In the courtyard of the temple and Rhangel Michael, I met a little snuber girl with a blue -eyed son. The girl timidly and embarrassed spoke with the nun, who promised to bring her water and allowed her to take everything she wanted, from the warehouse of the hump of the church.
"Hey, baby, let's stand with me while mom collects things?" I came up. “You know, he completely stopped talking and does not leave me even for a second. I can’t really go to the toilet. ”
A boy dressed in a washed T -shirt and panties with curly blond hair is called Dima. Skinny, 2 and a half years. Indeed, he holds his mother's hand all the time. Mom is Katya. Now they live in kindergarten on Fadeeva Street, next to the school. They used to live with grandparents in the house, they had their own garden.
"And husband?" And the husband was on the flight, and now on the flight. I wanted to stay, but Katya reasonably decided that he should not be left without work. I ask if there was at least some warning about the flood. “What is there, the mockery of one thing ... In the evening, my grandfather told me that they said something about Storm and rain on the radio, or on TV, but they said very unobtrusively. We did not think that there would be something at all, although some of the documents were collected just in case. You know, as they say, God protects the banned. And they went to bed. And then they say (I didn’t see this) already at night, late, they let the running line along the NTV. But who is looking here with our NTV? I don't know these at all. In general, no one told us anything. We slept, understand? And Dimka was asleep, and grandparents. And I slept ... "
When the water went, a neighbor came running to them, whose father works as a minibus driver. All drivers were asked to leave somewhere out of town, then to ride and save people-to evacuate. And they stood on the mountain, but no one gave them the command to go down. Then they began to call their own - because it was too late to go.
This neighbor does not like the whole street - he is such a common enemy. Therefore, when he came running to wake Katya, Dimka, grandparents, they, grabbing the first thing that was at hand (Katya took her handbag prepared before bedtime, was going to her friend’s son’s birthday, a camera was lying in her bag) ran to a neighbor who lived along the street below.
Katya says that when they left the house, the water was ankle, then, when they reached the neighbor - already on the chest. And right in front of them, the house of this neighbor literally swam, fell apart, he was gone. And then they ran back to the “unloved” neighbor. The neighbor has a large two -story house, on the second floor, which the water still did not reach, 15 people gathered. After the father’s call, this neighbor began to run through all the houses of his street, screaming, knocking on the goal, and saved many life.
While Katya tells me all this, we load her stroller with food. She says that she has a sore liver, and in kindergarten, where they now live, they bring almost nothing but canned fish, which she can’t eat at all. He picks up a bag with 5 potatoes, inhales the smell: “How did I miss my potato! It, you know, is very good with onions and butter. She is ruddy right ... Dimka loves too. It’s very difficult to cook there in the kindergarten there, but there are friends (I don’t live with them, they have enough of their sinks), they will give me something to cook. Yes, and I will treat them. " I take part of the things, put Dima in a stroller (a stroller is alien, is about to fall apart) and we are going towards Fadeev Street, to the kindergarten.
While we are going, Katya continues the story. In the morning, the guys came from the Ministry of Emergencies and began to get everyone. It was necessary to see it! People in pajamas and robes, they were removed from fences and trees, no one said anything. We all asked: “What happened? What's happened? Why such a wave? ” Many here remember the flood, which was 10 years ago, but then there was no such thing. And we ask and ask, but they don’t tell us anything. They just took us with Dimka in one garden, and my grandparents with my grandfather. My husband calls me from the flight - he has a tantrum, male, terrible - I throw everything and go to you. And I think, and what should he do here? There is no house at home ...
Katya was not used to accepting other people's help at all. She herself helped everyone all her life as she knew and could. And now she is very embarrassed that she has to walk and ask for something. She says that there are no diapers or diapers in the kindergarten. And they also had their favorite Dimins panties - there was such a tail there - and someone stole them in the kindergarten. And he wakes up in the morning and says: "Mom, tail!"
Now they are offered a one -room apartment in Krasnodar instead of a house and a plot of land. For this family, as for many others, this is a completely not possible option - 80% of their food were vegetables and fruits from the garden, and without it it would simply not be survived. Katya also says that she does not understand what to do with these, so far not given, money, that they really are not enough for anything, and that they were promised a refrigerator, they threaten to give him out just the other day, and where to put it is not very clear.
A neighbor on the street, which also saved on the second floor with Katya, persuaded the commission to go to her house. The house is worth it. Outside, it looks great, well, a little dirty, but it has already become normal in the last days that at home is dirty. And inside - the walls collapsed, the roof is about to fall ... A commission came to it and says - oh, the house is worth it! No compensation and new housing! The neighbor invited them to visit, but the commission never went to visit. Another hour and a half, the neighbor persuaded her to write her down in the victims.
“Do you understand that she has nothing more to do? She needs to restore all the documents - this is to run everywhere all day, queues. At least sometimes they miss me when they see that I am with Dimka, but she is not. So what is she 78 years old? Here half a city is the same. Here are the only ones who did everything - these are insurers. They came straight to us, collected all the data, and two hours later they brought new policies. And I didn’t have to go anywhere - everything is ready. And for the rest ... "
The kindergarten is very large, there are several blocks in it, in each mothers and children live. The youngest girl is 9 months. I read somewhere that they promised (or even done even) to take the children out of the city. Katya says that the elders (who are more than seven) were really taken out, and the kids who cannot without a mother are all in the city. In children whom Katya saw, not everything is fine at all. In addition to the fact that they do not have the usual and necessary things and everyday life, they, like adults, experienced severe stress. For example, one girl draws water and people on the roof for days. Children are afraid of water-they do not want to wash, someone does not even want to drink. And some children stopped talking. There are some psychologists in kindergarten, but Katya does not really understand what they are doing and what they talk about with children ...
The kindergarten is high enough, water did not affect it. The soldiers built a bath for mothers and children, in the courtyard among the southern greenery and southern summer aromas, linen was hung. The doors of the block in which Katya lives are open, the curtains sway from the wind. Dima fell asleep in a stroller - his regime was violated and he now sleeps when he simply cuts him off. The sun shines. I can’t believe that a week ago Katya and her son Dima sat at night on the second floor of the house of their unloved neighbor and wondered what would happen next. And they did not know when the water came down.
It is impossible to imagine that for this temporary housing for many mothers with children they did not bring diapers and diapers, that a girl with a sick liver cannot get normal food and that a family of 5 people offer odnushka in another city. This does not fit in the head. How does not fit in her head and the fact that Katya smiles and jokes that she talks about what curtains she will sew in a new house when he appeared, and where his favorite panties with his tail will find Dima.
