[00:00:24] facts and world-changing ideas, behind which stand [00:00:27] women of our country. At the enterprise. I came in [00:00:30] 2009, and I was only 22 [00:00:34] years old, at that moment I would never have thought or said that I [00:00:37] would become the head of the enterprise, with the arrival of Vladimirovna in production [00:00:41] she gave us the task of easing the hostess's work for [00:00:45] today, she is a scientist with a capital letter, precisely in the field [00:00:48] of economics there are very few such, whom again [00:00:51] they know, respect at the government level, at the level [00:00:54] of the presidential administration, I am a macroeconomist, that [00:00:57] is, I know the patterns. [00:03:30] O'Valle, Diderot, Rousseau and Voltaire, either the potential [00:03:33] of the white humanity is exhausted, or in the pursuit of comfort, [00:03:37] egocentrism, self-love, the fall [00:03:39] of morals, justify with the help of modern thinkers, the only [00:03:43] question arises, does this plebs drag norms, morals and moral [00:03:46] values to the bottom, and is the oecumene [00:03:50] of meanings adapting to this, or [00:03:52] vice versa, the world's legislators, trendsetters [00:03:55] from politics to art, lead people to [00:03:59] the abyss in lies, thinking, honestly... admit, this is [00:04:03] an intermediate end of history, in such periods, even in churches, apocalyptic [00:04:06] moods intensify, and Belarus continues [00:04:09] to collect new enthusiastic reviews, harvest, [00:04:13] build plans and roads, this is precisely how the power [00:04:16] and courage of the state, as a regulator, manifests itself, either [00:04:20] we follow external forces of meaning, or we set our own internal [00:04:24] stimulus, core, about the main , first of the week's events, politics without [00:04:28] ties and money, Pustovoy. [00:04:31] Fukuyama started talking about the end of history exactly when [00:04:34] we were entering a new stage of development. Independence. And [00:04:38] immediately the question of further existence. The opposition at [00:04:41] the fifth microphone, Kuropaty, coupons. And here is [00:04:44] Nadezhda Lukashenko, the first president of Belarus. By the way, [00:04:47] Fukuyama associated the end of history with the fall of communism and the victory [00:04:51] of Western liberal democracy. He said that global [00:04:55] evolution of ideologies was over. Such was the mainstream of geopolitical [00:04:58] philosophy in the circles of world architects, and ordinary people [00:05:02] appreciated it more simply, fashionable jeans on the scales [00:05:05] of preferences, outweighed the cumbersome ideology [00:05:08] of Soviet communism, nothing new, they fell for shiny [00:05:11] beads for... pilgrims, [00:05:14] everything is predictable, the philosophy of materialism, which the USSR professed, cannot [00:05:18] be the basis for a superpower, and this leads to [00:05:21] collapse. And now time has shown, capitalism cannot be [00:05:25] the basis for the planet's development. Judge for yourselves, the main code of the ideology [00:05:28] of capitalism is capital, profit, not man. The USA [00:05:32] breaks economic ties between China and Russia on the one hand, and [00:05:35] the main stronghold of the consumer society of Europe on the other. Here [00:05:39] is your world market, which regulated everything. Where [00:05:42] are the mechanisms of competition, only wild and crude force? Here is your Monroe [00:05:46] Doctrine, and the concept of Europe's own development, the push to the East, [00:05:50] the Barbarossa Doctrine, the goal of these conflicts is control of world [00:05:53] logistics corridors and trade routes, piracy [00:05:56] of the 20th century. Adam Smith's mask [00:05:59] has been thrown off. Capitalism, it is profit at any cost. And the longer [00:06:03] the capitalist system lives, monopolizes, the worse [00:06:06] its methods become. For example, Nazism became a radical form of colonialism, [00:06:10] which enlightened Europe transmitted norms [00:06:14] of behavior from the colonies. Hitler is a grotesque and unretouched [00:06:17] behavior of Europeans, knights and grenadiers, [00:06:21] as is the seed, so is the harvest, profit, hence [00:06:24] wars, climatic cataclysms. The first is [00:06:27] war, only nuclear weapons are not yet used, [00:06:30] I have experienced both nuclear and chemical and biological. [00:06:33] The second problem is ecology. You will see [00:06:37] what they have turned the planet into and how it takes revenge on us for our [00:06:40] unwise attitude towards them. And the third. uncontrollable artificial [00:06:44] intelligence, moreover, Russia is as capitalistic as the EU [00:06:48] countries, and they can't even agree within the same system, the conclusion [00:06:51] is unambiguous: this is a systemic failure of the entire capitalist [00:06:54] system, all these problems were generated by capitalism, nature [00:06:58] answers the man of capital for the merciless desire to extract all [00:07:02] the juices, like the killing of babies by Nazis in the same concentration camp Krasny [00:07:05] Bereg, capitalism is the philosophy of pedantic profit, without moral [00:07:09] boundaries, therefore humanity, Western models mentally... [00:07:12] reflects the crisis of liberal capitalism, freedom without [00:07:16] morality and consumption without responsibility, it [00:07:19] is cultivated to profit from human instincts, [00:07:22] savagery, this is obvious, abortion clinics are presented as [00:07:25] beauty salons, my body, my business, and children are seen [00:07:29] as an obstacle to normal life, world history of humanity shows, [00:07:33] the fashion for infanticide, has already destroyed more than one [00:07:36] civilization, people, signs of modernity, the fashion for [00:07:39] childlessness, debauchery, rebellion against family values. All [00:07:42] this kills the future, and the pervasive trend of gender change even [00:07:46] anthropologically destroys man. There has simply never been such [00:07:49] mass madness in the entire history of human life. This is [00:07:53] what the victory of liberal capitalism led to. These [00:07:56] plenums of Davos and Bilderberg. Lukashenko decided to oppose [00:07:59] all this madness, preserving the social [00:08:03] image of the state. He challenged not only the oligarchy. [00:08:06] Yes, the country is not for enrichment with its middle-class screen, but [00:08:09] a state of social policy standards. This is the gold [00:08:13] of the party, everything is as it should be here, the gold of the party, finally [00:08:17] found, as if not moral, socialism, not Western ideas, [00:08:21] not strategies for money, no matter how much it was devalued by the nomenklatura [00:08:25] of the late USSR, but the idea itself again raises [00:08:28] banners, intellectuals, experts, opinion leaders and politicians looked at [00:08:31] the narrative of social equality from a new [00:08:34] angle, the current communists are not Trotskyism, the essence of which [00:08:38] is random globalism, after all, people oriented towards development... [00:09:18] the Bible, the Quran, the Toghidu, this is [00:09:21] the basis of Hinduism. Izorotu is also the fourth [00:09:24] to fifth millennium BC, [00:09:27] everywhere. I discovered for myself, there is a common [00:09:30] slogan, love your neighbor as yourself. [00:09:33] Humanity has long realized that [00:09:37] only love, friendship and respect, humanism, [00:09:41] will save it. One thing is missing, the recognition that the center [00:09:45] and support of the Russian civilization, consisting of three peoples of three [00:09:48] sovereign states, is Orthodoxy, this is both a civilizational code and faith in [00:09:52] God, and not just a system of views and coordinate values. Or maybe [00:09:55] then the Bolsheviks became such new Nabuchodonosors, punishing [00:09:59] the entire church for falsehood and lies. The origins of the revolution are well [00:10:02] explained by Dostoevsky's genius in the work "The Boy at Christ's Christmas Tree." [00:10:06] And the reason for the failure of the tsarist and Soviet systems [00:10:09] is one: too monarchist and communist. And [00:10:12] capitalized. But this is not our path. Not [00:10:16] so long ago, by historical standards, they introduced, hammered in, mastered [00:10:20] an invasive ideology, Marxism. And after the collapse of trust, [00:10:23] they madly fell in love with... a true idea, again [00:10:26] an imported one, capitalism, this is such a vibe of the Lublin Union, [00:10:30] isn't our disorganization hidden in this love and admiration [00:10:33] for others, from the calendar to musical idols? We live by someone else's [00:10:37] calendar, dance to someone else's songs and support foreign [00:10:40] producers with the ruble, and at the same time want to live better and with higher quality, like [00:10:44] there, but the joke is that there wasn't always better [00:10:47] in everything, and now it's often worse, decadence in the field of ideas, [00:10:51] new, dead-end, and in the economy decline, but we are still. [00:11:25] we manage to keep the country clean, [00:11:28] here appropriate [00:11:31] inspections are needed not only to combat poaching but also those [00:11:35] who are used to littering. Given the similarity of tasks, the Ministry of Natural Resources and [00:11:39] the State Inspectorate could be combined, but the State Secretariat of the Security [00:11:42] Council did not support this initiative. The structures continue to work [00:11:46] in the previous independent format, and the State Inspectorate will expand [00:11:49] its powers to combat garbage and unauthorized dumps in [00:11:52] forests, but since we do not all learn not to litter in our [00:11:56] common home, we admire other people's views and make a mess in our homeland, [00:12:00] then apparently, people in uniform and armed not only with [00:12:03] pens and drones, like employees of the Ministry of Natural Resources, will teach [00:12:06] us faster, but I would like it to be not because of punishment, but [00:12:10] by personal desire, that Belarusians come to the temple of nature with a pure soul [00:12:14] without garbage, and leave back with a good mood and their [00:12:18] wrappers and tetrapaks, [00:12:21] this is the feeling of хозяйливость (good housekeeping), [00:12:24] and therefore responsibility before one land and future generations. Land [00:12:27] is not just a material, but a sacred value for Belarusians. In difficult times of statehood [00:12:31] formation, the country preserved collective and state farms. [00:12:35] They avoided widespread land privatization, distribution of shares. It was [00:12:38] not the time for that, even now not everyone willingly walks along the paths leading to [00:12:42] Batka's hut, then completely people without means, production and [00:12:46] money could have been bought out by foreign investors. This would have been [00:12:49] a catastrophe for the whole country. But the city is still advancing, Alexandrevich, [00:12:53] slowly. Look, with the governor, [00:12:57] without him, decisions are not made on land expropriation, [00:13:00] where it is forbidden, it is forbidden there, we need to [00:13:04] consolidate and go with construction [00:13:07] in empty places, I treat it [00:13:10] in a rustic way, I am very sorry to give up agricultural [00:13:13] land for this, this is an absolutely correct decision, because [00:13:17] well, you think together, look, the topic [00:13:21] of preserving agricultural land is not new, and this [00:13:24] is not only about expediency, but also priorities. Belarus is a country [00:13:27] of balanced development, and the president treats even [00:13:31] unproductive lands like a good хозяй (owner), therefore, instead of villas near Minsk, [00:13:34] gardens should bloom. I want to surround Minsk [00:13:38] with gardens, two fields of 30-40 hectares near Minsk [00:13:41] near the ring [00:13:42] road. [00:13:46] I bring to Minsk, you understand, so there on the spot, they grew [00:13:50] it right on the counter, are you tempting me to move to [00:13:53] Minsk? No, on the contrary, I don't [00:13:57] want to, but I'm tempted to help, [00:14:00] well, unless, okay, [00:14:03] indeed, even the most ardent political opponents of Batka will not [00:14:07] blame Lukashenko for indifference to peasants and the village, he defended [00:14:10] the state system of the agro-industrial complex, but the young storks [00:14:14] have taken flight, matured, it's time to break away from preferential [00:14:17] infantilism, otherwise they will remain lounging on the sofas of fatherly [00:14:21] care, growing up, the time comes when all newfangled terms will become the property of the most elite part [00:14:36] of humanity, [00:14:41] think about it, even now the most well-off people in Russia are hunting for peace and quiet in Belarus, agribusiness is the key to the future life [00:14:44] of the Belarusian village, the cradle of our civilization, how to ruin it, [00:14:48] the same significant, but already economic moment, food, [00:14:51] strategic export for the open Belarusian economy, moreover, the demand [00:14:55] for it is only growing, often on many markets out of competition and [00:14:59] farmers ask for land. Remember this phrase: a farmer [00:15:02] will not feed the country, but while Zhdanovichi, Kukhchitsy or [00:15:06] Snov gave the country grain, farmers conquered seasonal [00:15:09] fairs, and now confidently compete on shelves with the most [00:15:13] exotic brands in the trendiest capital hypermarkets. I had [00:15:16] Daganov, right, [00:15:19] skinny, 83 years old, fit, that's [00:15:23] how he told me. [00:15:37] credits from the Czechs, now more than 11 million tons in bunker, [00:15:41] barn or offset weight, in any case a remarkable figure, and this [00:15:45] is the merit of the state approach to the agro-industrial complex, a farmer [00:15:48] will not feed the country with bread in the most direct sense of the word, but [00:15:51] with sausages, yes, with stroganina, yes, of course, he can [00:15:55] treat you to blueberries, raspberries, apples, [00:15:58] a high-margin product, who will provide the export volume, [00:16:02] correctly, agro-industrial complexes, collective farms and meat and dairy complexes, this is to [00:16:05] say that private peasant farms can be proud of. [00:16:37] What did you agree on? We survived the wild times of land grabbing, but the demand [00:16:41] for land is not falling, a true owner will always find a purpose for it. In general, [00:16:45] the president announced this conversation with farmers, their status will be increased [00:16:49] in the country. The demand for Belarusian food in the world is huge, thanks to [00:16:52] the president's diplomacy and the quality of food products. In general, there is enough [00:16:56] work for everyone. Belarus is at such a stage of development when a good part [00:16:59] of society, a layer of entrepreneurs, has reached an intermediate [00:17:02] apogee, it is understandable that there are gray hairs from risks, [00:17:06] sleepless nights. [00:17:12] And now the state needs to find a wise [00:17:15] formula so as not to suppress initiative completely and not to fall [00:17:19] into capitalism, because there are only a couple of people like Shrup in Polesie, [00:17:22] and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, the main thing is not to offend them, [00:17:26] and meanwhile not all lands even in the floodplain [00:17:29] are plowed, involved in agricultural turnover, this floodplain is [00:17:32] 80 km, but nevertheless we mow [00:17:36] and bring it here, [00:17:45] Or maybe we should go back to open grazing of cows as before, at least [00:17:49] in such hard-to-reach marshy places, [00:17:52] is it really more expensive than buying and maintaining a whole line of [00:17:56] exclusive equipment, or will we still follow [00:17:59] invasive farming methods, it was precisely on our Belarusian [00:18:02] path that we managed to get out of the mire, and foreign life hacks [00:18:06] are good for cars [00:22:56] gladly explain to us, it really seems naive, but [00:22:59] it is very unique, and you also have something in Belarus [00:23:03] that we don't have in Russia, you have a lot of storks, your storks [00:23:07] are like chickens, they just walk everywhere, and that's really [00:23:10] pleasing. [00:23:20] Belarus, as the experience of communicating with foreigners shows, we are currently also in contact [00:23:24] with business trips, and people who come for the first time discover [00:23:28] a mysterious country for themselves, that is, they come with certain impressions, everyone [00:23:32] we talk to, they leave with admiring [00:23:35] feelings, precisely because they are impressed by how everything [00:23:39] is organized here, how processes are streamlined, of course, we need to learn a lot [00:23:42] from the industry, we will develop, we have only just begun [00:23:46] to revise this industry, but together with... [00:24:50] what places personally for you are the most captivating, perhaps, that you would personally recommend visiting? As for places, you know, I'm always [00:25:08] drawn to nature, I've said that before, so I try to spend time [00:25:11] in nature, I'm interested in discovering the Pripyat Polissya again, a very [00:25:15] important location for us, if we have the Starochanski region, it's primarily a health resort vacation, the Braslav [00:25:19] Lakes, that's... [00:25:23] such a depth of history, it's the Turov Principality, it's a land that's a thousand years old, gradually we [00:25:27] will also increase their recognition, [00:25:30] perhaps the Pripyat Polissya [00:25:33] has enormous recreational potential, but again, the tourist product needs to be properly [00:25:37] packaged, perhaps it will be precisely such a cruise vacation, we [00:25:40] know that the steamboat that is currently available is very [00:25:44] popular, very busy, namely, rafting for 3-4 [00:25:47] days down the Pripyat River and... also a signal to develop [00:25:51] infrastructure, because we will adapt to this demand, to this solvent demand, [00:25:54] and you know, I also want to mention event [00:25:57] tourism, we noted for ourselves that...
