Alyosha childhood
On a sunny morning in September 1965 in a family of simple engineer Sergei Alexandrovich Negodyaeva born firstborn Alyosha. The family was just over the moon with this unprecedented, universal happiness, fallen on them from the sky! It was definitely a long-awaited child, whose wife Sarah Negodyaeva Moiseevna Liberson beg for long evenings and nights with his Jewish God Yahweh. Finally, Jehovah heard her frantic pleas! The child was a miracle as well! Belenky, blue-eyed, with golden curls touching on the delicate visochkah. Boy without undue controversy parents named Alyosha, because the engineer H-sky aircraft factory Sergey Kaminey was an ardent fan of the heroic war veteran pilot selflessly to recapture all the Great Patriotic War on prostheses on both legs, Alexei Maresiev.
As it usually happens in such mixed marriages, immediately got an edge on the future of religion boy. Sarah Moiseevna, of course, was a Jewess since birth. Sergey Kaminey same as assumed when the Soviet Communists, was a convinced atheist. After much debate, the parents, all the same, went on mutual compromise - Alexis decided to include in the synagogue, but he did not make the cutoff. This parent compromise for the sake of the long-awaited child of Love, as you notice, dear reader, will play in the future of Alexis fatal role, predetermining it is very difficult and very future relationship with the Jewish and Russian worlds.
Aleshkino childhood was happy and cloudless as the majority of Soviet children. Alesha appeared younger brother Yuri about two years. Brothers Negodyaevy were very similar to each other, almost twins. But, nevertheless, there was one striking difference between these two boys: it is - an amazing eye elder brother; prickly, cold, cruel like a cobra ready to throw deadly. These strange eyes Alyosha, so hard is clearly not age, even frightened his parents! And what can we then talk about other people!
Alesha grew ordinary Soviet boy. Like all boys, recklessly drove in football, shooting a slingshot on the wheel, pulled girls' pigtails. However, since early childhood, he began to show sudden bouts of uncontrolled aggression. One day, he was very frightened of their peers, when for no reason, while playing football in a fit of fury seized a stray cat, to my misfortune is not the time to run across the football field, the tail, and with all the dope hit her head on the concrete fence. The unfortunate animal immediately gave up the ghost, and Alyosha's face lit up at this moment, how - the eerie, captivating devilish smile!
Aleshkina parents worked on H-sky aircraft factory - the only city-forming enterprises of the military-industrial complex. It is understood that the company was specifically protected sensitive sites, which under special scrutiny intelligence services were not only the employees of the company, but also their close relatives. Therefore, when Alyosha at age 14 became apparent quite understandable interest in his Jewish origin, I think that most Soviet secret services, and their parents, of course, first of all, very very much so would not like that "curious" the boy began to secretly run at the local synagogue. Alesha really made friends with the local rabbi Jacob who in H-sky Jewish beau monde was known as a very enlightened and very - preochen wise man. Boy with a special reverent attention, that was clearly not at his age, listened to almost all lectures and Shabbat prayers Rabbi Jacob of the origin of the Jewish religion, the role of Jews in the world historical process, the arrival of the long-awaited Jewish king - Savior Messiah. Alyoshka always liked this expressive manner of giving Rabbi Jacob is quite specific and very difficult for the perception of religious material, which, thanks to the talent of the lecturer, the boy ran into the memory of a lifetime.
Synagogue Rabbi Jacob was right on the shores of the sacred Lake Baikal. Baikal is like a giant magnet, always magically attracted all living things, regardless of their nationality and religion. Turquoise lake water was so dense and elastic, it seemed, the water can be easily cut with a knife on huge pieces of fatty giant completely terrestrial, space cake. Alyosha, as long as he remembered from his childhood, was fanatically in love with Baikal, love to unconsciousness. He could spend hours alone sit on the banks of the sacred lake, peering into the clear depths of his mysterious fascinating waters. At this moment his whole being seemed to be completely dissolved in the plasma of the lake, and an innate mystical consciousness Alyosha suddenly covered inexplicable, almost religious awe!
Especially beautiful Baikal was early autumn. A rich palette of colors fading nature combined with a turquoise glow of the magic of the lake was a joy to the eye even emotionally deprived man, reminding him a sinner, that the Creator, still, was and remains the greatest artist - impressionist in this whole vast universe!
On one of those sunny days in September Alyosha suddenly I decided to go to his friend Rabbi at the synagogue. Rabbi Jacob spent the next church service. In the synagogue that day there were very few people. Alyosha, of course, knew all the congregation of Jacob knew without exception; almost like family members. Alyosha knew and loved this rather shocking manner Jacob sermon, Rabbi but this time was clearly in shock and surpassed himself. He quoted freely from memory clever texts of the Talmud, while being raised by his own eloquence, falling into religious ecstasy, and almost like the Fuhrer, Adolf, now and then breaking into a nasty high-pitched squeal.
"So, my brothers! What I can tell you about how to behave with the gentiles! - Jacob said, piercing with his listeners the fiery withering gaze. - Remember, brethren, that our holy Talmud considers the theft of the Jew as a very serious offense, which is followed by an immediate expulsion from the community. But in relation to the goyim, brothers, it is - well, I tell you! For example, Law 21 reads as follows: "Do not be a
