Match. Hockey player from the Samara colony

The film Daria Brykalova

Andrei Yeskin is 42 years old. He sits almost half of his life. First - for stealing bags "on a booze" - received four years. Then another 18 - was in a drunken company (Eskin calls himself a lover of drinking), a fight with a passerby began, a murder occurred. Yeskin claims that he was not to blame for anything and that he was sent to the case as already a person who has already served, but the court found him guilty. Now this period is almost running out: they planted it in 2004, and Eskin dreams of parole, parole.

Most of all Yeskin loves hockey. He recalls how, in childhood, in his native Samara he ran faster than all on skates, how he was going to engage in hockey professionally, and instead spends his life in conclusion. In the colony (almost the entire term he spent in the Samara correctional colony No. 6), Eskin organized a team, floods the skating rink, trains players - the same prisoners like him.

Recently, Eskin began to hope that after liberation he would get in the local Palace of Sports to train amateur teams, but recently his acquaintance, who serves there, said that it was forbidden to take former prisoners to work, except for janitors.

Eskin dreams of parole: "They call me to the court and say:" So, Andrey, we free you, everything, in ten days you can go home. There is no reason to keep you here, go in hockey in the wild, play there. "I return to the club, go to the locker room, and my team with which I play here already shares my shape: I took one helmet, the other skates, the third bib. And I have to swear with them. And I woke up in short, like a fairy tale. You think and think here again."
