"Thank you! We are already at home "

Nadia Stolyar and her children became the owners of the apartment

In the next year, the number of Novaya Gazeta (No. 144 of December 25, 2017), my essay “Heavenly Voices” was published, which told about the love of Ivan and Nadi Stolyar.

Ivan Stolyar-soloist of the ensemble Aleksandrov, one of those who died in the Tu-154 disaster near Sochi on December 25, 2016. Exactly a year before the publication.

After the tragic death of her husband, Nadia remained with three minor children in an official apartment. Six months later, she was offered to free the departmental housing. Friends of the deceased husband stood up for Nadia. And then the most diverse high bosses said: while living ...

But what does it mean - for now? Live today, and tomorrow with three children outside?

Nadia spent the first six months in the hospital. Almost all the time under the droppers. The ensemble of Alexandrov helped what he could. But Nadenka lived with children in a service apartment still on bird rights.

And at the recent meeting of Vladimir Putin with the leaders of the federal media, the editor -in -chief of Novaya, Sergei Kozheurov, among other questions, raised this one - about the fate of the widow of the soldier and his large family.

The editors of Novaya Gazeta asked the Supreme Commander -in -Chief to give an order to give an order to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation to decide on the housing of the family of a military man who tragically died in the performance of official duty.

Such an assignment was given. A resolution of the President of Russia appeared on a letter from the editorial office: “Shoigu S.K. Please support. Report. "

We promised our readers that we will certainly tell how this story ended.

And now we tell.

Everything was not easy to solve. But the circle of people of the “high, natural accuracy” involved in this story widened and gained height. Nadenka and her children helped - attention, participation! - And the friends of the deceased Vanya Stolyar, and lawyers, and priests, and artists, and singers, and readers of our newspaper, and just people from just life. None of them ever divided into those who are sorry and who are not sorry, the best people and those who are worse, on interesting and uninteresting, on the right and unnecessary, on ours and not ours. Not divided and does not divide.

“I feel sorry for people. Especially all, ”said one person. And pity here is understood as tenderness. And tenderness as the highest stage of love ...

Sometimes we, with a nadoy carpet, without saying a word, admitted to each other: "It seems that Vanya helps from heaven ..."

No mysticism. Just human solidarity.

And yes, yes, that's exactly what it is: "Our dead will not leave us in trouble."

But the living, drawing forces in the "nutrient environment of memory", teach a lesson in scale. And - reliability.

Therefore, the story of the apartment for Nadenka the carpenter and her children is not just a story about the apartment. This is a story about the power of positive feelings.

Among those who helped very actively and absolutely disinterestedly, there were military people, and peaceful, and lawyers, and lawyers, and, for example, a member of the Public Council of the Ministry of Defense Vladimir Sungorkin.

And today I literally just get the joyful news from Nadenka the carpenter: "Children and I became the owners of the apartment."

Hooray!!!

We have a holiday in our editorial office, a holiday! We all congratulate each other and hug.

“Joy is propagated by division,” Olga Marinicheva loves to repeat my friend and colleague.

For the fact that this joy has become possible and real, the “New Gazeta” thanks Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russian Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu, First Deputy Minister of Defense Ruslan Tsalikov, Deputy Minister of Defense Nikolai Pankov.
