MINSK, 2 November (BelTA) – After the award ceremony Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko took the school student Roman Kogodovsky on a tour of his office in the Palace of Independence on 2 November, BelTA has learned.
While talking to the boy, Aleksandr Lukashenko vividly showed how much information the president has to process every day by demonstrating a thick folder of various documents to the boy: “Look here. I have to memorize all of it by heart this week. Look: we are going to have an event on Thursday to talk about the Constitution. Then we are going to have online negotiations with Putin on television. I have to learn the materials by heart as well. Then I will go to Mogilev Oblast together with the minister to open a new hospital. I have to learn everything by heart, too. Within only three days.”
“This is why if you risk running for presidency, keep in mind that you have to read a lot. Don't be afraid. You will learn how with time,” the Belarusian leader noted.
BelTA reported earlier that on 2 November Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko bestowed an Order for Personal Gallantry upon Roman Kogodovsky, who had been badly burned while saving his younger brother during a fire. Medics, who treated the heroic boy, also received awards.
