Aleksandr Lukashenko talks to Shklov residents, May 2005
MINSK, 22 August (BelTA) - Do you remember Aleksandr Lukashenko's workbook from 37 years ago? The Telegram channel Pul_inside had a chance to flip through it and find out what exactly the young chairman of the Gorodets state farm wrote in his workbook.
Photos with the workbook were recently published by the Telegram channel Pul Pervogo. The workbook was returned to the president by Governor of Mogilev Oblast Anatoly Isachenko, who also headed Gorodets farm back in the day. The reaction of the head of state, when he was leafing through the red-covered workbook, is difficult to convey in words.
Journalists of the Belarus 1 TV channel photographed a few pages and went straight to Shklov District in search of the people who worked with Aleksandr Lukashenko back in the day. And they did!
Nina Ruban, a resident of the village of Slobodka, worked with the future president. The woman recalled that before the arrival of Aleksandr Lukashenko, they had to carry big milk cans on their shoulders. "We would stand up with cans on our shoulders and had a chat. So he ordered to harness the horse so that he no longer saw women having to carry heavy milk cans," the villager said.
Viktor Petakov, a resident of Slobodka, noted that when heading Gorodets Aleksandr Lukashenko insisted on order on the farm: "He did not tolerate drunks at work. He wanted people to do honest and fair work."
As you can see, even now, as the head of state, Aleksandr Lukashenko adheres to the same principle: order and discipline must be ironclad.

Her neighbor Valentina Alimova called Aleksandr Lukashenko a true leader: "He did not shy away from celebrating holidays... A fine fellow!" The women are sure that the president will remember this from their stories. "He did not forget about us. It was the 1990s, there was hardly any food in stores. He had footwear, food and much more brought to the village. Our wages were delayed but we always had food and clothes," Valentina Alimova added.

Anatoly Isachenko, who returned the president's workbook, is sure that it can become a rulebook for all executives. "We see a comprehensive approach over the 30 years of the presidency of Aleksandr Lukashenko. The notes made in the workbook relate not only to specialists, subordinates. These are, first of all, notes for oneself. What needs to be done to ramp up production, to make things better. First of all, this is discipline and self-determination," the governor of Mogilev Oblast said.
