Military-air family.
Military-air family.
The Russian aircraft keeps in public from the Vologda remote places.
For the first time Alexander has seen a steam locomotive only in the beginning 70, when
Has gone to arrive in the Riga military aerotechnical
School. But planes in it Kich. Small town then flied so more often,
What to be winded on them behind milk mushrooms or on dances was usual business.
For May, 9th Sashkin batja, the front-line soldier-aircraft technician, told
To sons as played with companions on brought down "Junkerss" in maps. And
Here also Gagarin with the "Have gone!". Well as here you will not become
The pilot...
Kirkin against Khruschev.
The father of my interlocutor - Alexander Kirkina - the muzhik was
The fighting. During Great Domestic - the commissioner of a battalion.
After war - the director Great Domestic - the commissioner
Battalion. After war - the director kich.-gorodetskogo "Zagotzerna".
"At Khruschev the father have sent the chairman of collective farm to village, -
Alexander Ivanovich tells.
- And batja take yes tell on a district committee bureau: I will not go supposedly to it
To the fool corn to put... It there and then from party have excluded ".
Sashka same basic was. In the questionnaire at receipt in
School so directly also has scribbled: "the Father is excluded from CPSU numbers for
Disagreement with a party line ". Well still the chief of educational department
Colonel Polevaev, totemsky the muzhik, has noticed. "The fellow countryman! Yes you
That!. Not for a wine-glass or a skirt, and for disagreement with party?! Urgently
Write something another, and that a horse-radish you will arrive... ".
By then, when Alexander has arrived from Riga home on
The first vacation, has already removed Khruschev.
- I come, and to me batja tells, how its first secretary
obkoma CPSU Drygin nearly has not shot, - Alexander recollects
Ivanovich. - it has come somehow to Dryginu, and that speaks to it supposedly
Ivan Ivanovich, we here have got excited, give you in party
Let's restore. And batja: "Not you in communists accepted me, not to you and
To restore!. "So Drygin all has already turned white - a table box
Opens, gets a pistol: "You, Kirkin, have become impudent absolutely!
I will shoot!. "The muzhik was abrupt...
Alexander: 4 months in air.
15 years, with 1967 on 1982, Alexander the board-engineer flew away on
Transport "An-12". Has visited almost those all hot points
Years: Czechoslovakia, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Ethiopia... Saw that,
That remains behind a shot of one-sided Soviet propagation, and
Therefore to listen to it it is possible hours.
"In August 1968 our regiment have lifted on alarm directly with
Solemn meeting, - tells Kirkin. - It is come on
Airdrome. To us put a problem: we fly to Prague. And an arrow speak:
"After border with Czechoslovakia force down everything, that flies above 800
Metres ".
We had a seat in Prague as on parade - the plane behind plane through
30 seconds! In the world anybody such did not do. So, on some
To data, for that night in capital of Czechoslovakia village our 700 (!)
Transports with a landing ".
But the brightest memoirs remained with it from Vietnam. "I
Saw, how those whom Americans named "the yellow behave
Monkeys ". The wounded Vietnamese - to a foot a barbed wire lays
The bamboo stick is adhered, the bone sticks out. Eyes are closed, and on them
The fly creeps. Well, I go, I think - a corpse, and mechanically a fly a hand
Has driven. And it suddenly opens eyes. Looks at me and is silent,
You represent! Suffers - and a sound. Character!. ".
And with a smile Alexander Ivanovich recollects the Vietnamese
To the favourite of our pilots - obezjanke to Chita. Pilots treated often
Its sweets, and one has played a trick once: has turned in a candy wrapper a nut.
The monkey has instantly pushed "candy" in a mouth and under the loud
gogot pilots long tried razgryzt zhelezjaku.
The angered Chita has severely revenged the offender. When the mocker
Peacefully slept at itself in hotel, the monkey has made the way to it in number,
Has on the sly got on a bed and... Has spoilt pohrapyvajushchemu
To the muzhik it is direct on the person.
... Before an exit on pension Alexander flied two years in
Afghanistan on "a black tulip" - transported zinc coffins in the Union
With the killed soldiers. Kabul, to Hooks, coffins, coffins, coffins...
Pilots, and not only in Afgane perished also. "During my service 6
Crews of our regiment in the earth has laid down, - Alexander frowns
Ivanovich.
Now 56-year-old Alexander Kirkin lives in Kich. Small town together
With second wife Valentina. Pigs, mushrooms-berries, a kitchen garden -
Usual pension life. But if on the TV show a plot
About aircraft, from the screen it not to tear off. The sky is for ever...
Valentine:
"JApona mother!.".
Valka has entered Riga aviatechnical a year later. Only
Speciality has chosen another - has gone on radio faculty. After
Studies the destiny has thrown it in Transbaikalia.
Once in Chita the Japanese has quite unexpectedly landed
The plane. At Japanese something has broken, and they asked the help.
Kirkina have changed clothes for "citizen" and have sent to repair the foreign
To the technician. Having thought it is a little, Bringing down breakage has eliminated, than has called
Delight of foreigners. It also has predetermined its further destiny.
Just those days in Chita there was a commander-in-chief of the Air Forces. The radio engineer,
Repaired difficult Japanese equipment, as encouragement
Have translated to service to monetary Hungary. Then there was an academy of
Zhukovsky, transfer to Engels the Saratov area, a post
The engineer of a division on radio equipment and a rank of the lieutenant colonel.
Today Valentine Kirkin - too the military pensioner.
All lives in the same place, in Engels.
"Winged" Nikolay.
Kolka, lagging behind on age from Sashki and Valki on some
Years, since the childhood raved "winged infantry". The guy it was persistent -
As bratelniki dissuaded, dream has not refused. Has arrived
In well-known Ryazan school VDV.
As well as brothers foretold, Kohl has got "vankoj-platoon" in
Fergana and as ugorelyj rushed with tell-tales. Then time has come
Afghanistan where he was at war three years. Has been wounded - has hooked
Splinter, it is awarded by an award of the Red star. "Fights there went
Severe, - Alexander Kirkin, - from kolkinoj roty tells
There was in live one and a half ten person... ".
Nikolay has survived in this hell, has finished academy and has served to
The chief of an operations section of Tula division VDV. Has left in
Resignation in a rank of the lieutenant colonel.
In general sometimes it seems, that Kirkinyh strongly connect with the sky
Any hidden threads. Judge. Anatoly, younger from
Brothers though did not become the pilot, but urgent served in a landing.
Nikolay and Alexander's sons too not "overland": one - were
The officer-commando, another - in civil aircraft.
Destinies of seven relatives have anyhow intertwined with
Aircraft - than it you will explain? Than to explain, that the main dream
56-year-old (!) Alexander Kirkina - in 2002 to jump with
Parachute together with Nikolay who will mark the
The 50 anniversary? It seems to me, and in 90 years this will live in them not clear
Bent for to heavens...
To heavens promised...
Andrey Ivanov.
