One day with the accomplices of Novaya Gazeta. Photos and stories

Evgeny Kondratyev, 36 years old, Moscow

Business development manager. Married, two children

When I entered [the institute], there was a dream: to make medicines for people. When he graduated from the institute, there was no more chemical industry.

After the institute, he could not find a job and worked for six months as a chemistry teacher at school. I so respected teachers! He left because I realized that I could become an evil teacher.

Rather, I am more a successful person than not. Above the average in the country. Or maybe even in Moscow.

At the head of state are security forces. And there is a very big difference in income in the country: the poor are poor, the rich are rich.

I spend a lot of time on business trips, so I try to spend more time with children.

I am implementing my own flaws in children: my daughter (9 years old) is now engaged in sports tourism, and the son (4 years old) is engaged in a foot of a football school for kids.

The first time I accidentally saw the newspaper about 10 years ago - I bought it on the train. About two years ago he began to read. I read about politics, investigation. I do not follow a specific author, rather, the topic as a whole.

Panama offshore, for example, is an excellent investigation, or a cycle of articles about Prigozhin.

I would like more analytics. Not just reports and investigations.

Oleg, Vladivostok

Supervisor. Married, two children.

In the garage of Oleg Godisov hangs the flag of the coast guard of the FSB. Oleg Viktorovich, - former head of the State Marine Inspectorate of the Border Administration of the FSB of Russia in the Primorsky Territory, captain of the 1st rank. In 2007, a criminal case on receiving a bribe was opened against him. In 2009, the jury fully acquitted, but in 2011 the upper court sentenced him to 4.6 years of a general regime colony and deprived of military awards and pensions. Oleg Viktorovich went to freedom in 2013 and went to private business.

Now Oleg Godisov is held by the post of deputy general director in a private shipping company. They carry frozen fish products from the regions of the ports of Russia, China and South Korea. “In winter, of course, there is more free time. But in the summer it is hot. ”

From plans for the day, - take the youngest daughter for a holiday at the university, and have time to prepare for the evening celebration.

Oleg Viktorovich with his wife today ( December 22. - Approx. Ed ) 28th anniversary of the wedding. “When they married, everyone joked that the day is the most ideal date for the wedding - the longest night of the year.”

We stop by choosing a bouquet for his wife. On the way, I ask about what the year was. “Well, the salary has grown, though due to the fact that there was more work. It was normal a year. But what will happen in the next ... who knows. Now VAT, communal apartment - everything will rise. ”

Alexander, Samara

26 years. Programmer in a local IT company.

I took up programming immediately after graduating from the institute. He was fond of football at school. In recent years, he became interested in politics - so he met the New Gazeta.

2018, in my opinion, is quite ordinary. I devoted most of it to work. He went on his first vacation in several cities - to Moscow, Peter and Minsk.

The main political event of the year is the election of the President of Russia, which passed without Navalny.

In my opinion, patriotism is a sound assessment of what is happening in the country. If we are told that the whole world has rallied against us, we must figure out why it happened. Perhaps some wrong decisions were made on our part?

Periodically, I am thinking about leaving the country, but this is rather not a desire to leave, but an interest: why not try.

I began to read “New” in 2016, monitor news, I read Kirill Martynov, Julia Latinin and Ilya Azar. And having looked at the interview of Dmitry Muratov on the channel “Mosthenepozner”, I would like to sincerely wish that none of you never had to lose your colleagues.

Victoria Valentinovna Mochalova, 73 years old

Candidate of Philology, senior researcher at the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Moscow

My profession and hobbies happily coincide: I am fond of literature and history, especially the XVI - XVII centuries. I usually have very little free time. But when it appears, I try to devote it to exhibitions, theater, music, reading, friends and family.

In general, 2018 was, alas, heavy. Heavy from the condensing lead atmosphere, terrible disasters, crazy processes.

For me personally, this year contained a series of irreparable losses of loved ones, relatives, wonderful people ... For me, the reality of my life has changed, and I am trying to maintain the "effect of straightforwardness" in it.

If we talk about expectations from the “new”, then I would like to hope that the newspaper can continue to resist all the unfavorable winds and trends, which I sincerely wish her in the coming year - in the spirit of Maxim “If not me - who? If not now, then when?! "
