"All inclusive".
"All inclusive".
On Cyprus six newspapers, from them one - semistate, as
The speaker of parliament Spiros Kiprianu was expressed. We have visited in
Newspaper editions "Harajgi" (Nicosia). It is body AKEL -
Progressive party of the working people of Cyprus.
The newspaper leaves seven times a week format п 2 (a format
"News") on 20 pages, on Sunday - on 44. Moreover magazine
Edition lets out. And regular journalists only 22. All
Together (with type-setters, drivers of cars, the cleaner) - 50.
Work since early morning till the late evening. In a word,
Loading at the Cyprian journalists be healthy!
[Journalistic village. The cafe] AKEL is a party of communists. And
The newspaper communistic. On tables at journalists Lenin's portraits.
And it does not confuse anybody and does not revolt. There in general the political
Life quiet. On parliamentary elections four parties struggle,
Communists - one of leaders, and at them always is enough places in
Parliament. And any passions and mordobitija. (Already after ours
Departure for Cyprus parliamentary elections, and on them have taken place -
Imagine! - communists, and now the head have won
Parliament the communist is.).
By the way, there live the Cyprian journalists not very much. The fee is not present,
Circulations small (6-12 thousand copies), working premises
Close (on three persons in a room), the edition building is far not
Presentable (a two-storeyed private residence with a cellar) though it is one
From the oldest newspapers of Cyprus with the settled reputation - it
Exists since 1956.
But here the Union of journalists of Cyprus lives very much even not bad. About
All I will not judge, but about base of rest of the union - journalistic
Village - I will tell. As a matter of fact, to meet this village
Was one of overall objectives of our trip to Cyprus. Business in that,
That Association of editors of regional Russian newspapers,
Headed by unruly Sofia Borisovnoj Dubinsky, and
Inter-regional agency of the information "All Russia" (the executive
Director Sergey Valerevich Kalmykov) have conceived to make the noble
Business - to create on Cyprus the International journalistic centre, where
Mainly Russian journalists will be going to. To discuss
The professional affairs and to have a rest, certainly. The chairman
The union of journalists of Cyprus Andreas Kannauros already familiar to us is ready
To give us such possibility on the basis of the village.
It here that the such. The state has allocated for 99 years to the Union
Journalists a solid site of the coastal earth - near to
Larnaka, in several minutes from the airport. The Earth on Cyprus, that
More fertile, especially at the sea, - a thing very expensive. So
That it is possible to present, what invaluable gift has made
The government to journalists. It also has allowed to spend to the union
Prestigious lottery (with draw of the real estate, cars and so forth)
The income of a lottery has been directed on building of cottages. Except
That, there were charitable donations, became
Private payments.
Now in journalistic village of 14 cottages with all
Conveniences. They little bit different - are with one bedroom and with two.
Well and, certainly, in each cottage kitchen, a drawing room, a verandah,
Small garden, and also the colour TV, refrigerator, toilet,
Shower. The small house with one bedroom costs 10 Cyprian pounds, with two -
14 pounds (I repeat: 100 US dollars exchange on 60 Cyprian
Pounds) irrespective of members of a family. In general, one cottage on one
Family. But such is the price for members of the Union of journalists.
Who in the union does not consist, pays for two pounds more, with
Businessmen take even more - 14 and 18 pounds. For the Russian
Journalists the Cyprian friends are ready to give cottages for the same
The prices, as the. But only from the middle of October to the middle of May,
And during a summer season from the the release is not present. Run here and foreign
Colleagues. For example, next day after our departure
Journalists from Germany should occupy cottages.
To us have allocated two cottages - for men and women. Cottages,
By the way, roll in colours. So it is a lot of them and they such huge,
Bushy, that small houses practically are not looked through. We
Have changed clothes and have gone down to the sea. Someone lapped, someone feet
Has washed... It was healthy: the dazzling sun, the cloudless sky,
Boundless Mediterranean sea. And anybody around, nobody stirs.
We had dinner in spacious cafe where can take places about hundred
The person. Is here and shop. More shortly if means allow,
It is possible to board in cafe or to buy fresh products in shop.
And only two persons - the husband serve journalistic village and
The wife, newly-married couple. They here also live, occupy a cottage.
And nevertheless, we have solved, in village is dullish. With grandsons here
To go - remarkable rest it will turn out, and if you are younger,
It will want noise city and excursions on Cyprian
Sights.
Definitive variant [Pathos. A kind from a balcony (in hotel
"Phaeton")] the such: since October we rent in hotel
"A phaeton a scourge" (Pathos) 30 double rooms. With a management
Hotels the arrangement is reached, that in October-November will be
It is organised six arrivals by duration
Eleven-twelve days everyone to take part in which
Can to sixty persons. In each arrival it is planned
To spend professional "a round table", evening-presentation,
The entertaining-game action.
Base cost of accreditation of one person makes 640
Or 680 US dollars (11 days - 10 nights or 12 days - 11 nights
Accordingly). This price includes flight on a route Moscow -
Pathos - Moscow regular flight of airline "ц ц ц б ц ц ц ц б ",
Residing at a double room on system "all inclusive",
The medical insurance, transfer on Cyprus (the airport - hotel -
The airport), services Russian-speaking accompanying, and also participation
In all actions spent by the journalistic centre.
Organizers fine understand, that the named sum - 640-680
Dollars - it can seem high, but actually on
20-25 percent below market cost. Those prices, which
Publish various agencies, mismatch the validity.
Employees the ARS-PRESS have carried out the whole research specified in
Announcements and actual expenses also were convinced, that some prices
Are obviously underestimated. The sum named by the International journalistic
The centre, covers all necessary for high-grade residing on
Cyprus expenses also excludes "surprises" in the form of not planned
Expenditure for an expensive food for all resorts and the basic services
For tourists. Therefore, being in MZHTS, neither journalists, nor their members
Families do not feel diskomfortno because of possible shortage
Means. As one of the editors who have visited recently in has joked
"A phaeton a scourge", here it is possible to arrive with one dollar in a pocket - and
With it to leave home.
Well and now we will recollect that green ribbon, which us
Have ringed at settlement in hotel. This ribbon just and
Testifies to that you are attached to system "all
It is switched on ". It means, that you will not have any problems with
A food and drinks. Both breakfasts, and dinners, and suppers at restaurant -
All for you is free. Moreover, on the coast there is a cafe,
Where come directly in beach suits, there too all is free.
Amazing cold Cyprian juice (anything I am more tasty I do not know),
Any snack, any dishes - all for simple and how much you want.
As at communism.
I to you will name some dishes. If it is possible to be on Cyprus -
Try, will not regret. Horjatiki salad - rural salad.
It consists of tomatoes, the cucumbers small cut leaves
Salad, green or sweet red pepper, black or green
Marinaded olives, brynzas with addition of an olive oil and
Wine vinegar. Dzadziki - a mix of the fresh, small cut cucumbers
With garlic and other spices, filled with yoghurt.
Taramo-salad - the salad consisting of caviar of a pollack and
Mashed potatoes with addition of spices, a lemon juice and
Olive oil. Tahini - sharp paste from nuts and spices.
Dolmadakja - a small meat or rice stuffed cabbage in grape
Leaves. Suvlaki - a shish kebab (mutton or pork). Kleftiko - meat,
Baked in a foil or in pots in the special
Dome-shaped furnaces. Kokoretsi - the slices fried on a spit
The mutton and beef interiors (kidneys, a liver, heart).
Musakas - a baked pudding from a mincemeat, tomatoes, a potato,
Eggplants, eggs. Till now I feel taste it is thin nastrugannoj
The pork fried in an olive oil like brushwood,
Small fried kolbasok, exhaling delightful aroma and
Ready to thaw from own grandeur.
And in general on Cyprus mutton, beef and pork usually fry on
Coals, bake in clay or in pots with an onion, a bay leaf,
Pepper and other spices. It is very tasty prepare fish, squids,
Octopuses, crabs, shrimps, oysters, mussels. Them not only fry
On coals, but also cook in an olive oil, salt and pickle.
From sweet dishes the most traditional are green
Walnuts in a syrup, rizogalo (sweet boiled rice with
Cinnamon), the halvah made of semolina and nuts with
Addition of sugar, honey and vegetable oil.
As to alcoholic drinks everything, that is made
On Cyprus, it is possible to take free - beer, dry and fortified wines,
Vodka, cognac, brendi - that is necessary for soul. Are especially excellent
Dry wines. If you reserve drinks not the Cyprian
Manufactures it is necessary to pay for them.
The curious moment: on Cyprus ten vinodelcheskih factories, all
They every year in September participate in a holiday of wine, which
It is spent in the city of Limassol. Within two weeks, speak,
Here wine flows like water. Whether not therefore in this city has developed
The largest Russian community? Here and Moscow mayor Jury Luzhkov
Likes there to turn: a chapel to Limassol has brought, a monument
To Pushkin has put.
[Larnaka, the airport. We are seen off by the ambassador V.A.Pavlinov] If
Luzhkov I will inform still here that has come up. The Russian ambassador V.Pavlinov
Has told, that the next arrival to Cyprus Luzhkov - on this is expected
Time it will arrive to Pathos together with TSereteli. This known sculptor
Promised to Cypriotes to put a monument to the Aphrodite. "More than
Cyprus ", - has smiled the ambassador.
The island climate in October and November - is how much favorable in
Those months which are chosen for arrival of journalists?
It is necessary to tell, that Cyprus quite often name the country of eternal summer.
And it is not casual: here all year long there is a clear solar
Weather. The spring here comes in February. Hillsides
Become covered by a bright flavovirent carpet of grasses with red, white,
Blue and violet specks of colours. In valleys turn green
Fields, put on the new emerald dress vineyards and gardens.
In air aroma of blossoming lemon trees floats, smells sweet
Jasmin which Cypriotes like more than other colours.
The summer on Cyprus begins in May and lasts to the middle of October.
Even in the winter the temperature practically does not fall below 15 degrees
Heat. The summer is it is time painful heat. A thermometer column in
Shades quite often rises to a forty-degree mark. At midday
It is possible not to see the shade - the sun directly over a head. The nature
Fades. From trees the foliage falls down. In valleys and on the mountain
Slopes fade and burn out grasses. Mountains again become
Krasnovato-brown as if them have burnt in the potter's furnace.
In a summer time on Cyprus there is no potable water - dry up
Almost all rivers which are pulled out by rough streams from in the spring
Of mountain gorges and even overflow banks, calling flooding. In
Each hotel room - an inscription in several languages (is and
In Russian): "Water is precious - protect it!".
Heat does not allow to leave in the field, on job. Therefore Cypriotes
Wake up very much early to cope with all affairs to
Approaches of a wearisome heat.
The first rains (and for them on Cyprus wait with the big impatience)
Notify on approach of autumn. But also autumn on this surprising
Island it is not similar to ours. Slopes of mountains again put on the magnificent
The green dress, cyclamens, hyacinths, carnations and buttercups blossom.
Peasants reap a crop - apples, pears, plums, apricots,
Peaches, fig, grapes, olives. Collect also sweet in the autumn,
Fruits of a carob tree thawing in a mouth which quite often name
"Oil": many families of farmers live that
Collect these long dark brown pods. Them it is wide
Use in confectionery business and perfumery.
Crop on Cyprus collect not only in the autumn: in the early spring
Vegetables keep up, breads, water-melons, melons, bananas in the summer grow ripe. With
Arrival of winter gathering of oranges, tangerines again begins,
Grapefruits, almonds... And again vegetables. Yes, on island peasants
In a year remove on two crops of cucumbers, tomatoes, a potato and
Other vegetables.
***.
There are such scenes in a life which it is so deep and
zanozisto are engraved in the memory, that anything them therefrom not vykovyrjat.
And the further they leave in the past, the is more convex and is brighter
Become.
On one of evening banquets in our honour gave a concert
Folklore Greek-Cyprian ensemble. The orchestra consisted all from
Four persons, and throughout two hours he played the string
Tools, not interrupting for minute, national melodies.
Children and girls from ensemble rose in a circle and danced, having put
Hands on shoulders each other. And in the centre the young man in
Traditional Cyprian suit got up to miracles: put on a head
Against each other a glass behind a glass - five, six... Nine, ten
- And too danced.
In the centre has jumped out Nadja Alenina, the director for communications with
The public the ARS-PRESS and simultaneously the ringleader-inventor,
pevunja and tantsorka, - and itself began to put glasses on a head
The dancer, say, whether is not present here a dirty trick. Twelve, thirteen...
Sixteen - are danced by the Greek with all this unimaginable pyramid
On a head. But not this scene has got stuck in memory.
Splinter dances ran. Girls and children, taking the friend
The friend for shoulders, danced so harmoniously, synchronously, loading the friend
The friend passion and any courage, resoluteness,
Purposefulness, that murashki ran on a body. No, such
The people not to win, not to break.
But here an orchestra in concert end, not stopping,
Has burst the American smash hit of "Sex bombs", and in some seconds
All has changed - dancers have got rid of hands and have begun to shake,
zadergalis, have mixed up in mad American rhythms,
Having turned in uncontrollable razuhabistuju crowd...
As it is easy to transform the people into crowd.
