Dear companions.
Dear companions.
I understand, what not fashionable today this word. In connection with
We in a life express with reorganisation easier and more clearly: "the Man,
Depart from a window - not glass "or" the Woman in a green hat,
Travel Pushkin will show?. ".
In general we try to name each other somehow more adequately.
I remember, the regional TV has addressed to spectators: "Respected
Madams and sirs... ", but there and then also has faltered, as not
Has supported the people. Since morning till the night navelichivajut itself and public
Misters Svanidze, Yakubovich, Pozner, and also their colleagues on radio
Russia, forty times a day without false modesty naming itself
The present of radio and territory for all. Well, can, still ours
Local "elite", being delayed with taste in night taverns, calls
Itself in a similar way.
Perhaps therefore also is in a fever the country that cannot in any way
To be defined our leaders and thinkers, who they in relation to
To the people: vysokorodnye sirs-misters or accomplices equal in rights. And
Even foreign ranks to them do not get accustomed. Well, what, tell,
From Zhirinovsky the sir or still, say, the gentleman from Chubays?
Quite probably, that they there have sat down incorrectly. As a donkey, a goat and
Clumsy bear from krylovskoj fables. Though on the TV all time
Tell, that reminding the fourth participant well-known
Quartet Nemtsov offers already on two projects in a month on rescue
Russia.
And still the word "companion" strongly jars on our both the first
Retired presidents. Because it, in their opinion,
Bolshevist and totalitarian. But it, probably, therefore them, poor,
So breaks, that they, in the heat of reforms and reorganisations, did not read
Good books. And in them, in particular in "Explanatory dictionary" of Century And.
Dalja, along with Russian saying "a goose to a pig not a companion"
Its Ancient Greek analogue "Ir Krezu not a companion" is resulted also.
Leaves, for 500 years B.C. and they had companions and
supostaty... In Dmitry Donskogo's army and princes, and private soldiers
ratniki, that is misters and lackeys, were called as companions, why
Also have won fight. Presently Russia rescued companion Zhukov and
Companion of Sailors. I will refer also to myself guilty, as on
The eyewitness... The Mayor of the Parisian city-companion of Ivri, treating the Soviet
Tourists the presents champagne and kalvadosom, named us
"Companions". And in Lisbon, on an exit from port, Portuguese
Communists stretched party membership cards: "the Companion... The Autograph...".
The distance so interprets this word: the employee, the accomplice, a colleague,
rovnja. "A clever companion - half of road" - confirms it. Difficultly
And, perhaps, even it is impossible to mind to the great expert on Russian
Language. Because in a life so it also is.
My own 30-year-old road to "Kuzbas", though and not so
Asphalted, has passed without distant detours and failure potholes
Thanking it - to clever accomplices and colleagues...
Let's take"...
To work in "Dawn" all it became more difficult. First, at will
The violent reformer of those times Khruschev party have divided on two
Parts - rural and city, and our newspaper has turned in
Interdistrict rural, in which to me - to "industrialist" like and
Places were not. Secondly, a demon poputal: has written
The unpleasant feuilleton on the friend at once two secretaries
City town committee.
But by then there was a first book of feuilletons, verses and
Notes appeared occasionally in "the Member of the Komsomol of Kuzbas","Soviet
Russia "," Hooter "," Kuzbas ". Brothers-newsdealers it is already a little of me
Knew.
Once has called the deputy the editor of "Kuzbas" Deniskin:
- The old man! The staff reporter on four east areas is necessary to us...
You will go? Village you do not know? Recollect, who burns pots...
Then I have learnt, with what scratch there passed my nominee.
Walkers to the editor Valentine Ivanovich Deniskin, the manager have gone.
selhozotdelom Peter Timofeevich Anosov, the manager. Department of letters and
The secretary of the journalistic organisation Paul Ivanovich Antipov. But
Has simultaneously come from the Mariinsky city town committee "cart" with the puzzled
Question: "Whom a beret?" In Mariinsk I, appear, is known as
The irresponsible talker, morally unstable type, the egoist,
The careerist and the drunkard.
Nikolay Jakovlevich Troitsky persistently did not surrender, and delegation
Proved, that vile defects cannot accumulate so much in
One young still the person, has shown notes, verses, feuilletons.
Probably, have come, as now speak, to a consensus, because
In couple of days Valentine has called me in "office" - on monthly
Trial period... Chief-verifier Peter Semenovich Voroshilov with
Places in an open-cast mine has sent in business trip - in absolutely unfamiliar
Novokuznetsk.
- Ideal variant: on one good stuff in day, -
The master addressed.
Then, after arrival, I seven days and nights left in a hostel
State district power station where me have defined. Voroshilov only slightly,
"parikmaherski" having corrected, put "hook" and sent mine
Creations in secretary.
Was then at us an order - to give "experimental" green street.
My eight materials - a sketch from village, the reporting from Zapsib,
Author's article, fishing bajka "Blesna column Sheremetev",
Business information and notes - have passed for a week. Not ideally,
Certainly, on voroshilovskim to measures for ten days of business trip,
But, as I understood, not too badly. Have then given out to me big
Convolutions of a pure paper, terrible deficiency - three rod handles,
The certificate of the correspondent also have sent in new quality in
Mariinsk - Tjazhin sky - Tisul - CHebulu, with a dwelling place all in
The same native city...
And in a week all on the same familiar "cart" dispatched in
Some the necessary addresses, have called me the secretary obkoma parties on
Kuzmin's ideologies. Zynaida Vasilevna has given out everything, that thinks about
To my "person", without any diplomacy. I minded, was justified
And even, not having thought, has blurted out, that if conversation goes and further
In this channel, I will rise and I will leave.
- Also you will leave! - has promised Kuzmin. - and from job you will leave, and from
Parties we will expel!
This very day I have handed in the statement on calculation on the own
To desire.
Nikolay Jakovlevich has called, has listened, has walked on an office and,
As always, a coldish, equal voice not subject to doubt
Has told:
- You, the old man, are not hot. The statement take away. For memory. From
Parties Zynaida Vasilevna you, probably, also will expel. And about
Jobs not to it to solve. So appease nerves, descend in an operetta, and
Tomorrow poezzhaj in the edges also get down to business as follows....
.
I am most in edition was afraid of Anosov. The business - rural
Economy - he knew not worse the good agriculturist, even workers
obkoma and selhozupravlenija with it consulted.
Especially threw in a shiver its negligent saying: "I of yours
Nonsenses not the reader ". Or still:" as my dead used to say
The grandmother... "And further stated such, guess what could not
Any grandmother on light...
Tens young journalists have passed primary obkatku in
selhozotdele. Everything, and universitetski, and literary grounded,
The youth studied at Peter Timofeevicha in truthfulness, efficiency,
Validity of each newspaper word. Not casually almost all
"podanosoviki" steels then the well-known figures in the central
Editions, and Deniskin - at first zamom, and then and the editor native
Newspapers. Youth of those years - Mahalov, JUrov, Moiseyev,
Nikitin, Dergachev, Malinin - has thought up for it semirespectful,
poluzuboskalnuju a nickname Itself. Absolutely lethal argument in any
Dispute on village was then the statement: "Itself has told"...
I, the new staff reporter on east, mainly rural,
To areas, percent on 70 "passed" through Anosov. Sometimes it
obrugival for legkovesnost, literaturshchinu, but my creations,
However, in a basket threw out seldom enough. And here I send to it
The next reporting. Has dashing given out-most it is pleasant!
Heading something like "the Generous field". Now, I think,
Will not grumble and screw up the face... Speech in the reporting goes about the sensible
And the thoughtful managing director from distant, boundary with Krasnoyarsk
Edge, state farm.
We go it with it in pletennom hodke on proselku. I Also see
The field which has suddenly densely grown with weeds. Juicy molochaj in two fingers
In the thickness, the sow-thistle a wall turns pink, cornflowers become blue, shchiritsa on edge
kudrjavitsja.
- What is it at you for a disgrace? - I ask.
- Not a disgrace it, and our prosperity, a companion the correspondent, -
Zealous Peter Ivanovich responds.
And further he in detail states the economic plans.
Today-tomorrow will expel here KRS and svinopogolove and will feed all
The richest fiber and vitamins green weight directly on a root.
To mow, to carry it is not necessary. Represent, how much gorjuchki
Will save! And how much centners, tons of root units
In addition to a diet will add... And then, at once, will plough under
Steam, and in the spring or barley, or wheat will sow. All calculations, here
They - in a notebook... Double benefit!
Day through two calls.
- You that, the old man, absolutely there have run wild, in the God-forsaken hole? Go
Now in library also read about a sow-thistle, ovsjug and other
Jingles which you sing. By the way, and the note in
Tomorrow's number read more attentively.
My reporting in the newspaper was called "the Poor-poor field". And all in
Him it has been put upside down! It turned out, that at all
Leader Peter Ivanovich, and stupid and self-satisfied Mjunhgauzen
Regional scale. Any to use he will not achieve from the ruined
Fields - will exhaust from it weeds last juice. In acknowledgement
It is resulted terrible tsifir razora, put to the earth by the specified
Weeds... Under a devastating material my modest signature:
The staff reporter of "Kuzbas" the such.
Speak, "my" reporting has been placed on a board of the best. Itself on
planerke has not uttered words...
Universities.
War has not allowed to leave school. In 15, having passed course FZO
(Factory training), worked in depot on the machine tool, and in 17
For the whole seven years have called on Krasnoznamennuju the Amur flotilla.
So first my editor Ivan Nikolaevich Vasilev from
Mariinsky "Dawn" at once has forced two years douchivatsja in
To evening school. And the second, Troitsk, has persistently promoted
To receipt on correspondence branch of the Higher party school at the Central Committee
The CPSU. Learnt there well. At university level, and can, and
Above. But sufficed still, besides, and "house" lessons...
In Mariinsk first I could not gain the confidence to in any way
To the chief of station Sergey Pavlovichu Petrosevu. And it was necessary.
Station on a network of roads of the country - the major, as railwaymen
Speak, sverhkategorijnaja. Here, for the first time in the union, it was mounted
System stykovanija two traction currents - constant and
Variable and in this connection there was a weight of problems. To the newspaper
The detailed material was necessary. And it is better, than competent,
Authoritative on all network of Ministry of Railways Petrusev makes it could nobody.
On all my attempts he usually kept silent or readdressed to
zamam.
Once I, having become impudent, have sat down to Petrusevu for its little table in
Station restaurant where it was in the habit to while away evening in
Gloomy loneliness. Has reserved, as well as it, hundred fifty, a beefsteak,
For which the restaurant on all Trans-Siberian highway was famous.
Have drunk, everyone in itself.
- And you know, for what I do not like your brother-newsdealer? -
Has muttered Petrusev.
I have shrugged shoulders.
- Unreliable you, rubbishy...
- Here as for about a year has thrust to me for this table back
The known journalist. Have drunk, of course, have met. And I to it, as
Speak, to all soul has given vent. Even that in a family the disorder...
In a week there is a feuilleton. About me - the villain. And whereas
Time was solved a question on transfer in the ministry... And so also has dried
I to Mariinsk till the end of days...
- I am not going to at all to be dug in your linen and in soul not
I climb, - I have chilly minded. - article knowing, fair is necessary to us
The expert as whom we, by the way, consider you, about ways
Station updatings. That's all...
We silently have drunk up and doeli, have paid off. I was going to to leave,
Again with what.
- Well, good. There will be to you article. Only not the writer I,
podredaktiruj where it is necessary...
Article left, sensible, detailed, sharply critical....
In the evening - a call. Petrusev on a name-patronymic names. Come,
Speaks, there are problems with the publication...
Has come. And it gets a small bottle of expensive cognac from buffet,
Lemon and more any delicacies...
- The heads swear. You fly, speaks, ahead of a steam locomotive, -
Laughs Petrusev. - They, whether see, all these flaws were going to
To correct within the next five years, and now here it is necessary
Turns to add...
So inaccessible Petrusev became a companion of our newspaper. Well, and
Mine, of course, too...
There were also pleasant moments in fussy sobkorovskoj lives,
When it was possible to remove naprjazhenku or as now speak,
To relax...
Has thrust somehow to fish on my native Kiju the manager. Department
The coal industry Valentine Kalachinsky.
I have called the director of state farm "Chumajsky" Glushkov.
- Approach through pair hours in CHebulu. Our driver Grigory
Grigorevich will meet...
To CHumaja have reached already towards evening.
- To fish to you today it is not necessary any more. Therefore here to you on
Evening to an ear.
And George Prokopevich has got from a table pair large sigov.
- Only consider, with return. Tomorrow cleaning it is finished, saw,
podi, what breads, and in the evening with Stepan and the best kombajnerami to
To you on an ear we will arrive... By the way, fishermen speak, nelma to play
The beginnings on the Mihajlovsky reach for Big Bazyrom. You there now
Grigorich will throw...
That day the God has shown a bit of generosity rather niggardly kijsky. I have caught on
Spinning three nelmy, a good pike and small, kg on
Ones and a half, tajmeshonka, and Valentine on zakidushki half-ten large
Perches and podjazka. In total kgs fifteen it was typed.
In the evening, in twilight, visitors have approached: Glushkov, the secretary
Communist Party committee Stepan Alekseevich Zorin, my messmate on the naval
To service, five machine operators also it is not known where adjoined to them
The editor of the interdistrict newspaper "Forward" Grigory Mihajlovich
SHinkarenko... Have pulled out from cars pair of boxes, yes at us still something
Remains.
Stepan cleaned fish, Glushkov shuroval a fire, SHinkarenko
Hung over fire three big buckets with water, under an ear and tea.
The Head cook have appointed Valentine Alekseevicha. First, therefore,
That from the youth was on friendly terms with Victor Astafevym who has written the well-known
"Tsar-fish". Secondly, itself was the inveterate fisherman, for what in
Editions were received by a title Karasinsky. Whether It is necessary to say, that an ear from
The richest raznorybja it has turned out is not worse at all astafevskoj on
Boganide.
Unless only did not suffice for a full bouquet of a ruff yes
sterljadki...
The first toast was lifted by the owner - Glushkov, for present rich
Crop - bread to all a head. The second, ideological, has proclaimed
Artful Stepan, for commonwealth between CHumaem and "Kuzbas",
Helping them - hleborobam to go forward and above!
In general, it turned out, that the cuckoo praises a cock that
It praises a cuckoo?. But, on the other hand, for five years of mine
sobkorstva was not a uniform occasion to "fall" upon state farm with
Criticism. CHumaj for the Kuzbass village was the recognised standard, and
Glushkov - the highest authority.
Have then drunk for beauty Kiju, for everyone present and
Even one absent - Anosov. Have recollected, how it has got so
Here in the company of the gone on a spree peasants. It have politely asked: "That
Will drink, Peter Timofeevich, red or white? "-" and beer -
Too ", - the visitor has important responded...
I at first was caught at a notebook - so much information on all
Subjects! And business - about cleaning poleglyh breads, and about eccentricities
Nikita who have started reform of Russian, and even about the lordly
Manners someone from a state-farm management, on which for some reason
Eyes and the director, and a Communist Party committee closed...
- Well, meeting... Well, a Communist Party committee... Well, press conference... -
Glushkov, resignedly accepting criticism "from below" grumbled.
I have recollected Petruseva and have put a notebook far away. Because
Conversation went not for the press. Not everything, that you will hear behind the friendly
Table, it is necessary to drag at line. To us, journalists, believe, see in
Us rovnju. And a notebook, whatever one may do, business state...
Samotlor gift.
The biggest term - - "left" 12 years I in information department.
Has come the manager to known masters - to reporters to Belief Petrovne
Olenevoj and Vite (Victor Maksimovichu) to Moiseyev. Somehow without insults and
Reproaches by itself amicable job has gone at us. Well, that such the manager.
Department in edition? He/she is very small chief, on which
Heavy cargo of responsibility is hung. And the price to it so
Above, it how much more carries, as a horse-korennik, in
obshcheotdelskoj to a team.
Belief Petrovna with skill conducted constant section
Public health services ("Robbers in white dressing gowns" as have altered
It once in our ten-metre wall newspaper "envious persons"),
Heading of questions and answers "Minute business", the reporting on the various
Events of non-productive sphere.
Vitja, the youngest, conducted sports, a military-patriotic subject,
Hunting, tourism, the nature. I took to myself the reporting from shock objects,
Industrial subject, Saturday satirical section "the Fifth
Corner ". And all together was collected all the week long by" "florets" for
"Estradno-dancing" page of the day off "yours
Sunday ". According to many readers of those years, at us
It turned out...
The invaluable help was rendered to us by press photographers. And Peter Pavlovich
Kostyukov ("Teacher"), and Vitja Gryzyhin, and Jura Sergeys were
The big experts, everyone, naturally, as well as
It is necessary great, with the special whims.
Kostyukov as he spoke, in Kemerovo each dog knew.
Well, and he, of course, knew all "dogs". Therefore ordered during time
Shootings as the general. Could, in interests of the newspaper, drive in one
Rank combines from all immense sovkhoz field. Could
To drag in a close coalface the bulky lighting
Equipment. All photographers of the world before pressing "doggie",
Warn, that now the birdie ostensibly will take off.
The teacher demanded: "Lick lips".
Vitja inserted into object hands a mountain ash branch or strewed a cap
And the collar snow, carefully built in advance srezhissirovannyj
Shot. Having drunk hundred gramme, he liked to sing the Neapolitan songs, for what
One time has received nickname Lobertino. And in general the lawful
The pseudonym was at it - Grozny that is rare enough
Corresponded to appeasable character of the master.
Well, and JUra almost always improvised. Some minutes could
To beat around the bush, get accustomed and then suddenly, without
Preventions, clicked a shutter.
Once, during week-end, we spent the night with it on the Pine rift
Azhendarovsky channels - perfectly here took that autumn harius. I
Has got out of tent early, in twilight. Has stirred a fire. Has warmed up
Evening tea... And suddenly I hear: "do not move, hold as a mug,
Look at a fire! "JUra has pulled out some objectives, has clicked,
Probably, from tens times.
Then I rastirazhirovannyj a colour picture gave away this all
To the best friends. And at all in me there was a business. On a picture
The imperceptible opportunity of a meeting of night and day is seized. Dimmy
kosterok, a serebristo-green, wet glade from filled out dew,
Vaguely foggy wood in the distance and whether the big full coming
The moon, whether looking through through a dozing haze of the grayish sky
The is pale-crimson sun. And the lonely person at a fire too yet
Absolutely overslept with a mug invigorating, even a smoke from it, tea in
To hand. And detachment from this world, and optimism waking up
Day...
Picture...
I excused Sergeevu sometimes doubtful enough jokes. Somehow
We came back after week business trip with Kija-Shaltyrsky
nefelinovogo mine. Unshaven, tired, hungry. In Big
Zlatogorke have turned out all pockets and have come in selpo.
I considered copper coins. There was a rouble with something, hardly-hardly on a bottle
Popular port. And JUra with the driver Glory Afonin stirred with
The very young saleswoman and its girl-friend.
- And know, the little girls, that gloomy muzhik, which copecks
Considers, tells, that in London was...
Girl-friends have giggled.
But I really for a year before was in cruise around
Europe...
- And in Paris as if in hotel "Royal crown" three days
Veins, across Montmartre in the evenings walked...
Little girls died laughing literally.
I have become angry and, brjaknuv about a counter all cash,
Has demanded a bottle with three semerkami. The saleswoman has submitted port,
Roll of bread and circle of two-rouble sausage.
I have started to mind, pay there was supposedly nothing.
- Take, take, the uncle... Next time to London you will go,
You will deliver, - with a smile the girl has responded umnenkaja...
In general when at the editor conversation on business trip has come on
The Samotlor, in partners I has asked Sergeeva.
In Tyumen, capital of the oil and gas North, we were accepted by the Hero
Socialist Work the chief of association "Tjumengazprom"
Altunin. What is this a figure, we have understood already in a reception from
Shorthand reports of phone calls. "Companion Altunin, some words
About Urengoe for "Rabotnicheska affairs" is Bulgaria. "The Mr.
Altunin, please, your opinion on possibility of giving of Russian
Gas to Italy "- requested Rome...
Evgenie Nikiforovich has brought us to a map. A bright dotted line
The twisting blue was designated among set of directions
Line:
Nizhnevartovsk-Parabel-Kuzbass. That seboj represents the future
Gas pipeline? These are 1147 kilometres of a pipe of metre diameter with
Powerful compressor gazorazdatochnymi stations, communication lines
And electricity transmissions, with arranged well vahtovymi settlements and a network
Roads. These are 760 km of a taiga, 152 km of bogs and 105 km lezhnevok. It, in
Final, a result, 9,5 billion cubic metre of natural gas for
The Kuzbass industry.
Altunin gives us "green street" on the North, and we fly on edge
The earths, to Nadym, Urengoj, Nizhnevartovsk, on Samotlor. End of the earth -
It, by the way, not a journalistic branchy cranberry, and
On-nenetski Yamal. And Nadym - in Russian Happiness. It is that
City which Arbat romanticists were going to to construct under
City roof. Even a two-part film about it have removed.
Northerners have hardly beaten off from them. Also have constructed the beautiful youth
City among blue snowdrifts. With the Palace of culture, schools,
Cinema, the airport and - set ruddy, krugloshchekih
Children.
In Nizhnevartovsk us have brought on the first chink, to that
To torch under which, under the local legend, cried from ours
Scandalous wastefulness economical Japanese, and even have shown
Concrete footpath on island Samotlor on which went in
Rubber boots the wife of a shah of Iran.
Exotic was so many that Sergeys, apparently, and slept with
The device in hands.
Here "our" helicopter pilot prizemljaet small п п -1 in two
Metres from a dining room door. povariha swears, and it to it: "Aunt Dasha,
They are journalists from Kuzbas, on a line it is necessary to them ".
I look, JUra removes.
Have sat down in settlement Ust-Kole-kegane directly before the dog team
Hunter Sotera Kykina.
- Again fuljuganish, Valerka, - smiles Soter.
JUra removes. The hunter and its trophies. Dogs with nartami at
The helicopter. Good "hooligan" samochernova...
In the morning in a taiga on a line a minus 47.
- It is good, though a wind southern, - welders, zaskakivajushchie "joke"
In a carriage to smoke.
Paste in the handle freezes. I get a pencil. JUra goes somewhere at
Pipes in itself. I ask: "you will Remove?" Responds: "At
Me all is ready "...
So we travelled some times: to Yamal, in lower reaches of Ob,
On the Tomsk North - in Vertikos, parabel, Vasjugan, to us, under
Fire chambers. I consider, that half of business was provided to us with our kind
vsevedajushchie companions - the chief engineer of Tomsk management
Gas pipeline, our fellow countryman from Jurgi Vyacheslav Mahonin, voluntary
The companion and "explorer", the correspondent of the regional newspaper "Red
Banner "Victor Lojsha.
Sergeys after business trip showed, printed and brought pictures
For words. But they were not required almost. My literary trash and it
Pictures supplemented each other, were perceived as a single whole.
We have given out in the newspaper from tens reportings, have let out the book "Gift
Samotlor ".
On November, 21st, 1977 at a building gazoregulirujushchego point
The Kemerovo thermal power station the torch of natural gas of Samotlor has flashed. Red
Ribbon cut notorious Bakatin, power and
Chemists drank champagne. Us, journalists to invite have forgotten...
Was for 30 years much still the most interesting business trips: to Lvov
And Bitter, to Irkutsk and Krasnoyarsk and even to Budapest and Vienna. And
Always on each new place the first offered a hand of friendship and
The help local journalists. With their kind help also it was written easily,
Also was joyfully. That is why I like it "our word proud -
Companion ". Also I believe, that it completely"will be rehabilitated"in
Wiping after ten years' letargii eyes of Russia, as
The great hymn of the were is restored recently in legitimate rights
The great country...
Alexander of HARES.
