00:03:21My authority was confirmed by my voters when I became a deputy,
00:03:25people say that deputies drive Mercedes with flashing lights
00:03:34normal systematic work in the parliament, but we should not
00:03:38turn the army into some kind of sanatorium,
00:03:41there should be no excesses in the armed
00:03:44forces, if young people are like that, it's not their fault, it's our fault, we
00:03:48need to work with them, when I remember the events of 2020
00:03:51and the statements of Mr. Macron, yes, there
00:03:55about democratic approaches, about free will
00:03:58expression, about... inadmissibility of violence, all about
00:04:02this, his phrases from 2020 just pop up in my mind,
00:04:06what I think, I gloat, but there is a significant difference,
00:04:09that our protests were organized
00:04:12from outside, their protests are
00:04:15protests of their own people and from within, it doesn't matter where
00:04:19this drone lands and it doesn't matter from which side
00:04:22people
00:04:24die, from one or the other, it's
00:04:28really a tragedy.
00:05:06drive Mercedes with flashing lights
00:05:10have you acquired
00:05:19react to stupidity? we, probably, every day face
00:05:22some, everyone, probably, faces -
00:05:26ordinary human stupidity, when a person doesn't
00:05:29think about anything, just
00:05:32repeats a phrase that he once heard somewhere or
00:05:36some established narrative, not attaching any importance to it,
00:05:40that's why I usually treat it with humor, thank God, every day
00:05:44I am not asked such questions, my neighbors,
00:05:47who see me in the entrance, at home, who see where I live, what I
00:05:50drive, so I am not asked such questions every day, but the thing is,
00:05:54all deputies work in electoral districts,
00:05:57meet on a regular basis
00:06:00and often with collectives, with people,
00:06:03somewhere when monitoring prices, in stores
00:06:06they talk to people, well, there, well, at least to me, and to others
00:06:10in between, so to speak.
00:06:42it's interesting how those they elected live, well, of course,
00:06:46if today I take this opportunity to tell a wide
00:06:49audience for our country, I will say that deputies do not have
00:06:53flashing lights, because there are no cars, it's
00:06:56inconvenient to carry the extreme flashing light with you if just like that, yes
00:07:00there are several official cars, I honestly don't
00:07:03even know how many, because I only once
00:07:06had to use this car when I had to fly abroad
00:07:10for a business trip as an observer for elections.
00:08:45Of course, discipline, discipline, well, you can,
00:08:49discipline is such an all-encompassing word, yes,
00:08:52our president often talks about discipline, discipline in
00:08:56production, personal discipline, some
00:09:00social discipline, discipline towards
00:09:03oneself, yes, discipline can be broken down further
00:09:07into responsibility, ability to perform
00:09:10tasks, so if you take it. in a word - it's discipline,
00:09:14of course, of course, I, like any
00:09:17officer, worked with people all my life,
00:09:21or rather, like most officers, worked with people, at
00:09:2417.5 years old, when I was
00:09:27appointed squad leader, my first
00:09:30subordinates appeared in the military academy, well, later,
00:09:34going through different positions, there were only more of them,
00:09:37people are not the same, people are all different with their
00:09:41characters, with their peculiarities,
00:09:44conscripts, who are
00:09:48subordinate to you, officers, who are
00:09:50subordinate to you in different positions, whether you are a platoon
00:09:54commander, company commander, deputy battalion commander or in my
00:09:58case a detachment commander, that is, but your
00:10:01task is to unite all these different people
00:10:04with one goal, besides training, yes, and so that all
00:10:08people with different thoughts, with different characters, with
00:10:12different... worldview, you must teach them,
00:10:15train them and bring them to such a state that they must
00:10:19perform one task as a single unit, as
00:10:22a subdivision, this is well...
00:11:58went, you must clearly tell people, we will try this,
00:12:01we will do this, we will try to
00:12:05solve this, and I cannot tell you about the result, because it does not
00:12:09depend on me, this is for the future, well, and so on, that is,
00:12:13people must understand clearly, probably,
00:12:16well, in my case, how many practically I
00:12:19visited, no, not practically, I visited all large enterprises, now
00:12:23I have already reached enterprises...
00:13:01colleagues, with parliamentarians, here what
00:13:04skills, you can insist on your own and say, I
00:13:08believe that it should be
00:13:17deputies consists of two parts, yes, this is the general deputy
00:13:20team, this is the team, there
00:13:23are serious people who have passed. all good school,
00:13:26achieved good
00:13:29results in previous activities, and those people in whom
00:13:33collectives believed, because as a rule, these are professionals in their
00:13:36field, but in the
00:13:39deputy field, that is, we have a team,
00:13:42but you see, there is a solution to issues, in
00:13:46solving issues, each deputy has
00:13:50his own opinion, personal opinion, which he brought from
00:13:54his region.
00:14:25you understand, how everything depends on
00:14:28how
00:14:30much you are supported by Asnold or
00:14:34how much, yes, well, somewhere in the West it's called factions, you brought
00:14:38an idea and say, let's do it this way, I explain simply,
00:14:41deputies are sitting in the commission, another says, let's
00:14:45do it this way, well, they start to prove that this is
00:14:48good, this will be even better, there is also
00:14:52an expert opinion, yes, these are people who... from
00:14:55specialized ministries, because not only deputies participate in
00:14:59the adoption of laws, experts are always
00:15:01involved, these are primarily specialists
00:15:05from specialized ministries, this is the scientific
00:15:08community, public opinion is always
00:15:11studied by these deputies, this
00:15:14symbiosis, it boils, boils, everyone proves something, we
00:15:17achieve something, sometimes it happens immediately, for example,
00:15:21after the first or second meeting, but...
00:15:25and sometimes it's very long processes, for example,
00:15:29it can take 7-8 months of disputes and so on, they say that
00:15:32sometimes that we don't see you on TV, you just sit there and
00:15:36decide. The fact is that
00:15:40all this kitchen, all the work, we
00:15:42have our own political mentality in
00:15:46Belarus, yes, we have our own political culture developed
00:15:49during this sovereign independent Belarus, we
00:15:53don't engage in
00:15:56political populism, as politicians, deputies and
00:15:59officials,
00:16:39commissions, and people ask such
00:16:43to see you arguing,
00:17:08and we have normal systematic
00:17:23work
00:17:27in parliament, there are disputes, there is sometimes some
00:17:30good anger, for example, when you, well, you just
00:17:33couldn't, you did everything, but you couldn't prove your point, all this exists.
00:17:53with a clear conscience, when I go out in front
00:17:56of the collective, I can say that,
00:17:59friends, yes, I don't hide my gaze, I wasn't
00:18:03appointed here, not sent, this is an elected position.
00:19:04transformations, the first after 2020, by the way,
00:20:07criticize, but at the same time, probably,
00:20:11such a format allows for a more understandable delivery,
00:20:14than, excuse the expression, whining,
00:20:18and, that is, this is already the third transformation,
00:20:22when, already in the position of deputy, well, I comment
00:20:25on some events that are happening, what is being discussed on TikTok, specifically in
00:20:29our space, I mean, on the territory of the Republic
00:20:33of Belarus, maybe in Ukraine, in Russia, abroad, with our neighbors, that is.
00:20:37I have no goal of doing this, well, that's just how it is, I
00:20:41saw news today that interested me,
00:20:44I was walking to work somewhere, an idea was born in my head, I
00:20:48commented on it, roughly speaking, so... you have to restrain yourself,
00:20:52you understand who you
00:20:58discuss this topic, that the army today
00:21:02is a kindergarten, these are your words,
00:21:05here you need to understand correctly, not to snatch out of
00:21:08context, and this I quoted
00:21:11the words of the fathers of children
00:21:14who serve, with whom I communicated, these are not my
00:21:17words, this is a quote.
00:21:50kindergarten, correctly, if I didn't
00:21:53have, I had a washbasin, like
00:21:56many, in the academy, who studied
00:21:59there in the nineties, before the nineties, there
00:22:02was normal cold water running, and there was no talk of
00:22:06hot water at all, if you wanted to
00:22:09wash yourself additionally besides once a week in
00:22:11the bathhouse, there was a coiled hose lying in almost every washbasin,
00:22:15you put it on this faucet and showered
00:22:19with the hose. Soaped up, rinsed off with cold water and nothing, alive,
00:22:22healthy, like millions of other men who went through this
00:22:26school, now they have shower cabins in the
00:22:30barracks, washing machines, how did we
00:22:32wash ourselves, threw it on the floor with laundry soap
00:22:36smeared it, took this floor polisher, with which
00:22:39they washed the floor, just similar, yes, with a floor polisher right on the
00:22:43floor, then drained, rinsed, hung, sometimes
00:22:46even put it on myself, wet, squeezed well, put on a greatcoat over it and dried it.
00:22:50in this way from my own warmth, you understand, that's why then they said that the army is
00:22:53a school of life, now the army, well, that's how it should not be, we should not
00:22:57remain in that, but I have always been a supporter,
00:23:01hot water should be, I agree, we must
00:23:04improve, washing machines should be, all this
00:23:07should, but we must not turn the army into some kind of sanatorium,
00:23:11there should be no excesses in the armed
00:23:14forces, there should be everything strict and severe, so far
00:23:18nothing superfluous, just people who... there is no quiet
00:23:21hour anymore, the
00:23:24thing is, for people of my generation and
00:23:28before, what I told you about, yes, it's just an example of how we
00:23:31washed and did laundry, and there are mass of such examples,
00:23:34right now it seems that these conditions are
00:23:38hothouse, so they call it a kindergarten, but we cannot remain in
00:23:42that, we must improve, well, we must
00:23:45improve, but if you have to live in the forest
00:23:48for years, well, then...
00:23:57that an officer, that a soldier, well, that's it, although when they live in field
00:24:01conditions, there is no difference, they must be
00:24:04ready for this, and how to prepare, if
00:24:07now to create really like sanatorium conditions, then when
00:24:11they have to plunge into that atmosphere, where
00:24:15they will have to overcome the hardships and deprivations of military
00:24:18service, then the soldier officer.
00:24:50in sneakers with Velcro and doesn't know how to tie shoelaces, well, what will you
00:24:53do, well, that's why they say that now we need to treat, not
00:24:57teach, I would not say that we need to
00:25:20Nikolaevich, why did we used to send men to the army, so that they would become
00:25:23men, now they go to the army, they don't become men, let's discuss this topic in the
00:25:27next part,
00:26:06a year in the army, two, or do we become men there?
00:26:10Well, we weren't talking about that, we were talking about
00:26:19and always the same, let's summarize, that is, for
00:26:2210 years young people were different from each other, but in principle
00:26:26not like their older generation, that
00:26:30now everything is the same because
00:26:32of the society in which it is, and how
00:26:36we, if young people are like that, it's not their fault, it's our
00:26:39fault, we are to blame that they are like that, that's all,
00:26:43so there's no need to blame young people, they need to be worked with, and they are
00:26:46the same as 10, 20 and 30 years ago
00:27:02think, there weren't such people before? Well, believe me, in the nineties
00:27:06they came, I will directly quote you,
00:27:09Comrade Senior Lieutenant, I have a "wowka" here, what do you have
00:27:13here, well, "wowka, wowka" - what is that, a "bolka", I say, so you
00:27:17scratched yourself,
00:27:19so what, do I need to rub it with ointment, you understand, well, what do I need to rub
00:27:23here, look at my hands, we maintained the equipment together, also all
00:27:26scratched up, you understand, and there were such people 10, 20 and 30
00:28:02young soldier going to war, if there is no
00:28:06defense against a drone, but if you can't dodge it
00:28:09in any way, if it, well, wait, there are always ways, there are no
00:28:13hopeless situations, there is no
00:28:16100% effective counteraction to
00:28:19drones, but there are various countermeasures, that is, it can be
00:28:23shot down with a pump-action shotgun, anti-drone nets can be stretched,
00:28:26well, I won't go into detail about that, that is, there are countermeasures, electronic warfare
00:28:30works there, that is, there are countermeasures, but
00:28:33100%, well, we must understand that, as in
00:28:37everything, the drone is improving and
00:28:40its countermeasures are improving. Back in
00:28:432010, the first time I conducted classes with the chairmen of district executive
00:28:47committees, I asked, well,
00:28:50one head
00:28:54of a military-industrial enterprise of our military-industrial
00:28:57complex, to show prospective samples, back then in
00:29:002010 he showed the first one... well, it wasn't the first, but he showed
00:29:04a drone, it was even controlled not with a joystick, but with a computer on
00:29:07a small table, it flew up to three kilometers,
00:29:11at most, maybe even, everyone looked at it as just a toy,
00:29:15and they mainly saw its use in reconnaissance, that is,
00:29:18a unit is moving, a drone is sent forward, it flies and conducts
00:29:22reconnaissance there, and now we see it as
00:29:26a strike force, and a very serious one, but along with these drones
00:29:29their countermeasures are also developing, the fact that there are no stops...
00:30:33into territorial defense - this is the second major component, people
00:30:36are mobilized, they are obliged to go
00:30:39there, then to the people's militia
00:30:43a person is not obliged to go, he goes there by
00:30:47his own will, this is the first, that is,
00:30:50his own will, secondly, that
00:30:53the requirements for health in
00:30:56the people's militia are minimized by age, yes, requirements must be observed,
00:31:00because people... will have
00:31:03medical indications, mental state, especially, because people will
00:31:07perform tasks with weapons, but in principle, if you feel
00:31:10confident at 70
00:31:13years old, then... you will be taken into the people's militia at 70
00:31:17years old, well, there's no need to give examples, we know them from our own
00:31:21history, yes, about our partisans,
00:31:24our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, how these
00:31:27men of seventy or sixty years old, sometimes
00:31:31older, could fight, so the people's militia -
00:31:35this is first by personal desire, second, there are essentially
00:31:39minimal health requirements, well, and you said in some
00:31:42interview that there are enough volunteers, right?
00:32:45there was a related civilian specialty, then train
00:32:48him as much as possible in a related civilian
00:32:52specialty and give him a related specialty in the armed forces, if not, just give
00:32:56him a specialty, then assign him to a military unit, taking into account all
00:32:59characteristics, exactly the same work is carried out in territorial
00:33:02defense, here in the people's militia, well, of course,
00:33:06preference is given to people who
00:33:09have served, preference is given to hunters,
00:33:13because they know the terrain, they don't know the forest rangers, for example, if
00:33:17these are elderly people and are not subject to conscription, that is, of course,
00:33:20some set of knowledge and
00:33:23skills, it is always important
00:33:26when performing or in the future performing some tasks,
00:33:30yes, so of course, well, if a person knows how to handle
00:33:33a shotgun, knows his area like the back of his hand,
00:33:37in which he will be, then of course, well, if there is
00:33:41a person who does not have these skills, then there will be a choice
00:35:15on his own land, on one person lies
00:35:18this responsibility, because he led
00:35:21the country, he led, it's clear, he was let down
00:35:25around him, and they sang praises and advised,
00:35:29but as our president says, I am
00:35:32the president, I am responsible for every person here
00:35:36in this country for everything that happens here, if you take
00:35:39the principle of a real president, like ours, a real
00:35:42man, like ours, then this... person is to blame for
00:35:46everything that is happening now, in his own
00:35:56the true path, whoever was interested in at least
00:35:59a little external politics remembers Zelensky's election program,
00:36:02this handsome, wonderful, amazing guy who
00:36:06spoke Russian as if nothing had happened his whole life, I defended
00:36:10the right of Ukrainians to speak, he defended
00:36:13the right of Ukrainians, that is, he was normal.
00:36:15But in my opinion, when he
00:36:19sat in the presidential chair, we know all the politics of Ukraine over
00:36:23the past years, it has never been
00:36:26independent. 10-15, or even
00:36:2920 years, there were always some advisors, American, some
00:36:33others, what they advised him, he
00:36:37lacked the courage to defend the position of his people,
00:36:41not the interests of those who advised him, so maybe he
00:36:45went to the elections not to defend the interests of the people, but to fill
00:36:48his wallet? Here you need to delve more into the political career
00:36:52of Comrade Zelensky, which is extremely short, in fact, yes, because he
00:37:04he made good statements at the beginning, those from the election
00:37:08program, well, a little bit cloying,
00:37:11but in principle it has a right to exist, yes, that is, it's very similar to
00:37:15the program, that someone
00:37:19recruited him
00:37:22specifically to bring Ukraine to such a state, yes, but
00:37:26what's happening in Ukraine.
00:37:57Okay, despite the fact that he makes sour faces sometimes,
00:38:00here, yes, he shed tears, everything is fine, we
00:38:04can see, and these are normal shots, not fakes,
00:38:08confirmed by foreign media, where
00:38:12they visit shops, what his wife buys, what real estate periodically,
00:38:16I'm sure, this is only just appearing for Zelensky, for Zelensky everything
00:38:20is wonderful, but today he is immobile in this financial
00:38:57his phrases from
00:39:05yes, his last statement, we will act harshly,
00:39:08we will stop all this, we are watching how the
00:39:11police act towards their own population, and at
00:39:14the initial stage now the demographic
00:39:17spectrum of protesters
00:39:20has expanded, at first these were schoolchildren, they were beaten,
00:39:24killed right before their eyes, schoolchildren there.
00:39:27Here, I'm a little bit, to be honest, humanly speaking, we are all people,
00:39:42Macron is putting on a brave face, yes,
00:39:45talking about constitutional order, and so on,
00:39:49well, he should have remembered it then and expressed his normal
00:39:52opinion regarding Belarus, when the
00:39:55protests were happening. But
00:39:58there is a significant difference, that our protests were organized
00:40:02from outside, their protests are from within,
00:40:06these are the protests of their own people and from within, it's not
00:40:09only in France, this is already spreading to
00:40:13Belgium, it already felt like it could be announced, like, you know, at a parade,
00:40:15now a column of students and schoolchildren from
00:40:19Greece is coming out to protests, well, because otherwise
00:40:23it's not the same I don't perceive it.
00:40:27So maybe it's not from within, but from without too, you
00:40:31know the theory, that the USA, well,
00:40:34has an intention, but that's also another
00:40:38conspiracy theory, to
00:40:41weaken Europe, let's put it this way, now there's a redistribution
00:40:44of the world order, every state,
00:40:48or coalition of states,
00:40:51this is a perfectly normal natural process, trying
00:40:54to extract benefit from all this for its own state. elections
00:41:28of this whole show, they're like, well, they have such a political
00:41:31system, so they
00:41:34act like showmen, they make loud statements, but that
00:41:38doesn't mean that's what's actually happening.
00:43:10we travel less often, but there's enough newsreels of various
00:43:13footage, news, and we'll see what Europe has turned into
00:43:16in just a decade in the last 5
00:43:19years, the migration crisis, these migrants
00:43:23walk around there just trampling on indigenous people, already
00:43:26indigenous people in their own country have become aborigines, the standard of living
00:43:30significantly falls,
00:43:32social guarantees for the population, which in
00:43:36Europe were always considered such a, well, a highlight, right, there.
00:43:40the level, for example, of the same street maintenance, everything, before we
00:43:44used to say, oh, how beautiful it is there, how it's the same, what's on the shelves in stores,
00:43:48usually for an ordinary person you don't need much there, right, all
00:43:52this has gone into oblivion, all this, of course,
00:43:55outrages the people, and the people ask, why, and
00:43:58there is one answer, that we support Ukraine, we must
00:44:02help, they like stubborn rams repeat this day in
00:44:05and day out, we will support, perfectly understanding that they will never
00:44:09defeat Russia. but money goes
00:44:12there, the standard of living at home falls,
00:44:16people tell them on the streets what to do, but
00:44:48Military-Political School, but the union collapsed, and you ended up in
00:44:51Minsk. And how did this moment of personal choice against
00:44:55the backdrop of a geopolitical catastrophe affect your attitude towards your
00:44:58homeland?
00:45:01Well, after the Riga school, when it was disbanded,
00:45:04I studied at the Military Engineering and Space Institute named after Mozhaisky in
00:45:07St. Petersburg. then
00:45:10I
00:45:13didn't even transfer, it would be wrong, I translated the word incorrectly, I was expelled
00:45:17and reinstated at the Minsk Higher Military Command
00:45:20School,
00:45:32people began, in principle, not all, but mostly
00:45:35to return to their republics, that is, to their
00:45:38countries, it was already... clear that what
00:45:42was, would no longer be in the near future
00:47:47how many geopolitical twists and turns we have
00:47:50already experienced, I mean.
00:48:33of course, then patriotic feelings prevailed among everyone,
00:48:36Ukrainians for Ukraine, Belarusians Russians, that is, then such a
00:48:40disunity occurred, right, we didn't stop being friends, we didn't stop
00:48:44communicating, well, somehow everyone for
00:48:47themselves, everyone for themselves became more like that, yes, because for the union, well,
00:48:51it's right when it's easier to...
00:52:05in Ukraine, in Latvia and in Lithuania, yes, there
00:52:08in Poland, there, everything that is around us there literally
00:52:12exists. Of course, we are on such an island
00:52:15now, some kind of floating island, but this stability is
00:52:19security, and thanks to the president and his
00:52:23policy and thanks to the government and the parliamentary
00:52:26corps, thanks to our people, who work, that is, all of us
00:52:30Belarusians, we manage to preserve.
00:52:33this, well, the president says a shaky peace, yes, but we
00:52:36we manage to maintain it, sanity, because
00:52:40as you said, everyone used to be friends, and now it's impossible to read
00:52:44social networks, how everyone hates
