to speak, a repetition
[00:37:11] of what was learned. Regarding Shambhala. Shambhala,
[00:37:15] according to various traditions, is the entrance to another
[00:37:18] world, let's say. There are several versions of
[00:37:22] Shambhala. Shambhala is another world. Shambhala is
[00:37:25] a territory inhabited by people with superhuman abilities. I
[00:37:28] decided that I could allow myself some
[00:37:32] luxury, find a place, point it
[00:37:36] out and so on, that is, make it tangibly concrete.
[00:37:39] Now people from all over the country come to this Shambhala, to be
[00:37:43] closer to nature among the Amur rocks and hills, to reboot
[00:37:47] and hear themselves. Many people your
[00:37:49] age want peace,
[00:37:53] a TV, a couch, and warm clothes.
[00:37:58] plus or minus, and that no one bothers them too much. Why do you need all this? I probably
[00:38:02] belong to those people who can't
[00:38:04] calm down, they always have a head full of plans
[00:38:08] and so on, they don't have time for everything, they rush,
[00:38:12] sometimes they mess up and so on, that's who I am. So what's
[00:38:16] the magic of this place? Some will say it's in the
[00:38:19] spirits, some in the special history. I personally
[00:38:23] think that the special energy of this place is in
[00:38:26] nature, its power and incredible
[00:38:29] beauty. In the Amur region they say: the stars
[00:38:32] here are lower, space is closer. After Shambhala,
[00:38:36] I'm ready to believe that.
[00:38:39] Open yourself to a large choice, fill yourself with this desire,
[00:38:42] join the big electronics sale on Ozon. Up
[00:38:46] to 80% discount until October 1st.
[00:38:49] Russia. Election results
[00:38:51] 2026.
[00:38:54] Watch after the time program.
[00:43:50] think many of us have quite often seen this
[00:43:53] landscape on the two thousand-ruble banknote. Perhaps someone
[00:43:57] doesn't know where it is, voilà, and
[00:44:00] by the way, we are right in the middle of the taiga, it was
[00:44:03] here 10 years ago that the first
[00:44:06] civilian, most modern cosmodrome in Russia was opened.
[00:44:12] We are used to space being Baikonur, but now we
[00:44:16] have our own cosmodrome, Russian, Vostochny
[00:44:19] allowed us to achieve space sovereignty. This
[00:44:23] is the Angara launch complex, this is directly the facility where we
[00:44:26] deliver a space rocket, vessels are installed,
[00:44:30] its final preparation, fueling
[00:44:33] and launch are carried out. One of the most important facilities of the cosmodrome, the first
[00:44:36] launch from this launch complex was on April 11th.
[00:44:49] And in your terminology, when a rocket goes into space, it means to shoot it? We shoot it. Uh-huh. Yes, Dmitry
[00:44:53] Bolotov has been working at Vostochny for over 10 years now.
[00:44:57] At the cosmodrome, they call him the "shooter". He manages
[00:45:00] rocket launches and gives the command "key to
[00:45:03] launch."
[00:45:07] My father worked at the cosmodrome.
[00:45:40] All those testers who work at the cosmodrome, everyone is afraid of
[00:45:43] the controllers. Well, not afraid, they are probably more respected, because
[00:45:47] fear means
[00:45:48] respect.
[00:45:51] Vostochny is a unique cosmodrome, first of all, it's huge, its
[00:45:54] area is about 700 square kilometers, which corresponds to, well,
[00:45:58] let's say, Olkhon Island. And also, everything here
[00:46:01] is located under one roof, all
[00:46:04] processes from preparation to launch take
[00:46:07] place in one room. And there,
[00:46:11] the components of launch vehicles arrive, they are disassembled, we receive
[00:46:14] them from the wagons, here in this hall, the general assembly
[00:46:18] of the products is carried out, you can assemble and
[00:46:21] test. You said test, meaning a burn or
[00:46:24] what? No, we start testing the rocket, roughly
[00:46:28] speaking, simulating its flight in space, but on the ground.
[00:46:32] It is not fueled, it has a number of limitations, it is in a horizontal
[00:46:36] position. And how, wait, it's lying down, right? How do they...
[00:46:40] test these parameters, I don't know, do they put a huge fan in front of it?
[00:46:43] Pressure, a pneumatic scheme is assembled on it, an electrical
[00:46:47] scheme is assembled, and power is supplied to the board, for
[00:46:51] rocket preparation. It can take up to
[00:46:55] onto the rail track to reach the launch complex. Our
[00:46:59] electrical pneumatic schemes are assembled. The control
[00:47:03] of the transport-erector unit is carried out from our command post, which is located,
[00:47:06] it's over there in the distance. At what distance? One kilometer
[00:47:09] 100, one kilometer 100 probably underground. When
[00:47:13] the rocket launches, what are the sensations, the sound, the sound reaches, it deeply
[00:47:17] penetrates underground, a severe rocket,
[00:47:21] heavy. It
[00:47:24] leaves effectively, leaves effectively, yes, it went
[00:48:07] you a little secret, in fact, food in tubes is no longer popular in
[00:48:10] orbit, that's a thing of the past, now astronauts are more and
[00:48:14] more often using and eating freeze-dried food,
[00:48:17] however, this won't stop me from enjoying
[00:48:20] the borscht.
[00:48:24] But you know who will definitely like space food? My
[00:48:27] kids. On Ozon, by the way, there's a huge selection of space
[00:48:31] food. Here you have a cake in a tube, and French fries,
[00:48:34] nuggets. I'll order more of
[00:48:38] everything. I haven't even returned from my business trip yet, and
[00:48:41] Ozon will deliver everything quickly.
[00:48:44] Vostochny was conceived as an unmanned cosmodrome. It was designed
[00:48:48] so that the rocket would be launched into space with the participation of a minimum number of
[00:48:52] people. They want to achieve this in the coming years, but for now
[00:48:56] a large team works here. This is the calling
[00:48:59] card of the Vostochny Cosmodrome, Amur Region, a mobile service
[00:49:03] tower, 52 meters high, weighing
[00:49:06] 1,600 tons. Mobile, that is because it is capable of moving along these
[00:49:10] rails and covering the entire rocket. At the moment
[00:49:13] it is in the position, moved away to this position, it is moved away at
[00:49:17] the moment of roll-out of the launch vehicle and before the launch of the launch vehicle, the
[00:49:21] mobile tower is moved away.
[00:49:32] Nikolai Dvoryetsky, head of the launch complex, has already
[00:49:35] sent 20 rockets from Vostochny into orbit. In my
[00:49:39] childhood, many dreamed of space, I lived in
[00:49:42] an urban-type settlement, there were no
[00:49:45] aerospace clubs, nothing, and we ourselves, independently with the guys, with
[00:49:49] classmates. At the moment of launch, the Soyuz lifts itself off the support arms
[00:50:40] like hangers, they automatically swing away as
[00:50:44] soon as the rocket gains thrust. There is no other such system anywhere
[00:50:47] in the world.
[00:51:37] Amur Region was gradually developed, some
[00:51:40] roamed, some built, some laid roads, and
[00:51:44] even space roads. And today, those who are not
[00:51:47] afraid of difficulties, who can dream and look into
[00:51:50] the future, live here. A lot of people in the Amur
[00:51:53] region who will fight for something
[00:51:56] that is dear to them until
[00:51:59] the end. They think fast, they talk fast,
[00:52:02] they are open, kindness
[00:52:06] that is not yet spoiled. The people here
[00:52:08] are responsive, they will help in
[00:52:12] a difficult situation, they will always come to the rescue. All are strong,
[00:52:16] strong guys, they don't always think about
[00:52:19] profit, for them this is not an empty sound, honor,
[00:52:23] conscience. The harsh nature of the Amur region does not promise an easy life
[00:52:26] to those who were born here, taiga, mosquitoes,
[00:52:29] bears, sharp minus in winter, scorching
[00:52:33] heat in summer, but still this region... is beautiful in its own way and generously
[00:52:36] rewards for endurance and hard work those who live here,
[00:52:40] and these are resilient, reliable and very strongly
[00:52:44] connected to their small homeland
[00:56:05] at the samovar
