Fountain of the River of Siberia

Shurik was discharged from office in connection with staff reduction. Reorganization began. Comes home to the graduate student Enok. That on the laptop draws something.

Shurik – Reorganization, the brother, the plant was closed, work isn’t present, it is necessary to look for something.

Enok – I heard, on chair the laboratory assistant is required from us…

Shurik – So there a low wage. He took from a table the drunk not enough bottle of a narzan also thinks: Eh beer to drink…

Enok – Yes beer it is quite good!

Shurik – At us thoughts coincided or you read mind?

Enok – Coincided. Because the science bothered, it is necessary to relax.

Shurik – And here I now will leave to the neighboring room and I will think that – be. Comes. Of what I thought?

Enok – That concentrates and speaks: Beer we now will drink that, and then it is quite good to familiar little girls from the room No. 321 to descend on a visit.

Shurik – Now that’s something like it! You and really child prodigy! Went.

Enok- Where?

Shurik – I know where! Towards to glory and huge money…

Shurik with Enok go outside. Near opera theater the guide invites on tour by the bus.

Shurik – Let’s sweep the brother by bus, we will look at the city under other foreshortening, and that in a hurry we don’t pay attention to beauty.

The guide began the comment:

Krasnoyarsk is a big transport knot. From the West to the east it is crossed by the Trans-Siberian Railway, nearby the highway M-53 (The Moscow path) On it a pedestrian order prisoners on far Sakhalin penal servitude were transported under guard. The bus on the prospectus the Krasnoyarsk worker passes a stele at this time. From the island of Rest Yenisei River Embankment is visible, the steamship Prelate Nikolay is visible. From the South to the north crosses Krasnoyarsk the great Siberian river Yenisei – Ionessiya – a high water. V. Lenin, I.Stalin, Ya. Sverdlov, D.Trotsky, F.Dzerzhinsky – generally all elite connected with October revolution of 1917 were marked out in Krasnoyarsk.

In days of the Great Patriotic War from the West of the USSR many defensive plants which forged a sword of the Victory were evacuated reorganization Burst, tens plants were closed, remained people without work, but there is no place to disappear were reconstructed. Descendants of those who twisted nuts at plants, pine for hours in many kilometers traffic jams. But what to do – realities of our days are that.

Tendency to a gigantomania it is seen in blood at people. With what frenzy communists built plants, with same democrats build shops. It is necessary to tell that many houses are under construction. With huge scope supermarkets, hypermarkets are under construction. some the truth are closed slowly. But what to do – the competition. The bus passes construction objects – hypermarkets – the Planet, June, Alpi, Auchan

For years of reorganization over 300 fountains are constructed. For what many thanks to the ex-mayor Peter Pimashkov. It not simply fountains, and works of art (we show Adam and Eve, Icarus, Themis). It is simple to sit during a heat near the overthrown splashes pleasantly… They say that by number of fountains Krasnoyarsk on the second place after St. Petersburg. Eh it is a pity, would allow a little more this remarkable person to operate the city – the city of Krasnoyarsk in leaders would be beaten out. It is necessary to notice one big fountain in the square Silver closed – sadly…

At Krasnoyarsk citizens well with humour. Old residents remember such maxim. I was called «paradoxes of Krasnoyarsk»:

The chief of militia – the general Grabezhov,

the director of institute of the wood and wood – Sukachyov,

the director of bath-and-laundry combine – Gryaznov.
