Summer on Celestial Teeths in paints and factor SHennona.
Summer on Celestial Teeths in paints and factor SHennona.
Water colour landing.
Whom only you will not see on a tourist track! That a meeting,
That an occasion to acquaintance. shestidesjatidvuhletny the teacher-tomich,
Which has resulted on liked Teeths group of schoolboys, polar explorers-ekstremaly
From Severska, the Muscovites-biologists, the "advanced" photographer from Novokuznetsk...
And therefrom - young artists.
Tablet, Whatman paper sheet, brush and water colour - a simple set,
With which help of the little girl and the boy embody beauty
Kuznetsk Ala Tau. In drawings - terribly raging Kazyr, covered
Colours a glade, a bath on the bank of small river...
- On an exit open-air we happen every year, - the assistant speaks
Directors of art school N2 of Novokuznetsk Elena Jurevna
Donjagina. - this year there was a choice - to go to Altai, to Khakassia
Or on the sea... Were going to on Celestial Teeths. Children for the first time
Have got to marching conditions. To overcome 15 km during a rain from Luzhby
To a shelter "the Kuprijanovsky glade" it has appeared serious test.
vyvaljalis in a dirt, but are all the same terribly happy.
Then that to artists will recollect: have left Novokuznetsk
Beautiful, at full parade, and then has begun as in a fairy tale -
"The dairy rivers and kiselnye coast". Water in streams because of rains
Has fine risen and has turned on rifts to the roaring foamy
Weight, on clay tracks the higher pilotage was not uvazjukatsja
On the Panamanian. "Our mums, where we and that we would see!!!" After
Such tests someone even has decided to throw "the nasty past"
And to leave for ever. In a sports hall.
Young painters perform water colour jobs, etudes - "status",
Composite sketches with architecture. Little girls have found fancifully
The bent root also attach it on coastal stones:
It for a graphic etude in which the invoice of subjects will be reflected.
Drawing in the open air - a reserve for the next academic year, a material
For compositions, and for degree job plots will be useful to someone.
Around where throw a sight - generosity of paints and never-ending
Mood change. The sun has looked out - the small river, timbered has begun to shine
The house shines warm yellowness, later against a burning down decline
Openwork tops of firs blacken. Have run clouds - all nature has darkened
Also became unfriendly. Become wet, the traveller, swear, run more soon
To a saving shelter...
The camera has bothered. Next time I will necessarily grasp with
Itself drawing tools. And that already envy takes, when I look
On these of nothing the afraid artists!
"Where darkness could merge with wing hieroglyphs..."
It is good, whether know, in the middle of summer to roll down from mountain on snow
On "the fifth point"! And through one hundred metres to pick at random the freshest flask
And after some minutes to be stretched on a glade in sparks, nearby
With an izba on Top Tajzhesu!.
While the Mezhdurechensk youth with passion played in the evening "mafia",
On a shelter there were mysterious serious people. Also has spread shepotok:
"The professor has arrived! The entomologist, studies butterflies! From the Moscow State University!" Curiosity
Has got the best, and here "behind a buckwheat cereal plate" we talk with
The general director of research group "Entomologichesky
Examination "Victor Sinjaevym and the supervisor of studies of expedition
Vladimir Sergeevichem Murzinym, and the truth the professor Moscow
State university, but here only not the biologist it, and... The physicist-jadershchik!
Nich-ch-that I do not understand...
- We have arrived to Kuznetsk Ala Tau local butterflies to study, -
Vladimir Sergeevich explains. - Our research group
At tropical branch of Institute of problems of ecology and evolution
The Russian Academy of Sciences carries out monitoring of environment by means of insects.
Entomologija - my hobby, but in this area at me already 20 scientific
Jobs. And the physicist has decided to become in 1945: Americans have blown up the nuclear
Bomb, and I then have thought what to be engaged in any moths somehow
Thoughtlessly and nepatriotichno. Entomologija became employment for
Holidays, she allows to clear brains of the nuclear physics.
Insects us interest as the indicator of a status of the surrounding
Environments. The monitoring method is simple enough: we catch butterflies, we calculate
Their quantity, and then by means of mathematical methods it is defined
Their variety. The insects, the more purely biotsenoz are more various,
That is a life in certain territory.
On the Russian norms to estimate an ecological status,
It is necessary to measure about 200 parametres: temperature, chemical
Soil and air structure and many other things. For this purpose it is necessary
200 scientific research institutes! And a method which I have offered,
The agriculturist and even simply fan can apply. By results
Monitoring it is possible to solve, the place from the point of view is how much interesting
The biologist, whether there can be it in the future reserve.
We estimate variety of insects by means of the mathematical
Factor SHennona. Now while methodical processing is conducted
Results. But we can already tell, that within the were
Soviet Union in untouched districts of Turkmenia, Uzbekistan,
On Altai this factor is equal 2-2,5. In India it reaches four
Units. Entomologists consider Altai as a certain evolutionary centre.
Apparently, during a glacial age there there was a refuge for
The live world, and these can explain that there now meet
Butterflies who live and on Kola peninsula. Is still, as
It is strange, the Altay butterflies having identical forms with
Butterflies of the State of Colorado in the USA. Such riddles presents us
The nature. One of successes of our expedition that we here,
In Kuznetsk Ala Taus, have found a kind pjadenitsy which was known earlier
Only on Altai. Such communication of ranges turns out.
- I come from Novokuznetsk, - Victor enters conversation
Sinjaev, - was born "under fence KMK". Our barrack was from kombinatovskogo
Fence in two metres, near to koksovyh batteries. To six
Years I have lived there, after army have left to Moscow, have taken a great interest in butterflies.
Sayan mountains and Altai are well studied by my colleagues, and here Kuznetsk
Ala Tau has appeared "a white stain". Entomofauna it is enough local places
It is poor, but this ridge is natural border between
The European kinds of insects and "sajantsami", that is the kinds occupying
The Eastern Siberia. Three years we with Vladimir Sergeevichem here were going to,
Saved money and at last have arrived.
It is said that there are more than butterflies, than Sinjaev, nobody has opened and
Has not collected. Colleagues consider its as one of the best hunters of butterflies
In Russia and even in the world. It has opened more than three thousand new kinds,
Nearby 30 it is named by his name. And these scientific names remain
Forever not man-made monuments!
Victor is assured, that Red books write to earn
Money and to create visibility of job. These belief not umozakljuchitelnye,
And gained: last year it was lighted already in the international
To the criminal chronicle, having got to prison in the Indian state of Sikkim.
Indians have arrested the Russian entomologists for catching of the protected
Insects in national park.
-In the Red book, - Victor considers, - butterflies bring frequently
By an aesthetic principle: "Ah, what it beautiful and rare!"
And by that deprive of pleasure of thousand, and can, and millions ours
Fellow citizens to catch this beauty, to bring it home and then to recollect
About summer, about those places where it was possible to visit. Or, let us assume,
You go on the car, and about a windshield the superrare breaks
The butterfly. Everything, greetings, you have broken the law. To you threatens at least
The penalty, and can, and prison. Thus, the butterfly brought in
The red book, it is automatically equated to... To a whale. And after all
It reproduces similar in thousand and is intended for
Proforage of other animals! Any titmouse catches on
20-30 thousand butterflies to support the baby birds.
And we in each "pioneer" with a net are inclined to see the criminal!
For six months in a year scientists spend on expeditions. Vladimir
Sergeevich owing to employment and old age (to it already 75!!!)
Goes much less. But there was time - too was absent at home
On half a year, on the basic speciality studying on the high-mountainous
Stations space beams.
My interlocutors reveal some secrets entomologicheskoj
Kitchens. For catching of moths simple adaptations are used
- The current generator, lamp and the screen on which the arrived have a seat
On light insects. The interested copy is covered with a jar
With the cotton wool impregnated etilatsetatom, and within a minute the pale
The beauty falls asleep. For qualitative monitoring it is necessary approximately
One thousand butterflies (is going to on light for one working night so much),
Then the "visiting" schedule is under construction: how much and their what kind arrives.
It appears, having caught the butterfly and having had a look at it unaided
The eye, any opening you will not make. Opening basically do
At the long winter nights (in the afternoon scientists read lectures), having armed
Microscope. New kinds of butterflies find out and distinguish not
It is so much on a pattern on wings, how much on a structure... The genital
Bodies. And that these bodies to consider, it is necessary poor zorku
Or mahaona to weld in alkali then to a review the chitinous will appear
Skeleton of the former beauty. Therefore before returning to Moscow scientists
Also cannot know, they will make opening or not. But on the defined
Visitors count result: their colleagues studied in Kuznetsk
Ala Taus day butterflies also have opened 4 new kinds. As night
Approximately in 10 times more, than day, also new opening
Can happen, probably, about forty.
With exotic of our visitors you will not surprise, they and in Kara Kum happened,
And on Pamir, in jungle of India at local tribes stayed, in Africa,
In places where the white person yet did not see.
- I this year have visited Cambodia, - Vladimir tells
Sergeevich. - before a trip all frightened of problems, and it has appeared,
What is it extremely democratic country. At the airport you pay
10 dollars also walk two months, anybody at all will not take an interest
Your movings. Dangers, of course, meet. Than more poorly
The people, the are more probability of that you will plunder. And in Cambodia
Other problem - the huge mined territories. We co-operate
With international humanitarian organisation "HELP" which is engaged
Mine clearing of the former hot points, with its representative from
Germany Wolfgang Ottenom, we think out colourful posters.
Vladimir Sergeevich - the author not only scientific jobs, but also books
For children. Its book "Dark blue mahaon" for certain is in each school
To library. But that to especially pleasantly author - reading has induced it
Many young men on studying cheshuekrylyh. And all the same we
Very many about butterflies it is not known. It appears, the cabbage white butterfly we
We name bojaryshnitsu. The cabbage white butterfly is known only to Novosibirsk,
And to the east of it still nobody saw. And still, imagine, not
All butterflies eat pollen of the colours, some eat drop. That
Is called, "tastes differ"...
Amuses our visitors belief of some officials from a science,
That children's catching of butterflies leads subsequently... To gangsterism
And to murders. I do not know, whether somebody was set by the purpose to confirm
Such conclusions, and that took a great interest in butterflies great this world,
Not a secret. Draught and love to cheshuekrylym expressed the prime minister
Great Britain CHemberlen, writer Nabokov, the theorist of the official
Socialism Buharin, Grand duke Nikolay Mihajlovich Romanov,
Written 8-languid "Memoirs about butterflies" and presented the collection
Insects (at that time the largest in Russia) young Soviet
To the state. So an example to take to eat from whom. One only the request
At entomologists to "beginners" of all age: "Caterpillars do not press!
Wonderful butterflies grow from them! "
