00:00:21We show Belarus daily,
00:00:2524 hours a day, freely available all over the
00:00:28world. Belarus
00:00:3224. Bringing Belarus closer.
00:02:17Belarusian and Arab parliaments signed a memorandum of understanding, which
00:02:21will become an inter-parliamentary bridge that will connect
00:02:25Belarus with the Arab world in trade and economic spheres, in
00:02:28education and medicine. Belarus is working on a large-scale
00:02:31project to supply Mozambique with 400 units
00:02:35of agricultural equipment, including a thousand tractors. A country with a population of almost forty million
00:02:38and access to the Indian Ocean. It is extremely interested in Belarusian
00:02:42technologies. Mozambique needs support in matters of security and
00:02:46the fight against various forms of organized crime, and
00:02:49in this we can help both with training specialists and with training in
00:02:53technologies for working with drones, anti-drone
00:02:56systems, and radar complexes. The metallurgical industry plays from
00:06:22We are in the fields of the peasant farm
00:06:25Nakhodka Polessye in the agro-town of Tyshkovichi,
00:06:28the capital of tulips, that's what we informally
00:06:31call our agro-town and generally in the Brest
00:06:35region, everyone knows us, not only in the Brest
00:06:39region, but also calls us the capital, the initiator.
00:06:42of the creation was my
00:06:45husband, Valery Nikolaevich, we
00:06:48initially, when we got married, lived in
00:06:51the city of Pinsk. We had several acquaintances who
00:06:55grew a small number
00:06:57of tulips. My husband was very
00:07:00interested in this topic. At that
00:07:04time, there was no demand for tulips in Belarus. And
00:07:08the next year we already had 700
00:07:11tulips growing in
00:07:15our backyard in Pinsk. Then everything went into
00:07:19geometric progression. The next
00:07:22year we grew 17 thousand. I was
00:07:25shocked. I was so
00:07:28scared. But they say that courage
00:07:31takes cities. We didn't have the opportunity to grow more tulips in
00:07:34our backyard in Pinsk. We are residents
00:07:38, natives of the agro-town
00:07:41Tyshkovichi, we decided to return to
00:07:44Tyshkovichi, here we have a larger backyard and
00:07:48to grow more tulips. We built
00:07:51a greenhouse in the backyard where
00:07:54my mother lived, we grew 300,000. We started
00:07:58growing tulip bulbs recently,
00:08:01literally three years ago. Here
00:08:04again, it is the merit of my husband
00:08:07that he managed to involve
00:08:10his sons, draw
00:08:13prospects for his sons,
00:08:17son-in-law,
00:08:19they became interested in this issue, and they are all
00:08:23advanced, so to speak, in a modern
00:08:27language, because we, maybe,
00:08:31if they hadn't participated in this production,
00:08:35wouldn't have achieved that.
00:08:38My husband is the main strategist of this farm.
00:09:12My nephew works in this
00:09:16farm with his wife, and I want to say that this
00:09:19is that strong backbone, who has
00:09:22an irregular working day,
00:09:25who set a goal, achieves
00:09:28it, not just as much as possible,
00:09:32but they live
00:09:35for the future, they see this future,
00:09:38they strive to live better, because ...
00:10:12and work little, but generally work
00:10:15ennobles. Everyone who comes to us says that they
00:10:18gain energy
00:10:21and enthusiasm from us, but we all like it.
00:10:25My sons and son-in-law, nephew
00:10:28never said that they don't like working here,
00:10:32they want to change
00:10:35jobs. Here, if
00:10:38you work, you work, but the places for recreation
00:10:41are unique. I want to say that in our
00:10:45Polissya there are very hardworking
00:10:48people. Each of our
00:10:51people, in the summer period, it is very difficult for us
00:10:55to find people for work, because everyone
00:10:59has their own backyard plots and they
00:11:02are not sown with grass, they are planted with
00:11:05blueberries, raspberries, strawberries. Almost
00:11:09everyone who is still at an
00:11:12age when they have the strength
00:11:16to work, takes an additional hectare or
00:11:19two hectares of land in the village council and plants
00:11:23early potatoes, cabbage.
00:11:27People do not imagine their
00:11:30life without work. A person works because he is used
00:11:33to working, because he works at home, and he
00:11:36works for us the way he works
00:11:39at home. I never thought I would return to
00:11:42the village, well, because life somehow
00:11:45develops like that, and to this day, by the way, it develops like that,
00:11:49that everyone strives for the city, and not only children
00:11:53strive for the city, all our parents, maybe because they worked
00:11:57hard, they reasoned like this, oh, you need to study and
00:12:00work somewhere in the city, where
00:12:02it's easier. At the moment,
00:12:05I want to say, life in
00:12:08the city and village does not differ much,
00:12:12well, at least, I mean our
00:12:15region, Tyshkovichi, Chmatal, everywhere
00:12:18asphalt, everyone has gas heating,
00:12:22electricity, a shop.
00:12:26Everything is within walking distance, at that moment, of course, it was not like that,
00:12:30so we also dreamed of the city, and
00:12:34I never thought that I would return to
00:12:37the village, never,
00:12:41but I dreamed that I would be the head of a kindergarten,
00:12:45I would have an
00:12:48apartment, so I tell everyone
00:12:51that what
00:12:55we achieved, of course, it was not me
00:12:59alone who achieved it, or not my husband, generally, our entire
00:13:02family, what we achieved,
00:13:05exceeded all my expectations. I did not
00:13:09expect that
00:13:10I
00:13:14would sit here
00:13:17in such a paradise, and this is really
00:13:21paradise,
00:13:23that I would have my own
00:13:25house,
00:13:28that I would have such smart
00:13:32children and
00:13:33son-in-law.
00:13:37I generally believe
00:13:38that
00:13:42everything that we have
00:13:45is a Klondike, yes, I generally consider
00:13:48myself a very happy woman.
00:13:51Happiness, it just comes in different sizes.
00:13:55From a hummock to Kazbek, depending on the person.
00:13:59For me, happiness is not a hummock,
00:14:02well, maybe not Kazbek, but
00:14:06this is also a high bar, high
00:14:09requirements, and I am happy.
00:14:38The Club of Editors for Belarus, this regional dimension
00:14:42of international cooperation is becoming one of the most breakthrough. It is not only
00:14:46a forum with Russia, but we know that China is very interested,
00:14:49Kazakhstan, our economies
00:14:52are complementary.
00:15:25This is not, Europe is occupied by our country, our military
00:15:29bases are there, our special services and the CIA and FBI work there
00:15:32as if at home. So, we can
00:15:35assume that this aggressive.
00:17:45We are a family of farmers from Kobrin district, Brest
00:17:49region, and you are currently at Dedov's farm "Khutora".
00:18:03We are engaged in the production of vegetables, mainly
00:18:07early vegetables. We are on the lawn
00:18:11near our greenhouse, the wide open spaces, and the farmer's house.
00:18:14We received this land back in 2015 in
00:18:18a very deplorable state, very neglected. Here there
00:18:22was a mixture of young forest and nascent
00:18:26landfills. Many local residents brought some
00:18:29construction debris here, and in order to start some
00:18:33work here, we had to
00:18:35work hard and not for one year. We gained our first experience in
00:18:39farming by working with my parents. They are also
00:18:42farmers, but they grow apples. We managed to work with them,
00:18:46try what it is like, work, at
00:18:50some point we decided to develop independently,
00:18:53separate, go our own way,
00:18:56having gained excellent experience, seeing how those very apples and various
00:19:00vegetables grow. The first crop in our farm was zucchini. We
00:19:04cultivated it on my wife's parents' farm.
00:19:08And to this day
00:19:11zucchini remains our number one,
00:19:14but since then we have not
00:19:17stopped experimenting, and thanks
00:19:19to this, we cultivate such
00:19:23crops as asparagus,
00:19:25zucchini, courgette, sweet corn,
00:19:29muscat pumpkins in a large assortment,
00:19:32also iceberg lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower,
00:19:35multicolored. Well, multicolored
00:19:39cabbages too. This season we
00:19:41will finish with
00:19:45apples.
00:19:55We are on one of the fields where
00:19:58an experiment is being carried out on such a crop as artichoke.
00:20:02You can see artichoke, a Mediterranean
00:20:05plant, which by...
00:20:26This is where our retail chains gladly help us, because it is a good tool for enabling as many
00:20:30customers and people
00:20:32as possible to get acquainted with this wonderful
00:20:35crop, which
00:20:38is very useful for digestion, for the liver,
00:20:42and in early spring, well, in early spring,
00:20:45in May, you can already enjoy this delicacy.
00:20:50Artichoke is a plant of the
00:20:53daisy family, so it is essentially a flower. Its main
00:20:56purpose is medicinal,
00:21:00and it is eaten as
00:21:03an inflorescence in a closed state.
00:21:06To prepare it,
00:21:09you need to peel off the leaves. The
00:21:12inflorescence of the plant is eaten in
00:21:16a closed form.
00:21:18It needs to be cut off with a stem about
00:21:214-5 cm long. This is
00:21:24how it looks. To prepare
00:21:27an artichoke, you need to clean it of leaves,
00:21:30get to the yellow ones, which are tender,
00:21:33young. Then we
00:21:35cut it in half, cut off
00:21:39the top part and clean out the fluff that is
00:21:43at the bottom. This bottom with short
00:21:46leaves is used in food for...
00:21:50Different recipes are used for preparing artichokes. It
00:21:53can be baked in the oven, it can be fried deliciously with
00:21:56garlic and stewed under a lid. We
00:22:00really like the second recipe, our family
00:22:03actively prepares artichokes this way. Artichoke is a very healthy
00:22:07plant for the liver, it is a good choleretic
00:22:10agent, and artichoke
00:22:13is a rather interesting plant in agricultural technology,
00:22:17we were prompted to cultivate it by
00:23:20saved it for insurance, re-sowed it
00:23:23this year, and new plants, so we are determined
00:23:27to continue our experiment and
00:23:31improve the health of our
00:23:32Belarusians.
00:23:39As far as we know from
00:23:43our experience, we were the first in the country to start
00:23:46cultivating artichokes,
00:23:49and so far for 4 years we have been the only ones.
00:23:52It would be interesting if there were
00:23:56other producers, because it's more interesting together,
00:24:00it would be great to exchange experiences,
00:24:03together, in a word, it's easier to achieve
00:24:07a goal. I would also like to add that
00:24:10the main product of artichoke
00:24:14is its inflorescence, in this form, but with a
00:24:17wonderful side effect at the end
00:24:21of the growing season are its flowers
00:24:25of a beautiful lilac purple
00:24:29color. They delight
00:24:31the hearts of lovely ladies.
00:24:35As experience has shown, Belarusian land
00:24:38is ready to accept any experiments,
00:24:42what is important is the seed and a lot
00:24:45of hard work.
00:25:30When we started the farm, well,
00:25:33it's easier to do
00:25:36business in the city, because people there
00:25:39don't know each other, they don't
00:25:43know who comes from which family, and they perceive
00:25:46all this more simply. When you start
00:25:50a business where you were born,
00:25:54people have some initial distrust,
00:25:58how can they, will they be able
00:26:02to organize all this, because well,
00:26:06people here are simpler, they are used
00:26:10to working themselves, not organizing work,
00:26:13working themselves physically,
00:26:16so I wouldn't say that anyone
00:26:19criticized us, but people
00:26:23initially treated our business
00:26:26with distrust. Another thought: who
00:26:29needs these flowers?
00:26:33and spending money, well, because, well, times
00:26:36change, views change,
00:26:40now it's completely different, now everyone in
00:26:43Tyshkovichi already has tulips
00:26:46growing in their yards,
00:26:48everyone comes to work for us in the winter
00:26:51under a contract to clean them,
00:26:55everyone admires them,
00:26:58when I meet some acquaintances
00:27:03from another locality,
00:27:07the world is small, people sometimes meet somewhere, travel together,
00:27:11rest together, lie in hospitals together, and
00:27:14it's nice when they say, oh, I was
00:27:17traveling with people from your village, I rested
00:27:20with people from your village, they spoke so well of you, and you have such beauty
00:27:24there, it's nice, it's nice, people
00:27:28have completely changed their opinion.
00:27:32Well, literally by 180 degrees
00:27:36in the opposite direction, now, on the contrary,
00:27:40people ask us, how do we plant correctly,
00:27:43and what do we feed them with, so that we have such high
00:27:47yields, that is, distrust has
00:27:51already turned, so to speak,
00:27:55into imitation, so to speak, the policy
00:27:58of our farm is that if people ask
00:28:01us something, we always...
00:28:04because from our own experience, let's say, if a person wants to achieve
00:28:08something, he will still
00:28:10achieve it. And if a person wants to achieve something, why
00:28:14not help him?
00:28:17Therefore, we must be kind in this world.
00:28:21As you sow, so shall you reap, and
00:28:24generally,
00:28:27we must do good, life is one. Now is such a world,
00:28:31that I want to wish... myself
00:28:34peace, peace. There will
00:28:38be peace. We are all
00:28:41hardworking,
00:28:43and my children, my grandchildren are growing
00:28:45up, and having lived
00:28:49, well, let's say, most of
00:28:53my life, already a large part, I believe that
00:28:56this is really the main thing - peace and health, and everything else depends on
00:29:00us.
00:29:28having experience of living in big
00:29:31cities such as Minsk, Brest,
00:29:35we really like Kobrin, especially our
00:29:37village, because we found our
00:29:41small piece of paradise on earth, we really like
00:29:44our way of
00:29:47life, a small city,
00:29:50close to the borders,
00:29:54compact, saturated with infrastructure,
00:29:58ideal for living. Every
00:30:33day for us is different from
00:30:35the previous one, everything changes, tasks change, weather
00:30:39changes, some new crops come,
00:30:42it's time to harvest from the fields, everything is different
00:30:46now. One evening we were driving home with Andrey,
00:30:50tired, barely able to drag our feet,
00:30:53we drive and complain to each other that we love this
00:30:57job so much that we don't feel the time to stop,
00:31:01because we like it so much, we want to continue
00:31:04and continue, as a result, you barely get home at
00:31:0811 PM, it's still without regrets, without
00:31:12sorrow, it's still our favorite thing.
00:31:45for our body, our fuel, for our
00:31:48ideas, for our achievements,
00:31:51therefore we try to build the production
00:31:54process so that we have time
00:31:57to experiment, learn
00:32:00and make our food as healthy as
00:32:04possible in today's realities, because it's not simple, we
00:32:07grow vegetables in open ground, we always
00:32:11have to cope with many factors.
00:32:15Therefore, the main advantage, I believe, is that
00:32:18we,
00:32:20as
00:32:22individuals representing Dedovy Khutor, our
00:32:25family, we don't have our own
00:32:28beds. We boldly
00:32:31experiment, we grow vegetables
00:32:35for the body and also develop our
00:32:38territory for the soul, for ourselves and for those who visit
00:32:42our farm,
00:32:44therefore. I think that this is true love
00:32:47for the homeland, for people,
00:32:49for people, well, people are the country, so without
00:32:53people, nowhere.
