Bright choreographic performance riveted the eyes of passengers and charged with positive. On the eve of an important state holiday, it has a special meaning, said Ilona Polovinkina, Head of the Department of Ideology and Social and Cultural Work of the Belarusian Railway Department:

The flash mob is held on the eve of an important, significant date of our country - National Unity Day. Right here, in the center of the capital, we meet passengers and guests of the city. It has become a good tradition to hold such events on the Belarusian Railways, so this year we decided to please passengers again on a special date. About 80 people were involved: employees of the organization, veterans, representatives of creative teams of BZD. In particular, the children's team of the House of Culture of Railway Workers Orsha. National Unity Day is quite a young holiday, but for us railway workers, it is an occasion to once again tell the whole country: we are united and ready to work for the benefit of our native Belarus, preserving and passing on our culture, traditions and historical memory from generation to generation.

Chairman of the Council of Veterans of the Belarusian Public Association of Veterans Anatoly Krivchik gave the railway more than half a century. In 1955, he came with his schoolmates to the Children's Railway, which opened at that time, and immediately realized what he would devote his life to:

- Everything went through on the Children's Railway: he was a walker, a switchman, an operator, a station duty officer and a shift manager. Then he graduated from the Brest Railway Technical School and returned to Minsk. My first job was as a travel worker. Later he graduated with honors from the Belarusian Institute of Railway Engineers, after which he worked as a road master, engineer, head of the road laboratory, chief engineer of the Minsk Way Distance, secretary of the district committee of the trade union. The work biography is very large.

For many years of professional path, active work in the veteran movement in 2012, Anatoly Krivchik received the Order of Honor, among the awards of an experienced railwayman - numerous medals and diplomas. National Unity Day is a special event for him:

- The holiday reminds us of the solidarity and great price that Belarus paid for its independence and desire to go its own way, the importance of living peacefully, friendly and attentively to each other, the need to protect our country.

A pupil of the Children's Railway Valeria Pashkovskaya is one of those who took part in the flash mob. The girl is 17. He plans to connect his life with BZD and feels in this vocation:

- Six years ago, I went to the Children's Railway with my mother. I knew it was mine. I talked to the instructor and decided to take action. In the future, I would like to try myself in the role of a station duty officer, to work as a conductor. I am even more inclined to the second profession.

Participation in the flash mob is a familiar format for young people who work on the Children's Railway, the girl noted:

- We often attend cultural events, exhibitions, support different formats. Not a single significant event of the capital passes by us.

The young railway woman shared her opinion about the upcoming state holiday:

- National Unity Day is not just a date for my generation. It is a fact of community and cohesion. Nothing global and beautiful in this world can be done alone, and together we are a force. Veterans also participated in the flash mob today. Looking at them, I feel really proud. They put a lot of effort into their success. I want to take an example from them and achieve a lot in the profession.
