I came to belarus from moscow uh before that i worked in the ministry of Foreign Affairs in Horse Department. And when it arose the opportunity to get to belarus in general, i never thought about it, but what i read, what i saw in the films, first of all , the brest fortress. And of course i couldnt. I agreed to refuse such an offer and did not regret it a bit, belarus amazed me with its vastness of people. History is about how people relate to history and definitely the decision to change the region. As part of my work, in my opinion it was right in belarus. I came for the first time to my shame. Maybe because before that the scope of mine interests, both professional and academic. If you can, so to speak, she was, of course , directed to the far east to northeast asia, so the arrival in belarus it was such a cardinal turn in my destiny, and i knew a lot about the country, especially since my relatives and parents came here , and in general a lot and heard and watched and read. Well, probably the main thing that has always been said in russia is that there are very clean good roads, wonderful products, wonderful people. This is all true, but there are many other interesting things even, when we chose belarus e. One of the main aspects, in addition to cultural and other proximity, was precisely the territorial proximity, the fact that moscow is close and you can always visit the parents and parents of friends of relatives. And exactly. Uh, probably whats missing. Not enough. E, as always, on any business trip there are not enough close people who are at home, but fortunately we can always meet with them, therefore, in this regard, belarus compares very favorably with most countries where they worked, to which 10,000 km from home houses. Very close to here on a business trip. We moved with my family to grodno not without reason. They say that this is an open air museum. There are a huge number of preserved ancient buildings of museum institutions. Now we are in the castle complex. This is a new castle right next to the old castle. We love walking here as a family. We often bring delegations here. Grodno lives in history. Here, uh, a lot of historical buildings , museums, probably the largest number of museums that i have seen in any city. U in belarus so here there is always something where and what to learn new . About the country and the history of the world the history of europe, including in december 22, the consulate general of the Russian Federation was opened here in grodno there is still a lot to be done, but at least a corner of russia has appeared in grodno where we are always glad to see our fellow citizens practically in the kaluga park on glossy street, house 2 2 and the place was chosen very carefully. This is really the center of the city, but at the same time, such a quiet, Peaceful Place that is conducive to walking there are a large number of garden parks around , a lot of work remains to be done to establish a fullfledged functioning of our foreign institution. Now we are working in such a slightly reduced staffing and only a certain range of consular services, but i am sure that soon we will build a wonderful building here and will be happy to provide the full range of Horse Services to our citizens and citizens of the republic of belarus and all guests who come to the grozny region and need our help. We are too eh we try to help as much as we can. Improve the city. Not only the territory of the consulate general itself, but also the territory around it , there is already a beautification project, and the surrounding adjacent territory and, on the eve of victory day , we organized an action together with the Representative Office of cooperation in brest. Uh, garden of memory, its an International Campaign to track down 27 Million Trees. Uh, in memory of the 27 million who died during the great patriotic war, and the action has been going on for the fourth year and more than 100 Million Trees have already been planted. Eh, exactly this number of 27 million is planted every year. We also, er, took part in this action. And with the help of city officials. Right in front of our consulate general. We put up our memory garden, which is already listed on a virtual map. These are international stocks. We planted about 20 trees. It is on this square, which will be improved in the future and will be , uh, a whole square is laid out. We hope we talked to the city authorities and thought we might call it a public garden. Friendship planted 20 trees. These are pines and larches and christmas trees. And even, well, for me, at least, the new plants are crazy. E, there e in the distance. This is such a tribute to my far eastern past. Its always very colorful. Well, they also wanted to bring. Here are some colors in autumn. Forces can defeat a weaker opponent, but with the mind you can defeat anyone rival. I have a very serious one, but we will win with our heads and play with our heads. I hope it will turn out. The academy of which club is lamasia sergey barcelona in our program, the participants will fight for the victory, answering questions. How much speed . Decipher the abbreviation uts. Nastya than at the Training CampTraining Camp we can play either know our clips of the sports hero know ours.

If you look carefully, you can still see the traces of the masters fingers, they say that thanks to this unique technique, part of the glacier managed to survive the old estates and majestic cathedrals.

Rivers, and today the sea is kneedeep to me here, this phrase takes on a special meaning in the center of the reservoir shallow water, see the program of the city of belarus on our tv channel. I am not seven diplomats, but my father worked ministry of Foreign Affairs. And i guess it somehow predetermined my fate. Probably, as it all happens to everyone, somewhere , probably by accident, but as we know in our life, all accidents are not accidental. Eh, i did. E, moscow state university. Eh, i studied korean language in the korean direction, and after uh, graduating from the institute , i probably had little choice either to go to some commercial structures associated with korea or some Academic Circles to do science. Uh, or i had a choice. Uh, get a job at the ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is basically what i did worked. In the first department. Almost immediately he was sent on his First Business trip to north korea , and not drunk. Ah, the northernmost province in north korea is the northern hangyeom city of jeongn, where i spent almost four years. There, in general, even married and happy. We are still living. And after that he returned to moscow. Again he worked in the korean direction, uh, in the political department. Uh and in the tenth year uh, i was offered uh, to go to south korea to the city of busan, this is our southernmost point where we have our presence on the Korean Peninsula. So, in general, i have traveled all over the Korean Peninsula of the north. Uh, after busan in 2 years. I have been transferred. E to the post of head of the Horse Department of the embassy in seoul, and until the fifteenth year he worked in korea, namely in the connor direction, so there was a choice for me. I just returned to moscow, uh, came to the consular department, where i worked before my arrival, uh, to the republic of belarus came to belarus i did not feel that i had come somewhere abroad. For me, usually you always come on a business trip abroad. You begin to study the customs of some rules of the host country. Here, this stage was skipped, because we think the same way and thoughts. I dont see belarus as straight. Heres some kind of business trip abroad. I came to brest in 2019 in the summer and had an idea. Eh, even then it was in the air to open. E, consulate general of russia in grodno the fact is that e consular the constituency general district of brest included both the brest region, the grodno region and the grodno region. We have, according to local Law Enforcement agencies, somewhere around 11,000 russian citizens. Uh, the main task of the horse institution. Naturally, to provide assistance and support to protect the legitimate rights and interests of our citizens. Abroad and all these 11,000 citizens needed our help. Uh, they had to issue passports and some certificates to certify powers of attorney, and the distance from brest to grodno, in general, maybe its not that big, but the logistics are quite complicated. And a lot of people just went to minsk because its both closer and more expensive to use, and it was then that the idea was already there to open it. E our equestrian institution is exactly in. Grodno well, the idea was in the air. In general, it was far from being implemented, and in 2022, this idea arose again, was supported by the ambassador of the Russian Federation, Boris Vyacheslavovich gryzlov, and was supported by the president s. E of our countries and within the framework of the forum of the regions of russia and belarus, which was held in grodno, in his video message, president of the Russian FederationVladimir Vladimirovich putin announced that the decision to open a new equestrian institution of the Russian Federation in the city of grodno was made and the task was set to open the consulate general precisely before the end of the year and december 28, last year, and in the presence of e. Representatives of the ministry of Foreign Affairs. Uh, the governor of our ambassador was hoisted the flag uh over the task, and on the street a gypsy. Since then we have been working. The first reception of citizens. Uh, we didnt put off too much and 9 january immediately after the new year holidays. Weve already uh opened our doors to our first visitors. Eh, since then. Uh, we have a weekly appointment. Uh, until we have completed all the technical procedures, and we cannot provide a full range of Horse Services, we provide them in such a slightly truncated form. This is a passport application. This is a certificate of no criminal record. This is notarization of documents, well, except for the power of attorney from wills, and uh, twice a week, we receive citizens today. We have already uh visited about 1. 000 citizens. We have issued about 300 passports. Uh, in general, maybe within the framework of belarus this is not such a large number, but i believe that our presence here is in demand by people. They come asking when we will provide other iconic services. We always say that we are doing everything in our power to make the consulate general fully operational as soon as possible and, uh, we will continue to do everything we can to speed up this process. Greetings i wanted to say that this Cultural Center has become denominator. Our history is not short yet. The story of our consulate general is here in february of this year. We held our first our first event. The first Photo Exhibition dedicated to the eightieth anniversary, uh, of the battle of stalingrad. The exhibition of belarusians in the defense of stalingrad really had a special success with us, because this year is our jubilee 80 years since the end of this battle. And, of course, it is you who are especially interested in this, and our residents, the guests of the city, were especially gratified. Watch how the older generation came to our center and with a notebook, literally on record, i walked through the stands and wrote down the information that was posted there, but the Younger Generation did not go here, and to such an extent they did not. It was interesting, then we received a lot of feedback on the subject of having this exhibition. Extend this project is even the first, but certainly not the last. We have, uh, ideas for future projects. We will work actively to please the residents of grodno with some new expositions, interesting timed to coincide with our significant dates in russia and belarus hello hello how are you doing physics . Well, fine, lets go. I wanted to introduce my family. These are my companions on all business trips, my wife alina maxim and daughter alisa, we were together in south korea and now we are happy to move to belarus in the city of grodno. Today we were here, we are in the kaluga park. This is for us. E. Well, thats it. E, a place of power, or something, we love nature for people, some kind of spiritual component of the place. Yes. And where and what could be more spiritual than a church of the xii century, which breathes history. Generally . Uh the same uh, the situation we have formed in brest where is our favorite place. Eh, it was a garrison temple. E on the territory of the brest fortress. We loved there very much, to be for a walk, to go into the temple there, and in grodno we found ourselves. Well, if not a replacement, yes, then a similar place where we feel free and can relax our souls. My wife and i met back in our college years. Uh, i studied korean, she studied japanese and in general, and we planned to enter the ministry of Foreign Affairs together, but the harsh rules of democratic life are such that one goes to business trip as a diplomat, and the other accompanies him in general. Alina donated her dermatological career to me for our family. For which i am very grateful, given that it was a students years of ambition, of course, beat, over the edge. It seemed to me all the time. Well, we can both work. Well, japan korea also 2 hours of ice is just, well, the decision was made as a result. Together and i never regret it, wife. This one is more rear. Its more of a family home. And of course, if there is an opportunity to help, i am always glad and business trips. If there is an opportunity, e prove yourself in the working field. I take advantage of this opportunity on all business trips. Uh, after the wedding. We were together. We got married in north korea on a business trip. Actually from the second business trip. We brought a younger child, of course. Its very interesting, the younger you are, the more interesting and you perceive. Its easier with each subsequent business trip , the move becomes harder, because perception is one thing for two people and another thing when you already have them. My Children First impression. Belarus when we moved to brest it was that very clean and bright. We moved in the summer and , compared to moscow, it was pure svetlo, as it were , more pleasant when we moved. I went to second grade. And as i noticed here, uh, people are much kinder, any person can take it easy and help himself. And in principle, it is very beautiful here in many places compared to moscow, this was all new to them
