To Bukhara and back

In 2005, Galya threw an apartment in Russia, took two children and arrived in Uzbekistan. There was no other way: “He clearly said to me:“ I will kill you ””

Now Galya is taking off a small “kopeck piece” in Nizhny Novgorod. In this city, she was born and lived most of her life. If Galya had not left for Uzbekistan, she would not be discharged from the mother’s apartment, which the brother later privatized. She would have her own housing. If Galya had not left for Uzbekistan, we might not have met. Because Gali, perhaps, would no longer be alive.

"Rose" on the head

“Once my husband and I went to visit friends, there is a private house. Let's go in our car. He got drunk. Back, we, of course, went by taxi. The car was left with friends. In a taxi, he recovered and began to pester the taxi driver:

- You e *** my wife! Where are you taking my wife?

- Man, calm down, you are going too.

- No, you e *** my wife.

And then I got it, and a taxi driver. In the morning, the husband wakes up-the car remained for friends.

“You gave the car a car!”

There was such nonsense. So many years have passed, I still remember. Then she ran away. I don’t remember where I ran away ... but far, as far as possible from the house. ”

Galya and her husband got married in 1989. We lived medium. He never got drunk-on the holidays he could drink a glass or two. Galya taught at a medical institute, and her husband took up the construction business in the late 90s. Just went to European repair and expensive finishes. Money appeared. A lot of money. For her husband, who grew up in an orphanage, they were like crazy. Together with the money, new friends appeared. And with them and regular drink. “He did not drink, he chewed. It began to tear off the roof, got drunk to the state of the rail, ”Galya recalls.

Once he broke a bottle and hit his wife with a “rose” on the head. Galya survived. And two months later, she filed for divorce. Then with the words “Do not get divorced, I love - I can’t” he locked her in the apartment. The first floor, on the windows of the bars, the neighbors are already accustomed to screams and quarrels. Her 70-year-old father stood up for Galya. Then the husband brutally beat the pensioner. And he filed a divorce himself. Galya and her husband were divorced. And a few months later, the old man died ... Galya tried to initiate a matter three times - and each time there was a refusal: there was no reason, my father died of old age.

“In the process of divorce, he clearly told me:“ I will kill you. ” I knew that he could kill. She knew that he could take some measures. And he will not happen, because he had friends in our police station. ”

It was scary. The distant relative of her mother, living in Bukhara, suggested Gala with her children to come to them. So in 2005, Galya moved to Uzbekistan.

It just hurts the head

In Bukhara, Galya issued a residence permit. The husband of her mother’s relative helped with work-the woman began to work in the subscriber department of a large Internet provider. The Internet and telephony were in demand: the friendly Galya was known in all local departments.

In 2006, she met Akbar, Iranian by origin. Big dark eyes, curly hair, gallant manners - it was difficult to resist. Galya became pregnant. Akbar constantly talked about large plans and money that was about to be. At the same time, he rejected all the proposals about employment: either to go far, then to get up early, then the boss does not like it. A few months later, Galya realized that she was not ready to live with Alfons, and broke up with him.

She earned money for childbirth and postponed herself, agreed with a certain doctor. When it was time to give birth, Akbar offered to take to the hospital. He promised that "he would suit everything." But in the end, I decided to save money that Galya postponed, and did not call her doctor. Galya was put in the common chamber on the second floor. A few days later the temperature rose. It turned out that part of the placenta remained inside. Again, the hospital, cleaning, unforeseen expenses ... Sometimes Galya asked Akbara to help with money. He replied: "It will be soon." Recently, a grown up son told his father on the phone: “I have been heard for 12 years for 12 years about“ I will be soon ”. Thank you, don't. "

Galya continued to work in the subscriber department of the Bukhara Internet provider, and in her free time she worked as a commercial freelancer. She wrote another article when she unexpectedly became ill.

“I feel something wrong in my head. I think you have to get home home. I turn to the boss. And he looks at me:

- Yes, you have a stroke!

I tell him:

- Yes, you do not mutate water. My head just hurts.

He later told me that I was looking at him and something there is a “bullet-bulk”. The face was distorted, the tongue fell out ... "

Galya woke up in the hospital, there were apparatus for physiotherapeutic procedures. Winter, terrible cold. She says that in 2009 there were no equipment for such sick equipment in the Bukhara city hospital. Not MRI, nothing. One of the doctors said that when a patient is stroked, it should be put in the cold - and everything will pass. The colder room was the separation of physiotherapy. Galya and transferred here.

There were no specialists who know how to treat stroke. Friends turned to the Russian Medical Center for which Galina wrote articles. Its boss brought a computer to the ward, connected the Internet, organized a video conference. At one end, the Moscow professor, on the other - Galya from Bukhara. She led remotely, prescribed therapy. There were no many drugs. Shortly before the stroke, she accumulated for a two -room apartment in Bukhara, but all savings went to pay for treatment and medicines. At a special forum, where people are looking for a part-time job, freelancers from all over the CIS collected money, bought and handed over medicines for Galina: from Krasnodar to St. Petersburg, from St. Petersburg to Moscow, from Moscow to Tashkent to Bukhara ...

“I was madly lucky that they helped in the [Russian] medical center. After a year and a half, my close friend, director of the Bukhara Jewish school, died on the same bed [in the Bukhara city hospital]. Also from a stroke. They left [in the hospital] for three days. I lived - good. Then she lived seven critical days - excellent. She died between three and seven days. ”

Incident

Back in January 2009, the medical consultation suggested that the stroke was caused by hereditary syndrome. Possible symptoms: vascular diseases, strokes, progressive deafness. The conclusion came from Moscow: “Expect for six months another vascular incident. Most likely, the heart. " And so it happened: Galya broke a heart attack. What a hereditary disease provoked a stroke, Galya still does not know.

“You could find out by making a genetic test. This is such prohibitive money. So I find out that I have mutations in some kind. And what? I will put the maximum in the frame and bequeath my body to some research institute. ”

Later, breathing problems and hearing began. Gale was discharged a hearing aid. She put it on and immediately took off. According to her, many hearing impaired refuse to wear devices.

“When you put on the device for the first time, you wait for the rumor to return to you. And he is completely different. You hear completely differently. Firstly, a metallic shade. Secondly, he constantly shakes. Thirdly, it does not give a voluminous sound. That is, sound on the one hand. And he is very finishing to hear with one half. ”

This refusal almost cost her life. In Bukhara in winter there were problems with heating. To warm the apartment, Galya constantly held gas burners on - many neighbors did the same. In the afternoon, the gas pressure was small, the burners were barely smoldering with the most twisted switch. And at night the gas supply was sharply increased ... One burner went out, a pillar of fire shot over the second. A rumble from the flashed burner would be heard by anyone. But not hearing a hearing at Galya, next to which the little son slept. The kitchen cabinet caught fire, a window made of plastic melted. A little more - and the whole apartment would flare up. Galya woke up because her nose was laid. The fire was extinguished.

In 2011, Gali had a sharp hearing. At work in the subscriber department, it was constantly necessary to call up the office in Tashkent, with clients. She wrote a statement of care. The only part -time jobs remained on freelance. A small income was barely enough for the life of Gali and the youngest son. Two children from the first marriage by that time had left for Russia.

If destined

In the spring of 2016, Galina expired the validity of the all -Russian passport, according to which a residence permit was issued. With the expiration of this period of residence permit, it would become invalid, and Galya - illegal. Therefore, she began to prepare documents for departure.

To take out the youngest son from Uzbekistan, she needed to get a notarized permission of his father. Akbar did not agree. Galya bought a ticket only for herself, brought her son to her father, showed a ticket and left the child. The next day, Akbar called back and said that he had agreed with a notary. He signed everything: permission to leave, for citizenship, to represent rights. If only she took the child, he was not going to grow him further. On the same day, Galya bought a ticket to the younger.

In Nizhny Novgorod, Galya lives with his youngest son and lap. Lapik is a three -legged Yorkshire Terrier. Once, a friend-provar said that she had a puppy at home, who needs to be put to sleep: he was born with a defect in the hind paw. Galya had long dreamed of York, so she took the puppy to her. Hugging the dog, she says with irony: "So two cripples met."

Galya says that Bukhara gave her another attitude to life. As if she got into a measurement where scandals are useless, and any plans are spinning around the phrase “Nasib Boshad”. From the Tajik language dialect in the Bukhara, it translates as “if it is destined”, “if the Almighty permits”. And here they often use the word "hi". It cannot be translated unambiguously. It means consent, but the Bukhars themselves said to Gala: “Do not listen to our“ hi ”. Because if they answered “hi”, this does not mean that a person will definitely do what he promised or agreed to. And everyone around knows it. ”

“I am very glad that Bukhara was in my life. She taught to be more philosophically treated. I could have got a part in a bank with an employee who drank tea for a long time and did not work ... And would something change? You could leave, then return. And the nerves are intact. And most importantly - I would have nothing to happen for it. I could calmly say to the boss: "There was no her." And he would say: "Okay, hi, come on tomorrow." I got used to this system for five years. And then she entered her. I realized that it is useless to break. ”

Recently, Galya gained courage and turned to friends with a request to help raise money for two binaural hearing aids. On October 30, she bought them and wrote:

"Everything is fine! I roar non -stop. The son has a completely different voice, completely. Grandfather-neighbor plays the button accordion. In the store, I looked stunned at talking people and burst into tears.

- What's happened??? Have you been offended?

-No, no, today I hear for the first time with the devices.

How I was congratulated by both sellers and buyers! I did not know that people know how to rejoice. ”
