Life in cock huts in the zones. How do they go down in jail? The omitted use separate household items

A puny convict stepped out into the middle of the hut and, furiously scratching his face bitten by bugs, solemnly announced:

Japanese tango! Performed by Baton and Koryto!

The opponents were blindfolded and handed blades made from sharpened cuttings of aluminum spoons. After that, the command sounded:

The gimp begins!

Listening to each other's breathing and every step, the opponents carefully began to converge. The death dance began. Shredding the air with homemade knives, swearing and screaming at every hit, the bloody Baton and Koryto rushed about the barracks in disheveled cocks. However, in the hierarchy of the zone, they were. Like all spectators of the animal action.

AT THE BOTTOM

"COCK", "finished", "lowered" - this is how the convicts who find themselves on the camp bottom are called. This group of "untouchables" includes convicts over whom they have committed a violent act of sodomy.

The reasons for "sinking" are very different. The most probable candidates for the "roosters" are informers, outlaws who have not been able to pay off their card debt "fuflyzhniki", who do not monitor the hygienic cleanliness of the "chukhans".

The life of the "untouchables" is terrible. They are constantly being subjected to lecherous actions. They are kicked, as other prisoners cannot touch them with their hands. The "omitted" do not even have the right to touch things, objects, food products of other prisoners. Those who violate this law often face death. "Roosters" get the dirtiest, unskilled jobs.

"Down" is obliged to carry a spoon with a drilled handle in his breast pocket. The same "coat of arms" marks the dining cisterns, bowls, mugs of the "untouchables". Even a point in the toilet is allocated for them a separate one. Any convict who has relieved himself of the need for a "cock's heap" immediately becomes "untouchable" himself.

In order to avoid beatings, mutilations, murders in all correctional institutions, the administration is forced to form a separate detachment from the "roosters", which is assigned the last number in the camp.

Years of inhuman humiliation led to the fact that the "untouchables" often went crazy or simply laid hands on themselves. And the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the former USSR decided on a radical experiment ...

The colony has become a real hell. Almost immediately, bloody showdowns began with stabbing, mutilation, torture, murder and ... rape. "Roosters" began to form a new clan of "untouchables" in the special zone.

In the struggle for leadership, the "omitted" formed communities, groups based on ethnicity or according to articles of the Criminal Code, etc. The resulting clans waged war with each other, almost for destruction. The enemy could be forced to "dance the cancan", that is, jump on the stumps of the legs severed to the knee. They could simply castrate so that they could not "let down" a convict from another clan.

"Roosters" drowned "roosters" in the shit of cesspools. Forced to eat and drink their own feces and urine. Ears were cut off, eyes were gouged out, limbs were broken with an iron crowbar. As in the Wild West, scalping was widely practiced. The only difference is that the scalp was removed from the skull of a living person ...

In a short time, the "rooster" Ural special colony has become the most fierce zone in the country. The experiment failed in all directions. On the one hand, the slaves showed what they were capable of. On the other hand, the caste of "roosters" in other colonies was never eliminated. Instead of the exported "untouchables", new ones immediately appeared. But what is interesting, none of them tried to transfer to the Ural "special lute" to their fellow misfortunes ...

This is not exactly a dictionary, but not quite a list of "slang" words, which there are so many on the web. Here are just a few of the thieves' jargon. Words that have a different meaning in prison jargon than in common spoken language are marked with the letter "t", the professional slang of employees of correctional institutions and operational services of internal affairs bodies (UR, BEP, BOP, NON) - with the letter "c", official terms and abbreviations - the letter "o".

Authority (t) - representative of the highest group in the informal hierarchy of prisoners.
The informal order in the zone is extremely authoritarian, therefore the real situation in the shadow life of penitentiary institutions, pre-trial detention centers or their part (cell, PKT, punishment cell, etc.) is determined by the personal qualities of those in power. authorities and the link with authorities in the wild or in other penitentiary institutions, as well as the tactics followed by local operatives. In common spoken Russian, the word authority is more often used in the meaning of "influence", and is opposed in meaning to the word "power", but does not complement it. Power exists in the space of formal structures, influencing people through a system of statuses, prestige, positions, sanctions. Authorityin most cases they submit voluntarily.

Authoritative (t) - a prisoner with a high status in one of two groups (suits) of the informal hierarchy of prisoners: thieves and men. It is not used in relation to representatives of such informal groups as goats, devils, omitted.

Jamb (r) - 1) Violation of the rules, norms of the prison law; 2) Armband of a member of the SPF or other section with the corresponding abbreviation. Most often blue;
3) Unsuccessful action or deed; 4) A cigarette or a roll with marijuana.

Kosyachny (t) - a person who constantly commits acts that contradict the generally accepted norms in the prison community.

Red zone - the zone where the administration rules with the help of goats and, regardless of prison law, for example, tries to put those who are lowered in the dining room at common tables, requires prisoners to walk in formation to and from the dining room, prohibits movement around zone, entrance to other people's barracks, etc.
In such a zone, activists have broad powers and can behave very aggressively, spying on each other, denunciations, petty nagging about the behavior and clothing of prisoners are encouraged.

Red (t) - a euphemism for goat .

A circle - education is broader than family or kentovka; is formed most often according to the principle of community.

Wing (put on wing) - a bandage on the sleeve, signifying the entry of the prisoner into assets, i.e., in prison jargon, in goats.

Covered (t, s) - A prison-type correctional institution for those convicted of serious crimes or sent to prison by order of a court from ITC for systematic violations of the regime of detention.

Ksiva (t) - 1) Note, letter. It is transmitted illegally from cell to cell, from camp to camp, from prison to freedom and vice versa. Often contains important information about events and persons, sometimes - the instructions of the authoritative. Ksivs there are also purely personal content. Permanent communication between camps and prisons scattered throughout the country is carried out with the help of ksiv... Synonym - malyava, malyavka;
2) Document, identity card.

Kum (t) - employee of the operational unit ITU or SIZO.

Kumovskaya mutka, kumovskaya grass - provocations arranged in the zone by operatives to achieve their goals.

Hipezh (kipezh) - unrest, turmoil, rebellion started by prisoners against the administration, or the administration against prisoners.

Shkvarnoy (t) - the same as omitted.

Shkonka, shkonar (t) - bed. In the prison there is a bed, welded from metal pipes and strips, embedded in the floor; often two- or three-tiered. By number drawer usually judged on the size and capacity of the chambers.

Skin - prison jacket.

Skin (t) - denunciation, report on another prisoner.

Schmon (t, s) - search.

Shnyr(r) - 1) A prisoner who has taken (sometimes under pressure from other prisoners) the duty to clean the cell, barrack, production room, to do work that prisoners are required to do in turn. For this work, he receives from the prisoners themselves a certain payment in food, smoke, money.
2) Prisoners occupying positions of day-care workers (attendants, attendants, cleaners) in separate structural units of the correctional institution (punishment cell, PKT, headquarters, meeting rooms, detachments, etc.). Shnyr considered goat already by the position itself.

Spike - to spy in someone's favor, most often in favor of the administration.

Headquarters (c) - the premises of the ITK, in which the offices of the colony employees are located (chief, deputies, operational workers, etc.). Often a medical unit is located in the same room.

Stage (t) - a premise for newly arrived prisoners (escorts), where they are kept in isolation from the rest of the prisoners for several days.

The "omitted" in prison are the lowest hierarchy of prisoners.

And as soon as they are not called: "roosters", "crests", "pinches", "offended", "outcast", etc. Whatever you call them, but the fate and life of these convicts is simply terrible.

How they lower in the zone will be discussed later in the article.

According to one version, the displaced were separated into a separate prison caste after the 1961 reform, during which the camps were divided according to the severity of the detention regime. As a result, the first movers began to live in the zone separately from hardened convicts and repeat offenders..

First-movers are mostly young people who are unfamiliar with the prison foundations, but who strive to win in the competitive struggle by showing aggression, bullying physically weaker prisoners. And if more experienced prisoners did not explain to them the rules of life in prison in time, then over time their stay there becomes more and more wild.

Any prisoner can fall into the caste of the omitted. But some categories fall here automatically or with a high probability.

Help: in addition to "roosters", there is a caste of "devils" in the prison community... What these castes have in common is that both are untouchable, but devils are not used for sexual pleasure.

Why are they called roosters? Most likely, the name comes from the word "cock", which was the name of the rape process.

Roosters become completely different for different reasons.... Most often, convicts under Art. 131 of the Criminal Code (rape). Libertines, molesters and homosexuals also get here, no matter what crime they have committed.

But according to statistics for 2020, prisoners increasingly began to fall into the category of those who were omitted because of the "jambs" they committed, unworthy of the title of a prisoner. For example, a “decent” prisoner is not supposed to do work related to plumbing; this activity is exclusively for roosters.

By the way, contrary to the stereotypical opinion, the proportion of homosexuals among those who are left is not high. Most convicts become roosters for acts not related to the sexual sphere.

Usually omitted for various violations of the rules of prison life, such as:

They can also be dropped by decree of the prison administration in order to eliminate unwanted convicts from prison life. To do this, most often the victim is locked in a cockpit for the whole night. After that, the prisoner automatically goes into the category of roosters.

True, the attitude of the prison community to such offended is more or less loyal.

After the 2000s, there has been a rejection of sinking through rape. This is due to the fact that more attention has been paid to protecting the rights of prisoners, as a result of which control over the internal regulations and the way of life in correctional institutions has increased.

The life of those who are lowered in the zone is hard, and sometimes terrible... They live in a prison separately, in the so-called cockpit, where the same offended, pinches, poker players sit). This is the most despised (and by all) category of prisoners. What are they doing in prison?

Those who are left in prison are engaged in the dirtiest work: they sweep the parade ground, lokalki; wash baths, toilets; they clean the sewerage system, carry out work on the ban; remove and load garbage. There are those among those who have been left out who earn by selling themselves; they are called “offended workers”.

Regular convicts should not take food that roosters eat... Lowered from separate washbasins are washed. They are obliged to give way to other prisoners.

Representatives of other castes hardly speak to them. Communicating with a rooster for a prisoner can result in a loss of authority.

Omitters should report their status to all newbies. Concealment of such information is punishable by severe physical injury. To make it easier to identify roosters, special tattoos are applied to their bodies.

They can be lodged near the toilet, under the bed ("under the bed"), and only in large camps separate barracks are allocated for them, which are called cockpits.

The offended use separate household items... Holes are usually made in their dishes so that no one accidentally confuses the "sealed" spoons and plates with normal ones. In the smoking room, a rooster can be given a half-smoked cigarette, but in no case can you take a bull from a lowered one.

In the camp church, they are allocated separate benches, benches, and in the bathhouse - basins... If an ordinary prisoner accidentally sits at the wrong table or takes the wrong spoon, he automatically falls into the rooster caste. Even if he did not eat, did not drink from the appliances, he will still be recognized as omitted.

As soon as an ordinary prisoner finds himself among the rooster caste, he goes to any tricks to transfer from offended to the category of "normal" prisoners.

Note: the number of restrictions and prohibitions for those who are omitted depends on the type of penitentiary institution. In the colonies of strict regime, the attitude towards them is more loyal, but in the colonies for minors the wildest order reigns.

Earlier, even before the 2000s, the main duty of the omitted was the sexual satisfaction of prisoners, but now this is rarely practiced and then only on a voluntary basis.

According to the current prison rules, it is impossible to "use" the offended without compensation, without giving him a gift, so many roosters are engaged in voluntary prostitution for material reasons.

Beating the omitted is practiced only if they break the rules by which their caste is obliged to live. You can't beat a rooster with your hands, you can only kick it, which is especially humiliating.

The ritual of "transferring" an ordinary prisoner to the category of roosters has now changed... Previously, a leper prisoner was simply raped or forced to have oral sex with one of the thieves. However, after several accidents occurred with biting off "someone else's dignity", the process began to take place in a different way: the cock is slapped with a penis on the forehead or lips.

Sometimes thieves simply declare some prisoner a rooster; rumor about this quickly spreads throughout the zone, after which the prisoner can no longer wash off the stigma.

Beginners who first entered the zone should be clear about some of the rules. The key one is not to agree to a “cock” job, not to pick up a mop or a rag.

In the dining room you need to sit down with your friends and do not rush to take a free table... In some colonies things, items related to the omitted, are marked with red paint.

If a prisoner is not homosexual and has not been convicted under the "cock" articles, then he can be omitted only for malicious misconduct.

Thus, in order to avoid the fate of those left behind, the prisoner must live according to the rules of prison life, namely:

Even in prison it is worth being human, they appreciate it. Such a phenomenon as "being thrown in prison" is savagery, a relic of the country's difficult past.

However, despite the softening of the order in correctional institutions, this category of prisoners still exists, and this fact has to be put up with.

We've gotten enough talk that Western politicians and the rest of "progressive humanity" are going to boycott the Sochi Olympics because of the oppression of homosexuals in Russia. And this happens, of course, to thunderous applause and enthusiasm from the Russian opposition.

I have not been able to find a single example of so-called harassment against athletes or fans representing sexual minorities. Perhaps only a new law prohibiting them from having sex or holding gay pride parades near schools and kindergartens. This is also not recommended by law for straight people. And do the Olympians of non-traditional sexual orientation participate in the Olympic Games only with the aim of having sex near kindergartens or to campaign for a blue life there? If not, why is there such a loud hysteria and who is hindered by the law prohibiting it?

And why were the fighters for the rights of sexual minorities so hooked on the Sochi Olympics, and not, say, the strict regime camps? Because the “fight” for LGBT rights in conjunction with the Olympic Games is pure PR and big money. Please note that the “world human rights activists” of the allegedly violated rights of sex minorities in Russia are only interested in global issues that are worthy of funding and mass attention. Such as the Olympics, tours of the first persons of Russian classical music, visits of heads of state, etc. And nothing less.

I know that now the defenders of homosexuals (including Western ideological fighters, some Russian bloggers and LGBT activists) will burst out with more screams that I, they say, offend people with non-traditional sexual orientation and urge them to ignore the violation of their rights.

Hey guys! Wake up! Everything is much simpler. Why do you protect only where it is interesting and profitable for you to do it? If I'm wrong, then why don't you, as true fighters for the rights of LGBT people and other sexual minorities, start defending, say, “offended cocks” in zones or in prisons?

Don't know those? Then I'll tell you. And my words will be confirmed by everyone who, by the will of fate, visited places of imprisonment.

“Roosters”, “offended”, “lowered”, “cock's suit”, “chushkari”, “full of holes” are just a small part of the official prison camp names of persons of non-traditional sexual orientation. In fact, all these names are synonymous. Is that, there is a small nuance between "lowered" and "offended", which now, practically, does not carry a semantic load. The downcast is an open passive homosexual who has had homosexual contacts, and the offended one is the one who “grinded”, that is, shook hands with a rooster, or ate from the same plate, or used his spoon, or entered into any other close contact.

In every pre-trial detention center, prison and correctional colony there are special huts (cells, sections), the so-called "offenders", where "roosters" live separately from everyone. In large camp barracks, this is a special "cock's corner". In many zones and prisons, the "offended" have their own supervisor, from the same. He is called the "head cock". Each newly arrived convict must be informed about the whereabouts of the "offended woman" so that the newcomer does not accidentally "grind". Now, the "offended" make up about 1 - 1.5% of the total number of Russian prisoners. And this is almost 15 thousand convicts.

The "roosters" necessarily have their own bedding, which is washed separately, as well as their own dishes, which are also stored strictly separately. So that, God forbid, it doesn't get confused with dishes and linen of "decent prisoners". Otherwise, there will be big problems. Everyone has. Even on the test in the ranks of the "offended" build separately.

« Rooster ", he is" homosexual ", he is" offended "or" full of holes ", has no right:

Sit at a common table in a cell or camp canteen (for them there are separate eating areas with separate dishes and storage areas for food);
- touch food for ordinary prisoners;
- take a cigarette from a pack, touching other cigarettes, or light a cigarette from one match in front of a "decent prisoner";
- to shake hands with anyone, except for the same lowered ones;
- to file a complaint with an ordinary prisoner, since he is not an equal being. Instead of answering a complaint, he may well get hit;

"Rooster", he is "homosexual", he is "offended" or "full of holes", is obliged:

Fulfill practically any requirements of other prisoners;
- to carry out all the dirty work in the cell, barracks, section. Namely, to wash the floors, take out the trash cans, clean up the distant (parasha, latrine, etc.). At the same time, in the detachments, all dalnyaks are assigned to the "roosters" who are responsible for their cleanliness;
- to live only in the premises of the "offended", ordinary huts, sections and barracks are not for them;
- when entering the cell (section, barrack) for the first time, immediately inform the whole hut “I am offended” and modestly settle down near the brakes (doors) or the dalnyak (toilet), where to wait for the further decision of their fate. If the "rooster" hid the fact that he was offended and behaved like an ordinary prisoner (he shook hands, drank chifir with everyone from a common mug, sat down at a common table), and then it turned out that he was a homosexual, then they could well beat him to death ... Since he “faked” (stained, infected) the entire “human hut”.
- use only separate dishes, towels, linens and other household and personal hygiene items.
- clearly realize their lowest place in the prison-camp hierarchy and understand that even all sorts of "rats", "snitches" and "knockers" are higher and will never be equated with "roosters". Is that they will be "omitted", but this is the most extreme measure, which is almost never applied.

At the stage in the Stolypin carriage, the "roosters" are placed on the floor under the lower "bunk" (shelf), or (if you're lucky) in a separate "compartment".

I will tell you what they do with those who, having jumped into the "Stolypin", in the hope of the general bustle of the road, do not inform the rest of the convicts that they are "offended". In the winter of 2011, I happened to visit the stage Murmansk - Vologda - Moscow. One of the escorts, during the withdrawal to the toilet, looked into the neighboring compartment and, passing, managed to shout that one of the convicts sitting there was a “cock”, they say, he recognized him from the Murmansk central. After a difficult conversation, the Murmansk resident admitted that he was a homosexual and lived in a “offended prison” in the Murmansk pre-trial detention center, but decided to hide his sexual orientation. He was beaten for a long time and severely (there were at least 10 convicts in the neighboring "kupeshka"). Then they kicked him under the bottom shelf, where he spent the rest of the long journey. Yes, and more. The experienced convoy defiantly paid no attention to the situation. Only then did he take the “offended” person several times to clean the shared toilets and the corridor in the “stolypin”.

Until recently, “offended” were forcibly made special “portacas” (tattoos, tattoos), informing about their orientation. Here are just a few:

1.Designation: homosexual - "daisy", "mashka", "rooster", "comb", "blue", "chushok". The location is the back.
2.Has the name "King of all stripes". The designation is a homosexual capable of all forms of sex. The location is the back.
3.Tattoo of authority among homosexuals, the so-called "chief cock".
4. The ring of the "lowered"

Now such a tattoo can only be done by force to those who have already been seen trying to hide their "cock suit".

Here is a brief about the "rights and duties" of representatives of sexual minorities in places of detention.

I suggest LGBT activists, politicians and journalists parasitizing on the topic of protecting (it is not clear from what) sexual minorities, to end the screams about the Olympics and groans about the ban on gay pride parades around schools and kindergartens, and start protecting the rights of homosexuals in zones and prisons. Of course, they don't pay for it, there is no PR, and it is somehow scary to go into barracks and huts ... But try it. A?

Chamber life. Looking. Cock

Several times I already sat down to write "specifics", but still could not present everything as I would like. Therefore, I partly went a little into abstract topics.

Several times my friends asked me - how is it, there? Usually you start talking, you look at the interlocutor and you see a misunderstanding - the person listens, but does not perceive. This simply does not enter his head. As if we are talking about integral calculus. All the words seem to be understandable - but they don't add up to a picture.

It's hard to understand that right here, nearby, in the same city where you live, where ordinary people walk at a distance of some 10 meters, is a completely different world. Some of the prisoners called it "The Lost World". Rotting bodies, stench, lice, bedbugs, scabies, tuberculosis, "roosters" under the bins, stinking gruel with worms, "concepts", cops and thieves' chaos.

Once, seeing a misunderstanding, I took a friend into the bathroom - an ordinary average bathroom in an ordinary apartment. Imagine, I say, that in this bathtub we put three two-tier bins, a table, a toilet bowl (more precisely, just a point - "dalnyak" - like in public toilets).

And now we are settling 7-8, and maybe 10-12 people here. What is it like? - a person looks at me with disbelief, - here you just can't become ten, even if you throw everything away and leave bare walls, and not that three bins ...

Of course, there is nowhere to become - but you can live. A year, two, three - going out only once a day for an incomplete hour for a walk.

This is exactly the picture I saw when I crossed the threshold of hut number 105 of the Kaliningrad prison.

Shkonari welded from pipes and metal strips. At first glance, there are mattresses - but later it turned out that they are practically empty - this is a luxury item in the prison. A very limited number of them are passed on "by inheritance" to their families and relatives. The rest is just camouflage with a few lumps of cotton wool. Therefore, many have to sleep almost on metal.

But this is already a familiar thing - ten days before that, there weren't even those like that in quarantine - they just sleep there on iron, without mattresses, blankets, beds. October in the Baltics is already very cold and wet, especially at night. It is impossible to sleep more than an hour and a half - you had to get up and move, drink tea (if any). And you don't have more than 8 hours, since there are 30 people in the hut for 10 places. So now it will be possible to sleep off on this mattress and even under a blanket. How little a person needs for joy.

Dalnyak is fenced off by a screen. A water tap comes out above him and water pours directly into the point. This must always be remembered, since getting up after a great need, you can stumble on his back. But forgetting about it is not so easy - it leaks, and when you are sitting on the far side, cold water drips on your back. To prevent water droplets from irritating them with a sound, a strip of matter is tied to the tap, and water flows down through it.

Next to the table is a common fund, firmly concreted into the floor. No more than two people can sit behind him - one on a nearby cabinet, the other on a stool. Above it is a "TV" - a metal box for dishes and food.

Stool - "stool" is not attached to the floor. In general, this is a violation - everything must be firmly welded to the floor. But in this kennel it is simply impossible - nowhere.

The passage between the skonars is exactly for one person, and even then - not particularly broad-shouldered. Two, even sideways, cannot pass. In total, the passage from the doors ("brakes") to the distant shkonar is four steps. Sometimes I even managed to walk - three steps, on the fourth turn, three again ... and so on for an hour. But this is rare - in short intervals of unfilled (this is when TOTAL 7 people) huts.

The top shkonar at the tails is a worker. They do not sleep on it, there is a work place for a road builder - who is responsible for roads, that is, communication between huts. They do not sleep there for another reason - there are no windows and in cold weather it is simply impossible to be there. The trunks are stacked there. And plus a few strips from the shkonar ripped out - someone needed a "saber" at one time, most likely, to slightly push the button accordion fur.

There are practically no windows - that is, it is, under the ceiling, but you will not be able to see anything through it - metal blinds, called accordion (or cilia), are installed so that only air can pass through. The light practically does not pass - in the cells, day and night - around the clock - a light is on (only then the words of the famous song reached me - "Taganka, all nights are full of fire ..."). There are two more grates - tails. One forged, still German, with large cells - 20 centimeters, the other small - minced meat - from fittings, with a cell size smaller than a matchbox - is already ours.

The walls are incredibly dirty brown. It looks like they were once white. They say that overhaul has not been done here since the days of Germany - more precisely, the end of the war. Very similar to that. This prison is one of the few buildings that have survived from the old Königsberg. Under the Germans in such huts - they say - there were two people. Yes, together it would be more or less bearable here.

The dimensions of the chamber are 3.60 x 1.70, the height is about 2.50. For 10 people. Now even toilets sometimes do more.

In the corners there are huge ancient cobwebs and the same huge spiders. The spider and the web is one of the main thieves' symbols and therefore is very often found on tattoos. According to prisoners' beliefs, you cannot touch a spider - something like a sacred animal. You can relocate as a last resort. But in hut 105, they were evidently highly respected and not touched at all. But at least there were no flies.

Sanya was driving in the hut. He was 35 then. He was in the third year of his fifth (and probably not the last) walk, which in total had already gained 13 years. 35 minus 13 is equal to 22. He began to sit at 17. Total 5 at large - 13 in prison. Previously, I kicked according to concepts, but did not rush to the authorities. Now he got tired and began to think about life. The face is surprisingly kind and even childish. No one gave Sanka either his 35 or the fifth pass from the first time. For a cunning gloomy prisoner, everyone who entered the hut took me - and made round eyes when they found out how it really was.

After a short calm conversation (who, where, the article came from) he assigned me an upper bunk ("palm") above me. Brewed chifirku. When I soon fell asleep (after sleepless nights of quarantine), already in my sleep I felt how he threw his blanket over me. And even what I learned about him later did not dull the feeling of gratitude for the sympathy shown.

But this moment was preceded by one more incident. We were thrown into the 105th hut together from quarantine - there was another guy of about 27. When we entered, one of the prisoners, who was sleeping on the upper rack, raised his head, uttered an exclamation of surprise and turned to the one who had followed me:

"You have a choice - either you are breaking out of the hut now or I am showing you."

He replied that he does not feel anything with himself and will remain in the hut.

"Then stand near the brakes and don't move. You fuck your ass and take it in your mouth."

He refused - nothing like that, you will answer for the market and all that.

Sanya enters the conversation and turns to Seryoga (that was the name of the prosecutor) - "Are you sure? Do you know him?" - "Yes, this is Vokha, besides, she suffered in my first case, a fellow countryman from Baltiysk. I heard about him from the right people, that he took the cheek under the foolishness and asked that they would hit him in the ass when they heifers were dragged. "

Sanya turns to Vokha - "Is it true?" - "No. The fact that he was a patient, I admit, gave testimony at the trial, and everything else is chees." "Are you answering?" - "I answer". "Can you confirm?" - "I can." "Sat?" - "Six months in a pre-trial detention center, now I went under a convention." "What did they take?" - "Cops, bastards, set up, hang up gop-stop."

"Then there will be such a decision," Sanyok says, "you guys know the concept - each of you must substantiate your words. Your term is 10 days. Sign off in prison, free as you want. I give you more than enough term. you, Seryoga, there is a suspicion that you want to instigate vain on the guy in revenge for the past. We do not respect patience, but they don’t drive them under the bunk either - these are your affairs. You are seriously accused - you know what will happen if In the meantime, you are under suspicion. Do not touch the dishes and products, do not drink tea from common mugs. Your shkonar is under the window (in cold weather this is the worst place in the hut - a draft and a dubar is just the same as outside - it's hard lie even an hour). If someone wants to share a place with you - while you are under suspicion - no problem. "

No one shared his shkonar with Vokha like that. Serega found more witnesses (eyewitnesses, as they say in prison - they do not like witnesses there) who confirmed his words. And Voha never looked for anyone. He sat and doomed awaiting his fate, which, as he realized, he could not avoid.

Seeing this alignment, Sanya did not even wait for the deadline allotted to him and demanded an explanation, during which he kissed Vokha's face (after carefully removing his slippers). He still refused. Then Sanya still waited until the deadline and announced Voh a rooster. With further beating with feet - it turns out that it is impossible to beat the roosters with your hands - you can "end up".

He tried to break from the hut, but the opera did not want to translate it - we, they say, don't care about it - there is nowhere to put it, do with it what you want. After that, he independently moved under the shkonar, although Sanyok still allowed him to live on his shkonar - on a concrete floor in such cold weather it was impossible to last at least a few hours, in my opinion, but he could. When the cops came in for checks, they laughed and told him - give a sound to know if he was alive. Once they just stopped by with a boot - Voha mumbled something in pain. "Aaa, it means alive" - \u200b\u200bsaid the cop and went on.

With the intensification of cold weather, Voha nevertheless got out from under the bunk and lived quietly on his bunk, talking to himself about something. When they drank tea in the hut, they also poured him into his mug and gave him cigarettes. He himself, without compulsion, regularly swept the hut and from time to time began to prove that he was not a rooster. Then he agreed again.

Later, after the New Year, he went to a stage for an investigation in his town. When he returned, they threw him into another house. He became quiet again and did not say who he was. This time he was less fortunate - they beat him for a long time, they broke him from the hut, they made an announcement to the whole prison. After the donkey, he was somewhere offended and more was not heard of him.

And even in quarantine, he behaved brazenly enough and tried, even for no reason, to show his coolness, to make a person "fall on a rag" - to clean the hut. I probably decided to act according to the old Zon's adage - "It is better to drive than to be persecuted." But everything turned out the other way around. Received in response in the face. Not by concept, of course, but the conflict was settled.

And they put Vokha, as it turned out, for a bag of potatoes. Granny was selling on the street, he approached, wanted to take the proceeds from her, but either it was not there, or the granny did not give it. Then he took a sack of potatoes that she was selling, threw it over his shoulders and tried to dump it, but a police squad was just nearby. During the investigation, he said that he was simply helping the granny to carry the bag across the road. And as his conditional conviction for hooliganism has not yet ended, a sack of potatoes probably cost him several years.

And Sanyok behaved very calmly, he loved to tell all sorts of prisoners' stories about how it was before. He had about six months before his release. He had no family or friends. Some cousin somewhere in the village - that's all.

He was afraid to go free. No home, no family. And waited for release with fear. This was visible to the naked eye. Yes, he himself did not particularly hide this in conversations with me. Often he asked about all sorts of everyday little things - up to how to go by trolley bus, buy a ticket, etc. How to get to the station - he (and his aunt) lived somewhere in a village far from the regional center. He was just panicky afraid to go through the city, gets into a trolleybus. He was afraid of women - he himself said that he had no more of them in his 35 years than the intervals between imprisonment. And even then - with a stretch. Often on long nights, he quietly asked me to tell him about life - what to do, what to do, what to do and how. He often said that he had nothing to do in freedom - I would go out, he said, I would take a little walk until I was caught again in some petty theft - and I would sit down again.

Here he felt like a fish in water. Everything was familiar to him, he didn't have to think about shelter and bread. He even went for walks at most once a week. He enjoyed a certain respect - he knew how to beautifully tell young people about concepts and life. Although he treated the young, spreading his fingers with irony and could successfully laugh at their childish naivety.

Sanya, as it turned out, was a regular informant - he knocked, that is. I began to guess about this already after two or three stays in the hut. Later, in other huts, this was confirmed.

Although he had no relatives, he regularly, about once a month, went on dates. He said that he had skented with a man alone during a year of joint imprisonment, so he comes to him. Also, once a month I received parcels - always about the same - simple cigarettes, Georgian tea, a little bacon, caramels. Later I heard about such programs - they were used by the opera to pay off their non-staff employees. And they took them from obschakovskih broadcasts as a bribe for connivance. The circulation of cigarettes in nature turned out to be interesting.

Those who were of interest to them, and only first-timers, were thrown into his hut to protect Sanka from unwanted meetings.

Why so, why he was afraid to go to the zone - I don't know. Most likely, he was just tired of everything and he wanted some, at least temporary, peace of mind. The opera provided him with certain guarantees of a quiet life, at least in prison, in exchange for information.

I must admit that Sanya never questioned anyone, and did not fish out anything. Yes, on the other hand, it was not necessary - the language is the smallest member of the body, but who can curb it. Nights and days last oh how long - and I want to talk to someone. People could hardly tell about their exploits.

But then he suddenly had a goal - Sanya fell in love ...
