Letters Mikola
30/09/1910 I am writing to you from investigation prison in Zhodino.I was transferred here unexpectedly. They took me to my hut at Volodarka in 21 hours and about 11 am the next day I was in the chamber here. Step by Zhodino - it is very difficult test in all respects. But the joke is that I will have to pass this test again: I did not have time to spend in the new hut an hour, gave me a blank inventory of belongings and told to collect wool and bedding. This means that I'm leaving again, probably back to Volodarka (nowhere else).In fact, that I will not sit in Zhodino, a big plus, because on Volodarka much better, I arrived there from Ives as a sanatorium.
... With regards to how I was and with whom, impressions, of course a million, you can write a whole book. A huge number of people sitting on the lawlessness, and having been in prison, you begin to realize the scope of this nightmare. With some inmates on IP, I began a pretty good relationship, I will be glad to find them in the wild. People with common friends, too, was a heap. The guy with the Chinook, which we were engaged in a coach, my grandfather, who goes to my sister in a church, knows it and plays solo in their Baptist choir, and so on.
...At Volodarka I stopped into a very good house: both in terms of the contingent, and in terms of everyday life. There were, of course, critical moments, well, where do without them - men's team. But when I went on stage, I was very warm farewell, gathered in dorgu, warmed, explain everything you need, so that during those 5 days that I spent there, I do not need anything. And the days flew by surprisingly fast. In particular, and because there is quite a simple procedure (such as tea or cook a meal) delayed for a long time due to objective reasons.
...About my mood: I hold a hearty and in spite of that I will stay despite all the efforts of the P-we. And whatever the verdict of the court (if it is), I would meet him with her head held high in the literal and figurative sense.
10/05/1910 I schA Troch ill. Slept for 2 nights near the window. And we've got just grating and more nicho. So cold pretty tough. Well begged the doctor tablets being treated. Incidentally, the "contours" of SWNT showed a plot of solidarity actions berlinstkih anarchists in us.Well, naturally speaker and durnalist all crap in the best traditions of ONT, but fact is fact - it happened on the international level!
10/09/1910 Generally we are here every day looking all sorts of miserable series. At the very fact, cases lacking here, it's ridiculous to say "free time" in which I would just lay on the shkonare and did not know what to do, almost none. In Perutz ochere answering letters, reading and outlines the book (now - Nietzsche), undertook to read the New Testament, teaching English to political scientists, began to play chess.
...Smokers in our hut half, and they smoke in a corner, so do not create a nuisance, especially in the hut proper ventilation. Charge I pradva yet to do, since ill. But I shall be whole, be sure to start friction on IVSe I do every day to 2 times the friction.
13/10/1910 This just came from a walk where no one went for about 10 days because ill. Although the walk - it loudly: lead us into a concrete box 2x2 meters, where we were an hour. The roof is not there, see the sky in a cage - that was all walk:)
12/10/1910 Days fly fast - one after another.So far to me nobody goes, except for a lawyer and was not interrogated. But letters come regularly, today, for example, it's as much as 5. Many good people e zbyvayut and write, that is good news.
... What I most like to do here, so read this letter and respond to them.
10/24/1910 I must clarify about the letters. You probably know that they inexplicably delayed, and some disappear altogether, as, for example, it is unclear where the missing two letters to my mother only came third. In this regard, I wrote a letter to get an appointment with the chief prison and to inform him of this fact.
...Well you are lucky with the inmates that they were not snoring. I have sometimes betrayed in such a way that we had to wake up. Helped for long. Once, in general, waking at night, I heard snoring coming from the neighboring house. This count up how to snore!
Another difference Ives, though symbolic, is that there is a call once a day - in the morning. Here are 4: 6.00-lift, 8.00 - morning inspection, 20.00 - evening checking 22.00 - a retreat. Most cuts down call at 22.00, which is often ring when it is already asleep. But now I understand the meaning of the phrase "to serve a from start to finish."
...As I said earlier, the table quietly go on walks. Sometimes, as well as from behind the bars shows the sun shining straight into his face, standing there then greeshsya himself as lizard:)
... I've been under a zero haircut. It's practical because the bath once a week and 3 days already beginning to scratch his head, picked up, wiped with a towel - and nishtyak ....
Here shkonari not as IVSe 2 layers, and 3, and I sleep on tretem.Ne complaining, just one that places little. But nikakogomeltesheniya quietly.
... This month I flew quite quickly.In fact, here, in an isolated world, the perception of time and reality is another. Dvolno peculiar state, as if some sort of prolonged sleep. As if living in a parallel world that lives entirely different concepts, needs, needs. Often imagine how I would have prishodit adaptation to normal life.
25.10.1910 Tomorrow, the city court appeal panel will consider my complaint at the abolition of preventive measures. At the same appellate panel was in its time and my Dad.I think sometimes - not executed if there a kind of conservation law of equilibrium, so to speak, of universal justice: my Dad for over 15 years worked as a judge and send people to prison. And now I'm in jail.
27/10/1910 Recently, funny, lying on shkonare from handrail shkonarya, more of a weld directly in front of my nose protruding whiskers and a head the cockroach:) They are here quite a lot, mostly near the battery live.
11/01/1910 Glad Khimki detainees were released. They, too, sat vporyade - month 3.
... I would be glad to get me somewhere started to carry, for example, to court - mirth.By the way, here are the orders - court sessions usually start at 10.00 and taken away from the house at 6.00, is taken to a 9.00 in all the time before that sitting in a decanter! so the courts to convict, as a rule, the whole day.
02/11/1910 as I said, flexing nchal chess. and here was first published in a draw and then to lose it all the time. I do not have enough patience to think through everything:)
11/06/1910 Do not worry, I will reserve my strength is not exhausted, I will not be able to intimidate anyone, and the worst has already happened. It remains only to be silent and wait.I am sure, the denouement is near.
09/11/1910 Sitting in the camp is better than in prison - that's a fact. Because the jail - this camera system of detention in the camp is more freedom in everything. Osidevshie on year in jail on arrival in the camp came to delight:) I'm not talking about a date. Furthermore, it is not the fact that I appoint a custodial sentence.
I've been svotryu telly, I saw that severely beaten in Moscow, Oleg Kashin, a journalist who wrote, including a youth movement. What a nete write about this?
11/14/1910 I am writing to you already from Zhodino.Posting here for me was a complete surprise. Thought before the court will sit in Volodarka. But he can for the better - a change of scenery:)
... Stage was normal. Of course, straining, but I even somehow got used to, so feel normal. Even a little nap in the car. About 11 am we were picked up in the house. Hut I have in terms of the normal contingent (mainly small criminals, but the EU-prevohody). In everyday terms - not even no telly. So far, the main disadvantage is that during the search, I took all the books, the type is not allowed.A statement, so I gave them.
Yesterday and today, count up, we had no water in the house - almost half of the day. They say that some sort of accident happened. That has only recently incorporated. I even did not want to write - so dirty and unwashed was that pen and paper did not want to take:)
In general it is a prison for Volodarka do not like. The main difference is probably that day on shkonaryah can not sleep, lie down and sit with their feet.
Do me in the house 12 people, 10 of them smokers.
17/11/1910 Here I am, as you know, the information is completely oterzan, so expect when newspapers will start to come.There is almost nothing to do, cut off from the books, no telly. Here I think to continue to learn to draw, and even book a textbook, I was taken away, will still make an attempt:)
11.21.1910 We are here with fellow inmates in the "Mafia" game:) What I remember once offered on the will to play - did not agree. And ere very much inclined. Rzhem evening, somehow to brighten their existence:)
11/25/1910 ongoing saga with my books. Today, during the search I was summoned to the head of the correctional work with him, I had a conversation from which I learned:
- Books I can not give
- He was very annoyed that I turned to the warden, who asked that question to him.
...Today a haircut "on zero". Walk, spangles skull:)
... About hygiene - getting to shake the crumbs then nobody should be - it goes in on duty. The room cleanliness. Floors are cleaned 2 times a day. 2 times a week - spring-cleaning, even the walls wipe:) This is not kakby obyazalovke but encouraged. Feeding a little better here in the sense that they give more meat Troch. Times were pasta with stewed meat or stew was more than pasta.Each day, give fish paste. Bone, partly milled:)
12/02/1910's already 3 months have passed since my imprisonment. I think that when closed, three days later marry. But it turned out a bit more:) Now the state of my so-so, the temperature. Seek assistance and, most importantly, bed rest.
... Yards for a walk here, by the way, a little more. Offhand somewhere 7h4.
... Cold, when a lawyer came. First 10 minutes are the cellars, more precisely, an underground tonnlyam, and in the office at all bitter cold - even in cold jacket.
12/07/1910 I am writing from the infirmary, where I was transferred on Friday.Here we have hut for 4 people. All except me are smoking. But you can open a window. Mode here Troch easier - there's even a quiet hour:) Meal give more, and in the morning even bring butter and eggs (if that).
In general, there is good. Otsyayus, while there is a possibility. Yesterday the whole day listening to the AHL on All-Belarusian Assembly. I heard him say: "have already found those who threw bottles at the Russian embassy, and they have already confessed." See how well we police work:)
...often lie at bedtime, I recall my childhood ... Remember all their lives previous. So is good to leave in their remembrance and forgetting where you are.
... Haircut for a zero here is the most popular. I also thought that to go to court so it will be very cool and nice, but only a judge can not zakotirovat:) Although, in combination with sportshtanami jacket and a Mercedes-Benz would finally can smartly:)
