As scientists have proved, not only a person, but also any living being can create a subtle field around him and control it (as a rule, this happens subconsciously).

Who has not seen what happens when a dog drives a cat into a dead end? She turns to her pursuer and assumes a certain pose - bends her back, lifts her tail with a pipe, dilates her pupils ... The dog freezes in place, but not at all because he is afraid of this threatening pose. In fact, according to psychics, a dense energy field is formed around the cat, which cannot be overcome, reports with reference to Salik.biz.

And here is a telling example from history. As you know, under Kutuzov and Napoleon, horses were killed more than once, and the generals and orderlies who were nearby were torn with cannonballs ... However, both of them avoided wounds, although they never bowed to bullets.

As for Napoleon, while still a lieutenant, he always went into battle ahead of his grenadiers and was invulnerable to bullets. Napoleon did not change this habit even in the rank of general, thus instilling courage in French soldiers and dumbfounded - in enemies. From the very sight of him, mysticism emanated.

An interesting story told by the famous Petersburg parapsychologist A. Martynov. Anatoly Vasilyevich heard her from a former front-line soldier from the city of Tikhvin named Antonov. During the assault by the Red Army of the German fortress of Breslau, a platoon of machine gunners received an order to take a church in the middle of a large square.

The smokescreen helped the platoon to seize the church and provide communication with the aim of adjusting the artillery fire. However, the wire was soon broken, as the area was completely shot through. The commander gave the order to restore communication. Antonov's partner, who went first, was killed a few seconds later.

It was Antonov's turn to go, who, by the way, did not receive a single scratch during the whole war. Later he recalled that the asphalt around him crumbled under the bullets, but none of them touched him. Antonov crawled under this hail of bullets for about fifty meters and safely connected the wire, after which he returned to the church under the same furious fire. Already there the fighter lost consciousness from overvoltage ...

Nestor Makhno and the famous Soviet pilot Alexander Pokryshkin were famous for their phenomenal invulnerability. The latter had hundreds of aerial duels, from which he emerged unharmed. The best German aces hunted for Pokryshkin; Luftwaffe pilots managed to shoot down many wingmen of Alexander Ivanovich, but he himself seemed to be conspired.

If we talk about political leaders, then the undoubted record for survival among them is the former Cuban leader Fidel Castro. According to the American media, at least six hundred attempts were made against him, and the killings were almost always planned by professionals. the highest class, which rarely misfire. However, the CIA and Cuban counter-revolutionary organizations were powerless against Castro with all their poisons, bombs, bullets, etc.

How do scientists explain this phenomenon? They say that the bullet moves in a straight line only "for itself", but in reality it flies according to the geodesic line of space. Therefore, if the space around a person is curved, the bullet will bend around his body, which in this case is a kind of gravitational mass. But this is about bullets, but what about poisons, bombs and other methods of murder that were used, say, against the same Fidel Castro? Why didn't they work?

And why are there so few “unkillable people” compared to “mere mortals”? The answer to this question lies, as it seems to us, in the field of the human spirit. The statement that “the brave bullet is afraid” was certainly not born out of nowhere ...

We have all heard about this sign from American films more than once, but Great Britain is the homeland. What does this mean, why is this and where do the roots of such a tradition come from?

During the reign of Queen Victoria, many modern wedding traditions were born, including this one. In the 19th century, symbolism reigned in fashion and all objects had their own meaning. It was believed that throughout life each person has several transition periods, one of which is a wedding. Therefore, it is extremely important to approach marriage with all seriousness, and with the help of ceremonies to guarantee yourself a happy family life.

This is how the tradition arose: you need something new, old, borrowed and blue or blue at the wedding.

Let's figure it out!

Something new

Everything new is, accordingly, the beginning of a new cycle in a person's life. The new thing symbolizes the willingness to leave the old life and start creating a family. This is a transition to a new status: from a girl to adult woman... Most often, a wedding dress is something new.

Something old

Such a thing symbolizes the bride's connection with the past, with the parental home. Although the girl begins to create her own new family, she must not renounce the old. So that she does not forget her family and friends who raised her, and her maiden life. Best of all, one of the family heirlooms is suitable for the role of such a thing: a brooch, hairpin, earrings, any jewelry.

Something in debt

Means that communication with friends and relatives after marriage will not stop. The thing taken in loans suggests that a girl can count on help, support or advice at any time. As a rule, some little thing is taken from the bridesmaids.

Something blue or blue

There are several interpretations of this tradition. Initially, this has religious significance. The fact is that the blue color symbolizes the Mother of God, the Virgin Mary. The color of fidelity and purity. Most often, a blue ribbon was used to bandage the bride's bouquet. Nowadays, it can be anything: from accessories for the bride to decorations for the hall.

Such a wonderful wedding omen came to us from the British. In turn, YABkupila offers ideas: to use such a blue or light blue at a wedding.

We have all heard such phrases more than once. People are throwing the word "tannins" like football players with a ball in a stadium, but something tells me that most wine lovers, if you get them to clearly answer what "tannins" are, they will not be able to give an exact answer. So, let's finally figure it out ...

Here is the first amazing fact regarding tannins: tannins are TASTY (have no taste) and they are odorless. What we "feel" when we come into contact with tannins is a reaction from the interaction of this substance and the proteins that are in our oral cavity- absolutely structural sensations. Indeed, all that tannins give is “mouthfeel”.

We know where tannins end up, but where do they come from? The answer is very simple. Tannins are found in the skins, seeds and stems of the vines (as well as in the bark and leaves of trees, etc.). And because grape skins are macerated to make red wines and because they are almost never used to make white wines, red wines are tannin and whites are not. The tannins are, in fact, related to a substance called anthocyanins (the elements that make red wine red), which are also found in grape skins. And when this bundle (correct name proanthocyanidins) comes into contact with grape must acids, acids break down tannins from anthocyanins, allowing these colorants as well as the actual tannins to fill the entire wine.

But despite the fact that the skins, bones and stems of the vine are the main source of tannins in most wines, tannins can also penetrate into wine and through ... oak barrels! Tannins are also present in wood, and although the chemical composition of these tannins is different from those found in grapes, they are nevertheless tannins as well. More importantly, the tannins that are released into wine during aging in oak barrels (especially new ones) are generally "more potent" than those found in unaged wine. It is curious that when red wine is aged in oak barrel, then there is an exchange of tannins between the wine and the barrel.

So tannins give red wines texture, but they also have another, even more important, function. Tannins naturally slow down the oxidation process and therefore allow the wines to LIFE. So, theoretically, the more tannins a wine has, the longer it can last and the better it matures. However, not all tannins are created equal. The group of compounds to which tannins belong is very diverse and complex. Therefore, for example, those tannins that are in slowly ripening grapes, in their own way chemical composition differ from those found in grapes ripened in one very hot week. Also, we know that and are two very tannins. grape varieties, but those who have tasted wines from these two varieties can confidently say that the tannins in these wines are completely different.

Another way of getting tannins into wine is through the chemical compound "tartrate". Tartrates are small crystals of tartaric acid salts that are sometimes found in the sediment of old wine. But, strictly speaking, tartrates are NOT tannins. Tartrates are the potassium salt of tartrate acid, but this salt often contains a certain percentage of tannins. Thus, the more tartrates will be in the wine, the more "developed" the wine (you can read "less tannin"). For the sake of final clarity, I will add that not all precipitates contain tartrates or tannins. In unfiltered wines, most of what is at the bottom of the bottle is in literally small particles of grape skin or pulp. They are very easy to distinguish from tartrates by their color. The grape sediment is dark purple, while the tartrates are fairly light crystals. And let's be clear that all these substances are absolutely NATURAL and HARMFUL. Still, they should not be swallowed, since they are still a by-product of wine that can be slightly bitter, but they are by no means toxic. I cannot tell you how many times people have returned to the store complaining about tainted wine. But what caused them these fears was just an ordinary sediment.

This is the essence of tannins. There are actually many more chemical explanations, but we won't go that far. In conclusion, I will say that tannins are absolutely inseparable from the essence of wine. Without them, wine is not "wine."

Examples of highly tannic wines in different price categories:

The wine has a deep ruby ​​color. The exquisite bouquet is dominated by aromas of red berries, light shades of tomato leaves and herbs, nuances of vanilla and cocoa.

The taste is elegant, intense, rich, with silky tannins.

The aroma contains notes of raspberries, blackberries, cocoa, licorice, candied cherries, which are complemented by sweet tones of spices. A wine with persistent tannins and refreshing acidity. Long aftertaste. The wine goes well with tenderloin skewers with tomatoes and halloumi cheese, fillet in red wine with pepper and caraway seeds, bison burger, lamb with fresh herbs.

The hero of the traditional column "SE" is the famous midfielder of "Torpedo", CSKA and the USSR national team, a participant in the 1962 World Cup. Lots of interesting stories about Streltsov, Voronin, Beskov, Bobrov, Tarasov and other legends of our sport.

He was once a great footballer at Torpedo. How many of them survived? Our hero and Viktor Shustikov. Everything.

Ranevskaya

We are going to Nikolai Alekseevich in the acting village of Zhavoronki. Feels bad, but glad we are. Nearby is his wife, actress of the Mossovet Theater Galina Dashevskaya. Drives away an affectionate mongrel from the guests.

- Looks like a dog Ranevskaya, - breaks out from us. Galina Samuilovna played with Ranevskaya in the same theater. She perfectly remembers both herself and the dog.

Yes, also a mongrel, nicknamed Boy. Found on the street, sick, lame, shabby. Has cured. Faina Georgievna lived alone, so she did not see a soul in him. She often came to the theater with him. Left in the dressing room, the dog was waiting for the show to end. And after the death of Ranevskaya, the boy was taken by her friend.

Actually, I walk, ”Manoshin smiles at us. - But today the state of health is not very good. Is it okay that I will speak while lying down?

- No problem. We heard an anecdote about how Galina won a box of cognac on your name.

This is not an anecdote, but the truth! I am somewhere at a training camp, and we have a lot of Georgian friends in Moscow. They had money. We were invited to a party at the House of Cinema. Galya went with her friends. All these Georgians have names - a doctor, artist, poet, sculptor, architect. They argued: who did more for Georgia? Everyone gets up and lists their exploits. In the middle there is a box of cognac - a prize to the winner. Gali's turn comes. Rises: "I also want to say!"

- What are Georgians?

Looking at each other - well, a sassy woman. What does she have to do with Georgia? And Galya continues: "Our family has done more for Georgia than all of you put together. When Dinamo Tbilisi became the champion for the first time, my husband scored in his own goal in the main match!" - "A-la-la!" They drank this box right there. Will not carry home.

- Stop. There were no own goals in the famous 1964 championship replay.

There was no, she made it all up. Played along with the mood! Although once he really scored in his own, and in Tbilisi. Goalkeeper Glukhotko went to intercept, and I got ahead of him. I drove into the top nine.

- Is the story of your acquaintance with Leonid Markov also a reality?

With Lenya? Yes! A heavy man. But the artist is great. I just met Galya and started dating. We looked into the WTO restaurant on Gorky Street. We look - Leonid is sitting, giving in. Jackdaw presents: "This is Nikolai, my husband." He, slightly turning: "The sixth, or what?" We went to our table, I keep thinking - is he really a fan? How does he know that I'm playing under the sixth?

- And in fact, what kind of husband?

I am second to her. The first was the art restorer Sergei Bogoslovsky. Galya is also my second wife.

Bobrov's widow told me that you were married to a motorcycle racer Tamara. She went to the grocery store and took three-day-old chickens. If five days is over, Kolya can't do that.

Oh well, Lenka came up with it! Although she was familiar with Tamara. Indeed, caring. But what kind of "motorcycle racer" ?! Where is it from? She was considered a talented skater. When they began to live, I forgot about sports.

- Older than you?

Pretty decent, about eight years.

- Dispersed easily?

Very much like ships. No offense. There were no children. It all happened because of her. I didn't play anymore. One day I return home, some kind of bloke is sitting. Meet, he says.

- That's the news.

Brought a man! He was associated with Israel, felt the prospect. I switched to him.

- And you?

He opened the closet, took his overcoat and left the house. Everything.

- Why didn't they throw him down the stairs?

What's the point? I was even delighted! The age difference has already begun to show. I found myself - and thank God. True, it did not work out for them.

- Is Tamara alive?

She died a long time ago.

- Did you take Galina out of the family too?

No, they have not yet divorced Sergey, but they have not lived anymore. Disorder happened. I moved to Gala's room.

- Does he still play at the Mossovet Theater?

There are three performances left. It was five. When Sasha Lenkov died, "I, Grandma, Iliko and Illarion" was removed from the repertoire. And with the departure of Taratorkin, "The Silver Age" was filmed. They decided not to introduce new actors. But three performances are also a load, be healthy!

- The best one that you saw with your own eyes?

- "Further - silence". Awesome! With Plyatt and Ranevskaya. In the final scene, the audience sobbed. Jackdaw took part in this performance, played the editor. After we met, I became a frequent visitor to the Mossovet theater. What performances were there! I found Lyubov Orlova, Maretskaya, Zhzhenov, Markov ... Even in party performances they were bullied on stage. As I hear Ranevskaya's intonation now, I played the speculator, kept repeating: "Shaw you grill?" Once he sat down in the first row, and Galka came out of the hall onto the stage. I don't know, I got up to give her a seat. The actors were killed.

- Did you talk to Plyatt, Ranevskaya?

Did not work out. We were friends with Zhzhenov.

- The most amazing meeting?

The Mossovet Theater toured Georgia, and Anatoly Tarasov, who headed the football CSKA, sent me to Tbilisi to watch the player. I met Slava Metreveli there, he was already the director of the restaurant.

- Dumplings.

What kind of dumplings? A real restaurant! What did Slavka understand in trade? But once appointed, then appointed. The assistants took the rap for him. And then there was a complaint about Metreveli - there was no toilet paper in the restaurant. A whole commission was sent to investigate. He tells me: "They summon the authorities. I go, I shake. I think they will be removed to the devil now ..."

- Not removed?

The boss hugs: "Listen, this idiot wrote that there is no paper. But don't worry. We took him off his job, and you work calmly."

- Perfectly.

Slava arranges a banquet - for a happy ending of the case. Treats the entire commission. He asks me: "Since the theater is here, call the artists." I go to Iya Savvina: "Our friend invites you to have a bite" - "Who will be?" - "Galya and I, Zhzhenov ..." - "Zhzhenov? I won't go!" She never came. Well there is no way. And Zhzhenov showed up. I will remember this banquet for a long time.

- Did the scandal happen?

In Moscow, a little, and in Georgia, they began to restore the name of Stalin more strongly. At the head of the table sits Metreveli, next to his neighbor in the stairwell, the general. Supervises counterintelligence of the Transcaucasian Military District. That one also had inspectors. Then we sat down, both commissions. Someone rises - wanted to sweeten the locals: "Let's raise our glasses to Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin!" Zhzhenov defiantly puts down his glass: "I won't drink for this person."

- What is it.

Everyone looks at each other - and Zhzhenov continues: "By the grace of Stalin, I spent 20 years in the camps." And they put him in jail for a trifle! Came from rehearsal, the apartment is sealed. Tore off the seal. This was enough to sit down. I quietly clarify something, Zhzhenov replies: "Better ask, with what wording I was released in 20 years. For" insufficient evidence ", can you imagine ?!"

Defibrillator

- In March you turned 80. Have you celebrated here, at the dacha?

Yes. Our veterans came from CSKA. Who remained alive - Olshansky, Dulyk, Korobochka, Shvetsov, Valera Novikov ... Olya Ostroumova was there, she often comes in.

- Gaft's wife?

Also our neighbor in the village. Valya himself could not, he is weak. Although he also lives in the country. Feels worse than me. Where does it come from to play? Inexplicable! Transforms on stage!

- Many are surprised by this.

My Galya and Olya are friends in misfortune. Share who suffers how. But I'm a walker. You see, the wife has set railings everywhere. So I'm climbing.

- How long have you had a heart attack?

The first was in 2004, followed by another. The third was about four years ago. With cardiac arrest!

- Here?

No, in a Moscow apartment. I live on Bolshaya Spasskaya, near Sklif. The wife called an ambulance, the doctors measured the pressure. They see - it's a bad thing. They wrote the phone: "Call, this Ambulance from the Sklifosovsky Institute. "From there they immediately rushed in, rolled up their sleeves, did a direct heart massage. They broke their ribs. But came to life!

- Have you completely passed out?

Yes. Felt nothing.

- Overwhelmed?

But you won't understand! He was going somewhere, bent down to lace up. I heard the sound: "Tr-rr ..." Apparently, the esophagus has torn. Pressure came from the stomach to the heart. The devil knows - what is it from? Suddenly! Before that was the case, he lost consciousness in CSKA. I stopped by on veteran affairs. Okay, my implanted defibrillator worked for me. Before and did not know how it turns on. The first time happened - I was so scared!

- How does it work?

I sit, everything seems to be fine. Suddenly, the discharge ka-a-k will give, yo! The device itself felt that the heart began to stop. Finely tuned. And I didn’t understand that there was something wrong. They also did bypass surgery. There was a rich man, a Lokomotiv fan. Allocated the amount - about fifteen veterans of the USSR national team were registered in the Mossovetovskaya polyclinic on Solyanka. I came to the cardiologist, who convinced him that he needed to be operated on. In the hospital, these operations are baked like pies. On the fourth day, people go home! Joyful! I waved my hand: "Come on." He did it in time - soon the sponsor stopped allocating money, the veterans were unhooked. And now in the clinic on Rublevka they are watching me. Every month I call a car - they take me away.

- When was the last time you went to football?

For a long time! Comrade all beckons to the new CSKA stadium: "Come with us, the box is bought out." And I'm afraid, to be honest, the scoreboard.

- Scoreboard?

There is strong radiation from him. Who knows how a defibrillator will work? I am forbidden to pass through a metal detector, for example.

- What did your friends give for your 80th birthday?

Yes, it is not customary for us to give gifts. Usually we collect money in an envelope. The one who helps the veterans a lot is Alik Tokhtakhunov. Once they took him to CSKA with Berador Abduraimov, who very much asked for Alik. He was numbered as an assistant administrator, but, of course, was on his free bread.

- Did you manage to "undress" the citizens on the cards on the trains?

They did not "bomb" the trains, but at the airport. You can see from the person where he is from, with what money. People from the North arrived at Domodedovo, oilmen, gold miners ... Near the taxi they somehow got involved in the game. There was a case: Alik returned at night to the base in Arkhangelskoye. In order not to wake anyone, he lay down right on the billiard table, covered himself with an overcoat. In the morning Bobrov and I went to pick up the team for exercise, stumbled upon a sleeping Alik. Mikhalych was sad: "Kohl, give him 25 rubles. It's hard for the guy, he only eats with the team at the training camp ..." And Alik had big thousands in his pocket. Someone was "met" at night.

- A wonderful story.

Alik to me with great respect - only "Alekseich" calls. Helps Lena Bobrova, Shesterneva spends all anniversaries on her own money. He remembers how he was a soldier!

Quasimodo

- Why didn't Bobrov succeed as a coach at CSKA?

He could not do anything about CSKA. When he took over the team in 1967, it was generally a very difficult period. Even with the form of the problem, Mikhalych got it through his acquaintances. And strange things happened to the players. Skidding!

- What is it like?

Everything, the guy is called. Already plays for SKA. It doesn't matter, Rostov, Khabarovsk, Odessa. It would seem that it is easier to transfer to CSKA? No!

- Why?

All the commanders of the districts are shaking for their own people, they are not allowed to go to Moscow. And ours could insist, but they are afraid. What if tomorrow this district commander will be appointed minister of defense? It is not yet known how everything will turn out! In these SKA they became insolent, they asked again: "You want our player. Will he definitely be in the first squad?" We could no longer stand it, the three of us went to the Minister Grechko - Bobrov, Shesternev and me. They just could not transfer Leonid Shmuts, Ronaldo ...

- Ronaldo?

Romahualdas Yushku! Someone else. Five people. Grechko frowned: "Who have you entrusted the lists to? Our clickers? Come on here!" Put it on the table immediately.

- Result?

The next day we were already in the team! Every single one!

- Oh yes minister.

So I drove around the train stations all week, met trains. Through the conductors, the documents were sent to these players.

- There was no new Shesternev in CSKA.

Alik is outstanding ... He ran like an elk, he always backs up. He's a former athlete. I don't know who is stronger than the central defender. True, I did not see the generation of the CDKA, I did not get to the stadium. And there was Tolya Bashashkin, also a legendary person. He even went into the proverb: "Will you be Bashashkin?" In the sense - the third in giving.

- Shmutz was considered the goalkeeper of the national team. As he threw into his own goal against “Ararat” - he broke down.

I remember this goal. He took the ball and wanted to throw it to the defender. That was either blocked, or Lenya changed his mind at the last moment. Like a woman, yo! He thinks one thing, but rises from the chair - something completely different on his mind. The ball falls from the hand - and into the goal. Soon Astapovsky came to CSKA, and Shmutz sat down on the bench. Now no one knows where he is. He went to his Ukraine, probably.

- The best goalkeeper in your memory?

Yashin. No one is close.

- Who's behind him?

Maslachenko and Volodya Belyaev. Great goalkeepers, but can you lean out from under Yashin? Maslachenko almost finished football in my presence. The national team plays with Costa Rica, Volodka rushes to his feet after the ball. The attacker hits from a speck - in the jaw!

- Poor fellow.

Volodka was carried away. After he said: "I only remember you, Kol. You disperse everyone." It's true, I stood over him and pushed him away: "Disperse, give air!" At these words, he passed out. Maslachenko to the hospital, the team went to South America without him. You can't cancel the tour. Then I met him at the airport. Did not recognize!

- Even so?

Quasimodo!

- Nightmare.

So that the jaw did not fall, they pushed a bandage into his mouth about ten meters. One eye is higher, the other moved out. The cheek was swollen. I was afraid that I would not get better - but nothing, it has grown together ... What was Maslachenko good for?

- How?

They put balls on the line of the penalty area and beat them one by one. No one could jump up so cleverly. How the hell! The impression that the body is pushing off the ground is springy.

Tarasov

Astapovsky at CSKA on the eve of the arrival of Tarasov was on the list for expulsion. And a year later he became the best football player in the USSR. How is this possible?

I have no idea. There were a lot of cool goalkeepers. Well, they would send Ostap - there is Shmutz. Behind him is Leva Kudasov, also an excellent keeper. This is only in CSKA! So they did not value anyone. In addition, our coaches changed one after another. Appoint a new one - clears everything: "I don't need these players ..."

- So the turn came to Tarasov. With him, CSKA almost jumped out of the Major League.

Once I got to him for training - grabbed his head. The next day is the game, and he makes the player drag his partner on his back from the gate to the central circle. Then they change. Could still give the lower one a pancake from the bar in his hands. Who loads it like that before the match ?! Muscles are clogged! You can't stop the ball, it bounces off you like a piece of wood.

- With him, the players ran to the wall from acceleration.

It was. Educational moment! Checked whether you were a coward or not. I drew a line on the wall: "Whoever gets there is a hero." This means that you can go on reconnaissance. He drove him into a tree to jump from a height.

- Did you decide everything?

Where are you going to go? I looked from below and thought - thank God, I finished playing a long time ago, otherwise I would have jumped too now. Or the guy was brought to CSKA - healthy, rosy-cheeked. Anatoly Vladimirovich was delighted with the strong man. He was so loaded that he was written off with a heart defect. Finished with football.

- No one dared to argue?

What do you! It could get expensive! There was a story in hockey CSKA. They played in Leningrad, they are returning with the Red Arrow. The train leaves at midnight, the second coach Kulagin walked around the car and checked. Everyone is in place, going to bed. As soon as the door to Tarasov's compartment was closed, the giveaway began.

- Who would be surprised.

And the next day, Taras puts a report on the table - so that Mishakov's title "Honored Master of Sports" was removed. That's why the authorities could not stand Tarasov, so for this line: he will appear before everyone else, at eight o'clock. Report on the table to the head of CSKA will throw - "to do this and that. If not, I report to the minister."

- What's wrong with Mishakov?

And nobody knows. The report is lying. I met Zhenya himself: "What's the matter?" - "How could I know that at 3 am Taras will do it?"

- God.

At night it was an impulse to walk along the carriage. Pulls the toilet door - and there is a drunken Mishakov. Taras played a naughty, opens every compartment in a row. Everyone is walking, the team is drunk!

- Only Kulagin is sleeping?

Yeah. Interesting case?

- Peerless.

And so it would have passed and passed if Tarasov had not gone to the toilet. We would have drunk and fell asleep. As if for the first time ... This is the difference from football: in hockey, you do not need to regimen, follow a diet. The more weight the better for riding. Not to mention the game of the corps.

- Have Mishakov returned the title?

Of course. They won constantly.

- Did the footballers laugh at Tarasov?

Here we play with the Hungarians, they are rude. With Tarasov, this does not work - he beckons Kaplichny, loudly: "Comrade Captain! Get them wet all over the field! Colonel Tarasov is responsible for the red cards!" Is there a laugh or a cry?

The appeal

- You were in charge of the selection at CSKA?

Y. Anatoly Vladimirovich wanted to call Yuri Chesnokov from Lokomotiv into the army. He instructs me: "Go to the city military registration and enlistment office, help them. So that there are no surprises."

- Could there be "surprises"?

What more! Such a fuss came out with Konkov! Operation "interception" was staged at the airport. So he broke free, began to beat the glass with his head. Some Japanese filmed everything. After that, Colonel Nerushenko, who was in charge of the draft, was immediately dismissed by Minister Grechko without a pension. Tom was told - massive heart attack, instant death.

- Horrible.

It was necessary to work more quietly with Chesnokov. The national team is about to fly in from Indonesia, he is in the lineup. By the way, it was headed by Nikolaev, CSKA coach. He would have to talk to Yura about joining the team, but no - they hang on me.

- How was it?

We learned a lesson - you shouldn't take it at the airport. Let's move away. As soon as it dives into the bus, it starts - we block it from all sides. We go in, hand over the agenda. I told the general: "He may not get on a shared bus. Often cars are sent from the club." The general thought: "Okay, we'll meet you near the house. We'll surround you from above and below so that you don't run away."

“It's a flawless plan.

No. Chesnokov could be sent to Khost immediately, there is a base for Lokomotiv. We decided to send a patrol there too, to block the entrances. He says to me: "And you, comrade lieutenant colonel, go personally to the airport, help the military commander. So that your football player is not taken out through the restaurant. Or the window."

- So romantic.

All windows were checked. Our people are everywhere. The commandant says: "We are standing together at the gangplank. Your task is to point out what is needed, nothing else. Then we ourselves." The guys are going down, they spotted me instantly. They are talking: "Wow, Manoshin is in uniform. For someone ..."

- Chesnokov did not rush back to the plane?

No. For some reason they decided, I pass Valera Zenkov from “Spartak”. It started: "We've come for Zenkov!" I pointed to Chesnokov, and to Nikolaev. All the same, we go past the "general's" house on Sokol, where Nikolaev lives. I'll abandon it along the way. Here the commandant rushes to me, covered in sweat! "Lost Chesnokov!"

- The minister will fire everyone.

I looked around: “He’s over there, getting on the Lokomotiv bus. It turns out that they flew to Indonesia from the same airport, left their winter clothes in the locker. he came out of the airport in a sheepskin coat and a hat.

- What is the commandant?

I ran after the bus. And Nikolayev and I drove off. I looked, at the very exit to Leningradka, the Lokomotiv bus was held in ticks. I just went home - a call from Tarasov: "Kolya, how?" - "Anatoly Vladimirovich, everything is fine. We met, handed a summons ..." - "Why didn't you bring him to the barracks?" - "I'm not calling them!" Tarasov shouted: "If Chesnokov does not come to training tomorrow, we will not work with you!" I hung up. He was a rude guy.

- Has Chesnokov appeared?

At 11-00. Everything worked out.

- Olshansky all his life was angry at Tarasov for the call, he looked straight and did not greet. And on you?

On me - no. Although I could. Nikonov is more offended at me. Why should Olshansky be offended? Became a colonel, good pension! Who else from the veterans is so arranged?

- You called Olshansky at the age of 27?

How can I tell you what happened. Decide for yourself whether I am to blame or not. Tarasov consulted with me on football players. I reported: "Anatoly Vladimirovich, to strengthen the team, we can take Olshansky from Spartak and Nikonov from Torpedo. This is the last draft year. If not now, everyone will float away."

- Tarasov was delighted?

I inserted the names into the directive of the general staff for the draft. But instead of CSKA he sent Nikonov to serve in Chebarkul, and Olshansky to the Far East, the Pacific Fleet!

- Incredible. Didn't he need them as footballers?

Who knows? There, and that's it! The main thing is to weaken the enemy team. Apparently, so reasoned. Although Olshansky was the captain of the national team. Fortunately, Seryoga, as a football player, did not disappear, they were allowed to play for the fleet. Then they were transported to Khabarovsk. And Nikonov served in Chebarkul for real.

- Sadly.

On next year Tarasov was removed, I was appointed head of the team. At a reception with the Minister of Defense, I tell him that Olshansky is serving there, and Nikonov is there. Both will help the core CSKA squad. The directive flew - the guys were transferred to Moscow. I also wanted to get Tarkhanov.

- Is it easier with him?

Much more difficult!

- Why would you?

Somewhere at the training camp, the head of the Khabarovsk SKA approached: “Kohl, there is a cool guy in Krasnoyarsk.

- Has Nikonov faded in Chebarkul?

Unfortunately. Heavy, gained weight. Absolutely not the player from whom everyone went crazy in the “Torpedo”. He also let me down.

- How?

An army base in Kudepsta, a youth center down by the sea. Bobrov arrives with a friend, correspondent Volodya Pakhomov from "Vecherka". And two, Olshansky and Nikonov, disappear that very night! We met friends, went on a spree. Of course, you have to punish. I also punished!

- Severely?

Withdrew from the first category - transferred to the third. This is 130 rubles. At first, I wanted to kick them out altogether. Following the results of the training camp, he reported to the Minister of Defense - he offered to expel and write to the families what they were doing. He restrained me: "Don't."

- Have you lost 30 rubles? Nonsense.

But Nikonov remained at CSKA for the time being, so he received 130. Although he could no longer pull, he could not get rid of the weight. He is not a strong-willed person. He would have to take care of himself, podrezhim, adjust food, run an extra cross ... No! I thought it was not necessary. Returned to "Torpedo" - also did not play. Olshansky is more disciplined and conscientious. Therefore, I went to the colonel.

Stromberger

Aleksandr Petrashevskiy, a breeder of Dynamo Kiev, told us how he came to a village for Vasya Rat. So the men with stakes and pitchforks went to his "Volga", barely had time to turn around. Are you in danger?

I have never heard any threats. But when he called for Gena Stromberger from Almaty, all flights to Moscow were canceled. So as not to take away.

“Are you sure it’s because of you?”

No doubt! It was under Kunaev. It has its own power, not entirely Soviet. They hoped for Gena, they gave him an apartment. But I slyly arranged ...

- How's that?

I bought two tickets in advance, and they used them to figure out when I was supposed to leave. We looked: aha, then, in the name of Manoshin and Trakhtenberg.

- Stromberger.

Ugh, Stromberger. And we arrived at the airport early. There was a landing on a Moscow flight, which was delayed for two days. Then they suddenly release!

- And there were tickets?

There were just enough seats for such a plane - someone did not wait, returned the ticket. I hold out ours: "Will you take it?" - "No problem". I didn't even have to pay extra.

- Is Stromberger that rare person who dreamed of getting into CSKA?

Yes. I wrote a statement, I came to Alma-Ata with an order from the Minister of Defense to award him the rank of lieutenant. The most important thing was in my pocket. Usually the locals saw such a paper - they immediately raised their hands up, they did not ask questions.

- Someone took offensely?

Andreev from Rostov. There was already an order for him, Serega was transported to Moscow. Galya and I took turns trying to persuade - there is no strictness in CSKA, the capital is here, the best theaters, everything is allowed ... He was afraid of discipline - a terrible thing: "I know you are tough with this." But they took me to some kind of performance, and that's all, they convinced me. Ready! Melted: "Is it really so democratic?" My wife and I vied with each other: "Of course!"

- Why didn't it work out?

I came to the reception of the head of CSKA. He's waiting. And then one of our m ... ran into him and kind of joked: "What is this ?! Why not a haircut? He wanted to go to the guardhouse?" Andreev turned and left, they didn't see him again at CSKA.

- Couldn't you keep it by force?

No. In addition, the mother-in-law wrote letters to the Central Committee. A little earlier, another crossing fell through. They pity me.

- Tell me.

Forward, played with Stromberger in "Kairat". Together we had to go.

- Pahlavanidi?

Exactly! Eustathius first wanted to go to Moscow, then changed his mind. I fly in, go to his family. We lived somewhere near Chimkent, my dad is cultured, at one time he played as a full-back in “Dinamo” Tbilisi. They met me wonderfully, they didn't even let me go to the hotel. He lived with them. The father asked: "Nikolai, are there any options how to avoid the army?" I explained. Do you know which one you were hooked on?

- For what?

For the idea with two children.

- It's not so easy to be in time.

Eustathia was immediately found by an aunt with two boys, and a fake marriage was formalized. That's it, the question is closed. There was great resistance in Lithuania as well. I took Ivanauskas from there. If they really wanted to, I would not have succeeded. There, too, he immediately poked his attention to his parents, they answer: "We have no idea where he is. He does not appear at home."

- Where to look?

I tell my parents - I'm in the hotel so and so. Let him come, let's talk. The coach of CSKA was Yuri Morozov, Ivanauskas played in his youth team.

- Appeared?

First the father came. Following, I look, Valdas weaves. He began to draw up it, everywhere they look at me with malice. In the military registration and enlistment office they turn to him: "What do you want to join the army?" - "Yes!" And say no - and no one would have let him go. At the recruiting station, everything will be repeated. It seems to the Lithuanians that I take them away by force. Ivanauskas repeats: "No, I want it myself."

- You delivered him to CSKA. Why did Morozov put on an overcoat on the guy and sent him to guard the gate?

I think he annoyed him with his Lithuanian stubbornness. But I also felt guilty. Once he called, it means he was responsible for it. Ivanauskas was offended at me, to be sure. And you can't discuss these topics with Morozov, difficult person... Here's an example. Sitting on a bench with him, CSKA in Moscow plays with “Kairat”. Stromberger is already ours. Loses the ball, does not run after him, the Kazakhs attack, hit by. Morozov in a rage changes it - a minute before the break! I ask: "Yura, why?" - "Why didn't he roll back ?!"

- Check?

Lead 1: 0. We went to the second half - "Kairat" crushed us. They were afraid of Stromberger, they respected him. Their former leader. And how they removed it - a great relief for "Kairat". They just came to life. We lost that match ... It was a shame with Vasya Shvetsov.

- What about him?

They took me from Minsk to CSKA, served, was going to return home. Then a girl comes to me: "I love Vasily, we are meeting. But she does not want to marry." I shrugged my shoulders: "Okay, I'll ceiling."

- This is the mission.

I went up to him: "Vasya, it's ugly. If you are dating, what are you?" - "Alekseich, everything will be fine!" I was in Minsk, the local bosses welcomed me warmly. They took me to a play, to the Museum of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and paid attention. They say: "You really don't keep our Vasya at home by force, he wants to return to Minsk ..." - "No one is going to keep him!" And then the embarrassment.

- What is it?

Returning to Moscow, I find out that Shvetsov was hanged on the shoulder straps of the lieutenant. Bubukin himself wrote a report for him to the Minister of Defense with a request to continue serving in the ranks of the Armed Forces.

- Himself signed for Vasya with his left hand?

Yes. I've done everything!

- Dexterity. So what?

And what? The guy stayed at CSKA.

- Was this a trick often used?

Yes you! Who would dare to do this? Some time later I meet the Minsk leaders. They shake their heads: "Nikolai, your happiness - they were looking for it and did not find it. They would have nailed it."

- Was it difficult to find?

I went to Africa to train.

- Did you have to get the players out of the police?

No. There was a story with hockey player Ragulin. He coached the Novosibirsk SKA. Once I went to Moscow for a few days - and through the ground. He does not appear in CSKA, does not spend the night at home. Telegrams fly from Novosibirsk: "Where did Ragulin disappear?" His ex-wife, actress Lyudmila Karaush, also complained about him. They couldn't share the car. They instructed me, the secretary of the CSKA Party organization, to find Ragulin. I went to hot places.

- What is it?

To Serebryany Bor, for example. There was a place for the hockey players to feed. But he had not looked there for a long time. I also drove a couple of points - by. I had to contact the police. Finally Ragulin himself called me back. I say: "Sasha, you can't do that. You are an officer ..." And he went on a spree. Another time Mishka Voronin threw out the number.

- Son of Valery?

Yes. First he served in Gorky, then he was added to the Smolensk Iskra. A month before demobilization was given leave. And he rushed to Ukraine. I played for some kind of team, hit a penny. I hung out for half a year. I did not understand that he was walking on the edge. If they stop, they check the documents - that's it, they'll arrest you! Deserter!

- How did it end?

His mother, Valentina, came in tears: "Kolya, help me. My son is on the run, they have imposed subpoenas." He explained: "You need to go to Gorky, to the place of conscription, put a mark that you have served and resign from the army." It seems nothing complicated, but it turned out like with Andreev. While he was standing at the checkpoint, the officer walked past. His eyes flashed: "What kind of hairy man? It is necessary to put such people in the guardhouse!" Misha got scared, ran away, called in a panic. I barely convinced me to return.

- Voronin Jr. died early.

At 48 years old. In recent years, he worked as a massage therapist in a bathhouse. Not regime, to put it mildly. So the heart could not stand it.

Metreveli

- Bubukin opened a new side for us. Based on the story with Shvetsov.

Yes Valka is a wonderful man! Galya and I came to the hospital to visit him for the last time. Bubuka already knew that the end was near. Cancer does not understand. I didn't talk about myself like that! You have no idea what worried him!

- What?

How to register veterans in a hospital through the government so that they can be treated free of charge. He passed all the papers to the Administrative Department: "This player is not arranged for me, and this one ..." He himself was kept in life only by the fact that he trained the government team. They paid 100 thousand for one injection for Valentine. Wonderful person. And how he begins to tell!

- We are aware of this.

This could close up! They knock on his door in the middle of winter: "Master, do you need firewood?" - "No, they are not needed." Then it comes out - oops, no firewood. Dragged away. I kept asking: "Valka, how do you remember so many anecdotes?" - "And the method is very simple. I heard a new one - I immediately caught one, the second, the third. I retold it - and I remembered it myself."

An episode about Yuri Morozov was read in his book. If someone played badly, it would begin: "That's it, we will withdraw from the bet! Manoshin, file a report!" You will make a report, but under the shelter. Because very soon the same footballer will play great, and Yuri Andreevich will exclaim: "Manoshin, return everything to him! Make out!"

Here is Valka confused!

- What's wrong?

This is not with Morozov, but with Tarasov. There the story repeated itself: "Take off the bet!" The answer is: "Yes, yes, I'll do it now." But I'll keep the report. I know for sure - soon Tarasov will take pity: "Okay, let's put it back." There is a saying in the army: when receiving an order, do not rush to fulfill it. It will be followed by a new one - the canceling one. And Valka is a humorist, that you listen to him. Metreveli in the national team followed him as if tied, did not come off. Bubuka says something - this one laughs. So funny! Mischievous! Arakelovich, tree-sticks ...

- Actually - Kalistratovich

What's the difference…

Someone told us: Metreveli is the only person who, at a conscious age, managed to develop speed.

This is unrealistic! Although once standards were introduced. So Slavka put us all to bed. We took into account who how many times on horseback would get into the small gate, pull himself up, jump in height.

- How long did you have to pull up?

The minimum is 12 times.

- Did you succeed?

For me, six is ​​the limit. And in height Metreveli figured out everything. 175!

- Many?

Yes, this is a professional leap. With his little sprout. We had no idea that Slavka is so jumpy. I opened the way for him to play football. The national team was playing somewhere, there was a pause in the championship. “Torpedo” went to a friendly match in Gorky. It was there that I saw Metreveli for the first time. I am a left midfielder, he is a right insider. We keep each other. They played on the "double-ve" system, with personal supervision.

- Did you manage?

Canopy, I jump and don't reach. And Slavka closes behind the back, a goal! And the whole match was surprising, jerk after jerk. I pointed out to Beskov at Metreveli, and he himself was already peering: what kind of guy? I immediately took him to Moscow, but nowhere to live. There is not even a hostel.

- How to be?

Beskov put him in his apartment on Mayakovka! Then they made a hostel for all the newcomers. Ostrovsky came, Purtskhvanidze ... These will start, there is not enough booze - they are shoving money into Slavka to run away. Brought a bottle.

- Did you run?

Take the money. He is simple-minded. Returns - instead of vodka bought pants. But such a humble guy!

- I lived in Georgia like a king.

I rode with him once. Glory was given honor at every post. And he sees, the policeman stopped the taxi driver, scolds. Metreveli stops, comes out: "What's the matter?" - "Well, he violated ..." - "Give him back his rights!" The traffic cop returns without saying a word.

Everyone adored glory in Georgia! - joined our conversation Galina Samuilovna... - It was impossible to walk calmly down the street with him. But he did not boast of popularity, no fanaticism. Wonderful guy.

- And Meskhi?

Too. Mischievous! - Nikolai Alekseevich laughed. - I remember the national team is training in Tbilisi. Fans are walking along the field, saying something to Misha. A second later, he bounces at me, holds a reception, tries to fill up. I wanted to show how strong and brave. We are in different weight categories, plus I am fifteen centimeters taller. I can imagine how comical it looked. I can tell many stories about Misha.

- So tell me.

Tbilisi. Friendly match. I looked - the tribune opposite was jam-packed. And during the break it becomes empty, thousands of people run over to our side. What's happening? They explain to me: "Misha Meskhi will now play on this flank!" Or 1961. The South American tour began with a match against Argentina. Which lost at home. Nobody took us seriously, they thought that savages had arrived, and now we are throwing a full string bag. The day before, in an interview, they described how the Russians would be torn apart. Sanfilippo, the national team's top scorer, said Argentina will win 4-1. Simeone, the right-back, has his own prediction: "What are the 4: 1? Yes, we will not miss it at all!"

- Was it not so?

We won - 2: 1. This Simeone Misha drove the whole game! Made a clown out of him! From the feints of Meskhi, the people were lost. Especially when he threw the ball on one side, and ran around the opponent on the other. The next morning, local newspapers wrote that River Plate was giving a million dollars for Yashin, and 500 thousand for Meskhi and Metreveli.

- Solid.

For those times - exorbitant money. Misha bought all the newspapers, brought them to Georgia, and handed them out to friends. Well, he hummed for joy. Further fees, but no Meskhi. Rasprayed completely. Andrey Petrovich Starostin is furious: “Misha, you are a pest! - "In two weeks". I did not deceive.

- Have you visited Meskhi?

Yes, he lived in a beautiful house not far from the Dynamo base. On the veranda, a spring gushed from the wall, Misha kept bottles there. When they gave him the Volga, I bought door locks abroad. It seems from Ford. But they approached the Volga and presented it to Misha. He was happy.

- You mentioned Ostrovsky. About which Vladimir Ponomarev said: "Hooligan, podlatnenny".

What are you doing! Normal guy. He grew up in Riga, was brought up in European traditions. Because of this, the team either teased the Germans or joked that they dug trenches during the occupation of the Nazis.

- Offended?

Laughed the loudest ...

Alloy

Let's debunk the myths. Viktor Monday told us: “In the USSR, the match with Uruguay at the 1962 World Cup was remembered in connection with Netto's gentlemanly act. rights of the captain approached him and explained that there was no goal. I read a lot about that episode, including in the book of Netto, but, God forbid, I didn’t stick to my memory. "

And I could not postpone! There was no such thing in that game! Everything happened in the Union, in some kind of international match. Igor acted nobly, there are no questions. But why they decided to link this with the World Cup in Chile remained a mystery.

- What prevented Voronin from leaving Torpedo? I trained for two months at Dynamo Moscow and returned.

I don’t know the details. By that time, I was no longer in the "Torpedo". Valerka would definitely not have left for CSKA. Disliked this club. Spoke: " Better hand I’ll cut it off, than go to CSKA! ”But the attitude to Moscow“ Dynamo ”is different. I think, because of Beskov, with whom his father was friends, they served in the army together. Yes, and Geshka Gusarov in 1963 had already moved to“ Dynamo ”.

- How did the torpedo "old men" fuse Beskov in 1956?

He began to abruptly introduce young people into the composition - Metreveli, Voronin, Medakin, Ostrovsky, me. The veterans didn't like it. The details surfaced when Valya Emyshev came to us from CSKA. He told me how he played against “Torpedo” and heard from our defender Lev Tarasov: “Come on, Val, go along the edge, shoot, we are rafting Beskov.” And at the end of that season, at a meeting with the leadership, the “old men” openly fought against Konstantin Ivanovich.

- What did they say?

Alik Denisenko, the goalkeeper, was getting excited: "Beskov said, they say, do you need a pole to get the ball at the top? Why does he humiliate me ?!" Others also complained. The main thing is that they pulled Ivanov and Streltsov over to their side. Those are already in authority. Edik was terribly annoyed by Beskov's long analyzes and installations. Once, in the midst of a theoretical lesson, I jumped up: "I don't need this!" He slammed the door.

- Konstantin Ivanovich endured?

Well, what could he have done? Beskov, before whom everyone was in awe, became later. And then he was 35. He had just finished playing, worked as an assistant to Kachalin and took the "Torpedo". He immediately invited Medakin and me. He noticed us in the youth team. Do you know what is the most interesting?

- What?

In "Torpedo" I was not torn. So Beskov sent Medakina to me. Sasha walked on his heels, persuaded. And everything suited me at FSM. The senior coach there was Viktor Maslov, who gave me a scholarship.

- Good?

80 rubles! My father, who had worked at a meat-packing plant all his life, received 110. In the end, Beskov said: "Kolya, forget about FShM, don't come back there. Don't worry about money, I will compensate."

- Did you keep your word?

Yes. I, a sucker, gave the rate of the first category! 160 rubles! And Maslov was offended. I thought I had betrayed him.

- When, after Beskov, he headed Torpedo, did it come back to haunt?

Of course. I felt a chill, treated differently from the FSM. At first, under Maslov, they were released exclusively for a double. Although he played great, people went to see me! Zhenya Kravinsky, a popular entertainer, specially brought Georgy Menglet to our matches.

- He was rooting for CSKA.

Quite right. Kravinsky told me: "After the failure of the national team at the 1958 World Cup, Menglet was completely depressed. I offered to go to the" Torpedo "double match. Let's go, I say, I'll show our future star - Kolya Manoshin.

- Sounds like a toast!

Thanks to the fans, a turning point in relations with Maslov happened. After the next match the double surrounded the torpedo bus and began to swing it. So much so that they almost turned it over! They rustled: "Maslov, when will you start to stage Manoshin ?!"

- And he?

I was stunned. He uttered a strange phrase: "Kolya, you would play. If I believed in you at least 37 percent ..." And I didn’t miss the chance.

- Who was considered his favorite?

Medakin. He reminded Maslov of his son, who was hit to death by a car. Also Sashka, blond. Viktor Alexandrovich treated Medakin with such warmth that he dismissed it. He began to give in, to bully. For which he received the nickname Blond Beast in the team.

- And Lev Tarasov - Hans.

Right. Why - not in the know, before me it happened. Beskov took Medakin to the position of right-back just to replace Tarasov. Oh, and poor Sashka suffered at first! Then, playing hockey in training, Hans slashed the kneecap with his hockey stick. Then with the "grandfathers" on the collection pushed into the sewer hatch.

- Cruel Hans.

Sashka is sassy, ​​cheeky, that's more than others from the "old men" and got it. They also loved to throw off their hats into the stairwell, when at the training camp you go up to the room after the hardest cross on the asphalt. My legs hurt, my muscles are clogged so that you can't sit on the push. Hurry to crawl to the bed, and instead go up and down the stairs, up and down.

- Hans, Blond beast ... Were there any funny nicknames in Torpedo?

Kolya is not that leg.

There was such a Kolya Afanasyev, the defender of the double. In a two-sided field on a damp field, it is demolished in a tackle. I get up with difficulty, dust myself off. He bends over his ear: "Kolyunya, I'm sorry. I have you with the wrong foot ..."

- Not out of spite?

Yes, that's understandable. Snag! So it stuck: Kolya is not that leg. There was also a joke with him in Indonesia, where “Torpedo” held friendly matches. Sits in reserve, in the middle of the second half Maslov says: "Kolya, come on as a substitute." And there is no pause in the game, Afanasyev is toiling on the edge. Suddenly the ball flies in his direction. He tries to stop, but he slips under his foot. Maslov shakes his head: "Perhaps, don't come out." He sits back on the bench.

Tears

- Your "Torpedo" of the 60s is remembered to this day. The most magical match of that team?

In Kiev. They won 2: 1 and guaranteed themselves gold medals a round before the finish. When Gusarov was scoring the second, I started an assist attack. A line from Lev Filatov's report was engraved in my memory: "Manoshin playfully, in the Brazilian style, walked around three Kievites ..." He even slipped away from Sabo, who threw himself at my feet, tore his gaiters with thorns. And in the match with Moscow “Dynamo” I generally carried the ball on my head almost across the entire field.

- Come on.

Seriously! In my own half I caught it on my head and forward. Chekanya, got to the penalty area, threw on his leg, hung, and Oleg Sergeev closed.

- How did Dynamo allow such a trick to be done?

Well ... We ran alongside. Waited, probably, when I will drop it, yo! And my technique is in order. I remember another case. They introduced standards, one of the exercises is juggling. But not simple, with every part of the body - head, shoulder, chest, thigh, "Swedish", "cheek", lift. Now with the left foot, now with the right, without lowering to the ground. I missed the ball in a circle 21 times! The members of the commission found fault that he was moving. The next day they called again: "Repeat. Only now, stand still." I got angry. What kind of bride are they staged? Not in the circus. He did it three times and went.

- In Kiev, having won the championship, you burst into tears.

Overflowed. What happiness!

- Did you have tears because of football?

In the same season. When the houses unexpectedly lost to the Daugava 1: 2. I'm sure something is unclean here. We have a game set, we understand each other perfectly. We fly across the field. And we can beat such people on foot. But these came, ached, asked for glasses. Say, we will fly out - and instead of Riga you will dangle to Muhosransk. I think ours wavered, sold the game. I felt so offended that I started crying in the locker room.

- How did you celebrate the championship?

Modestly. They returned from Kiev by train, no banquet. When they had a reception at ZIL, they took a sip of champagne in the director's office. They poured a cup into a cup, let it go in a circle. A small prize was also awarded for the "Kiev" camera.

- Did you use it?

Some, like Sergeev, were immediately taken to the purchase, and I became an amateur photographer, traveled with this "Kiev" a bunch of countries. The club specially hired a person to give us photography lessons. Interesting!

- Who from that team is alive?

Four. Vitya Shustikov and I are in Moscow, Lesha Polikanov is in St. Petersburg, Misha Pozuelo is somewhere near Madrid.

- Voronin was buried first.

Valera - kind, generous, he loved to talk. I liked women. Dude. Always dressed with a needle. He traveled abroad in a chic, ink-colored suit. In the Union, they have not seen such. What do we have - in Europe they kept their eyes on Voronin, grabbed the sleeve: "Who sewed this beauty for you?" When we were in Italy with the youth team, he got involved in a history that could have cost dearly.

- What's wrong?

The tournament is over, buffet table. We returned to the hotel, added. And on the street there is a demonstration. Valerka in his underpants climbed onto the windowsill, opened the window. Shouted slogans.

- "Glory to the KPSS"?

- "Camarados! Long live the revolution!" Something like that. I was just playing the fool. And in the morning, the meeting, the coaches and the leadership of the delegation were chatting: "Shame and disgrace! Disgraced the honor of a Soviet citizen ..." For a while, Voronin was not summoned to the national team.

- Explain how he managed to play divinely with regular spree?

Believe me, he didn’t drink that much, ”she said. Galina Samuilovna... - More conversations. Unless after the game he allowed himself champagne.

Yes, the topic is overblown, ”Nikolai Alekseevich frowned. - Kavazashvili agreed that Voronin and Pozuelo drank on the day of the match!

This Anzor Amberkovich told us in an interview. We quote: "In the evening, play with CSKA. In the morning, at the base in Myachkovo, we go out to exercise. Then we go towards the building - Voronin, Pozuelo, Savushkin, Marushko, Andreyuk and I. Suddenly the guys turn into the forest." Where are you going? " us. "We come to the clearing. Voronin winks at Pozuelo:" Bear, drive away. "He runs to the base and returns in five minutes with a bag. He opens - there is cold champagne, five bottles, caviar, sausage. got off? - I say. “We’re playing today!” Valera smiles: “Anzorchik, but a little shampoos. Would you like to pour a drink? "-" What else! "Everyone looked at me:" Well, are you going? " So I stayed. When the bag was empty, we returned to the base. Nobody noticed anything from the coaches. We had lunch, had a rest - and went to the stadium. We won - 3: 0! CSKA was trampled!

Nonsense! There was no such thing! You have no idea how indignant the veterans were after the interview. They stuffed Anzor: "Why are you inventing it?" Voronin, of course, is not an angel, but it is not necessary to make him an alcoholic either. He began to lay firmly only after a terrible accident.

- Valentina, his wife, died long ago?

Ten years ago. From the moment they got divorced, we have had little contact. I remember what Edik Streltsov told me about Valya: “I meet a girl, her father is a big police chief. I visit them at home. who is married to an Italian. They go with Valya to restaurants, meet foreigners, pay for them. And they give in foreign currency at the exchange rate. Then her friend buys something at Beryozka. "

- How do you remember Streltsov?

Silent. Quiet, humble, calm. But in his youth, when he drank, aggression woke up, scandals happened. That in the subway will quarrel. Then he will chase after someone on the street, burst into the apartment, almost start destroying everything.

He is one of those people for whom alcohol is generally contraindicated, - added Galina Samuilovna... “A sober person won't hurt a fly. But a few glasses - and already a different person. Sorry for Edik. Do you remember the last meeting?

On Bolshaya Spasskaya, - Nikolai Alekseevich nodded. - I decided to cook the soup, jumped into the store, I looked - there were three in the doorway. With a bottle. Edik, Valka Denisov and a man who turned out to be the deputy of Khatuntsev, the chairman of the Torpedo society. Valka has oatmeal cookies in her bag.

- Snack?

Probably. Autumn, cold weather. I say: "Wait, I will instantly. Buy what I need - and come to me." Jackdaw covered the table, sat down. I ask: "Where are you from here?" They told me. Denisov after "Torpedo" somewhere on Far East finish the game. A hack, made out without documents. I returned to Moscow - I need a work book, seniority for a pension. I called Streltsov, he helped. Introduced Khatuntsev's deputy, straightened Valke's labor. And then I heard from Edik: "Kohl, I'm to blame. I'm sorry."

- For what?

Do not know! I specified - did not answer.

- Is there a version?

Something to do with "Torpedo". Maybe he remembered how the "old men" strangled, but he did not intercede. Or already under Maslov, when I was pickled in a double.

Military enlistment office

- The most unpleasant person you have met in football?

The entire Union hated the central defender from Minsk - Zarembo. There are so many injuries on his conscience! Sabo also played hard. I couldn’t make out where the leg was, where the ball was. It was a loud story - he broke Volodka Sidorov, a torpedo striker. And he tried to hit me, but I slipped out. Tangentially passed. However, no one can compare with Zarembo. He was like a kite. I could pay for everything with him ...

- How?

A good "patch" was formed. I would have walked to the end - he would have received a fracture in a very unpleasant place. And I would have finished. But at the last moment, I was spared. Almost removed the thorns from his leg.

- Did he even understand that you were sorry?

Hardly. He was stupid. Straightforward.

- And who didn’t feel sorry for you?

This episode slowed down my career. In 1958 they played with Spartak's understudies. I have to keep Lobutev inside. Their footballer is on the flank with the ball. Lobutev and I are running side by side, he is wailing: "For a nickle, for a nickel!" Make, they say, a lumbago. Suddenly a terrible blow over the Achilles!

- Did you hit it on purpose?

One hundred percent!

- What a scoundrel.

I limped for a long time, played injections. The doctors thought it was something with the ankle. Then he let go. After a while I was going to CSKA. Medical board, sent for an x-ray. The picture clearly shows: there is a pit on the bone! It turns out that Lobutev hit on the leg, but did not break the bone, but shattered it. The shrapnel spread into muscles all over the leg. So they weren't allowed to play.

- Could remain disabled.

He is not a disabled person, but he could have easily avoided the call.

- How's that?

The doctor told me directly: "You are not a conscript!" - "Oh, well, it's inconvenient ..." I play football - but I'm not fit for the army? Although at first he hid. The military commissar almost cried, tried to persuade him not to hide: "Nikolai, please call in. Otherwise the minister will fire him without a pension, he has already warned him."

- It's a sin not to be called.

He also had an argument - he extracted an anonymous letter from the safe. It is described in detail how I hide with my relatives in the Moscow region: "We know everything ..."

- Who do you think wrote?

Most likely, one of the neighbors. The main thing is that no one in "Torpedo" thought to intercede for me. There was a difficult period at the plant, they switched to a new model. Not up to football player Manoshin. If Pavel Dmitrievich Borodin, a member of the Central Committee, had been the director, he would have defended. But then another steered. The team was pulled apart. They only advised me in "Torpedo": "You, Kohl, don't show up in Moscow yet." I ran.

- Well, did you come to the military registration and enlistment office?

I did look home after all. The summons were piling up in the mailbox. The officers were guarding me. At some point I thought: how long can I live underground? In “Torpedo” there was not even a coach, Maslov was removed.

- You moved to CSKA and ended your career at 28.

In 1966, the team was headed by Sergei Shaposhnikov. From Lviv, where he had worked before, he brought his own people - Kaplichny, Shulyatitsky, Szekech, Greshchak, Varga ...

- But you are stronger.

Ha! This is your opinion. Shaposhnikov has something else. Plus, there was a conflict at the training camp in Bulgaria. I lived in a room with Dimka Bagrich. I wake up in the afternoon - he is not there. Yeah, I think, somewhere at the guys. Went through the numbers. I dropped in to Leva Kudasov - a company was sitting. Volodka Polikarpov, someone else, sipping local wine. Suddenly there is a knock on the door. Shaposhnikov's voice: "Open up!" The guys jumped out the window.

- God. Floor?

First. Why should I be afraid? I haven't touched wine. Shaposhnikov flies in, grabs a glass, sniffs: "Ah, you drink!" As a result, I turned out to be the last one. Withdrew from the composition.

- You have nothing to do with it.

He thought otherwise. I was just looking for a reason. He cleared the road with his own. I have no complaints about the guys. Although Istvan Sekech is cowardly, he removed his legs from the struggle. But Styopa Varga is a fighter, he was in love with me. He said: "Alekseich, in our Uzhgorod you have been a welcome guest since the time of" Torpedo ". You come - all the cellars are yours!"

- What are the basements? Wine?

Well, yes. Soon Shaposhnikov offered to go to the coaching office. Previously, at 30, they were kicked out of football. And I'm 28. I'll play, I think, a year or two - so what? And here the major has already been appropriated, the prospects are looming. Although many, including Beskov, were amazed: "Why did you finish so early?" You won't explain to everyone, twist your soul.

- Coach Bazilevich was not accepted at CSKA. Why?

Ukrainian psychology is completely different. Kiev attitude, namely Dynamo.

- What is it?

They have a very high opinion of themselves. Lobanovsky had the same thing. Sits down with Khusainov at chess. Gilya puts a checkmate - so Loban jumps up and says: "But I still play chess better than you!"

- The main thing is how to play football.

I was not interested in playing with Lobanovsky. Valerka - he is like that ... "Give me the ball and that's it!" He'll get it, he'll turn his back to you and flop. He will reach the corner, he will rest against the flag. Relying on what? Earn a corner. Serves its own "dry leaf". Either he will twist into the gate himself, or Bazilevich will close on the far side. That's all their football.

- Funny.

You can't build everything on the expectation of a "standard"! This is now killing football. A weak team will lock itself in its own penalty area, wasting time. Waiting for a penalty shootout. And the strong one is afraid to take risks, to open up. Spits: okay, let the penalty kick. Everything is like Russia and Spain. This kind of football is not interesting to me.

Camel

- Have you had adventures in Africa?

Yes, what! In Yemen, I slept with a camel in an embrace. A hump instead of a pillow.

- Comfortable?

Quite. How did it work out? We visited a doctor we knew with Galya. It got dark, it's time to go home, and I got angry, had a fight with her and the driver. I say: "Well, fuck you! I'll get there myself."

- Weren't you afraid to get lost?

No, everything is simple - you go down the serpentine road to the highway, and then our unit is just a stone's throw away. They left, I went on foot. At some point, I feel that I will not make it, I am terribly sleepy. But not on the asphalt to keep within. I look - in the distance the caravan has settled down.

- Bedouins?

Yes. They were friendly, didn't even ask about anything. He came up and lay down with the camel. In the morning I woke up, said goodbye - and went home. And there is panic! Manoshin is gone! Already the army was ready to be thrown in search.

- You started in 1977 with Somalia.

I liked it there. Took the team in fifth place - and made it a champion, we won the Cup. Among the local officers, those who studied in the Union at military academies predominated, they spoke Russian well. They treated us very well. It all ended in one moment. The Saudi prince brought a check to the President of the country: "Enter any amount. The only condition is that the Russians are not here." The Soviet-Somali treaty of friendship and cooperation was torn apart, everyone was sent home. Instead of us, the Chinese came to Somalia.

- And you were transferred to Yemen.

If the climate in Somalia is normal, air conditioning is not needed, then Yemen will be bent without it. Heat - 45 degrees! The level of solar radiation is very high. The metal nets that are put on the windows from mosquitoes fell apart after a week. We joked that in this country there is a reverse process of turning man into ape.

- That is?

Memory deteriorates. Vegetation grows sharply on all parts of the body. So you (points to Kruzhkov) would become curly in Yemen. The British who served there could not stand it for more than a year. And I worked three and a half!

- It was there, right on the field, the footballer died?

Yes. Heart. Although we always trained before sunrise. If it's a little bit up - that's it, running is unrealistic. When the guy got sick, he took him in his car to the clinic. He died on the way. The leaders of the club immediately reassured: "Do not blame yourself. Work as before, do not reduce the load." I was at the funeral, but I didn’t hear any reproaches from my relatives either. Death in those parts is philosophical. It means that Allah pleases so. Now deceased next to him, he feels good there.

- Have you encountered shamans?

No. But they told me in Yemen a story about our instructor pilot. During the exercise, the plane of the local pilot fell into its wake, lost control, and entered the ground with its nose. Several months pass - our pilot dies.

- Suddenly?

Yes! He was healthy as a bull, did not get sick, did not complain about anything at all. An autopsy showed nothing. Doctors wrote - the cause of death has not been established. And the locals suggested that voodoo sorcerers had sent damage to him, to whom the relatives of the deceased turned. We decided to punish the guy.

- And in Somalia, and in Yemen, and in Mali, before your eyes, coups d'état took place. Have you had enough fear?

Well no. Bullets did not whistle overhead. If there is a coup in the country, we were warned: "They shoot in the street, not a foot from the house." We didn’t stick our heads out. Those who lived near the presidential palace were less fortunate. When the firing began, they crawled into the toilet. By the way, in those years there was no sewage system in Yemen. Everything spilled out onto the street and burned under the scorching rays of the sun.

- Imagine what a stench.

Well no. Even strange. Cows and buffaloes were constantly swarming around the garbage pits. There is a raven on each back. They sit, clean their beak, look out for something to profit from. The British brought them there. Without crows, Yemen would be mired in unsanitary conditions. And they help a lot, devour all kinds of carrion. They huddle in flocks, attack rats. I saw it myself: a few seconds - and not a damn thing was left of her.

- The orderlies of the desert.

Exactly. I lived in a villa. One day, from a second-floor window, I saw a picture. The woman cooks, throws the leftovers out the open door. There is a cat. Around the crows. One sideways approaches the cat from the side of the tail, tugs, it hisses, the crow jumps back. Then the second time, the third, the fifth. Finally, the cat darts from its place, rushes after the crow.

- Successfully?

No. Manages to soar into the air, and her brothers instantly grab an ownerless piece of meat and tear. Yes, I think the collective selection of the crows is well established. Another case. A comrade bought a blowgun for his little son there. Little thing. He started shooting at the crows from the balcony. So what do you think? Soon a huge flock of crows covered the balcony. They croaked for a long time, hammering on the glass with their beaks. The kid forgot about the gun, for several days it was not like on the balcony - he was afraid to poke his nose into the street!

- How did your wife live in Africa?

Fine. In Yemen a day national holiday we came to the match, but we can't get to the stadium, everything is blocked. They made me walk around on foot, let me go from the end, through a small door. Galya is with us. Some of the leaders invited her to participate in the ceremony, to take the team to the field.

- Agreed?

Why not? And now an army team of Yemen is walking along the treadmill, and a Russian woman is at the head. The blonde, in an embroidered shirt. The Arabs bulged their eyes: "Who is this ?!" There have never been any girls playing football there. But there was also an unpleasant moment.

- Where?

In the same Yemen. We were taught: "Do not serve beggars on the street! It's more expensive for yourself!" Once the two of us went to the shop, followed by a crowd of beggars. They say: "Madam, baksheesh!" We are not responding.

- Reasonable.

But in the shop woman's heart trembled. Galya took pity on the children, decided to show that we are not greedy, just begging is bad. I bought 20 servings of ice cream, and it is not cheap there. While distributing, the crowd began to grow before our eyes, shouts: "Madam! Madam!" But you can't feed all of Yemen with ice cream. Those who did not have enough were offended and threw stones at Galya. Here's the story, huh?

- You have wonderful stories.

You think? Then another one, - said Galina Samuilovna... - About seven years ago, Kolya was invited with CSKA veterans to a holiday in Khanty-Mansiysk. The guys knew that he had a bad heart, heart attacks, and a stroke. They said: “Don't worry, we will take care of my husband. And he arranged this ...

- What, Nikolai Alekseevich?- we turned to Manoshin. He chuckled:

They put up a local team against us. Much younger, of course. At the end of the match, he could not stand it, he asked to be replaced, at least for a couple of minutes. They released it. Received a pass, clocked one, the second. He covered the ball with his body so that no one could get close to it. In general, I did not spoil it.

Dashevskaya looked at her husband with tenderness:

That's for sure - you can't spend on the skill!

We have heard about these things many times, but only a few know how they look in nature. Most likely, if we showed pictures without captions, you would never guess what it is. Judge for yourself!

Black box

Everyone knows that in every plane and helicopter there is a "black box", which records everything that happens on board and the readings of the instruments. It is called BUR (on-board recording device) or on-board recorders. So, it is not black at all, and in most cases it is not a box. And the orange ball. The color is such that it is noticeable far away, and the shape is such that it does not sink in water, but floats like a buoy. These boxes were black only at first, from 1939 to the 50s. The black color protected the film in the recorder from overexposure.

Bitcoin

Now only the lazy has not heard about bitcoin. The digital currency is gaining momentum, but few people know that real coins have been issued since 2011. Each of them has an individual email address and a key to it. They are protected by a special hologram, which can be accessed by the owner of the coin only in a special online service.

Tarantula

The tarantula is the most venomous spider in the world. For some reason, everyone thinks that he is very big and scary, like in the movie "Home Alone". In fact, there was a tarantula spider there. And the tarantula is small and inconspicuous.

DNA

In our view, a DNA molecule is an ideal double helix. So it is drawn in the school textbook. In fact, it is such a tangle of threads as in photo 2. The molecule is so long that you can not only see it, but also touch it!

Elephant tail

Who has not seen an elephant alive will never guess it in this stick with bristles. By the way, this is a very valuable thing among African tribes.

Barrel of oil

The oil barrel was invented in the United States as a unit of measurement for the amount of oil. It is a barrel of this size.
