Masinyane qhubekela phambili ekuchazeni ababambiqhaza abaphambili ezenzakalweni ezihlongozwe yimina kulesi sigaba samacala.
Owokuqala ohlwini nguMajor General Ottila Aligadzhievich Klop. Kubo bonke abamzungezile, wayengeyona ukukhula okujwayelekile – amashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nesishiyagalolunye nesishiyagalolunye.
Uyabuza: «Kepha wamukelwa kanjani ezinhlwini zabaqaphi be-oda, ngemuva kwakho konke, ngemuva kwemitha eyodwa nesigamu ngeke bamukelwe ebuthweni, futhi ngaphandle kwebutho ngeke bathathwe ukuba ngabaqaphi …". Kepha yena – icala elikhethekile: Unina nabazali bakhe babemkhonze esikhundleni sikababa wakhe, izakhamizi ezijwayelekile zeRussian Federation, ezazinezimpande zobuJuda. Kungukuthi umama wakhe, owake waba seminyakeni eyinkulungwane eyedlule, lapho umhlaba wawungasasebenzisi amakhompyutha yonke indawo kanye ne-Great Soviet Union, wazihlanganisa ngokuzithandela nezinhlaka zemikhosi yamazwe aphesheya, umsebenzi wayo okwakuwukuhlanza abagulayo ngemuva kokukhipha ithipeworm. Futhi lokhu kwenzeka ezweni elithile lase-Afrika futhi izizwe zakudala zama-pygmies ase-Central African kwatholakala ukuthi ziyagula, esinye sazo, noma kunalokho umholi uqobo, nguMdala Omkhulu, iminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amabili yekhalenda lakhe mdala, futhi njengoba ontanga bakhe bekhale (bafa) kudala, ngakho-ke, labo abakhumbula ukuzalwa kwakhe babengekho futhi wayekwazi ukuthi umama wakhe uyiLanga, futhi uyise uyiNyanga, njll. njll.. Yebo, umama wesikhathi esizayo ka-Ottila wayengakholelwa kule nganekwane, kodwa akazange acasuke, wamane wamomotheka futhi wavuma ngekhanda ku-Great Old-Timer yawo wonke amadoda oMhlaba. Ngemuva kokuthi yena, esathole ukuphathwa ngumholi, bebezama okumangazayo okumangazayo: amehlo e-bison othosiwe ku-garlic kasoso, ehogela amaqanda endlovu enoshukela we-chocolate, ibhisikidi elisha legazi lomsizi osanda kuphulukana no-Ivan Kozimovich Pupkin osanda kuqala kanye nojusi wezithelo weCoca kolwesithathu… Ngokujwayelekile, umama okhulelwe uvukile futhi impilo yakhe yayingasenandaba.
Futhi ngokomthetho wesizwe samaPygmy, ukuphakama okuphakathi kwesosha kanye nomqaphi we-oda bekungamasentimitha angamashumi ayisishiyagalombili futhi kungabi ngaphezu kwamamitha amahlanu nesigamu amasentimitha, kunjalo, uyiswe emaphoyiseni abo futhi wathunyelwa nokushintshana ngolwazi eRussia. Ngakho-ke wahlala kwinkonzo: wayethola indawo yokuhlala unomphela, njenganoma yisiphi isisebenzi esivakashayo, futhi njengoba eyisakhamuzi saseRussia Federation ngasikhathi sinye, akekho owayengamxosha. Ngamafuphi, konke kungenzeka ezweni lethu, ikakhulukazi imali. Kepha bekufanele adlule ekuqeqeshweni kwezempi noyise esizweni agcwalise indlovu esivivinyweni. Lokhu kuvezwe embhalweni owethulwe endaweni yezimfuno, obuthelwe esiswini sika-Ottila uvunyelwe yi-UNESCO. Kuyiqiniso, omunye umbhalo wawunamathiselwe kuwo, yize wawungekho emthethweni, wawubukeka njengekhulu lamakhulu ayikhulu. Futhi ngaphezulu kakhulu embhalweni oyinhloko kukhonjisiwe ukuthi wayesebenzela isikhundla samabutho amasosha esifundeni esenyakatho naseningizimu yesizwe esibizwa ngeNakatika Ui Buka. Vele, le ndondo yanikezwa yona ngenxa kayise ngempilo, ikakhulukazi njengoba isizwe sabo sasohlwini lwemikhosi ye-UN.
U-Ottila osemncane uthole lesi sigameko esilandelayo ekusebenzeni kwesizwe, ngokunemba, wadlula izivivinyo ku: umnsalo, waphonsa i-tomahawk, «ekhuphuka iziqu», ezamvumela ukuthi akhuphuke, omabili kuma-verticals asezingeni nangezinduna. Wayengaphonsa futhi imilenze yomibili phezu kwezakhe noma zabanye izindlebe, futhi, ebambe phansi zombili izandla, akwazi ukudansa umdanso wompompi, enze okokuphindeka kathathu phezulu, eceleni kwendlela, phambili, emuva abuyele ngaphandle ngaphandle kokuthinta phansi. Wafunda ukufuya amakati, izinja nezinye izilwane eziwolayo nezidlayo, kufaka phakathi omiyane, izimbungulu, izintwala namabhere amnyama.
Ngemuva kokuthi u-Ottila ethunyelwe ngesicelo sakhe uqobo futhi ngenxa yokugula kukanina, wathunyelwa eMnyangweni Wezangaphakathi njengoMabhalane – owayengusondelene noMarshall, ayengakaze ambone ngamehlo akhe, kodwa wezwa izwi lakhe emsakazweni nangocingo olukhethekile. Ngemuva kweminyaka engamashumi amathathu nambili, wadluliselwa edolobhaneni laseSokolov Ruchey, eLeningrad Region, naseSt. Petersburg, ujantshi waseLyuban, ngenxa yokuncishiswa kwezinto zokusebenza kwezokuphatha.
Babemenzela umpheme, isikole esake sasebenza. Ingxenye yokuqala yendlu yayihlala ezakhiweni zezindlu, kwathi eyesibili yayihloswe njengendawo eqinile.
Bese kuthi u-Ottila Aligadzhievich ahlala ehhovisi lakhe abhale ikota, bese ngokushesha, umbiko wonyaka. Uyashesha, wenza amaphutha, udidanisa amagama ngezilimi, futhi wayazi inqwaba yazo, kufaka phakathi: isiFulentshi, izinhlanga zomdabu, izilimi ezinhlanu ezihlukene zaseSoviet, isiLatin, isiRashiya esikhulunywayo, izincwadi zesiRussia, i-fenya yaseRussia, isiRussia engenakhaya.
Uyabhala, abhale, bese indodana yendodana eyishumi iza ehhovisi lakhe:

U-Ottila wabheka indodana yakhe ngendlela yobaba, ngaphandle kokwehlisa ikhanda, wathatha imilenze yakhe esihlalweni esikhethekile esinezitebhisi ezitebhisini emilenzeni eseceleni, wasukuma, waguquka wayohlala etafuleni. Ngenhliziyo wabheka phansi indodana yakhe ngokusebenzisa izibuko, wayibeka phansi esicongweni secala lakhe wayibuza, wayibuka ngamehlo endodana yakhe futhi engaphakamisanga ikhanda lakhe, okwenze ikhanda lakhe lalimala nentamo yakhe yashona. Wabheka wonke umuntu kusukela phansi kuya phezulu. Kuphinde kwehle nesikhundla sakhe sokuba yisakhamuzi. Futhi ngisho nangaphezulu phambi kwendodana eyakhula njengomntwana ojwayelekile. Futhi manje, ehleli etafuleni, wayekwazi ngisho nokugquma amashiya akhe amnyama.

Ubaba wabheka ngakwesobunxele esweni likamkhulu wakhe onamehlo amancanyana, wabe esengena ngakwesobunxele ngamehlo, indodana yakhe ayithola kugogo wakhe omkhulu, bathi wayengumShayina, kodwa kwaba yiRussia kuphela. Umkakhe kanjalo; ukuphakama, isisindo nobubanzi besinqe ngamakhulu amabili. Unezinwele ezimhlophe futhi unamehlo aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ngaphandle, ngokungafani nobaba onamehlo abomvu.

Indodana yajabula futhi yabalekela engxenyeni yokuqala yendlu.
Umshushisi wesibili futhi umsizi wokuqala wamaphoyisa esifundeni, uCorpor Intsefalopat Harutun Karapetovich, owayengumbhali wesifo sokuqina, uthole umsebenzi wokuthatha umhlalaphansi ophakathi nendawo, ngenxa yomka-Ottila, u-Isolda Fifovna Klop-Poryvaylo. Wayemude kathathu kunomphathi wakhe futhi emncane amahlandla amahlanu kunowenkosikazi yakhe. Ikhala livinjelwe, njengokhozi namadevu, njengoBudyonny noma uBarmaley. Sekukonke, indodana yangempela yezintaba, okuthe ekuqaleni kwePerestroika, yehlela usawoti, yakhubeka futhi yaqagela endaweni eyi-gorge, khona lapho emotweni yemithwalo evulekile ngaphandle kophahla, ngamalahle avela eTbilisi-SPb isitimela sezimpahla. Esiteshini, uLyuban waphaphama wagxuma. Usebenze lapha nalaphaya waze wahlangana nonkosikazi wamaphoyisa wesifunda ngenkathi ephuza. Wamncoma njengomzala ovela eCaucasus.
Ngemuva kokuqeda umsebenzi, u-Ottila Aligadzhievich Klop, njengenjwayelo, wathatha isithombe esisetafuleni enesithombe sikaMongameli osesikhundleni, waphefumula kuso, wasesula esikhwameni sakhe, waqabula umphambili ekhanda lekhanda wasibuyisela endaweni yaso efanele ekhoneni letafula, wasibeka emphemeni wepensela namapeni, irabha namapensela, iphakethe lamaphephandaba okukhangiswa kwamahhala okukhethwa kokuzihlanzela komuntu. Wayezonda iphepha lasendlini yangasese. Mncane futhi umunwe uhlala ubhobozwa kuwo ngalo mzuzu obaluleke kakhulu bese kufanele uwususe. Futhi ukuyinyakazisa endaweni emincane, kunethuba lokuthi umunwe ushaye ibhulokhi lokhuni elingaphakathi lendlu yangasese yomgwaqo waseSoviet futhi uzwe izinhlungu, umzwangedwa wenza ukuthi umunwe ogulayo umunyiswe ngamathe afudumele, esikhundleni salokho ezwe ukunambitheka kwamalongwe akhe, ayewagqoke amahora angama-24, ebeka igumbi lokuphumula ngaphandle kwesikhathi.
Ukusula izithukuthuku ebunzini lakhe, ezinqeni, ezingalweni, emilenzeni nangaphansi kwamaqanda, lapho wafunga khona kanzima, wasebenzisa ithawula lokugeza. Uyabuza: kungani ungelona igwababa? Impendulo ilula: ithawula likhulu futhi lihlala isikhathi eside.
Bekusekude kakhulu, futhi umndeni wawusuphefumula kudala.
U-Ottila, engena engxenyeni yokuhlala yendawo yokuhlala, wangena buthule ekhishini, wathatha imitha emihlanu yelanga esiqandisini. Kuhluthwe ku-huckster yendawo. Wayicindezela esiswini, uthathe nje isoso, lapho kwakubekwa khona ucezwana lokwenza isitshulu, olunywe ngomunye womndeni. Noma mhlawumbe le mbuzi endala, i-Intsephalopath, ebingakaze ixubhe amazinyo impilo yayo yonke futhi imane yaluma umhlathi wayo ngamakhokho.
«Kungakho benginamasosha,» kusho uKlopa, «waqabula u-Isolde, u-Isolde Izyu, kanti u-Izya uqabula izindebe zami ngeminyaka emihlanu kanye nelezi ezine ezivela esikoleni kanye noma kabili ngonyaka. Lokhu akuyona i-pedophilism, eyodwa noma ezimbili … – Kepha amazinyo ka-Incephalopath ayemnyama kakhulu, ama-hemp nezimpande zazihlala zopha, kepha uHarutun akazange abuzwe nakancane. Le nkinga kwi-DNA ayizange imlimaze nakancane, kodwa yaze yasiza ngempumelelo ophenyweni.
U-Ottila ubelukhuni futhi efuna ukubuyisa ipuleti endaweni yakhe, kepha ecindezele imbiza, wanquma ukungayideleli. Ukukhanya kwelanga kukhombisa yonke into. Ngakho-ke washintsha umqondo wakhe waya etafuleni. Kwakunethelevishini encane ekhishini, wayikhanyisa endleleni. Futhi lapho ngisendleleni, ngaya esitobhini segesi ngavula isembozo sepanini, emi ngaku-tiptoe. Iphunga, eqeda kulo, wamane wadakwa u-Ottila futhi wavele wafuna ukulidla. Wathatha ikhabethe: ipuleti, ithebhulethi, umpheki wepelepisi, ummese, isinkwa, imayonesi, ukhilimu omuncu, i-kefir, i-airan, i-kounto, i-ketchup, iqabunga le-bay, i-mug, izinkabi ezimbili: ezinkulu nezincane, futhi, ehlushwa ukubamba ibhalansi yakhe, waya etafuleni, wasukuma wakhathala: zombili izandla zazidlulile, zigcwele kakhulu futhi kuye kwadingeka ukuthi zisebenzise izindololonga. Konke okushaywe kushintshwe kuhamba kancane. U-Ottila wazama ukusunduza ipuleti etafuleni ngekhala lakhe, kepha itafula laliphezulu, futhi izindolowane zakhe zaqala ukuvuvukala. U-Ottila wakhukhumala wabeka yonke into esihlalweni. Wabe esexabana futhi, ecindezela isihlalo ukuze ubone i-TV, imi ngasesitulo, okumanje iphinde ifanelwe itafula njengebamba, ime, ithulule amagremu ayikhulu namashumi amahlanu e-sunlight emgqomeni futhi ikhulule ngokujulile, igcwalise konke ngasikhathi sinye ngesudu eyodwa bese ihambisana nayo ngezwi elikhulu. ukuzwakala komsindo. Wazwakala njengelamula endala, ngaphandle kokungabaza, wabamba ucezu lwensipho eyayihlanganisiwe ngayo yonke eyisihlanu futhi wagoqeka uhhafu kanye namathambo. Amathambo agebha ulaka lwakhe nolimi. Wathula, kepha wabe esekhumbula i-yoga kayise futhi wakhohlwa izinhlungu, njengoba ogogo noma izingane bakhohlwa okhiye nezinye izinto eziyimfihlo. Okulandelayo emgqeni kwakuyisobho. Isobho laliqukethe la ma-mandgents alandelayo: uphizi, i-sauerkraut, amazambane, u-anyanisi othosiwe kanye nezaqathe ku-paste utamatisi, uphondo lukakolweni oluthambile, i-semolina, iqanda lenkukhu elixubekile nocezu olubanjiwe lwegobolondo, umunwe, usayizi womuntu omdala, futhi oluyinhlanganisela yengxenye eyodwa yethambo lenyama elinemithambo. ngaphakathi kwepani. Inyama, ngokusobala, ibidliwe ngaphambili, kumgomo: «emndenini omkhulu… ungachofozi.» Ngokuncela isobho elivele ligugile futhi lalibukeka njengamahhashi, u-Ottila wagoqeka ithambo futhi waphila, ngenkathi efunda izindaba ngokucophelela. Ukukhishwa okulandelayo kwesikhungo sezingcingo bekuso esikrinini se-TV:
– Futhi into ethokozisayo kakhulu, «kusho ummemezeli,» … uthisha oyedwa wase-Irkutsk wayengumuntu othanda uNikolai Vasilyevich Gogol futhi wamane wachitha umsebenzi wakhe, ikakhulukazi umsebenzi «NOS». Impilo yami yonke ngilondoloze imali ngithathe uhambo lokuya eLeningrad (manje eyiSt. Petersburg), lapho kufakwa khona uphawu lwesikhumbuzo enekhala elide eshinini lethusi, elifana noGogolevsky. Kepha uPerestroika waphazamisa onke amacebo; utshale yonke imali ayongile ku-OJSC MMM futhi, njengezigidi zabakhokhi, wasala nomgodi we-donut. Ngemuva kokufudumala futhi ehlukumezeke kakhulu ngenxa yokufikelwa ngumqondo obabazekayo, waphinda waqala ukonga imali yokuthatha uhambo lokuya eSt. Manje iphupho eselilindelwe isikhathi eside lagcwaliseka eminyakeni eyishumi. Wafika enhlokodolobha iqhawe laseSt. Futhi, ngemuva kokuthola ehhovisi lophenyo lapho kunesikhumbuzo sesikhumbuzo esifunwe isikhathi eside, waphuthuma nezinto zokuhamba zomphakathi ngokudluliselwa ezintathu, kungani edluliselwe? Yikho nje ukuthi uMoskvichka wayehleli etafuleni lolwazi, futhi amaMuscovites, ngokungafani noPitertsev, athanda ukuthumela ngenye indlela, njengamanje. Njengoba esefinyelele emahoreni amahlanu ngemuva kwendawo eyayilindelwe isikhathi eside, waqalaza futhi, kodwa engatholanga okufanayo, wanquma ukubuza kubaphathi bamatekisi abaseduze ababheke izisebenzi ezazisuka lapho ezazizokhipha ogogo kuzo:
«Bathandekayo,» ubabizile, omunye wabo waphendula wathi kuye, «ungangitshela ukuthi lesikhumbuzo sikuphi kwaNogog’s NOS?»
– Futhi lapha, – isisebenzi sigqekeze ikhanda lakhe, – ndawo ndawo lapha. – futhi wakhomba odongeni olungenalutho naku-anaanarel: kusukela kulokho okwakukhona kulo kwakukhona izimbobo kuphela odongeni nesipeni esingagxiliwe, usayizi wepuleti elintshontshiwe elinekhala lomuntu wesigaxa. Ugogo wafa ngokushesha ngenxa yokuhlaselwa yisifo senhliziyo. Kulokhu ukudluliswa kwethu kwaphela. Konke okuhle. To
U-Ottila waphuza enye ingilazi waya kolala.
Ebumnyameni obelele embhedeni waconsa phansi futhi wakhwela ukunqoba uhlangothi lomkakhe, owayeshaya ihlombe. Akazange anyakaze. Lapho ekhwela phezu komkakhe futhi ephakathi kodonga nenkosikazi yakhe, wamangala ngokuhlwitha nomoya ophuma ezindebeni zale nxenye ethandekayo. U-Ottila wadonsa umoya kakhulu futhi waphakamisa isifuba sakhe esiphezulu, esikhulu kakhulu kunekhanda lakhe, wanamathela ekhanda ngemuva ngemuva kwekhanda lakhe lapho elele khona umkakhe. Ubeke izindlebe zakhe kwelingaphansi futhi wamboza indlebe engenhla nesifuba sakhe. Ukuhlwitha wanyamalala, futhi waqukula njengomntwana, ngemfudumalo nenduduzo.
Ekuseni uvuke wazilungiselela ngomcamelo. Kwakungekho nkosikazi. Waya endaweni yokuwasha futhi, esezigezile, wembethe ingubo ephelele.
