00:05:00as one of the key partners in North Africa and welcomes
00:05:03the active exchange of bilateral delegation visits in the field
00:05:07of industry and agriculture. The Free
00:05:10Economic Zone in Vitebsk expands business cooperation with
00:05:13Uzbekistan. During online negotiations, the parties discussed
00:05:16prospects for cooperation, export-import potential, and
00:05:19the implementation of investment projects.
00:05:22Belarus is actively increasing its supply of rapeseed oil both to the domestic
00:05:26market and for export. With the program's guest, we will talk about a new trend in
00:05:30the food culture of Belarusians, about how the domestic product
00:05:33is conquering foreign markets. Under the bright
00:05:36name of Kupala. The summer school of Belarusian language and culture
00:05:40is held at Grodno State University.
00:05:43The event will enrich the knowledge of foreigners about the history, culture, literature, and
00:05:47Belarusian
00:06:03Putus. Hello. The countries
00:06:05of the Eurasian Economic Union have concluded an agreement on electronic
00:06:09trade in goods in the EAEU. The document was signed by the Prime Minister.
00:06:42The mechanism for financing joint
00:06:46cooperation projects in industry has been in operation since the fourth year. By
00:06:48agreement of the parties, the project is a pilot project with a validity
00:06:52period of 5 years. Two years of practical application
00:06:55showed that this instrument has not fully worked. This means that
00:06:59there are flaws and gaps in this mechanism that prevent
00:07:03its widespread use by economic entities in our
00:07:06countries. The initial conditions for financing industrial
00:07:10cooperation projects significantly affect
00:07:13the possibility of applying this stimulating instrument.
00:07:17The Belarusian side also calls on partners to give the green light
00:07:20to cooperation in the scientific and technical sphere. So that Eurasian
00:07:23cooperation projects are innovative, high-tech,
00:07:27based on digital solutions. Belarus considers
00:07:30Algeria as one of the key partners in North Africa and the African
00:07:34continent as a whole. Recently, a number of visits by delegations
00:07:38from both states have taken place, and businessmen from both countries have visited various exhibitions
00:07:41in Algeria and Belarus. What are the prospects for bilateral relations?
00:07:45Belarus and Algeria are traditionally united by friendly relations,
00:07:49mutual respect, and similar approaches to fundamental issues on the international
00:07:52agenda. This was noted during the visit of the Minister of State,
00:07:56Minister of Foreign Affairs, National Communities Abroad, and
00:07:59African Affairs of Algeria to Minsk. Belarus considers
00:08:03the intensification of dialogue as an important stage in the further development
00:08:06of relations and the strengthening of the spirit
00:08:09of cooperation that was laid by the presidents of the two countries in December. Let me remind
00:08:13you that the heads of our states in December 2025
00:08:16set us
00:08:19an ambitious task to reach a trade
00:08:22turnover of $500 million
00:08:26by the end of 2027. This is a very ambitious
00:08:29task. Today,
00:08:32the foreign policy departments, the ministries of the two countries,
00:08:36and the governments are doing everything to accomplish
00:08:39this task. Let me remind you that during...
00:09:42our exports to Algeria amounted to
00:09:45almost $80 million. The Belarusian side welcomes
00:09:49the active exchange of bilateral visits of delegations from our countries in the field
00:09:53of industry and agriculture, and the development of contacts
00:09:56between business representatives. In the near future, the Deputy Prime Minister of Belarus will visit
00:10:00Algeria to finalize a number of
00:10:03projects. The Free Economic Zone in Vitebsk expands business
00:10:06cooperation with Uzbekistan. What joint
00:10:09ventures are planned to be opened and what has already been done. The FEZ
00:10:13administration held online negotiations with the Directorate for Industrial Zone Management
00:10:16in Tashkent. The parties discussed prospects for cooperation,
00:10:20export-import potential, and the implementation of investment projects. Already
00:10:23next spring, the Vitebsk FEZ plans to start
00:10:27construction of a new woodworking
00:10:30production. The main outcome of the online meeting was the signing of a roadmap
00:10:34with a large Uzbek enterprise. The foundation
00:10:37for new projects was laid in July at the second forum of regions of Belarus
00:10:40and Uzbekistan. In Minsk, representatives of the Vitebsk FEZ
00:10:44and companies from Tashkent signed a memorandum of understanding.
00:10:48The document provides for the construction in Vitebsk of an enterprise for the production
00:10:51of household and industrial products.
00:10:55The project will literally immediately begin the development of a business plan
00:10:59within 10 days. The technical
00:11:02task is being prepared now, so it will be
00:11:05woodworking, advanced woodworking,
00:11:08three-stage. That is, the first stage will be boards and
00:11:11drying, the second will be the production of chipboard for their volumes,
00:11:15and the third will be all moldings, doors, windows,
00:11:18skirting boards, all carpentry. So these are the plans. The amount
00:11:22of investment being considered is about 20 million dollars.
00:11:26New construction will take place here on the site. Today, on
00:11:29the territory of the free economic zone Vitebsk, 53
00:11:32investment projects are being implemented. Currently,
00:11:35six projects
00:11:38are in various stages
00:11:41of development. Some agreements have been reached, some business plans are being prepared,
00:11:44but we plan to register two or three companies
00:11:48in September, where business plans are already ready. These are two projects
00:11:51in Orsha and another project in the Zhuzhevo territory. New
00:11:55construction. Today, the cooperation of residents of the free economic zone with
00:11:59Uzbekistan is strategic in nature and includes a variety
00:12:02of interaction models, from direct export deliveries to the creation
00:12:06of full-fledged production facilities. Environmental friendliness and flexible
00:12:09adaptation to global market demands. The Newsprint Factory in
00:12:13Shklov is opening up new niches for itself. What is being discussed and what
00:12:16new products are produced at the enterprise? Thanks to production modernization,
00:12:20the enterprise promptly responded to global eco-trends
00:12:23and switched to closed-cycle production. Instead of
00:12:26primary wood, hundreds of tons of waste paper are processed
00:12:29here. The output is paper for corrugated cardboard,
00:12:33which is in demand on foreign markets. The Shklov factory produces about
00:12:3670,000 tons of paper per year, focusing on niche
00:12:40products. The base for cash receipts used to be imported from
00:12:43abroad. Today, it is the only enterprise in Belarus that
00:12:47produces such base paper. Another
00:12:49high-tech product is base paper for decorative finishing
00:12:53materials. This product is made from our
00:12:56paper, from paper, from paper.
00:13:00Yes,
00:13:02not long ago, we also mastered
00:13:06the production of base paper for decorative
00:13:09finishing materials, Bofon. Clients from
00:13:12Russia ordered this paper from us. Here, I think, there are more
00:13:16than a thousand layers of paper, they are glued, they
00:13:20are pressed. Today, 70% of all factory products
00:13:23go for export, with deliveries from Russia and
00:13:26Uzbekistan to Turkey and Iran. Thank you, the review
00:13:29was prepared by Evgeny Kachets. More news from
00:13:32the economic sphere and beyond on our TV channel's website and social
00:13:36networks.
00:13:40Belarus is actively developing the production and sale of rapeseed oil, increasing
00:13:44supplies both to the domestic market and for export. This product
00:13:48is positioned as a healthy and affordable alternative
00:13:51to other vegetable oils, because it is rich in beneficial fatty
00:13:55acids that help maintain the health of the cardiovascular
00:13:58system. How can rapeseed oil affect the daily
00:14:02life and habits of consumers? Are there enough production
00:14:05capacities, and what is the current level of oilseed cultivation
00:14:08in the country? We will talk about this today with the guest of the studio,
00:14:11the head of the Department for Coordination of Domestic Market Supplies and
00:14:15Foreign Trade Activities of the Belgospishcheprom concern, Anastasia
00:14:18Skorobogatova. Anastasia Yurievna, hello. Today, wherever
00:14:22you go in any grocery store in Belarus...
00:14:55initiated an increase in the representation of rapeseed oil in
00:14:58our retail chains so that people have
00:15:01the opportunity to freely purchase
00:15:04rapeseed oil, and not just one type,
00:15:08for example, but a variety, because in fact
00:15:11the assortment of rapeseed oil is very wide. And what, to what extent,
00:15:15for example, there is rapeseed oil with the addition of Provencal herbs, it is ideal
00:15:19for dressing salads, there is rapeseed oil
00:15:22additionally enriched.
00:15:37edible rapeseed oil is produced. Are there enough production
00:15:41capacities? How will we modernize or is modernization already underway? Let's talk
00:15:44about that. In fact, there are enough production capacities in the Republic of Belarus.
00:15:48Our oil and fat industry is actively
00:15:51engaged in issues of production
00:15:54modernization today. As an example, I can give the Minsk Margarine Plant.
00:15:58They are now implementing new
00:16:01equipment, a new line that
00:16:04will allow at the structural level
00:16:08to extract rapeseed oil molecules. Then this
00:16:10process will help
00:16:13in subsequent production of a product that
00:16:17will be used in the production of confectionery fats.
00:16:20Confectionery fats, as we understand, are certainly in high demand in our
00:16:24confectionery industry. That is, this is a complex
00:16:27line, but they are actively implementing it now, which will allow
00:16:30them to get a new product, even cleaner, so to speak,
00:16:34yes, and of course, all enterprises, when
00:16:36they increase production capacities, the main
00:16:40message of any enterprise is to maintain high product
00:16:43quality. Rapeseed oil starts from the fields. How do you assess
00:16:46the level of culture development in rapeseed cultivation here in
00:16:49Belarus? In fact, rapeseed is a strategic
00:16:53crop. Rapeseed oil is very important for ensuring the
00:16:57food security of the Republic of Belarus and for
00:17:01an active policy of import substitution.
00:17:04As of August 11,
00:17:0799.4% of winter rapeseed has already been harvested,
00:17:09and in the second half of
00:17:13August, our farmers will begin harvesting
00:17:15spring rapeseed. And if we talk about the level of development
00:17:19of rapeseed cultivation, how do you assess it overall? Is there room
00:17:22for improvement? I think that the process, of course, is not standing still.
00:17:25For example, when we hold various press conferences,
00:17:29when we inform the public about the benefits
00:17:33of rapeseed oil, selectors often speak at these
00:17:36press conferences, who talk about
00:17:39how far they have come, how
00:17:43the scale of rapeseed varieties is expanding, and
00:17:47the acreage of rapeseed is increasing.
00:17:50Therefore, they are certainly doing well, not standing still, implementing
00:17:53new technologies, so they are doing well.
00:17:56That's why, perhaps, they call rapeseed Belarusian black
00:17:59gold. Yes, that's right. If we talk about the popularization of rapeseed
00:18:02oil, in 2025, a project by colleagues from Omega was launched, a large-scale
00:18:06campaign to promote rapeseed oil among Belarusians.
00:18:10Is this campaign successful? What can you say? It is certainly
00:18:13successful, but not only thanks to our promotion, colleagues from
00:18:17Omega, because the Belgospishcheprom concern has been actively working
00:18:20for 5 years to convey
00:18:23to the population the benefits of rapeseed oil,
00:18:26and as you already said,
00:18:30together with the Ministry of Antimonopoly Regulation, the concern
00:18:33is conducting a promotion, colleagues from Omega. In 2025,
00:18:37we...
00:19:18Belarusians maximize healthy lifestyles, and
00:19:21rapeseed oil is ideal for
00:19:25supporting healthy eating, because, firstly,
00:19:28it is very beneficial in terms of a large
00:19:31amount of unsaturated fatty
00:19:34omega acids, such as omega-6,
00:19:37omega-4. It also has many vitamins, trace elements.
00:19:41Another feature of rapeseed oil is that it does not
00:19:44foam, it does not burn when frying and does not release
00:19:48carcinogens at temperatures up to
00:19:50220°C. It is also ideal for
00:19:54dressing salads, for deep-frying. Many
00:19:57housewives are now using it for winter preparations.
00:20:00It's one oil for all occasions, yes, it's very
00:20:04versatile, because the golden standard for consuming rapeseed oil is
00:20:08one tablespoon a day. Therefore, we believe that
00:20:11thanks to a set of measures approved by the government in
00:20:152025, and this set of measures was developed for
00:20:19implementation until 2030,
00:20:21we see that by 2030, on
00:20:25the table of every Belarusian, there will be rapeseed oil, because
00:20:28thanks to this set of measures, which, as I said earlier, was approved
00:20:32by the government, it allows us
00:20:35to replace sunflower oil with rapeseed
00:20:39establishments, including school canteens,
00:20:42and restaurants and cafes. This also allows
00:20:46us to change somewhat
00:20:49the culture of rapeseed oil consumption. That is, it is becoming more popular among
00:20:53athletes, among military personnel,
00:20:56among rescuers, firefighters, specifically in their diet, because
00:20:59in fact, its benefits are unique. It is also important
00:21:03to note how important
00:21:06rapeseed oil is for our enterprises. For example,
00:21:09Lidopishchekontsentraty, they have now developed a new
00:21:12recipe for potato puree and
00:21:15soup that does not require cooking. They changed the recipe to include...
00:22:20enterprises prioritize the diversification of export
00:22:23markets, so we are already present on many continents, because, as you know, Belarusian
00:22:26products are a sign of quality. Yes, yes, that's right. Anastasia Yurievna, I thank
00:22:30you for the conversation, it was very interesting and, most importantly, useful. Let me remind you that the
00:22:34questions of the "Events" program were answered by the head of the Department of
00:22:37Coordination of Supplies to the Domestic Market of Foreign Trade Activities
00:22:40of the Belgospishcheprom concern, Anastasia Skorobogatova.

00:23:58We are, perhaps, the only country in the world that survived a color revolution,
00:24:01an attempted coup, and a series of articulated hybrid attacks.
00:24:05We did not get involved in the war, although various centers of power are pulling us there.
00:24:08They call this the multi-vector approach of Minsk,
00:24:11the multifaceted nature of Lukashenka, but the result is a peaceful, clear
00:24:15sky, a well-groomed country, and a state of social
00:24:17justice. We do not give birth, we all go into the intelligentsia,
00:24:21but it's Lukashenka's fault that there is no one to plow the land. Well, he makes unpopular decisions,
00:24:25no one would invite anyone if we were ready to give birth
00:24:29to our own children, at least like our parents, not to mention the
00:24:32wartime generation, then people wanted to live, but we are
00:24:35on Bali, overseas shores, it doesn't work out, because of this, families
00:24:39break up, and children interfere with comfort. Topical
00:24:42issues, sharp questions, direct answers, the whole
00:24:45truth without cuts and politics without ties, with Evgeny

00:24:52TV channel.
00:25:09This is the Events program, and we continue: practicing
00:25:12joint anti-terrorist operations in an urban environment. Belarus
00:25:16and China are conducting a joint exercise "Swift Eagle 2000."
00:25:21The official representative of the Ministry of Defense of the PRC, Chengxi,
00:25:24emphasized that the maneuvers are taking place in Hubei province.
00:25:28Great attention will be paid to practicing intelligence and counterintelligence,
00:25:31seizing and holding key facilities. Chinese and Belarusian
00:25:35military personnel will also conduct operations on training grounds to clear the territory and
00:25:39subsequently hold it.
00:25:41The exercises will focus on topics such as intelligence and
00:25:45counterintelligence, seizure and defense of facilities, and also clearing
00:25:49and... The fourth joint exercise in
00:25:52Xining will help increase the combat effectiveness of the participating
00:25:56troops and deepen pragmatic cooperation between
00:25:59the armed forces of the two countries.
00:26:33In Belarusian, on the second day of school,
00:26:36journalists also came,
00:26:39and also, well, as you just asked
00:26:43me, what would be more convenient for me, to ask me
00:26:46questions in Russian or Belarusian, and I could also
00:26:49answer in the language I preferred,
00:26:52and as a result, I answered in Belarusian, and they asked me
00:26:55in Belarusian. So, it can be said
00:26:58that what I am now...
00:27:32current items made of reindeer fur, seal, walrus,
00:27:36leather and beads, traditional clothing and footwear, as well as women's
00:27:39handbags made from goose and duck feet and salmon skin.
00:27:43Special attention is drawn to Arctic snow goggles and a Koryak
00:27:46women's crafting knife. The collection was assembled for over 40
00:27:50years to preserve the cultural heritage of the northern peoples.
00:27:53When it happened that my husband and I left
00:27:57Kamchatka, I missed it. When I
00:28:01come, I start preparing the exhibition, I pick up
00:28:04these exhibits, I go to the girls, to the museum workers,
00:28:08smell it, how it smells. It smells of Kamchatka, it smells of
00:28:12a Kamchatkan home, of skin, of shoes, of clothes.
00:28:16Reindeer herders really need something to protect
00:28:19their eyes from snow blindness. Look,
00:28:22here there are some made of bone, made of
00:28:25wood, and everyone has
00:30:29In 1915, Chechersk received the right to
00:30:32self-government, the so-called Magdeburg Law. And
00:30:36at the same time, a special building was built for the Rada,
00:30:39a wooden town hall, which has not survived to our
00:30:42time. There is not much historical data about this
00:30:46monument. It is known that the town hall
00:30:49once stood in the middle of a vast square, had
00:30:52large clocks with chimes, and a guard stood on its tower,
00:30:56announcing the arrival of guests. Near
00:30:59the town hall there were market stalls.
00:31:04The remaining information often contradicts each other and can
00:31:07only confuse. It is impossible, for example, to find out how many floors
00:31:11the town hall had. All sources give different
00:31:15numbers of floors, probably depending on what
00:31:19each author understood by the word "floor." We do not know
00:31:22its original appearance, nor its author, nor the exact time
00:31:26of its construction. In 1772,
00:31:30after the partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Chechersk became part
00:31:33of the Russian Empire, and a year later, in
00:31:371773, the town passed into the possession
00:31:41of Zakhar Grigorievich Chernyshov. At the insistence
00:31:44of the Russian... year, and the construction of a new stone
00:31:48town hall began. The year of construction and the name of the architect
00:31:51are unknown. The building is now
00:31:54dated to the end of the 18th century.
00:31:57Also, three churches and a Catholic church appeared in Chechersk.
00:32:01The building of the Chechersk stone town hall
00:32:04is rectangular and two stories high. The
00:32:08roof is topped on the sides with four-sided towers with
00:32:11spires. In the center of the roof, on a raised
00:32:15drum, a fifth tower is installed, narrowed
00:32:18at the top. The windows of the first floor are rectangular, on
00:32:22the second - Lancet with an arched completion.
00:32:25The cornices are decorated with figured brackets.
00:32:29The towers on the roof are made of wood, but their decorations
00:32:32correspond to the composition and stone
00:32:35decorations on the rest of the building. This trend
00:32:38was observed in Russian architecture of the 16th
