Children of a gold mine.
Children of a gold mine.
In this Volga village in each house - the jeweller.
Before revolution in rich village Red-on-volge near Kostroma
There lived masters on nonferrous metal - copper utensils, silver
Ware, gold ornaments. After NEPa all handicraftsmen "have tired out
For mozhaj ".
Haunt of vice.
Then, when the socialism has decided to find more or less human
The person, on village suburb the jeweller factory and two schools have put on
To nonferrous metal processing:
The lowest step and average. The factory, carrying out sotsplan, drove vases
From metal skani, cheap silver and gold ornaments,
That in the conditions of total deficiency provided profitability.
Now from factory half of workers has run away, people have moved in
Jeweller handicraftsmen. Imagine the big village in ten
Thousand inhabitants, and in each court yard - a jeweller workshop. At the nights
Through densely curtained windows krasnintsev light makes the way -
Owners conjure with gold.
Recently on the Internet there was a strange information:
Jewellers-private traders from village Red-on-volge have decided to merge in
Public organisation. It is known: the jeweller to the jeweller a wolf. To
To their association only big need can induce. Krasnintsev,
Probably, have worn out. But who? Or what?
... From a bus footboard in Red you go in an impassable dirt,
Because asphalt is not present: village. But with improbable quantity
Jeweller shops.
In the middle of the Red area the building similar to the expensive towers
The hotel is Verhnevolzhsky probirnaja chamber, body
The state supervision of cleanliness of test and legality of a turn
Precious metals. Them in the country only seventeen, also present: one
Has settled down here, in village. However, behind cleanliness of gold numbers
Here the para-three of state institutions watches still: tax police,
UBEB, OMON, militia... All you will not list.
Here house Vjuginyh. A dog was vzlajala, but there and then, wagging
Tail, has gone to a bowl.
- It at them the fifth, four former have poisoned, and the good malicious
Sentry dog at us not so simply to get, - in advance
Companion Vjuginyh has warned me Dima.
On knock in a window there is Vladimir Vjugin, one of initiators
Associations of jewellers. Soon we consider its catalogue -
raspechatannye on the computer leaflets with photos of ornaments. In
Natural kind to show it is not accepted.
I get acquainted with the jeweller technology accepted in Red: in
Dark sheds or the former hen houses five pore the person
Journeymen. They spin chains, grind ringlets. The owner runs
Around also encourages. Teenagers earn in a month from five to
Ten thousand roubles. The first-year student of local school, if not the fool
And not the idler, to the second year already with car.
For this reason in Red agriculture nobody
Is engaged - it is unprofitable. Not that cows or pigs - hens have exhausted that
Absolutely.
Vjugin says what to unite forces not only
The state repressive machinery, but also created by the same
The state public opinion.
- Hearings that we do "dirty gold" are dismissed,
We put false brands. In this occasion buyers called already with
The Far East. And I wish to construct the Trading House. We will employ
probirshchika, on one and a half week in turn in chamber we will not stand.
In Red 1684 businessmen are registered. Main
The universal conflict in village - struggle between factory and
Private traders. Once has burnt down jeweller shop "Ruby", carelessly
Put to one of predprinimatej near to factory. "Look,
Buy nothing from private traders, it is possible to run ", -
The state people addressed me in Kostroma.
Place it, of course, the lush. Here homemade products-jewellers are flown down
From all country as ran to Stenke Razin rebellious ljud. That
Concerns local in jewellers also militiamen here leave, and
Teachers. Even the former chief of militia, having retired, has got
Workshop.
The present main rural militiaman, companion Sidorov, yet
Wishes to repeat a way of the predecessor:
- Them, poor fellows, every month somebody plunders, and they even
To complain are afraid. The militiaman on a threshold will start up... But at us
Absolutely there is no narcotism among youth, - he notices, having thought. - and
There is no unemployment.
Robbers.
Local jewellers should worry on two touches in a month:
One gangster, another - tax police.
House Osmininyh - on village suburb, from its street even a fence
Does not separate. Nearby, in the big pool, beaten thrown "Zhigulis".
More nasty houses are not present, perhaps, in all district, but on knock owners not
Will open. Once, in broad daylight, Vladimir Osminina directly on
Porch three muzhiks with the present pistols have met:
"Spread everything, a dog!".
To Eugene Tatyana have put on a head a pillowcase. Vladimir have connected.
Have then jostled spouses in podpol, whence they and heard, how
Gangsters pull out all from the house.
- On a GAI post, that on departure from village, only cars of the private
Jewellers shmonajut, and at gangsters anybody does not check documents. So
They and drapanuli with our goods, - Vladimir narrates. Them
Have caught in Peter, a month later. Interestingly, after court to us gold
Will return?
- All of you about gold. It is good, that have not killed.
- It is really good, - recognises Osminin. - Speak,
They already thirteen persons have settled, and us for some reason have not touched.
And after all own wholesalers direct. All plunder.
Ilyins, Tjutjukinyh, Christ's. I think, as competitors from factory
Direct. They in the old manner work, and we under the order that want
Let's make. One new Russian a gold chain has reserved in weight ones and a half
Kg!
This chain - a local legend. Business of handicraftsmen becomes on
Poor people. Whatever was poor, and the thin ringlet to a daughter
On vosemnadtsatiletie will buy and on ear rings cheap to wedding
Will save up. And how much such people in the country which to buy will go
To a private trader at whom is cheaper, rather than on factory where in the price all
infrastuktura it is enclosed? Yes the whole country!
Osmininy, as well as the majority krasnintsev, have besides
Mentioned above razvaljuhi and new habitation - spreading domishche from
White brick. Any local jeweller does not break old peasant houses,
They remain not only as workshops, but also as cover
From a malicious eye.
The Tambov wolf it a companion.
Private traders have risen for last two years. But eventually
The state undertook them.
- Absolutely taxes in a minus have tired out, - Vladimir Vjugin complains,
Which the local administration respects for honesty and aspiration
To consolidate a society. - it is fast on three hundred fifty roubles for
Product gramme we will sell, and it already crash. It would be necessary no more
Three hundred, it is better - two hundred fifty. The State thinks, what is it
It us, bogatenkih, presses, and we suffers not the richest
The buyer. Also on prisons drag. I last year 45 days in
SIZO has vegetated. Have accused of illegal sale of silver. Has reduced a two
For purchase and sale, all - it is guilty. We wish to leave a shade, but not
Under a knife. For now we live so: in a "mask-show" shade are provided, you will leave
On light - taxes will strangle.
Here krasninskie jewellers of the lawyer from Kostroma, that also have invited
Writes the charter of public organisation which can bring under
The law on national crafts. Then, ostensibly, taxes will decrease.
- The Tambov wolf it a companion, instead of the law, - estimates
Public fermentation head Probirnoj of chamber Alexander Rjabkov. -
The jeweller by definition the single. "That I am able - I will not show to anybody", -
Here their slogan. I worked at jeweller factory, one has died at us
The master, cooked which alloy, and all: job has stopped! To anybody
It did not open the secrets. What then to speak about a private trader?
Other in a year of 15 kgs of gold processes, but strives
To show three times it is less. And zolotishko at them nasty, to
Test does not hold out. But demand: give us brands, ourselves will be
Test to put. Yes who will give! Still Peter the Great has got in Russia
State probirnye chambers because knew what at us
ljudishki.
Rjabkovu handicraftsmen it is not a pity - there lived how much years and without
Them.
And here rural head Sergey Lozhnikov in the private conflict
Private trader with factory and the state on the party of the handicraftsman. It
Likes the one who gives money in the local budget, and it
The workman. Therefore Lozhnikov creates council on
To business, therefore puzzles over how to force
Jewellers to be thrown off on asphalt in rural streets.
The father.
Recently in Red-on-volge happens strange - in priests
The main artist of jeweller factory Peter Ivanovich has unexpectedly left
CHulkov, the Deserved artist of Russia having all awards.
Its vases gave to secretary general Brezhnev.
The tent church of the Epiphany constructed in п VI a century by boyars
Godunovymi, at Councils, of course, was empty. When CHulkov has received
Arrival, temple was inside absolutely naked. Any icon. From
Kostroma museum of local lore huge works, majatnoj
Bureaucratic correspondence with the culture Ministry has received
CHulkov "an imperial gate", a construction impressive, extreme
Beauty and weights, from the wooden file, gilt, with
Lists. In a Kostroma museum was such a little, stood in
Store rooms.
The father almost does not recollect former job, though the jeweller
Factory - here it, nearby. Only when has come to the God, has felt,
That lives as it is necessary. Has become a widow/widower. One lives, modestly, goes by the beaten

There were an example to children, but not everything, them at Peter Ivanovicha three. After

It and did not take in gold hands. The daughter married for the priest. And
