Ganapolsky Matvey Yuryevich (r. 1953) - Russian and Ukrainian public figure, journalist, director of theater and cinema, actor, has been working on the radio from 1991.

Childhood

Matvey was born in the Ukrainian city of Lviv on December 14, 1953. His real surname Margolis, but in life it was so often wrote and said it was wrong that when Matvey married the first time, he took the name of his wife.

His father, Yuri Margolis, had a small patent for the manufacture of toys in Lviv. He made them from Celluloid, and inserted the ship inserted inside, the toys worked on the principle of "Vanki-standing", and in appearance were bear and races. Often the son helped the father of them to paint, still remembers the terrible smell of acetone.

Mom, Dina Levina, loved to sing very much, precisely from her, according to Matthew himself, he took over such love for creativity.

Its child years considers boring and fresh, nothing was, only Khrushcheva and Kolkhozniki showed on TV, so the boy was read by detectives. Perhaps he thought his love for a detective genre in cinema and literature, which took place in the future to the transmission of the "Detective Show".

Training began in the city of Lviv in high school number 6. But soon the family moved to Kiev, where the boy continued his studies in the 193th school. He treated the classes and lessons with the cool.

But with full force, the creative abilities of Matvey were manifested. As a student of just a third class, he introduced himself at least the artistic director of the theater, which selects actors for the production. That is how the boy listened to classmates, recording poetry to choose among them the best for the New Year's matinee. He proudly sat on the teacher's chair, and classmates swept behind the door, ready to demonstrate their talents. Matvey still does not know how he decided to hold the selection for the light, no one applied him, he put forward herself, although in life the child was very modest, inconspicuous and quiet.

Studying and the beginning of a creative career

Having received a certificate of secondary education, Matvey became a student of the Kiev pop-circus column. But his considerable creative ambitions still maniled a guy to Moscow. After graduating from the school in 1973, Matvey went to the capital of the USSR, where he entered Gitis to the Directory Faculty. In his stream, he was considered one of the most talented students.

Having received a diploma of the end of Hitis, Matvey returned to Kiev, where he began to cooperate quite fruitfully with local theaters. On the stage of the Kyiv theater of the stage, he set a lot of performances, however, most of them were sent to a children's audience, nevertheless, all the productions were successful in the audience.

For 5 years of work in Kiev, Matvey became a popular theater director, and in 1986 he was invited to Moscow. For a while he worked at the stage theater, but then settled on Gostoreradio USSR in the children's editorial office. Here he led the program "Miracles on the seventh floor", and soon Edward Uspensky offered him to do radio spectacles.

So Ganapolsky began to work on the modulation of audiopects for children "The investigation leads kolobki" and "Adventures of Captain Carrunel". In 1991, gramzapsy "Melody" released three plates "the investigation lead Kolobki", Ganapolsky took part in the sounding, his voice says his voice.

Cinema and television

Ganapolsky's debut in the movie took place in 1989. He removed a documentary picture about the life of the great clown of Yuri Nikulina "Circus for my grandchildren."

And in the adventure comedy "From the point of view of Angel", Matvey showed himself as an actor, and as a director. But the further life of Ganopolsky is little connected with the movie, he appeared a couple of times in the series "Detectives-5" and "nine months", after which he devoted himself to television, radio and journalism.

On television, Ganapolsky turned out to be at the very end of the 80s. The first channel where he worked was ATV, he led political talk shows and entertainment programs.

In 1992, Matvey began work on the Channel ORT. In the block of the author's television, he led the program "Bomond", where the "stars" was discharged about the details of their backstage life.

Then there was a number of fairly successful programs for which Ganapolsky was nominated for many prestigious Russian prizes and rewards:

  • "Gladiator's games" and "Akun-Matata" (RTR);
  • "Big times" (NTV);
  • "Detective Show" (ORT, TVC).

Radio

Matvey considers radio excellent thing for work: Persons are not visible, everyone hears and know only your voice.

He leads the most different ethers. Previously, he was not interested in working with politicians, he believed that it was boring, nothing new political figures could not tell, all their acts should be visible in the life of the people. But for some time he had an interest in new politicians, many of them began to cause sympathy from him, it's nice to talk with them on the air and look for the truth. By virtue of its age and the time he worked on television and radio, Matvey has already come out of some defined role. He fell into the category of leading, which is under the power of any program. He feels that the radio listeners trust him, and therefore delegate to a conversation with politicians.

Transmission of policies in his career are obtained by the most resonant, because Ganapolsky always definitely expresses its attitude towards the authorities, criticizes corruption and low level of freedom of speech.

It is impossible to pretend to be a good lead, they need to be. And here he keeps everything - the mind, education, understanding of human psychology and a little excitement.

Since 1991, Ganapolsky worked on the radio station "Echo of Moscow". In the spring of 2014, after the conflict began between Russia and Ukraine, Matvey moved to Kiev, there he worked on the Radio to lead, and from 2106 he was leading on the radio "Era."

Personal life

Matvey was married to Irina Ganapolskaya, he took some surname after marriage and wears so far. Irina tragically died, from this marriage from Matvey there is a son Mikhail.

Now he is married again, Matvey will grow up a little daughter. His spouse, Tamara Shengelia, is a journalist.

The leading radio "Vesti" Matvey Ganapolsky is a good example of how completely, it seems that the logical prejudices of society are happy with a happy manner of a specific human material.

Would it seemingly, what should we expect from the Moscow radio officer working in one media holding with the odious newspaper "Vesti"?

And, nevertheless, anyone who listened to the Esters of Ganapolsky will testify an immutable fact: the presenter speaks from the Prokrainian positions. Maybe due to rare, as for the current Russia, the habits of reflection. Or because he was born in Lviv and, according to his own recognition, in Ukrainian speaks better than many deputies of the Verkhovna Rada. Or maybe, because in 15 years of Putin's rule, 61-year-old Matvey Yuryevich studied the false information doctrine of Putin's regime in the subtleties?

We were about this experience asked Matthew Ganapolsky as part of an interview for the "censor.net".

"It stopped predicting Putin's actions since the 2008 Georgian adventure"

News from the cycle "Russia in isolation" will fly one after another. For no longer the last people in Russia call for the country's eligibility from the Council of Europe, other influential international organizations. Perfectly call! And I as a teacher for education arises an association with an outcast child, which the rest of the children in the class do not take - for his arrogance, rudeness, habit everything to solve in its own way. As a result, it finally closes in itself, becomes dangerous for others and completely unpredictable.

You, a person with great life experience, can tell: as Europe, the United States to make this child, on the one hand, did not raise the whole class on the ears, and on the other - did not go to the final self-insulation?

As a teacher, you know that teachers first simply say; Use exhort methods. Then make a remark, send a student to the director. Well, and then - kicked out of the school ...

Although I think that Russia's comparison with the student in some sense incorrectly. This is a huge country with the president who must be responsible for his policy; With a huge staff of advisers, all kinds of institutions, analytical centers. And not the problem of Europe and Ukraine in the fact that all the work of these analytical centers and the president was reduced to the fact that the president was told: you can pull the Crimea, to arrange a Novorossia. Now it is also said that Novorossia must be supported, and Russian weapons go there.

Once again: probably, it's time for this student to drive out of school. And moreover, taking advantage of your vocabulary, it's time for the police a little to take up. Because it is impossible to put the whole school on the ears.

I believe that the decision of the Council of Europe is legitimate. And insults ... Well, of course, Russia is hard to experience the insults. And now, people who are welcomed in the life of the Kremlin administration, they say that the Ukrainian Zavaruha is connected not so much with Ukraine, but with the desire of Vladimir Putin to show Barack Obama, who is here the first guy. Remember, was the Hollywood film "Battlefield - Earth"? So Ukraine for Putin is only a battlefield. And here, by sending Russians to death, you can infinite this war - until America requests mercy.

- America?!

I emphasize, not Ukraine - America. When America says: "Well, okay, let us recognize that you are the first guy in the village."

But it seems to me that a very important thing happened. The world adequately responded to an attempt to revise the fundamental laws and the rules of the game, guaranteed the world after World War II. This is Potsdam, this is a decision on the irrevoyability of the borders. Everyone is perfectly understood that in the current turbulent time the main problem is terrorism. And when someone suddenly says: "I will do what I want, because I am strong," this is a colossal political problem. And if this force does not resist, then the revision of the borders will begin; Then the new rules of the game are obtained! And these rules are simple: who is strong, that and right.

But what is the main awareness of the rules of the game of our civilization? In the fact that there are no weak and strong in politics. What you need to respect both those and others. That is why the united Europe appears, other unions, in which both large strong countries and small ones are presented. The Council of Europe appears, the supranational structure in which everyone is presented, and everyone has equal rights.

Therefore, when we start talking about Putin and that he is doing, we are not saying, in fact, about Putin. We are talking about the main civilizational principles of the XX and the XX I century: the irrevocability of the borders. Respect for the territorial integrity of the neighboring state. The impossibility of wishes - under any reasons! - Catch a piece of neighboring territory.

What is happening now for European countries is a new reality. Because they do not deal with a small dismembered Yugoslavia, but with a large country with nuclear weapons. But, nevertheless, Western countries went on this path.

Here, you say: Putin wants to show, Putin opens. What about the understanding of what he does? In recent months, have you been felt that you can predict his actions?

Me not. It is impossible to predict the actions of Vladimir Putin. I often ask questions: "Or maybe he will go to Kiev? Will throw off the atomic bomb?"

- Well, when was the last time you felt that you can predict his actions?

I stopped predicting what Putin was doing and his environment, since the 2008 Georgian adventure. I was in Georgia at that moment. And I convinced my Georgian friends that, yes, threats, yes, screams. "But," I said proudly, "at the present time, no politician will allow himself ... it is to become a country-outcast ...". Etc.

But it turned out that I could not unravel the plans of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. And it is terrible. Because a huge country in which 145 million people; A country with a giant army and nuclear weapons is, in fact, performs sporadic instructions that come to the head of one person. And in absolutely incomprehensible reasons.

And, of course, I could not imagine what will attack Ukraine. Well, can I delay the Crimea in our time? - I asked myself. And I answered: yes no, it is impossible! It turned out, perhaps. I told myself: yes, is it possible that all the work of the same Putin until 2014 - when there was peace-friendship with the West and high technologies walked to Russia - it was possible so, overnight, smoke? It turned out - you can.

Therefore, I get up in the morning ready for any news. So, many say: what was it for the bombardment of Mariupol? That's why - to have a new wave of sanctions? After all, you agree that after the bombardment of Mariupol, this frank rudeness, a very unpleasant chain of events followed. The same Council of Europe, where Russia is denied the right of voting; The same recognition of Russia by the country aggressor. So, I did not recognize Ukraine - now recognized.

That is, it is clear that your own will not be bombarded, right? Nevertheless, Russia, instead of condemning this human tragedy, says that Ukrainians did. That is, the usual rhetoric of the villains. And the question arises: why is this done? But there is no answer. Maybe Russia plays the exacerbation. And maybe there everyone went crazy. And maybe Putin is mentally ill, but around it is dancing approximate, which they say (as in the famous fairy tale about the naked king) that he is wonderful ...

- And what really ...

- ... that in fact - it is not known to anyone. But there are rules for conducting relations with Russia, which wonderfully formulated my friend, writer Viktor Shenderovich. I often quote these words: "Russia understands only numeral." Here, gathered on Bolotnaya and Sakharov 150 thousand - there were some changes in Russian legislation. Then - tightening. And now it comes out of little people - and they do not pay attention to them.

The same thing in international relations. When Europe and the United States tell together Russia "For your actions you have to answer" and impose sanctions, and the ruble falls catastrophically - then Russia begins to somehow understand what such things do not need to do. But, apparently, little understands. Apparently, few sanctions. Because, as we see, the war in Ukraine continues.

"In Russian society, there is a strange secret: what is the leader, such and society"

But where does Putin come from such support for the population? Many compare the current balance of strength with the Cold War of the twentieth century, the then rampant of Soviet propaganda - with the current Kiselev region. But I, for example, I remember well that with a loss of a closer, few people believed. My father, a member of the CPSU, included the transistor at night, and I knew the call sign "German waves" and "Radio Liberty".

And I wonder: why now, if there are internet and incomparably more open borders, the Russian people continue to believe what they say in the box?

You know, in Russian society there is some strange secret. It can be formulated as follows: What is the leader, such a society. I remember: at first, Stalin was - and about that time there is a famous phrase of Dovytova: "Everyone says: Stalin, Stalin. And who wrote 4 million?" So all the society lived: they wrote a donos to each other.

After that, Khrushchev comes - and suddenly society changes in an amazing way. Festival of Youth and Students 1957; The same people who were looking for American spies 3 years ago, come from America's first black people arrived. In the country an incredible euphoria.

Then the Brezhnev comes - and society changes radically again. All are calm, good-natured, go to the cottages. Friendship idea with the United States as if dissolved ...

After that, Gorbachev appears - and the society suddenly: how, why did we live before that ?? How can it be? Immediately be friends, make the teleconference of the USSR-America!

After that - Yeltsin: ramped democracy, market, first trips to the United States ...

And finally, Putin. And two Putin: the first - until 2004: friends, restructuring, new thinking, continuation of all this ... And now: Putin is different - and society is another.

This is a very strange story to deal with sociologists and sociopsychologists. Why does this happen in society? You know, in this story, it is not so much cared why people are so believe in propaganda, how much another question is: why people in Russia are purely in humans do not sorry the dying Ukrainians? Two nations lived side by side so many years, helped each other to win the Patriotic War. Why is the Russians now only ruffled anger and the desire to justify aggression? Why is there no understanding that the result of this aggression is the real death of Ukrainians and the death of their Russian soldiers?

- Well, here, just the answer is psychologically obvious: it is always unpleasant to feel guilty ...

And I do not care. Everyone makes his choice - and must be responsible for this choice. So it was in the fascist Germany - and you know that one of the parties to denazification was that the burghers who did the idea that they did not know anything, forced to dig the corpses shot. It was a strong move. Someday to Russian citizens, apparently, will have to ask yourself a question: why did they indulge this aggression? Death in Ukraine almost 5 thousand people is unlikely to be forgotten by Ukraine.

This is one of the mysteries. But I repeat once again: I do not want to understand it. Each makes your choice. And, for example, I absolutely do not sorry the unfortunate, in quotes, residents of Donetsk and Lugansk.

- Why?

Because Girkin came to them and said: "You will be a wonderful life at Putin. Go and vote." And they voted. They thought everything would be easy and simple. But they were betrayed - all, including Putin, who was not needed by this Luganda, as it is called. Therefore, when they are moaning now: "God, what is happening? Let it soon stop this war," they say to whom Putin or Poroshenko? They must first tell me! It is they who brought their own vote to the war on their region. They are humanly sorry for me, because their life is destroyed. Many killed, the property is stolen and "pressed" by the gangsters. But why did it all start? Since they believed passing. And the passing are different. It happens Mavrodi with whom you lose only money. And there is Girkin, which is as if the rats on a pipe play: "Putin, Putin" ...

- There are thieves and there are robbers. Some climb into his pocket, others - also let's go through the head.

Quite right.

Because of what is happening, I have been self-deeded several contacts with familiar Russians. And you?

Yes, I have a few people - and I am in a big confusion, what to do with them. I have in Facebook; At the same time, they are my friends. And they overpower only frankly negative pro-Russian materials.

- And how do you react to this?

I don't write anything, I do not appeal to them. But from friends I do not throw away: Apparently, I hope that once this crazy house will end. I have only three people; Basically, my friends are people who understand that it is impossible to fight with a neighbor that this is a conflict for the century.

"In the newspaper" Vesti "and on Radio" News "there are different teams and different people who perceive life in different ways"

You are working on the radio station "Vesti-Ukraine", which is associated here, firstly, with a radio station of the same name in Russia; And secondly, with the newspaper "News", to which many in Ukraine attitude, to put it mildly, negative. Personally, I believe that the content of radio "Vesti-Ukraine" and the newspaper "News" differ fundamentally from each other. But this is my opinion. And you on the air, in the supermarket, on the street, it is brought to hear in your address: "Moskal frowning, get out of here!"?

No, there was never that. First, it is impossible to say that, because I was born and grew up in Lviv and I know more than many deputies of the Verkhovna Rada in Lviv and Ukrainian language. I know him just perfectly, and several dialects. Therefore, whose Ukraine is a big question. This is my homeland, so I turned out to be here at this hour. I turned out to be where I considered it. And I work where I consider it necessary. And me - here I have to thank my audience - perceive very adequately.

As for the difference between the newspaper "Vesti" and radio "news", they are truly different - but due to the fact that different teams and different people work, which in different ways perceive life. And here it is impossible to do nothing. Our team perceives life one by one. The newspaper "News" perceives it in its own way. And it is impossible to condemn it. On the contrary, I would admire the fact that the management of the holding is completely calmly relate to such a difference. After all, no one calls, does not give any instructions.

I often say: "Here you, of course, are good, you are interested to listen to, you are such Prokrainian ... And who are your owners?" And I always answer it: "Yes, I don't care who my owners."

- Even if the names are called Kurchenko, Klimenko?

I always have a smile. Well, let's imagine that our owner is Yanukovych and his environment. Then it turns out that an amazing time has come when I will scold Yanukovych for Yanukovych money; When the money Kurchenko we swear Kurchenko! It turns out, the dream of freedom of the media really came, you know?

That's why I treat it completely indifferent. I have a contract with a radio station that provides for non-interference in my work. And if the elements of the intervention are, the radio listeners will learn about the first. And it is unlikely that I will then work on a radio station.

All our employees work absolutely free, without any instructions, what to do. And here are my friends with whom we worked together on the "Echo of Moscow". And the fact is that we are brought up in a certain way. This year, "EM" will be 25 years old. And for these 25 years we are accustomed to us not given any instructions. To the honor of the management of the holding and his leader, Igor Huzhva, never in history there were no guidance on how to talk to us and what programs to do.

Radio is a business. We were delivered to the business task - to bring the radio station to the leaders. For 10 months, we brought a radio station to the leaders, introduced radio listeners of three cities - Kiev, Kharkov and Dnepropetrovsk - with a new genre (although in Kiev there are spoken radio). And, in particular, the two ether of your submissive servant ranks first among all radio stations in Kiev.

Therefore, the business task that was put before us, we fulfilled even ahead of time. Actually, it is worth it for it.

You said that the radio station team does not receive on top of instructions, how and what to say. But didn't there be such collisions so that the team is asked to call the militia people who most Ukrainian media called at least separatists?

No, I do not know anything about it. But there is another problem. The fact is that in Ukraine there is no such a clear system for informing the media about some solutions of the authorities. Well, for example, how to call these people who are fighting in the "DNR" and "LNR"? We received absolutely contradictory instructions. This is now we call them simple and simple: terrorists. In any case, I do that ... But at first it was incomprehensible at all, how to treat them. After all, do not forget that a normal referendum was conducted, you see? That is, at first it looked like a territory where they want to somehow live ... And then it was degenerated into what was degenerated ...

- Come on, Matvey, what was it for a referendum? There is a lot of evidence that it was and how it was done ...

You are thinking to me, because I do not argue with you. Once again: to unify such a situation there is a chief editor. He collects people and says: Guys, let's think about how to call these people. And we were collected several times so that there were no discharge. Because the attitude towards these people in the whole editorial board is equally. We just received very disgraceful directions from the authorities. And we are obliged to strictly fulfill Ukrainian legislation, understand?

Now everything has become easier and clearer. Now everyone is perfectly understood who these people; They are either terrorists, or separatists, or, sorry, gangsters, if they speak unofficially. Now everything has become easier. Previously, we simply did not understand the signals of power. I mean not the authorities of the Holding, but the authorities of the country. How does power treat these people? And the authorities herself did not know how to call them. And these are these "terrorists", this hard rhetoric appeared much later. Because at the beginning there were talk about the fact that "do not insult them," you need to negotiate with them. But now it is clear what negotiations. Bandits, they are bandits.

"With Russia, Putin and his surroundings I have nothing in common."

Your spouse is Georgian, while you were born and studied in Lviv, the school was finished in Kiev. And at the same time you are both citizens of the Russian Federation. Here's how it was comprehended by your family that since 2008, the state, the citizenship of which you have, consistently attached to the country's two relatives for you? What do you feel, thinking about it?

You know, you asked a very difficult question. Of course, it was perceived hard. And at some point ... here it is necessary to correctly formulate ... (I think for a long time. - E.K.) ... You know, I always emphasize that I really love Russia. Of course, our Russia, not Putin. For me, 15 Putin's years is 15 years of loss. This is 15 years behind and degradation. This is 15 years of mockery of citizens - and especially in recent years, with the help of Russian television. This is awakening in the citizens of the lowest and gravily, such that civilization always hides somewhere in the depths. This is a lies system that has become a state doctrine.

You ask: why am I talking about it? And because everyone has its own Russia. I have no relation to Vladimir Putin and to Russia, which attacked first to Georgia, and then to Ukraine. (This is my position that she attacked). I have my Russia, Russia of my friends. Russia of my street, Russia parks. Russia "Echo Moscow" and my colleagues who work there. I asked myself: who is this person Vladimir Putin? And he answered: this is a man for whom I never voted and who never imagined my interests. Because he is president only for his own. In recent years, he realized that he would still not convince Navalny's supporters to love him, Putin. So he became president of this, motorcyclist, how is it? ..

- "Surgeon".

- "Surgeon". He is president "Surgeon"! And I have with this person and his Russia, with Russia His surroundings, here are these terrible black people who sink, pumped, lie and turn over and which the centuries-old joint history and love between the Russian and Ukrainian people have plunged in the dust of their nasty, small, empty And meaningless interests - I have nothing in common with these people. Therefore, I am very calm about Russia when I come to her. You know when you go on a Moscow street, around you for a minute passes, probably, a thousand people. But this is a thousand other people, they have nothing to do with me! I learned to abstract and love in Moscow and Russia exactly what this country attracted me to Putin - almost more than 30 years. It has something to love. But now Russia is not for anything. In any case, I.

In Ukraine there is a war. And since the spring people in Ukraine ask each other's question: what if Putin will move troops to Kiev? In your case, I will ask this question under a different angle: What will you do with this development of events? Will there be a broadcast here in Kiev? Or will you be forced to return to Moscow?

Answer this question is difficult. How much it will be possible, I will be here, in the editorial board, because this is due to the contract. You may be surprised by such a formal answer, but there are such two golden rules. The first reads: "You do not know what to do - go to bed." And the second: "You do not know what to do - do the Constitution."

I say: do not know how to do - do the contract. That's all!

Evgeny Kuzmenko for "censor.net"

Later, Ganapolsky appeared in small roles in the fifth season of the detective "Detectives" and the medical sitcom "nine months". But the main part of the life of Matvey Ganapolsky dedicated to journalism.

Journalism

On the television of Matvey Ganapolsky hit in the late 80s. On the first Russian independent television channel Atv, the journalist led a number of entertainment programs and a political talk show.

But the most resonant projects of Ganapolsky, of course, were political programs. Matvey Ganapolsky is always in a rapid form of his own opinion, which often dispels from the official point of view. The journalist criticized the system of Russian government repeatedly, noted the low level of freedom of speech in the country and corruption in law enforcement agencies.


The political views that the journalist express the magazine, as well as the father's last name of the Father gave rise to ill-wishers to discover the issue of the nationality of the TV presenter. By the way, the journalist never hid such details of his own biography. And the assignment of the Russian Federation of Jewish communities in 2009, the Awards of the Federation of Jewish Communities "Man of the Year" and closed this question at all.

In the spring of 2014, after the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the journalist moved to Kiev and became the leading station "Radio News".

In addition, the journalist leads on the channel cycles of videos about travel. One cycle - "Ganapol State of America" \u200b\u200b- is dedicated to the trips to Matthew Ganapolsky on the United States with comments on unusual phenomena for viewers. Another cycle called "Traveling with Ganapolsky" covers a wider topic. Here the TV presenter talks about different countries, but after a year and a half the existence of the channel in this category, only a few fragments about the Czech Republic remain.


Clean comments of a journalist about politics and economics can be heard in the cycle of short video united by the name "100 minutes". Here, Matvey Ganapolsky is briefly expressed about completely different urgent issues. Releases are devoted to propaganda, the Hague Tribunal, and other topics and personalities.

No less interesting and similar to the previous format. In the heading "Ganapol + Kiselev", journalists also express the topic of interest to the audience, but the release time is increased to 5-7 minutes, and the title themes are selected two.


In August 2017, Matvey Ganapolsky began to lead the Ukrainian TV channel "Direct". The TV channel is broadcast both in the Ukrainian ether and on the Internet.

Ukrainian borsch in Berlin can be eaten in the restaurant "Odessa-Mom". This is how much I know, the only Ukrainian restaurant in the capital of Germany. We sit at the table with my old friend Alik, he lives here for almost thirty years. We dwined around the city all day and, finally, were naturally in the "Odessa-Mom". In the hall there is a Ukrainian buffet, stirred by meat, fish, borsch with pampushki, Soviet "fur coat" and some other non-smelled dishes for which life can give.

Shipping in a restaurant Sasha and Natasha. Natasha in the past life of the food industry technologist, Sasha is a former policeman.

- Now I will tell you what a policeman he is - whispers me Alik.. - There are no such policemen. He dragged me in the winter. We caught the fish there, and the cold was a dog, and we went to the car. I sat down in the cockpit and waited when we go, and Sasha is still no. I go out and see that he laid down a tripod, got sick of firewood and wipe fish! Imagine, he will crack the fish in the cold to make ear for me. I tell him - you went crazy, we can earn the ear in warmth, and he answers that if the ear does not do right now, then it will not be that ear. He is not a policeman, he is a cook. For him, if the food is not cooked right now, then this is not a meal.

In the hall of the restaurant, they are mainly "ours" - talk loudly, inserting German words into Russian and whole phrases. There are several Germans - they eat quietly, savoring, although they came by the company. The shouts of the davey "ours" are not embarrassed. Sasha carries a grille with meat into the street - there is a grill and extra tables, and then sit down to us. Natasha hooked even earlier. It is statist and beautiful, especially in the embroidery, which wears as a challenge.

We are talking about food. Natasha talks about the secrets of the preparation of the real Odessa borscht, but gradually we go to politics. The policy on the taste of this Odessa borscht does not affect, but affects visitors. Since the people in Berlin are different, the visitor before ordering this very borscht often and is unexpectedly interested - and whose, in fact, Crimea? This question sounds strange, for if you came to the Ukrainian restaurant, it is difficult to imagine that the supporters of the "Green men" were drunk there. At the same time, this visitor does not care what they will be answered about the Crimea - he is the main thing to sit and there is a borsch with such a kind, as if he had just seized this restaurant, filled with Bandera, and this borsch was a symbol of victory and contribution From defeated, in the form of a sala.

The streets darkens on the street, visitors are tightened to the restaurant. Although I would not call them visitors in the full sense. The visitor orders at least borsch. But these come, kiss with Sasha and Natasha, order beer-coffee, and that's it. Some sit down to us, and then the political conversation under the borsch sparkles with new faces.

Why did the most delicious Ukrainian borsch, I eat in Berlin? Maybe and really there well where we are not

For example, the uncle in a plaid shirt tells me that all Germany is skipped Putin. Businessmen are scared - they want to trade with Russia, politicians are scared - they want good relations with Russia. On my question, and why the desire to trade and be friends should arise exclusively from Putin's money, the uncle does not respond, only looks at me suspiciously, and, after a small pause, it is interested in my position - and whose Crimea? My answer is that the Crimea is Ukrainian, causing him by surprise: apparently, he expected that I was a short "vitn". Next, he begins to torment me about PoroshenkoAnd I decide to escape from the uncle.

On the street warm, we sluggishly go along the early stores closing in Berlin. A young woman closes the "Antiques of Joachim Crause Antiques", based on the signboard, in 1865. I'm trying to understand why this cracze did not suffer from Marx, from Nazi or Honnekker, but then I remember that in Germany no one has ever sequered for private property - so cracze and survived.

- What do you think about Tymoshenko, does she have chances? - It turns out that the checkered shirt was all the time for us to snatch the answers to the main questions of the universe.

- Valera, you got us! - Alik decided to memorize me. - What do you have, here in Germany there are no other problems?

"I pensions, but here it is boring, and there is life," Chekyan, answered a checkered shirt. " - Here the pensioners have no problems, they are worn with them. Last year, Cataract was deleted, so I did not see such a hospital in my life! But I am for Ukraine, and Putin aggressor.

Hearing this phrase, Alik suddenly smiled predatory and came to conspiring:

- And tell me Valera, because you are a citizen of Russia, so who did you vote for?

- For Putin! - Cleisko said Valera and immediately turned to me to explain the situation. "He pursed me all the time, but I voted correctly." Putin is an order, and Germany is all in refugees. Putin is smart and cunning, he will not let the Syrians in Russia. But I am for Ukraine, and Putin aggressor.

Alik sighed heavily, grabbed me for the sleeve and dragged down the street.

On the side of us on the road there was a hiss - to "browing", like an ocean ship, the two-storey tourist bus was stuck, from which there was no way, the other word and would not find, the same pensioners who, who, according to cellular Valera, were no problems. It turned out that the coffee house here, apparently, they had a distant road ahead. Pensioners looked like in the picture: for some reason, not a single bald, all in neat shirts, trousers with cat and moccasins. Women in pants and lightweight sweathers. It even seemed to me that this is some kind of team of millionaires riding golf. But they were not like faces, but well maintained. I used to other retirees - an evil and offended little pension. But only calm was read on these faces.

I looked at them with a look of a Syrian refugee. Their appearance and behavior insulted me, I wanted to leave.

"I didn't feed Borsch," I said coldly by Alik. - I want to do it.

"The borsch cooled, but Sasha will warm everything to you now," Alik assured me and dragged back to Odessa Mom.

Already hemnelted, we sat at the table, covered with a new portion of goodies. One "Our" company changed the other, and the Germans were all silently drank beer. Alik poured vodka, we drank for Natasha and Sasha. Then they cut the passage and washed it with a crank moss. From the speaker quietly sounded Rotaru, then someone unknown served the restaurant version of the Rockovsky "in the Black Sea". Our tormentover in a plaid shirt dilked himself a complete plate of meat.

- You know, Alik, I once asked myself how to feel an unfamiliar city? - I raised a glass. - And I realized that through friends and friends. And I am always looking for people who will open the city. Rather, they will show themselves in this city. I do not understand and do not understand how the Germans live in Berlin, but I understand how you live. This is Berlin.

- Let me collect you food with me, because we do not leave anything in the morning? - suggested that Natasha approached.

We were loaded with packages and plastic banks, food was for a week. Alik was driving us to the hotel, and I squeezed in my hands a huge tub with a borscht, assuming how beautiful life would be in the coming three days - in the hotel room there was a microwave. As strange, I thought. Why did the most delicious Ukrainian borsch, I eat in Berlin?

Maybe it's really good there, where we are not.
