Lenya Bobrov begins to read the Anatoly Kalinin's novel about the construction of the Volga-Don Canal and goes to the "Scarlet Sails" holiday - to the places that remember Alexander Grin. A story.
Lenya Bobrov was keeping in his memory his famous uncle, who was described by Konstantin Paustovsky. This is an interesting topic - the construction of the Volga-Don Canal.
Lenya once accidentally read in an encyclopedia that Anatoly Kalinin wrote the novel "Forbidden Zone" - about the construction of the Volga-Don Canal.
The information was obtained by accident. Anatoly Kalinin is best known for his novel "Gypsy", which was often filmed and these films were shown on TV.
As a real Don writer, Anatoly Kalinin wrote a touching romantic love story about relations between the Gypsy man Budulai and the Russian woman Claudia.
Lenya finds the novel "Forbidden Zone" in the Internet library and starts reading.
He enjoys the writing skills of Anatoly Kalinin.
"... seeing the long trunk [proboscis] of a ship above the water, the Cossacks and their women, having abandoned everything in their gardens and summer kitchens, fell out onto the stanitsa piers and to the farm piers.
"The whole Don"s Vendee was stirred up," a ... voice rejoiced on the deck of the ship."
"Vendée - something counter-revolutionary?" - Lenya recalls the history of France.
"And let them not hope this time to get off with only a slight fright," insisted the first."
"Hints that the genocide was not really genocide," Lenya suggests. - "And there was "only" a "slight fright"".
"- What kind of passions did not rage on these slopes: Khazars, Nogais, Pechenegs. ... Kaledinshchina, Krasnovshchina. You see, Grekov, again a German tank ran out to the Don to drink water. reared up from a direct hit, and froze on the yar. And how many warped trunks and wheels are on all the ravines in the steppe. Now all this has to go under the water."
"Subtle point! Khazars, Nogais, Pechenegs! Not fertile lands and not stanitsas will go under water, but a German tank and warped trunks and wheels," Lenya understands.
"Did you manage to see this old man with stripes [red stripes on pants] on the yar? Yermak! Did you notice, Grekov, how he directed his eyes after us?
- He seems to have all three Orders of Glory on his jacket.
- And under the jacket, I suppose, a full bow of St. George's crosses [type of military pre revolutionary orders]. Well, yes, you are supposed to look after their interests. I"ll see how you succeed when we start pouring them out of the huts, like gophers."
"Ermak - it is an irony," Lenya understands. "And among the gophers, he lived half his life and was honored for his the great work with regular glorifications, a museum and a monument."
"You, political department, will still hear how your Cossacks will scream when the water starts licking their heels."
At that moment, Lenya heard the phone ring.
He had to put the laptop with Anatoly Kalinin's novel aside.
A trip of bloggers to the places of residence of Alexander Grin is being prepared. There will be a holiday - "Scarlet Sails". Lenya can be included in the list of the delegation of bloggers.
Lenya imagines a holiday for a moment.
After a cafe with long tables, a variety of food, juice bags, slow and fast music, school graduates will head to the seashore. A schooner with Scarlet Sails will appear in the distance.
Invited guests will perform at the event.
The main place will be occupied by victims of unfounded accusations. One energetic girl was mastering the wisdom of the financial market with the help of experienced teachers, but she wasn't successful to fit into US law.
An honest pilot was earning money not in Russia, but somewhere in Africa... Why wasn't he provided with a job in Russia? Probably, in Africa they paid well (very well). But when the pilot got into trouble, then Russia came to the rescue...
Who else?
A scientific product was stolen from a student, but this case became public. Now he was placed in correspondence graduate school. He hopes for a successful defense of his dissertation and delivers positive parting words to young people.
The participant of the competition "Smart and Reasonable" is represented by a lawyer. Actually, there were two participants. One, from Siberia, made only an attempt. Then strange events happened to him - to the whole family, including his mother and grandfather. It were an unfortunate events, and he himself crashed after falling from a cell tower.
The one, that is alive, he won the competition. However, he was not so smart as to master the Swahili language in half a year. And since he is so incapable of foreign languages, how can he be a diplomat? The winner of the competition, who became a first-year student at a famous university without entrance exams, crucified himself on a cross in the center of Moscow, out of disappointment, and made a fire under the cross ...
Now he cannot personally attend the Scarlet Sails festival. But there is a lawyer who is not averse to swimming in the sea in the summer and looking at places that remember Alexander Grin.
The lawyer will speak about the protection of the tax interests of the state, about the worth of the constitutional right of ownership and about the protection by the Government of the Russian Federation of the interests of heirs, whom the state deprived of right of ownership for some objects of real estate.
After slow and fast music, after packages of juice, after the sight of a schooner with Scarlet Sails, graduates of the school will enthusiastically meet speeches - performances of a girl, a honest pilot, a robbed student studying in correspondence graduate school, a young genius who won the "Smart and Reasonable" competition and who became (for a short period of time) without entrance exams a student of a prestigious university (but who failed to master the Swahili language in [during] a six months period).
In general, Lenya has no particular desire to fly to see the Scarlet Sails holiday.
But - if not to fly - then how to take good photos? Suppose he can find Scarlet Sails on the Internet and modify them a little. But visiting the memorial sites of Alexander Grin is of some value to Lenya.
The remembrance about Alexander Grin decided the matter.
"Include my last name on the list!"
Lenya takes a toothbrush and a comb and goes to the gathering place of patriotic bloggers. It will be a special flight - not all flights are allowed.
Lenya throws a glance at Anatoly Kalinin's novel "The Forbidden Zone" - Lenya wishes to find out if Anatoly Kalinin wrote something about the Crimea? When the barges were flooded, some of their passengers probably began to scream when the water began to lick their heels ...
For now, Lenya intends to focus on Scarlet Sails, on the characters of Alexander Grin, on Assol and Arthur Grey ...
