FATHERS AND CHILDREN.
FATHERS AND CHILDREN.
Galina KOVALENKO "Today".
I WILL PRESENT THE DAUGHTER... TO THE AMERICAN.
"I write in senses and sober mind. At us three children - 18, 12
And 2 years. I do not want, that mladshenkaja a vein in that poverty, in which
There live her parents. Perhaps, any American or
The Englishman will agree to take away to itself our daughter. The girl very much
Interesting, blond, eyes blue, development normal. I not
I sell, and I give this child... "The letter is written by the native father
Vladislavs. On an envelope - a return address. In the far Cherkassk
Village have gone the next day.
In road I all tried to present those inhuman conditions, in
Which there should live family Gerasimjuk to dare to give to strangers
To people the daughter. Tried and... Could not. It seems to me,
Lack of money, absence of habitation, that or another let most
Awful, cannot force to refuse parents the child.
I GIVE, BECAUSE... I LIKE.
In a small hall (it a corridor, kitchen, bathing, a drawing room) on
Beds the owner had a rest, in a unique room that ran
"Blond and blue-eyed". Having seen this matchless krohu, I any more
Doubted: now the daddy will refuse from conceived, together pogorjuem,
Let's have a drink a seagull...
-- Yes, I want, that my child of a visor the provided family. I
I wish to be assured, that the daughter will grow in a civilised country,
Will get worthy education, - 56-year-old Peter Arsentevich
Amazed with confidence of the correctness. - it is important, that it has got in
England, the USA or Germany - there wish to have slavic children.
-- You, probably, do not like the daughter if are ready from it
To refuse, - the conversation subject started to seem to me too
The blasphemous.
-- On the contrary, I like. Therefore I wish to give to reliable hands.
Look, as I live: any conditions, a well for three hundred metres,
Everything, that on the child, - someone's old clothes. I cannot provide it -
Neither clothes, nor a food. Will be even worse further.
I not absolutely understood Peter Arsentevicha - in a court yard geese and hens, in
Shed a pig and goats - milk, fresh eggs, cottage cheese the babe
It is provided. And concerning old clothes... Vlad quite comfortably
Felt in clean, let and darned, rubashonke.
Mum, Elena Ivanovna has joined our conversation, before
Pottering at a plate. It at all did not divide intention of the husband,
Moreover, all time repeated, that will give nobody the babe.
-- All has begun with failure. On February, 24th there was an ice and the car of the husband
Has faced a foreign car. There was a deputy director
Creamery, the former GAI officer. Has demanded 500 "dollars" on repair. Already
Have sold a pig for 400 griven, money has given. Its people come
Almost every day - demand the rest. That day, when the husband
Has written the letter, the deputy director has appointed definitive term, - Lena
It is assured, what is it incident became last drop.
PRO'S AND CON'S.
-- Neighbours differently as "poverty" us do not name, - Lena has continued.
-- Things which to their children are small, - to ours bear. We will wash,
Let's darn - and it is fine. Vlad on May, 29th two years it will be executed, and at it
Still toys was not. Natasha does lessons, and the babe textbooks
Looks through and laughs. Plays...
-- The exit one, - was concluded by the father. Lena on eyes had tears.
A second later the conflict, in which each party, not has inflamed
Noticing my presence, stated all pro's and con's
The overseas future Vlads.
-- The daughter I will not give! Someone from it will be nursed, and I - every night
In a pillow to howl? Oh... I will better run away from you with children... Why you
Has hammered to itself into the head, what all so is bad? Well, now these debts, all
Let's equally pay off with them. The goat of two kids has resulted, a pig
Is, will grow - we will sell. Let today to you the salary have not given -
Tomorrow will give.
-- Here you always adjust yourself that will be better tomorrow.
And I already was undeceived. Vlad and bread vsuhomjatku will is?
Look, that you have not regretted once about it.
-- How I can regret? We so waited for it, recollect, - ten years!
Now we will present to someone?.
-- At us it will not be fast a bread piece!.
-- Let. Spring soon, a kitchen garden we will set...
-- Kitchen garden? It still to plough it is necessary, and for it the tractor operator money
Demands.
-- The shovel is...
-- Yes that you, and at you will suffice forces?.
-- Will suffice!.
-- Give, hold a daughter at itself. But when Vlad will be 17 - 18 years,
You will tell: "Once your daddy wanted, that you has brought up
The American family, and I has turned obstinate, has told, that you will be with
Me ". You are assured, that she will not tell to you:" Mum, is better you
Has obeyed the father! "Here you cry, and I am assured: the only thing, that we
With you we can make for it, - to give now, while it
Small while can easily get used to people. Today to us anybody
Will not help, and so I will be happy, if once a year sends me it
Photo.
-- Go ask Natasha or Artem. They for the little sister in yours
America on foot will go!.
In hot debate have forgotten about children. I have glanced in a room. All time,
While parents argued, Natasha sobbed near the sister. It
Has bent down over sleeping Vladoj, strong pressing a blanket to a bed.
"Do not cry, Natalochka. You will soon grow up, the
narozhaesh ", - its Peter Arsentevich"has calmed". Never to the father
It will be possible to prove to it, that foreign mum and sister are necessary Vlad
More than mum Lena and it. You will think, was not
On a New Year tree of toys - children have made festoons, 8
March nobody has presented sweets and oranges, but a mum's stuffed cabbage with
grechkoj have turned out very tasty. "Tiny desire - soft
Toy for Vlads, I had dolls... ".
THE FIRST STEP IS THE HARDEST.
Peter and Lena long time were on earnings in Siberia. 39-year-old
Lena only has learnt to preserve, to bake one year ago bread ("Earlier
You will receive money - you stint... "). At Peter and Elena behind shoulders
Unfortunate home life. She was confused with the big difference in
Age - 17 years, they are small children of Lena, Artem and Natasha. In
96th have arrived to Berdichev to friends. And to children very much it was pleasant to Lena
The Ukrainian nature, have decided to remain. Have bought a small hut,
Old "UAZ", have got an economy. Peter was arranged on factory
shinomontazhnikom, Lena - in shop the seller. Artem has entered
Umansky TECHNICAL TRAINING COLLEGE on a tiler.
When Lena has become pregnant, all family was glad: Peter with Artem
"Have reserved" the boy, and Natasha with mum dreamt of the girl. From
bolsheglazoj Vlads in delight were all. From maternity home Peter bore the wife on
Hands...
Troubles have begun absolutely unexpectedly. Simply it has not appeared in
The cot house. For thirty griven "have redeemed" second-hand at
Neighbours. The salary Peter began to bring all less often. Troubles fell down
One for another. Somehow in the morning Lena has gone to feed the five-monthly
Pigs, and those already were cold. Peter has bought ten chickens - on
The second day of eight did not become. And here and neighbours have welcomed:
"Return a bed, to us for it 60 griven give. Consider, that
For rent took ". Thieves in a cellar have climbed, all stocks perepolovinili.
As to spite, the hut to be strewed the beginnings. Recently Artem has declared, that in
School it is necessary to bring ten griven, and Natasha quietly
Has complained, that at school for a dinner sausage gave ("On the school
Dinners it is necessary three grivni in a week and where them to take? "). Peter has received 12
griven for December. Then this failure...
"WILL NOT GIVE THE DAUGHTER - I WILL STEAL".
Confidence of the father that will be better than the daughter in "American"
To family also that it will not come into the hands of dealers children, surprises. In
Time of squabble with wife Peter all time appealed to its sensible
To sense, to reasonable actions. "Pity sometimes to the detriment of the person,
As well as blind parent love, - it convinced the wife, which to these
Time nurses the babe. - is better not to regret, time pereplakat ".
- What are you silent, advise how to be? - Peter has asked
Arsentyevich. Whether will listen to council - to look for other job,
To be arranged in collective farm, to ask for the chairman hectare of the earth,
To look happiness in other place, at last, to find for the native brother
Peter who lives in Canada? All arguments have been settled (feelings and
Emotions in the bill did not undertake). It is paradoxical, but the family receives on
To Vlad 16 griven 60 copecks monthly - more than has brought in
Last time the father. And more: all the same it will not be possible to Peter Arsentevichu
To realise the plan, not having violated the law.
-- I hate myself, I despise, I am afraid, that all it will finish me and I
I will impose on myself hands. Here if only the daughter to attach. If the wife not
To agree, I will steal and I will bring to the Western Ukraine, to border
More close...
INSTEAD OF THE EPILOGUE.
-- Parents should refuse the child officially, to assure refusal
At the notary, - the director of the centre for adoption of children speaks at
The Ministry of Education Tamara Kunko. - Then the child is put
On the account on a residence. If it within a month will not adopt
The Ukrainian family, materials are passed in area, then in our centre
-- Only then the child becomes the candidate on international
Adoption. Chances, that this girl will get to a foreign family,
It is not enough. The Ukrainians, wishing to adopt the girl till three years, stand
In turn. Most likely, the babe will take away in the first month.
"The Kiev debuts" on a philharmonic society scene.
It in days of Mozart it was unique and unique
The wonderful child. Now our young quite could compete with it
Virtuosos who are prepared by average special school of N.Lysenko. At
Teachers Natalia Gridnevoj and Valery Kozlova children are engaged,
Winning prestigious international competitions. On Tuesday
The next concert of a cycle "the Kiev debuts" has taken place,
Organised by the National philharmonic society and assistance Fund
To development of arts of Ukraine. 12-year-old Andrey Jaroshinsky and Vadim
Holodenko and 16-year-old Lilian Akopova - quite generated,
Absolutely versatile musicians whom public accepts "on
To growth ", and sees off - on talent.
The blues and fate from Poured Ivanovoj.
The new album "Special case" marks abrupt turn in career
Singers Poured Ivanovoj. "Eclecticism of many styles with prevalence
Blues and fate elements ", - so the grand lady of the Bulgarian platform
Estimates album sounding. The Compact disc which has been written down on the Sofia
Studios "п я п ", opens the new parties of its performing talent.
"Long years I lived with belief that I can not sing anything, except
That has been written for me to Bulgaria ", - speaks Ivanov.
The confidence of that all can be differently, has come to it to time
One of numerous foreign tours, but the decision abruptly
To change the performing manner it has accepted in before last
To year, at the next festival "Gold Orfej". Since then all the
The variety star has devoted a free time to job over "Private
Case ". And Lili Ivanov's next solo concert gives in Moscow
Today.
To Dutches show, that such the present love.
"The present love" - so is called this cartoon, on which John
Lennon has represented itself and wife Joko It. The leader of "Beatles" has represented
The well-known scene: in the honeymoon (in 1969) John and Joko not
Got out of bed exactly week (by the way, thus
Newly-married couple struggled for world peace!), and then, all as laying
In bed, have started to itself in a room of fans and reporters. In
Lennon's drawing visitors can see a current of the next month
The art exhibition opened one of these days in hotel in Amsterdam.
