[00:00:00] The participants included experts, scientists, and representatives of a number of organizations from Russia
[00:00:03] and Belarus. The main topics of discussion are what concerns
[00:00:07] modern women in the Union State today. This includes professional
[00:00:11] and personal development, education, as well as practices
[00:00:13] to support health, family well-being, and active
[00:00:16] longevity. The participants discussed international cooperation and exchange of
[00:00:20] experience in social, scientific, and cultural projects in Belarus and
[00:00:23] Russia. During the forum, a thematic exhibition was held, and
[00:00:27] a fashion show of clothing models by designers from both countries took place. The role of
[00:00:30] women is extremely great. A woman is very
[00:00:33] multitasking, despite the fact that she is in our family
[00:00:36] and in business, in politics, in
[00:00:39] social activities, she tries to succeed everywhere, and, of course, carries
[00:00:43] love, carries kindness, carries peace.
[00:00:47] Therefore, of course, now, probably, especially now, in a period of
[00:00:50] turbulence, the role of women becomes especially bright, as I always say that the
[00:00:54] development of many processes of the world, of the world order,
[00:00:57] rests on the shoulders of women, therefore of course,
[00:01:22] Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, speakers discuss traditional
[00:01:26] family values, measures to support families, and the moral upbringing of
[00:01:30] children. In the role of experts: married couples, parliamentarians, heads of
[00:01:33] departments, and representatives of the clergy. The open platform
[00:01:36] demonstrates the experience of Belarus, where systemic state care for
[00:01:40] people is confirmed by real deeds and social
[00:01:43] guarantees.
[00:01:45] The republican action "Give the Forest New Life" will be held in Belarus from
[00:01:49] October 17 to 24. The campaign is aimed at
[00:01:52] restoring forests affected by hurricanes and drying. Anyone
[00:01:56] wishing to take part in the action can contact the nearest
[00:02:00] farm to obtain planting material and equipment. Large
[00:02:03] organizations and government agencies of the country will also join
[00:02:07] the eco-marathon. In 2025, more than
[00:02:10] 50,000 people took part in the action, and about 18
[00:02:13] million forest plants were planted.
[00:02:16] Pilot-cosmonaut Oleg Novitsky celebrates his anniversary.
[00:02:19] The President of Belarus congratulated the Hero of Russia on his 55th birthday.
[00:02:23] Alexander Lukashenko noted that with his hard work and determination,
[00:02:26] the native of our country inscribed bright pages in the history of his
[00:02:30] universe, gaining high authority and fame both in his native
[00:02:33] Belarusian land and far beyond its borders. Special gratitude
[00:02:37] is due to Oleg Navitsky's active public work aimed at
[00:02:40] strengthening friendship and cooperation between the fraternal peoples of Belarus and Russia,
[00:02:44] as well as developing the scientific and technical potential of the Union State.
[00:02:48] Oleg Novitsky is the only Belarusian who has been to space
[00:02:52] four times. An
[00:02:54] exhibition dedicated to the 85th anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of
[00:02:58] Moscow opened at the Museum of the History of the Great Patriotic War. The project was organized jointly with
[00:03:02] the Borodino Military Historical Museum-Reserve. The exhibition
[00:03:05] features more than 220 items. Among them are uniforms and equipment of
[00:03:09] soldiers and officers of 1812, engraved portraits of
[00:03:13] military leaders, paintings, graphics, and archaeological
[00:03:16] finds, fragments of ammunition, buttons, body crosses of soldiers
[00:03:19] who held the defense in 1812. All
[00:03:23] exhibits are presented in Minsk for the first time. A special place in
[00:03:26] the exhibition is given to natives of Belarus who defended Borodino.
[00:04:45] Minsk is always different, it surprises, delights
[00:04:49] and impresses. Almost 70 years of filigree chronicle
[00:04:53] in an atmosphere of high
[00:04:54] art.
[00:05:01] The palace with classical elements is a symbol of professional
[00:05:05] musical education in Belarus. Everything that
[00:05:09] happened during the week in the life of the capital in the program "Your City".
[00:05:13] This is another photo from the sixties, taken far away
[00:05:16] where the house with a panoramic view is now, so-called, Storozhevskaya
[00:05:20] street, trolleybus with autonomous code,
[00:05:23] articulated for the city of Minsk, we have been
[00:05:26] supplying such trolleybuses for a long time, at
[00:05:30] the moment Minsk buys only trolleybuses with
[00:05:34] autonomous running or electric buses, this is our
[00:05:36] gift to our enterprise, I really like it
[00:05:40] when adults come to us, because ...
[00:06:53] Hello, this is the project "Everything is Clear" with Marina Karaman.
[00:06:56] Let's talk about complex things in simple terms. Today, about
[00:06:59] whether it's realistic to get from Minsk to Moscow in 3
[00:07:03] hours, when train platforms will stop being
[00:07:06] witnesses to tears, and how one railway can change our
[00:07:09] retirement plans? Let's go!
[00:07:16] A high-speed train will be launched between Minsk and Moscow,
[00:07:19] allowing you to get from one capital to the other in 3 hours.
[00:07:23] This is the time it takes for an express train to take us from
[00:07:26] Minsk to Mogilev today, for example, and here
[00:07:29] is Moscow. To get by train from Moscow to Minsk or
[00:07:33] back, in current realities, it takes no less than
[00:07:36] 7:12. At least, that's what the website of
[00:07:40] Belarusian Railways tells us.
[00:07:49] hours against this background look fantastic, and the designers say that it is possible that a high-speed railway
[00:07:52] line between Moscow and St. Petersburg
[00:07:55] is already being built. It is planned to be commissioned in
[00:07:59] 2028, and then the express route to
[00:08:01] Minsk is next. These plans are not just empty
[00:08:05] words blown into the wind; they are documented on
[00:08:08] paper. In early October, a meeting of the Council of Ministers of
[00:08:12] the Union State was held in Minsk. Many
[00:08:14] documents were signed at this meeting, but the construction of
[00:08:18] the high-speed railway is such a significant project for both sides
[00:08:21] that a separate ceremony was held for its approval.
[00:08:24] The transport ministers of the two countries signed
[00:08:28] a memorandum of cooperation on the construction of
[00:08:31] the Moscow-Minsk high-speed railway. The idea
[00:08:34] of laying an express route to our capital belongs to
[00:08:37] the presidents of Belarus and Russia. Therefore, rest assured
[00:08:41] that there will be no administrative obstacles on this path. The new railway
[00:08:45] will be laid between Moscow and Minsk via Smolensk. Its
[00:08:48] total length will be 715 km.
[00:08:52] 21 high-speed trains will run
[00:08:55] on it. As for the railway track itself and the
[00:08:59] trains, of course, they will be special. High-speed trains
[00:09:02] will run on specially designated tracks that do not intersect with other
[00:09:06] routes. In Russia, lightweight locomotives and cars
[00:09:09] are currently being developed that will be able to accelerate up to
[00:09:13] 400 km/h. More than 150 enterprises and 10
[00:09:16] research institutes are working
[00:09:19] on them. There is nothing unattainable in the plans to produce such
[00:09:22] trains. In China, this is already being done. They are
[00:09:26] equipped with engines that efficiently convert electricity into
[00:09:30] motion. The locomotive is shaped like a bird's beak,
[00:09:33] and the wheels are hidden in a skirt of fairings. This helps the machine
[00:09:37] reduce air resistance on the way. To lighten the
[00:09:40] structure, the trains themselves are cast.
[00:10:19] This is a large and useful project of our neighbors, who simply could not
[00:10:22] leave Minsk out of it, the capital of their main
[00:10:26] ally and partner, and the financial and economic model of the project
[00:10:30] will be rotated, calculated, and adopted closer to 2030,
[00:10:33] where it will be specified how much and within what timeframe will be invested in it.
[00:10:37] It's good to sit and discuss that someone is going to launch a ground analogue
[00:10:41] of an airplane to us, and ordinary citizens will not have to
[00:10:45] think about how to do it, everything will be thought out for us, this is what the results
[00:10:49] of the work of effective politicians look like, who are focused on the interests of their
[00:10:52] peoples and states. Don't forget this.
[00:10:55] note.
[00:10:59] We will be optimists, but honest, not very soon.
[00:11:03] The memorandum is not yet a decision to start construction; it is a document that
[00:11:07] gives countries a basis to start calculations and preparatory
[00:11:10] work. Our and Russian railways must present a
[00:11:14] technical and economic justification for the project,
[00:11:17] calculate its exact cost and payback period.
[00:11:20] Next, a financial model needs to be developed for it. It will
[00:11:24] determine where the Union State will get funds for
[00:11:27] the construction and launch of the new railway. Perhaps it will be
[00:11:31] budget money, perhaps a loan from the Eurasian Development Bank, or perhaps
[00:11:35] a combined financial package, then
[00:11:37] engineering dances will begin. It will be necessary to study
[00:11:41] the terrain along the entire length of the future route, take into account its
[00:11:44] geological features, assess intersections with
[00:11:47] existing tracks, and decide at which points
[00:11:51] to build stations. In parallel, the project authors
[00:11:54] will have to harmonize standards in the field of
[00:11:57] railway transportation, make technical norms, traffic control systems,
[00:12:00] and power supply for electric trains
[00:12:03] uniform. A decree of the Union
[00:12:07] State is currently being prepared, which will fix the unification of
[00:12:10] the regulatory framework for the construction of the highway, prescribe
[00:12:13] the basic principles for choosing a financial model for it, the procedure for
[00:12:17] developing a feasibility study. The financial model is planned
[00:12:21] to be approved in 2028 or 2029,
[00:12:24] but the main thing is that the line will not operate in Belarus until
[00:12:27] the Russians test it on the local route -
[00:12:30] Moscow-St. Petersburg. And we are not talking here about the physical testing of new
[00:12:34] machines. It will be necessary to establish the operation of the entire mechanism
[00:12:37] of a new type of railway mainline. Express trains are planned
[00:12:41] to be launched from Moscow to St. Petersburg in
[00:12:43] 2028. This means that, according to the most optimistic forecasts, high-speed
[00:12:47] trains to Minsk will start running no earlier than
[00:12:50] 2030. There are no exact dates
[00:12:53] yet.
[00:12:57] Guys, even until 2032 is only
[00:13:00] 5 years. I know that in everyone's mind life goes slower
[00:13:04] than it actually does. That's why HR managers are wide-eyed when employees
[00:13:08] born in 2008 get jobs at their
[00:13:11] enterprise, and these are no longer infants, but adult men and
[00:13:15] women. In 3 months, it will be 2027,
[00:13:19] and then in a year, the high-speed railway between Moscow and St. Petersburg
[00:13:22] will start operating. But think about it, what a
[00:13:25] fairy tale it will be, it's worth living in anticipation for a few
[00:13:29] years.
[00:13:33] For me, a train to Moscow in 3 hours is magic, and
[00:13:37] from there it's another 3 hours to St. Petersburg. Take a walk on the weekends
[00:13:41] on Red Square, drink coffee near St. Isaac's
[00:13:44] Cathedral, invite friends for the weekend to Minsk, no
[00:13:48] need to wait for promotions from Belavia and Aeroflot, no need to shake
[00:13:51] on the train for half a day, no need to pray for your children while they are in the
[00:13:55] sky. You just put your teenager on the train, came home, and on
[00:13:58] the screen an SMS: Mom, we are here, and a photo from the Belarusian
[00:14:02] station. Can you imagine how close
[00:14:05] the residents of our and Russian cities will be to each other
[00:14:08] after the launch of high-speed trains? The separation of friends
[00:14:11] and lovers at train stations will no longer be a drama.
[00:14:15] The feeling that trips to each other can only be planned
[00:14:18] for vacations or long weekends will disappear. For a meeting,
[00:14:22] Saturday and Sunday will be enough. Out of forty-
[00:14:25] minutes, only six on the road, against the current
[00:14:28] 16-18, and if you leave on Friday evening,
[00:14:31] there are two full days ahead. What an
[00:14:34] impetus for business development, training
[00:14:37] seminars, business meetings, where everything can be resolved on the spot, and not
[00:14:41] through business correspondence, employment, shift work without
[00:14:44] being away from family during the week. The high-speed
[00:14:47] railway will allow Belarus and Russia to improve the single
[00:14:50] economic space, an ecosystem where thousands
[00:14:53] of specialists will have enough space and time to develop
[00:14:57] science, production, trade, and receive additional
[00:15:00] education. When France launched the high-speed route
[00:15:03] Paris-Lyon, the number of business trips between these cities
[00:15:06] increased by 50%. In
[00:15:09] Germany, regions where high-speed train stations were built
[00:15:12] showed GDP growth of 8.5%
[00:15:16] over 6 years. The high-speed locomotive between Minsk and
[00:15:19] Moscow is not just a train, it is an engine of life
[00:15:22] and trade between two beautiful.
[00:15:37] I can travel to Moscow by land, quickly and comfortably, that my
[00:15:41] list of locations for trips for a couple of days will be replenished with one of
[00:15:44] the most mysterious megacities on the planet, that walks on
[00:15:48] the cobblestones, about which classics wrote, will stop being so
[00:15:51] rare, that I will finally see Vladivostok,
[00:15:55] because it's 3 hours to Moscow, and from there 8 hours by plane, and
[00:15:58] you're at the final point of the Trans-Siberian railway, or 3 hours
[00:16:02] and you're in Murmansk by the majestic Barents Sea,
[00:16:06] where you can see whales. Therefore,
[00:16:09] yes, for me, the Minsk- Moscow express is a fairy tale, one
[00:16:13] of my childhood dreams that suddenly became so real and
[00:16:15] close.
[00:16:20] Make the boldest plans, even seemingly
[00:16:23] incredible dreams tend to come true if two hardworking
[00:16:27] peoples want it. Be
[00:16:31] patient. The new highway will not appear tomorrow, but it will forever
[00:16:35] become a rope that will firmly connect...
[00:16:43] New paths are opening up for us, and we will definitely walk along
[00:16:46] them, no longer young, but wise and able to appreciate
[00:16:50] the entire vast expanse from Brest to
[00:16:52] Vladivostok. I'm Marina Karaman, and we've
[00:16:56] figured out what path Belarus will take in the 2030s of the
[00:16:59] 21st century. Everything is clear, see
[00:17:02] you soon.
