[00:02:27] I definitely see myself here for the [00:02:30] next five years, working here [00:02:34] is great, well, I don't know, everyone says that in the district, in the [00:02:37] village, it's hard, uninteresting, well, I [00:02:40] found it interesting. [00:02:42] 60,000 young specialists came to [00:02:46] their first jobs. 2,000, I believe that [00:02:48] this is a very good salary. In the future, one can open [00:02:52] categories, obtain new specialties, undergo training. [00:02:55] How not to lose necessary personnel, help them. [00:02:58] If we have sent [00:03:01] a target specialist, agreed with him, signed a contract, including [00:03:04] with parents, he must return and [00:03:08] work on this land, there should be no other options. [00:03:11] Preferences for those who gain professional [00:03:15] experience. This is a connection between the head and local [00:03:18] authorities, regarding housing, regarding some financial [00:03:22] bonuses, social bonuses. When life and work far [00:03:26] from the city bring joy. A big city is not [00:03:30] for us, not for me and not for my husband, we like it to be calm, quiet, [00:03:34] cozy. And the house is a full [00:03:37] cup, I like it, everything suits me, the salary is decent, they gave a new [00:03:40] house, under the control of the president, with the support of [00:03:44] the state control committee, watch it right [00:03:47] now on Belarus 1. [00:03:50] For every small town, [00:03:51] regional center, or village to live and [00:03:56] develop, it is necessary for young people to stay there. They [00:04:00] are generators of ideas, quick implementers of new solutions in various [00:04:03] spheres. Almost 60,000 young [00:04:06] specialists came to their first jobs in [00:04:09] 2026. Compulsory work is from 2 years, if [00:04:12] they studied on a budget basis, up to five, if there was a target [00:04:15] direction. At the same time, every fourth graduate this [00:04:19] year is an engineer, and 10% are [00:04:22] agricultural sector specialists and [00:04:26] medical workers. We traveled through the regions of Belarus and [00:04:29] saw how young people apply their knowledge in practice, do they want to [00:04:32] stay at their first job after [00:04:36] their compulsory work period? This is the Brest region. Alexandra [00:04:39] graduated from the State University in the regional center, [00:04:42] now works at this school [00:04:48] in the agro-town of Bolshie Matykaly, as a teacher, [00:04:51] psychologist. She got there by distribution, familiar places, [00:04:55] her small homeland, not far in the Kamenets district. [00:04:58] Yes, when I was a child, I often drove through these [00:05:02] Matykaly when we went to Brest, I always thought that... what kind of [00:05:06] school is this, I just liked it visually, and then I thought that it was not far from [00:05:09] home, there is a train here, and [00:05:13] buses run, and the city is close, so the choice [00:05:17] coincided. Alexandra says that she was met warmly, a big [00:05:19] plus was the school's activity after the main lessons, because [00:05:22] the young teacher is a participant of the republican construction [00:05:26] labor project of the All-Belarusian youth construction [00:05:30] "Patriotic Center". She also involves her students [00:05:33] in interesting work. The management supports [00:05:36] this, young specialists [00:05:40] try hard, purposeful, [00:05:43] active, always ready to help, they try to take on [00:05:46] any task, of course, it doesn't always [00:05:48] work out, but their desire is commendable, [00:05:52] they are provided with various support so that they [00:05:54] feel confident and move [00:05:58] forward. The director helped with documentation to solve [00:06:01] the housing issue. In September 2025, [00:06:04] Alexandra came to her first job [00:06:08] already in January 2026, [00:06:11] she received the long-awaited rental apartment, it was all [00:06:14] sealed, like a gift, I immediately filmed it, of course, this [00:06:17] is a large room, I have a one-room apartment, I immediately [00:06:21] looked at what the distance was, I already started thinking about how [00:06:25] to come up with everything, I still have a lot to do here, [00:06:29] something to add, this is just for the first time, with the help of [00:06:32] my parents, a kitten immediately appeared in the new [00:06:36] house, Alexandra found him almost at the entrance and [00:06:39] invited him to her home. Now the road to work takes [00:06:43] minimum time, which means more attention can be given [00:06:46] to improving her skills. This is all learning, it [00:06:50] makes me stronger, as I work as a psychologist, it's also hard, here [00:06:53] I work with children, and not only with children, I work with parents, [00:06:56] but it's experience anyway, and it's good that I have colleagues [00:07:00] who help me with that. We don't only work with children who... [00:07:04] especially since there is a step-by-step system on how to do this, this [00:07:08] is rental housing, an institute of mentorship, various [00:07:12] которые... [00:07:43] kinds of surcharges and payments to young specialists, also, [00:07:46] for example, preferential loans for the construction and purchase of housing, [00:07:49] all this works, but failures sometimes happen, [00:07:53] the committee, as it were, establishes facts, let's say, not [00:07:56] quite careful attitude of employers [00:08:00] to arriving young personnel, well, [00:08:03] such facts are established, for example, such as - providing a first job [00:08:06] not according to the qualification that the [00:08:10] young specialist received, but also a number of other, let's say, problematic [00:08:14] issues when the committee has to intervene, [00:08:17] react and, so to speak, restore [00:08:20] justice. The President of Belarus has repeatedly noted that for [00:08:23] young people to live and work in rural areas, [00:08:26] conditions must be created for this. Rental [00:08:29] housing, financial, transport provision, and so [00:08:33] on. I accepted all your [00:08:37] proposals regarding targeted higher education, [00:08:41] before you stands a man who, having graduated from [00:08:43] a humanities university, having good prospects, [00:08:47] went to the village, entered the agricultural academy, [00:08:50] graduated from it, [00:08:54] they give normal education there. I mean, if [00:08:58] we sent a target specialist, agreed with him, [00:09:00] signed a contract, including with parents, he [00:09:04] must return and work on this land, there should be [00:09:06] no other options. Mikhail Butruchuk is among those who [00:09:10] took a targeted referral, [00:09:12] studied at the Brest Medical College. Since August [00:09:16] 2025, he has been working as a doctor's assistant in [00:09:20] this outpatient clinic in the agro-town of [00:09:24] Znamenka. When I took the targeted referral, our targeted referral was for [00:09:27] the entire region, so it was not yet clear where you would go. This was decided [00:09:30] at the distribution at the end of training. I wanted to go to a district [00:09:33] closer to Brest, of course, so it happened that I ended up here. [00:09:36] The outpatient clinic had a major renovation in 2010, everything was completely redone, [00:09:40] the outpatient clinic is beautiful, I learned a little more here than in college, [00:09:42] of course, information is always updated, so you still have to study. [00:09:46] This outpatient clinic serves 1,300 people, [00:09:50] 20 to 40 people come for an appointment daily. In winter, there are more sick people, doctors receive [00:09:54] up to 60 patients, their cards are quickly found. [00:09:57] Then I got married, built a house, that's it, [00:10:01] settled here, I like it very much here, in principle, the [00:10:05] team is good, and the people are good, I like [00:10:09] the work, so I work. Mikhail, as [00:10:25] a young specialist, lives very close to the outpatient clinic in a rented [00:10:28] two-room apartment. This is a new building in the agro-town, gas [00:10:32] heating, you can always adjust the temperature [00:10:35] in the room yourself. I furnished the room to my liking, that is, the most [00:10:38] important thing is a table, a place to sleep and a wardrobe. Working hours are from [00:10:41] 8 to 17. Mikhail shows his examination room. [00:10:45] All the necessary things - a cardiograph, devices for measuring intraocular and [00:10:48] arterial pressure, a height meter and scales. I have already [00:10:52] worked for a year, two more years to go, but I plan to stay [00:10:55] longer. Good job, housing nearby. [00:10:58] This new five-story building in Shklov, including [00:11:02] for young people. apartments are already occupied by new settlers, the rest [00:11:05] are waiting for their owners. Next to the house there are excellent children's [00:11:09] sports grounds. When there are conditions to stay here, [00:11:12] then of course it's easier to stay, [00:11:14] because many, well, my parents are in [00:11:21] Shklov, and now it's even more possible, my girlfriend also lives here with her husband, in general, everyone [00:12:25] is very happy, because it's close by, so [00:12:28] to speak. My husband works at the same [00:12:32] agricultural enterprise as chief engineer, in winter and spring [00:12:36] he is responsible for preparing equipment, and... combines, [00:12:39] of which three crews are youth crews, [00:12:43] well, there are young drivers and... young [00:12:46] machine operators, that is, we have enough young people, [00:12:49] everyone is happy, and this young family in the Shklovsky district in [00:12:52] the agro-town Gorodishche has a whole rental house, [00:13:19] with a garden nearby. The house, by the way, is electric, it quickly heats [00:13:22] the rooms to the desired temperature. The Bykov [00:13:25] family are its first residents. Little Alisa [00:13:29] has somewhere to run around. The management of the agricultural organization promises to help [00:13:32] with the fence. Alexander also graduated from Gorky [00:13:36] Agricultural Academy with a targeted degree. Valeriya Vedach graduated [00:13:40] from Vitebsk Veterinary Academy, she is already thinking about new opportunities for [00:13:44] her professional growth, her management only [00:13:48] supports her. I will probably return not as a veterinarian, but as an [00:13:52] obstetrician for now. I want to try obstetrics. I want to talk [00:14:25] to the first deputy in Gorki to send me for additional [00:14:28] courses. Anyway, I have some understanding, but it's better to take courses [00:14:31] to understand this field better. [00:14:34] 62 young specialists came to work this year in [00:14:38] the Senno district of the Vitebsk region. Half of them joined [00:14:41] agricultural organizations, the rest - healthcare institutions, [00:14:45] forestry, education and [00:14:48] housing and communal services. Young specialists, this means that the [00:14:52] team continues to live, the district [00:14:58] continues to live, develops, it's always [00:15:02] great and good when young people stay, [00:15:05] over the last period. since [00:15:08] twenty-three, the retention rate was 31%, but today [00:15:11] it's 71, so what we can do, we do here [00:15:15] mentoring, and we personally track how they were received at [00:15:18] work. Therefore, yes, the head [00:15:21] of the organization today plays, I believe, a leading role in [00:15:25] retaining young specialists. [00:15:28] Ekaterina is among those who received an apartment in the new building just [00:15:31] a few months ago. [00:15:33] Now she is moving to the district center, will live next to her [00:15:37] work. For 2 years she [00:16:07] worked in the outpatient clinic, not far from here in Bogushevsk. Now, [00:16:11] at the invitation of the hospital management, she moved to Senno. This is actually one [00:16:15] medical structure. She treats children as a pediatrician, [00:16:19] says she doesn't want to lose her skills and also works [00:16:23] on diagnostic equipment, underwent training [00:16:26] and acquired new skills. She never regretted it, she went to [00:16:29] the assignment with the thought that she knew she had a job, [00:16:32] she knew that she was welcome here, that she would be accepted here, [00:16:36] that she would have support here, accordingly [00:16:39] I - did not doubt my own thoughts, [00:16:42] so I remained satisfied [00:16:46] with the fact that I stayed [00:16:49] nearby, she says she never wanted to go to a big city, it's [00:16:52] cozier here, and the hospital management immediately [00:16:56] met her halfway, if I commuted from the village here, then [00:16:59] I would be late by about an hour, I approached [00:17:02] the personnel department immediately during my last pre-diploma [00:17:06] internship here, I don't have housing here, [00:18:07] I need somewhere to live, because I come to work, and if I commute from [00:18:10] the village, I will be late, can I do that, [00:18:13] or let's find some way for me to live here... they [00:18:17] gave me an apartment immediately on the first [00:18:20] days I came here for an official job, as soon as [00:18:24] the contract started. In district centers in the countryside, there are no [00:18:28] teachers, everyone knows them by sight, greets them, approaches [00:18:30] to discuss something important and often thanks them for their help. [00:18:34] Working here is great, well, I don't know, everyone [00:18:37] says that in the district, in the village, it's hard, [00:18:41] uninteresting, well, I found it interesting all the time when [00:18:44] you come to work, you and... by the way, we installed ultrasound machines not only in [00:18:48] the central district hospital, we updated them, but also in [00:18:52] outpatient clinics, this allows us to improve [00:18:55] the accessibility and quality of medical care directly to the rural [00:18:58] population. In addition, last year we opened [00:19:01] dental prosthetics in our institution, which, unfortunately, was not there, [00:19:05] we strengthened the material and technical base [00:19:37] of dental offices, new dental units, which [00:19:40] are also not only in the central district hospital, I want to boast, from August 1 [00:19:43] the endoscopic office began its work, which... this type of assistance [00:19:46] is interesting, we received equipment [00:19:50] with the help of our colleagues from Japan, we won a [00:19:53] grant for this equipment, this unit cost more than [00:19:57] 70 thousand dollars, and now we can provide high-quality [00:20:00] and full endoscopic assistance to our population. All this [00:20:04] modernization is an important step towards our [00:20:07] patients, because they receive all the necessary assistance near [00:20:11] their home, but one equipment here cannot cope [00:20:14] even with the latest model, people must [00:20:17] work on it, where the district [00:20:21] management and direct organizations understand this, [00:20:25] they create a comfortable climate within the team and improve [00:20:28] the living conditions of young specialists, there the percentage [00:20:31] of personnel retention in rural areas only grows. [00:20:35] August of harvest is coming, along with it the time [00:20:38] for big calculations, where every ear, every grain is [00:20:42] under control, time, money, machine operators do not miss every [00:20:45] fine day, they work as a team for a common [00:20:49] result. Why are good balers generally needed? In order to [00:21:14] properly store and harvest fodder, they can [00:21:17] stand in rolls for up to 9 months. The Belarusian agro-industrial complex needs almost [00:21:21] 300 such machines per year, starting next year, [00:21:25] they promise to collect 50. At the forefront [00:21:28] the names of the harvest heroes light up, in Brest new lights [00:21:32] of import substitution. We need to decide what we will do ourselves [00:21:35] and we will develop this production of this light bulb, what [00:21:39] will we do? 4 billion dollars just for milk - this is the amount [00:21:41] of our product exports for last year, and this is not [00:21:44] the limit. What we produce in Belarus, first of all, you, [00:21:48] it's not enough, the demand [00:22:01] is colossal. The main topics in the main [00:22:04] broadcast.
