    I’ve been in Korma as a bus driver picking up children who suffers from Chernobyl and bringing them to Belgium. I have done this 3 times. Once I stayed a week with the locals. Belarusians are very warm and nice people. Where I was after a few days , the father of the house send their family away, because he had not food enough to feed me and my colleague. I try to give them money, but he won’t accept it. So I hide the money in the room where we slept. Afterwards they found it and send me a nice thank you letter. This video and helping the people there brings back good memories.

      I grew up in the countryside and whenever I return there I feel an innate sense of peace and wellbeing, something I don't really get where I live. I believe unrestricted access to nature is so important for us as organic, spiritual and social creatures. That seems to be disappearing. Bizarrely it feels much lonelier living with a hundred others, stacked in little boxes on top of one another, than it does being surrounded by empty fields. Then again, somebody who grew up in the city might feel the opposite.

    Katsiaryna,
    You may consider your birth-place "poor" in terms of money but, look around you!
    You're so *rich* in natural beauty, clean air and sunshine, away from pollution, city traffic jams, artificial noise (instead of the sound of birds, chooks and cows grazing), and above all, the unbearable stress that people living in small 'shoe-boxes' in cities suffer daily.
    You are blessed dear girl!
    Best wishes from a distant "grand-father" from Australia. 😃😃

      It’s romantic to think living in an undeveloped country off the land will bring you a better quality of life but in reality it’s a pretty brutal unforgiving way to live. A lot of unnecessary death pain and suffering. Life expectancy birth related mortalities and so many other things that you take for granted in the city. If you think living in the city is rough you are not going to cut it out in the country. There is a money ceiling one you reach it your life doesn’t get much better and that is the reason people are unhappy they are prioritising a little bit more money but not getting a fair pay off. Money is not the only important thing but it’s the solution to most problems for people who haven’t hit that money ceiling yet.

    Beautiful. This reminds me very much my childhood. I grew up in Poland, in quite similar environment. We used to have 1,5 hectare of our own cropland, with 2 cows, some 6 pigs and plenty of hens, ducks, rabbits and other live stock. We grew all vegitables alone. We cultivated the land alone, but we did not have any horse and my father was always borrowing the horses from his more wealthy neighbors. I have smelled similar flavor of such life again, while travelling in Belarus some 25 years ago. I am missing that so much, however I know how difficult the life on such a farm is. There is plenty of work every day, even on Sunday the animals need to fed and the cows need to be milked. Everything is far away, school, church, shop, friends. But we constituted a real family - working together, spending time together, sharing good and bad things together. Working on this small farm was a good school of life. Later our farm burned down and was never rebuilt. My parents went to work and our lives have changed.

      It was not tranquil and peaceful between 1941 - 1945, caught in the middle of the biggest war the World has ever seen, Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union, called Operation Barbarossa. It is very nice that it is peaceful now, but I wonder if the ghosts of the past linger, either in the minds of the older population, as told to them by their parents and grandparents who were lucky to have survived it. Ukraine lived through it too, and continues to suffer so badly now as we all know............

    Since I get a lot of comments on poverty and comparisons, I would like to clarify some of the notions:
    1. The aim of the video was to show the contrast with the regions within Belarus (for example, the city of Minsk is richer in these terms than our entire Gomel region and Korma district!). I did not compare the subsistence minimum of Belarus and other countries like Kenya and other countries of Africa, etc. The subsistence minimum is calculated in regards to the well-being of a Belarusian economy.
    2. Being poor and live in poverty are two connected but different notions. I am aware of worldwide hunger and poverty in certain regions. It pains me to say but we are lucky to have the possibility to cultivate land and get produce to survive. That is why we do what we do: agriculture - one of the main sectors of Belarusian economy.
    3. The wages (salary) given in the video are before taxes. It is a monthly salary! This amount is enough to pay for utilities and food. No more than that.

Compare to ours, Life is much better in third world country than first world countries. Poverty is in USA, UK, and in EU.

    This is so simple, yet tells your story so well, as though I am right there with you as you narrate it.
    I live in India, where a lot of people live in poorer conditions than in your country ... REALLY poor. And there are millions of them in this condition.
    I have found that some of the poorest people who earn their wages on a daily basis are also some of the happiest I have seen. They don't know what the next day will bring and so, they live for that day, for that moment.
    The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence and people living in cities praise the clean and simple living in the countryside and people in the country are starry-eyed about all the "glitz" of the cities.
    The old Soviet countries are such a mystery to a lot of people around the world and such videos brings us a picture of how people live there.
    Thank you very much for bringing out such a simple, yet powerful video.

    A lot of beautiful imagery, even if it is a poor country. Much of the scenery made me feel nostalgic about the place I grew up in. My ancestors were in the Ukraine for some generations, and migrated, first to Canada and later to Mexico, where I was second generation born. A lot the architecture and the country scenery was very similar to what we had back home. My people are German and Dutch Mennonites, but I see that we adopted a lot of Russian and/or Ukrainian culture from the time we were there. Cuisine, language and architecture. This video was a pleasure to watch.

      My family left Belarus, then part of Russia, for America in 1898 due to the poor treatment of us Jews there. My grandparents told me stories about what their parents experienced in what's now called Belarus, and it was rough to say the least. Just google Pogroms. We had been there for about 350 years or so by that point. It's also why most of the men in my family who were born in the US, myself included, are US military veterans. The part of my family that did not make it to America, as not all my great grandfather's family made it to NYC, did not survive WW2.
      There are many reasons why the US has what it has, and some of it is due to how comparatively tolerant the US is. It is not a perfect country, but it is a damn good one.
