Tamara Vyatskaya is the deputy chief editor of the state-owned "Radio Minsk". Her daughter Ksenia, director of the farmer's market "Uso Svayo" (Everything of Our Own), spoke about the propagandist's creative birthday celebration.
Ksenia Vyatskaya shared photos and videos from the family celebration on Threads: "How birthdays are celebrated in my family: mom rented the "Peramoha" (Victory) cinema to show her film."
Most likely, it's about renting not an entire cinema, but a gastro-hall — which is designed for 12 seats. By the way, to rent such a hall, it's enough to buy all 12 tickets — and then you can arrange for food from the cinema's cafe.
Judging by the published footage, Tamara Vyatskaya dedicated the film to the topic of religion. The film features priest Pavel Serdyuk (rector of the Church of St. Nicholas of Japan in Minsk). His wife Veronika Serdyuk, head of the "Matulya" (Mother) center, is Vyatskaya's daughter.
Previously, Tamara Vyatskaya was a member of a commission that searched for "extremism" in books. In March 2021, she and seven other people, for example, evaluated the book "Belarusian National Idea" by journalist Zmitser Lukashuk ("Euroradio" received a copy of the expert commission's conclusion).
Tamara Vyatskaya voted that the work contained extremism.
"All my relatives live in Ukraine (she said so. — Euroradio's note), and I know this situation from within, and it is very ambiguous. And I don't understand why such a book is needed. I didn't find an answer in this book as to why it was written. It is destructive, it is harsh. Again, I am a woman, and maybe men like all this, but I don't like it. I will answer this way: for us Orthodox, everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial. This book is not beneficial," — she commented on her decision.
