The apartment was filled with wonderful people. These were crystals of St. Petersburg alcohol trash. They were sincere in their actions, honest in their desires. You won't find boors or hacks there. There were no snickering cattle or Maromoi. These are people who have sunk to the bottom and have found freedom in something else. They could be honest bullies, scoundrels, maniacs, funny, unsightly alcoholics, good-natured people and unlucky thieves. Among them were an architect, an artist, and a very large businessman who previously had photos in his album with the powers that be. But today I want to tell you about my grandfather. I don’t remember his name, and no one called him by name. Let it be simple - Grandfather.

He appeared in the second year of our life in St. Petersburg. As he later told us, Grandfather was released from prison. For some very terrible crime, he went to prison at the age of eighteen and left at fifty. What he did there, Grandfather did not tell anyone. He occupied an empty room and immediately took charge of the common toilet. His legs were like wheels, as if he had been riding a hippopotamus since early childhood. When moving, he used two crutches, which he deftly used in fights with his neighbors. Grandfather's nose was broken several times and was a squiggle in the shape of the English letter "S".

Assholes, bastards, degenerates! - this is how every morning began. Grandfather got up at six o'clock and, rattling his crutches, washed away the vomited and soiled push from the previous day. We heard everything because we lived next to the toilet.

Having finished his morning chores, Grandfather went to the synagogue. The synagogue stood on a nearby street and its presence greatly affected the life of the Admiralteysky district. In addition to the fact that it fed the goyim who were drawn to Judaism, Orthodox Christians from all over the city came here in hordes.

Excuse me, do you happen to have a cigarette to enjoy? - a young Jew once asked me on the street with a characteristic burr.

I silently handed him the pack. The Semite quickly put the cigarette behind his ear.

Oh, thank you, thank you! Are you by any chance going to a synagogue?

This was too much even for me, and my shoe struck the half-ass of the quickly running away young man. But this is so, a sketch. She has nothing to do with Grandfather.

Returning from the synagogue, Grandfather talked to us for a long time about the advantages of being Jewish.

Adam was a Jew, which means we are all Jews. Where your bread is, there is your home.

That’s what he thought, and we didn’t beat him for it. We respected gray hairs, no matter whose head they adorned. But the cunning Grandfather still did not abandon Orthodoxy and, for the sake of a bonus snack, visited all the churches located in the area.

I must say that in our communal apartment I stopped being “languid” every evening. This is why I love the time spent in it. Firstly, for every drunkard architect, artist and businessman there were three alcoholic women. The drunkards wandered from hand to hand at least once a week. The moving process was accompanied by fights, scandals, ambulances and police. Secondly, we lived in the apartment with a stormy alcoholic and sexual life, bringing a bunch of friends and girlfriends. Thirdly, from the age of eighteen until the age of fifty, Grandfather did not see, touch or have women.

Around six o'clock in the evening, Grandfather dressed up in an old Soviet jacket, stuffed two or three bottles of Snezhinki (window cleaner) into his pockets and went to the Moscow station. Sometimes he returned late in the evening with a catch in the form of a dirty and smelly station homeless woman.

But don’t think that he has fallen so low, no. I don’t know what he did with the professionals in his room and I don’t want to know, but before visiting his little room, the lady had to go through an initiation process, which consisted of two stages. To begin with, Grandfather washed his chosen one in street clothes in a full bath of cold water, and then he initiated her into some kind of peculiar mix of Orthodoxy and Judaism. He did this on the “chair of enlightenment” (as we called it), which stood in the corridor opposite our door.

The homeless woman kicked into a chair and Grandfather asked:

Do you believe in our Christ Jesus?

What are you doing, absolutely?! - the frightened drunkard muttered.

This is not how you should answer, sinner! - the grandfather answered patiently and hit her liver with a crutch.

I ask again, do you believe in our Creator, will you observe the laws of kashrut?

I-I believe... I will... - she began to mutter in fear.

I don't believe you! You're lying! - answered our Stanislavsky and hit the fucker with a crutch!

I ask again, do you believe...

I believe, I believe, don’t fuck me!

At that moment, the homeless woman realized that a real asshole had come to her.

Do not skimp before the face of the Lord! - Grandfather said solemnly and treated the homeless woman with a crutch once again. But softer.

By the end of their initiation, the professionals in acting began to be head and shoulders above the recognized Moscow Art Theater maromoyeks. Convincing my grandfather of his sincere faith and love for the Lord was very, very difficult. Sometimes it took up to a dozen blows with a magic crutch for a fallen woman to inflame with fierce love for the Almighty. And only after this two-step initiation, the homeless woman became kosher and began to be suitable for her grandfather’s love pleasures.

But one day Grandfather suffered a puncture. The initiation process went the wrong way from the very beginning. The lady desperately did not want to wash herself. Grandfather had already filled a bath of cold water and poured Pemolux into it. But he wasn’t very successful in pushing a healthy homeless woman into the bathroom, even armed with crutches. The bitch bit, scratched, destroyed furniture in the bathroom and called for help. It happened late at night.

Heart-rending screams woke me up. I stood up and opened the door, intending to rein in the old lecher. But at the same moment, the professional woman gave the grandfather a coconut and walked out of the bathroom to where her eyes, corroded by the pemolux, were looking.

Of course, she decided that the door was opening to save her. I didn’t even have time to say a word when a wet, disheveled and howling creature rushed past me into the room and ducked under the bed of the sleeping Kolyan.

Eeeee! What the f*ck? - I was indignant. - Well, let's get the fuck out of here!

The homeless woman howled even louder from under the bed. Then Kolyan woke up. He immediately realized that there was someone under his bed. No wonder, damn it. Comrade jumped up in fear on the bed and, fearing to lower his feet to the floor, stared at me with the eyes of a crap mouse. I spread my hands. There's nothing to do, you'll have to pick it out. Grandfather, writhing in pain, hobbled into the room.

Grandfather, and grandfather, what kind of concert is that? - I asked indignantly.

Grandfather - fuck him! Lyokha, help me get it. She awakened my passion.

Japanese policeman! - I sighed. Taking my grandfather’s crutch away, I began poking it at the homeless woman screaming like a devil from the underworld. She realized that we were members of the same sect and suddenly jumped out on all fours from under the bed. Without changing her position, howling desperately, she, as in films about exercism on four limbs, rushed out of the room and, drifting around the turn, disappeared at the end of the corridor. The room smelled like shit. Then Kolyan shit himself from fear. I, too, would have shit myself if I were him, not knowing the backstory behind the appearance of this creature under my bed.

I pushed my grandfather out and went to bed. Kolyan is not small, he can clean himself. The long-awaited silence came. Only at the end of the corridor was the measured hum of the grandfather heard. He used a “Snowflake” to lure the homeless woman out of the closet. I don’t know how he did it, but after about an hour the homeless woman found herself in the bathroom again, and the process began again.

You want to wash me and then rape me! - she screamed, throwing our toothbrushes at Grandfather. Naive, she didn’t know about the chair yet.

Then Dimon, who had been sleeping in his headphones, woke up from the smell of shit. His sleep suddenly disappeared, and he joined his grandfather’s game. Dima put on his security guard uniform (he worked part-time every other night) and went to the bathroom to sort things out.

Police Lieutenant Sydorenko! We have heard a rumor that irresponsible citizens do not comply with the federal program for washing out antisocial elements?!

You will wash me and rape me! - already hesitantly, embarrassed by the presence of a man in uniform, the professional worker mumbled.

Have you seen yourself in the mirror, creature?! - Dimon was offended. - Quickly wash!

The fake cop and Grandfather took the limp homeless woman under her arms and dipped her into the bathtub. The initiation process went like clockwork. To accept faith, she only needed five crutches. But if Ksenia Sobchak had been in her place with her acting skills, she would have fucking died!

This time everything went well for Grandfather. But no matter how much the rope twists, the end will still be found.

One day, when the four of us were sitting in the kitchen and preparing a late dinner, Grandfather came home in the company of a decent-looking woman, a girl of about ten, and a certain gray-haired individual in tattoos, who introduced himself as the king of the homeless of the Moscow station. I don’t remember exactly his “position” right now. Either he was the king of the homeless, or of thieves, or of beggars. It was clear that he had great respect for himself and his subsequent actions made us feel the same way about him.

The king shook hands with everyone in the kitchen and said:

This woman and the girl were left abandoned at my station. They have no money, no home, no relatives, no documents (it was 2001 and there were a lot of such stories at that time, and they still exist now. Author). I have nothing to take from them, and look at them yourself, which of them are beggars? I don’t need them there, but it’s a shame to drive them away. This bastard,” he pointed to Grandfather, “said that he could shelter them.” I don't trust people, I came to check. Don't pay any attention to me. I'll sit in the kitchen.

We immediately assured the King that entrusting Grandfather with decent people was not the best idea. But he decided to check everything himself. I took out more plates, and we fed the mother and daughter. The king politely refused. After dinner, Grandfather and his newfound family went to settle into the room, and the King and I remained in the kitchen. It was obvious that he was having fun with us. He showed us tricks with cards, coins, clocks, and told funny stories. The night was very unusual and educational. I’ve never met such interesting characters before and I’m unlikely to meet them again.

Guys, go to bed. - he finally said. - I'll look after my grandfather.

We went to our room and fell asleep. We got up at ten o'clock in the morning. Having quickly dressed, we went out into the corridor and headed towards the exit. The door to grandfather's room was open. Grandfather was lying on his back with his mouth open. His swollen face and the entire floor were covered in blood, and two teeth were stuck to his cheek. The woman and child were not in the room. I walked up to him and pushed him with my foot. Grandfather groaned.

Grandfather, and Grandfather, who fucked you up like that? - asked Kolyan.

Druuug...

What friend?

Druuug roll up the cotton wool! - Grandfather groaned. - Go to the pharmacy, guys.

There is nothing to do, we must go. The kitchen was located opposite the exit from the apartment. The King was sitting in the kitchen. Seeing us, he stood up.

Hi guys. You finally woke up. Don't make a fuss, I'm the one who fucked him. I'm sitting in the kitchen, silence. Suddenly a child screamed. I rushed there, and this bitch knocked out the mother and pestered the girl. Thought I left. You saw for yourself what I did to him for this. They will be safe at my station. I'll arrange them. And I waited to warn you. There's no trash there...

Then we realized why this Grandfather could be imprisoned. We didn't go to the pharmacy. They disdained to communicate with Grandfather any further. And he calmed down and only rattled buckets in the toilet in the morning. And he swore:

Assholes, bastards, degenerates...

I moved out of this apartment in the fall of 2003. The last time it came back to haunt me was in 2007, when on Sennaya I met a former influential businessman, the sorcerer Misha, already familiar to you from one of my stories. He was wearing a plush gray jacket that had disappeared from me in those fun times. I didn’t ask him about Grandfather.

All day long Vaska did nothing but lie on the sofa, sleep, eat and lazily stretch. And everything would be fine if he were a cat or at least a dog. But he is a real person, with arms and legs, but in the process without a head, figuratively speaking.

Such Vasya and Petya, apparently he is the continuer of the great traditions of those same Vaneks, who spent half their lives lying on the stove and waiting for everything to work out for them, and for miracles to burst into their lives. This happened to some of these same Vaneks, and these lucky ones were captured for us by Russian fairy tales. History is silent about who the miracles spared, so we cannot make a chart or determine the percentage of the darlings of fate for those times. But we can say that if the percentage of those who wait for miracles without leaving the oven has remained unchanged, then the number of those who did not wait for these miracles has become much larger, in direct proportion to population growth.

So what are these darlings of the Russian stove waiting for?

The point is clear, they are waiting for the right moment. If you start acting earlier, nothing will come of it, and if you are late, then nothing good will happen either. But more often than not, this is just an excuse, and the reason for “lying on the stove” is simply not the desire to do anything.

Where does this inability or unwillingness to act come from? (this question is very relevant for me specifically)

Life is pain

The first thing that comes to mind in this case is dissatisfaction with any area of ​​life. For example, work, if it is boring, does not give any pleasure, only entails degradation and turns life into continuous hard labor. I never understood the job of a security guard, where you walk around all day, knead rolls, moving from place to place, and amuse yourself with your phone or crossword puzzles. Family life may not be satisfying either, if your wife and children become your jailers and imprison you in a cozy, family nest. But sometimes you really want freedom of action, thoughts and desires. And when these or other factors turn life into torture, all that remains is to go into the world of dreams or just climb onto the stove and wait. You can, like Ilyusha Muromets, say that your legs have given up, so that no one touches you at all. Life is pain.

On the other hand, how can you lie on the stove or do nothing when you are not satisfied with something in life? Isn’t this what most often serves as motivation for action? If you don’t like something, go and make it so that you like it. It turns out that the issue here is something else.

Maybe a loss of taste for life? Laziness and boredom. Let's talk a little about them.

“When you are still a child, all this appears before your eyes, knocks on your ears and makes an amazing impression. Always like the first time. Now you know all the names, titles and categories. This is good, and this is bad, here is a table, there is a chair, a car, a house, a flower, and so on. Gradually you become bored, because the surrounding objects exist for you only as names. Dry and narrow concepts of the mind throw a veil over you, making it difficult to perceive. Now you look at everything through a veil of associations, relative to things. It seems to you that you have already seen it all! It's like watching the same movie for the 20th time. You're getting bored. Because you only see memories of objects. Boredom is a fundamental inability to comprehend life. Therefore, before you can regain your senses, you must completely lose your mind.” Dan Millman

I don't know about losing your mind, but you have to do something about it. Losing your mind sounds too abstract and more like a literary device than some kind of solution. But there is something else, a much clearer and more accurate understanding of why many people roll cotton wool.

What does “rolling cotton wool” mean?

In general, the expression “roll cotton wool” or “vatokat” is more typical of youth slang. Although in fact, this phrase, or more precisely the concept, like many others that we use in everyday life, has a prison origin. The process of rolling small pieces of cotton wool into thin sticks to ignite tobacco products from an incandescent lamp in a chamber. Usually low-caste criminals do this, hence the phrase: “Damn, roll up the cotton wool!”

I think our mentality is to blame, one of the most surprising features of which is the cult of idleness. It’s not that people in the USA or other countries are very hardworking, but nowhere is idleness cultivated, not approved, or boasted about, as it is in Russia.

Having worked a little in public catering, I can say that there was, and still most likely is, some special chic in “putting out” or sidestepping work by transferring it to someone else. The funniest thing was listening to people in smoking rooms and kitchens. These people talk about their victories on the idle fronts as military exploits. Willingly, you begin to adapt so as not to be the one on whom they dump all the work that can be dumped.

How cool it was that bosses, teachers, parents, stupid clients were fooled, and how cool it was to snatch a good piece for yourself without doing anything.

The ideal for these people is a person who sits at work all day at the computer and resolves the situation around him so that he is paid a salary for it, despite the fact that he is of no use.

At the same time, listeners quietly admire such stories, and when they try to insert something like “but I worked for half a year and finally managed to install automatic machines at the Renault plant,” they respond with sluggish nods, saying, why are you telling us about “work” here? We have “life” here now!

Doing something to get a sponsorship contract or a contract with a backer is even considered somehow incorrect; those who were approached by the sponsors themselves are held in high esteem, and they accepted the offer while lying on the couch.

I think it’s easy to understand that this attitude permeates everything from head to toe. It is these people who have been producing the same Fiat model in our country for 50 years, killing their fellow citizens in accidents. They are the ones who build houses that begin to crumble 2 years after construction, saving on cheap labor from Central Asia. They are the ones who build roads that cost more than American ones and are similar in quality to Egyptian ones. They are everywhere.

It is these people who take bribes, and then, just as you tell how they fooled the professor’s finger and cheated during the session, they also tell their acquaintances and friends how coolly they stole. And no one spits in their faces, does not consider them insignificant, just as they do not consider the student who bought the test to be insignificant. Reality changes, miserable insignificant actions become normal, accepted and correct.

In the country cult of idleness. Anyone who does anything, much less achieves anything, is considered a leper and is not loved. Storytellers are held in high regard about how great it is for them to sit in the office for 12 hours a day on VKontakte, and how cool it is for them to stay at work for 6 months while receiving a salary.

Take action

And here, unlike the previous post, specific actions are needed here. And nothing around will change until everyone takes responsibility for what is happening around them. After all, it’s easier to blame everything on the government and do nothing. But even if our country has a super adequate government, it will not be able to change the people themselves.

It seems to me that many things in this world become possible, or at least accelerated, if someone tries to contribute and encourage the movement. We need to get off our favorite stove, go and do something. The only way.

P.S. Oh, and I like writing postscripts lately. This time I’ll leave here a short video that touches on the topic of excuses that people come up with just to not do anything.
