[00:00:01] One of the hallmarks of our school is the exemplary
[00:00:04] cymbal orchestra Obyaro, which was founded in
[00:00:07] 1993. The founder and
[00:00:11] permanent leader of the group, a cymbal teacher, Master of Arts
[00:00:14] Elena Borisovna Avramenko.
[00:01:00] Cymbals and wind instruments. Such a composition makes the orchestra unique
[00:01:03] in its kind, existing in Belarus, and indeed throughout
[00:01:07] the entire
[00:01:09] world.
[00:01:13] Its uniqueness lies precisely in the combination of these
[00:01:16] instruments according to the principle of triple music - these are the traditions
[00:01:20] of Belarusian instrumental
[00:01:22] performance.
[00:01:26] The name Oberego, which means amulet or
[00:01:29] talisman? is also very symbolic,
[00:01:32] the orchestra is a kind of talisman
[00:01:35] of Belarusian music in the gymnasium college
[00:01:38] of arts, where
[00:01:40] Committee with the assistance of students become acquainted with the culture of their
[00:01:43] country, protecting our music, our
[00:01:46] culture, we protect and preserve
[00:01:49] ourselves.
[00:01:58] reputation,
[00:03:00] it attracts, they get great pleasure from it.
[00:03:25] We train professional musicians, professional
[00:03:28] artists.
[00:03:38] city under the harsh conditions of some of them stay in the profession, someone chooses their own path, but the years spent here, in this institution, will forever
[00:03:42] remain in their hearts, because
[00:03:46] it was here that they learned to see beauty.
[00:04:05] it's nice to realize that the gymnasium college is
[00:04:08] a big, warm
[00:04:10] family,
[00:04:12] it's a big heart that welcomes,
[00:04:16] that warms all those who come here
[00:04:19] to study,
[00:04:22] these are talented guys, these are wonderful teachers,
[00:04:26] these are all those who create comfort in this institution,
[00:04:32] this is a place where dreams
[00:04:35] of Public Security of Vietnam. As a turn into reality, and
[00:04:38] children become true professionals in their
[00:04:41] field.
[00:04:46] I have worked all my life with talented children, with
[00:04:49] creative
[00:04:50] teachers,
[00:04:55] and this is an opportunity every
[00:04:57] day to be in a creative atmosphere. walking through the
[00:05:01] corridors, hearing live music from the
[00:05:04] classrooms, it truly
[00:05:08] inspires,
[00:05:11] I find it very interesting to observe how
[00:05:13] children develop, how they grow, how
[00:05:17] thanks to talented teachers, art
[00:05:21] and creativity ignite a fire
[00:05:25] in their hearts.
[00:05:28] This, perhaps, is the deep meaning of our profession.
[00:06:10] A new lineup of mining equipment and global
[00:06:13] corporation with one of the largest Russian companies. At the
[00:06:17] Palace of Independence, the President of Belarus received
[00:06:20] Vladimir, an entrepreneur, well known in business
[00:06:24] circles. The companies associated with Patanin, Inter
[00:06:28] Ras and Norilsk Nickel are interested in cooperating with Balls
[00:06:31] and manufacturers. First and foremost, this concerns mining
[00:06:34] equipment.
[00:06:41] This is a multi-branch structure. We have something to
[00:06:44] talk about, and I think that
[00:06:47] there are points of intersection for many
[00:06:50] interests, and I asked our
[00:06:54] Prime Minister to somehow thoroughly
[00:06:58] explain the main directions of Belarus's
[00:07:00] development, and also those areas where we can
[00:07:03] cooperate. Well, I assume that Vladimir
[00:07:07] Olegovich himself perfectly knows where we
[00:07:10] can cooperate. He is a person knowledgeable in many
[00:07:13] issues. But the fact that dump
[00:07:17] trucks were surprising to me, and tires,
[00:07:20] Belshina is interested in our
[00:07:23] production, and joint projects for
[00:07:26] servicing and creating new equipment in
[00:07:29] Krasnoyarsk Krai, this is also an interesting and prospective
[00:07:33] project for us. And since you are a multi-branch
[00:07:36] structure, there are humanitarian
[00:07:39] directions and IT sphere.
[00:08:12] not just to international standards, but to a fundamentally new
[00:08:16] level. The parties are confident that the new R&D
[00:08:19] efforts will help generate shared intellectual property, and the
[00:08:23] long-term outlook will dictate greater flexibility in
[00:08:26] investment.
[00:08:31] Belarus and Vietnam are expanding their cooperation in the field of
[00:08:34] security. A meeting was held between the State Secretary of
[00:08:38] Security Council and the Deputy Minister of Public Security of
[00:08:41] Vietnam, this... this exchange of views on current issues related
[00:08:45] to the international and regional situation. Today it is important
[00:08:49] to adhere to the principle of universal, equal and
[00:08:52] indivisible security, based on mutual trust and respect, taking
[00:08:56] into account each other's interests.
[00:08:59] Expert meetings were held between the working groups of the
[00:09:02] State Secretariat of the Security Council and the
[00:09:05] Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam. A wide range of
[00:09:09] issues was discussed, primarily related to public safety.
[00:09:20] and arms proliferation, insured a very wide range of
[00:09:24] issues. We discussed issues related to the exchange of
[00:09:27] experience, as well as the training of our representatives at higher
[00:09:30] education institutions in Vietnam. At the
[00:09:33] meeting, it was noted that the cooperation should be developed with a
[00:09:37] focus on the practical component. Consultations were
[00:09:40] also held between the joint work and group of the State Secretariat of the
[00:09:44] Security Council and the Ministry
[00:09:48] result, a protocol in the field of security was
[00:09:51] signed.
[00:09:55] A Belarusian automobile manufacturer is building a modern
[00:09:59] stamping shop as part of the second phase of its modernization. The
[00:10:03] new facility is scheduled to open by the end of 2027. This
[00:10:06] will help significantly increase production volumes and enhance
[00:10:10] localization levels. The new shop will manufacture large-scale
[00:10:13] exterior body components from doors to hoods and roofs.
[00:10:17] The Prime Minister assessed the
[00:10:19] constructions.
[00:10:55] models of equipment powered by liquefied natural gas, as well as equipment
[00:10:58] designed for mining. A working meeting was also held at
[00:11:02] Balas to discuss the company's prospects, the development of new
[00:11:05] equipment and export diversification. The
[00:11:08] company exports to two dozen destinations, most of them being
[00:11:12] distant
[00:11:12] countries.
[00:11:17] The fifth exhibition of Chinese goods and services has been opened at
[00:11:21] Minsk International Exhibition Center. China has announced one
[00:11:25] hundred and twenty-seven companies, all of which represent various sectors:
[00:11:28] industry, construction, pharmaceuticals and
[00:11:31] agriculture. The program is rich with high-level forums, business
[00:11:35] meetings and company presentations. This significant event
[00:11:38] serves as an important platform for trade and economic cooperation,
[00:11:42] technological exchange and joint business opportunities between
[00:11:46] China and Belarus.
[00:11:48] Everyone should use their competitive advantages. The Chinese can
[00:11:52] commercialize and bring these things to market.
[00:12:25] Industrial Park, China's largest free economic zone outside its
[00:12:28] borders.
[00:12:33] Belarus has set a goal for the coming years to double the tourism
[00:12:36] industry's contribution to the country's economy, reaching
[00:12:39] 4.5% of the GDP. A large-scale
[00:12:42] state program called Tourism designed for
[00:12:45] 2026-2030 aims to achieve this goal. It
[00:12:49] includes 37 measures. Work is being carried
[00:12:52] out in four areas: the development of industry facilities, international
[00:12:56] tourism, tourism services marketing and the digitalization of the
[00:12:59] industry. The program also calls for increasing the number of rooms in
[00:13:03] sanatoriums and health resorts by at least
[00:13:06] 30%.
[00:13:08] The program includes 130 infrastructure projects with
[00:13:12] total funding of nearly 1.8 billion Belarusian
[00:13:15] rubles.
[00:13:19] In St. Petersburg, one of the most tragic chapters of the Great
[00:13:22] Patriotic War is being remembered. The
[00:13:55] cemetery is the largest memorial cemetery dedicated to the
[00:13:58] victims of the war, but here are those who defended the
[00:14:03] the siege. Among them are thousands of
[00:14:06] Belarusians.
[00:14:11] Tactical and special training exercises for reconnaissance
[00:14:14] personnel of the Special Operations Forces of Belarus and paratroopers
[00:14:18] from Kazakhstan. The Forest Brotherhood 2026
[00:14:21] maneuvers have started at the Brest training ground. The goal is
[00:14:25] to practice joint operations, improve interoperability and, of
[00:14:29] course, exchange experience. The main focus is
[00:14:32] on reconnaissance, searching for and neutralizing illegal formations
[00:14:36] in wooded and swampy terrain.
[00:14:39] The main goal is to develop practical skills, test the
[00:14:43] coordination of actions and increase the level of readiness to
[00:14:46] accomplish the assigned tasks under any conditions.
[00:14:50] As it has been announced, in mid- October, command and staff exercises
[00:14:54] with the peacekeeping forces of the Unbreakable Brotherhood 2026
[00:14:57] alliance will be held at the Los Video training ground. The head of the
[00:15:01] CTO Joint Staff reported on the readiness of the forces and
[00:15:05] resources of the collective security system to conduct joint
[00:15:08] exercises.
[00:15:12] The Belarusian city Kastukovi took up the
[00:15:15] baton for the Day of Belarusian Writing and also became the
[00:15:18] most book-loving city. Two kilometers of Kastukovich's
[00:15:21] streets were filled with books and their creators. The
[00:15:25] traditional Day of Belarusian Writing was held for the
[00:15:28] 33rd time. I'm a
[00:15:31] librarian by profession. Of course, Belarusians read a lot
[00:15:35] and now they are reading Belarusian books, works by our new
[00:15:38] authors, when I have many new authors. We are used to reading
[00:15:42] classics, that's what people of my generation do,
[00:15:45] Shamiakin,
[00:15:47] but now young people are also turning to
[00:15:49] literature.
[00:15:53] Kostyukovi is the fifth city in Mogilev Oblast to become the
[00:15:57] capital of the Day of Belarusian Writing. It was here that the
[00:16:00] temporary museum of rare books was opened. For the first
[00:16:04] time, they also showcased the historical journey from
[00:16:08] documents to modern realities. The Day of Belarusian
[00:16:11] Writing has been held under the patronage of the President since
[00:16:14] 1994.
[00:16:19] Belarusian film Black Castle was presented at the
[00:16:23] ASEAN Film Festival. The event was held at the Hong Kong Arts
[00:16:26] Center. This cultural event brought together about
[00:16:29] 120 participants, including diplomats accredited in Hong
[00:16:33] Kong, representatives of various bodies and invited guests, including
[00:16:39] The ASEAN Film Festival program this year includes a record high number
[00:16:43] of films, more than 30. The event brings together
[00:16:46] filmmakers from all the 11 ASEAN countries, including East
[00:16:50] Timor. The program also included films from China, Bangladesh,
[00:16:54] Belarus, Kazakhstan, Nepal, Pakistan,
[00:16:57] Australia and
[00:16:58] Russia.
[00:17:02] For one day, the center of Minsk was painted in the colors of the
[00:17:05] Mexican flag, and its streets were filled with the aromas of
[00:17:09] spices. The Mexican Culture Festival was held in the upper
[00:17:12] town. The organizer was Minsk City Executive
[00:17:17] the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Embassy of Mexico in Belarus,
[00:17:21] as well as with the support of A1, the largest company with
[00:17:24] Mexican capital in Belarus. The event became an important step in
[00:17:28] strengthening relations between the two
[00:17:30] countries.
[00:18:07] was a large musical show. Mariachi musicians took the main
[00:18:11] stage. In addition, a photo exhibition by Mexican authors
[00:18:14] is open at the Vankovich house, where you can see the everyday life and
[00:18:18] culture of this country through the eyes of its residents.
[00:20:42] Minsk is always different, it surprises, delights,
[00:20:45] impresses.
[00:20:48] The region is a symbol of the feat of the Belarusian people and the heroic past of an
[00:20:51] independent
[00:20:52] country.
[00:20:56] From the eternal flame of memory and Francis Skaryna Street
[00:21:00] to the Tractor Plant settlement and the new district

[00:23:20] a large-scale sociological study, it covered more than 200 people and
[00:23:23] 99 localities. Tell us about the results of this
[00:23:27] study and most importantly, why it became
[00:23:30] such a significant project, why such an idea was born, why it is important
[00:23:34] now to talk about the results and what these results
[00:23:38] can say about our society as a whole? Yes, thank
[00:23:40] you very much,
[00:23:44] dear viewers, dear
[00:23:47] listeners, the Institute of Sociology
[00:24:29] of our society, which directions of state
[00:24:33] policy are successfully implemented,
[00:24:36] meet the interests, needs of people, where
[00:24:39] there are certain issues that should be brought
[00:24:43] to the focus of attention of relevant government
[00:24:45] agencies, to the focus of attention
[00:24:49] of journalists. community in order to
[00:24:52] get the most reliable,
[00:24:56] complete and exhaustive answers to the questions that
[00:25:00] interested us, that interested the client, and
[00:25:03] the client in this study was the Belarusian
[00:25:06] Institute for Strategic Studies. We
[00:25:09] approached the formation of our toolkit very carefully.
[00:25:13] First of all, the toolkit in this case was
[00:25:16] a questionnaire. We offered this questionnaire
[00:25:20] to be filled out by respondents.
[00:25:22] Residents of 99 localities were
[00:25:26] surveyed. A representative
[00:25:29] sample was formed. The sample
[00:25:32] is those people who directly answered
[00:25:36] the questions that our
[00:25:38] interviewers offered. The basis of this sample
[00:25:42] is, first of all,
[00:25:44] the structure of the population of our country, the current
[00:25:48] data of our National Statistical
[00:25:51] Committee, and in our sample
[00:25:55] are reflected, just as in the structure of the general
[00:25:58] population, male and female population,
[00:26:01] residents of large cities and
[00:26:04] small localities. In our sample,
[00:26:07] the population is represented with different levels of
[00:26:11] education, with different marital status,
[00:26:14] and this allows us today
[00:26:17] to use the results of this study and
[00:26:21] to consider them as truly accurate
[00:26:24] diagnostics of those opinions that
[00:26:28] our respondents shared with us. Well,
[00:26:32] the overall need for such a large-scale
[00:26:35] study is dictated by the fact
[00:26:38] that we are currently
[00:26:41] participating in the implementation of the program
[00:26:44] of socio-economic development of the country.
[00:26:47] The first year of the five-year plan
[00:26:50] is coming to an end, and we were focused on getting
[00:26:54] such results that would allow us
[00:26:57] to diagnose
[00:27:01] the success of various types of activities
[00:27:04] that we all implement together. Thank you.
[00:27:08] One of the striking results of the entire
[00:27:12] study was the fact that
[00:27:15] 85% of Belarusians, as
[00:27:18] the highest value, spoke about peaceful life, and indeed peace.
[00:27:22] How can this be explained from the point of view of both
[00:27:26] sociology and philosophy? Why is such a value
[00:27:29] in a leading position today? Here,
[00:27:32] we must first of all proceed from
[00:27:36] our domestic Belarusian realities. We live under a peaceful
[00:27:40] sky, we all have the opportunity
[00:27:43] to work, get an
[00:27:47] education, spend our free time
[00:27:50] as we wish,
[00:27:52] and not worry too much
[00:27:56] that something will happen,
[00:27:59] or rather, it is necessary to worry about it, but
[00:28:03] what we see outside our country especially
[00:28:07] emphasizes the importance of living in peaceful
[00:28:10] conditions, so the value of peaceful life is
[00:28:13] primarily dictated by
[00:28:16] the opportunity to compare, to contrast, what is happening with us and what
[00:28:20] is happening, unfortunately, in other
[00:28:23] countries, in other regions of the world, and how fragile this
[00:28:27] world can sometimes be, and from this it is necessary to draw conclusions
[00:28:31] in order to maintain it. Efforts are needed not only from
[00:28:34] the law enforcement agencies, the military-industrial complex,
[00:28:37] the army, not only from the state
[00:28:40] itself, but also from each of us, the
[00:28:43] President constantly says that you
[00:28:46] work, give me the economy,
[00:28:49] the rest of the issues are my competence, and it must be said
[00:28:52] that this competence
[00:28:56] is fully realized here, but this is not a reason
[00:28:59] to believe
[00:29:03] that since it has been this way for almost
[00:29:06] 100 years, the Great Patriotic
[00:29:09] War ended in 1945, that
[00:29:12] this peaceful sky is absolutely guaranteed to us
[00:29:16] without our own efforts,
[00:29:19] without working at our workplace,
[00:29:22] to ensure such a peaceful sky will be
[00:29:26] hardly possible. Well, at the heart
[00:29:30] of this value are not only
[00:29:32] the results of such everyday comparative
[00:29:36] analysis, but certainly, our
[00:29:39] traditional life wisdom, traditional
[00:29:42] values, to which we sometimes
[00:29:45] relate more skeptically than
[00:29:49] required, are reflected here. In
[00:29:52] fact, the well-known saying "that there should be no war," as
[00:29:56] paradoxical as it may sound, the first
[00:29:58] quarter of the 21st century is already ending.
[00:30:02] But it is more relevant than ever, therefore, at the base of such
[00:30:06] a distribution of opinions here, actually, are the opinions of people
[00:30:10] who emphasize this, our life
[00:30:13] philosophy, which proves its
[00:30:16] validity in this regard.
[00:30:19] In the list of what Belarusians are proud of,
[00:30:23] social protection, product quality,
[00:30:26] cleanliness of cities, and preservation of historical memory were also
[00:30:30] particularly noted. In your opinion, how are these values
[00:30:33] generally related to each other, why is this particular set of values
[00:30:37] at the forefront of our society today? I believe
[00:30:40] that the set of values that we have
[00:30:44] just defined perfectly characterizes our
[00:30:46] daily life, our daily life as a society
[00:30:50] as a whole.
[00:30:52] целом,
[00:30:54] Here are the directions of state
[00:30:58] policy that ensure precisely both
[00:31:01] social protection and
[00:31:05] the emphasis on us all working qualitatively,
[00:31:08] effectively, efficiently. This is reflected
[00:31:12] in the assortment
[00:31:15] of goods and services that are available
[00:31:19] to every resident of our country. There is
[00:31:22] a very reverent attitude to the cleanliness
[00:31:26] of our settlements, and I believe it is very
[00:31:29] interesting, useful, and necessary for
[00:31:32] both Belarusians and non-Belarusians to visit
[00:31:36] absolutely any of our settlements to make sure that
[00:31:40] the most comfortable living conditions have been created
[00:31:43] here, and clean
[00:31:45] streets, painted
[00:31:48] curbs,
[00:31:50] order in public places, this
[00:31:53] is not a sign that some guest
[00:31:56] will arrive, this is an attribute of our absolute
[00:31:59] daily life, and this is also a reflection of our
[00:32:02] character, our mentality, our culture, the desire for
[00:32:06] order, the desire for harmony, the desire to
[00:32:10] do everything not just effectively, efficiently, but to do everything
[00:32:14] beautifully. This whole
[00:32:17] set of values expresses and represents
[00:32:21] the result not only of those
[00:32:24] areas of activity that the state
[00:32:27] implements, but in this our own inner
[00:32:30] world is reflected, we live like
[00:32:33] this at home, in this way we organize
[00:32:37] our working life, our daily life,
[00:32:40] we strive for this, so in total, why is it
[00:32:43] so, well, it's everything,
[00:32:47] this is who we are. And you have already mentioned twice today about work,
[00:32:50] that it is really necessary to be very careful about your
[00:32:53] workplace, and indeed, if everyone works, does their job
[00:32:57] professionally and well, this is the basis of both security and well-being
[00:33:01] of all citizens. And what part
[00:33:04] of the research concerned specifically work ethics,
[00:33:07] work, and what were the results of the
[00:33:11] study, what did people say, what do they pay attention to?
[00:33:15] When we talk about work, I want to, in response to your
[00:33:18] question, to suggest,
[00:33:22] well, think for yourselves and I will make my comment
[00:33:26] on the distribution of people's opinions about
[00:33:29] how much they are willing to work
[00:33:32] a lot or work less, and rest more. So,
[00:33:35] more than half of the respondents, when answering
[00:33:38] the question, "What do you want, to work more,
[00:33:42] to work more, or to have a little..."
[00:35:15] In this particular study, this is the age group from 18 to
[00:35:18] 30 years old, and I can
[00:35:22] assume that, probably, for that part
[00:35:25] that is still at university,
[00:35:28] that has not yet started a family,
[00:35:32] obviously for this group, it will probably
[00:35:36] be a greater priority to
[00:35:38] somehow manage their free time more. But after
[00:35:42] this period of growing
[00:35:45] up, when people come to their workplace,
[00:35:49] when they begin to understand more clearly that life
[00:35:53] success is achieved through work, everything that we aspire
[00:35:56] to and strive for can only be achieved through
[00:36:00] labor, here these accents shift, well,
[00:36:03] and for an older category of respondents, for
[00:36:07] that category that is already of
[00:36:11] retirement age, it's absolutely reasonable, probably,
[00:36:15] to a certain extent, career, professional
[00:36:18] success, self-realization, this
[00:36:21] is a matter of the present, and a little bit of
[00:36:24] the past, and there is more aspiration to
[00:36:27] focus on managing one's
[00:36:31] free time, which is also a wonderful trend,
[00:36:34] meaning it indicates that there is an opportunity to
[00:36:38] truly concentrate on other aspects of one's
[00:36:42] life. Well, if we talk about the quality of life, these
[00:36:45] data show that 88% are satisfied
[00:36:48] with trade work, and 65%
[00:36:51] are satisfied with healthcare, more than 60% with housing and utilities services,
[00:36:54] these are quite high indicators, even overall, if we take
[00:36:58] average global indicators for developed, developing countries
[00:37:02] and so on. But what about those who are truly dissatisfied?
[00:37:06] Today we are talking about the majority, about the results when people are truly
[00:37:10] satisfied, but there are, we understand, those who are dissatisfied, that's absolutely
[00:37:13] normal. What problems do they mention
[00:37:16] and how do you then transmit these signals
[00:37:19] to the relevant services to address
[00:37:22] this? I'll go back a little
[00:37:26] to the beginning of the question. I want to say that
[00:37:28] the figures that you
[00:37:31] mentioned, some of these figures, I can repeat them: 88%
[00:37:35] of respondents answered affirmatively to the question that yes, they
[00:37:38] are satisfied with trade, 65%
[00:37:41] with healthcare, more than 60%
[00:37:44] with services, approximately the same percentage, more than
[00:37:47] 60% are satisfied with the condition
[00:37:50] of roads and other aspects. So
[00:37:53] the results
[00:37:56] of the study that we just conducted
[00:37:59] are higher than the data we
[00:38:03] had 5 years ago, in 2021 we
[00:38:06] asked similar questions, we ask them in a monitoring
[00:38:10] mode. First of all, I would like to emphasize this
[00:38:14] positive dynamic. The second
[00:38:17] aspect of this question is related to the fact
[00:38:20] that our state, and we
[00:38:24] ourselves, and the country, we are very...
[00:39:58] attention, as for those issues,
[00:40:01] that our respondents pay attention to, they are certainly
[00:40:05] present, the shelves of all Belarusian
[00:40:08] stores are filled
[00:40:11] with goods of various qualities, these goods are presented
[00:40:15] in various price ranges, but as one of the questions, and
[00:40:18] there is no news here,
[00:40:22] Belarusians are concerned that prices are rising, these
[00:40:26] questions are about...
[00:41:27] in the polyclinic, in the hospital, it's sometimes
[00:41:31] difficult to get an appointment for a consultation with the necessary
[00:41:34] specialist. The problem of medical staff
[00:41:38] shortages also exists. For this,
[00:41:42] the state is doing a very serious job, in particular
[00:41:45] the enrollment in medical universities for state-funded
[00:41:48] education is significantly expanding. These are issues
[00:41:52] that certainly did not arise
[00:41:55] today, here and now, but at the same time, it is necessary to understand
[00:41:59] that during, for example, one admission
[00:42:02] campaign or graduation campaign from a university across the country,
[00:42:06] it is difficult to answer all such
[00:42:10] problematic issues, well, it's also quite difficult, if
[00:42:14] it's even possible at all, so this is a priority that
[00:42:17] is in the focus of attention of both the head of state and the government.
[00:42:20] If we talk about housing and communal
[00:42:23] services, yes, we are talking
[00:42:27] about a sufficiently high percentage of respondents
[00:42:30] who evaluate it positively, but sometimes resonant issues
[00:42:34] arise, largely also due to the fact that perhaps
[00:42:38] excessive emphasis is placed on...
[00:43:10] where they are dissatisfied with something, this also reaches the
[00:43:12] relevant authorities and services, we work with this, this is the key
[00:43:16] question, absolutely right, and moreover, in the development
[00:43:19] of this direction of our conversation, the results
[00:43:23] of this study are widely presented, in this
[00:43:27] regard we are grateful to our journalist colleagues who give
[00:43:30] us the opportunity to convey to all
[00:43:34] those who wish to hear it, this picture of affairs.
[00:43:37] The second point is related to the fact that they project. Our
[00:43:41] customers were given a strict requirement
[00:43:44] to obtain the most objective
[00:43:47] picture. Well, the third point is the work
[00:43:51] on the tools, on those problematic
[00:43:54] issues that we planned to study. We
[00:43:58] attracted a number of experts who
[00:44:02] helped to crystallize
[00:44:04] exactly those topics, those questions that are directly
[00:44:08] in focus. Sometimes
[00:45:15] we just keep silent about it, but the state does a lot of work,
[00:45:18] thank you for that, and to the Institute of Strategic Studies, that all these
[00:45:22] issues do not just remain somewhere and the work continues.
[00:45:26] It's also interesting to know about the fact that
[00:45:29] the study covered all regions, it's very interesting, are there
[00:45:33] differences between, for example, residents of the capital, they always say: Minsk
[00:45:36] thinks differently, you have it this way, we have it that way.
[00:45:40] But our head of state always says that everyone should have
[00:45:43] equal conditions, access to all resources,
[00:45:47] tell us, are there these differences between regional centers, residents
[00:45:51] of rural areas, the capital, in priority, level of maybe
[00:45:55] satisfaction and so on. Yes, certainly, certain
[00:45:58] differences exist, but despite all that, such
[00:46:01] differences do not have
[00:46:04] any, so to speak, resonant,
[00:46:08] cardinal character. There are no global
[00:46:11] discrepancies, contradictions in the assessments given by
[00:46:15] residents of rural areas and urban areas,
[00:46:18] and since I said that
[00:46:22] certain differences, of course, exist,
[00:46:25] residents of the capital, residents of large cities,
[00:46:28] they are, it turns out, more critically inclined towards
[00:46:32] certain aspects of their
[00:46:36] life, towards certain aspects
[00:46:39] that characterize the development of a given locality. Rural
[00:46:43] residents are more loyal in this regard, as for
[00:46:47] the assessment of the quality of life, the standard
[00:46:50] of living,
[00:47:52] which is happening now thanks to you, for which many thanks,
[00:47:55] it is not a single act, we
[00:47:58] promptly inform about the results of the conducted
[00:48:02] research to our government, and
[00:48:06] this information becomes available,
[00:48:09] so to speak, for wide use, thanks to the fact that
[00:48:13] journalists are interested in population
[00:48:16] surveys, so feedback
[00:48:20] works and... in those areas
[00:48:24] that you mentioned, the increase
[00:48:27] in satisfaction with the work of retail
[00:48:30] facilities, and opportunities for
[00:48:33] leisure, this is also a consequence of the fact
[00:48:36] that local authorities respond
[00:48:39] to those moments of dissatisfaction, to those moments that
[00:48:43] are not problems, but rather points of application of efforts,
[00:48:46] and such communication
[00:48:50] ensures our ability to
[00:48:53] continue to develop. National Unity Day is approaching,
[00:48:56] it's very interesting how the intersection of interests of different
[00:49:00] groups of the Belarusian population, we talked about the gender composition, age
[00:49:03] composition, different regions, how
[00:49:07] the intersection of interests helps to strengthen the unity of our
[00:49:10] country, in your opinion? Well,
[00:49:13] I support the thesis of the intersection of interests,
[00:49:17] when in
[00:49:19] our work,
[00:49:21] and not only through
[00:49:24] conducting such public opinion
[00:49:27] surveys, but we
[00:49:31] see, we observe what is happening, this is also
[00:49:34] a source of information, we do not
[00:49:37] observe, and the results of our surveys do not record
[00:49:41] any differences, not just fundamental, but even significant
[00:49:45] differences in the assessment of certain aspects of our life
[00:49:49] between men and women, between urban and rural residents,
[00:49:52] between those who live in large cities and district
[00:49:56] centers. Yes, between age groups,
[00:49:59] certain differences certainly exist, but these differences are
[00:50:03] precisely the basis for more concentrating
[00:50:07] certain directions, efforts, either of the state
[00:50:10] as a whole, or of local authorities, on some
[00:50:14] key issues related, for example,
[00:50:17] to urban improvement, or to equipping places,
[00:50:21] including
[00:50:52] the celebration of National Unity Day, these
[00:50:55] traditions are supported by our state
[00:50:58] policy.
