The new native land of Russian Germans: a mosaic of impressions.
The new native land of Russian Germans: a mosaic of impressions.
"Mum, listen! They talk in another way! - with astonishment
My four-year-old daughter has screamed. And after podavlenno has told: -
I do not understand them.
And how much still was udivleny not only daughters, but also mine. To
To example, there is at them a mysterious word "term".
That Germans designate a word "der Termin", in Russian
No analogue has. If to consult a dictionary, you will find not absolutely
Exact, but hardly helping to understand an essence definition "term, date".
For each German concept it is almost sacred. "Term" - a core
German life, pull out it is also all it will be scattered. It appoint not
Only at the doctor and the hairdresser, not only for business meetings and
Official actions. A friendly wine party and even the romantic
Appointment should be accurately planned and brought in
Calendar-instruction. At immigrants of the histories connected with
"Term", one million, on sense they are identical: has not appointed
"Term", do not go - you will waste time. And it would be desirable to compare the German
With terminatorom from a film, programmed on the defined
The purpose and not receding on an iota from the set. But also to it gromile
It is necessary to submit to elements of a life. After all the life also is good that
It is full of unexpectedness!
The phrase from the letter of Magdalena Pfunt was one of unexpectedness
To sister to Siberia. "I am glad, that it has appeared on an old age of years in
To this country. It is glad at least because will bury me here, on
Cosy and beautiful cemetery what I in a life did not see. Here
It is necessary to arrive only to lay among colours, in
To well-groomed tomb... ".
Cemetery really amazingly beautiful place. Accurate
Tombs are covered by marble slabs in which centre flowers grow,
And on some there is a small small lamp. Relatives look after for
Tombs, landing in the early spring pansies, hardly later
Other flowers, on taste and on a season. On all cemetery are laid
Asphalt paths. There are benches for rest, tanks with water
And plastic watering cans. Faded flowers are there and then cleaned from tombs,
Cleanliness is supported. A cemetery - entirely a carpet of bright colours and
Greens.
Burial and payment of all expenses usually incur
Relatives of the died. If there are any problems
(Relatives happen everyones), judicial authorities can in
Compulsory order, up to the property description to collect
Cost of funeral. If funeral appears unreasonable burden for
The relatives who do not have means for payment, will help the social
Department and church community. The majority of people leave
Wills where regulate a question of the funeral.
It is enough expenses on burial. The right to using
Tomb costs five hundred stamps for fifteen years. After it
Time the tomb can be "bought" for new term. If behind it not
Look after, workers of a cemetery clean everything, leaving the equal
Place which in some years will give under the repeated
Burial place. State duties on various inquiries and certificates,
Fees to the doctor (if necessary) demand small expenses.
The most expensive - services of a funeral bureau and burial.
The died person is not three days of the house, as at us. Right after
Death take away it in a funeral bureau and will make there all
The necessary. In day of burial hour, when is appointed
Relatives can say goodbye with late in a special hall.
Other expenses at will: wreaths, flowers, announcements in
To the newspaper, gravestone speeches, burial service, music. The bureau can on
Necessities to organise commemoration in cafe. For the most simple
Burial the funeral office raises approximately 3200-3600 stamps.
The average German spends for funeral on the average ten
Thousand stamps.
And here lines from Valentine Sergeevicha's N letter, already from
Siberia to Germany. "... Explain, please, why at you is not present
Flies? For them as it seems to me, there are no borders. It to spit
On customs posts and dosmotry. The fly flies to itself yes flies in
Poland, and then through kitchen gardens to Germany. So why at you is not present
Flies? Or here still a question: whether there are there such beautiful fences, as at
Us, in an alley? And boys too break them?. ".
Flies there really are not present. I think, thanks to constant
To supported cleanliness in everything, and also the thought over system of gathering
Dust and a food waste. For a paper, for example, it is provided
The blue container, for products - brown. Two huge
The container for all quarter for stekloposudy, white for the white
Glasses, green - for green. Is still grey, white (with
Symbolics of a red cross) and other containers. So in cities, in
Rural district to me to happen it was not necessary. It is said that on
Farms of flies suffices.
As to fences, there they... The live. That is sites
Before houses, small small squares of the earth where there are containers,
Are surrounded by a bush forming a green hedge.
And children everywhere are identical, happens, in football drive on road,
Can to break a window also. The children who have arrived from Russia, in
The majority differ a wide outlook and
Ingenuity. If they quickly adapted and have learnt
Language they perfectly are guided in the new country and it is good
Study.
"Job is heavy? - I ask the neighbour in a platform, whether a Czech,
Whether the Yugoslav living in Dillenburge more of twenty years.
"No, I sit, buttons I press yes I write, - translates me
Alexander Rajmundovich. And all. A uniform superfluous word. Try
Guess, where it works! As a matter of fact, Germans not
Very much are interested in a life of others. They are in own way closed,
Are selfish. And it would be desirable to compare their life to a life of a snail.
Left, has worked and has hidden in the house-bowl. The house has
Special value, as well as the good car. Mobility and
Independence are for them the greatest freedom and
Advantages in a life. For example, use of the car for
Trips on job, in shop and in holiday is so
Itself understood, that one only the thought, that all it can
And not to be, it is represented attempt at the most expensive, at bases
Lives.
One of life bases - good job. Today in Germany more
Four and a half millions unemployed. As to
Immigrants... Judge.
Irina Kiffer in Kazakhstan worked as the bookkeeper, zavskladom
Autospare parts. Today it - puttsfrau, that is the cleaner. "I
It is happy with the position, - Irina speaks. - me forty five,
To be retrained late, the minimum five years' experience for pension I
I will earn and so. My advantage - weight of a free time and
The saved forces which I can give to children ". The husband
Irinas Antons works on one of factories in Dillenburge, not bad
Earns, but its revenue 10 times less, than at
The local. In Germany it is not accepted to ask about that, how much you
You earn, but I have found some figures in a local press.
The annual salary of the federal president - 411 thousand stamps,
The head physician - 145 thousand. The driver of the lorry earns 40
Thousand 600 stamps. The cleaner - 34 440. The meat kg costs from three
Stamps for chicken gammons to five-seven for a good cutting.
Feel a difference in a standard of living!
Dvadtsatishestiletnjaja Natali Ruder has moved to Berlin through
Some time after leaving school. In Kazakhstan at it was not
Possibilities to study. Here such possibility has appeared - it
Has successfully finished training to hotel business and works one
From the big hotels in Berlin. Madly likes the job and almost
Recollects Kazakhstan. Unless when thinks of mother, which
Has preferred to remain there with the liked person.
The seller in prestigious shop "п п я п п я я " Barbara once was
The usual bookkeeper. Looking for job in Germany, it has born
Much. The diploma of the bookkeeper in not clear reasons to confirm not
It was possible, having visited couple of days computer courses, she has understood, that
It not for it. By miracle it was arranged in shop. Sociability
Barbara who are coming nearer to balzakovskomu to age, has allowed it
To become one of the best sellers. Thus it appreciate and knowledge
Russian - often the help in a choice is necessary to immigrants
The goods.
Colleagues-Germans some times tried "to trip up it". But
After visit to the managing director it not only have not dismissed, but also
Have raised the salary, having warned that it held a uvula for
Teeth.
Here such different histories confirming one: who is accurate
Knows, that he wants, that will achieve the.
We have met Galina Paul on a party. Then, in
To easy conditions, she has told to me about dream,
Which to it and did not manage to be carried out. And the reasons for that to me
Have seemed rather unusual.
From the childhood Galina dreamt to become medical sister. But
Circumstances have developed so, that has ended institute, at all
Concerning medicine. It became the bookkeeper. And
Has worked by a trade more than ten years. Having arrived to Germany,
Has decided to carry out dream and, planning further to end
Medical courses while has gone to work puttsfrau in hospital. That,
That she there has seen, has beaten off at it long-term desire. And Galina
Has decided to remain easier cleaner. And hardly it was possible to me later
To visit hospital and personally to see about what told
Galina.
The grandmother Magdalena have put in hospital, and I have come it
poprovedat. When lift doors have opened, I have thought, that have got
In picture gallery - walls decorated Claude Manet's reproductions.
Attentively having seen indexes, has found the necessary chamber and has found
The grandmother at dinner.
"Here all so feed?" Instead of a greeting and a question about
Health I ask it. On an individual tray salad from the fresh
Vegetables, a potato, fish in kljare, sour cream and a fresh strawberry.
- Every morning any patient reserves that would be desirable it, -
There was an answer.
In chamber three convenient and modern beds, near each of
Them a bedside table. Phone, the TV, a table and a case for clothes and footwear.
In a corner the bathroom closed by a dense curtain. Cleanliness ideal,
Bed-clothes change every morning. Within five minutes, while I
Was in chamber, there was a nurse twice - that waters to pour
To weaker neigbours of the grandmother of Magdalena, something else.
To all patients after careful inspection give out the detailed
Computer map with the disease description, offered way
The treatments, accompanied by colour photodrawings. It allows
To understand, that to you occurs and as it is treated. In a map
The place for the questionnaire with which the patient fills is taken away, responding on
Questions, if necessary puts podpis-soglasie on operation.
Galina Paul has pushed away from realisation of the dream
The following. The matter is that nurses in Germany carry out a little
Other functions, than in Russia. For example, they have no right to do
Injections, neither intravenously, nor intramuscularly. It is a duty
The doctor. By the way, because of it at "our" doctors often arise
Problems with diploma acknowledgement. If patient stoshnilo,
The nurse should clean, puttsfrau it does not enter into duties.
Nurses wash bed patients, look after them, watch for
Execution of necessary procedures. As Galina was expressed: "Go
Bring yes submit. No, is better I will wash windows and to wipe a dust ".
At each cleaner the individual cart on which costs
The bucket, disinfecting and washing-up liquids, gloves and rags. On
Her a lovely blue dressing gown and a kerchief. She accurately knows the
Duties such quantity of hours which is defined also works
Specificity of branch...
From destiny, speak, you will not leave. Live you though in Germany, though in
Russia. Someone finds the happiness in our mad and great
To the country, someone on the new old native land. Alexander Rajmundovich and
Ida Egorovna Fuksy live there and recollect Russia.
- To me to go a roof to repair, - Alexander worries
Rajmundovich for the house, left daughters.
They attentively listen to news, the political look
Transfers, with greed catching the information from Russia. Buy
Russian-speaking newspapers. There comes spring, and they undertake a shovel,
Dig over the pjatachok the earths, the bed cut. Have not got used
To sit without the business, all their life - job. In the evenings old men like
To walk on narrow dillenburgskim to streets, to call on the such
As they, to hares to exchange news and to argue. Collect
Parcels to children in "union", are on duty on an entrance and in territory near
At home.
Have a nap after dinner, often listen to Russian music. But
To come back do not want, unless on a visit.
The termination. The beginning in number for July, 6th.
Tatyana BERG.
