Information about the installation of a monument to the first builders of BAM.

It is known that its author was Chairman of the Election Commission of the Amur Region Nikolai Nevedomsky (pictured), who is responsible for the monument to the Cossack pioneers near Blagoveshchensk and the bronze trinity (a dog, a magpie and an imperturbable cat) on the Amur embankment in Blagoveshchensk.

The monument to the first builders of the BAM is a composition of a wheelbarrow with soil, working tools, and builders’ hats. There is a similar one already at the Bamovskaya station in Panyoryaninskaya - where the highway originates. But to the Tynda version they will add a guitar and a student’s jacket. According to Nikolai Alekseevich’s plan, the memorial composition in Tynda should symbolize the connection of times - BAM was built not only by young people who arrived in the 70s of the last century from all over the USSR, but also by prisoners.

As is known, the construction of the Baikal-Amur Mainline in the impassable taiga began long before the All-Union Komsomol shock construction project, which in the 70s and 80s of the last century was dubbed the construction of the century. Since school, I know that the first steam locomotive passed along the BAM - Tynda branch in 1937 (this year marks the 80th anniversary of this event!). The road, which gave a second life to the small village of Tyndinsky, was built by BAMlag prisoners. And during the Great Patriotic War, the rails of the mainline were removed and sent for the construction of the Volga Rockade, which played vital role in the battle on the Volga. And it is precisely this significant period of history in the fate of not only Tynda, but the entire country that they want to dedicate a monument to.

IN in social networks and on local websites the news about the appearance of the monument and its significance caused real hysteria. The virtual public is divided into two camps: some ask to abandon this idea, others, who, alas, are a minority, do not see anything unusual or strange in the new monument. I won’t retell what people write. But in all the comments the refrain is the idea that BAM was built in the 70s and 80s, this event should be proud, the heroes of that time should be glorified, and it is better to forget that the very first rails in the terrible 30s were built by prisoners. Some even call this period of our lives a black spot.

But erase those from history terrible events impossible. People who respect their country, their history, know how many innocent people were killed in that harsh time. Entire families were taken away to an unknown destination simply because they had an opinion different from the authorities. Or someone wanted to take possession of someone else’s apartment, property, or take a better position. Some died in the camps from cold and hunger, others from slave labor. Last year, in the Murtygita area, while removing soil from one of the quarries, we came across human bones- our hills have become graves for many.

Unfortunately, many of us still have a Soviet complex inside us. For many decades we have been taught that the Great Patriotic War is a ceremonial uniform, and BAM is the stern and thoughtful faces of the heroes of that time, Ivan Varshavsky and Alexander Bondar. We have not even fully developed the need to restore historical justice in the date of Tynda’s birth.

Maybe that politician has not yet been born, but it is regrettable how we have absurdly forgotten that before the arrival of the “big” BAM, people lived here, a newspaper was published, a school and a hospital operated. During the war, the residents of the village forged victory in the rear with the whole country, many went to the front, the names of the dead are forever carved on the monument to their fellow countrymen. My nephews have long believed that before November 1975, when the village of Tyndinsky was given the status of a city, there was an endless green plain here. But there are still people alive whose passports indicate that they were born in the village of Tyndinsky in the Dzheltulak (now Tyndinsky) district.

You should not be afraid of monuments that carry a difficult meaning. Our life consists of different, sometimes contradictory events, facts, reasoning, and assessments. And the work of everyone is worthy of respect - both those who built the BAM in the 30s, and those who built the road, cities and towns in the 70s... I don’t want to seem banal, but our proverbs are always very accurate: “Whoever remembers the old will keep an eye out, and whoever forgets, both will deserve it.”

Did you know true values proverbs and sayings that we often use in Everyday life? For example, “Business has time, but fun has time”? We talked with a teacher of Russian language and speech culture, Evgenia Borisovna Yalymova, and found out what meaning was actually put into modern idioms our ancestors.

“The first pancake is lumpy”​

“The first damn thing is lumpy,” we say when something doesn’t work out the first time. It turns out that the proverb acquired such a meaning only over time: initially the phrase sounded completely different: “The first pancake is for the comatose, the second pancake is for acquaintances, the third pancake is for distant relatives, and the fourth pancake is for me.” “Kom” among the ancient Slavs is a bear, and it was to him, according to custom, that the first pancake should have been given, says Evgenia Borisovna.

There are proverbs that are now not fully used: we use only part of them, accordingly, narrowing the meaning. “The first pancake is lumpy” - good example narrowing the meaning by shortening the phrase. Initially, the proverb spoke about how a person should behave towards guests, loved ones, and society. Now we are not talking about behavioral traditions, but about the failure that can befall a person when he starts a business

“Whoever remembers the old is out of sight”

Another proverb, which in abbreviated form has found new meaning. The current meaning of the saying is that there is no need to remind others of their mistakes. However, this is what the proverb was originally: “Whoever remembers the old will be out of sight, and whoever forgets will be both.”

“Initially, the meaning of the proverb was that there is no need to reproach a person for past misdeeds, but there is no need to consign the past to oblivion,” comments Evgenia Borisovna.

"In a healthy body healthy mind"

All lovers healthy image life knows this catchphrase well. “A healthy mind in a healthy body,” we say, meaning that by keeping the body in excellent shape, a person protects and mental health. The ancestors were more skeptical: they said that “it would be good for a healthy body and a healthy spirit.” In other words, the second does not follow from the first, but if everything in a person was beautiful, it would be much better.

We have turned the meaning of the popular expression around, giving it the exact opposite. In fact, the author of the saying meant this: in Roman society (and the saying came to us from that era) it was given great importance physical culture, and the passion for it was so great that, according to the author, people paid little attention to the development of the soul. That is, only the beauty of the body was valued. But the author of the expression considered it necessary to have harmony of both body and soul

"On the topic of the day"​

The expression we use when something is said or done at the right time is borrowed from the Bible. The word "malice" originally meant "caring." “The Bible says that “every day his evil is sufficient,” that is, every day his worries are enough,” says Evgenia Borisovna.

Some popular expressions, proverbs and sayings that came to us from the Bible or from Latin change their meaning due to the fact that the meaning of a particular word changes with the development of language

Russian remember...

Russian refugees from Azerbaijan, like no one else, know what pogroms are. Few people know about the Baku pogroms of 1990. Due to various circumstances, this is kept silent. Although if such facts are made public, many will look differently at guests from the Caucasus.
Of all the Caucasian republics (not counting Chechnya), the Azerbaijanis were the most cruel to Russians. In Baku in January 1990, Russians were killed simply because they were Russians. One of the reasons for the aggression was the weakening state power and the collapse of the country. On January 13, the bloodbath began.
Refugee N.I. T-va:
“Something unimaginable was happening there. On January 13, 1990, pogroms began, and my child, clinging to me, said: “Mom, they’re going to kill us now!” And after the entry of troops, the director of the school where I worked (this is not a bazaar!), an Azerbaijani, an intelligent woman, said: “Nothing, the troops will leave - and here there will be a Russian hanging on every tree.” They fled, leaving their apartments, property, furniture... But I was born in Azerbaijan, and not only me: my grandmother was also born there!..”

Yes, Baku in 1990 was seething with hatred towards the “Russian occupiers”. The mountaineers created Azerbaijan for the Azerbaijanis: “a crowd of thugs is operating on the streets and in the houses, and at the same time the protesters are walking around with mocking slogans: “Russians, don’t leave, we need slaves and prostitutes!” How many hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Russian people survived dozens of pogroms and “Holocausts” in order, in the end, to be convinced that there is no friendship of peoples? “The woman from Zagorsk turned out to be a Russian refugee from Baku. Outwardly she looks like a suddenly aged teenage girl, pale, her hands are shaking, she speaks with a strong stutter - so much so that it is sometimes difficult to understand her speech. The problem is simple: under what clause of which legal document should they be considered refugees? they are not registered, and they are not accepted for work without a registration (“though I earn extra money by sewing, I clean the floors in the entrances”), they are deprived of refugee status, and they are not given the money required in this case. Galina Ilyinichna began to explain... The refugee took out a sheet of paper and a fountain pen, but could not write anything down - her hands were shaking so much that the pen left only jumping scribbles on the sheet. I took it upon myself to help.
“Why is this so with you?..” “Oh, it’s almost gone now! I’ve become better at speaking now (And I, it’s a sin, thought that things couldn’t get any worse!) But then, when they killed us...” “Where were you killed?” “Yes, in Baku, where we lived. They broke down the door, hit my husband on the head, he lay unconscious all this time, they beat me. Then they tied me to the bed and began to rape the eldest girl - Olga, she was twelve years old. Six of us. It’s good that four-year-old Marinka was locked in the kitchen, I didn’t see it... Then they beat everything in the apartment, raked out what they needed, untied me and told me to clean up until the evening. When we were running to the airport, a girl almost fell at my feet - they threw her out of the upper floors somewhere. Blast! Her blood splattered all over my dress...
We ran to the airport, and there they said that there were no places for Moscow. On the third day they just flew away. And all the time, like a flight to Moscow, dozens of cardboard boxes with flowers were loaded onto each flight... At the airport they mocked me, they promised to kill everyone. That's when I started stuttering. I couldn't speak at all. And now,” something like a smile appeared on her lips, “I speak much better now.” And my hands don’t shake so much...”

Like this. Do you have some questions for the joyfully smiling Azeri people who are abundant in our markets? Remember, looking at them: IT IS THEY who raped twelve-year-old Olga, IT IS THEY who threw Russian children out of the windows, IT IS THEY who robbed and humiliated our brothers!

Another story - “Today there are tanks on the streets of Baku, houses are dressed in black mourning flags.

— On many houses there are inscriptions: “Russians are occupiers!”, “Russians are pigs!” My mother came on assignment from Kursk to a remote mountainous Azerbaijani village to teach children Russian. This was thirty years ago. Now she is a pensioner. I worked at school as a teacher for the second year... I came to school a week ago, and in the corridor there was a sign: “Russian teachers, go to the cleaners!” I say: “What are you guys doing?” And they spit at me... I taught them the alphabet. Now here my mother and I are here /in Russia/. We have no relatives in Russia. No money, no work... Where? How? After all, my homeland is Baku. Women teachers, with
with whom I talked in a small room, every now and then they wiped away involuntary tears of resentment.

“I ran away with my daughter with one bag in three minutes.” A terrible insult! I’m not a politician, I taught children and I’m not to blame for the troubles that happened in the republic. I didn’t see Aliyev’s name on the slogans of the Popular Front. But they did not represent Gorbachev at its best. It's a shame, because I know these people, I have friends there, my whole life is there.

— The extremists are well organized, which cannot be said about the local authorities. Late last year, housing agencies across the city required everyone to fill out forms, supposedly to receive food stamps. The application form also had to indicate nationality. When the pogroms began, the exact addresses were in the hands of extremists: where the Armenians live, where the Russians live, where the mixed families are, etc. It was a well-thought-out nationalist action.

The next victims according to the plan of the pogromists were to be Russian officers and their families. In the first days it was captured kindergarten, however, quickly repulsed by our military, then in the Caspian Sea they tried to scuttle ships with refugees, the attack on which was miraculously repelled. Alexander Safarov recalls: “The third day of the massacre, January 15, began with a terrible roar. First there was a sound reminiscent of an explosion, then a roar, and the new flotilla headquarters building on the Bailovskaya cone disappeared in clouds of dust. The headquarters slid down the slope, destroying and covering with debris the canteen of the coastal base of the OVR brigade.

Over the next months, Russians were evicted from their apartments en masse. In the courts, all claims were answered frankly: “Who seized? Azerbaijanis? They did it right! Go to your own Russia and rule there, but here we are the masters!!!” But Russian military personnel received the heaviest blow after the collapse of the State Emergency Committee. Having come to power, Boris Yeltsin declared the flotilla based in Baku Russian, and transferred the Russian military personnel under the jurisdiction of Azerbaijan. This act was rightly regarded by the military as a betrayal. “It was at this time,” writes A. Safarov, “taking advantage of this situation, the Azerbaijani court
sentenced the lieutenant of the general military school, who used weapons to repel an armed attack at the school checkpoint and killed several bandits, to death.

The guy spent more than a year on death row, awaiting execution, while under pressure public opinion in Russia (mainly newspapers " Soviet Russia") Heydar Aliyev was forced to hand it over to the Russian side.

And how many others like him were betrayed and did not return to their homeland? All this remained a mystery, including the number of victims of the massacre. You can’t tell about everyone...”

According to the report of the chairman of the Russian community of Azerbaijan, Mikhail Zabelin, in 2004 there were about 168 thousand Russians left in the country, while on January 1, 1979, about 476 thousand citizens of Russian nationality lived in Azerbaijan, in 22 regions of the republic there were about 70 Russians settlements and settlements. In 1989, 392 thousand Russians lived in Azerbaijan (not counting other Russian speakers), in 1999 - 176 thousand...

Against this background, a lot of Azerbaijanis successfully settled in Russia, in Moscow. But this seemed not enough, and in January 2007, the Organization for the Liberation of Karabakh issued a threat against the Russians remaining in Azerbaijan. Threat
was motivated by imaginary discrimination against their compatriots in Russia: “The situation of Azerbaijanis in all regions of Russia, and in particular in central cities, deplorable. Retail outlets owned by our compatriots are closed, those who try to open new ones are subject to inspections, fines are imposed on them, searches are carried out in the homes of Azerbaijanis, and violence is used.

Who will remember the old...

To forgive does not mean to say: I forgive, but to take out of the heart the annoyance, the unkind feeling against the offender (Leo Tolstoy)

But this proverb has a continuation “... and whoever forgets, keep both eyes out!”, which contradicts its first part. And go figure out which half to choose as your life credo. Apparently, it all depends on the circumstances. The Anglo-Saxons also think the same: “Dwell on the past and you may lose an eye; forget the past and you will“lose both eyes” (remember the past - lose an eye; forget the past - lose both eyes)

He who takes revenge sometimes regrets what he did; he who forgives never regrets it(Alexandr Duma)
