Diered old people go to battle

How they live, survive and beat with officials pensioners in the outback

Next year, the insurance pension of non -working elderly Russians will grow by 6.6 percent. On average, they now receive 16.4 thousand rubles a month, that is, the increase will be about 1000 rubles per month. The Ministry of Labor believes that the indexation "will significantly exceed the level of expected inflation." In the spring of 2020, social pensions will increase by 7 percent (they are appointed by disability or in the absence of official work experience). Now the average payment is 9.2 thousand rubles. They will add 650 rubles to them.

Pensioners who continue to work are not forgotten. PF recalculating their insurance pension every year. This year, the maximum increase will be 261 rubles.

The subsistence minimum of the pensioner, as indicated in the draft law on the federal budget, will reach 9311 rubles next year. Sberbank NPF experts who conducted the study found that 70 percent of pensioners after a career, income falls one and a half times or more. Because of this, more than half of the respondents refuse planned large purchases and entertainment.

The elderly Saratovites told the "new" how they spend and replenish their family budget.

The old man and the shirts

Viktor Ivanovich puts on the side of the alley boxes of grapes, plum, late cucumbers and tomatoes. In transparent packages - orange rosehip and hawthorn. In the blue thermal drum - plastic bottles with milk. On a stool-fresh fluid honey in jars of baby food and raspberries in plastic cups. Berries are sorted by size: small glass - 50 rubles, large - 150.

“I am going here from a summer house of 50 kilometers and the same amount back. 350 rubles must be for gasoline. I try to take this and this to hook the buyer. I only have four types of apples today, ”the summer resident lays home -made cardboard price tags through the boxes. The names of varieties are bred with a black marker - Safran, Cortland, Antonovka, Trive.

Having arranged a ground counter, Viktor Ivanovich sits on a folding chair with a piece of foam rubber on the seat. Carefully strokes the knee.

“It hurts for three months. I can't stand for a long time. I went to the clinic. They shrugged there: what, they say, do you want at 70? "

Viktor Ivanovich speaks expressively and slowly, glancing at the notebook, whether I have time to record, is a teacher's habit. At school, he led the lessons of biology and economics (by education, the interlocutor is an economist in agricultural production), worked at the reclamation research institute. “The director and two watchmen remained from the institute. Fortunately, ten years ago I managed to retire. ”

At the old dacha, the pensioner organized an agricultural film in miniature: “In the garden and garden I have one and a half thousand items of plants-flowering and fruit and berry. Apgery with bees-carpathes, farm. " On the 65th anniversary, friends gave a goat. “She was on demolition. In the first year, she brought two, the next - three. Now I have 16 pieces. "

“They are all my little shirts,” Viktor Ivanovich smiles. - By intonation, they distinguish who exactly the name is. This is the Zaaninskaya Dairy breed: the goats are white, tall, lean. And what are smart, gentle! One pokes in his pocket, the other heads on his shoulder, the third rubs like a cat. ”

The summer house of the summer resident begins at 4.00. It is necessary to scratch the shirts, strain and pour milk into bottles, expel the herd into the pasture. “Dairy goats need to pass 10 kilometers per day. Two hours in the morning and evening, in any weather. ”

Viktor Ivanovich arrives in Saratov on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Do not fit into development plans

“Buyers are starting to go from 11.00 - pensioners, mothers on maternity leave. Then - at lunchtime, an influx from 17.00 to 18.00, ”the interlocutor shares observations. The level of demand depends on the calendar: “The worst time is the end of the month between the advance and pay. They don’t buy anything. ”

A woman in a yellow jacket stops at a box with a fadal apple. Viktor Ivanovich immediately starts a conversation: “Apples with bruises, but so sweet! And for just 20 rubles. " The buyer picks up a package, puts on the scales, asks if there was no more kilogram? "But are you mistaken, an almaz eye is exactly kilo!" - Viktor Ivanovich reassures, not paying attention to the extra hundred grams. A woman rings in a wallet with coins. 17 rubles are recruited. The summer resident agrees.

The trading alley is overgrown with peculiar services that allow you to earn even less wealthy citizens. In front of the shelter of Viktor Ivanovich, granny in a white hat and a coat are not in size, for a long time digging in a checkered Baul. "Mom, what did you want?" - the pensioner encourages an indecisive visitor. "Do you need jars?" - Smiles that. It quickly adds that the container was washed and very inexpensive.

The summer resident tries to attract regular customers. “I put all the customers into the notebook,” the interlocutor leafs through the pages, painted with small, selective handwriting. - When I come here, I send to each SMS: "I arrived."

In the fruitful years, Viktor Ivanovich invites customers directly to the cottage. “I found in the garage the old screen from the diacne. He wrote a felt -tip pen: “Berry. Samosobes ”and set in front of the counter. People came to me, recruited as much as they needed, at half a price. With some for five years, we are already friends. ”

There are almost no conflicts with buyers from an elderly merchant. “Basically, decent people - thank you, pay money. I feel my need, ”says Viktor Ivanovich. And sighs:

“True, in recent years I notice that the people have impoverished very much. Buy a pound or glass. They cannot afford, as six to seven years ago, a whole box. ”

The pension of the former teacher is 12 thousand rubles. Half goes to housing and communal services. The rest is country expenses. Only a land tax for a pensioner is 10 thousand rubles a year. “I have almost all my products. I only buy bread. We should go to Tashkent to the cemetery, where parents are buried. But there is no way. " Money proceeds from the sale of a summer cottage allow Viktor Ivanovich to help her daughter, who alone brings up two children.

In total, there are one and a half dozen elderly summer residents with apples and small asters on the alley. Women wrapped in shawls and stumble - there were frosts at night, from the asphalt pulls with icy cold. “We do not pay attention to minor inconvenience, like weather. We want one thing - so that no one is touching us - Viktor Ivanovich claps his pocket from a leatherette jacket. - Here I have a garden book, a passport, a certificate of labor veteran and a well -deserved teacher.

I am not a thief, not a beggar, I sell the fruits of my labor. But I feel like a criminal. I look around all day - suddenly they will come again? "

Officials of the district and city administrations disperse pensioners from the alley almost every day - and seem to enjoy the process. “There is such a sleek hamster, in a white stharged shirt, a tie. And he begins to mock us, 70-year-olds, she photographs, shouts: it is not supposed to trade here, you spoil the image of the city! I always ask such a surname and in which school they studied, ”Viktor Ivanovich strictly taps a finger on the page in a notebook with a list of offenders - the main specialists of the trade department, deputies of the district head, and police captains.

Especially diligently, the alley is cleaned before the visits of the great. “Hugging your eyes, hissing: so that your spirit is not there, Volodin is going! And what, Volodin is not a man, he does not eat tomatoes? Local officials are afraid that the highest authorities will see. There is a need here. "

Last year, the elderly from the wild bazaar made a letter to the mayor asking the mayor to put “neat plastic tables” here and install a feasible fee - 50 rubles a day (in the official markets, places are an order of magnitude more expensive and you need to pay a quarter forward, regardless of how much it will really allow you to work out health). Viktor Ivanovich himself took the letter to the city administration.

“The answer came: according to the General Plan for the development of the city, trading places are not provided here. We do not fit into the old people into their happy future, ”he shrugs. - No one tried to delve into the problem - where to go to these people? "

It is obvious to the old economist that demand determines the proposal. “If there weren’t them, the seller nods to buyers on the other side of the counter, there would be no us. Our cheap products are in demand. No matter how much we are driving, this need will remain. Why will none of the bosses understand that it is necessary to deal not with the struggle with us, but to create jobs? ”

In parting, Viktor Ivanovich asked not to indicate his last name and the name of the street, on which he and other pensioners trades. The former teacher fears that the characters from the “black list” in his notebook can take revenge.

"We are doing ourselves"

In the middle of the village of Podolny there is a new feldsher-midwife point. A white-chocolate-colored trailer looks very tiny against an abandoned brick brick, built by the Volga Germans at the beginning of the last century. Near the wagon there are two lanterns (a shortage of a scarce village) and a piece of fresh asphalt with the sign “Parking for the disabled”.

The area of ​​the building, where more than a thousand inhabitants of three villages should be treated, is 50 square meters. The construction cost the budget of 4.1 million rubles - 82 thousand per square. It remains to assume that under the trailer is a gold foundation. By the way, exactly the same amount - 4.1 million rubles - the regional authorities now intend to spend on the repair of one office in the building of the Saratov government. An application for work in office No. 317, where the governor holds small meetings, is posted on the public procurement website. For this money, it is planned to replace the heating and air conditioning system.

On the blue wooden door of the old rural FAP building, built approximately at the same time with Kirshu, the castle hangs.

About how medical care is in the village, “Novy” talked last year, after a resident of the bond Yuri Mosolov lost his feet because of the gangrene.

In January 2018, the villager was numb, his fingers began to blacken. Doctors-narrow experts-were once in a bump, but in the 1990s the district hospital was reorganized into an outpatient clinic, in 2007-to FAP. To the district hospital in the village of Rozny - 25 kilometers. Public transport does not go.

When the pain became unbearable, the neighbor took Yuri to the district center. The surgeon under local anesthesia amputated one of the fingers. But the disease continued to spread.

There was no anesthetist in the Rivne hospital. Mosolov was given a referral to the regional hospital in Saratov. There, the patient with Gangrene was ordered to go back to even, since urgent surgical interventions should be carried out at the place of residence.

It should be noted that a patient with tissue necrosis drove for 100 kilometers not an ambulance at all, but a neighbor Zhenya on the “Zhiguli-Steer”. Eugene feared that Mosolov would die in his car, and brought him to reporters. With the assistance of the press service of the regional Ministry of Health, the villager was hospitalized in the city hospital No. 1 of Engels. The leg was amputated on the upper third of the thigh.

Judging by the site of the Rivne hospital, the place of the anesthesiologist is still vacant here. Applicants are offered a salary of about 30 thousand rubles.

Walking awkwardly on crutches, Yuri hobbies to the sideboard. He takes out a pension of the pension from the shelf - every month the postman brings him 10,065 rubles. The pension managed to issue a pension last year: thanks to the attention of the press, officials of the village council and social worker took on trips to the PF. True, since last year, Mosolov’s representatives have not been to Mosolov.

“Yes, we seem to cope ourselves,” the cousin of Yuri, 62-year-old Sergei Smirnov, shrugs his hands. The brothers together are a bachelor's economy. "On VTEK Yurka they said, it can still work!"

The 58-year-old villager without a leg gave a second disability group (once a year he should go to Saratov and prove that the limb has not grown). The commission concluded that his ability to self -service is limited in the lightest first degree, the ability to move and work - in the second. Mosolov is recommended "types of work in any working conditions."

The main employers in the dwelling are dungar vegetable breeders coming from Kyrgyzstan for the summer. They pay, by rural standards, not bad - up to 1000 rubles per day. Yuri worked with Dungan after the collapse of the state farm for a dozen years. On crutches, it is not needed at the plantation. The employment service for the disabled person did not offer any vacancies, although the individual rehabilitation and abbreviation program (IPRA) indicates "services for vocational orientation and assistance in employment."

Fusser and nursing home

In IPRA, a lot of good is written. The disabled person is laid with room and walking strollers, prosthesis, sanitary chair, orthopedic shoes and even special trousers. Since this year, the technical means of rehabilitation have been engaged in not the management of social protection, but the social insurance fund. Sergei Smirnov went there in August (Yuri himself could not get to the sovereign people - from the village to the highway where intercity buses are going on, five kilometers need to go). “They said that they would bring everything in a month. But since then they have not called. ”

You won’t pass through the rural streets in a stroller. “I’m ramming the path for him at least in the courtyard,” says the older brother. - In winter, he is afraid on crutches. He crawls on the ass to the toilet if I am not at home. ”

“Last year, I went to the Volga on crutches on crutches. And this summer is a pipe business, he did not protrude from the yard, ”Yuri sighs. It is noticeable that in a year he weakened and lost weight. The man is heavily sank into a narrow chair at the stove, covered with a wiped blanket. In the corner on the nightstand is a small TV that caught 20 channels. The disabled person remains with him for the whole day, while his brother is at work.

In the summer, Sergei, like Yuri before, works on a tractor. In winter - a master of all hands in a rural school. The pensioner manages to engage in the garden and blanks. “Look, a full cellar,” he lifts the lint of the underground. Below on the racks, rows of cans with pickles and jams shine. “Yes, we and we can cope with our own clothes,” Sergey, smiling, squints towards a manual sewing machine. He learned to sew in childhood from his mother.

A trench is dug up through the courtyard - Sergey paves water supply into the house. “It took 3400 rubles for pipes and drain, and I will do the work myself. I still have strength, - he pulls the vest. “In the summer we handed it manually, and now I already brought the machine.”

Behind the gazebo, braided by grapes, it is composed under the canopy of a log. Homemade sleds on plastic pipes stick out of a pile of bitch. In winter, Sergey brings firewood from plantings to them. Sitting onto the deck, Yuri adds a crooked log on metal goats and is taken by a manual saw. “We don’t need a lot of firewood. We still have a German building, you can drown once a day. ” It costs more than 100 thousand rubles.

The brothers are afraid of losing housing. The house in which they live now belonged to the wife of Sergey, and now to her older children from his first marriage. The owner has long moved to the city. “They have already hinted that they want to sell everything here.

I can still work, I will fit somehow. Where is it? - Sergei nods at his brother. - Can I arrange him in a nursing home? "

I ask if Yuri agrees to move to the institution? He nods: "Where should I go?"

According to the regional Ministry of Social Development, 21 hospital for the elderly and disabled people work in the region. 5100 seats are provided. For three years, more than 200 beds were added. According to the department, there are difficulties with registration in neuropsychiatric boarding schools - too many needy. In ordinary nursing homes located in rural areas, you can get out of line.

While the material was preparing for the press, employees of the district social services center visited Yuri Mosolov and explained what to do to move to the institution. As the regional minister Irina Buzilova promises, "the disabled will be provided with the necessary assistance in the collection and paperwork."
