Delegate of the All-Belarusian People’s Assembly Ivan Rynak on the anniversary of the VNS, the achievements of the agro-industrial complex and the development of the regions

The All-Belarusian People’s Assembly is 30 years old. Over the years, the forum has become the highest representative body of democracy, and its decisions determine the development strategy of the country. We talked about what has changed over three decades and what the Belarusian village lives today with Ivan Rynak, a delegate of the VNS, director of the communal agricultural unitary enterprise Niva-Barsuki.

- During this time, the living conditions of the population have improved, the level of income has increased. This applies to the city and the village. The main achievement is that today we have a peaceful sky over our heads, we have the opportunity to work, earn and improve the well-being of our families. People have confidence in the future, which is expensive.

- You manage the economy and at the same time represent the interests of people at the republican level. How, Ivan Vladimirovich, has this changed your work?

- I have become more and more aware of the problems that we must solve on the ground. The work of a delegate requires a broader view of the problems - not only of his enterprise, but also of the entire district, region. The direction of our work remains unchanged: creating good for people and the country.

- What has changed in the lives of rural residents in recent years and what issues do people care about in the first place?

- First and foremost is the standard of living. Today, there is almost no queue for housing in rural areas. Active gasification and electrification of households are underway. For agriculture, comfortable equipment with air conditioning is purchased, which greatly facilitates the work of mechanics. Working conditions have generally changed for the better. People see it and appreciate it.

- The decisions of the GNC concern the whole country. How do they get to a particular farm, an employee?

Decisions of the Assembly are covered in the media. When holding general meetings in the farm, we bring to the employees those requirements and directions that were discussed at the VNS. People understand that these decisions affect them directly. We discuss them in collectives, at planks, bring them to everyone.

- The program of social and economic development of the Republic of Belarus for 2026-2030 has a section "Strong regions". What does this mean for farms like yours and for rural areas in general?

- For our economy, this development is due to the introduction of new technologies and an increase in gross production. We understand that a strong region consists of strong enterprises, they set a trend. If each farm will work stably and increase production, the region as a whole will be strong. This means that people will have jobs, a decent salary and confidence in the future.

- In conclusion, Ivan Vladimirovich, what would you like to wish the people of the country?

- So that everyone is healthy and that there is always a peaceful sky above us.
