As father Alexey has constructed COMMUNISM in Piously-Alekseevsky
As father Alexey has constructed COMMUNISM in Piously-Alekseevsky
Deserts.
In three kilometres from the Yaroslavl highway, in an open country on
To border with wood, there lives human settlement to which it is difficult
To find definition. A tractor without business stand. In a farmyard low
Tens cows, one hundred lambs skips on zagonchikam, pigs
Grunt, horses beat hoofs. Village? But in villages there are no libraries
On 50 thousand volumes, the museums to which exhibits envy and
Capital storehouses.
AT LAST, we will not find village where would be classical
Grammar school. And here - it costs. French - from the first
Class, from the fifth - Latin and Greek, and also all disciplines,
Based on classic languages. Plus, certainly, subjects,
prepodavaemye and in usual high school. Similar, it is a city,
Small town? However here there are no too many signs of a city life -
Neither radio, nor TV, militia as there are no also clients of this
Services - drunkards, thieves, racketeers...
And number the local population hardly will pull on one entrance
devjatietazhki - hundred sixty souls. Still feature of a place - from
The most different edges people - from Krasnoyarsk, Perm were going to here,
Moscow, there is even a girl from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatka.
This place which is not approaching under any habitual is called
The standard, Piously-Alekseevsky Deserts. A just life conduct here
Members of the charitable organisation - an orthodox monastery -
Mercy brotherhoods.
There was a brotherhood round father Alexey Vasilenko as though
Casually. In its 1991 have sent to serve in restored
Churches of village of New Pereslavl area of the Yaroslavl area.
This temple, magic ornament of a line Moscow - Yaroslavl,
Has been constructed by princes Gagarinymi. At the Soviet power on
To usage it was used for different economic needs - and
As mill served, and a warehouse of spare parts.
On service the father have called, but to live to it with the spouse and five
Children had appeared there is no place. namykalis they on the corners, seven havens
"Tried on". Someone also has prompted: nearby - ruins
Monastic monastery. In the early twenties nuns therefrom have sent on errands,
And sound structures on bricks, on dosochkam have carried. What not
Could carry away, have burnt. And there was there a stone church with
Belltower, tens sound houses, and all this economy
The high wall with towers surrounded.
- To tell, what is it the place to me has attracted at once, -
Father Alexey tells, - it is impossible in any way. Absolutely on the contrary - horror
objal me, heart has broken. I have seen one ruins.
However the best place for habitation all the same it was not expected, and
It has started family to be equipped on the sly among ruin. A kitchen garden
Have set at once. The father with children and members of household arrival always
Will support, milk yes jaichek grandmothers will bring, but it was awkward
To live off old women. Mother Lyudmila - the person city, but
Both hens has got, and a cow has bought. Nochke already fifteen years,
Under the zoological laws - the pensioner, but also thoughts are not present,
Father Alexey speaks to make from it something "bad".
Care for it and cherish, as member of a family. Approximately in a year, in the summer,
There was in deserts a new person, artist Alexey from
Uzbekistan.
- The worker is not necessary to you?
- It is possible to try. And it is registered where?
It has appeared, with documents at Alexey of any problems: a place
Its residence appeared... New-Alekseevsky deserts. Two
For years earlier the artist came here with the friend, they grazed a season
State-farm calfs, for as have received a desired stamp in the passport:
It is registered supposedly on the ashes.
So in deserts has appeared new naselnik (was the builder,
The truck farmer, grazed cattle, now teaches in a grammar school from). But
Any plans to create on a place of the destroyed monastery new not
Was. All happens on destiny command, or as the person will tell
The believer, - on craft Bozhiju.
The old man has died in village Vasilevo, near to New. Has brought
Water bucket, has laid down on a sofa and has told to the paralysed wife: "dusja,
You with me do not speak, I will die ". Also has calmed down... Has read the burial service over it
The father, and in some days have decided to go with the wife to the widow -
How it there? Knew, that the son in other village lives, whether goes to
Mothers? Have entered into a log hut and have choked with a stench. The sonny, it has appeared,
There comes time in two days. And how was to leave it, helpless?
Have transported to itself, and woman Dusja has lived four with superfluous year in
Heat and care. There was one more paralysed old woman later,
The woman Belief, "our fighting girl-friend" as her father Alexey names.
The woman Belief lived in eight kilometres from Is new-alekseevki and for a day
Could run on two times in deserts and back, thirty just over
Kilometres were to it at all. Also has suddenly fallen down its blow. Native were,
Yes it is not close.
FATHER George, one of four present priests of a monastery,
Owned in St.-Petersburg perspective business. But it wanted
Absolutely other life. Now it rises in four mornings, spends
Morning and evening services, it is occupied every second. Its presence,
Father Alexey speaks, does not allow to tell, that a life - heavy.
Father George can ask: "As it? And me the life is not heavy".
The director of a grammar school Konstantin Chebykin, the candidate of historical sciences,
Was in a monastery the shepherd, and earlier the cattleman and the cook (everyone
naselnik should execute the obedience). Now the director "without
Separation from manufacture "collects a material for the doctor's
Dissertations.
Has somehow appeared in a monastery and absolutely exotic character -
Misha (here his name is Michael) from the Western Germany. He, speaks,
From the childhood could not live in the homeland, it was close, not free to it.
Rushed about, on drugs of "villages". After many drudgeries the God has resulted
German Mishu in It is new-alekseevku, where he at last has learnt, that the such
Happiness. She is the mild, blue-eyed wife its Nina, small
Little son Cyril, is the beautiful two-storeyed house which have constructed
To it all world. And, of course, a farm, where Michael the most important, and
Means, the most responsible. Weak newborn pigs carries to
To itself home, vypaivaet from a dummy.
Children from state houses have appeared for the first time in deserts of years seven
Back. Spouses Vasilenko stayed with friends in Moscow, and those just
Have borrowed to itself of a vacation of children from children's home. Friends and
Have offered: "Perhaps will take out children to itself for the summer, air
To breathe? "... When has come it is time to send young Muscovites from
Monasteries, visitors have rested: we will not go in any, all the same we will get away and
To you we will return!
Father Alexey honour on honour has issued guardianship over children. Among
Them were two friends with the most popular in children's homes the diagnosis -
oligofrenija. One now serves in army, the real tractor operator,
Another became the irreplaceable worker in Is new-alekseevke. Awful
The diagnoses threatening to boys by physical inability and lifelong
By vegetation in spetsinternate, are removed.
So the monastery population grew. There is here a vagabond, helpless
The blind old man, is the people, gone through personal tragedy... But it is more
In total - the healthy, strong people wishing others, than in the world,
Lives.
Naselniki are engaged in by business since morning dotemna - sow, plough, study,
Learn, take care of patients. Work without the salary, for "thanks".
From the general copper are fed, put on, on the general money build houses,
Bath, restore old church (the new have erected under a roof
Grammar schools). Day begins a pray and the general meal, the same and
Comes to the end.
Without a permission of seniors children cannot leave territory
Monasteries. And adults without blessing of the father far not
Will leave.
- And suddenly something such it will want it? - It is not quite clear
I have formulated the question to father Alexey. He has wisely grinned:
- Here "suddenly something it will want" cannot be. Here the Charter,
Here again those who the Charter accepts. You do not wish - an exit free.
- Whether and to many people has left a monastery?
- Probably, as much, how much has come.
Usually, spoke to me here, it becomes very fast clearly -
We is the person or not ours. In It is new-alekseevke, for example, the dry
The law (except, of course, celebratory and other especial days). For
The first infringement of the person will send there, whence has arrived.
Twenty minutes on gathering, money for road - and farewell.
There are those who truly searches a just, pure life. A monastery
Meaningly does not start up to itself neither radio, nor TV. So,
Consider here, smother nurseries are not hammered by that nasty thing,
Seamy side-pornuhoj that is thrown up from screens.
Only do not think, that naselniki monasteries as a result of the such
Restrictions have appeared are torn off from the big world. TV in
Deserts are not present, and TVs and videorecorders are available, in the local
To videoshop of two thousand cartridges, the best films of all times and the people
- Art, musical, scientific, educational...
New-Alekseevsky children receive, perhaps, more than that
The usual family can give to children. In the summer they take out "on the south".
Senior pupils last year have taken a fortnight course
Lectures on painting history in the Hermitage. Children leave also, and
Adults in museums and theatres of Yaroslavl, Moscow, other cities.
This summer four scientific expeditions here are planned
(For example, archaeological, paleontologic), and in everyone
Schoolboys will take part. It will be right is extracted through competition
Abstracts.
On the Yaroslavl highway cars rushed; from here, from desert,
Yellow sparks of headlights were visible only. All well our place,
Inhabitants of this reserved corner, only very much spoke to me
The wordly life is close. That also look, something will intrude yes
Will break...

It is new-alekseevka - Moscow.
