00:00Alexander Snitko, a Soviet worker from Gomel, Belarus, is a symbol of Soviet internationalism
00:07and the liberation movements in Latin America.
00:09I would like to see things with more details.
00:12In the Belarusian city of Gomel lives a very special person,
00:18who became a protagonist of the movement of Soviet solidarity with Latin America,
00:23Alexander Snitko, whose collection is really impressive and very valuable
00:28for the historical memory of the Soviet and Latin American people.
00:31If there was racism in capitalism, in the Soviet Union there was anti-racism,
00:39friendship between peoples, and the Soviet youth was educated with this,
00:43with the ideas of internationalism, friendship between peoples,
00:47different races and different nationalities.
00:50And that is why the Soviet youth was not indifferent to the tragedies,
00:53to the injustices that occurred in some distant countries.
00:57He is one of the founders of the movement of solidarity with Latin America
01:01in the Soviet Union in the 1970s and 1980s,
01:04participated in the activities of international brigades,
01:07doing voluntary work in the USSR itself,
01:10to collect resources to support the struggle of the Latin American peoples.
01:14At the same time, he was in charge of the popularization in the Soviet space
01:18of the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union.
01:22Alexander Snitko popularized Latin America.
01:25He spoke of what cannot be sold, of what does not cost money,
01:28but of solidarity with the people who fought and continue to fight now for a new world,
01:32against globalism, against imperialism, for human dignity,
01:35for the independence of the peoples of all continents.
01:39The Soviet Union was an alternative to savage and unjust capitalism
01:43and proposed to build a more humane and just society.
01:46This was represented in the practice of the internationalist brigade
01:50of the Workers' Party of the USSR.
01:53It was the way of life of the people.
01:56It was the way of life of the people,
01:59and it was the way of life of the people.
02:02It was the way of life of the people,
02:05and it was the way of life of the people.
02:08This was represented in the practice of the internationalist brigades
02:11organized by its own citizens.
02:14The common Soviet citizen could not remain indifferent to the pains
02:17and struggles of the peoples of the world,
02:20and many were encouraged to help and participate
02:23in national liberation movements.
02:26The level of civilization has reached such a degree,
02:29the modern planetary civilization,
02:32that it can solve any problems within national borders.
02:38This is only possible thanks to the joint efforts of mankind,
02:41and the most important thing is the attitude of friendship
02:44and solidarity with people of different races and different cultures.
02:52The Soviet movement showed solidarity
02:55with the peoples of Latin America,
02:58and this is not a past stage.
03:01This is something that shows itself in a new way,
03:04and something that, of course,
03:07will be reborn in one form or another,
03:10something that will not only be remembered,
03:13but will be very important,
03:16and these connections will only get stronger and stronger.
03:22Thousands of people in Belarus and Russia
03:25continue to preserve the ethics inherited from the Soviet era,
03:28and in their daily lives,
03:31they defend the best values of humanity.
03:34Because it is never too much to remember the words of Ernesto Che Guevara
03:37that solidarity is the tenderness of peoples.
