[00:02:14] What Lukashenka thinks about at night, task and
[00:02:17] nostalgia, from the height of New York skyscrapers to the depths of
[00:02:21] the country's largest reservoir, the president in Veleyka, why are you
[00:02:24] filling my airtime, a warm reception in the north of the central
[00:02:28] region, thank you.
[00:02:31] Academy of Genius, it must first and foremost be for
[00:02:35] life. At the zenith of glory, a lifelong guarantee, and for whom
[00:02:38] all these people toil, the poor things there, and he says,
[00:02:42] we come into this shop or go somewhere, and there's
[00:02:45] rottenness reported by the keyboard settler, is that normal?
[00:02:48] Europe is drying up, climate
[00:02:52] anomalies only reflect the internal state of a once global leader. The
[00:02:56] US's depleted trilingual stockpiles can never
[00:02:59] destroy ideological Iran with shells and missiles. Countries
[00:03:02] continue to form new military alliances, our closest brothers and
[00:03:06] neighbors in the territory of a single civilization kill each other,
[00:03:10] and the absurdity and falsity of this war is that it is not
[00:03:13] sacred. For the inhabitants of Bankova, it's about money, for
[00:03:17] the Ukrainian people, it's about territory, and for the Kremlin, it's not a national war, but
[00:03:20] just a proxy war. God protects Belarusians, our
[00:03:24] most terrible front is the thunderstorm front, we cope,
[00:03:27] rescuers, energy workers, communal services eliminate the consequences
[00:03:31] of the elements,
[00:03:36] and farmers harvest bread even
[00:03:38] at night.
[00:03:42] This is the beacon of our development. On the main, first
[00:03:46] events of the week, politics without ties
[00:03:48] or cuts. The harmony of the Belarusian world,
[00:03:52] well-being, harmony in the measuredness of our development
[00:03:54] model. We do everything that is needed on time, calmly, with
[00:03:58] feeling and with common sense. We introduce new ideas. There is one thing
[00:04:02] we lack. Belarusian-centricity in relation
[00:04:05] to our own. We are proud of the cleanliness of fields and streets, the quality of products,
[00:04:09] even the exemplary upbringing of the urban public and the naivety
[00:04:13] of working people. Songs are sung about this, guests of the country shoot
[00:04:16] reels and TikToks, admiring the sanctuary of our
[00:04:19] Sovietness in terms of relationships between people. In Belarus, money is not
[00:04:23] the main thing. The West, of course, has an influence, but the quality
[00:04:27] of goods and relationships is more important than superprofits. And the basis of this
[00:04:30] is not that we preserved monuments to Lenin, it's much
[00:04:34] deeper, the moral code of communism and longer
[00:04:37] than the seventy-year Soviet period. The essence is in our
[00:04:40] national character: to work, not to quarrel, not to be arrogant and
[00:04:44] impulsive, not to bring things to a fight, but to stand for our own until
[00:04:48] the last drop of blood. We would also like to remain as
[00:04:51] merciful, responsive, not to be detached from our native land, to love
[00:04:55] our own, and then to admire others, if we are completely honest.
[00:04:59] For us, the standard has always been Western Europe, the pinnacle
[00:05:02] of well-being, but their well-being is drowning in
[00:05:05] anthropological political postmodernism, and we
[00:05:08] are gradually and confidently improving the life of our country,
[00:05:11] albeit with... with the speed of a combine harvesting grain, and
[00:05:14] there are certainly more festivals now than in all of Europe,
[00:05:18] indeed, the country celebrates, on one
[00:05:20] square kilometer of Nemiga, youth dance, music for
[00:05:23] the soul, not enough of that, enjoy the splendor
[00:05:27] of church services, but festivals do not teach, or do not always teach, to love
[00:05:30] your own, you start to appreciate through sweat, or
[00:05:34] worse, but now our media policy is not to frighten
[00:05:38] Belarusians with threats, let them rejoice, clap, have fun
[00:05:41] calmly. But at the same time, one should not forget about
[00:05:45] gratitude to God, parents, homeland, and yes, to the authorities, every
[00:05:48] holiday has its own director, after all, to love your own, to appreciate
[00:05:52] it, otherwise it often seems that happiness abroad is sweeter,
[00:05:56] education is better, these searches for the exotic
[00:05:59] often turn into prolonged searches for oneself, and
[00:06:03] then for a normal job, how many such stories, it's a pity for
[00:06:07] your parents' money and your wasted
[00:06:10] time. In Belarus itself, there are so many universities, not just in
[00:06:14] every regional center, for any combination
[00:06:17] of scores, perhaps this is a good sign of the development of higher education and
[00:06:21] the nation's intellect, but in the marathon for higher education, we
[00:06:24] must be prepared for the fact that migrants will be needed for working
[00:06:28] professions, or will we still create our own robots for
[00:06:31] breakthrough ideas and solutions? The country will have an academy
[00:06:35] of intellectual development, this should be an applied
[00:06:39] direction, this should first and foremost be for...
[00:06:43] let it be for a certain perspective, but
[00:06:46] preferably not in the distant future, preferably
[00:06:49] that we, Vladimir Stepanovich, create something
[00:06:53] during our lifetime, we need this, well,
[00:06:57] tomorrow, we have enough talent, but the environment itself and the accumulation
[00:07:00] of the best teachers of the state and access to the most
[00:07:04] modern equipment will bear fruit, the potential of the Academy of Sciences,
[00:07:08] BSU, BSUIR, BNTU, and the doors to the new
[00:07:11] academy will be open regardless of age, educational
[00:07:14] institutions, the main thing is to have an idea and a desire for its
[00:07:17] implementation, breakthrough solutions are needed, and they are created in
[00:07:21] the synergy of different disciplines and generations, so a startup
[00:07:25] will be the graduation project. First, solving
[00:07:28] specific technological production tasks. Second
[00:07:32] and not unimportant is that today we are not
[00:07:36] implementing professional approaches to commercialization, what is at
[00:07:39] stake? Scientists, university science, acad. The
[00:08:01] president supported the idea, it should become such a breakthrough solution for the development of science
[00:08:05] and self-realization, as once, the creation of the presidential
[00:08:08] fund to support talented youth. In general, there is no need.
[00:08:12] to go to Duval University for knowledge, indeed, Belarusians are always drawn to
[00:08:16] books, the institution should become the locomotive
[00:08:19] of the entire, not only education system, but
[00:08:22] possibly, I would like
[00:08:26] to see science, and some of our applied
[00:08:28] works there, without rich natural
[00:08:32] resources, we need to
[00:08:35] invest in intellectual
[00:08:38] resources, or, as it's fashionable to say, human
[00:08:40] potential, right? Our country knows how to surprise, Veleyka,
[00:08:44] the president's working trip took place there, the road in the embrace of the forest
[00:08:48] leads to the respectable large district center of the country.
[00:08:51] Microdistricts created during the years of developed socialism, and
[00:08:54] the party organs had enough sense or not enough enthusiasm,
[00:08:58] the churches were not destroyed, a very rare 19th-century Orthodox church in
[00:09:01] honor of Mary of Egypt and a Catholic one in Neo-Romanesque
[00:09:05] style, with features of Neo-Gothic of the early 20th century. Both
[00:09:08] sacred structures compete with each other, only perhaps in whose
[00:09:12] creation story is more interesting, and so they peacefully
[00:09:15] ring on Sundays, the clock on
[00:09:19] the dome of the church bell tower shows the same time, not
[00:09:22] a Spasskaya tower, but time here has not stood still,
[00:09:25] it boils. The forest silence is permeated by an invisible ether, precisely
[00:09:29] through this point on the world map, with the help of giant antennas the height of
[00:09:32] New York skyscrapers and transmitters, encrypted
[00:09:35] signals are transmitted to submarines in the Atlantic, Indian and
[00:09:39] Pacific oceans, and radio technical reconnaissance is conducted. If
[00:09:42] you dig deeper, in the Vileyka reservoir, the largest in
[00:09:46] the country, which is not shallowing due to widespread drought, the memory
[00:09:49] of the nine flooded villages along the banks of the rivers
[00:09:53] Viliya and Iliya, and the legend of the beautiful love and
[00:09:56] swan loyalty of Stepan and Vilna, did not drown. By the way,
[00:10:00] now there are many loving families in the region, and the
[00:10:03] Filistovich couple reflects both the heights of self-sacrifice and the deep
[00:10:07] crypts of our national code. The family has
[00:10:09] 11 children and 20 hectares of land. They
[00:10:13] are grateful to our father, we are very happy to live in our
[00:10:16] country,
[00:10:19] thank you, thank you,
[00:10:21] guys,
[00:10:24] thank you. The orchestrated public communication of the first with the people became
[00:10:28] the apogee, the high point of the president's working trip to the Vileyka
[00:10:31] region, this is a classic regional trip, communication with
[00:10:34] local people, the most urgent problem is the state of the northern lands,
[00:10:38] the problem is that invasive plants spoil the picture, the alien overseas
[00:10:42] imported goldenrod brazenly seizes
[00:10:45] our lands, it's interesting, this is on ordinary fields, but on
[00:10:49] the mental field, do foreign narratives behave differently,
[00:10:52] these fields will be plowed over, they will return to...
[00:11:25] the pole of humanitarian sovereignty, will we be able to loosen this
[00:11:28] soil of the hearts and minds of our society, to eradicate invasive
[00:11:32] ideas of foreign development models, who will do this,
[00:11:35] because often working with society in the ideological field, we talk about
[00:11:39] material, political things, not noticing that everything is
[00:11:42] interconnected with the sacred realm of perceiving one's
[00:11:46] self, because even hardened materialists did not disdain
[00:11:49] ideological charging, about the system we lost, the president
[00:11:53] talks about in almost every trip, at meetings, yes, in Belarus we still
[00:11:57] went against the mainstream, sometimes modestly, sometimes shy of
[00:12:00] European darats, progressive Moscow experts, and even our
[00:12:03] own homegrown and well-fed liberals on Belarusian pastures,
[00:12:07] still did not erase from the public consciousness the concept
[00:12:10] of ideology, which forms the system and the personnel
[00:12:13] potential of the country, having worked for a very long time
[00:12:16] as president, you know this, I, like no one
[00:12:19] else, feel that this system is
[00:12:23] lacking in state governance, there is
[00:12:26] a lack of serious personnel
[00:12:29] work, no matter how hard I tried to build this
[00:12:32] vertical of power and so on, it was still
[00:12:35] a salvation for the country, it is now,
[00:12:39] but the structure is lacking,
[00:12:41] the task and nostalgia, nostalgia,
[00:12:45] and my firm conviction that we lack
[00:12:48] that system of governance, we need to start anew,
[00:12:52] to prepare this... the basis of such a strategic task is now
[00:12:55] preoccupying Lukashenka, he understands that the Belarusian model
[00:12:59] of development is unique in its content and in the time
[00:13:02] of its creation, it rests mainly on the shoulders of the first, and what will happen with
[00:13:05] the second, third, and ardent supporters and rampant
[00:13:09] opponents, all thinking people who care about the fate of Belarus and
[00:13:12] Belarusians, understand that a system is needed that is not only
[00:13:16] personalized, but also consolidated, integrated
[00:13:19] with our society, our values, our worldview, in
[00:13:22] every regional trip this
[00:13:26] becomes one of the president's main topics, as an experienced orator
[00:13:29] and manager, he studies reactions, prepares the ground, sees everything
[00:13:33] without binoculars, which they gave him at the zenith, the most important thing is that the team
[00:13:37] guarantees a lifetime warranty for this binoculars, my
[00:13:41] life, no, the life of the product, how long
[00:13:44] it will be in operation, they never here produced every third camera in
[00:13:48] the union, now optics, this is just one district, one project, and
[00:13:52] maybe they will master hydraulics at one of these
[00:13:57] enterprises, the main thing is discipline, executive and labor. By the way, there are credit resources in the budget,
[00:14:01] this is the wrong economic model, but you need to spend
[00:14:04] wisely, we reoriented in time, it wasn't
[00:14:07] us who destroyed the union, but we had to react to save enterprises
[00:14:11] and jobs, now we are forced to fix the consequences of others'
[00:14:15] mistakes, competencies were preserved on the initiative
[00:14:18] of the president, now the same Belomo is known to narrow
[00:14:21] specialists all over the world, but it could have been just sold.
[00:14:25] get rid of complex assets, the president is our
[00:14:28] people's and statesman, therefore he asked market-oriented Westerners
[00:14:32] other questions, and technological sovereignty, scientific
[00:14:35] schools, and people, what about the interests of our homeland, our
[00:14:38] society, with the same philosophy of the first's attitude to trade in the village, in the city
[00:14:42] without problems, capitalists organize everything where they feel profit, and
[00:14:46] then their appetites, prices the state
[00:14:49] regulates, here in the village, the quality of even bread and
[00:14:52] the availability of all, having listened to the participants...
[00:15:25] invested considerable money in this, give a return,
[00:15:29] we will demand this from you and serve the population,
[00:15:32] if Euroopt, Eurotorg took some
[00:15:35] golden vein.
[00:15:38] They have a good business there and
[00:15:41] their profitability is over 30, or even 50, well,
[00:15:45] pick up along the way there or somewhere to the side
[00:15:49] less developed settlements and villages, but this is not
[00:15:53] humane, humanely, Belarus is a country
[00:15:56] of grain growers, not of profit, and its governor Lukashenka always serves
[00:16:00] the people, not capitalists, there is conscience, and there is
[00:16:03] expediency, expediency is a market approach, a private trader will
[00:16:06] work only on marginal territories, and the district executive committees
[00:16:10] will stop subsidizing fuel for the district consumer cooperative, but our country is
[00:16:13] a country of conscience, at least now under Lukashenka, yes,
[00:16:17] consumer cooperation is cumbersome, there is no single procurement center,
[00:16:20] structural separatism, somewhere in Raypo not always the best
[00:16:24] managers, but only acquaintances, these are such remnants of Soviet trade,
[00:16:27] but the paradox is that if I cannot break away from the daily routine
[00:16:31] with gifts for mom, then the mobile shop, even if not with
[00:16:35] a Green assortment, will come to our...
[00:16:53] And the vertical of power faces the task, with the vertical
[00:16:57] that exists, to make sure that the difference between
[00:17:01] the city and the village is maximally erased,
[00:17:04] but erased in such a way that the village is not erased.
[00:17:07] In general, trade is a question of whether it sells a lot,
[00:17:10] an oxymoron: the better we live, the more foreign products we buy,
[00:17:14] and what about ours, thanks to which the economy develops, on the other hand,
[00:17:18] we export complex products, combines, and buy
[00:17:21] all sorts of cheap goods for our country, financial and economic indicators
[00:17:25] allow us to provide acceptable credit resources
[00:17:28] to consumers, but not the ideal 4%, not PR,
[00:17:31] March, Friday, that's their own, the expected results
[00:17:35] have not yet been brought, the regulator
[00:17:38] stance, but there is not always understanding in other government institutions, one must
[00:17:41] mentally turn to one's own without discrepancies at the
[00:17:45] legislative level, and the consumer society demands imported
[00:17:49] products, either manufacturers have not learned to make better products, or
[00:17:52] we do not love our own, Russians eagerly buy our
[00:17:56] lands, and we cringe from Braslavshchina and
[00:17:59] run away to the Hague, well, not
[00:18:02] all, but there is such a tendency, Belarusians, as always,
[00:18:06] very slowly...
[00:18:37] step somewhere,
[00:18:40] here's your Belarus, your own bread, land, the embodied idea of national
[00:18:43] thinkers, and you can feel the vibe of the Brest and Lublin
[00:18:46] unions, when a slice of bread seemed thicker
[00:18:49] to a Pole, when the gentry's freedoms, how much they wanted to have abroad,
[00:18:53] in the end, because of this Westernism, we lost
[00:18:56] our proto-Belarus Grand Duchy of Lithuania, for long
[00:18:59] centuries our independence, no, now
[00:19:02] it's fine under Lukashenka, under this system of power that he built.
[00:19:05] "Belarusians are becoming Russians and Ukrainians and representatives of many countries
[00:19:09] of the global South, but this is not just a blue passport, this is our
[00:19:13] worldview, the first is loved and supported, now selfies are such an element
[00:19:16] of showing electoral support, no political technologists can
[00:19:20] form such a vibe around a politician, this is the personal charisma
[00:19:23] and popularity of Lukashenka, as during the first trip of the first to
[00:19:26] Polesie. In the south, by the way, they are also waiting for the president, and here in
[00:19:29] the north there are the same warm feelings, as a guarantor of the Belarusian path,
[00:19:33] and from different generations. On
[00:19:36] the internet they even doubted, isn't it artificial intelligence?
[00:19:40] No, this is propaganda,
[00:19:43] reality, this is the very Lukashenka whom the Eastern world
[00:19:46] applauds, and the Western world is divided into two parts: those who conduct
[00:19:49] negotiations openly and those who supposedly do not recognize, but conduct
[00:19:53] negotiations through closed channels, but for us, the main thing is that under him
[00:19:57] those who are so accustomed to comfort and festivals achieved their well-being,
[00:20:00] those who criticize all this, but would not want to lose
[00:20:04] it. Even more important: that he strives for the sake of people who
[00:20:07] harvest grain in forty-degree heat and for the sake of pensioners
[00:20:11] who raised our country, and even if not in forty-degree heat,
[00:20:14] it was calmer then, but they harvested grain without
[00:20:18] air conditioners, and for the sake of youth whose future is not on foreign
[00:20:21] plantations, but in our academies
[00:20:24] of intellectual development.
