Who heats hands on tenants "gostinok"?
Who heats hands on tenants "gostinok"?
About 15 years ago with rather poor belongings and iridescent hopes, in
The companies with the same young experts, recent
Graduates of high schools, we drove to a family hostel on b-ru
Builders in Kemerovo. In family archive near to brand new
The marriage certficate carefully stored the warrant on the first in a life
Separate habitation, room of hotel type. During the stagnant
Socialism, when housing-and-municipal building at the very least,
But moved ahead and, having staid on turn of years five-ten, it is possible
Was to receive the decent habitation corresponding to requirements by yours
Families, "gostinki" solved a problem let time, but separate
Habitation for young families.
Have been conceived "gostinki" well: at an input sat
The grandmother-watchman, at it was mail, at it it was possible and
Keys to leave for the forgetful spouse. On each floor were
Public kitchens with sinks and electric furnaces. In
Rooms specially intended for it were shop nadomnogo
Work, a children's room, a red corner with library, point
Hire. But, alas, after a while have ceased to function
nadomnyj shop and hire, in a red corner and a children's room
Enterprising mistresses began to dry linen, and later these premises
Also have been at all converted and given someone under habitation.
To the beginning of 90th years young families "pervoposelentsev"
Have parted from hostels: someone has received apartment at the enterprise,
Someone has exchanged for the same apartment "gostinku". Then have left from
Hostels and we. However after some years to me with a family again
It was necessary to lodge in the same house.
Here already nothing reminds former cheerful "malosemejku".
Public balconies where are hammered by boards where are put in pawn by a brick,
Inside doors from corridors and from ladder platforms have disappeared, and
On long corridors along numbers of iron doors the cold walk
Draughts. The contingent of tenants of a hostel has changed also. Now it in
The majority socially unsuccessful and needy
Families, lonely pensioners, idle persons. For anybody any more
Secret, that hostels - most kriminogenno a dangerous zone in
Lenin area. Thefts, drug traffic, the spirit, drunk
Uproars, fights are an everyday life our hostel. Tenants were hid for
Iron doors, but also it does not rescue. Swindlers heavy have learnt
Garage locks almost fingers to open. Wanted there were we the
Room on the alarm system to put, but militiamen only hands
Have dissolved. Do not take a hostel under protection, phones are not present. And on
Telephone exchange too with hands plant, because
telefonizirovat hostels it is not necessary. But though to insure the
Property I can? But also in the insurance company us have met the same
Sad gesture. Do not insure "gostinki" against a fire or theft.
Probably, because the risk is too great. In such situation at
Hostel doors not the grandmother-watchman should sit, and submachine gunners in
Bullet-proof vests. But there is no, of course, submachine gunners, even a watchman.
Apparently, behind absence all the same grandmother even mail we
Now it is not received. That is at all we do not receive, letters,
Telegrammes, and writing out any periodical press, and speeches
Cannot be. But if suddenly any stray soul recollects about
To me also will send by a holiday a card I can receive it at
The commandant in the business hours, two times in a week, in the middle
The working day. If I, working daily, do not have time to take away
The message it, having lain, with ardent greetings will return
To the sender.
Many owners "gostinok", not wishing to live in them, hand over
The rooms to lodgers, not looking at, whether young it is a family,
Whether students or "Caucasians". More often owners
Change the rooms for apartments, having extinguished debts
Any strong drinking uncle Vasi under the rent and having given out to it
On hands the unlimited sum of money, having added to it to steam of bottles of vodka.
Having moved, the newly made tenant of a hostel, in the company to itself
Similar neighbours, house warming, months not starts to celebrate in
Forces to stop.
Officially "gostinka" it is not considered constant habitation, and on
Its law cannot be privatised, bought, sold, passed
By right of succession, though bulletin boards dazzle with type inscriptions:
"I will sell KGT" or "Purchase KGT, I will legalise papers". So, means,
All the same it is possible?
At huge population density in "gostinkah" a payment for them,
It would seem, should be minimum, but far from it. Ours
The family from four persons pays for a room as much, how much
The similar family living in 4-roomed apartment. Payment for
The electric power in a hostel fixed - 9 rbl. from the person.
It would seem, a little, but in a month leaves more than pays
Notorious family, in addition to the 4-roomed apartment
Owning a full set of home appliances. To prove, that two
Bulbs, a teapot and an iron cannot eat so much electricity,
It is impossible: it after all a hostel, and the individual electric metre
At us is not present. The payment for the lift - 7 rbl. invariably is amazing with
The person even if to the person three years and it uses the lift one
Once a day, in the evening, coming back with mum from a kindergarten, and
In the morning stamps legs from 8th floor on a ladder, as the lift
Works only on lifting, and and only on four floors from
Nine.
Certainly, any tenant of the many-storeyed as much pays for the lift
At home, but after all there, in the usual house, 36 apartments use the lift,
And in a hostel - 360!
Involuntarily the conclusion, that existence of hostels arises in
That kind in which they are, to someone it is favourable. Only in Leninsk
Area about 40 hostels, in each of which not less than 360
Rooms, and in each room live where one-two, and where also four, and
Five persons, with which for ugly close, inconvenient and cheap
The habitation undertakes the sound payment making to one third
The family budget. So if "gostinka" is high-grade
Habitation, allow to me it to privatise, spend phone, to put
On the alarm system to use the post address, at last!
And if is not present, why till now there is no program of moving
Inhabitants of "hostels", grantings to especially requiring families
Apartments, let not free, but on favourable terms, probably,
At replanning of the same houses where there were hostels? No
The answer?
Walking in the evening along the street, I very much like to look in the shined
Windows of houses though it and is indecent and to dream of the apartment with
The present kitchen, separate bedroom and "lying" bathroom. We with
The husband we can buy apartment if we will monthly postpone
One salary. However, years through twenty. If we will live.
