Onair weekly sociopolitical talk show in essence, today we will talk , of course, about the results of a single voting day, the first in the history of sovereign belarus, because it is more interesting to see from different sides how it was and what it will mean for us, that is, how we will live further in the next 5 years, we will discuss the upcoming president ial campaign, well, in general, as always, we will talk to the point, you can join our program, there is a qr code at the bottom of the screen, please point your smartphone screen at it, write on youtube their comments, questions, we will try to answer them as part of our broadcast, well, on the right is a link to our telegram channel, where you can find out about what we think and how we live, Kirill Kazakov and alena syrova are working for you in the studio today, hello, good evening , well , yesterday we summed up the results all day, in fact , we all worked a little on air yesterday. Someone worked in the information center, and almost everyone i see here on the site, i saw yesterday either on a telegram channel, or on a tv channel, or heard on the radio, or in some way i i know what opinion was expressed, because in fact, we worked quite a lot yesterday, and the conversation about how the elections went, it was summed up almost every time, because any press conference of the cyclist, and this was information, it was what this is such a certain rubicon, well, in the end we still. Journalists discussed the main news, despite the fact that the single voting day is elections to the house of representatives to local councils, yesterday at 11 oclock the president did the most for journalists the main statement is that he will run for president again in 2025, and this was probably the most Important News that all the journalists picked up, in fact, this is the story with this story that the journalists spent all day yesterday, well, we still need it. Well, we had more than 36 thousand National Observers from Political Parties and leading public associations, on the days of early voting there were somewhere around 1214, on the main day we increased a little, 29 National Observers worked, well, taking into account their rotation of course during the day, and well, we do not have the right to accept written complaints, i am at the public Election Observation center, we received calls and appeals. Citizens, through a telephone hotline, through a chatbot of a telegram channel, mostly these were various kinds of private situations, which our generally National Observers note is that today the commissions have already learned so well how to conduct elections that there are no such organizational issues it was, everything was in order, organized on places, in normal mode, some moments , as i said, are private, but they can always happen, because there is a human factor and so on, somewhere they forgot to add someone at the place of registration to the lists before. And why can you vote without a passport , without a passport you can vote, well , you need a personal identification document, that there were no documents at all , they were offended by that or they said listen, well, we lived in this village, grew up, everyone knows us here , let us vote without a document, well , even the head of state presents documents, mikhail evgenevich, you watched the elections, so to speak, without bias and from the outside, after a single day of voting, not as biased as. The us state department, we call it in belarus today, mr. Lebedev visited alexander lukashenko, later a general conference took place there, observers said your opinion, well, well still ask your private opinion, what were your impressions, if possible, well, its clear that our relations are allied, but still, perhaps you can voice some nuances, maybe Say Something personal, what alarmed me or something it seemed like it could be improved. From a personal point of view, i would immediately say, kind people , there are good, humane relations everywhere, at any polling station, in any commission, you just walk on the street, people are all kind, sympathetic and helpful, this is probably a feature of belarusians in general, but in elections it also manifests itself that the second can always be noted, after all, this is not my first time in elections in belarus, well, my experience is definitely more than 10 years, and maybe more, i am like that. Probably since the thirteenth year, when i came to elections, i came in different quality, in this case we were invited together with a colleague from st. Petersburg and a colleague from novosibirsk, as regional commissions, we were invited by direct invitation with the consent of the Central Election Commission of russia, by invitation of the Central Election Commission of belarus, that is, we had our own special status , and there were several more missions, i. The interparliamentary assembly, the csto and the sco, this is what they note, firstly, how do these International Missions differ from these International Missions, for example, from the same odihr, the parliaments of the cis countries a model law has been adopted, a model. Established new rules, you actually chose the law for the first time, yes, the code, which on a single voting day, which, as it were , was also quite a serious burden for members of precinct commissions, territorial commissions, and what can be noted is that the professionalism of the electoral bodies of belarus is very strong, but you have a tradition, a tradition of conducting everything in an organized manner, with respect, and here, everything is very clear here, why . Because the election mechanisms in national republics, any national republics over the past, well, approximately. 4050 years, the United States has been using it as pressure on its other colleagues, so i believe that for belarusians to determine whether the elections were held correctly, to recognize the results of the election or not to recognize the results of the elections, it is legislation that is the basis, the implementation of this legislation, the basis for the elections to be for themselves, how our elections went in general, we can say that he. Turned out to be wrong, today mit, well, in fact, he trolled well, all this understand perfectly well, but for our legislation, we really came up with something that i dont know, hurts the ears and hurts the eyes for the american government, or what . Well, it probably hurts the ears and the eyes, rather, its that everything went clearly, organized, coherently, and despite certain concerns that we had when we made the decision to merge the company for local elections, local councils and elections to the house of representatives. That is, the most complex Technical Companies are medium in technical complexity, but with a political component, indeed, the volume of the load that fell on the shoulders of the members of the election commissions is colossal, however, today we can talk about this for sure, the commissions coped with this load, and the savings that we got as a result of the merger of companies, say, reduction that period of vulnerability of the state, which always happens. There is politicization during the election campaign, of course, all kinds of outside interference, that is, we in general , everything succeeded, everything is very great, today we are now working on we are already clarifying the data so that on march 1 , at a meeting of the Central Election Commission, we can approve the results of the house of representatives, register the elected deputies, the house of representatives, but we are already talking only about minor adjustments, we already have preliminary data. The most important thing is how our voters will feel about the elections, how they will be affected by the elections that we organized and held in our country, and how they will personally, through each, lets say, experience, and their problems, feel the results of these elections, for us this is the most important thing, and we will defend this, but the fact that the millers are there, they will put pressure on us economically, politically, they will put forward all sorts of complaints to us on a variety of topics, because their task is to waste money every day the lives of our own citizens for the irresponsible attitude towards their sociopolitical life at the time of the elections, we remember how many people stood on the maidan and we see today that, well, according to the most maximum ukrainian estimates, up to 5000 stood there, and they are paying for this maidan today, all 42 Million People living there, many of them cannot be returned; they are in the ground , so what they say there is what assessments they give us here. Us in this matter, their task is to defeat, to weaken others, to win in this fight, and the main question was answered very well today by the head of the mission, Sergei Nikolaevich lebedev, right . Which citizens, perhaps, have not yet had time to identify within the first term, they have identified it right now, by the way, many, it must be said, are identifying very actively, well, this is one of the minuses about them we also need to say, very actively at meetings, but when it comes to specific agreements, so to speak, when we say, lets meet at such a time, in such a place, we will discuss these issues with you in detail, then many, so to speak, leave, because there is also a certain, lets say such a well in the political society, look sergei, the president today said 87 of belarusians support. Lukashenko, the fact that there is such a turnout in local elections is a combination with parliamentary ones, or is there still some kind of, i dont know, reflection from the twentieth years that we have to, thats also what the president says, by their actions, those who fled, on the contrary, they provoked people to be rejected from performing this civic duty of theirs, ill go. I will vote against them, i agree with you, first of all, this is, of course, revenge of our belarusian population about what happened in the twentieth year, and three factors can be identified why our citizens showed such a high turnout and came to the elections, in firstly, from my point of view, this is such a unique democracy agreement that has developed in our country, we have been working towards this for a long time, we relied only on our state construction experience, and in the end we received a consensus on the basic issues of our life. Well, surely, maybe we communicated with each other and discussed these points . You know, here you probably need to ask the question differently, of course you need to ask those who are in the media, who went directly to the elections, and what their motives were, i didnt ask them directly, ill say right away, but the question is probably different is that. Ours voters, when before the elections, when we held various dialogue platforms, explanatory conversations, we, just as part of the work of our knowledge society, actively met with specialists at enterprises, with civil servants, Law Enforcement agencies, the question. Believe me, was its not that, let s all vote, we know some media personalities there, but we ll go for them, the belarusians and. So that he can resolve the issue locally, you know, one thing you can choose is some political one, now is one moment, a political scientist or media personality, but he can speak beautifully in front of the public, but he will not be some kind of manager, or solve any issues, but he can raise and convey a problem, but he has a fashionable word for this, but plus we said yes, lets return again to. Creative issues already, right . How does it usually happen here . By the way, we also discussed this with citizens during the campaigning of our meetings in that our person, well, it just so happened, this is a statement of fact, i am stating it, begins to evaluate the law only when it has already been adopted, although he has every opportunity to influence it, including through his deputy, because we publish all laws in advance, long before we begin to discuss them and ultimately adopt them, but it is difficult for a person to take , spend your time personally. To read, subtract, and according to some laws, we understand this feature of our society, we take them, these laws, what we do, we also have such a beautiful form that is unlikely there is, and not hardly, but 100 , it is not in these democratic states, we hold open dialogues, open conversations, take these laws, go to the citizens, say look, pay attention, here it will influence you like this, here it is like this and here it is like this, and this is again ours the political tradition that has formed in the young belarusian state, which we are also proud of today, because we are moving. Remember the social studies that were just published on the eve of the single voting day that almost 40 of the requests from our voters to candidates for deputies, it was just a solution to some everyday issues, and the topic related to the discussion of lawmaking, it was somewhere around 25 . That is, an important issue is emphasized here. That our voters, our citizens , in reality, in the Current Conditions need to increase their own level of education, and understand that this is not some separate process, so they elected deputies, they left and how they sent them into space, we talked about this, the city council and the house of representatives , they seem to be doing the same thing, but yes, mikhailaevich, can i offer you an outside view, maybe it seems to you, it will seem a little sharp, but. Imagine, in the grand scheme of things, what belarus is, today it is fighting like the brest fortress for survival, for new traditions , maybe the population has changed their attitude towards fairy tales that they believed about a bright future, about certain types of democracy, when everything went there, there is nothing here, maybe thats why the population, in conditions of, well, excuse me, a strong confrontation, is beginning to realize it is rising. This is the activity of voters, it is the activity of voters that shows that this is important to the people, it seems to me, well, ill even add a little, we have had a lot of conversations about what is not being done enough. Society to participate in deciding the fate of their country, yes, when we adopted changes to the constitution, amendments to the constitution, many people said that this constitution will grow, that is, now its possible, we are not quite ready for this, but later time it will work as it should, and i absolutely agree with you, and the fact that there were a lot of young people at the polling stations, by the way, a lot of people voted early, this suggests that people care, globally about this. And i think that the position of the head of state also greatly influences, then, that the president constantly says that we must look to the future, we must look to the future, yesterday my colleague drew attention to the phrase of the head of state that i am the outgoing president , because this is such a sobering phrase for very, very many, because what are we all we understand that sooner or later the moment will come when. Generations, then here it seems to me that his words really touched that caring part of the belarusian population who values their independent, sovereign belarus, in which they grew up and which they love, well, this is an opinion from young people, well, by the way, by the way, young people look at things quite pragmatically, and today they have quite a lot of examples, again, thanks to these things that you also have in your hands, examples of our negative , in fact affairs, these are blood brothers in the southern ukrainian. Deputies, yes, that is, in any case , this is already a paradigm shift, thank god that it exists, vadim nikolaevich, we have a lot of young people, i worked as observers, this is also a certain fashion for volunteering, they, for example , somewhere at a sporting event, but here they come and get involved, well, in history, social studies, politics, and this also touched on the same president ial elections next year, well, because we all Work Together differently they have been built up a little bit when we say that the constitution is there to grow, well, lets be honest. I recalled the test conversation, other projects, and government agencies, and public organizations, the security council, our Law Enforcement agencies, well, you must agree that in recent years we have been working differently with young people, i was at one of the universities, i told them directly, i say, i i envy you why they ask, because im telling you, before our student years were the peak of some kind of meeting with someone famous, it was a meeting with a minister education, famous Alexander Mikhailovich radkov, today i say, young people have so many opportunities to meet with. Various experts, political scientists , we constantly go there, tell them, and young people s horizons expand, they grow inside, and in their understanding of what is happening in the world, when the Law Enforcement agencies tell you what is happening at the borders, what they are preparing for, what risks, internal external, then they have a different attitude towards their country and their family, well, of course, all this gives results. Heres a question for you, many have said that this composition of the parliament will be different, it will be stronger, more powerful, in general, it will be directly in the spirit of the times, more mediaoriented, this goes without saying, i think all journalists appreciated it, what can you say, this is how you assess the fact that there will be even more bright colleagues like you , its very good and this parliament is really strong, well, first of all, lets not beg the merits of that parliament, that convocation where we are still working with sergei mikhailovch, because that convocation went through unique events for our country, different events , in fact did not flinch, did a lot and adopted a lot of bills that made our country much stronger, this convocation, in my opinion, differs from the current one, the most important condition is which people went to the elections you. Your candidacies, that is, people understand perfectly well that there is a hybrid war going on in relation to the country, people perfectly understand the responsibility that will lie with parliament in accordance with the new constitu
