[00:02:51] On air "Disposition", this is Gagarin, let's go, and you don't want to
[00:02:54] mention the President's order to send undisciplined
[00:02:58] farmers to the army anymore?
[00:03:00] But it doesn't work, it turned out to be too resonant a topic,
[00:03:03] I would even say, funny in places. Those who are familiar
[00:03:07] with the Internet know how some individuals, especially former
[00:03:10] citizens, are trying to twist the head of state's instructions to their
[00:03:14] alleged advantage. They shout, "Here's proof that the army in
[00:03:17] Belarus is a punishment, not an honor!" Even comments in
[00:03:20] social networks, even from the other side, are mostly humorous,
[00:03:23] which also can't be hidden. And if you delve into the topic without
[00:03:27] political overtones... in a mundane way,
[00:03:31] then indeed, military training will only benefit
[00:03:35] loafers: a couple of weeks of physical exertion, zero alcohol,
[00:03:38] and a healthy team, if anything other than a disciplinary
[00:03:42] word is even needed. This is not to scare someone
[00:03:45] or, well, to replenish army ranks.
[00:03:49] No, if you don't want to work
[00:03:52] at this job, well, we'll test you at another
[00:03:56] job, a normal male and...
[00:04:30] training, which, well, maybe it wouldn't go exactly as planned.
[00:04:33] Unexpected inspections, by the way, also don't go as planned,
[00:04:37] thousands of men and women are called from civilian life, and there
[00:04:41] haven't been any complaints recently. By the way, about the beautiful
[00:04:44] half, in the year of the Belarusian woman, this can be called a bonus for them. Real
[00:04:48] men always return from our
[00:04:51] army. I personally witnessed an interesting scene once. About
[00:04:54] 15 years ago, in the Slonim district, people were called up from the reserve
[00:04:57] for training, one turned out to be
[00:05:00] an alcoholic. So, at the ceremony of sending
[00:05:03] servicemen home from the troops a month later, his wife
[00:05:07] came with their son, and families are always invited
[00:05:10] to such celebrations. When the son saw... his dad in military uniform
[00:05:13] being awarded something in front of the line, he burst
[00:05:16] into tears and rushed to hug his father, whom he
[00:05:19] saw for the first time as a respected, worthy person.
[00:05:23] His wife then begged the unit commander to accept her husband
[00:05:26] for contract service, poor was once again the head of a
[00:05:30] full-fledged family. So much for army training. This is not
[00:05:33] a very positive story, in fact, as it is now. However, if
[00:05:37] you approach the President's instruction with wisdom and Belarusian good nature, without
[00:05:41] overdoing it... then not only will no one get hurt, but we will also
[00:05:44] emphasize our originality, help people
[00:05:48] and provide bread, in short, what we sow, we will reap. This also applies to people,
[00:05:51] punishment has absolutely nothing to do with it, these
[00:05:55] are citizens who abused alcoholic beverages, did not show up for work,
[00:05:58] or were at the workplace in a state of
[00:06:01] alcoholic intoxication. We go directly to the
[00:06:05] farms, talk to people, explain the importance of the
[00:06:08] work they do, and warn them about the consequences
[00:06:12] that will follow if people really don't want to perform
[00:06:16] their duties normally. In this regard, the transformation of the guys who,
[00:06:20] as part of combined units, directly help
[00:06:23] farmers in the fields may also seem curious. In total, by the way,
[00:06:27] more than 100 servicemen in thirty army
[00:06:30] vehicles are now harvesting the grain. So, the urban
[00:06:34] advantages of the guys not only did not diminish, they largely set
[00:06:37] the pace for the
[00:06:38] harvest.
[00:06:42] And if, in a nutshell, we look at the question of the army at harvest or
[00:06:45] loafers in the army, then everyone would have
[00:06:49] such problems. Around us, rockets and drones are flying to
[00:06:53] bomb, factories are burning, borders are closing, weapons are being
[00:06:56] stamped out of control, people are dying. We, however, strive
[00:07:00] to avoid losses in the grain. If we are
[00:07:03] to enter battle, it is for the harvest. So, you can
[00:07:06] continue to criticize us, isn't that
[00:07:09] funny?
[00:07:24] Looking at them, you can get an incredible charge of emotions and inspiration.

[00:08:13] TV channel.
[00:08:17] Bountiful August is hot on its heels, bringing with it the time
[00:08:20] for big calculations, where every ear of grain, every
[00:08:23] kernel is under control. Time is money, machine operators
[00:08:27] don't miss a single fine day, working as a team
[00:08:31] for a common result. Why are good balers even needed,
[00:08:34] to essentially store and harvest fodder efficiently. In rolls, they
[00:08:38] can stand for up to 9 months. The Belarusian agro-industrial complex needs almost three.

[00:09:33] stage, hospitable and
