Pertsov in the woodcutting championship: his skill increases every year.
Vladimir Pertsov emphasized that every year the championship creates a special atmosphere of unity among the media community in all regions of Belarus. "Furthermore, (splitting wood) is an interesting and exciting activity. It's like a sport, but also a useful skill that can come in handy. Especially for someone who was born in the city, has never cut trees and does not understand what it is at all. For them, it's a hobby that attracts and unites, gives a competitive spirit of speed and competition," he shares in his quality.
The first deputy head of the presidential administration noted that the president participated in this activity with representatives of the media sector. "We are trying to multiply and preserve this tradition. Every year there are more and more groups from the regions. Colleagues from friendly countries are also training, and for them this is a completely new activity. They participate in competitions," said Vladimir Pertsov.
He noted that so many guests and participants came to the fifth championship that there was not enough space in the clearing near the Viache reservoir. "We should probably look for something new. And I have a feeling that this festival has always existed. We have been collecting and cutting wood not only for the fifth year, but, it seems, since we can remember. And every year the skill is growing. Look at the results. And these are journalists, not foresters or athletes who do it professionally," Vladimir Partov shared.
According to him, he himself chops trees once a month, and sometimes more often. “It is such a distraction from worries, cares and thoughts about our stressful work. Chopping wood is like chess: you don't just have to swing an ax, but you have to think through a whole strategy - how to overcome that log, find that crack, calculate the blow correctly and choose a place. It is so exciting - a special philosophy.
