Andrei Mukovozchik comments on the most emotional events of the week, which caused questions from our readers

The most emotional events of the week, which caused questions from our readers. We addressed them to Andrey Mukovochka.

The Chinese man was lost in Minsk and could not be found because of the language barrier. The driver of the trolley bus, to which he appealed, helped: showed where to go and where to go next. Touched to the depths of his soul, the foreigner wrote his gratitude in Minsktrans. Andrey Nikolaich, do you often take part in strangers who have problems?

Yeah, read it every time! “Minsktrans” would already be able to receive thanks by mail if I gave their address to everyone! But I am saving – and my personal data to the shore, and them.

In this story, I would especially mention the woman-driver who proved that nothing is impossible for our woman in the Year of the Belarusian Woman. As long as the trolley is on hand.

Helping people – we still do it. It's normal for us, of course. And all because our society resists Western atomization, the soul of the people does not accept bourgeois egoism.

They have the “Burden of the white man”, we have the “Man to man is a friend, a comrade and a brother”. They have extreme individualism, we have talaka, team, collective.

Belarusians and Chinese have established “all-weather and comprehensive strategic cooperation”, which at the everyday level means that no matter what trolley bus Sineokoy gets a citizen of China, he will always be helped to get to the stop he needs.

And knowledge of languages, girls, for such a business is not the most important knowledge.

In Belarus, the first remote operation was performed: the doctor controlled the robot, which performed the procedure, from a distance of 30 km. What do you think of such high-tech interventions?

Immediately I want to refute the skeptics: and tickets to get there, the doctors had. And the car was at the door. And there was gas in the car, too.

This kind of operation is a breakthrough, because, in addition to medicine and surgery, robotics and information technology were involved, and the quality of communication was required accordingly. In Belarus, technology is so developed that it is not a shame to boast even in front of the whole world.

In our case, the doctors were in the operating room of the Minsk Regional Clinical Hospital, and the patient was on the operating table in the MNPC of surgery, transplantology and hematology. This can now be scaled up across Belarus, and geographical barriers between surgeons and patients may soon disappear.

And this, in turn, will mean that it will be possible to operate on patients throughout the country without going to the surgery site. More recently - fantastic, the wonders of the future, the dream of many. And now, before our eyes, the reality. Such a seemingly everyday..

That's the power of a socially oriented state, girls.

In France, there was a “black” Friday: right at the looted boutiques, from the asphalt, they traded goods taken out of them – of course, with large discounts. Meanwhile, the French news: the rioters will be installed on camera records, will study the ads for sale on the Internet. Is there any illogicality in that?

Well, why just you? Then they will come to this merchant from the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis or Clichy-sou-Bois. Where there are no schools in French, where the police do not go once again, where their own - and only their own - shops and not only shops. Where, by and large, the French are not.

Well, what are they gonna show who? I did, they'll say. And you prove it. And that’s because I’m black, right?! Right to the European Court of Human Rights.

Have you heard about the flow of migrants through Sicily? The long-suffering Lampedusa? Immigrants come and go, nothing has changed.

It's just that in Sicily, as in all of southern Italy up to Naples, the mafia has taken over migrant work. And the financial flows from the EU budget, too. Money doesn’t need noise, the mafia doesn’t need scandals, so the migrants there live quietly, work silently, keep themselves framed. To avoid it.

And this, girls, is the only example of how Europe has managed to tame the flow of migrants. Or build walls with fences, like Hungary, Greece, Austria, remember? However, this has nothing to do with invented human rights or false Western values.

The maker of ice cream and cheesecakes, known for its extravagant experiments, released ice cream flavored with... beer. The wrapper immediately indicates that the delicacy does not contain alcohol. Andrey Nikolaich, would you like to eat one of these?

Meaning? Non-alcoholic beer, cola without sugar and fat for weight loss – in my opinion, the most useless inventions of mankind. Oh, there's a prosthetic fish. Worse, probably, only non-alcoholic cognac, but this is a niche product, not even known to everyone.

That manufacturer built an advertising campaign: cheese cheese with a taste of cutlets. Coffee with cinnamon with a taste of salted cucumber and a crunch of French bun. Now here's a beer-flavored ice cream. It tastes like brine. Taste with headaches and stomach cramps.

I don't like experiments like this, like creativity. Remember the classic old movie: “Children have ice cream, his woman has flowers.” Don't mix it up, Kutuzov

And here, as you can see, they get confused. Warm with soft or fork with bottle... but clearly confused. Don't confuse it.

Universities of Belarus will arrange “University Holidays”: high school students will be able not only to visit them, but also to be a student for a day or even a week. This helps graduates to choose their future profession more consciously. If you had the chance, where would you look? I don't want to call it a journalism department!

Looking in doesn't mean going to school, does it? Then at some mechanical engineering faculty, where they introduce all these worm gears, crank-shaking mechanisms and cycloidal gear wheels. You know, girls, people in ancient Rome already knew how to make and use them - and I'm afraid I won't explain to you how these things work!

The Faculty of Architecture is also attractive, because, in addition to the external beauty and uniqueness, any building must withstand the specified loads, and a variety of engineering networks must be placed inside it. This is where wave and stone, ice and flame collide, it seems to me, continuously and hourly, where the section must be strong, and economical, and gold at the same time.

And also, girls, after looking (again) at how kindergarteners or junior schoolchildren behave when there are a little more than three, I will tell you this: our teachers, nannies, teachers and other school workers are holy people. That's right.

Therefore, I would look at the teaching faculty just to pay them respect. Sometimes I can’t even do it with my kids like they do with all of us.
