Maybe something else, but since my family loved and love sports, i do nt think there were any other areas that i could delve into and love as much as hockey. Journalists joke that the only guys born in stasias family are hockey players. What is it, genes or a good role model, i suggest you find out. Today my guest is the captain of the minsk hockey club dynamo andrey stas. Andrey, hello. Hello. Well, lets start in order. Since childhood. Its true that you came to hockey because of your senior. Brother, how was it . Yes, i came to hockey, my father brought me into hockey because of my older brother, and he played for the National Team for a long time, and played for a long time in america in germany, and looking at him, of course, to me it was mine childhood idol, what is the age difference between you . So, well, 14 years turns out to be decent, so yes, it was already approximately for you. Of course, of course, well , as usual, there is always competition between brothers, and now sport has been added to personal relationships, but how do you feel about being compared to your brother . Yes, im absolutely calm, especially since i cant say that theres some kind of competition or something else, seryoga there, well, hes much older than me, yes, and yes, thats why i always turned to him there for advice on hockey matters and. By somehow everyday, thats why i never felt any competition between us or anything like that. How did your relationship with your brother change as you grew older . Yes, in fact, they havent changed much, yes, the only thing there is, we actually always talk a lot about hockey, and every year we are now coaches, and every year it seems like more and more we. There was no skype there , wifi there and so on, yes, it all came later, and we communicated only by letters, in fact, and some rare calls, because the calls were insanely expensive, but somehow it is clear that in the seventeenth, 18, 20 years there it is difficult to break into the major leagues, and there in the nhl, that s why it is clear that seryoga had every penny there on the account and there are some rare calls, of course, but. It would be nice to hear, but my mothers letters are still kept at home, all this is such a family heirloom, when he came, of course, it was such an event, and definitely with gifts, of course, so i was waiting for him like santa claus, and i know that many parents of athletes are fundamentally they dont go to their childrens matches and dont watch live broadcasts, they worry. Here are your parents, do they go to your matches . For all the matches, both mine and seryogins, i also have a nephew, one, and a second nephew. Parents always go to all the games that are possible, they get sick, and dad passed away there, unfortunately, in 1920, but mom always watches there now and looks after her grandchildren, fortunately now even some childrens broadcasts are broadcast on youtube , yes, thats why he always watches and worries. Just now you said that brother, nephew, you have a whole Family Dynasty of hockey, and so it is, you brother, two nephews, also decided to play hockey, yes, yes, yes, they are already tightly, tightly. Got hooked on hockey, so to speak, but here the question arises, it was your idea, and in fact too, when i think it has a very strong influence, when you go to games from childhood, then the love of hockey is somehow instilled by itself and not even, let alone force, there was never even any talk about whether you would go to training or not, it was always just yes, only more, and if only there would be if. School appeared only for me to study only for hockey, but how do you look at sports successes . Oh, of course, of course, of course, you always want them to be better, to be angrier at sports, so that they can do better, well , were working on this so that everything works out for them, and you dont try to dissuade them, well, maybe offer some other activity, but nothing from hockey, i have one son who is a goalkeeper and. And i tried to dissuade him from playing in goal, thats because in his own field in fact, it worked out well too, so after i say stand, okay, on the goal, he took a tennis ball, i think, let me throw it a little so that it gets hot, he thinks, hell think, no, i dont need that, he threw it like that, and also, i think, well, thats it, yes, theres no chance, even after. What you do on the field, that is, to subordinate your own , yes, yes, absolutely, some of your personal ambitions, your personal desires, you must relegate to the background, the teams result is in the foreground, well, sometimes you still need to take the initiative yourself, maybe absolutely exactly, this is a game, everyone makes mistakes, only those who do nothing make mistakes, yes, this is a standard phrase. Its important that this risk is justified, thats all. Still, getting back to your family, there are guys in your family, they are all hockey players, is this what it is, genes, or is this a good example of the elders for the young . I think its all together, yes, genes, and example, and, well, i repeat, yes, this is probably due to the fact that from a very early age, if you take it. I came to the stadium, i knew that i had big brother, i was proud of him, im proud of him, and i want him too, so he took me to the locker room, introduced me to all the hockey players there, and of course, this left a huge imprint in my memory, in my life, so it was like such an additional incentive, and the desire for where i want to be, i know that as a child you studied in a class in which there were 33 guys, it was a special class of hockey players, well, its probably very difficult in such a serious male company, to lead, to prove yourself, and. Well, at first i studied until the fourth grade in my area. There in the eightyfifth school we still communicate there with the director and teachers , some of them have a very very cool emotional atmosphere always when you get to visit them, and then the twentythird gymnasium on the prospectus, i can say that our class valetelnik had a very hard time with us today i cant even imagine honestly how much ive grown up a little bit now. I realized that how she dealt with us, how she smoothed out all these sharp edges in front of each teacher, loved each one in her own way, this is of course a low bow to her, but how with academic performance was in the classroom, yes, actually training, but no, its clear that something also left its mark, that there wasnt much time, so, but at that time there were no phones, smartphones there, yes, that is, all of these toys and so on. That is , in order to play something, it was necessary for someone to have a playstation, and they needed a tv, there, i dont know, theres some kind of room or youre going to visit someones apartment there , that is, it was not all in your pocket and you sat down at any time, admit it, andrey, in we often fought at school, i cant say that im really some kind of super conflicted, yes, yes, on the contrary, ive always been such a puny one, but. Theres half an hour to change clothes, somehow warm up, training, 8, 8 30, i think School Started for us, yeah, until two, thats it , actually, youre free, like that, yes, yes, yes, that is, you came, did your homework, every time at 5 in the morning when you get up, of course, that at 8 you are already dying, and you are already sleeping, from your class of hockey players, many have become famous players, who has achieved more success, is it difficult . To say, well, what i know yes, about five or six people probably played in belarus, and sanya koratkevich, a very talented guy, was given a chance at dynamo, i remember he was with me at dynamo, there for a year, six months, thats probably all, well, that is , actually 33. Guys and well, this is to talk about the fact that all the parents who now take their children to hockey, so that they have huge expectations, its clear that every parent thinks that his son is the best, that everything will work out for him, and god forbid there is the nhl there and there the khl and something else, but we need to soberly evaluate chances are that its actually very very complicated. A path in which most likely nothing will work out, lets say, that is , well, this must be understood. I know that when you won the gagarin cup as part of the omsk avantgarde, you brought it to your home school. Why was this so important to you . In fact, it was a very cool coincidence, i dont know, this definitely happens once in a lifetime, but. And sister, this sisters husband is a physical Education Teacher at School Number 85, and he says listen, come on. He too pupil of youth and we were there in chezhovka, then we went to gorkovo park, it all ended with a sports palace, that is , we spent my day, lets say, on hockey palaces, we spent his day on bringing the cup to School Number 85. Well, that was probably it event for school, but absolutely, yes, such a very warm, cool memory, most athletes admit that when choosing a sport, they make a sacrifice, first their studies, then their personal time, then to some extent their life, what kind of sacrifice do you think about for the sake of sport do you still regret it . A difficult question indeed. If i honestly dont regret it, i havent regretted it for a minute at all, that i went into sports and theres something i cant do, i dont have enough time for something, but maybe im older now, i have some kind of desires, yes, some hobbies have appeared, lets say, and i will definitely implement them there when i have time for it, but at the moment i definitely dont regret anything, its a great idea.

Belarus captivated them at first sight, the first in general, probably, when you get to the republic of belarus, you are impressed by the cleanliness, first of all, the cleanliness, neatness, now having lived here for 7 years, i i understand that this is, in general, the merit of people, such hospitable people, well, you dont always meet who are ready to give you everything, such a soul. To dynamo minsk, this is already your third return, well, as they say, god loves the little ones, but why did you decide to return to your homeland . Im really grateful that everything turned out this way, both to the leadership of chelyabinsk, and the leadership of dynamo minsk, the option of returning to my homeland appeared, and i gladly accepted it, thats why, i think, all parties only. Won from this, what has changed in dynamo since your absence, the locker room changed, yes there, and the boys, the staff, someone changed there, he knew everyone, its just that they worked at different times in different clubs, yes, someone changed someone there in dynamo, management has changed, coach, coach this year, yes, new ones, in fact, since. More every year, well, not every year, but practically every 3 years, in every club there is something similar there is a dependence of the result, it of course it changes, and the composition has also been updated, well, of course, a lot of young guys have appeared, talented, well, now you have an additional burden, because you are the captain of the team, this is what you are obligated to do, well , first of all, its very nice that you were entrusted with the captains stripe, right . Can you also clarify, is the team captain an elected position, or is it appointed by the Club Management . Its always different, but in our case it was me who was appointed, yes, that is, as i understand it, the head coach, the management. Well , yes they are, they somehow look and trust, to what extent does the team captain play a key role . Difficult question, but not for everyone will put it, you need some, obviously, well, you need some qualities, probably, yes, yes, then you need to know when someone is under someone, of course, he is inside and its easier for him. Here is the leading link, in general, in general, there is a feeling like a political instructor, ahead behind me, but what about some emotional critical moments of the game, youll have to take the initiative yourself and somehow lead the team, maybe, well, including, among other things, this is the responsibility of the team captain, and of course, after unsuccessful matches, hockey players are subjected to such harsh accusations from fans, are you taking the defeat hard . In fact, it happens that its so painful, especially when the result is not, well, not according to the game, everything is clear, when you ve been outplayed and youre okay with it , youve worked on your mistakes, moved on, when its not according to the game, there are such games , when the result does not correspond to what actually happened on the field, this is probably the case. I am most sensitive to such losses, and what is the situation going on there, well, yes, why is that, why didnt it work out in our favor there and so on, criticism from fans, well, if its constructive criticism, then i agree, but in most cases, yeah, when its an emotion, somehow, well, yes, especially after the game. So they shout out their attitude, yes, of course, when if someone shouted something out there or said something, wrote something, and so on, of course, if you take this person, sit him next to you, tell him everything, what and how, of course, he will change his mind, thats it, but you cant do that with everyone, so its normal, in general, fans influence the course of unsuccessful matches, how do you recover . With age, you try, you go beyond the threshold of the palace, you try to leave everything in the palace, because well, if you start after every game there is lost, and to harass, there is, as they say, yes, then well, nothing good comes from it it will work out. And what is the most painful and offensive loss for you so far . In the conference finals we lost. We played with ka, we won 3 0 in the series, and lost 4 3, the series, it was, i dont know, i dont know later, probably six months i just walked into space, i didnt understand how this was possible, and what, what were the reasons that this happened, but it was Worth Winning one match, everything, yes, it was Worth Winning one match, we are in the final of the gagarin cup, and then peter won the cup against kazan. Well, but its more offensive than this, what else can be compared, more offensive than this , well, its difficult if you take also the National Team, yes, the qualification in minsk, which was, the decisive match with the slovenians, we lost 0 2, tied 2 2 and in shootouts lost, didnt go to the olympics, youre 35 now, according to statistics, most hockey players retire from the sport at the age of 3539, does this mean that you are already thinking about retiring as a player . To be honest, i dont feel like myself. For his age, again, i repeat, i think that he is kind of big, so in fact, i dont think about it yet, but as long as i have health, i will try to keep myself at the same level, but are there any. Then thoughts about what you are going to do after completing your professional career, what is closer to you , i dont know, business, politics, coaching work, to be honest, yes. I havent even thought about it yet, but probably, like any other business except hockey, if you want to be successful in something, you need to immerse yourself in this process, so for now i have everything thoughts about hockey, and what will happen next, we will figure it out along the way, we talked about the fact that sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the sake of sport, but do you have any . Some secret desire that you could not fulfill due to the fact that there was no time, but which you will definitely fulfill, like only time will appear, recently, but i dont have enough time, i really love technology, there are cars, motorcycles and so on, and i just dont have enough time to work on my motorcycle, to finally pass my license, thats it. You can ride it there at least once a week. Our program is called the meaning of life, for you, what is the meaning of life . Well, probably enjoy life, yes, here do some good deeds, for which you will later feel so good at heart. Leaving behind something so good, kind, thats probably it, well, of course its necessary sit down to think carefully, yes, but in general terms its Something Like this, well, thank you very much, thank you for inviting me, this was the meaning of andrei stas life. There is a main line for the anglosaxons to maintain global dominance, the only way to maintain global dominance is a war in europe. Indeed, preparations are underway, the majority of the poles really dont want to fight, but its one thing for the population, another thing for the elite. In order for a gun to line up, it must first be loaded and hung on the wall, and in order to start a war, you must first accumulate weapons, accumulate armed forces on the border, and then some trigger can lead to the outbreak of hostilities, its not for nothing that our president says that yes, we are preparing, including for military operations, we are not going to start them ourselves, but this the only thing they understand is that if we, within the framework of a union state, demonstrate an unattractive model for external partners, it will be weak, it will disintegrate,
