In September 1985, my frightened neighbor, my university friend Misha Tatyanin, came running to my house and told me a "terrible" secret: it turns out that on September 1 there was an enlarged board at the party's regional committee, attended by Misha's father, the editor of a large regional newspaper. At the collegium, the first secretary of the regional committee of the CPSU, Popov, made a report and told the audience about the state of affairs on the ideological front of the Altai Territory. At the same time, he read out a certificate prepared by the KGB, from which it followed that the students of SF Voronin and Korobkov were expelled from the university for the anti-Soviet work "Mankina Love" together with 30 "punks" from the Pedagogical Institute. Thus, San Palych decided to reinsure, giving in extreme false information about our deduction from the ASU. This incident with Alexander Pavlovich Vlasov and his powerful organization was exhausted.
All this time, while we were "hammering" with San Palych, we were supported, as they could, by our good university friends - Kolya Makeyev and Yura Korchak.
Kolya Makeyev (Makesha), born in a family of ordinary workers and without any serious social support from outside, did everything himself in life. He became, forever spitefully "croaking" to doctors, an excellent fighter, although he had a congenital heart disease; He made an excellent career for that time on the Komsomol line, although he had neither "pusher" nor, as it is customary to call now, any serious "sponsors". In addition, Makesh with all the power of his passionate nature selflessly loved animals and birds, which were always abounded in his house, which already says a lot - an evil and cruel person can not so much like animals as he did Kolya Makeyev. He very early, from high school, began his conscious journey along the Komsomol line; And, went very persistently and purposefully for a nondescript teenager from the working family, rising to the secretary of the Komsomol organization of the university. Despite the career growth so rapid for that time, this did not affect his human qualities at all - Makeda was and remains a generous, kind and sympathetic comrade; Even now, when he rose to the first deputy prosecutor of the Republic of Khakassia. Yura Korczak came to us on a law faculty from the Barnaul Higher Military Flight School, which then trained pilots for assault aviation. In the second year of the school, he seriously contracted a kidney and was written off for health reasons. The disease greatly affected Yura's character; Yes, and this is understandable - permanent renal colic and associated with nephritis intoxication of anyone you want will lead to rabies. Despite constant irritation and quick temper, Yura was and remains a good companion, and just a good person. Unfortunately, Fate struck him with a terrible, crushing blow - Korczak several years ago became ill with multiple sclerosis, and today this terrible disease is firmly bedridden in the city of Kherson, which is in Ukraine.
We met each other in the second year, and, since then, became friends "do not pour water," in the literal sense of the word. Always and everywhere we were together. Our general student life is replete with such "epoch-making" events as: cleaning the multistage Gothic roof of the Rossiya cinema from the snow in March 1984 (Oleg and I used this experience for our future service in the army very much), numerous trips to restaurants and "girls" "(Here I already" banked ", as often, in the evenings, in the" dead "season for musicians, moonlighting as a" session "keyboardist in the restaurants" Central "and" Siberia "); An extreme alloy on a holey plywood boat along the Ob River, which had just been freed from the April ice, from the Ob basement camp to Bobrovka village, which then nearly ended badly - and much more, which sometimes with nostalgia and great warmth is remembered by "fighters" With rare, especially in recent times, friendly meetings.
"To go for girls" - on our, only to us four intelligible slang, meant "to descend into" Cockerel ". This legendary ice cream shop on Lenin Avenue near the cinema "Russia" has long been famous in Barnaul for the unusual accessibility of girls of very "easy" behavior (apparently, at the time of the opening of the "Cockerel" in 1984, the peak of the "sexual revolution" in Barnaul had happened) Which were always there a lot every night, with a bored look waiting patiently at their tables next erotic adventure. For us, it was just a kind of usual hunting, only without guns (we will start hunting with Metsha only in 1998, and we are still doing this) and not on waterfowl, as usual, but on some previously unknown scientists Fauna called "girls from the" Cockerel ". Surprisingly, in this "sexual hunt" of the four of us, Yura Korczak was particularly successful. Obviously, there was in him some kind of charisma - something that energetically irresistibly attracted representatives of the fair sex. As a winner, he always got the most "tidbit" place - my room with a wide bed, where he could indulge in sexual pleasures until the very morning. We, the three "losers", had to share a relatively small room in the hall for three. The places in the "reserved seat", at the same time, were traditionally distributed as follows: The make-up got a very narrow space between the sofa and the storeroom, for which we called it "pent-up master"; The box was comfortably located with the partner on the couch, somehow standing on four piles of book volumes because of the lack of legs; Well, I, your humble servant, modestly fit with the next, got to me a passion on the floor near the piano.
