Notes of the Colorado Cockroach. Pre-winter travel Ternopil
Hello my beloved! I'll surprise you a little now. To begin with, about what asked one of the readers in previous notes. Namely - how we are preparing for the winter.
A luxurious goes. That's just where it is not entirely clear. We are now in the trend, as is fashionable to say, the newest electronic device - zradometer. I don’t have it yet, but I will definitely have it, because without it nowhere. And any everyday situationvine they need to check.
Priborchik simple dial with an arrow. If in the far right sector, red is zrada. If in the extreme left, blue and yellow, of course - peremoga. If on the green, in the middle - then "Vlad sho shooes."
For the time being, they made many greetings before the heating season. Once upon a time there were people who used subsidies. But subsidies are things like Winnie the Pooh's honey. In short, it may end overnight. And then you will receive this “letter of happiness” with recalculation.
It will, of course, say that the amount is small. However, it comes in three and four thousand. And the hryvnia, especially in the thousands, is such a thing — it never happens a lot, and especially when the authorities think that you have these hryvnias — bags in the basements.
Well, and how much we have to break the light, too, will show. And then you yourself take your calculators and find out how it lives in Ukraine today.
And this, by the way, is not Kiev bills. It is in the city pretty much more modest and cheaper. Well, what to do, since the question found me already on the way from Kiev? It is necessary to answer, once readers ask.
Generally, it is fun, to be honest. And cold.
And when will warm? That's right, when they turn on the heating. And it will turn on when the main part of the hryvnia changes its owners.
In short, I moved to the south. The organism is no longer new, so I am not ready to freeze, especially since such perturbations that I had to endure bring only negative in the cold.
In general, I decided to ride a relative that lives to the south. Arrange a sort of check in cities and villages. And at the same time you will be shown and told where they live, and who breathes what. A sort of cockroach guide.
In the meantime, I will travel, you see, it will become warmer in Kiev. And in general, maybe the last time I arrange this for myself. Life, it is so ... Today everything is fine, and tomorrow - as in Vinnitsa, fireworks with a fatal outcome.
By the way, I will definitely visit Vinnitsa. I will listen to relatives there tell.
In the meantime, I was in a very old Ukrainian city of Ternopil. True, despite the fact that he began to build in 1540, he became Ukrainian only in 1939, after very well-known events. Before that, Ternopil was very much Polish.
So from Polish he became very Soviet, and if absolutely in truth, he was made Ukrainian in 1991. What caused the serious spread among the Ternopil residents, and Kiev had to make an effort in terms of the Ukrainization of the city and region.
Thousands of troops of the Ukrainian language teachers were sent to Ternopil, because nobody really spoke to him. And they used such mad surfers from three languages that their brains wrapped around any normal Ukrainian.
Well, let's go through the city so slightly.
Generally, Ternopil is a very decent town. Very cute and clean, no match for many.
This is how the city meets everyone who enters it from the west side. Immediately put the dots on that very letter, so that no one has the secret of patriotism crept into the soul.
This is a local landmark - agrozamok. Previously, it was just a castle built by a local big wheel. The collar at the start of 2000's died after committing suicide. You let, you know, in itself 14 bullets from AKM, and the castle was left without an owner. And now agroholdings of all stripes rule here. Indeed, what place to disappear?
They say, however, at night the host ghost wanders among the tractors and picks up the spent cartridges. But it is so ... a legend.
There is another legend. About the local lake.
Who dug him? That's right, ukry! But not ancient, alas. Quite modern. In the 1951 year. Local pioneers and Komsomol members were digging under the watchful eye of visiting NKVD officers. And dug. Of course, everyone who dug was shot and buried at the bottom. And today, witnesses to that - darkness. There are those that can list all the names.
This is, of course, a local hero. True, to Ternopil Bandera no side, but 5 monuments to him are available. This one is the largest, the rest are smaller, shoved up to the districts. Each district has its own Stepan!
Well, yes, also Red Star Avenue was renamed. As part of the fight. What do you think, in whom? Right. Why nothing to strain your head, if hera is already there.
In general, the residents of Ternopil, they seem to be a little pan-cropped. Apparently, the Polish-Soviet past affected, now catching up with leaps and bounds.
There is a park in the city. The name of the division "Galicia", as they say signs on the perimeter of the park. Believe me for the word, but decent, slightly versed in stories an organism, even if the editors missed it, would not post such a photo on these (which is no secret, dear to them) pages.
Glory to the creators, there are many places in Ternopil, to where these have not yet reached, with pans.
Well, you understand who. They are the most ancient ukry. In another park.
One of the oldest temples. Catholic, of course, everything is mostly Catholic.
And this is the Soviet legacy. So called - "old stage". And on it rehearse, if the weather allows, all sorts of youth groups. For free.
Ivan Franko. Local people say so funny: "Ivanov Statue", with an emphasis on "y".
Square Salome Krushelnytska and a monument to her. A rich patron of arts decided in Polish times to make a square, and he take and take root.
And this is Pushkin. To complete the picture. Ukrainian, polka ... Russian. Everything is very democratic.
Such is the civilization. Solar panels from which you can charge a mobile phone or tablet. Is free. Provided that no one cords are torn off. Tear off quite often.
Also a monument. City of Ternopil, cast in bronze.
Hey Soviet! Do you recognize? Admit it, who on such boats as a child soared to heaven? BUT? For 10 cents? Not just preserved as a monument, they even work. In both ...
Well, move away from the tourist routes in the direction of the routes of the cockroach.
Did you recognize the kiosk? Also from the same times, "Soyuzpechat" was called.
This advertisement is also from local ... Defenders of All Ukraine.
But Napoleon Mishiko here called the Terminator, but not appreciated. Go, they say, come back to Odessa ...
In general, Ternopil is a very political city. But so ... with established views. Well, if they go there next year to vote, then only for Panna Julia. On her and on Trump all hope, well, all the talk about them in buses and shuttles.
Speaking of transport. The fare was a bit, 3 hryvnia trolley, 4 hryvnia - minibus. But especially for my arrival on the passage threw a hryvnia. And with 1 in January, the fare will be even more expensive, 6 hryvnia minibus and 5 - trolley, respectively, if calculated in cash. Well, not Kiev rates, but nonetheless.
However, for those who have a Ternopoly card, the fare will remain the same. Slyly invented.
By the way, he laughed at the one who invented all this. Minister of Transport of Ternopil name is Igor Medinsky. Oh, these Medina, forever stir up something.
The market in Ternopil is no match for others. That's where everything up to heaven - so it is here. They say more only in Chernivtsi. But here forgive me, when in Ternopil indulged in Chinese firecrackers, in Chernivtsi with might and main traded in dynamite. There the market is more serious.
But here - hoo th! And buyers, by the way, more.
Who poglazastey, estimated how much Russian smuggling? I first pribaldel, on the box "Azerchay" and hieroglyphs. Well, I think, finally ... This, that same, Azerbaijani tea! I looked closely, and on the box: "Russia, Krasnodar Territory." Ugh on you, and then zrada!
And this, my dear, is the real Hutsul creativity. Yet. While in the Carpathians the trees are not extinct. Hands done, feet delivered. You probably have no such thing in Russia!
Understand where embroidery come from? Doom! A handful, for any size and color! Ternopil is the center of embroidery trade, if not production. Because now there are thousands of them in China. But - our more interesting, although more expensive. It is from here that patriotic clothing spreads throughout Ukraine.
This is also local creativity. Bundles. Convenient and beautiful in winter. Not like felted. We are able ...
Well, this, of course, a tavern market. You understand that our brother is not favored there, so only for prices and I can talk.
So what do you think? By your standards? According to ours - nothing, the people in the queue do not break their foreheads, but it pleases to eat.
And, once started talking for food, I will tell you about the last sight of Ternopil. This is me about the oldest in Ukraine pizzeria.
When it was built for the first time, no one even remembers. Somewhere in 70's, it was. Since then, people have changed, completely changed the equipment, you will laugh, but the reconstruction was in 90-s, so exactly the same old set was carried from Italy to order. But unused. In there, the Italians probably laughed ... And then - hoo!
Near the newest "Old Pizza", glitters with chrome and nickel. And 9 of 10 Ternopilians stand in line at this pizzeria. That's what 40 means years of good reputation ...
Here is such a city of Ternopil. In its pleasant, but, to be honest, with a huge durinka. But why am I going to their monastery with my charter? In general, of course, with Bandera, they just went too far. And so - nothing town.
Bark, of course, power, so that the local dogs envy. There is a lot of talk about decentralization, and not only residents are simple, but also officials. Everyone wants to live better.
And how is it better to live here, when from 9 September to 10 hryvnia on Kiev a bottle of vodka or brandy threw away from Kiev bounty? Here and so, without her, darling, it is not always possible to live adequately, I will even say more, it’s not very good to live in Ukraine in a sober head, so you need to live in borscht ...
To drink less steel? Yeah, schazz ... Smoked, smoked on the outskirts. There is no moonshine here, in general, the bimber is a historical drink.
And somehow you know, three days passed so easily and cheerfully ...
But they themselves understand where I am carried next. I wonder in Vinnitsa ride. Yes ask around, that yes how. It came up with cordons from people there, and a cockroach, as is well known, crawls anywhere, and finds out everything. And you, dear readers, will tell and show.
So, as you can see, Ukraine has not yet died, it lives. With an effort, of course, but he lives. And I say goodbye to you, but not for long. Until the next story about my journey. May God give you the fall is not cold, but if the cold comes, so that you always have a sweet and tart, fragrant bimber in your case. Well, and salsa under it with onions and garlic. And then - that we have these colds, is not it?
