Phantoms of stone jungle.
Phantoms of stone jungle.
As you, the person with higher education, with the 20-year-old experience
Jobs in enough prestigious organisations, not being thus
The alcoholic, has reached a life such?
"Everyone is guilty in all", - always spoke to me.
I WILL not begin to challenge this statement. And still I will try in brief
To state the history. I do it because in all without an exception
Histories of the falling, told to me vagabonds, accurately look through a number
The general laws.
The first. The person to whom has dropped out to remain without habitation, during the moment,
When it occurred, was especially weak and socially is not protected. The second.
The person was sick. The obligatory accompanying diagnosis - depression, which
More often it is called candidates for vagabonds by an alcoholism, but can have
And other reasons. Law the third - in this or that kind were
Its legitimate rights and interests are restrained.
So, my history. After open crisis of a foot I almost year has lain
Beds. Doctors threatened to amputate time and again a foot in general. And when I all
Has begun, terribly lame, to go, have told, that a lameness and a pain in a joint
Now will progress only. Fortunately, their prediction not
Has come true. Though I know about it only now. During all illness I
It has forcedly appeared in charge of the wife, as a small private concern, in
To which could work, not in a status was to pay to me money. So
That there were reasons for depression and sensation of full vulnerability. In time,
While I laid with the wounds, my wife has persuaded, to be exact, has compelled me
To sign the statement with the request to register on my living space of the
Parents.
Then, when I still hardly went, not having had time to receive even pension on
Physical inabilities, combined efforts this amicable family has begun me
To "convince". All means have appeared are good to catch mine
Living space. Hunger, blackmail, calls of militia, threat. Add to it full
And, maybe, then you will understand absence of means of subsistence, that with
Me occurred. And why I have agreed to take on receipt cash
About the fourth part of market cost of two rooms in the three-room
To apartment in the centre of Moscow in which was registered on the responsible
The tenant and to leave the habitation.
By the way, just at an extract law infringement also has been admitted.
It has been made without granting of the necessary inquiry in such cases
About that are ready to register me somewhere in other place.
My plans were under construction on possibility to get in the property
In Moscow suburbs a small small house. However they could not come true. Through
Some weeks have simply plundered me. From cash dollars does not remain
And a trace. So I became bomzhom...
Though it is possible to set many questions. For example, why held at itself
Cash? Why has left, not having the firm arrangement about
To habitation purchase? And a number of others, not less unpleasant...
THIS BLOW, get it precisely to a chin, for certain at once became
A knockout. It is difficult to tell, as though then all has turned back. But has worked
Any unknown saving scent which has forced to open eyes
And hardly to be discharged for an instant before contact with a fist. Blood from
The broken nose and rassechennoj eyebrows, filling in eyes, has scattered on clothes.
Was about five mornings. Behind a window of the 14-storeyed house, opposite to a church porch
Elohovsky cathedral, in Spartakovsky street in Moscow the sun sparkled.
The thickset figure of the young Caucasian with a fist was over me inclined,
Brought for new blow. I managed again to evade. Then, having seized
Me for hair and sharply having pulled a head downwards, it has struck towards a knee.
Only after that I have jumped, have jumped off from steps on a platform and
Has loudly cried: "For what?! What I to you have made?" We turned Any time
Against each other. While, having picked up a bag, I have not rushed with shout downwards on
To ladder. Pursuits were not.
Having writhed in poluzabyti, I have stayed on steps still nearby
Three hours. Was not possible to stop blood. Having absorbed in a fabric of a jacket and
Waistcoat, it has hopelessly spoilt my last decent suit. It
It was necessary to throw out at once in the container for dust. However the main trouble
Was in other. Again for uncertain time I lost possibility
To communicate with normal people.
About ANY reference to the authorities, by itself, could not be and speeches.
Who will believe to the person without the passport, shaggy and acquired a beard, in
To dirty clothes, with bruises on the person? Who will believe to the vagabond?
Later in a court yard of the house opposite to metro station "Krasnoselsky" I
Observed such picture. The young man with a mastiff on a lead feet beat
The coeval - the vagabond. Getting tired, it lowered from time to time from a lead
Dog. The vagabond with the person who for a long time has turned to bloody medley, continued,
Beating off from canines and rising after each next blow to shout:
"For what?!" He also did not think of hitting the offender back. It it is simple
Wished to understand, for what beat him and poison with a dog. Offstage easy
Tenants of the house observed. The owner of a mastiff was obviously drunk. But liking even rather
Respectable in appearance old women were on its party. All has come to the end with
Occurrence of two militiamen. The vagabond has rushed nautek. Behind it both have rushed
The representative of the law. The dog has received a sugar piece.
Article 19 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation guarantees equality of the rights and freedom of the person
And the citizen irrespective of a residence, from presence or absence
Registration on a residence or stay. But equality - concept
The theoretical. In practice many laws of Russia, not speaking about laws
Moscow and decisions of the government of capital, these rights and freedom narrow
Before, that places in a life for vagabonds practically at all does not remain.
Try, for example, not having registration in Moscow, to receive
The passport for travel abroad.
Anyway to the recent decision of the Constitutional court
The Russian Federation, confirmed illegality of some positions of the Federal law
"About an order of departure and entrance to the Russian Federation", the vagabond even to dream not
Could about such luxury.
Yes that foreign, try zaimet usual obshchegrazhdansky
The passport if you have lost it. For this purpose it was required to me more than five
Months to pester 92nd police stations. And thus in the document
The stamp about marriage with the wife, the certificate on which cancellation I flaunted
Has brought to the local senior lieutenant V.Popovu.
Besides, the chief of a passport office major S.Voronkov, fine
Knowing, that I am registered in Moscow more than 20 years, have refused to give out to me flatly
The tab certifying the fact of the Russian citizenship.
He has demanded the inquiry from militia that in a former place
Residence I have been registered more than two months. To make sure of it,
To it was to open enough a folder with the answer to its inquiry from branch
In Tsarina's where I lived earlier.
And still I managed to receive the passport which surprises
Personnel officers and managers of hotels, as date of removal from registration
On a residence for two years precedes date of its delivery.
Further we will be limited to simple transfer of the rights, which in
The validity are deprived the person without a certain residence. In them
Number - the right to the old-age pension and on physical inability. There is no document - not
Approach and is close to a polyclinic or a social security. Besides, without the insurance
The policy it is impossible to hope for normal health services in general.
Exceptions make unless a delirium tremens, a sharp psychosis and traumas, with
Which any person deliver in hospitals of a brigade of "first aid".
As, it is asked, in such situation to prevent epidemics of an itch,
Tuberculosis, AIDS and other diseases?
Unfortunate poor creatures, naturally cannot, to use
Constitutional laws on work and on rest. As a matter of fact they are deprived and the rights on
Life.
CERTAINLY, the overwhelming majority of vagabonds, women and men is
The dirty, very fallen alcoholics. And the neighbourhood with them does not promise
Anything good. But after all an alcoholism - illness. And it is required to be treated, as
All other illnesses. After all do not kill, and treat usual alcoholics and even
The maniacs who have carried away lives of many people. But, it appears, it is possible to sentence
People to extinction to purely property sign. To raise the question "to live
Or not to live? "In dependence on that, costs or not at the person in the passport
The stamp about registration on a residence, and whether is at it in general
The passport.
