“Written with a pen you cannot cut with an axe.” Belyaev - about the championship of wood picking among journalists

Belarus hosted the V Championship of wood picking among media representatives. His opinion about this event in the talk show “Budni” on the YouTube channel “SBTV” and “Alfa Radio” shared political scientist, candidate of historical Sciences Alexei Belyaev, writes sb.by.

According to him, this event is unique for world practice.

“Belarusians prove that written with a pen can not be cut off with an axe,” the political scientist joked and added: but you can try.

First, this event is part of professional team building among journalists, Alexey Belyaev noted:

- People come from all over the country, they see each other live, and human competitions spur professional excitement. It's a very rallying event. Secondly, it demonstrates that our journalists are strong people who are not afraid of hard physical labor. Such demonstrations that we are in good mental and physical shape should be periodic. It is remarkable that the President has once established this beautiful tradition and continues to support it.

He drew attention to the main prize - the axe of the President.

- This axe went to the winning team - "VoenTV". A well-deserved victory. But I would like the winners to change, so that other journalists gain experience not only in verbal and media skirmishes, but also in such a good competition. Of course, this is a very positive event, which, I hope, will continue and become a unique good tradition of the Belarusian media, the analyst concluded.

The talk show “Budney” is released on weekdays on the morning air of “Alfa Radio”. Each issue discusses the most relevant topics from the life of the country and the world. Political scientists, scientists, public figures and journalists of leading media participate in the discussions.
