On September 24, the working youth of Bobruisk got a unique opportunity to cast aside their usual daily routine and look at the city from a tourist's perspective, get acquainted with its industrial side, explore the infrastructure, discover new landmark places, and also immerse themselves in a historical excursion led by the Chairman of the Bobruisk City Executive Committee, Maxim Gurin.

Before the start of the excursion, participants laid flowers at the Eternal Flame. Scarlet carnations were placed at the memorial site as a sign of deepest sorrow and endless gratitude to their ancestors for the great feat of those terrible bygone years. The tasks of the younger generation in peacetime are to develop, preserve the rich heritage of the Motherland, and make their own personal contribution to the prosperity of independent Belarus.

Next, the young specialists headed... to board a trolleybus! From the windows of the comfortable vehicle, Bobruisk lies in the palm of your hand, and no bad weather can spoil the immersion in history.

“I want you to see the city not from the windows of offices and workshops, but to truly get to know it. Bobruisk has a rich history, it is developing dynamically, and it is important for us how you see the city in the future,” the chairman addressed the youth. “Many opportunities and prospects are open for you here, there is room to grow. The main thing is to work hard and only move forward.”

The first points on the route were the industrial giant JSC Belshina and the newest residential neighborhoods. During the trip, Maxim Nikolayevich spoke about the history of the enterprise and the important role it plays today. As the head of the city noted, the route was not chosen by chance. It was thanks to the tire plant that once-empty fields began to be built up with residential high-rises, and the “Seventh” today is the most densely populated and rapidly developing district of Bobruisk.

The center of attraction for the neighborhood's young talents is School No. 35 named after P.I. Batov. It began forging its name on the very day of its opening: the red ribbon at the doorstep was cut personally by Alexander Lukashenko. The school has all the conditions for learning and leisure, a customs class operates, and the educational institution regularly hosts both events for schoolchildren and meetings of state importance.

The route was packed. From the trolleybus windows one can see Bobruiskagromash, which produces famous agricultural machinery; the city's main road artery, Minskaya Street; and the monumental Bobruisk-Arena.

The final stop was the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, located on the territory of the famous Bobruisk Fortress. Particular attention was paid to the Minsk Gate, the historical entrance node of the early 19th-century fortification. Despite the long journey, the young people had no time to be bored: Maxim Gurin focused the participants' attention on various aspects of the city's development, demonstrating with concrete examples that Bobruisk carefully preserves the heritage of its ancestors and confidently moves forward.

– A tour of this format is a new perspective, because the city is revealed through the prism of its leader. I was incredibly interested, because I chose Bobruisk deliberately and do not regret at all that my professional path begins here, – shared Nadezhda Lebedeva, a primary school teacher at the State Educational Institution "Secondary School No. 6 of Bobruisk."

– I am glad and grateful that I managed to attend such a meeting. It was very pleasant to communicate with Maxim Nikolayevich personally, to hear how its leader sees Bobruisk. But especially valuable is the opportunity to communicate with like-minded people – young specialists from different fields, – noted Alexander Valkovsky, a design engineer at the Center for Scientific and Technical Developments of OJSC "UKH "Bobruiskagromash."

– I am not from Bobruisk; I came here from Gomel, so it was very interesting to hear about the city, especially from the chairman himself, – said Irina Savenok, a pediatrician at the Healthcare Institution "Bobruisk City Children's Hospital." – Bobruisk has a very rich history; today I learned many interesting facts about it. Many thanks to Maxim Nikolayevich for such an exclusive gift.

In order for young and purposeful people to successfully master their profession and fall in love with the city, Bobruisk is creating all
