From the officer - to conductors ...

It seems to be now we are talking about the creation of a state -owned alcohol by the sale of alcohol. It was once. How will this affect the trade small business, the consumption of drinks with degrees of the population - a pitchfork on the water.

But, at the same time, at the same time, that in his last interview in 1991, the author of the famous poem “Moscow -Petushki” Venedikt Erofeev called the drunkenness of the fourth disaster in our Fatherland (after fools, roads, etc., now he would definitely add corruption and oligarchs). Without stretching brilliantly, in many respects, an autobiographically portrayed in the poem the “Russian alcoholic with a tender soul”, the writer can probably be believed. Although we periodically pulls us to push drunkenness in the first row, it is not without reason that prohibitive campaigns arise from time to time on a national scale. Does the feature in a national character painfully sticking it away?

Vasiliev against Vasyutin

“The heart said to me:“ You were offended ... Come on, Venichka,

drink. " So told me a beautiful heart. And mine

Reason? He grumbled and persisted: “You will not get up,

Erofeev, you will not go anywhere and you won’t drink a drop. A

heart for this: “There is no need to drink much, drink four hundred

Gram and tie. "

("Moscow - Petushki").

On February 1906, the philistine of Stavropol Polinsky was the philistine Arkhip Vasiliev and announced the theft to the assistant to the bailiff of the 3rd part of the city of Stavropol.

On February 18, in the evening, returning from work, he went into the official wine shop and there he got drunk to an unconscious state. How I got to my apartment - a complete failure formed in the memory. Only the next morning he found out from the neighbors that he had delivered him home in a cab by the city Ivan Vasyutin. Not to the site "until the sobering", as it should be, but carried out to the "port of the postscript".

The tradesman Vasiliev only managed to experience deep spiritual gratitude to the city Vasyutin, as he poked behind the kitty, so that with the help of a portion of nicotine to come, but there is no kitty. In it, the Arkhip Vasiliev penetrated, there should also be money - the “remains”, so to speak, from the pay! They gave out in his arms, with difficulty recalled, four rubles 20 money, he finally brought the saldo and bulldo, he bought a little tobacco, then he pumped 2 kopecks in the bench. “No, perhaps, all 40,” Arkhip Vasilievich (for such an amount - and to unconsciousness: about times, about the price! Approx. Ed. ) Self -critically reached the truth. In short, he figured out the expenses that were produced the day before and, painfully overcoming the hangover, streamlined by people and drogs, wandered to explain to the city.

He, oddly enough, returned the kiset without talking. I also laid out the money. But ... only 63 kopecks. Like, he paid ten to the carrier for delivery (“Very, sir, success, however”), and three rubles, they say, did not rustle closely with a trifle.

- How so?! - cried out in indignation and somewhat even nervously Arkhip Vasilievich. “Kisset with you, tobacco is in place, but there is no money!” I demand an inquiry!

But on the same day he did not dare to turn to the station, because he experienced trembling in the members, languor of the spirit and painfully all vanity. Later, on an inquiry, the city was referred to witnesses, in the presence of which he seemed to examine without a desire to vertically and independently move along the hospital Street, traveler Vasiliev.

As a result, only one of the witnesses was found only one, he supported the city, in a word they opened the case on the criminal part of the third of March 1906, and on the same spring day they were safely closed. For lack of evidence, and the absence of a criminal. Whether Arkhip Vasiliev quit drinking after that - the archive does not contain information.

I have an honor ...

“The border is needed in order not to confuse

nation. For example, we have a border guard and firmly

He knows that - this is not a fiction, not an emblem, because

On one side of the border, they speak Russian and

They drink more, and on the other - they drink less and say

In non -Russian. "

("Moscow - Petushki").

But, it happened that cases on charges of police officials of official crimes were investigated longer and for real. For example, one of them began with a document, which in the materials of the observation production of the prosecutor of the Stavropol Regional District Court is listed as a “denunciation”. “I ask you to submissively, Mr. Supervisor,” says in him, “make an inquiry, since in our village a safe police officer of the 4th camp Yakov, the tip luxuriously walks and takes bribes, namely ...”

And at first, the car spun a spore, despite the anonymity of the message. The police officer immediately ordered the testimony from the persons mentioned in him. The peasant Dmitry Lyakhov (50 years old, Orthodox, was not convicted), he greeted her degree (and the secretary recorded - approx. Ed. ): “In the beginning of 1917, what date I don’t remember, I came up with a neach officer and searched. He discovered four buckets of grape wine, in one barrel about four buckets, in another - at least a bucket. I asked not to draw up a protocol, and the tip said to me: you are selling a lot of wine, earn a lot. And he let me know that I would give him something. I treated the tip and offered 15 rubles. He took them and, despite this, drew up a protocol. ”

Others made similar confessions, including Ivan Chudnov: “In the first week of Great Lent, last year, a neach officer came to me with a search, discovered about four bottles of Kishmishevka, which was selected. At home I had only a daughter -in -law Evdokia Chudnov. After I found out about the search, and came to the tip to ask for the business to hush up. He invited me to put up and demanded three hundred rubles. I began to kneel in front of him and began to ask for forgiveness, since I have no money at all. Tsonechny said: Come on ten rubles. I laid them on him right now, and the next day I sent him a chicken and a dozen eggs. After some time, the tip caught a man, I don’t know what the accused of, and, having learned that I sold him vodka, he returned the chicken and a dozen eggs personally when I called for an inquiry, and the money remained with him. I did not bring the chicken to the house, sold it, and returned home with eggs. ”

Kishmishevka nevertheless, we note, is not the Erofeevsky cocktail “Tears of the Komsomolskaya Pravda”, which includes the cologne “forest water”, lavender and nail polish. A natural product is still from grape berries, and the beginning of the last century after all. Nevertheless, is it not from here the historical roots of the deaf defense grow to the well -known decrees and decrees to combat drunkenness and alcoholism and their occurrence? Taken-s, and asks, based on today's realities and observations ...

But we will get acquainted with the opinion of the other side. How did it (or wanted to see) what was happening to the officer of the tip?

“As a result of the order ... about the give an explanation on an anonymous complaint about the luxurious walk and the brethren from the peasants from the peasants for the trading of vodka, I have the honor to report the following,” the policeman wrote. -During the time of January 1 to March 1 of this year, twenty protocols have been drawn up for secret distillery and trading in vodka-varnka. For what my actions have increased against me, strong enmity from Vinokurs and merchants increased. In particular, recently, when on January 31, with the assistance of the guard of Kolesnikov, he revealed the secret distillery of Grigory Kurbatov and Semyon Gubanov, who was captured by the moonshine apparatus and the bucket of alcohol fluid was seized and the trade was disclosed by its accomplice Ilya Chudov ... I can’t explain anything more and I do not know the guilty of the above sly. ”

Now let's look at the reference sheet of the archive folder and carefully look through. In addition to everything, it indicates: there are no accused, material evidence - no, there are no applications, and in general - the deficiency of evidence, because the case has been discontinued.

Yes ... A lot of wine, Kishmishevka and vodka-Varenka flowed in two years, while all the witnesses were sought and interrogated. Meanwhile, the officer of Yakov Tkonichnaya went into the conductors of the Gratnonsky branch of the Armaviro-Tuapsinsky railway, and then completely disappeared. Major 1919 crept up. Before that, the royal autocracy ordered to live, but now those that are temporary, got down. And now he will blossom in the entire lilac 2012 ... Gosmonopolis for alcohol trading seems to be returning; Waiting for Kishmishevka and vodka-Varenka? As well as the officer of the tip, or like him, the honor of those who have, or vice versa? Still, it was not without reason that he was attached to the controllers-controders of the Housing.

And the word with the letter "

“I said from the very beginning that the revolution

reaches something necessary if it is done in

Hearts, not on the stenches. But once they started without me -

I could not be away from those who started. "

("Moscow - Petushki").

However, reporting, bribery, raiding in the current understanding in the Russian Empire were, alas, from the capital to the outskirts. Moreover, in different causes of worldly life. And even ... among relatives.

For example, on August 11, 1904, the emperor signed the emperor not easy, but a great -merciful manifesto. In other words, forgiving, as you might guess, violating the state of private merchants of alcohol (sometimes found this in the emperor’s sovereign). And now (I quote the bailiff of the 4th camp of the city of Stavropol): “The peasant Spiridon Grigoryevich Obvlorchenko stated that his brother Yakov Grigoryevich Grigoryevich at the end of the month expired, coming to him at the forest warehouse in the office, scolded with obscene words the most high-mating manifest, lying on the table. And when he, Spiridon Ostvrestchenko, and in the same place, in the office, the horse -drawer Andrei Moiseev began to warn Jacob not to scold, since he could answer, he again repeated the same obscene words. ” As a survey of witnesses showed, namely: "... his mother with his manifesto."

You guess exactly what was the very first word? It is funny, of course, it looks like a feathery pen, ink and calligraphy handwriting and a letter at the end. Today it is also inserted into speech in case of different classes, which are quickly formed from a seemingly single community - the “Soviet people”. Naturally, the gendarme department took up the denunciation (political supervision - not to be confused with the police). And what, went to the stage to the places of the remote sovereign, who insulted his mother and the very son of the Russian emperor?

No, he is not a child Arbat, and the year on the calendar was not 1937. The case was terminated at the proposal of the investigation of the gendarme colonel (it is a pity, the document only signed the signature and it is impossible to publish the surnames, the Griff was “secret”, but now you won’t get to the bottom of the bottom). Firstly, because it turned out: with his brother and other witnesses, the insults of Jacob are in hostile relations, that is, "their testimony does not deserve complete confidence." Secondly, from this rude phrase "it is impossible to make conclusions that Vestvchenko had the intention of offending their Majesty."

Rather, he further reasoned in the written report of the gendarme, he "expressed only dissatisfaction with the liberation of his brother Spiridon from punishment for the secret trade in vodka." Like, he had been in prison for this for four months, but he continues to trade, but they did not get along with him tightly, he wanted to take away the other a bench from the other. Speaking of a modern, successful small business, that is. Here is a denunciation and scribbled. But, it turns out, the dream broke off ...
