00:00:00We are
00:00:03in Belarus for the first time and we are very grateful to you for accepting our delegation to
00:00:07rest at your Zubronok health center.
00:00:10Here you have a huge green forest area, and
00:00:14also a rich history of the camp, we like it very
00:00:17much here, thank you very much.
00:00:21Our children were welcomed by the Zubronok center very warmly and
00:00:24kindly, we like it very much here, there are many
00:00:27sports activities and projects, cultural and
00:00:31recreational, your nature is very beautiful,
00:00:34picturesque and cozy. The best schoolchildren from China came to Belarus for vacation, and
00:00:38we hope for
00:00:41cooperation between our countries. In total, this summer
00:00:44about 100 schoolchildren from the Celestial Empire visited Belarusian Artek.
00:00:48Boys and girls get acquainted with our culture and traditions,
00:00:51this is exactly how true friendship is born, which
00:00:55then turns into all-weather cooperation.
00:00:59Thank you, Stas! This summer, the Zubronok center hosts more than
00:01:02270 children from 10 countries, and
00:01:06even more news is on our website niupka. by. Stay tuned to the first channel.
00:04:48Iran is a very proud country that takes its
00:04:52information space very seriously. They allowed a Belarusian film
00:04:55crew in. This says a lot about their attitude towards
00:04:58our president, towards...
00:05:42their own, and the alternative is starvation and death.
00:06:03Hello, you are watching the program "Say, Don't Be Silent". In the studio, Svetlana Smolonskaya
00:06:07and Tatyana Shcherbina. And today we have a journalist from STV,
00:06:11Grigory Azarionok, as our guest. Grigory, good afternoon, hello. A journalist who
00:06:15needs no excessive introduction. I think that everyone else can add
00:06:19their own epithets. We meet
00:06:22in mid- August. This
00:06:25month has been quite significant in history on many occasions. Those who are older remember
00:06:28the events of
00:06:321991, when the so-called August putsch happened in
00:06:35the USSR. Just 29 years later, in August
00:06:382020, Belarus faced an attempted coup d'état.
00:07:42they reign, as they said in the 19th century, that is, he
00:07:46deals with current economic issues, political
00:07:50issues, military issues here now constantly from
00:07:53harvesting to the missile guidance system,
00:07:56so
00:07:58in this is his strength and advantage always over those who live by someone else's agenda, but
00:08:02nevertheless, nevertheless, as such a significant milestone, nevertheless,
00:08:05as an important stage of our state
00:08:08passing through these stormy events, when...
00:10:12as they say, went under the plinth, society became depoliticized, thank God, this
00:10:16is an inadequate, abnormal situation, when everyone imagines
00:10:20himself to be a foreign minister and an expert in foreign
00:10:23policy, and you wake him up at night and he will tell you what to do between Sudan and
00:10:27Oman. Depoliticization is precisely adequate, normal, when people
00:10:30go about their business, once in a while, every few years,
00:10:34making some political choice based on their own worldview
00:10:38goals. But as for worldview
00:10:41aspects, here, indeed, we need to work. We still have not
00:10:45eradicated this dull,
00:10:47slavish blind imitation, about which Griboedov said,
00:10:51"Lord, may God eradicate this spirit of dull slavery."
00:14:16Abkhazia, Ossetia, Karabakh, Chechnya, Donbass, all
00:14:20of this is still burning, exploding, being destroyed.
00:14:23When people ask me why I treat opponents of the government so cruelly, maybe
00:14:27it's time to forgive them, but their
00:14:29delusion, their Westernization,
00:14:32their, well, where they are leading is the death
00:14:36of millions of people, it's blood, after which our country will never
00:14:39recover. Therefore,
00:14:43this is my attitude. Uh-huh, well, lately more and more videos and comments
00:14:46are appearing on the Internet in which people
00:14:50living in Belarus, Belarusians, ask themselves, isn't it time
00:14:53to deprive them?
00:15:25on this topic, I just can't calm down, I need to urgently speak out,
00:15:28share my thoughts, what I think about all
00:15:32this. I, as a pure-blooded Belarusian, I am
00:15:35a patriot of my homeland, I...
00:15:37love my homeland, to be honest, I do not understand such people who leave
00:15:41their country, go somewhere else and cannot live peacefully, they
00:15:44spoil things, they do nasty things to their homeland,
00:15:48to their fellow countrymen, so if you do nasty things, then what kind of
00:15:51patriot are you, what kind of Belarusian are you? None. So
00:15:54if they are deprived, then they will do the right thing, it means there is a reason
00:16:37of life, our father always says this, when he, remember, told the Minister
00:16:41of Internal Affairs Ivan Kubrakov, a woman defended herself and, well, inflicted
00:16:45a fatal, so, wound on her husband, he says, why did you even arrest her, by
00:16:48law, as it were, of course, you have to arrest, but by justice, by
00:16:52truth, if she defended herself from a crazy rapist who beat her
00:16:56all the time, this is a very correct thing, the president felt it very much, he always
00:16:59tells judges and lawyers that everything should be from life, and not
00:17:03worship of the letter, this is what concerns the legal aspects, let's
00:17:06look morally. A simple person, workers recently
00:17:10received Geely from their father, people who brought a million
00:17:14tons of harvest to our homeland, who live honestly,
00:17:18who honestly raise children, who are the pride of our
00:17:21country, a working person, a peasant, he has the same
00:17:25color and the same form of passport as
00:17:29a scoundrel who calls for bombing our country, who
00:17:32calls for and actively does everything to impose sanctions, I'm not talking about the color
00:17:36but about... its equal significance
00:17:40before the law and before society and before the state, equal
00:17:43rights, equal responsibilities and so on, yes, they say that it is possible
00:17:46that if they are deprived, then we cannot apply our
00:17:50state measures to them, such as criminal cases and so on, yes, I think,
00:17:53nothing terrible, we had foreign citizens also sitting and also
00:17:56perfectly then exchanged and something else happened,
00:18:00so this is normal, I think it's not bad,
00:18:03so I am absolutely in favor of this initiative, I...
00:18:07I think that we have, well, probably not
00:18:11a title, but an order of honor, we have people awarded and
00:18:14they say that they are heroes of labor, we need to return the title enemy
00:18:17of the people, and the order of Judas again, yes, the order
00:18:21of Judas is an eternal story, nominally it exists, what
00:18:24should Grigory prepare us for now, so as not to oversleep
00:18:282030, which is generally already just around the corner, and do
00:18:32you notice that the enemy is not sleeping, right? They are already taking some
00:18:35steps, well, if you go to the trends there?
00:19:07such a powerful, stable thing, it all fell apart in a month, like a house of cards,
00:19:11because they were preparing, you relaxed, you bred
00:19:14corruption, you thought about well-being,
00:19:18Bashar's wife, beautiful, wonderful, educated in the West
00:19:21and he, a Western, so,
00:19:24dentist, I think, such a wonderful, intelligent person, and we want
00:19:28negotiations, and we want peace, and we want good, all the best,
00:19:32and they are preparing, they are preparing, so, they are gathering detachments, training,
00:19:35learning, then in a month it all falls apart, just as it
00:19:39was with the Soviet Union in 1991, with the Russian Empire in
00:19:421917. The war was going on,
00:19:46but the troops were outside the Russian Empire, and
00:19:49as it were, there were no catastrophes at the front, but everything collapsed inside
00:19:53the country, because the elite sold out,
00:19:55betrayed, because they wanted to go to the West or wanted some of their
00:19:59values and interests. In 1991,
00:20:02the elite betrayed. Now we need to carefully watch who is close
00:20:06to money. And who, for example, does not want
00:20:09teachers to settle in his residential area, in his residential
00:20:13quarter, because, you see, they paid
00:20:16for square meters for a view with swans,
00:20:19and something else. We need to look at all this carefully. The president
00:20:23constantly talks about this when addressing civil
00:20:26servants. He says: always remember where you came from, always remember who you were,
00:20:30and gives the example of Kamay, who was the head of the republic,
00:20:34a powerful man. Now, look, our man is modest.
00:20:37but he always supports us like this, and we will all become
00:20:41it one day, and we already are and never stopped being it,
00:20:44so we need to focus on this, the West
00:20:47is not society.
00:21:20means the multiplication of their assets, as they always
00:21:22did throughout history. How did they
00:21:26tempt Iran? The same way, negotiations,
00:21:29Obama conducted, everything was fine, wonderful,
00:21:32nuclear program, everyone met, and there was no one who would have wanted
00:21:36negotiations with Israel and the USA more than the murdered Ali
00:21:40Khamenei, there was no other person. We will probably talk
00:21:43about Iran today, but he was killed, then the country
00:21:47was bombed, destroyed. The West, this...
00:21:58it doesn't suit her that you would fit into her system somehow on
00:22:02some special rights, no, only destruction,
00:22:05only domination, so this battle will be eternal, uh-huh, well, we
00:22:09see now how in Russia on the eve of parliamentary elections,
00:22:12society is being stirred up, that is, what you just
00:22:15talked about, but what is the main lesson from Belarusian August?
00:23:50they will skin you alive, that there will be no beautiful, prosperous Russia
00:23:54of the nineties, now a new trend has started, you know, teenagers, teenagers
00:23:57suddenly like the nineties, they started filming to the song
00:24:01"Bound by One Chain", they started filming some mobsters,
00:24:04some kind of freedom, music and so on, well, this is a turn again,
00:24:08yes, young people are being pushed to
00:24:11some, they don't remember what
00:24:15destruction is, they don't even know, they didn't even witness it, they can't
00:24:18do it.
00:27:02there won't be, don't look at Ksenia Anatolyevna Sobchak, don't look
00:27:06at glossy magazines, you will have hard work, where you
00:27:10will earn your living,
00:27:12and that's normal, but then there are some things
00:27:15that allow you to be happy, it's love, it's
00:27:19family, it's homeland, it's
00:27:23self-awareness, two feelings, wonderfully close to us, in them the heart finds food, love for
00:27:26the native ashes, love for ancestral graves, we bear it based
00:27:30on will of God himself.
00:28:56the degradation of values. Do you believe that European
00:29:00civilization is indeed doomed to?
00:33:15that they will accept us somewhere, that they will
00:33:17recognize us as existing, as a sovereign
00:33:21state, as having the right to life. This system, the world
00:33:25system, they cannot recognize this. They have been saying
00:33:28since Roman times that only the hand of Rome,
00:33:31domination, absolute
00:33:33supremacy, this is what concerns them. Look, it would seem that they could have
00:33:37suffocated us with embraces, like in the 2010s,
00:33:40we recognize, some investments, everything
00:33:43is fine. All experienced marginals, everything
00:33:46is fine, with us gradually,
00:33:48gradually society, the management elite, everyone
00:33:52is already leaning towards that, everyone has
00:33:55traveled there, everyone has perhaps bought something there and so on, well,
00:33:59if you do this for another 15 years, then Belarus will fall to you
00:34:02like a ripe apple, no, they don't need this, because it would mean
00:34:05recognizing our subjectivity a little bit, only complete submission,
00:34:09only total destruction, that's
00:34:12when they will feel quite satisfied.
00:35:15proclaimed as their ideology. Borrell -
00:35:18the famous "jungle law" - this is an absolutely Nazi approach, this
00:35:22is an absolutely Nazi principle. They say: you can do whatever
00:35:25you want with Russians, and by Russians they also mean us. Kill girls
00:35:29in Starobelsk, destroy our
00:35:32bus with a drone, kill people
00:35:35in the border regions of Russia and in Donbass. They
00:35:39consider Ukrainians to be the same, so the fact that you are dying there
00:35:42doesn't particularly bother them either, on the contrary, it even pleases them. So they
00:35:46have already said it: you can do whatever you want with us, drive us into a barn and
00:35:50set it on fire, and all the human rights advocates will be,
00:35:53excuse me, well, that is, it turns out that we will always remain for them, no matter how
00:35:57good we are, we will still be natives to them, only also having
00:36:00the audacity to be born white, these are very important words,
00:36:03we are not just natives,
00:36:06we are a threat to them, because we are both Christians and
00:36:10white, but different, that is, a backup train on a
00:36:14backup track.
00:36:27you can put money at the forefront and profit at the forefront,
00:36:31they hate it terribly, for this they are ready to destroy,
00:36:34now, it would seem, we are already in ashes, we have already
00:36:38recognized their dominance, their social system,
00:36:42their economy and everything else in the world, and so on, but
00:36:45still, Russia, still, this did not start in 2022, but all these
00:36:49cancellations of athletes, all these sanctions, all
00:36:53these, the war in Georgia, which they
00:36:56provoked. So,
00:36:59yes, August too, the war in Chechnya, which they sponsored,
00:37:03already Yeltsin's Russia, which is lying
00:37:06under you, already a friend beat, and God bless America,
00:37:10finish them off, finish them off, destroy, we hate them,
00:37:13it doesn't matter, because there is always this alternative, which we
00:37:17talk about, our Belarusian system, our Belarusian president,
00:37:21who says that money does not define
00:37:24a person, but vital truth, and...
00:37:27"There is a sense of truth in the human heart," Lermontov said, and they hate
00:37:30it in itself, they cannot allow this, because
00:37:34sooner or later their peoples will say, "Maybe we should
00:37:37try that?" They will say this sooner or later, so the elite
00:37:41cannot allow this, so there will be. They said now,
00:37:44"strategic defeat of Russia," but that means the destruction of Russia.
00:37:48Grigory, well, perhaps we will not reveal a secret to you if we say that opponents
00:37:52are very closely following your work. In the spring of this
00:37:55year, when you...
00:38:28still they cry: come back, I'll forgive everything, that's why we have
00:38:31that, we have such an eternal eternal
00:38:35romance with them, eternal coming and going, ebb and flow, so alpha
00:38:38talk about the business trip, after the business trip
00:38:42a documentary film "Battle of Persia" was released,
00:38:46here's its beginning, let's watch.
00:39:09You called your team the only film crew from Europe
00:39:13in Iran, how did the Iranian authorities receive you,
00:39:16well, and was there any censorship on their part? Well, the only one because they
00:39:20only allowed us in. Iran is a very proud country that
00:39:24takes its information space very seriously, they...
00:39:57said they were very concerned, only the father expressed such a strong
00:40:01position, so we were accepted, yes, we were accepted in this beautiful, wonderful,
00:40:05huge, gigantic country, what is a metropolis of
00:40:0817 million people, Tehran, it's impossible to describe
00:40:12or imagine, there was
00:40:15no censorship at all, the only censorship was
00:40:19kebabs, we were fed very delicious food, yes,
00:40:22that was the only type of censorship, in your film,
00:40:26Iran is shown as...
00:40:57are being built on the outskirts of Tehran, they are all
00:41:00divided into district numbers of Tehran, this will be the twenty-first,
00:41:04well, completely new, completely
00:41:07well-maintained, equipped, somewhat similar to Minsk's
00:41:11sleeping areas, for this
00:41:13region, this is new for all countries, not only for Iran, but
00:41:17for all countries, but here there is a constant modernization, this
00:41:21development, here they constantly think about people, well, and you continue
00:41:24to believe Israeli or American propaganda that here...
00:46:10core allows society to maintain internal unity, this
00:46:13internal cohesion, and to develop
00:46:16despite the isolation, which has been going on for
00:46:20decades, well, there is a lot to
00:46:23talk about, but the most important thing they also often talk about is
00:46:27justice, justice, which they
00:46:31strive for themselves. When Western
00:46:34propaganda talked about Iran, it said, "Look at
00:46:37how beautiful the girls are there," and so on, but that was...
00:46:52horror, fear, bearded men, that
00:46:55was one district, all the others were not just
00:46:58poor, but terribly poor.
00:47:01It was a state serving British
00:47:05Petroleum, which was simply a security security company
00:47:09for British Petroleum, which pumped out all the resources
00:47:12from there, and then the revolutionaries
00:47:15of Khomeini came, just like Castro came to Latin America, and then Chavez,
00:47:19they said, no, this is all national, this is all. Everything should
00:47:22belong to the people, this is all ours in common. This
00:47:26justice allows them to achieve gigantic
00:47:30results. Well, how many countries in the world have built their own automotive
00:47:33industry? Well, some might say they copied Western models,
00:47:37but they did it, they made their own cars. All of Iran drives its own
00:47:40cars. Here you go, so,
00:47:44some corrupt Switzerland cannot do this,
00:47:47some Finland with its Scandinavian
00:47:50socialism cannot do this.
00:48:52Europe was worth losing cheap Russian
00:48:55energy resources, already hundreds of thousands of jobs
00:48:58at car companies
00:49:02are closing, people are losing their jobs, companies are leaving
00:49:06Europe? Yes, absolutely, but I think this is not even sanctions, it's not even
00:49:10a restriction, not isolation, I think such a task was set
00:49:13when, after all, who cut off Europe from
00:49:16Russian energy carriers? Russia was not against it, Russia is probably
00:49:20ready to sell now. Let's take a short break,
00:52:09Azarionok, shaped the meanings of state
00:52:13journalism in the nineties, you are doing this
00:52:16in 2020. What is the fundamental difference
00:52:20between the challenges facing Belarus then and
00:52:23now? Well, I hardly form them, I think I'm trying to grasp the meanings that
00:52:27our president broadcasts to the world, to society, and this is
00:52:31a gigantic task, why? Because
00:52:35we still, probably,
00:52:38find it difficult to understand the path
00:52:41when, despite everything, when everything was already ordered, everything
00:52:45was already done and paid for, all the elite was already standing here and
00:52:49everything was divided, everything was decided behind the scenes, but suddenly one
00:52:52simple man, a simple man
00:52:56breaks the great plans of all these
00:52:58corporations, geopoliticians,
00:53:01oil magnates, so everything.
00:53:35in conditions of constant threats and severe pressure from opponents
00:53:38first of all, yes, what for you personally is the main
00:53:42internal source of faith in
00:53:45the righteousness of your cause?
00:53:49We live on our land,
00:53:53we are building our state with our
00:53:56faith, with our temples, no matter what confession they belong
00:54:00to, but these are ours,
00:54:02so we are building our own. society, we are building
00:54:06our own future, we have our own government, you know,
00:54:09sovereignty, many people like sovereignty, independence, there, in
00:54:13Ukraine they shouted about independence, eyes bulging, so, they sing a hymn,
00:54:17yes, they are not slaves, and we see it, yes, yes, so they are under the West so
00:54:20much that no vassalage
00:54:23dreamed of it, no khanate, slavery, no yoke dreamed of how they
00:54:27are under the West, that's why sovereignty is sovereign power, it's when
00:54:31the power here makes decisions, the decision-making center we know is in Minsk.
00:55:09your vacation, shaving your beard,
00:55:13coming to us from the forest, as always it was bright, to
00:55:17the point, sometimes harsh and even uncensored, but as it
00:55:20seemed to me, fair, and we see that
00:55:24despite the fact that 6 years have passed, Grigory has not deflated,
00:55:27has not disappeared anywhere, has not vanished, well, and as
00:55:31Alexander Grigorievich said, probably correctly, that if it were...
00:59:32The Editors' Club, Western vaccines are somehow
00:59:35correct, while Russian ones are not. All
00:59:38these vaccines were launched, let's say,
00:59:41into production and use almost
00:59:44immediately. We will still see the consequences. What
00:59:47happened with Covid is a story exactly about the preparation of the
00:59:51United States for possible biological warfare scenarios.
00:59:55Of course, any feed additives, any
